Organization bill passed by Senate
Amendments limiting power of president and outlawing atomic bomb rejected
WASHINGTON. Dec. 4.—(U.P.)—The se/iate overwhelmingly passed the United Nations organization bill tonight after rejecting amendments which would have limited the president’s powers to send U. S. troops against aggressors.
The senate also defeated an amendment calling on the
UNO security council to outlaw the
Troy to stage Animal show
atomic bomb, poison gas, and other deadly weapons through an arms limitation agreement.
The measure now goes to the house where scant opposition is expected.
Passage came after seven days of debate in which senate administra-and i tion leaders successfully beat off repeated attempts to give congress a chedk on the president's power to commit'the United States to military and economic reprisals against future aggressors.
The only amendment accepted was adopted today. It requires senate confirmation of U. S. delegates to the UNO general assembly. Sponsored by chairman Tom Connally, D., Tex., of the foreign relations committee, it would fix the salaries of delegates at a rate of $12,000 a year for the time actually served. A similar amendment was defeated Monday when Connally argued against it.
The latest attempt to restrict the president’s power was made by Sen.
“We’ve had a romance with every' production,” says Frieda J.
Meblin. instructor in drama, we’re wondering what will come out of our current show, “ The Male Animal.’ ”
Miss Meblin, director of the comedy by James Thurber and Elliot Nugent, also pointed out that the drama department has one marriage to its credit already.
By this time, it should be common knowledge that “The Male Animal” will in a sense be the second Homecoming to be celebrated at SC this semester, and this Is one good reason for a 100 per cent Trojan support and attendance.

The plot concerns a young college professor, Tommy Turner, and his wife Ellen, and takes place at Midwestern University. Complications arise in their quiet life during the weekend of the Michigan game when Joe Ferguson, Midwestern’s greatest football hero arrives in town. He sees Ellen, to whom he was unofficially engaged in their college days.
In addition to this slight upset, Tommy is brought into an academic controversy when Michael Barnes, a young college intellectual, writes a radical editorial for the campus magazine involving Tommy and ac-

er of pre-war isolationists. He asserted that the bill gives the president the power to send the nation Bill to war. He said he has neither “moral right nor the legal authority” to do so.
Wheeler’s amendment, defeated 65-9, would have required congressional approval before U. S. troops could be assigned to the UNO se-. curity council to help quell unruly natiojis. Connally said it would have "killed” the bill.
The senate then defeated by voice vote an amendment by Taft under which any action taken by the president to carry out security council decisions would have been nullified after three months. It would have required, the president to recommend legislation to carry out U. S. obligations under the councils decisions.

Several ways in which schools and education can start the creation of a peaceful era were outlined. “First and foremost,” Dr. Thompson stated, “schools must permeate all stages of educational development with the conception of value. Aesthetic and ethical standards must be brought to bear as bases of judgment upon every possible occasion. Wisely directed experience and activity should leave upon the desire life of the individual a tendency always to gain greater satisfaction from those values we term spiritual.”

■Sneak thief
Campus thief proves incentive toward protection of valuables
A sneak thief is operating on the Trojan-campus! A few students and faculty members believe they know the thief’s identity, but as yet he has not been caught in the act, so students are asked to take special precautions with their valuables. Women are asked to keep their handbags with them at all times and men must continue to guard their valuables when at the gym as the thief strikes without warning.
In spite of every university precaution, he still manages to get away with things . . . belonging to someone else.'
Alpha Gamma Delta sorority women were victims of a thief at their house meeting Monday evening. Whether the thief is the same as the one who operates on the campus is a disputable question, but sorority members’ handbags were ransacked and one woman lost as much as $22.
Money has been stolen from one office this week. The thief, who is believed to be a former SC student, has worked here before, and is expected to strike again . . . so remember, students, do not be careless in guarding your valuables!

Siam politicos balk ultimatum
BANGKOK, Siam, Dec. 4—(U.E)— High members of the Siamese government said tonight that a peace treaty, which according to them was presented to Siam by Great Britain
as an ultimatum, is so severe and onesided that they will resign in a body if it is signed.
• We refused to be puppets under the Japanese,” said these officials, who were kicked upstairs during the Japanese regime for refusal to collaborate. “We certainly will refuse to be puppets under the English.” Great Britain has said that she is treating Siam on a “friendly” basis with the ultimate aim of sponsoring her as a member of the United Nations. However, Siamese officials, who must remain unnamed, say terms of the demands presented by the British are so severe that if they are accepted, Siam will become, in effect, “a subject nation of Great Britain.”
On Sept. 8, a Siamese delegation signed a 21-point agreement with Britain which the Siamese said was done with the understanding that the United States was aware of all the terms and actually was a party to the agreement. However, when Prime Minister Seni Promot formed a new cabinet on Sept. 19 and sent another delegation to Kandy, it was told that the agreement was bi-lateral, not uni-laterial.
Originally, Siam had agreed to pay only for maintenance of Allied prisoners of war and compensations for losses or damage to Allied property. The new agreement adds the stipulation that the Siamese must pay all expenses of the Allied military authority in Siam—approxi-100.000 baht per day.

New students get counse
Many academic questions of new students at SC will be answered at 2:15 p.m. tomorrow in 206 Administration in the second of a series of conferences designed to provide educational counseling for lower di-vison students.

Ensuing conferences will be held at different hours in order to make it convenient for various groups of students to hear Dr. Raubenheim-er's talks. Since many students do not understand the prerequisites for entrance into specific major fields of study, all first year students are urged to take advantage of the opportunity offered them by these conferences.	¥
The meeting scheduled for tomorrow will last one hour, and those attending will be given an opportunity to ask questions regarding their own particular academic problems.
Senator seeks MacArthur aid in investigation
Ferguson says general can help clear items in Pearl Harbor case
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4 - (U.E> — Senator Homer Ferguson. R„ Mich., said today that he will demand the appearance of Gen. Douglas MacArthur before the Pearl Harbor investigating committee for testimony on intercepted Japanese messages.
He told reporters that he wants MacArthur to “clear up how many of the Jap intercepts he saw” before the Dec. 7, 1941, attack. He said he wil) insist upon MacArthur’s appearance and that he will request a subpoena if necessary.
The inquiry meanwhile learned through a “top secret” message that the United States assured Britain of “armed support” before the attack. The message was placed into the record by Ferguson as he continued his cross-ex-aminatlon of Maj. Gen. Sherman Miles, former chief of G-2 (army intelligence).
The message, from Admiral Thomas C. Hart, commander of the U.S. Asiatic fleet, was addressed to Admiral Harold R. Stark, then chief of naval operations. It was dated Dec. 7, 1941, Manila time, and read: “Learn from Singapore we have assured Britain armed support under three or four eventualities. Have received no corresponding instructions from you.”
Miles said he never saw the message but it would have been “very material had he known it then.” Ferguson told newsmen at the end of the day that he would request General MacArthur’s appearance before the committee. He wants the Pacific commander to "clear up how many of the Jap intercepts he saw.”
He told the committee that Gen.
Douglas MacArthur, Philippines commander, as well as the British, had access to the secret \Iapanese messages which the U.S. intercepted, but that these facilities were not available to Maj. Gen. Walter C.

There can be no controversy as to whether or not every individual American is going to support the present victory bond drive, according to Virginia Brumfield, bond drive chairman. “At the present time there are. 2500 veterans attending the university on the GI Bill of Rights,” Miss Brumfield said.
“If this last bond drive is not whole-
heartedly backed by every person in the nation, these men and women, along with the thousands of other veterans who are re-entering civilian life with the help of government funds, may lose their one chance to | take up their lives where they left j them at the outbreak of the war,” she explained.
The students of SC have a definite quota to reach in this Victory ] loan. There can be no question | about whether or not the goal will j be reached. The lives and futures of aU veterans depend on the fact that each person must realize his duty to the men who fought and won the war. These men risked their lives for the nation: the country is asked only to invest its money in them for a little while in order that part of our debt can be discharged. Miss Brumfield said.
A prize in the form of a merchandise order will be awarded to the fraternity, sorority, and dormitory which seUs the largest amount of bonds.

C. of C. aids foreign group
Cooperating with the Los Angeles Junior Chamber of Commerce, the Foreign Students’ assembly will be held in 101 Harris hall, Friday at 12:30 p.m.
The principal aims of the group are to help foreign students become better acquainted with SC and southern California, and to assist local students in obtaining information concerning foreign schools and countries.
The Chamber, of Commeice hopes that this sharing of ideas and information will prove beneficial in promoting a better and deeper understanding between these two groups of students.
To serve as an introduction to southern California, the civic group will provide tours of the many places of interest near here. Information concerning the different schools and colleges of SC will be made available to the foreign students, and their relative problems will be discussed. In turn these students will present material of a similar nature dealing with life in their native countries and details about their schools.
Missing cbats are unclaimed
The Homecoming committee has asked all those who received the wrong coats at the checkroom of the Hermosa Biltmore, scene of the Homecoming dance last Saturday night, .to return them to the dean of womens' office. 256 Administration Included among a few coats which are still unclaimed at the Hermosa Biltmore are. one sable dyed muskrat; one Cooper Girls short blue jacket, with a Westwood label; one fur jacket, labeled
Robinson’s; one man's tan raincoat; one beaverette coat, J. V. Grant; one sable dyed muskrat,
Morristown, New Jersey; ‘one lady’s tuxedo coat with a velvet collar, and two navy coats.
Many persons have reported losses thus far, among whom are Lorraine Pace, a black chesterfield with a velvet collar; Rose Anna Brennan, purse containing approximately $4 in cash and a house key; Adrienne Lingle. Siberian squirrel having no identification.
Elizabeth A. Heal, a blue wallet; Barbara Simmons, a black chesterfield with a velvet collar and a Delta Gamma recognition pin on the lapel; Cymthis Temple, navy blue gabardine coat; Shirley Hox-is. purse containing valuables; Dixie McClary, muskrat coat with a Bullock’s label; Evelyn Bernstein, grey fox fingertip coat; Betty Ann Box, three-quar-ters length black skunk coat.
There were also several men reporting losses, the majority of whom were naval officers who have lost coats or hats.
The Homecoming Committee has asked that those who were given the wrong wraps at the checkroom Saturday night return them as soon as possible in order that the mixup may be quickly cleared up.
Brought out by Dr. Hindman was the fact that "although the reduction of working hours from 48 to 40 brought wages down 23 per cent, in many cases where the entire plant converted from war to peace production, the wage rates themselves were lowered. This brought about an actual 40 to 50 per cent reduction in the amount which labor can take home.”
Labor’s stand, says Dr. Hindman, is that its war-accumulated purchasing power will only last one year, and at the end of that time workers will have no financial reserves. The stand of management is that big industries do not want to set a wage standard which will j be equitable now, but later, when public demand for consumer goods has subsided, it will be difficult to maintain.
California’s Senator William L. Knowland’s plan for industrial bargaining to be based on the unions’ inspection of company books as an aid for labor in scaling wages according to estimated profit or loss, came under discussion. Dr. Hindman pointed out
that neither union or management favors this plan.
On the side of labor, the plan woul^ necessitate wage decreases as well as increases which would jeopardize union leader's jobs. Their very reason for existence lies in their ability to boost wages, not cut them.
Therapy work offered at SC

Byrnes tells U.S.-China policy
ASSC
, . . senate will meet tomorrow at 7:15 p.m. instead of today as was previously announced, stated Bill Armbruster, president.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4 — <r.P> — American policy in China calls for support of, but nQt interference with, the Central government. Secretary of State James F. Byrnes disclosed today on the eve of former ambassador Patrick J. Hurley's "expose” before a senate committee of events which led to his resignation.
Byrnes did not mention Hurley’s charges that career diplomats in the state department sabotaged U.S. policy in China. His statement, contained in a letter to Rep. Jack Z. Anderson, R., Calif., was merely an outline. It is expected, however, to serve as basis for a more definite statement from President Truman. He has promised to make public the instructions he gives Gen. George C. Marshall. Hurley's successor, before he leaves for Chungking. u
Byrnes restated this country’s desire for a “strong, united and democratic China.” While China must accomplish the task largelv through her own efforts, he said, this country intends to do all it can to help her.
He and Hurley go before the senate foreign relations committee tomorrow for a public hearing of Hurley’s charges that communist sympathizers in the state department attempted to create disserfsion between opposing factions in China.
The hearing grew out of widespread congressional demands for the full story, behind Hurley’s fight with career diplomats and British and Dutch “imperialist” foreign service agents. Resolutions have been introduced in both houses for an investigation of
state department personnel and policy throughout the world.
Byrnes is expected to elaborate his statement tomorrow, and also to give the official state department stand on Hurley's accusations. He already has made it plain that he stands behind Hurley and that he would have guaranteed full support if he had returned to Chungking.
His letter to Anderson was in response to a request. He wrote: “We favor the creation of a strong, united and democratic China which will contribute to peace and stability in the far east 3nd which will enable China effectively to support the United Nations organization.
“In line with this policy, we deem it desirable and essential (Continued on Page Four)
