Apparently delivering the first installment of Prime Minister Winston Churchill’s promise to ‘ drop three or four tons of bombs on Germany for every ton dropped on Britain,” the RAF was maintaining the destructive pace of its seven-day-old aerial offensive.

The all-out aerial blows coincided with disclosure that secret British maneuvers, held recently, had indicated that Germany might be able to effect a landing on the English coast, even though the invasion probably would be crushed.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12— (UP)— The administration tonight again bowed to the opposition and agreed to accept an amendment to President Roosevelt’s British aid bill which would tighten congressional control over billions of dollars to be spent under the program.
Foes of the bill protested that the measure passed by the house last week would give the president “blank check” power to negotiate contracts without regard to the amount appropriated by congress. The new amendment would limit these contractural pledges to moneys appropriated or authorized by the legislators, thus keeping the purse strings in their hands.
NO CEILING The revision would not place a ceiling on the ultimate amount of appropriations or authorizations which congress can vote for the proposed all-out aid effort. The administration will not accept such a ceiling. Under the new plan, however, if the president asked, as an example, for $2,000,000,000 in appropriations and an additional $1,000,000,000 in authorizations, he could not make contract pledges beyond that amount until congress voted additional money.
A senate foreign relations subcommittee composed of Senate Democratic Leader Alvin B. Barkley, D„ Ky., Sen. James F. Byrnes, D., S. C., and Sen. Wallace White, R„ Me., drafted the amendment. Barkley said it represented the only major concession, in addition to the ones accepted in the house, which the administration will make.
PROVISION ELIMINATED
A second sub-committee agreed to eliminate a provision of the bill which, would have set up a “perpetual” army and navy revolving fund of repayments made by nations benefitting under the proposed undertaking. The bill specified that these payments would go into a fund used for financing the aid effort.
Under an amendment sponsored by Sen. Elbert D. Thomas. D., Utah, which the sub-committee accepted, all moneys repaid up to July i, 1946 could be allocated by the budget bureau to the army and navy for expenditure within a two year period. After 1946. all re-

In last night’s bombing attacks, part of ever-intensifying raids heavier than any since last September when the British claimed to have “shattered” German invasion preparations, industrial Hanover was attacked for the second consecutive night.
OTHER ATTACKS NOTED The air ministry said that great fires and explosions were caused at Bremen and that fuel was added to vast fires set at Hanover in a six-hour assault Monday night when 200 to 300 tons of bombs were reportedly dropped.
The attack on Hanover was the 28th since the start of the war.

Parking Ban Investigated
Legality of Hoover Boulevard Traffic Signs Questioned by SC Graduate Student
An investigation prompted by an indignant graduate student who was issued a parking citation by police produced the possibility yesterday that one-hour parking signs on Hoover
boulevard are illegal.
FBI Studies Plane Plants
By United Press
The possibility that collusion between German patent-holders and American companies may be holding up work in airplane factories on the Pacific coast tonight was under investigation by the Department of Justice.
Assistant U. S. Attorney General Thomas Clark disclosed that FBI agents have gone into the airplane factories to learn if there have been any production delays as a result of patents of German firms being protected by American companies.
“The FBI is interviewing all airplane companies, including the small concerns,” Clark said, to see if their program is being held up through inability to get certain vital airplane parts, such as casting. airplane fabric and other material.
“If we find that any American company is involved in holding up the national defense program in any manner, anti-trust suits or other criminal action may be taken.”
Von KieinSmid Will Discuss Students/ War
Phi Kappa Phi Members Inducted * Tomorrow Evening
Just what faces the college student in the near future will be answered in part by Dr. Rufus B. von KieinSmid and Dr. Robert E. Vivian, acting dean of the college of engineering, at the initiation dinner of Phi Kappa Phi. national all-university scholastic honorary society, to be held in the Foyer of Town and Gown tomorrow1 at 5:30 p.m.
National president of Phi Kappa Phi, Dr. von KieinSmid will discuss “Scholarship and Defense," while Dr. Vivian will take as his topic, “New Developments in the Chemical Indystry.”
TO STRESS DEFENSE Dr. von KieinSmid plans to stress in his talk the importance of the college graduate in the defense program, and the necessity for the student who has a carefully planned course to be able to stay in college and receive his degree. “It is no disgrace.” he explained, “for th® conscientious student to finish his education in college before enlisting in the country's defense program. In this way he will be better fitted to serve the nation.” The rapid development of chemical engineering in the nation’s industry will be traced by Dr. Vivian. He will differentiate between accidental discovery and purposeful research and explain the importance and opportunities for the college graduate in this field. ENGINEERING EXPLAINED Chemical engineering, explained Dr. Vivian, is a relatively new field that received its stimulus during the early days of the first World war. He pointed out that its importance at the present time cannot be overestimated. Almost every instrument of modem warfare as well as many peacetime activities of industry are subject to chemical processes.
It is the most important industry in the United States, and this nation is now producing more than 40 per cent of the world’s supply of chemicals. Chemical processing accounts for approximately 16 per cent of industry in tne United States.
DEVELOPMENT VOICED Dr. Vivian will trace the development of chemical engineering from ancient times to the present. It was only a short time ago that research in this field was started wih a definite goal in mind. Now thousands of men are engaged ln research in this field.
Dr. Neil Warren, chairman of the department of psychology, will preside over both the initiation and banquet. Forty-five undergraduates and 36 graduates will be initiated into the SC chapter tomorrow night.

Hostess Club Meets to Plan Assignments
The Hostess club o? the YWCA will meet today during chapel period, 9:50 to 10:10 a.m. in the Y office to discuss duties and hour assignments.
Open for membership at this time, the club offers activity points for Amazons. Eleanor Whitcomb, chairman, announced yesterday that members should sign the paper in the Y office today and designate the hours that they wish to work.
All women students on campus are eligible for membership.
Perturbed by what he termed unwarranted and unnecessary” restrictions, the student, Barney Land, a graduate in the School of Education conducted an independent suney to determine the legality of the signs.
STUDENTS RECEIVE TICKETS
Land was one of scores of SC students who recently received citations for parking on Hoover boulevard between 34th street and Exposition boulevard. The drive by police closely followed a series of pranks by students against the police and fire departments and also partly coincided with a campaign to clear the campus of parking violators.
Land's findings revealed that the parking ban was authorized under an ordinance which is now obsolete. Although citations were issued under section 80.69 of the amended traffic ordinance, the section lists no restrictions on parking In the area concerned.
ORDINANCE SUPERSEDES
The only possibility that the tickets might be legal under an old section 28.5. passed in 1924. also appeared lost when the deputy publie defender reported that the ordinance has since been superseded.
The one-hour signs were originally posted. Land's survey shows, to ease traffic conditions in the university coliseum area at the time of the Olympic games in 1932.
The request for the signs waa made on May 12. 1932, by E. Snapper Ingram, who was then councilman for the district. In a written request to the board of police commissioners. Ingram stated that “the condition will set up a hazard from cars double parking during the coming Olympic games.”
SIGNS BORROWED
Records of the Automobile Club of Southern Califomia sign-posting department show that the actual signs were borrowed from posts on Vermont avenue.
Land plead not guilty to the parking violation charged against him and requested a trial. He intends to present to the court aa his defense the results of his investigation.
Senior Named Assistant Editor

Emory W. Thurston, present assistant editor wrill assume the job of managing editor for the remainder of the semester.
The changes were made after the resignation of Alex Troffey, who has taken the position of overnight assistant in the Los Angeles United Press bureau. Troffey, a former Trojan desk editor and member of the editorial board, has served as assistant editor for the past semester.

She added that clothing not suitable for English climate would be sent to migratory camps in Bakersfield. Any textbook is acceptable provided lt ls written in English.
