Matsuoka Voices Hope of Getting Pacific Sphere for Expansion
TOKYO, Feb. 25—(U.P.)— Foreign Minister Yosuke Matsuoka said today that he hoped to obtain the islands of central and south Pacific ocean as a sphere for Japanese and other Asiatic migration through “an understanding” with European nations and the United States.
The foreign minister made it clear that Australia. New Zealand and Hawaii are not within the proposed sphere which he mentioned during debate in parliament Tuesday. The areas to which he refers. he said, include such sparsely settled lands as New Guinea, which now is controlled jointly by Australia and the Netherlands. DEFINITE PLANS DISCLAIMED Amplifying his statement, Matsuoka said that he has no immediate, definite program but that, as a long range ideal, the western
Students Ask Removal of Illegal Restrictions on Hoover Boulevard at Meeting Tonight
»
Student action on the illegality of parking signs on Hoover boulevard will be presented to the police department in the form of a letter to be composed at a meeting of the senate tonight, according to Charles Johnston, ASSC president.
Solution of the parking problem,
which was brought to a head recently by the individual research made by a graduate student, will form one of the main isSues of the meeting.
Barney Land, graduate, discovered that the one-hour parking signs on Hoover were no longer legal. He will be present to show members of the senate the letter he sent to the police department requesting immediate removal of the parking restrictions on Hoover between 34th and Exposition boulevard.
Backing up his promise of support to Land, Johnston will present the matter to the senate. SC stu-
dent representatives will then compose a letter to be sent to the police requesting immediate action.
“We are going to do everything that we can tonight to back up Land,” said Johnston. We also will use his acquittal on a charge of illegal parking as a basis for requesting that the signs be taken down.
Land was awarded an acquittal recently when the court ruled that the Los Angeles police commission had exceeded its authority in naming Hoover boulevard as a business street, subject to the posting of one-hour time limits.

Roosevelt Proposes New Fund
Cash, Authorizations Requested to Speed Air Force Expansion
WASHINGTON, Feb. 24 — (U.P.) — President Roosevelt today asked congress to give the army immediately $3,812,-311,197 in cash and authorization to speed expansion of the army air corps and hasten rearmament generally.
The funds requested include $1,-412.241.000 in cash and contractual authority for the air corps and $868,396,000 for erection of new plants and other facilities to produce armaments and supplies. Total cash requested amounted to $1,716,225,000 and contractual to $2,096,086,197.
Several items in the request were included in the 1942 budget sent to congress last month. He offered no explanation but the seriousness of the world situation apparently prompted him to seek the appropriations earlier than planned. He asked that duplicating items in the budget be eliminated.
NEW AID INDICATED
Some quarters interpreted the requests as indicating a sharp increase in aid to Britain in the next few months. They said that materials contemplated in the requests, particularly planes and heavy armaments, are particularly vital to the British defense effort.
The chief executive did not specify proposed disposition of the money. Informed congressional circles reported the major portion of the air corps funds would go for purchase of 3600 medium and heavy bombers. They would be assembled in plants now being built at Kansas City, Kans., Omaha. Neb., Tulsa, Okla., and Fort Worth, Texas.
It is understood that the air corps’ program contemplates a request for $1,000,000,000 more at a later date to cover 12.000 light planes, half of them trainers. Together with the bomber orders, these contracts would boost to about 34.600 the number of army planes on order.
SPECIAL MESSAGE
Mr. Roosevelt sent congress another special message asking immediate appropriation (ft $150,000,-000 to provide ‘‘community facilities” In areas where the defense program has caused sudden population increases.
He said that in many of these communities improved streets, additional water and seWage systems, and better health, safety and welfare facilities are needed for “the new workers and their families.” He said communities could not be expected to finance these improvements themselves but that their lack has “handicapped our rearmament effort in some areas."

Dr. Smith to Discuss Microbes
Lecturer to Show Uses of Bacteria in Talk Tomorrow
Do you think that bacteria are not useful creatures? Do you thing that because some of them induce disease they are all to be condemned?
This is the point of view that Dr. W. Whitney Smith, lecturer in bacteriology, wants to obviate. Tomorrow he will appear in the second meeting of the Wednesday lecture series in 159 Science from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. His subject will be "The Microbes: We Can't Live Without Them.”
PRESERVE LIFE
In previewing his discourse. Dr. Smith, enumerated some of the fields in which bacteria are useful.
He pointed out that, aside from being necessary for the preservation of human life, microbes indirectly produce many necessities and luxuries.
When you comb your hair, button your shirt, polish your nails, scribble with your fountain pen, or write on the blackboard, you are using things that bacteria helped make. Dr. Smith said.
NEEDED FOR WARFARE
“Your car is painted with a duco that has been dissolved in a bacterial product. Then the vehicle must run on motor fuel, the result of a fermentation process,” he points out.
Dr. Smith observed that “even a self-respecting war could not be fought without the aid of microbes, because of their assistance in the manufacture of high-power bombs and ultra-modem methods of warfare.”
So Important are the microbes,
says Dr. Smith, that if they ever decide upon a general strike, mankind would be forced to exit.

Catholic Students Will Hear Koeper
The Newman club for Catholic students will hold its regular monthly meeting today at 12 M. in the tea room of the Student Union lounge.
The speaker will be the Rev. Father Francis Koeper C.M., who will discuss “The Significance and Purpose of Lent.” As a preliminary observation on his topic. Father Koeper has stated that “Lent is a time for penanca."
The speech was as significant in what it lacked as for what it contained and it appeared that he really had no burning message to give his people, but was merely talking to observe the 21st anniversary of the founding of the Nazi party.
In contrast with his bombastic sportspalast speech of January 30 he failed Monday to promise an axis victory in 1941, nor did he repeat his previous boasts that when the time comes his forces will cross the English channel and pounce upon Britain by invasion.
Two new boasts highlighted Hitler'* speech at Munich—first that
and is being fed by nearly half of Europe now and the British already have said that Hitler is building a fleet of perhaps 1.000 “vest pocket” submarines of 50 or 60 tons each and is ready to turn them loose.
It seemed significant that the British found only one point of Hitler’s hour-and-a-half speech which merited, in their opinion, a denial and that was his statement that Germany’s war at sea has sunk 215,000 more tons of British shipping. 190.000 tons of lt by U-boats, and that this undersea terror will become steadily worse.
Hitler, the British said, is up to his old tricks of padding the score.
Hitler’s stress on the ravages which he expects from his U-boats was taken in many quarters to mean that he is going to intensify his “starvation grip” on the British isles, leaving until later his all-out aerial assault of total destruction followed perhaps by an invasion attempt.
Hitler skipped over the tense Balkan situation in his speech at Munich, but developments there seemed perilously near the exploding point.
Dispatches from the Bulgarian capital indicated that Hitler may be ready to give marching orders at any hour to his Balkan army, pending them into Bulgaria and then down for an attack on Greece unless the Greeks submit to a dictated peace with Italy.
Both Balkan and British observers believed the Nazi occupation of Bulgaria might come within a matter of hours, at any rate within a few days.
Roth to Renew Engineers' Plan for Coffee Hour

British Flee From Bulgaria
SOFIA. Feb. 24—a’.P>—The British legation today began destroying confidential records and evacuated members of its staff to Turkey as signs multiplied rapidly that the German army is ready to begin its large-scale occupation of Bulgaria, possibly within a matter of hours.
The Bulgarian government ordered nation-wide air-raid blackouts, presumably against the threat of British bombings, to begin tomorrow or Wednesday night. Bulgarian army officers in uniform studied maps in Sofia’s largest hotel tonight with mysterious German-speaking visitors garbed in civilian clothes.
Nearly 200 villas in the exclusive Bulgarian resort of Tcham Koria 43 miles from Sofia were reported to have been requisitioned for officers of the German general staff.
The resort, where King Boris has a large villa, is deep in a forest and almost impossible to spot from the air. It also has good highway connections with Sofia.
The situation and spreading expectation of big developments was made more tense by reports that Russia has informed all the Balkan governments, through ordinary diplomatic channels, that she has given Germany a free hand in southeastern Europe.
