Students Offer Wares at International Sale
Wares from all parts of the world are pouring into YWCA office for the World Friendship club’s international sale scheduled for Thursday and Friday in the Student Union lobby.
Stationery and jewel boxes ornamented with Russian scenes worked in brass. Chinese figurines carved from wood, intricately embroidered wall hangings, and Jade jewelry are among the articles which will be sold.
Samples of the merchandise will be on display at the club’s tea tomorrow afternoon from 4 to 6 o’clock in the Student Union lounge.
Decorations at the tea will carry out an international theme with flags of many nations forming the centerpiece. The American colors or red, white, and blue will be featured in the table covering.
A short program will be present-
ed during the tea.
Dr. Mary Sinclair Crawford, counselor of women, and Prof. Pearle Aikin-Smith, assistant counselor of women, will be special guests. Representatives of high school World Friendship clubs of the southwest area, campus foreign clubs, and the International Relations club have been invited.
Inventory for the international sale was completed last night.
Donna Hale, sale chairman, announces that all merchandise to be sold must be in the YWCA office Wednesday morning for tagging. Because tags had to be purchased, a small amount will be deducted from the gross intake to cover this expense.
Ilda Gerber, club chairman, requests members to meet at 4 p.m. today in the YWCA office. Final arrangements for the tea will be made and women to work at the sale will be appointed.
He insisted that he and Mr. Roosevelt “never mentioned finance at all” during their conference and that the President “made no promises of any sort or kind.”
The ambassador went to the White House two days after his return from London where he conferred during the past month with his government.
HOPE EXPRESSED
Lord Lothian’s expression ol British hopes for American assistance in the form of finance, ships and planes—a reiteration of statements he made immediately after his return from England—came in the midst of a brewing congressional battle over any proposal to make U. S. loans or credits available to Britain.
After leaving the White House, he went to the state department for a conference with Secretary of State Cordell Hull who returned today from a 10-day vacation.
Earlier, Mr. Roosevelt met with Hull for about a half hour after the President conferred for 90-minutes with Senate Majority Leader Alben W. Barkley and other congressional advisers. DEBATE UNLIKELY
Barkley said afterwards that he did not believe the matter of British loans or credits would be brought up during the remaining days of the present session.
He and the others declined to say whether the question of loans was discussed during the conversations with Mr. Roosevelt.
Tip-off on the impending congressional battle was furnished by Sen. Gerald P. Nye, R., N. D„ who introduced a resolution calling for a senatorial inquiry into the extent of the British empire’s financial resources in this country.
The action was seen as a reply to demands by Sen. William H. King, O., Utah, for repeal of the Johnson Act which bans credits and loans to any nation in default of its World war debts to the United States.
Cash Award Awaits Winner in Play Contest
Winning productions in the contest seeking plays for the all-U musical show will be submitted to commercial producers in the theatrical and motion picture fields, the SC committee selecting a script reported. The contest is sponsored by the American Society of Composers and Publishers.
An added incentive of a $1500 cash award has encouraged several students on campus to enter the competition.
The committee, under the chairmanship of Steve Zorich, will select the best play submitted by students and arrange for its production. Judges, chosen by ASCAP, will make their choice from all those given in Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, and Califomia colleges.
Complete musical compositions and scripts are due in the ASSC office the week following Christmas vacation. Zorich offers to give complete information and rules concerning the contest to those interested. He works in the information office in the Administration building and may be reached there from 8 a.m. to 12 M. to make appointments for conferences.
Students may collaborate, but the material must be original. Authors of scripts and musical scores are requested to get in touch with Zorich within the next week and to report their progress frequently.

Rally Season Ends With Thud
A note of “appeasement" brought Troy’s only night rally of the year to a close last night in Bovard auditorium as nearly 2500 enthusiastic SC rooters gathered to work up spirit for the final conference game of the season with UCLA Saturday in the coliseum.
It was Chairman Clark Liddell of the entertainment committee who sounded the “so sorry” theme as he waved a fistful of telegrams containing regrets. He promised to obtain Tommy Dorsey and orchestra for one more rally in the near future, however.
Ken Baker and his musicians furnished some of the best melodies of the year for the three acts, outstanding of which was the comedy dancing of the Rio brothers from the Florentine gardens. “Skitch” Henderson, NBC artist, entertained with some fancy piano playing. “The Great Jack,” magician, also performed.
Midway in the evening’s festivities, Rally Chairman Tom Eddy introduced Charles Johnston, ASSC president, who in turn introduced Donna Lewis, ASSC vice-president, who 'hen presented the UCLA guest of the evening. Billie Mae Thomas. Bruin student body vice-president. Miss Thomas spoke briefly of vandalism and the “big” game. James Devere, Bruin president, was unable to appear because of illness.
As the concluding feature of the two-hour long affair was kaleidoscopic cinema by the Trojan Newsreel, including shots of the Oregon, Stanford, California, and Washington games and card stunts, and the train trip to Palo Alto.
