Scientific Progress Nil As Rabbits Refuse To Sneeze
ROCHESTER. Minn., Jan. 18.— j Ol—Noted physicians hovered around a small cage in the Mayo brothers clinic today, waiting for a rabbit to sneeze.
BOGOTA, Colombia, Jan. 18.— 0J.P)—The Colombian government, responding today to a League of [ Nations warning for Colombia and Peru to abide by league covenants in the Leticia dispute, said that the government was determined to restore “public order in a portion of territory indisputably Colombian.”
“The Colombian forces,” the note said, “are going to exercise their duties within their own territory. They will do this without disturbing international peace in the slightest if the government of Peru does not attempt to stop them by force. If our forces are obliged to repel any unjust aggression, it will be the aggressor who will violate the league pact and not Colombia, w'ho has always considered that pact one of the most sacred and honorable international agreements."
A Colombian naval expedition is now enroute up the Amazon river to the small town of Leticia, which Peruvians seized from

This conference somewhat overshadows the talks Roosevelt will have with his party congressional leaders tomorrow and tomorrow night. Soon after he arrives in Washington at four o’clock Democratic leaders will start their trek to liis hotel suite to seek advice on such matters as farm relief, beer legislation and 18th amendment repeal, now pending in the senate and measures to balance the budget.
The leaders wrill tell him an extra session of congress will be necessary to put through this program because of the likely exercise of the veto power hy President Hoover to stop enactment of some of the measures. Democratic ' leaders today formally postponed tax legislation to balance the budget until the extra session. They will advise Roosevelt on the best date to call it, probably April 10 or 17.
Out of the foreign affairs discussions at the White house is likely to come some agreement for handling the war debt problem on which the president and president-elect were unable to agree at their earlier meeting. A possible development is a plan for the present administration to begin negotiations with the debtor nations along lines approved by Roosevelt. President Hoover, it is understood, may agree to drop his proposal for a commission to handle the problem.
Stimson and Roosevelt conferred recently on the debt problem, with indications they reached a basis for negotiations.

Suspicions naturally arose that mysterious organisms had something to do with Daisy's sneezing.
Some of the organisms were removed and injected into the rabbits.
The question was: “Will the rabbits start sneezing too?”
If, after sufficient time is allowed, none of the rabbits sneezes, then of course the whole experiment is a failure and the world may never know what caused Daisy to sneeze approximately 30,-000 times from one Monday night te the next.
Plans are being completed for the second regular manuscript contest sponsored by the Quill club, in its efforts to discover new talent and to procure new members for the organization.
The contest will occur in the first two weeks of the coming semester, and will be open to all university students except first semester freshmen.
According to DeWitt Miller, president, it has been found best to hold these contests at the beginning of each semester, instead of scattering them through the year. In this way students will be actively engaged in the affairs of the club for a longer period of time.
Final rules for the contest will be announced in the first issues of the Daily Trojan next semester. How'ever, they probably will conform with the rules of the previous contests, which are: manuscript# must be typed double spaced on regulation sized typing paper: nom de plume, or pen name, must be on the mas-The last student assembly of the terpiece, accompanied by the au-semester will be held this morn- j thor’s real name in an envelope,

Former India Residents Will Speak at Dinner Saturday Night
Two men, notably qualified by their experience to speak on Hindu life and problems, will discuss India at the dinner Jan. 21 of the Council on International Relations. Annual election of officers w'ill comprise the business of the evening. The dinner will be held at the Dawwese-Mallard tea room, 2228 West Seventh street, opposite Westlake park, at 6:15.

Governor’s Son Admits Firm’s Profits From State Contract
SACRAMENTO, Cal., Jan. 18.— (U.E)—A J3500 commission on a state contract for public liability insurance was “split” between the firm of Rolph, Landis and Ellis and six “agents,” including members of the state legislature, James Rolph III, admitted before the senate investigation committee today.
This statement was the highlight of the committee session which marked the opening of an investigation into charges that the firm of Rolph, Landis and Ellis, of which James Rolph III, the son of Governor James Rolph, is a member, profited by asserted “political patronage.”
Early in the session TtoTph testified he obtained his interest in the San Francisco insurance firm from his father, James Rolph, Jr., “for $10 and other considera-tions.’’'"’'
“What do j'ou mean other considerations?’ ” Downey asked.
“Love and affection between /ather and son, I guess,” Rolph answered.

England Forgets Cares As Greyhound Season Begins
Undefeated Uclan Frosh Favored To Conquer Twogood’s Men
By Tern Lawless
Clashing in the first of a three game -series for Uie city basketball championship, the league j leading Trojans will tangle with the powerful U.C.L.A. Bruins Saturday night in what promises to be ne of the hottest court battles of the season. The fracas is scheduled to start at 8 p.m.
In the preliminary to the fear ture battle the frosh quintets of the two schools will play for the yearling title. The unbeaten Bruin Cubs are slight favorites over the Trobabes, who have lost to L.A.J.C. while winning four contests against southern California jaysee squads.
Sam Barry’s Cardinal and Gold five will be out to revenge last year’s duo of defeats which kept the Trojans from a clear title to the conference crown and threw them into a single game playoff with the California Bears. S.C., after taking three out of four from the northerners in regular season play, lost a torrid battle in the final encounter at Berkeley.
The Barrymen will also tx* seeking a head start toward evening the series count, the proteges of Caddy Works having taken three series from Troy since the Bruins joined the conference in 1928.
In their league debut the West-wooders annexed two out of three from the Trojans under Leo Callaad, although S.C. won the sectional and coast titles. The fcillowing year Troy was victorious twice but this series had no bearing on the race.
In each of the years after thia the results of series had a direct bearing on the title scramble, with the Trojans making a clean sweep of the three set-tos with the Bruins as well as taking the coast crown in 1930, their first year under Sam Barry.
In 1931 and again last year,
with the Troy men needing two of the three battles to finish on top of the conference heap, the Uclans, led by Dick Linthicum, all-American forward, captured the deciding tilt in each series to push S.C. from the top rung.
This season four of the 1932 starting lineup have returned and with a host of stellar sophomores form a quintet of great potential ability. The eligibility of Lee Guttero. last year Spartan player, has greatly bolstered Barry's squad.

College of Music Recital at Noon
LONDON, Jan. 18—(U.P)—Weighty matters of world politics have been forgotten for the moment by this nation in the uproar that has arisen over the question of betting on greyhounds.
Forty-six million Britons, in whom the gaming instinct has always been traditionally strong, are wrestling mightily with the issue, “why is it right to bet on a horse and wrong to bet on a dog?"
The royal commission on lotteries and betting, set up to determine whether the national gambling instinct was running amuck, has decided that horse racing and all betting thereon is all right but that dog racing and its incumbent betting, constitutes “a grave social menace.”
For centuries horse racing has been to the average Briton what the stock market, until recently, was to the United States—the big
national outlet for a population’s gambling urge. In scarcely more than a year or two, however, greyhound tracks in Great Britain have had such a mushroom growth that there are nearly 200 tracks scattered over the country, taking in millions of pounds a year in bets and amassing tremendous profits for their promoters.
Alongside of this development there has sprung up a new type of workingman’s club. It is called a “tot” club, because it operates a totalizator of pari-mutuel machine through which its members bet on the races. Because bets may be as low as a shilling, and because the membership fee is often as low as a penny, the “tot" clubs have attracted thousands of British men, both unemployed and otherwise, who spend their leisure time betting on races.
With the “Music of George Washington” as its theme, the community class, under the supervision of Prof. Alexander Stewart, of the College of Music will present piano, vocal, and orchestral numbers at the College of Music weekly recital to be held .today at 12:40 o’clock in the College of Music recital hall.
A group song, “God Save the King,” directed by Robert Biller; “Musical Instrument,” talk by Claudia Miller; violin solo, Louise Trammel; “Early Concerts,” talk by Luella Hamilton, and orchestral numbers, directed by Kenneth Winstead, constitute the first part of the program.
“Old Hundred," directed by Mar-4ha Hoard and “Yankee Doodle,’ directed by William Matchan, will be sung by the audience. A bassoon solo, played by Bill Leedke. is to be followed by "Early Composers of Songs,” a talk by Alice Orocchi. Marjorie Cameron will give as her talk, “Washington Marches On.”
