VOTING FACILITATED
“We wish to give every student ample opportunity to cast his ballot in the elections,” Kotler said yesterday. “Arrangements are being made for voting to take place in front of Bovard Thursday and Friday, May 16 and 17.”
According to plans formulated by the commision, the main walk from University boulevard to Bovard will be roped off. On each side of the area there will be 3 tables, 2 ballot boxes, and 10 polling booths. POLLS OPEN AT 8
“The polls will open at 8 in the morning,” Kotler stated. “Students enter the area and go to the table designated for them, probably al-

Hoover Holds Manila Talks
MANILA, Apr. 28.—(U.E)—Former President Herbert Hoover arrived here by air today from Bangkok and conferred immediately with Paul V. McNutt, U. S. high commissioner for the Philippines.
Hoover also is scheduled to meet with Brig. Gen. Manuel A. Roxas, whose election as Philappines president seems virtually assured, before he departs for Shanghai tomorrow. The ex-President had been due to arrive in Shanghai today, but his plane met bad weather and was diverted to Manila.
He had been expected to make a four day visit in Shanghai before going on to Tokyo on the last lap of his journey around the world as chairman of President Harry S. Truman’s emergency famine committee.
Hoover arrived in Burbank from India Saturday afternoon and conferred with Siamese, British, and American officials on the food crisis in southeast Asia.
Militarists Ads Told
Tojo, 27 Others Indicted in Tokyo For War Crimes
TOKYO, Apr. 29. —(UP)— Former Premier Hideki Tojo and 27 other Japanese military and political leaders were indicted here today before the Far East International Military tribunal as the war criminals who started and carried Nippon on the road to the attempted conquest of Asia through world aggression.
The indictment against Gen. Tojo and his cohorts alleged they planned, prepared, initiated and waged wars of aggression in violation of international laws and treaties, committed wholesale murder and instigated numerous crimes against humanity.
TRIBUNAL CONVENED
The tribunal convened in special chambers in the war ministry building adjacent to the special courtroom which has been renovated for the trials which are expected to get under way in about a month.
There are 55 counts in the indictments which were presented to the tribunal. They were presented at 11:12 a.m. (Tokyo time).
All 28 defendants are accused of participating as leaders, organizers, instigators and accomplices in formulating, or executing a conspiracy with Germany and Italy to secure military, naval, political and economic domination of the whole world, each having special domination in its own sphere.
HELD RESPONSIBLE
The accused are held responsible for all acts performed by themselves or by any persons in execution of this plan.
Specific charges also are being made against some of the defendants for the thousands of deaths (Continued on Page 4)

SC Orators Enter Rotarian Contest
Speaking on the advancement of international understanding, good will, and peace through a world fellowship of business, and professional men united in the ideal of service, SC speech artists will display ,their forensic wares at the Rotary International annual speech contest, May 31.
Occidental and Pepperdine colleges are vying with SC for the $150 dollars in prize money which is being offered for first, second, and third place winners. There will be a preliminary contest from which the top three speakers will be chosen to enter the finals which call for three finalist contestants. The three preliminary finalists will then speak before the regular Rotary club luncheon meeting held in the Biltmore hotel dining room on May 31.
The Rotary International annual speech contest was founded by Crombie Allen, former Rotarian newspaperman, and w'orld-traveler. In 1932 ‘Allen set up the first foundation for a speech contest in Athens, Greece. Subsequent contests have been held throughout the I United States, South America and I the Orient. Allen later settled in

Unitec| Nations security council faced a showdown tonight on a proposed investigation of Franco Spain which Russia: may* try to veto.
An Australian resolution for a fact-finding study of Spain to determine if the Franco regime threatens world peace is scheduled for a vote at 3 p.m. tomorrow after a weekend recess to permit Russian delegate Andrei A. Gromyko and others to consult their governments. Ten council members support the Australian plan with varying degrees of enthusiasm.
GRf<VIYKO FIRM
Gromyko apparently stood pat on his opposition to the investigation. He told the council bluntly that Russia considers there is already ample evidence to justify an immediate United Nations diplomatic blockade of Spain, as formally proposed by Poland, and charged that further delay would smack of pre-wrar appeasement.
Some councU delegates were hapaful Gromkyo would receive instructions from Moscow’—or from Paris, where Soviet Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov is attending big four peace treaty talks—not to try to block the Australian plan by asserting a right to veto it.
RUSSIAN VETO
It was conceded that Russia might try to kill the Franco investigation
SMITH SPEAKS
Connie Smith, president of the Associated Women Students, will speak on what the building will mean to the campus as a whole, results in Research The Y cabinet will act as hostesses at the tea and will also be available to conduct visitors through the campus. The old Y building will be open for inspection with members of the Y council and Social Welfare club present to show the house.
The new house is to be known as the "House of Hospitality” and will include many new features and innovations that the old house lacks. OLD Y INADEQUATE “In the 1945-46 season membership in the YWCA at SC has increased so greatly that the old house has become crowded and inadequate,” stated Mrs. Ruth Grant, executive campus secretary.
In addition to being built around a central patio, the building will have lounge and assembly rooms which will accomodate groups of 200 persons. There will be a worship room in which students may meet for religious worship.
Committee rooms, adequate office quarters, and a kitchen large enough to handle banquets will be features of the new building. The structure is expected to cost approximately $35,000.
The entire campus is heartily urged to attend the assembly and the ground-breaking ceremonies.
Zibell to Speak at Hillel
Charles Zibell, executive secretary of the Los Angeles Jewish Youth council, will speak at a Hillel council luncheon today at 12:15.
Josephine Kleiner, president, urges all members to attend.
Press reports from Madrid yesterday said the Spanish government had announced plans for a national census as the “basis for a referendum” on the Franco regime. Informed Spanish sources said Generalissimo Francisco Franco hoped to win popular support to refute charges that he is a fascist dictator.
Hope Named Tech Guest
Newest addition to the growing list of guests of the musical comedy, “Given Tech,” is Bob Hope. Hope will attend the Saturday night performance.
In a telephone conversation with Tex Abbott, publicity chairman, Jack Hope, Bob’s manager, requested that seat reservations be made for the comic and his friends.
Hope's request for reservations came about as a direct result of his coaching Burl Smith, Claire Kaplan, and Pat Roe when he received the cast members of the Varsity show on his set at Paramount. HOPE DEMONSTRATES The “Given Tech” company members were shown the different types of humor that Hope considered essential in making a comedy a sue by insisting the proposal was a cess. “How to be funny on and “substantive” rather than a “proce- off the stage and in real life,” was dural” matter, and hence subject to Hope’s topic for demonstrating the big five veto.| It was certain, how- ’----------------
ever, that any such attempt would meet vigorous opposition from other council members.
Some quarters thought Gromyko might merely restate his opposition to the Australian resolution and not attempt to veto it, since a successful veto would presumably end all prospects of any UN meas
laugh-provoking techniques he uses.
A very interesting sidelight is ihe news just learned that Burl Smith, male lead in the production, has won the divisional tryouts for the Nelson Eddy $500 dollar music scholarship.

ures against Franco and reveal the sical contributions to the show, by security council as hopelessly divid- j Miss Young.
Religion Essayists Granted Extension
The deadline of the religious essay contest being sponsored by the CouncU of Religion, has been extended, it was announced Friday. The contest will terminate today instead of the date previously set. It is hoped that the extension will enable more essays to be submitted.
The essay should be based on the author's own personal concept of religion, and it has been suggested that examples in the application of religious ethics to every day living will be very effective.
•Personal prejudices must be strictly avoided. However different aspects of various creeds may be used to make comparisons,” stated Don Gibbs, president.
The panel of judges for the contest will include two members at the faculty and two students: Mrs. Garnet Owens, Instructor in English; Dr. Floyd H. Ross, associate professor of church history; Rose Martin, and Mildred Carman.
An engraved plaque and other awards will be given to the winners, and the two winners are promised publication and radio presentation for their essays.
Essays should be submitted to the Council of Religion office, third floor Student Union.
