British
Capture
Bardia
Italian Base Falls After 20-Day Siege; 5000 Soldiers Taken
CAIRO, Jan. 5 — (U.P.)— Italy's base of Bardia fell in shambles today to Britain’s invasion of Libya, after 20 days of savage siege. All its 25.000 defenders including the Fascist commander were taken prisoner in +he first major British victory of the war on Italian soil.
The complete capture of Bardia at 1 p.m., after the rout of a suicidal force of about 5000 Italian I “Terribili" holding out ^n defenses to the southeast, was announced in a communique of the British Middle East command tonight.
ENTIRE ARMY CAPTURED
The hoisting of Britain’s Union Jack above the Bardia government house meant the complete shattering of Marshal Dodolfo Graziani’s Italian army of invasion, which in September struck 75 miles across Egypt to Sidi Barrani only to be thrown back in one of the most disastrous routs in military history.
With the taking of the 25.000 Italian prisoners, in the final assault on Bardia, the number of Italian troops falling prisoner in the sweep of Britain’s desert blitzkrieg rose to perhaps 70,000 men— Graziani’s entire invasion army, it was said.
GENERAL SURRENDERS
General Bergonzoli, handsome bearded* commander who resisted valiantly within Bardia because Premier Benito Mussolini had ordered the base defended “at all costs.” surrendered to the British conquest, led by wildly-shouting Australian ! troops.
i Tonight’s communique said that General Bergonzoli was captured along with a corps commander and four of his senior generals.
Thus, Britain’s offensive has stripped Italy of at least 10 of its best fighting leaders in the past month, according to official accounts.
LOOT TAKEN
Not a single Italian soldier escaped death or capture in the taking of Bp.rdia. it was stated, and the amount of war loot was enormous. including 50 tanks, 45 of them swift “Whippets.”
Streets of Bardia were in flames —from incessant aerial, naval and artillery bombardment — when the British vanguard of Australian troops stormed in behind tanks and low-slung Bren gun carts.

FDR Outlines Loan-Lease Plan Today
Congress Expected to Give Early Approval of British Aid
WASHINGTON, Jan. 5—(U.E) — President Roosevelt will outline to congress tomorrow his “loan-lease” plan to continue and expand short-of-war aid to Great Britain, and indications tonight pointed toward its early approval.
Non-interventionists admitted privately that they have not sufficient strength in either house to defeat it
Legislators, cabinet ministers and supreme court justices — the men who shape the policies of the world's mightiest democracy — will gather in the house tomorrow to hear the chief executive report on the state of the union.
BUDGET MESSAGE
It was considered a certainty that Mr. Roosevelt will exhort the country to new efforts in speeding the multi-billion dollar defense program. Its progress is expected to be outlined in broad terms, but the white house has indicated that the president will not present a statistical review.
On Wednesday, the president will send up his budget message, expected to call for $10,000,000,000 for defense and $7,000,000,000 for regular federal functions.
PAY-AS-WE-GO PLAN
Projected expenditure of such a huge sum has brought repercussions in congress. Rep. Clifton Woodrum, Democrat, Vt., leader of the house “economy” bloc is agitating for creation of a super-budget committee to prevent runaway spending. He is urging a modified pay-as-we-go policy of financing the defense program — a policy which envisages increased taxation.

Trojane Athletes Plan Banquet
Women athletes will feast at the semi-annual WAA banquet to be held Thursday evening. Betty Johnson, vice-president of the association announced Friday.
Those who have won athletic honors will be presented with sweaters. Plaques will be distributed to sorority and non-org teams that have won bowling and basketball tournaments.
Jean Montgomery, chairman of the decorations committee, plans ornaments in red, white, and blue to carry out a patriotic motif.
von KieinSmid last Friday expressed his thanks to the donor, Capt. Allan Hancock, and accepted the building and equipment of the new foundation for advanced scientific research on behalf of the board of trustees of SC, the faculty, students, and alumni.
A processional of 236 delegates including 43 presidents from universities and colleges throughout the United States passed in cap and gown through Doheny library grounds to Bovard auditorium in the opening ceremony of the dedicatory exercises. These representatives of the Association of American Colleges, who assemble this week in Pasadena, heard Dr. von KieinSmid declare that educators need to stand together to preserve and apply truth.
SCIENTIFIC CENTER
“It is significant that while the world outside struggles to suppress truth, into this campus comes an institution in which all things will be examined. Not only do we pay tribute to the donor, but mankind will pay homage in the years to come for the benefits of his foresight.”
The Allan Hancock Foundation for Scientific Research, dedicated to the advancement of the arts as well as science, is intended as a center for research in zoology, botany, and related fields. The four-story, re-inforced-concrete laboratory building displays above the brick facing between columns and beside the north entranee sculptures of zoological specimens, suggesting the scientific purpose of the structure. COLLECTIONS PRESERVED
Collections of sea, mammal, and bird life obtained on the voyages of the floating laboratory, Velero III, over a period of nine years are stored permanently in steel stack sections. On the ground floor, tanks provide circulation in batteries of salt, fresh, or sterile water to allow observation of life cycles in marine forms.
In presenting to the university the newly-completed hall, which includes an auditorium, a library, and a wing of four rooms removed intact from his former home at Wilshire and Vermont, Captain Hancock said:
“This building, in which we have attempted to provide facilities for the advancement of science and the arts, is only a framework. It will be the privilege of devoted students and members of the faculty to develop its resources in the true spirit of pioneers.”
MERRIAM SPEAKS
The speaker of the morning. Dr. John C. Merriam, president emeritus, Carnegie Institution of Washington, described his lengthy paleontological studies among the fossils removed from the La Brea tar pits, formerly a part of the Hancock ranch. Dr. Merriam, who is a regent of the Smithsonian Institute and former dean of faculty at the University of California, continued in his discussion of “Responsibility of Science in Planning for a New World Order.”
“If the influence of science were allowed to exert its full force, it would mean the eliminating of untruth, dishonesty, and all effort (Continued on Page Four)

Discussing democracy and imperialistic trends and whether the two are compatible, Dr. John Eric Nordskog, political scientist, has been scheduled to speak at the weekly Wednesday lecture from 3 to 5 p.m. in the art and lecture room of Doheny library.
Although Dr. Nordskog was not available for a direct statement Friday afternoon, reports from his office implied that he would refer to the imperialistc trends of the United States in the past few decades and give his opinion on whether these trends necessarily preclude democracy.
Dr. Nordskog, associate professor of sociology, is scheduled to discuss the question, “Are Democracy and Imperialism Incompatible,” and he plans, according to previous statements, to present various phases of the question, though what these phases are was not revealed.
Following Dr. Nordskog’s lecture, the meeting will be open for discussion, and the audience will be allowed to address any question in reference to the lecture to him.
Whether the lecture will cover the European war or Germany’s attempts to build an empire was not disclosed for publication.

Miss Miller’s “The White Cliffs” contrasts the English with the American way of life. An American woman marries an Englishman, and throughout the book states her opinion of the English people and traditions.
ASCAP Bans Fight On'
SC Songs Hit as Controversy Rages
Between Ffeuding Musical Organizations
Radio’s civil war forced a “blackout" on Troy’s two most popular songs late last week as “Fight On” and “All Hail” were banned from network broadcasting by ASCAP.

Hinkle to Address Episcopal Club Today
“What Should the Church Mean to the Students” is the topic on which the Rev. Ralph V. Hinkle, rector of the Holy Faith Episcopal Church of Inglewood, will speak at today's luncheon meeting of the Episcopal club. The group will meet in the tea room of the Student Union.
Other songs barred were “Let’s Go Trojan” and the “Cardinal and Gold.” All four of the songs cam* under a ruling made Friday by the Pacific coast offices of the three networks.
OFFICIAL STATEMENT
According to a statement released for publication, “Any copyright that is not owned solely by the university or any song that has been published cannot be played over the national airwaves.”
Status of other university song* must be determined by a check with the New York offices of the networks before the songs are played over the air. according to the Lo* Angeles representative of the broadcasters.
INDEPENDENTS UNHARMED
Independent stations with an ASCAP contract were not hit by the ban, and since the basketball games are broadcast over KFWB, which comes under this classification, Trojan band music will still be heard.
Unless the controversy is settled by September, however, next football season will see a drastic revision in broadcasting. The first effects of this change were felt on New Year’s day when announcers of the various bowl games were housed in soundproof booths and cut off all crowd noises and band music. OTHER SONGS
Hardly a college in the nation escaped unscathed. Pacific coast school songs affected include: Stanford’s “Come Join the Band,” California’s “Hail to Califomia.” Washington’s “Bow Down to Washington." UCLA’s “Stand Up for the Blue and Gold,” and Washington State’s "Tearing Along.”
Other college songs barred from network presentation are "On Bra** Old Army Team,” “Anchors Aweigh,*. “Down the Field.” “Notre Dam* Victory March,” “On Wisconsin.” “Fordham Ram,” “Hail to Pitt,” and “Maine Stein Song.”

Carving Display Opens in Harris Hall Today
Baldwin to Speak to Wesleyans
Dr. DeWitt C. Baldwin, chairman of the student department in the board of missions and church ex-tention of the Methodist church, will speak on “Creative Opportunities in the World Task of the Church” before the Wesley club meeting at 12 M. today in the University Methodist church.
Nine wood-carvings, listed at prices up to $900. by Genevieve Karr Hamblin go on exhibit today in the courtyard of Harris hall, under the auspices of the College of Architecture.
Miss Hamblin’s sculptures, often exhibited in the East, are displayed for the first time in the West.
The sculptress teaches her art at the Newark School of Fine and Industrial Arts. Although all her objects here are in wood, she also works and instructs in every medium of sculpture: cutting stone, building in wet clay for terra cotta, modeling for metal casting, and piecemolding for pouring and squeezing clay or terra cotta.
Of her theory of sculpture, one critic has said:
“She sees sculpture not as representation of subjects but as mass-
es and forms which are related to
each otther for the purpose of con-each other for the purpose of conveying an emotion rather than a picture of something.”
Her wood figures are simple, usually of people and animats, and of small, ornamental size. She fit* her ideas to the kinds of wood with which she works—rosewood, walnut, mahogany, birch, ebony, lignum vitae, African yew, and others. She looks for the American type.
Three of the best of the wood-carvings on exhibit here, according to Prof. Arthur C. Weatherhead, dean of the College of Architecture, are “Midnight Duet,*’ a couple in embrace, birch, listed at $700; “Mother and Children,” walnut, $900; and “Little Girl," rosewood* $300.
