Republican floor leader, Rep. Jertrand H. Snell, New York, took j 1 vantage of the democratic dilem- j ia for a little sally at Roosevelt [nd his democratic leaders.
Snell Makes Attack

In avoiding tax increases, democratic leaders returned to the original program on which they ap-jpeared agreed before they went Ito New York. Their idea was to save as much as possible through economies and count upon the [beer bill to do the rest until they jdctermine how the new income Itax rates which go into effect on (March 15 payment* work out.

Jonson Drama To Be Played At Troy Soon
English Play, ‘Every Man In His Humour,’ Is Picked by Group Tryouts To Be Held This Afternoon Open to All Trojans
“Every Man in His Humour,” a classical comedy by Ben Jonson, will be presented on the campus next semester as the first
■	of what is planned to be a series of annual production of literary dramas.
This announcement was made last night by Mrs. Laurabelle Dietrick. assistant professor of English, who is chairman of the composition committee of faculty members and Drama Shop leaders at work on the projected presentation.
Groups Cooperate
According to tentative arrangements outlined by the sponsors of the event, the English department will be responsible tor 'ne research necessary to produce the play in the historic manner.
Actual work of production, which includes the casting to be undertaken today, is delegated to Drama Shop, while costumes will be in the charge of fine arts students.
Casting Today
Norman Wright, president of Drama Shop, will conduct preliminary tryouts for parts in the play in Touchstone theater this afternoon, beginning at 3:15.
“Participation ln the drama is not restricted to members of Drama Shop,” "Wright said last night. “Every student on the campus, particularly those interested in either dramatics or literature or both, is urged to appear for a reading.”
Selection of the Jonson drama wras made, according to Mrs. Dietrick, jriiiCipally on account of its literary- and dramatic quality and its content of satire and comedy, which will make it appealing to modern audiences.
Historic Method
Research into the Elizabethan methods of production and staging will be under the direction of Miss Florence Scott of the English faculty. Miss Scott spent a sabbatical leave in England last year and witnessed several of the Oxford productions of old plays.
Direction of the play will be placed in the hands of a student experienced in dramatics, to be selected definitely by the committee at an early date.
Touchstone theater will probably be used for the presentation, which is expected to occupy two successive nights. In view' of the educational as well as the entertainment value of the play, Mrs. Dietrick said, an effort will be made to attract audiences from off campus as well as from the student body.
Drama Shop will curtail its scheduled program, Wright said, in order to concentrate on the effective showing of the classic play. “Every Man in His Humour” will be its next production after tie one-act plays listed for a week from Friday.

Four Days Remain To See Rare Volumes Shown By Dr. Vollbehr
By J. P. Rockwell
With only four days more to show the collection of rare old books and manuscripts, wrhich Dr.
I Otto F. Vollbehr is exhibiting in ! the art and lecture room of the i Edward L. Doheny Jr. Memorial library, is attracting large numbers of Southern California stu- i dents as well as visitors from all j ! over this part of the state.
Admitted by scholars and book i j lovers to be one of the finest collections of early printing in exis-i tence, Dr. Vollbehr’s collection in-! eludes many fine items which may be seen nowhere else in the world. He is showing several books printed before the discovery of America and which are the only copies in existence.
Piece de Risi3tance
The piece de resistance of the exhibit is the Lucas Cranach edition of the Martin Luther bible. Printed in 1544 by Hans Lufft while Luther was teaching at Wit-tenburg, this bible still remains one of the outstanding examples of the art of printing. Done on parchment with beautiful types, the three volumes are embellished with miniatures and decorations by Cranach. Authorities agree that these miniatures are some of the finest decorations ever put into a book. The book is also distinguished by a portrait of Luther by Cranach. Although modern research has discredited most of the portraits of Luther, scholars still hold that the Cranach portraits are authentic.
Dr. Vollbehr World Famous
Many students inspect the collection without knowing that a quiet, cultured yet enthusiastic gentleman who explains the differ, ent items to them is the world-famous owner of the books on display. Every day Dr. Vollbehr may be found in the lecture room telling students interesting stories about the volumes on display. Listening to him talk about the various incunabula in his excited voice with a slight German accent one gains new reverence for the volumes on exhibit.
Although Dr. Vollbehr Is primarily interested in incunabula and has supplied the Library of Congress and the Huntington library with their early books, he also is showing many other rare (Continued on page four)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10—(UE)— Threat of a general strike if labor does not get a five-day, 30-hour week was uttered before the sen-tae judiciary committee today by Arthur J. Lovell, representing the Brotherhood of Firemen and Locomotive engineers.
Lovell said labor was ready to employ “economic force” to obtain its ends. His testimony followed statements before a manufacturers’ sub-committee that present relief is “woeful” and inadequate.
The sub-committee heard waiter West, of New York, testify in behalf of the Association of social Workers that “the amounts on which we are asking people to live now cannot possibly provide the essentials of family and individual life.”
Previously Thomas Kennedy, representing the United Mine Workers told the committee the reconstruction finance corporation had given “s h a b b y” treatment to Pennsylvania’s applications for relief loans, and urged the need for federal funds in all mining districts Discussing possibility of a general labor strike, Lovell explained to the Judiciary committee that he was "reluctant to resort to strikes.” “I have been through a few of them,” he said. "It seems to me that in these enlightened times men ought to be able to agree or obtain legislation without resorting to what would amount to warfare.”
“What if this bill to compel the shorter week should be found unconstitutional?” asked Chairman Norris.
“The situation would become desperate,” Lovell replied. "Hundreds of thousands of railway workers are out of work, walking the streets, they are losing their homes.

Mussolini Favors Theories Of ‘Technology’ for World
Decision Ends Two-Yea* Battle on Property of New Building
Giving The University of Southern California a victory in its suit to condemn the property of Mrs. Nancy Robbins which holds up the development of Alumni Memorial park in front of the Edward L. Doheny Memorial library, a superior court jury yesterday dccided that the proprietor must sell her land to the university for $22,500.
Superior Judge Guy F. Bush, in whose court the suit was being tried, had previously ruled that the university has a legal right I to condemn property needed in j its expansion program. In making ; this ruling Judge Bush upheld tha amendment to the California law of the right of eminent domain i which gives private institutions j operating without profit for the public good the right to condemn land needed for improvements.
Two Year Fight
Yesterday’s victory of Southern California marked the climax of a two year fight in which the university sought to avoid paying tha price of $45,000, which Mrs. Robbins demanded for her property. When negotiations were flrst started to acquire the land, Mrs. Robbins asked $50,000. Later she reduced the price to $45,000. At on© time administration officials offered to pay $32,500 for the piece of land.
Although at one time Mrs. Robbins threatened to carry the suit to the supreme court to test tho contitutionality of the California law of eminent domain, her plana after the decision of the jury yesterday have not been revealed. Mrs. Robbins has 30 days ia which to appeal the case.
The victory of Southern California yesterday marks the last step in plans to provide a beautiful park setting for the new Doheny Memorial library. The land around the library, which was given to the university by the General A-lumni association, will soon be entirely landscaped to form a quadrangle between the library and Bovard Administration building. Series of Arguments
The decision of the jury came after a series of arguments between attorneys representing the university and Mrs. Robbins. Lawyers for Mrs. Robbins contended that the university had no legal right to condemn her lot, on Vbich stand three small houses and a drug store. Judge Bush overruled this point.
In seeking to condemn the pr<v perty, Vincent Morgan, represent ing the university, pointed out that the buildings on Mrs. Rob* bins land mar the approach to the new library. Yesterday morning Judge Bush and the jury made a trip out to the campus to inspect the property.
Charles E. Patterson, real estate expert put on the witness stand by the university, testified that Mrs. Robbins’ property was wortli $17,500.
This is the second suit th the university has wron to coi demn land marring the beauty ol its buildings. Last year a ju condemned the house which to merly stood in front of its sium.

ROME, Jan. 10.—(HE)—Premier Benito Mussolini came out today on the side of technology as opposed to the new- theory of "technocracy” as one avenue looking to a solution of the world’s economic distress.
"Technology, yes,” Mussolini said in a talk with Rabbi Abba Hellel Silver, of Cleveland, O., “but technocracy, no.” He added: “Technology is needed because it means progress—great economic progress. But technocracy only solves part of mans problems. It uoes not embrace the whole of man with all the attributes of mankind.
“The highest human values after all are spiritual, and tech-
nocracy does not embrace the artistic, social, or spiritual aims of mankind.”
Rabbi Silver stud he was astonished at Mussolini’s grasp of the subject of technocracy, which is hardly known in Europe, Mussolini, he says, told him.
“We try under Fascism for a disciplined state and coordinate all the state’s activities. The result we strive for is to give the greatest scope for man’s expression of himself in the arts, sciences, and production.
“You ask me if central planning can succeed in the United States. I say yes, providing you find the man for it. My philosophy is that the man is necessary.”
