SHOW PROMISED
The San Diego club, which captured the league title two weeks ago in the play-off% series by defeating the Bakersfield Oilers, is reportedly one of the stroftgest amateur hockey teams in the country. The three times that the San Diego players have met the Trojans, however, have been "knock, down, drag , out” affairs, and tonight’s contest promises to be no exception.
Arnold Eddy, manager of the Tro-I jan sextet and who is helping direct the charity game, asserted:
"The squad is in the best shape ; it has been this season and we’ll I give the crowd a real show.” TOUGAS PLAYS
Last season’s scoring ace, Harry Black, who has seen no action since he was injured in one of the early matches, will throw in the puck to begin this evening’s fray at the Westwood arena. He will not, contrary to advance notice, be in the hneup. Dick Tougas, who has played only one game this season will, however, help bolster the Cardinal and Gold squad.
A second game will be played on the Skyhawks’ home ice tomorrow night. The proceeds of that tilt will go to navy relief.

Japs Invade Panay Island in Philippines
Nipponese Prepare to Exploit Sugar,
Says War Department
WASHINGTON, Apr. 16—(U.R)— The Japanese, apparently striving now to exploit the riches of the Philippines, today invaded the important sugar-producing island of Panay.
The war department revealed in a late communique that Jap troops from eight transports landed on the central Philippine island early :his morning under the protective lire of warships and aircraft.
Defending forces were “in contact” with the invaders but no details of the fighting were available immediately.
Panay lies north of the island of Cebu which was invaded last Friday by 12,000 Jap troops who are facing “fierce” resistance from the greatly outnumbered defenders. It is ons of the richest islands in the archipelago and is separated from Cebu by another important sugar-producing island—Negros.
Meanwhile, the navy announced the loss of the 840-ton minesweeper Finch a few days ago in the nonstop bombing of Corregidor fortress.
Beleaguered Corregidor itself unleashed another devastating attack on Nipponese troop concentrations and truck columns on fallen Bataan peninsula. Its big guns also pounded enemy batteries on Cavite and Bataan, “resulting in a noticeable decrease in enemy artillery fire during the past 30 hours.”

WASHINGTON, Apr. 16— (U.P)— Pro-German Pierre Laval will not succeed in any middle-of-the-road course with the United States simply for the purpose of deluding the French people while he deliver? France to Adolf Hitler, a highly authoritative source said tonight.
In effect, this would amount to a repudiation of Laval as the true leader of the French people even though the swarthy axis collaborationist now heads the Vichy government.
The source—of unquestioned integrity—made it clear that the United States will refuse to accord to the Laval regime the same treatment it gave to the Vichy government when Marshal Henri Philippe Petain was its leader, unless Laval abandons his pro-axis ambitions, which is unlikely.
It was not made clear precisely what the new United States policy will be, but a statement of policy will be made public immediately after Laval completes the organization of his cabinet—now scheduled for tomorrow.
The source predicted that soon after Laval takes formal control he will attempt—by force and perhaps through use of the French fleet—
! to recapture French possessions occupied by Free French forces and the British.
It also was predicted that, since Laval's whole career is based on
PIERRE LAVAL—directs pro-German French regime following government shakeup.
a German victory, he will do everything possible to force the French people to contribute to a German victory—and may go to the extent of purging the French army and navy and officialdom of those opposed to his collaborationst policies.
On the basis of events of the past few days, it now appears the United
States has definitely abandoned its kid glove treatment of Vichy and will become increasingly firm, pursuing, meanwhile, a course of reassurance to the French people.
French Premier Selects Cabinet
VICHY, Apr. 16—(U.E)—Pierre Laval, the Franco-German collaborationist, mapped out a new government today, with himself as premier, wrhile police guarded him from a huge crowd in the streets and a fresh wave of terrorism, including a German troop train derailment that killed 44 persons, swept through occupied France.
His mind apparently made up on the composition of his new cabinet, Laval arrived from German-occupied Paris shortly after noon and was escorted, under heavy guard, into conferences with Chief of State Marshal Philippe Petain and Vice Admiral Jean Darlan. It was announced tonight that the council of ministers—the ruling government body—will meet for the last time tomorrow prior to the formation of a new regime.
Debaters Leave for Utah Contest
With the prospect of a trip to South America this summer as a goal, John Baird and George Grover, members of the SC debate squad who were the winners of the district extempore-discussion contest held Mar. 20, will leave tomorrow for Salt Lake City to participate in the regional competition of the national extempore-discussion contest on inter-American affairs on Monday and Tuesday.
Orators who wiil participate in the regional meet will speak on the topics assigned them dealing with the general subject of “How We Can Best Implement the Good Neighbor Policy.”
Winners of the seven regional contests, held in different parts of the country, will be given a trip to Washington, D. C., expenses paid, to participate i nthe finals, May 14. A specially conducted tour of South America will be the reward for all of the final contestants, war conditions permitting.
Crown Prince Olav Reveals Country's Stand on Nazis
by Sam Roeca
Dressed in the braided-blue uniform of a general, Crown Prince Olav of Norway last night during an interview revealed himself to oe a royal prince in every sense of the wor£. Assembled at the Biltmore hotel, reporters
were impressed by the manner in which he combined geniality with dignity, eagerly supplying answers to a variety of questions pertinent to the welfare of his war-plundered homeland.
‘Men, women ,and children of Norway,” he said, “regard the nazi occupation force with extreme distaste, and, despite the efforts of German propagandistic technicians, not more than 2 per cent of our people have been converted to a belief in Hitler’s ideology."
EDUCATION CONTINUES
When questioned about nazi attempts to control Norway’s educational program, he smiled intently, saying, ‘ Slight inroads have been made among the youth, but universities still operate under the direction of the state, and Germany will not be able to bring professors under her control.” Children from the ages of 10 to 18 are forced to attend nazi schools, and attempts have been made to organize them into Unghirden, German youth army.
Norway, he explained, has instituted measures to speed up the educational program of universities so that trained men and women may fight for a restoration of homr ruie.
Though great numbers of students withdrew from college after the German invasion to enlist for air

Students, Faculty to Hear Address by Royal Ruler
When Crown Prince Olav speaks this morning in Bovard auditorium on “Norway’s Contributions in the War and Her Position in the Present Day,” he will outline his country’s plans to continue its existance, despite the fact that it is suffering today under the
- iron heel of the nazi powers. He
plans to discuss among other things the feelings of confidence, optimism, and congeniality of the average Norwegian in his talk before the student body and board of trustees.
Their Royal Highnesses. Prince Olav and Princess Martha, were invited to return to SC for a second visit by President Rufus B. von KieinSmid. They were presented honorary degrees of doctor of law when they were guests of Troy in 1939. President von KieinSmid will preside at today's assembly. REVEALS ESCAPE Last night in his press interview the crown prince revealed that he and his father. King Haakon, narrowly escaped death in April. 1940, shortly after the invasion of Norway, when the two royal rulers were forced to flee the country. The prince spoke dramatically of the hour and one-half bombing that he and his father endured in Nyborg-sund, Norway, when the house in which they were concealed was riddled with machine gun bullets and bombs hurled by eight German stu-kas.

In reviewing his address for today, Prince Olav stated that despite the strictly enforced nazi penalty of death imposed upon attempted escape from Norway, there is & steady stream of whole Norwegian families across the North sea to England. Many thousands of these fugitives, he said, have joined Britain’s forces and at the present time are fighting against their country’s invaders.

B. Ton KieinSmid. President. WASHINGTON, Apr. 16— (U.P)— Pro-German Pierre Laval will not succeed in any middle-of-the-road course with the United States simply for the purpose of deluding the French people while he deliver? France to Adolf Hitler, a highly authoritative source said tonight. In effect, this would amount to a repudiation of Laval as the true leader of the French people even though the swarthy axis collaborationist now heads the Vichy government. The source—of unquestioned integrity—made it clear that the United States will refuse to accord to the Laval regime the same treatment it gave to the Vichy government when Marshal Henri Philippe Petain was its leader, unless Laval abandons his pro-axis ambitions, which is unlikely. It was not made clear precisely what the new United States policy will be, but a statement of policy will be made public immediately after Laval completes the organization of his cabinet—now scheduled for tomorrow. The source predicted that soon after Laval takes formal control he will attempt—by force and perhaps through use of the French fleet— ! to recapture French possessions occupied by Free French forces and the British. It also was predicted that, since Laval's whole career is based on PIERRE LAVAL—directs pro-German French regime following government shakeup. a German victory, he will do everything possible to force the French people to contribute to a German victory—and may go to the extent of purging the French army and navy and officialdom of those opposed to his collaborationst policies. On the basis of events of the past few days, it now appears the United States has definitely abandoned its kid glove treatment of Vichy and will become increasingly firm, pursuing, meanwhile, a course of reassurance to the French people. French Premier Selects Cabinet VICHY, Apr. 16—(U.E)—Pierre Laval, the Franco-German collaborationist, mapped out a new government today, with himself as premier, wrhile police guarded him from a huge crowd in the streets and a fresh wave of terrorism, including a German troop train derailment that killed 44 persons, swept through occupied France. His mind apparently made up on the composition of his new cabinet, Laval arrived from German-occupied Paris shortly after noon and was escorted, under heavy guard, into conferences with Chief of State Marshal Philippe Petain and Vice Admiral Jean Darlan. It was announced tonight that the council of ministers—the ruling government body—will meet for the last time tomorrow prior to the formation of a new regime. Debaters Leave for Utah Contest With the prospect of a trip to South America this summer as a goal, John Baird and George Grover, members of the SC debate squad who were the winners of the district extempore-discussion contest held Mar. 20, will leave tomorrow for Salt Lake City to participate in the regional competition of the national extempore-discussion contest on inter-American affairs on Monday and Tuesday. Orators who wiil participate in the regional meet will speak on the topics assigned them dealing with the general subject of “How We Can Best Implement the Good Neighbor Policy.” Winners of the seven regional contests, held in different parts of the country, will be given a trip to Washington, D. C., expenses paid, to participate i nthe finals, May 14. A specially conducted tour of South America will be the reward for all of the final contestants, war conditions permitting. Crown Prince Olav Reveals Country's Stand on Nazis by Sam Roeca Dressed in the braided-blue uniform of a general, Crown Prince Olav of Norway last night during an interview revealed himself to oe a royal prince in every sense of the wor£. Assembled at the Biltmore hotel, reporters were impressed by the manner in which he combined geniality with dignity, eagerly supplying answers to a variety of questions pertinent to the welfare of his war-plundered homeland. ‘Men, women ,and children of Norway,” he said, “regard the nazi occupation force with extreme distaste, and, despite the efforts of German propagandistic technicians, not more than 2 per cent of our people have been converted to a belief in Hitler’s ideology." EDUCATION CONTINUES When questioned about nazi attempts to control Norway’s educational program, he smiled intently, saying, ‘ Slight inroads have been made among the youth, but universities still operate under the direction of the state, and Germany will not be able to bring professors under her control.” Children from the ages of 10 to 18 are forced to attend nazi schools, and attempts have been made to organize them into Unghirden, German youth army. Norway, he explained, has instituted measures to speed up the educational program of universities so that trained men and women may fight for a restoration of homr ruie.

He plans to discuss among other things the feelings of confidence, optimism, and congeniality of the average Norwegian in his talk before the student body and board of trustees. Their Royal Highnesses. Prince Olav and Princess Martha, were invited to return to SC for a second visit by President Rufus B. von KieinSmid. They were presented honorary degrees of doctor of law when they were guests of Troy in 1939. President von KieinSmid will preside at today's assembly. REVEALS ESCAPE Last night in his press interview the crown prince revealed that he and his father. King Haakon, narrowly escaped death in April. 1940, shortly after the invasion of Norway, when the two royal rulers were forced to flee the country. The prince spoke dramatically of the hour and one-half bombing that he and his father endured in Nyborg-sund, Norway, when the house in which they were concealed was riddled with machine gun bullets and bombs hurled by eight German stu-kas. have maintained a high morale.

Fugitive Fowl Finally Fettered Have you lost a 112-year-old love bird lately? If you have, the bird may be claimed in the psychology department where it took up temporary residence after being “captured” by psychology instructors yesterday following a long chase. Believed to be a fugitive from some domestic cage, the bird flew into the tower of Bovard auditorium yesterday morning. After a long and hot pursuit the wandering fowl became exhausted and gave up the struggle. president; Claire Laub, Alpha Chi Omega, secretary'; and Doris Avis, assistant and writer, and film cut-Kappa Delta, treasurer. ‘ ter.
