Browder Sentence Upheld by Court
WASHINGTON, Feb. 17—(U.P>— The supreme court today upheld the conviction of Earl R. Browder, general secretary of the Communist party in the United States, on charges of “using" a fraudulently-obtained passport.

CLASSES CANCELLED Students of the university and their guests are invited to attend the assembly to hear Dr. von KieinSmid. Ten o’clock classes will be cancelled in order to give everyone an opportunity to be present.
In the past Dr. von KieinSmid has expressed his conviction that “college men should be allowed to complete their course of study before being called upon to serve in the army.”
EXPLAINS BELIEF He expressed this belief early this month before a recent luncheon on the SC campus.
Further explaining his point Dr. von KieinSmid added:
“It is my humble opinion, but strong conviction, that men now regularly registered in college should complete their courses.”

In strengthening this statement he explained that the people of the nation ought to think not only of leadership in time of war, but of the welfare of the nation for years afterward. The leaders of the future, he said, are being trained in the universities of today.

Postoffice'
Welcomes
Contributions
“Postoffice” .has .always, been a game devoted to “free expression.”
But the game of “Postoffice” as played by the student body and the Daily Trojan gives you an even wider range of expression.
The “Postoffice” column printed on the feature page of the Daily Trojan, was formerly known as the Let-ters-to-the-Editor column.
The idea of this new column is to get all students, faculty members, and administrative officials of the university to play “Postoffice” in public!
How do you play? . . Wish Mary or John a happy birthday. Tell Mr. X he has
less brains than-(fill
in your own simile).
Or, if you are so inclined, tell the world what you think of it—or how you would run this planet! Just drop a letter of 250 words or less in any campus “Post-office” box.

SUCCESS IMPOSSIBLE
Such being the case, he continued, I “even if Germany moves down in the Balkans, she will not be successful in changing the position of England in the Mediterranean because this involves what is solely a naval question.”
In dealing with the Mediterranean problem, Polyzoides will explain the present policies of Great Britain and the prospects of adjustments to folow the present war. He also will discuss the background for the Italo-Greek war and the British-Italian conflict.
BRITAIN STRENGTHENED “Great Britain’s position will become strengthened as time goes on,” prophesied Polysoides, “because she is constantly buliding more battleships and her naval forces are increasing by leaps and bounds.” When the winter is over,” he observed, “the positions of the British army in the Balkans and her general naval position will improve.”
In dealing with the Mediterranean problem, Polyzoides will present the background of the early struggles for supremacy in that area, paying particular attention to the 19th century. During this period the importance of the Mediterranean was greatly enhanced by the opening of the Suez canal.
