Senator Talks at Institute
Thomas Advocates United States of World
Patterned After American System of Government
by United Press
A United States of the world patterned after the American system of government was suggested tonight by Senator Elbert D. Thomas, D., Utah, at a step toward establishment of international order.
Speaking before the Institute of World Affairs, Sen. Thomas declared the united na- -—-

tions government, no matter what form it takes, must act for the united peoples.
“Such a form,” he said, “is the American federal system of government.
LOCAL CONTROL
“Our system is based on a local control for things of a local nature, and a general control for things of a general interest.”
He declared such a system could easily be expanded to international affairs.
“The new world order must be democratic in nature if the freedoms promised are to be attained,” he said.
He urged that a declaration, such as contained in the American con-

stitution, be made “so that this war, which is a peoples’ war against single will, shall result in a peoples’ peace.”
NEW GOVERNMENT
Se-nator Thomas said the new government, no matter what its form, must be a government of development and growth of the people, and not of exploitation of men, women and children.
Referring to the failure of the league of nations, he said the league was merely an association of'nations, with no place for the individual.
“Any world-wide organization must be based on the world as a unit,” he stressed.
“Want to save time at registration, Trojans?”
“Then consult your faculty adviser before leaving for Christmas vacation,” admonishes D* John D. Cooke, chairman of the scholarship committee of the university.
Dr. Cooke stated that “while war aims of the major will be widely discussed, professional objectives of the major will be in no way neglected.”
Students are solely responsible for fulfilling degree requirements as stated in the bulletin of their respective colleges and schools, according to Dr. Cooke, and should acquaint themselves with all changes in degree requirements.
Two-fold purpose of the conference system is to save time and plan next semester’s programs so that the administration can guage demand for different courses and act accordingly.
Second semester schedules and program work sheets may be obtained from the information office in the Administration building.
Plane Careens, Prof. Screams, Man Beams
What made an SC professor scream in a terrified manner and throw herself violently up against a wall yesterday? What made an SC coed clutch violently at the stalwart male who was near?
The culprit was the pilot of an army training plane who dove his plane down until he was less than . 100 feet above the ground yesterday morning.
The plane approached SC from Exposition park and raced above University avenue toward Old College at an altitude so low that many bystanders ran for cover, fearing the plan would cyash.
As the sound of the plane’s motors reached students in Prof. Florence Scott’s English literature class, several girls screamed as it became visible slightly above the tree tops. Dr. Scott put her hands above her head and instinctively threw herself against the wall.
After the plane passed and normalcy was resumed, the startled professor exclaimed that she recently had been reading a number of accounts of London bombings through which many of her English friends had suffered.

Gripman received his A.B. degree in June and then enrolled in the airforce in November, 1941. His home address is 6 Kenburton drive, Pleasant Ridge, Mich. At this university he was a member of Delta Chi, Knights, Squires, and Sigma Sigma and served as president of his sophomore and junior classes.
‘I’d like lo get back to the states as soon as possible, but I realize that the only way that will be possible is by a quick termination of the war,” he concludes.
Dr. von KleinSmid had previously written to the former student, sending greetings from the entire university.

Spies Captured by Censorship
WASHINGTON, Dec. 14— (U.E) — Attorney-General Francis J. Biddle and Director J. Edgar Hoover of the Federal Bureau of Investigation revealed today that censorship of mail between the* United States and Alaska led to seizure of enemy agents seeking to transmit vital military secrets.
Appearing before the senate judiciary committee, they enumerated a long list of instances in which censorship of Alaskan mail had blocked enemy efforts to dispatch in formation to axis countries via the northern route.
Biddle s4id this information concerned such secrets as the number, kind and distribution of American planes based in Alglska, the size of an Alaska-bound convoy, the strength and disposition of troops guarding certain Alaskan outposts, and the location of vital oil supplies.

Oh, Happy Day, Frat Houses to House Frats -
O. K. fellows, you can start unpacking now. The navy pre-flight is not going to turn you out on cold 28th street if they come to SC; you’re going to keep the same old leaky roof over your head as long as you are a fraternity brother.
To allay moving-day blues that have possessed some of the fraternity chieftains since word got around that the navy wrould be billeted in their houses, Dr. Francis M. Bacon, counselor of men, declared flatly that “We do not expect that the houses will be taken over.”
“There has never been any official discussion on the matter at all,” he said.
Musicians Plan World Salute
“Waltzing Matilda, waltzing Matilda;
He’ll come waltzing Matilda some
day.”
These strains from the famous marching sonp of the Anzacs will feature SC’s Christmas salute to men in the service of the United Nations, to be transmitted over international short wave by the office of war information.
Entitled “A Christmas Package to Warriors of the United Nations,” the program is co-produced by Dr. Max T. Krone, assistant director of the School of Music, and Lynn Randle, student in the School of Music.
“The program will be transcribed in Hancock auditorium tomorrow at noon,” said Miss Randle. She added that all students are invited to provide “proper background.”
Featured soloists on the program will be Michael Marsman, bass, and Lucille Peterson, soprano.
Organizations taking part in the presentation are the Madrigal singers, University of Southern California choir, and University of Southern California orchestra under the direction of Dr. Lucien Cailliet.
The orchestra will perform Dr. Cailliet’s original medley of Christmas music, “Christmas Fantasy.”
Narrator for the continuity will be John Crown, who will also present a piano solo, “Before the Dawn,” by Ross Agnew.
