PARIS, Jan. 20 — (U.P.) — Gen> Charles DeGaulle resigned as president of France in a dramatic dispute with the Communist party today, throwing the fourth republic into its gravest crisis, and DeGaulle’s secretary said that his decision was “irrevocable.” Both DeGaulle’s resignation
and his decision to retire were made public by his cabinet director and secretary, Gaston Palewski, who carried a letter of resignation to Assembly President Felix Gouin.
"Gen. DeGaulle isn’t merely resigning,” said Palewski. “He is leaving his post — irrevocably. Furthermore, the general is retiring for good from political life.” DeGaulle's resignation, which threw France’s fourth republic into its gravest crisis, followed ihree months of disputes with the Com-
jmupist and Socialist parties. They “The immediate prospects for the had dertianded major reductions in fulfillment of ,the Bretton-Woods the French armed forces and a c> n-plan with its international bank stitution which would drastically and international fund, appears to restrict the powers of DeGaulle's be bright,” is the opinion of Homer post.

NEW YORK. Jan 20 — (U.R) — Pan American World Airways, Inc., announced that a Constellation plane on a survey flight from New York to Lisbon today set a record of nine hours, 58 minutes, cutting the previous commercial flight record almost in half.
The plane took off from La-Guardia field at 12:45 a.m., EST, today and passed over the Lisbon airport at 10:43 a.m., EST, after averaging 344 miles an hour on the 3425 mile flight.
Hamner views Bretton-Woods
Among the three speakers to be heard Is Dr. Robert B. Pettengill, associate professor of economics, who will speak on ways by which the labor situation may be appraised. .
"Labor is operating under the same principle as management in seeking to get the most it can for itself. It is using traditional tactics of the strike, together with special appeals to enlist popular support, such as, (1) to maintain take-home pay in order to keep up national purchasing power, (2) to offset increased cost of living, (3) to share in business profits when business is good,” said Dr. Pettengill.
Dr. Pettengill obtained his Ph.D. at Stanford in 1934, and, before coming to SC in 1934, he taught for five years at the University of Arizona. For a year and a half he held the position of assistant district price executive in the OPA, terminating his duties there in June, 1944.
Maurice Gould, major in political science, will speak on “Labor’s Position in the Present Strike Situation.” Formerly of Atlanta, Ga., he is on inactive duty, U. S. Naval Reserve. Captain of SC's debate squad, he is an active Phi Sigma, national honorary biological, and a Phi Eta
Sigma.
Bil Boyce, a sophomore in prelaw, formerly attended Michigan State university. He will take management’s position in the discussions. He spent a year and a half in the African and Italian theaters before his recent release from the army.
The speakers are allotted eight minutes each, after which the meeting will be open for general discussion among those present.
Founded on the campus last spring by a group of students and faculty members Interested in current affairs, the SC Town meeting is sponsored by Dr. Carlton Rodee, head of the political science department. The American Town Meeting of the Air provides the basic plan. These discussions are to provide a means for information discussion, and debate on matters of civic significance.
The co-chairmen are interested in receiving suggestions for future topics, and they may be turned in to either of them at the Daily Trojan office, fourth floor, Student Union.
"This is one meeting at which anyone interested may have an opportunity to voice an opinion on the currect discussion,” Miss Griffin said-.

UNO may approve panel for control of atomic energy
LONDON, Jan. 20—(U.P.)—The United Nations political and security commission starts consideration tomorrow of the momentous atomic energy control problem and it was forecast in well-informed quarters that the Moscow resolution for creation of a UNO atomic energy commission would be
approved without amendment. { -j-
Senator Tom Connally, D., Tex.. chairman of the Foreign Relations committee, will represent the United States on the political and security ! commission.
Some delegates including those , of Australia and New Zealand are expected to oppose the Moscow resolution and demand that the UNO assembly as a whole take | charge of the atomic energy control question. But there was no indication that a formal proposal for amendment of the , Moscow procedure would be either offered | or approved.
However, United States delegates are prepared to watch developments closely and Secretary of State James F. Byrres, though he wants to return to Washington this week, is expected to remain here until the proposed atomic energy commission has been created.
In Moscow the Big Three foreign ministers agreed that, when created. the commission should make its reports and recommendations to the powerful security council on i which the Big Five powers hare
the right to veto. Thus any recommendation which was regarded as violating security c(fuld be vetoed by the United States as well as by any other of the Big Five.
Australian president N. J. O. Ma-kin of the security council conferred today with UNO secretary Gladwvn Jebb on Iran's demand for an investigation of its dispute with Russia.

Alonzo Baker, assistant in general studies, was elected to the presidency. Paul Hadley, instructor in international relations, was chosen vice-president; and Robbie Patterson will serve as secretary.
Outgoing officers are Leslie Harris, president, and June Schwartz, secretary.
The panel of speakers included Dr. J. Eugene Harley, professor of political science and faculty sponsor of Pi Sigma Alpha; Dr. Roy Malcolm, professor of political science; Adamantios Th. Polyzoides, lecturer in international relations; Dr. Richard W. Van Alstyne, professor of international relations; Mr. Baker, and Mr. Hadley.

Hillel sponsors lecture
Dr. Willis W. Fisher, professor of biblical literature and archaeology, will speak at noon today at Hillel house, 3665 McClintock avenue, on the subject “God and One World.” Everyone interested is invited to attend, according to Lenora Cytron, president of Hillel council.
Lunch will be served before the program begins. Syivla Kehn is in charge of luncheon arrangements.
Effective immediately, a fine of $3 to $5 will be assessed all people who fail to bring their tickets to 225 Student Union within the 48-hour grace period stated on the tickets.
“The offenders who have put off reporting to pay their fine have had letters sent to them with instructions to report at once or university action will be forthcoming, and by their tardiness, they will pay the maximum $5 penalty,” continued Hoytt.
“We haven’t wanted to resort to such tactics, but unless better parking results are noticed in a few days, the local police will be asked to take over the difficulties,” he added.
Hoytt hastened to add that most students are cooperating to the utmost, but many people still insist on disobeying the obviously illegal parking areas, thus necessitating such action. Parking lots are becoming traffic jams with cars being parked in driveways and directly in front of other cars, thereby tying up the w’hole lot.
The Knights and Squires, who are handling the.drive have the lull cooperation of Carl Hancey, dean of men, who also urges ever,'one with a car to help clear ud the situation
Buzz Forward, Knight president, warns “The police, if we have to ask their help, will not wait a month or two for violators to report, and in all probability the fines will be much more sereve.”
In answer to the often-asked question of what is being done with the money, Forward stated that it it put into a Knight Scholarship fund to be awarded in the near future.
Current troublesome parking spots besides the overcrowded lots are driveways that must be open all day to enable campus trucks and official cars to carry on their business, ’’iolators in these areas will be fined the maximum penalty as it is imperative these places be free throughout the day.
In a concluding plea, Hoytt urged Trojans to watch where they are parking their cars, not only to save themselves a needless fine, but to aid fellow students who are the real sufferers in most of the offenses.
Raubenheimer journeys east for conference
Deal Albert S. Reubenheimer, executive dean of the university, is on a business trip in the east, following the meeting of the American Association of Colleges in Cleveland, which he attended.
Dean Raubenheimer is expected back at SC on Jan. 28, according to Miss Vera Ross, his assistant, who is in charge of the dean’s affairs until he returns. •
Stops in Washington and New York city are included in Dean Raubenheimer’s trip.
Clements tells island history
The 13th annual research lecture of the School of Research will be
given Thursday afternoon at 4:15 in 145 Hancock by Dr. Thomas Clements, professor of geology, on the "Geologic History of the Channel Island Region, Southern California.”
A reception at 3:30 p.m. in President Von KleinSmid’s suite, at which tea will be served, will precede the lecture.
The research lecture, which, at this time, according to Dr. Clements, must be considered as a progress report, will present the findings to date of a continuing study of the region. Geology of some of the channel islands has been thoroughly studied by different workers, whereas that of others is only slightly known.
Considerable study of the seafloor has been carried on, but much more remains to be done. Nevertheless, enough is now known to make it possible to present a picture of the history of the region that, in its essentials, cannot be far wrong.
The following questions are some of the many that present themselves, and to which reasonable answers can be given on the basis of what is known to date: (1) What are the relationships of the various islands to each other and to the mainland? (2) Have the islands been dirctly connected with the mainland in the past? (3) Are the islands rising or sinking? (4) What is the nature of the submerged banks? (5) Are active faults present in the region? (6) What is the nature of the sediments being deposited on the sea floor at present, and what do they suggest as to conditions in past ages?
These and many more problems will be discussed by Dr. Clements.
