Sour Buglers Create Furor in Classrooms
The willing—but far from skillful—blasts of newly-inducted army buglers wreaked havoc in classrooms Friday as the recruits started jamming on bugle calls of assorted types and flavors, concentrating on the sour variety.
The bedraggled notes of “You’re in the Army Now!” wafted across Exposition boulevard, moved Prof. Carlton C. Rodee to interrupt his comparative government lecture with the exclamation, “You aren’t kidding, brother.”
A straggling line of buck privates, their blue dungaree fatigue suits and motley array of equipment giving them somewhat the appearance of an armed road gang, aroused the trumpeters to new heights of endeavor during the 11 a.m. classes.

Violations in Parking
Increase
Campaign
Bacon Releases Dinner Tickets
Parking drive officials promise continuation of the campaign against “park sharks” this week, with Trojan Knights and Squires maintaining their strict supervision of SC lots.
|-| Total of violators given citations
Friday rose to 14, twice as many as the previous day. The increase is due to increased attendance of Friday classes.
Despite the current rise in number of citations issued parking violators, officials of the drive feel that students are responding to the appeal for better parking in campus lots. Highest total during the campaign was 42.
Of the 14 drivers isued citations on Friday, those which were not identified by tags were referred to the Automobile Club of Southern California. Numbers of license plates will reveal owners of the cars violating parking restrictions.
Those who receive citations will appear before the women's judicial court and men’s council this week. Punishment will be meted out in accordance with the seriousness of the violation.
Drivers are warned of their vio-j lation by small placards stating

Turkey to Resist Invasion
Nazi Troops Arrive at Thracian Frontier; Dive-Bombers Massed
ISTANBUL, March 9 — (U.P.)— Appearance of German Stuka dive-bombers on the island of Rhodes within sight of Turkey’s southern coast and arrival of more Nazi troops at the Thracian frontier tonight hastened wartime measures bringing Turkey close to a state of emergency.
Air raid tests were ordered for all civilian centers and preparations were understood to have been made to evacuate, in event of war, the entire 740,000 civilians of Istanbul, Turkey’s metropolis on the Dardanelles barely 150 miles east of where Adolph Hitler’s troops are massing.
SQUADRONS ARRIVE
The arrival of squadrons of Stukas on Rhodes, perhaps for attacks on any British expeditionary force attempting to land in Turkey or British warships trying to move through the Dardennelles into the Black Sea, injected fresh tension into the Turkish situation.
The number of bombers based on Rhodes, 75 miles west of the Italian air base of Castel Orizzo which British forces seized recently and held for a few days, was not disclosed here.
The government ordered a series of defense measures as the semiofficial newspaper Ulus, in an apparently inspired article, warned the Turkish people and particularly those of Istanbul to be “watchful against provocation and defeatism.”
ALARMS SOUNDED
“There has been and will be no change in our policy,” said the article. “Our objectives are to do everything to ward off the calamities of war but we will also defend ourselves against any efforts to infringe upon our territorial integrity and independence.”
Test air raid alarms wye sounded Saturday in Alexandria. Similar tests will be carried out this week in other cities and towns throughout the nation.
The ministry of defense issued orders permitting the extension of working hours to speed production in arms plants.
The big Karabuk steel works, an important armament production unit, announced that 1000 more workers had been called in.
“CORRECT ATTITUDE”
The ministry of health began to accumulate medicines and other pharmaceutical supplies.
The authoritative newspaper Tan said that a law regulating use of public transport facilities in connection with the possibility of landing British forces on Turkish territory was to have been introduced in the national assembly this week but was shelved in conformity with the Turkish government’s desire to maintain a strict “correct” attitude toward Germany.
In this connection, the pro-British newspaper Yeni Sabah was closed down for one day because of an article expressing contempt for the German army.

FDR May Seek Billions to Aid Democracies
Request Expected as Initial Move Under ‘Lease’ Bill
WASHINGTON, March 9—fT.P)~ Congressional leaders believed tonight that President Roosevelt soon will seek a multi-billion dollar appropriation to finance all-out aid to embattled democracies abroad under the lend-lease bill.
Amount of the initial outlay may be discussed Monday when the president talks with legislative chieftains. It has been placed variously as between $1,000,000,000 and $3,000,000,000.
MEASURE PASSED
His recommendations will not be made until after he has signed the measure which finally passed the senate last night by a vote of 60 to 31. After passage, senate leaders made a routine request for a conference with the house on changes which the upper chamber had made in the legislation.
Present plans of house leaders call for no such conference. They plan to bring up the revised measure on Tuesday and ask concurrence in senate changes. There were reports tonight that the administration is anxious to eliminate a revision, sponsored by Sen. Harry F. Byrd, D., Va., prohibiting use of regular army and navy appropriations under the aid bill. This ban was written into the measure with the consent of administration leaders who denied tonight that it is a subject of controversy. CONGRESSIONAL COMMENT
“I believed then and I believe now that the spending under the two programs should be separated.” said Majority Leader Alben W. Barkley, D., Ky. "The public will want to know—and it has a right to know-how much is being spent to help democracies abroad.”
S6l Bloom, D., N.Y., chairman of the house foreign affairs committee. said he saw no reason to send the bill to conference and planned to ask concurrence in senate changes.
