*or of political science and sponsor of the WAO society, considers McWilliams “one of the leading liberals of California, if not the leading liberal.”
He spoke enthusiasticaly of McWilliams' writings and lectures stating that SC students and faculty members are fortunate in having him as guest on campus in view of the fact that he usually speaks before audiences of 3000 or
more persons.
William H. Davenport, associate professor of English, said McWilliams had made intensive and thorough studies of housing and other problems of migratory workers and the Mexican population in southern California. He asserted that these studies have documented the
“Grapes of Wrath.”
Dr. Wilbert L. Hindman, associate professor of political science, pointed out yesterday that in McWilliams’ recent study of the Jap-inese relocation problem, the author contended that there has not ;een one act of sabotage, espion-e, or treason on the part of any Japanese-American either here in he United States or in the 'awaiian islands where the Jap-nese were not held in relocation enters.

and traffic regulations, Bill Camm, Trojan Knight president, issued the following statement yesterday:
“It had been the hope of the Knight traffic committee to end the parking and traffic enforcement drive this week. The problem of conducting such a campaign is not a pleasant one and we had hoped to clear up the violations by today, but increased disregard for the few simple regulations has made it necessary to continue the tagging of vehicles which do not observe the rules. We would like to ask the Trojans to read again the rules for parking and driving on campus which were printed in last week's paper and to observe them.
“Only by increased caution by both pedestrians and drivers can we eliminate the constant danger from accidents which plagues the campus. It is the duty of all of us to put this drive over, and to see that SC is accident-free.” According to Ed Lowther, chairman of the drive, Knights will tag cars violating the parking rules today and until the drive can be successfully completed. Offenders will be called before the men’s council and the women's judicial court.

Nips fear new Allied landing
GUAM. Friday, Aug. 3.—(U.E)— United States 'and British carrier planes took a toll of 278 Japanese planes and 116 vessels—including a total of 33 warships—in Monday’s assault on the Tokyo area, it was announced today, and Tokyo radio speculated that Allied forces may be preparing for the invasion of strategic islands between Korea and Japan.
One hundred and fifty-one Mustangs based on Iwo struck the Nagoya and Kobe areas yesterday for the second consecutive day, damaging 14 vessels, knocking out three airplanes and blasting installations at the Okazaki, Meiji, Kivosu, Ko-maki and Kokogawa air fields. All the planes returned safely to Iwo despite heavy and accurate antiaircraft fire.
The enemy turned his attention to the Goto and Saishu islands west of the mainland and nervously warned that landings may be made there as 'a preliminary offensive move to the invasion of Japan itself.
Thirteen B-29’s were lost in July bringing total losses to 148 since the first raid on Tokyo.
KFI panel slates LAS dean
As part of a four-man panel discussing the results of the British election, Dr. Albert S. Raubenheijner, dean of the College of Letters, Arts, affj Sciences and director of the educational program of the university, will appear on “The American Way,” broadcast over KFI tomorrow evening at 9.
Chairman and participant in the discussion is Mr. Alonzo Baker, assistant in political science, who announced that other members of the forum are Prof. Paul Perigord, professor of French civilization at UCLA, and Miles Mander, motion picture and radio actor, writer, and director.
Four different viewpoints and backgrounds will be represented in the discussion of the latest change in the British political scene.
Dr. Raubenheimer, now a naturalized American citizen, was formerly a British subject, having lived in British South Africa until his entry into this country in 1920. Born in George, South Africa, he received his first university education at the Universities* of Cape of Good Hope and Capetown, and
later continued his studies at Columbia and Stanford universities in this country. He has been a professor of education at SC since 1923. A member of the American Statistical association, Western Psychological association, Sigma Xi, Phi Kappa Phi, and an associate member of the American Psychological association.
Dr. Raubenheomer predicted this change in the British cabinet more than two years ago,” Mr. Baker said. He added that Dr. Raubenheimer’s interest and knowledge of British government qualify him as an authoritative speaker on the subject.
As a British citizen, Mander will expound his ideas of disapproval over the results of the election. He is known as the director of many Hollywood films including “Captains Courageous,” “Assignment in Brittany,” and “Laddie.”
