He did not elaborate on the remark in his 20-minute extemporaneous speech in acceptance of an honorary degree of doctorate of laws from Columbia university. The degree was voted to him in 1943 when he postponed acceptance because of the press of war duties.
Churchill urged that history be studied as an essential to taking a broad view and a true view ot the course to be pursued in tne future.
"Even our communist friends,” he said, “should study history. They should study admirable works on the life and soul of the white ant. It would show them not only a great deal about their past, but give them a fair indi-

Shortage Of Talent Asserted
Director Raises Plea For Additional Help In Last Day Appeal
Final talent tryouts for the Varsity show will begin today at 1:30 p.m. in 318 Student Union. Finalists will be chosen from the auditions at 3 ; p.m. by Harvey Edwards, student director of the show, and his staff members.
Edwards will conduct tryouts for singers, comedians,
dancers, and specialty acts. Members of the Varsity show executive board include Johnny Langdon, Lennie Adelson, Ray Davis, and Ray Rand.	•
“Today is absolutely the final day for auditions.” Edwards said.
"I will have to repeat myself and emphasize once more that it is imperative that everyone who can contribute to the show in a dramatic way should report for the tryouts today.”
Edwards requests that all students with talent contributed to the success of the Varsity show. “There is not enough talent reporting to guarantee our expectations of a success,” he said. “We can no longer request; we are issuing a call of alarm.”
At the conclusion of this afternoon’s auditions, Johnny Langdon, head staff writer, will reveal the plot of the show to members of the cast and production staff.
An appeal for secretaries was again voiced by Edwards yesterday. Students \yith a knowledge of shorthand and typing are especially sought. If women can co neither of these, but want to help out as secretaries, “we will be glad to have them” Edwards stated.
The following are asked to be present at final tryouts today at 3 p.m. in 318 Student Union. Will Marsters, Bob Dunlap, James Hags, Dolores Peterson, Claire Caplain, Don Combs, Pat Roe, Larry Harmon, Pat Ervin, and Pete Funga. All finalists should bring material for the final audition.
More Strikes Threaten GMC
DETROIT, Mar. 18.—(U.P)— General Motors Corporation faced extension of crippling local strikes tonight despite ballot-box evidence of only scattered rank and file opposition to a new labor contract.
The barrier to a general back-to-work movement by the 175,000 members of the CIO Auto Workers Union, idle at 92 GM plants since last Nov. 21, was more than a score of separate disputes over local grievances.
Some 75,000 UAW members have ratified both national and local agreements and voted to return to work but about 50,000 decided to stay on strike until plant-level issues have been settled.
All but 500 of the 125.000 voting | so far have ratified the recently-negotiated national agreement between GM and the UAW. A simple
majority of GM production workers was all that was needed to ratify the new contract.
UAW international headquarters announced that by their tally, some 100.000 strikers had voted approval of the national contract, but the UAW said it did not consider this a majority. The union claims It has “somewhat more than’’ 200.000 members in the

Troy Will Have New $25,000 T Building
Modern Style, More Room to Characterize
Improvements Planned by Building Committee
Keeping in step with this era of expansion, the YWCA has announced plans for a new Y house soon to be built on the Trojan campus. A drive is now in progress to raise $25,000 for its construction.
The lot for the project has just been purchased and includes all the land from McClintock
Et Rod Editor Sets Deadline For Pictures
El Rodeo photo appointments must be scheduled and arrangements ma£e with the university photographer by tomorrow, according to Clarice Thurman, editor of the yearbook.
“There will be no extension of fhe Mar. 20 deadline,” Miss Thurman emphasized. “Deadline for space reservations was Mar. 15 and we are now checking all organizations. Since these payments are now overdue no group can be guaranteed of a reservation unless payments are made before we complete our checking this week.”
Proper dress for women having their pictures taken is date dresses. Civilian men should wear dark suits and trainees must be in dress uniform.
There will be no pictures of the present spring pledges in El Rodeo this year due to the scarcity of available film.
Typists are badly needed to help in the production of El Rodeo. Volunteers may enlist at the yearbook’s office, 324 Student Union.

street to Newkirk hall on 36th place. The building committee expects the house to be ready for use by September.
“Our old home has long since outgrown its usefulness,” declared Mrs. Ruth Grant, executive secretary of the YWCA. “More than 100 coeds eat lunch here every day and we just haven’t room enough for them all.”
Mrs. Grant also described the difficulties the various clubs experienced with only the one small living room available for meeting space. “Why, there’s barely room for our avid Public Affairs club politicians to raise the roof a few inches above the house,” she affirmed.
Planned around a central patio, the house has been designed in a modernistic style. Lounge and assembly rooms will be available for large gatherings. These two rooms have been planned so that they may be used either separately or in combination and can thereby accommodate groups of 200 persons.
A worship room, similar to the one maintained by the Faith club at the present Y house, will be one of the features of the new home. Space has also been allocated for office quarters and committee rooms.
Unique feature of the kitchen Fill be its flexibility. To be equipped for catering service to handle banquets and dinner meetings, it will be so arranged that small groups can also be served with light refreshments. Quarters for a permanent housekeeper are included in the plans as well as a temporary office for the YMCA.
Mrs. Lloyd Wright is president of the advisory board, which is handling the drive. At present, more than $15,000 has been subscribed to the building fund. Faculty committee working on the drive include Mrs. Tema Clare, Dr. Catherine Beers, Mrs. Eleanor Metheny, and Miss Julia G. Howell.

St. Mark’s Lutheran church, 36th place and Vermont, will be the scene at 5 p.m. Thursday of a Lutheran Students association meeting.
The Rev. C. W. Berner, past lecturer in the Graduate School of Religion was chosen to lead the discussion on the topic of pleasures considered on the basis of the Bible.

The central idea of Pythagorean-ism is that number is the essence of all things and the principle of rational order in the universe.
Dr. Ghyka, in this second lecture in a series of six being offered by the Philosophy forum, will demonstrate the growing trend of spiritualism and also examine the age of relativity, the quantum theory, and the new Pythagoreanism being manifested today.
Following the lecture there will be a general discussion period, during which persons in the audience may question the speaker or present personal views.
Dr. Ghyka has scheduled four more lectures for future meetings of the forum. The third lecture will continue on the theme of science’s influence on philosophy and religion. In the last three lectures he will discuss Chinese symbolism and art.

He received the degree of LL.D. at Brussels university and a bachelorship in electrical engineering at the High school Electricity, Paris.
In discussing his student’s reactions to the course in semantics, Dr. Ghyka said “It is pleasantly surprising how much interest the students have shown in this new field.
During his long career as a diplomat, Dr. Ghyka received numerous decorations: Great Britain, Knight Commander of the Royal Victorian order; France, officer of the Legion d'Honneur; and Sweden, Grand Cross Polar Star.
Spy Suspect Resumes Post
OTTAWA, Mar. 18. — <ILE)— Fred Rose, Communist member of parli-ment charged with participating in a Soviet-directed espionage ring in Canada, today was permitted to take hts seat in the House of Commons without challenge from his colleagues.
Rose, free on bail after being charged with violation of the Official Secrets Act, walked quickly to his seat in the crowded chamber— packed with members and a huge audience assembled to hear Prime Minister MacKenzie King make a “full statement” on the espionage investigation.
One member pounded on his desk as Rose entered but the remainder were silent. Rose nodded to several acquaintances, then took his seat.
When the parliamentary moment came when a challenge was in order, not a single member rose to object to his presence. Rose relaxed as the moment passed and Conservative Leader John Bracken began a speech calling for increased Canadian food production.
King had been expected to discuss the espionage activities In Canada at the afternoon session but he disappointed the jammed galleries by announcing he would postpone his discussion of the “deplorable question of espionage” until tonight’s session, beginning at 8 p. m.
Diplomatic representatives o f more than a score of nations, with the exception of Russia, were present to hear the Prime Minister.
The only Russian representative in the chamber was Nicolai Affa-nasive, head of the Ottawa bureau of Tass, the official Russia news agency. His predecessor, Nicolai Zheveyenov was recalled last fall and has since been connected with the Russian espionage in the second report by the royal commission.
King discussed only domestic affairs during the afternoon, asserting that Canada is in a better position from the employment viewpoint than any other country.

Quakes Continue As Repairs Begin
By United Press
Two earthquakes strong enough to roU rocks down the mountainside were reported today in tha same area where loosened boulders last week tore holes in the Owens valley aqueduct, but no new damage was reported.
The department of water and power said the shocks occurred at 7:50 and 7:51 a.m. in San Canyon, 100 miles north of here in the Mohave desert.
The shocks came as repairmen finished patching up breaks in the 10-foot pipe that bring* water to Los Angeles from Owens valley. They expected to start letting water into the aqueduct again tomorrow.
Continued quake* after Friday’s
sharp tremors were expected for several days, according to ipokes-
