jobs threatened fo f b|j j j f by restrictions	9
SACRAMENTO, Dec. 27 —(U.R) —Women taxicab drivers and bus and street car operators will shortly become only a wariime memory because of the difficulty of complying with state restrictions on working conditions in fhese jobs, the Division of Industrial Welfare indicated today in a report to the governor’s council.
While highly commending the record of women who took such jobs during the war and helped overcome the serious manpower shortage in the transportation industry, the division stated that uncertainties in operational schedules make it extremely difficult to comply with laws governing the hours and working conditions of women in this industry.
The order prohibiting the operation of taxicabs by women after 8 p.m., limiting, weights they may lift to 25 pounds, and requiring a 30-minute meal period were some of the restrictions cited as reasons for replacing them with men. Airlines and other transportation services would be affected.
Many companies, while speaking well of the record of their women employes, say that in many Instances the work is too hazardous or heavy for them.
At this assembly, according to Phil Burton, chairman, the queen will be crowned and, together with her four attendants, presented to the audience.
Before this presentation takes place, however, a contest will be

Atomic control agreement met by Big Three
Great Britain, U.S.,
Russia reach accord,
Byrnes discloses
MOSCOW. Dec. 27 — (lT.P) — The United States, Great Britain and Russia have agreed to establish a commission for global control of atomic energy, thus reaching accord on perhaps the most delicate problem threatening world harmony, U.
S. Secretary of State James F.
Byrnes disclosed today.
Byrnes made his announcement at the end of the 12-day conference of the Big Three foreig# ministers but in advance of an official statement on conference accomplishments. He indicated that the secret mechanics of the atom bomb remained the property of the United States, Great Britain, and Canada.
Another major accomplishment of the conference was creation of “close relations” among the Big Three powers, Byrnes said at his press conference. This, he believed, would pave the way for future agreements on outstanding problems.
(Washington reports said the foreign ministers also agreed to establish a four-power control council for Japan, with China as the. fourth member, and a four-power trusteeship over Korea for five years.)
Haggard from a 13 and a half hour final meeting with his colleagues, Byrnes talked to the correspondents just before his departure for the United States. *
He emphasized that the atomic agreement, contains no secret provisions to supply Russia with the formula for the atomic bomb.
“There is not any agreement on any subject which Is not covered by the communique,” he said. “I say this because some people are always anxious about secret agreements. When you read the communique item regarding atomic energy, you will see that there was not any other phase discussed.
“Outside of matters covered in the communique, the foreign ministers discussed a number of other matters and by an exchange of views clarified subjects for the three governments so it will be easier for them to secure action in the future.
Vying for top vocal honors in the 18th annual AWS Songfest tonight at 7 in Bovard auditorium, seventeen sororities and four women's dormitories will each enter nine members, one, group of which will be crowned singing stars of the campus for the year.
Each organization will be represented by nine of its members with the sweetest vocal cords, who will sing one sorority or service song and one fraternity song.
Three prizes will be awarded to the winners selected by three anonymous faculty judges who will confer during intermission, when the last dulcet note has died down, to decidy which group will receive the cup, to have and hold, until the next songfest. Selection of the winner will be made on the basis of presentation, arrangement,
’ quality, diction, and manner of presentation.
On the rotating trophy, the name of the winning group will be en-! graved, together with the date of its triumph, thus preserving for pos-

the 10 veterans chosen from among those on campus will be the happy cscorts of the gorgeous young ladies.
The stage will be arranged so that the veterans may be seen by the audience, but not by the five girls. The girls will be hidden by a screen from their prospective dates. • Two men will compete for each girl, giving forth with a fast line of chatter over an inter-mike exchange, attempting to crowd all of their charm into a one-minute campaign. The girls must make their decisions without ever having seen the men in question.
Following the assembly the five couples will be feted at a famous Hollywood night spot, all expenses to be paid by,Blue Key.
Radio and motion picture stars will share the spotlight with the queen and her attendants during the remainder of the assembly. The girls will also reign over the Blue Key dig Friday and the UCLA basketball game Saturday.
Members of the student body will choose the queen on Jan. 8 and 9 in a special election. The Daily Trojan will publish pictures of the candidates during these days so that voters may identify their favorites. Activity tickets must be presented when obtaining ballots.
Those chosen will be honored by having their names engraved on the large trophy designated for this purpose. The winners will also be presented with individual awards.

McNarney attacks French occupation
FRANKFURT, Germany, Dec. 27. —(U.P)—Gen. Joseph T. McNarney, American commander in Europe, today accused the French of impeding German recovery by their refusal to give up the present four-power system of governing Germany.
McNarney’s report to Washington for November said that the French attitude was creating an increasingly difficult problem and holding Germany’s economy below its minimum level.
The French have refused to approve the American, British and Russian plans to treat Germany as a single unit until the allies decide on French demands for separation of the Ruhr and Rhineland from an central German government.
Ted chalks up keyboard t.d.
Pajama clad Trojans flocked to Bovard auditorium last night for the Pajamerino rally which featured Alvino Rey and his orchestra, Diana Lynn, Paramount star, Dickee Love, Universal studio’s tap dancing star, and Ted Tannehill, Troy’s piano-playing football star.
Alvino Rey opened the program with the SC Fight song and continued with a host of others including “Back Home in Alabama” which Trojans recognized as “Back Home in Indiana.”
The surprise of the evening was Ted Tannehill who thrilled Trojans with his version of “Chopsticks” by request,' Begin the Beguine and Chopin’s Fantasy Impromptu. Coach Jeff Cravath followed Tannehill with a stirring address . to the audience praising the School of Music for the beautiful strains that can be heard out on the football field.
The members of the football team were introduced by Terry Ragan and lined up on the stage for stray Alabama fans to gaze at.
Appropriately dressed in pajama tops, the Trojan Band marched on the stage for a program of songs and yells which followed. Yell leaders Bill Stevenson and Jerry Hoytt sported bright pajama tops and Terry Nelson appeared in a striped nightshirt.
Joe Holt was master of ceremonies.

With an audience well over the million mark the Trojan band, 110 strong, will march in the first Tournament of Roses Parade since 1940 when it represents SC on New Year’s Day.
Under the supervision of BUI Gould, director, the band will be second in the parade, led by the Official Tournament of Roses band. Twenty other musical contingents will also be on hand.
Radio pick-ups from seven broadcasting systems will send the strains of “Fight On,” “Trojan Marching Song,” “Let’s Go Trojans,” “Song of Troy,” and “Cardinal and Gold” from coast to-coast.
Larry Harmon, Jack Watson, and Kenneth Roberts, drum majors, will strut before newsreel cameramen, j as they lead the SC contingent.
The band will also take part in a pre-game ceremony at the Bowl, when they join the Official Tournament of Roses band in the playing of the “Star Spangled Banner,” under the direction of Gould.
During the half time they will present ten minutes of stunts in connection with .the rooting section. Special features and characters tvpifjing the new year will also be given.
Practicing under flood lights on Bovard field every Wednesday night for the past few weeks, the band will hold its final rehearsal (Continued on Page 4)

Chairman Bernice Hage declares an “evening of worthwhile entertainment” is in store for the anticipated large audience at one of the most popular events of the university year.”
Assuming the color of a national convention, the front sections of
Bovard, reserved for the singers, will sport large signs emblazoned with names of organizations at each row.
While the judges ponder their decision during intermission, pianist Roy Barnes of El Toro, will entertain the assembly with "The Man I Loved,” “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes,” Chopin’s "Polonaise,” “Malaguena,” and a composition of his own, “I’ll Love You Always.”

Mr. Dallin, born in Russia himself, is known as one of the foremost analysts of the true aims of Russia, and their effects upon world trends. His books deal with the behind-the-scenes forces, the geography and cidture of the many different lands and people

people, for good or ill.
Dallin, as a student at the University of St. Petersburg during the Czarist regime, was arrested and imprisoned for participation in an underground organization. After two years, he escaped to Germany, and lived .there from 1911 to 1917.
Ten days after the revolution in March, 1917, David Dailin returned to Russia and was elected to the Moscow Soviet. He served as an opposition deputy from 1918 to 1921, with another interlude of arrest, this time by the Sonet authorities in 1920.
In 1922, he escaped arrest again by fleeing to Germany. Until he arrived in New York, he travelled widely throughout Europe living for short periods in Paris, Stockholm, Warsaw, Copenhagen and London. He became well known among European circles as a lecturer on political and economic questions, dealing mainly with Russia. His first two books were published in Berlin.
In the United States, Mr. Dallin wrote four more books. Three of these will be interpreted by Mr. Polizoides.
Britain seeks Franco s fall
LONDON, Dec. 27—(U.P)—Britain is eager to bring about the overthrow of Generalissimo Francisco Franco’s regime in Spain but is not prepared to recognize the leftist republican exile government of Jose Giral Y Pereira because it is too narrow, authoritative diplomatic sources said today.
These quarters said that the Giral government must be extended to a still broader basis before it is eligible to bid for British recognition. Britain, however, is apparently reluctant to rebuff the Giral government publicly by announcing this stand.
Delayed checks to be remedied
Veterans may look forward to the elimination of long delays in the arrival of their subsistance checks within the next few weeks, stated Charles H. Martin, contact man for the veterans administration of Los Angeles.
Gen. Omar Bradley has sent word to all veterans administration centers to see if .the delay in getting checks to veterans can be eliminated, according to Martin.
The veterans administration has been trying to check on the marital status of veterans before starting the subsistance pay to the students.
“This procedure has resulted in great delay causing much inconvenience to the veterans. General Bradley is right in thinking that such delays are unnecessary. After all, when GIs apply for schooling, they sign a statement that would make the men subject to a $2000 fine or imprisonment or both if they lie about their marital status.
“I think that snch a provision is enough to make any ex-serviceman think twice before trying to outsmart the government. At any rate, it is safe to say that the number of GIs that would try that kind of a trick is almost nil.
I
“There will probably be some delays, even after General Bradley's speed-up idea is put into practice, but that is to be expected when thousands of veterans have to be sent checks.
“Many veterans are not settled and their addresses change often. It takes a little time to know just where to send the subsistance pay.”
After an absence of almost two years, the “Seahorse.” a military yearbook, will appear on campus in the early part of 1946.
Sponsored by the Fighting Top, NROTC social organization, the annual is scheduled to appear about Feb. 20. and will be sold to trainees for $1 a copy. Co-editors of this edition are John Moore and Ray Suttles.
“Seahorse” was chosen as the name of the annual by NROTC trainees by popular vote several years ago after which a special figure was designed by Walt Disney as an emblem.
This edition is to be dedicated to Capt. Reed M. Fawell, retired former commanding officer of the SC unit.
“Plans have been made for 64 pages this year including pictures of all the graduating NROTC trainees, the various commanding and executive officers, and activities of the members of the unit,” stated Suttles. “There will be a special feature page on the Rose Bowl and trainees participating. Also, this edition will contain special sections for the NROTC beauty queen, trainee ‘sweetheart,’ sport section, ring-dance, digs, and dances,” Suttles continued.
There will be a limited number of copies of the “Seahorse” available for the public.
NROTC trainees are urged to turn in all of their pictures of the NROTC "beauty queen,” pictures taken at the various digs and dances, sporting event pictures, and any other pictures they wish to be published in the yearbook to Suttles as soon as possible.
Flu discontinues all P.E. classes
With the flu epidemic now at its peak on the SC campus, all active physical education classes have been ordered discontinued until Jan. 2.
A noticeable increase in flu cases during the holiday season, and especially after vacation, prompted department officials to issue an order authorizing the continuance of lecture and major classes only.
Anyone possessing flu symptoms should report immediately to Miss Margaret K. McMorrow, R. N., campus nurse, at the health office in the Physical Education building.
SC offers short courses to vets
Short-term University College courses, beginning Wednesday, are being offered to veterans who arrived too late for the regular classes that began Nov. 1.
The eight-week term will include economics, education, chemistry, civil engineering, history, and general studies. It is open only to veterans. Servicemen on terminal leave may arrange with the comp-| troller to pay their own expenses until eligible for government aid, after which the expense will be pro-rated.
Registration, which began Dec. 17, will continue through Jan. 5. and is conducted at University College, 253 Administration from 8:30 to 9 p.m Monday through Friday, and from 8:30 to 12:30 Saturday morning.
Veterans may choose, any course from a list including accounting $0, chemistry laL. mathematics la and 3, trade and transportation 45, civil engineering, economics 100, English la and lb, and history 77.
All who plan to enter the course must present a certificate of eligibility from the veterans’ administration office, 1041 South Broadway.
C.l. students to receive aid
Two emergency services are being offered to veterans by the Inter-fraternity Mothers club, according to Mrs. Robert E. Vivian, president of the group.
Special emergency loans are being granted to those whose government check is late in arriving or who seek financial aid because of other circumstances The loans are to be returned in 30 to 60 days, with no interest rate.
Veterans need only to contact the office of Dr. Carl Hancey, dean of men, where the loan will be approved. From there they will be sent to the comptroller’s office, where a special fund is kept, to receive immediate help.
The “clothes closet” is another aid being offered' by the organization.
“Since many men just out of the service have found that their civilian clothes no longer fit, or for some reason or another have no ‘civies,’ the Mothers club believes it will be a real service to give them an opportunity to get good-looking, clean clothes,” stated Mrs. Vivian. “Therefore we have collected a ‘closet-full’ for them.”
Located in Dean Hancey's office, the clothes may be had for a nominal charge, the profit of which will go to the emergency loan fund.
Mrs. Vivian further stated that all people who wish to contribute to the wardrobe should contact Dean Hancey.
