United Action Against Spain Doomed in UN
Five-power Coalition Blocks Polish Demand For Boycott of Franco
NEW YORK, Apr. 18.—(HR)—Five nations in the security council today doomed the Russian-supported Polish demand for an immediate United Nations diplomatic break with Franco Spain but a sixth— Australia—asked instead a council investigation of the true situation.
Australian chief delegate Col. W. R. Hogdson. held that Poland had not proved Spain was a threat to peace. He proposed naming a subcommittee of five to investigate and report by MayJ7. Questions to be asked, HodgsoiT said, are: QUESTION
1.—Is the Spanish question an international one? 2.—Will it create international friction? 3.—Does it threaten peace and security?
If the answer is no, Hodgson said, the council would take no action. If it was yes, he said, the council could decide what to do.
Great Britain, China and Brazil joined the United States and the Netherlands against extreme or hasty action on Spain. Russia supported the Polish demand for a diplomatic break as had France and Mexico.
MAKES PROPOSAL
Then Hodgson, agreeing with neither side, made his proposal as an amendment to Poland’s resolution. He appealed particularly to the United States to support him.
United Nations circles expressed brU?! that the Australian proposal might appeal to this country, which makes no bones of its dislike for Franco but wants to do nothing which might either strengthen him by rousing Spanish national pride or oust him at the price of bloodshed in Spain.

Madsen Meets Wallace
Issues Sidestepped By Commerce Chief
by Ruth Madsen
Henry Wallace came to town yesterday, and like other recent visitors to Los Angeles, didn’t have much to say.
The secretary of commerce and exponent of the “century of the common man,” called for “organization of the people from the grass roots up,” in a press conference at the Ambassador hotel.
Washington High Alumni to Reunite
Trojans to whom Washington high school in Los Angeles is an alma mater are being contacted this week concerning Homecoming day which will be held Friday, May 3.
The day will consist of registration at 10 a.m., assembly at 1:30 p.m., social hour at 3 p.m., and a dance featuring Ivan Scott's band at 8:30 in the gym.
Tickets may be purchased in advance, for 60 cents each, from Connie Walhquist, San'dy Moss, Marilyn Nelson, Aileen De Fazio, and Jim Harris.
“It is necessary to get positive organization on the grass roots level, if the voice of the people is to be heard.”
i
Wallace was reluctant to commit j himself on any major issue, due probably to the fact that his words were being recorded by several Los Angeles radio stations.
SIDESTEPS Sidestepping current problems of the United Nations organization, Wallace said that “it is an example of democracy at work on an international scale, and I am sure that through ‘give and take’ things will be worked out satisfactorily.” Wallace would make no statement about Franco Spain, declaring that he could not speak for the state
Coal Operators Spurn Lewis

WASHINGTON. Apr. 18.—O)—
Representatives of soft coal operators left Washington today with a thinly-veiled threat to remain away until UMW President John L. Lewis is ready to meet them halfway on a new contract to end the month-old mine strike.

Doubling the goal sought during the local campaign, of $1 from every student on campus. Alpha Epsilon Phi has contributed $2 per member.
GOAL OF $2,000,000
With an over-all goal of S2.000.000, which the World Student Service Fund officials consider the mini, mum amount necessary to achieve a reasonable rehabilitation of educational institutions in war-ravaged countries, local student promoters are predicting fulfillment of Troy’s desired goal and eventual successful completion of the national drive.
Established in the United States in 1937 by the National Intercollegiate Christian council. World Student Service was extended in 1939 to Europe at the outbreak of war. At present, several student denominational groups are co-sponsoring the organization.
Primary purpose of the service, according to Blank, is relief and rehabilitation of students and professors internationally on a nonsec-tanan, nonpolitical, and interacial basis.
COLLEGES COOPERATE
All colleges and universities in this country are working together in an effort to contribute about one half of the national quota. In addition, 13 other countries are participating in the campaign, including Canada, Peru, Uruguay, Argentina, Sweden, Switzerland, Great Britain, Portugal, the Union of South Africa, India, China, Australia, and New (Continued on Page 4)

Discussions of the control of atomic energy will consider not only the control of nations but of individuals within nations.
EXAMINE LEGAL RIGHTS
The right to blame individuals for crimes of the state—a new concept of international law brought out by the Nurenburg trials—and the legal right of military combinations to enforce world court decisions will be examined at the meetings.
Dr. Harley was a Carnegie fellow at Harvard and is an authority on international relations. He is the founder and faculty sponsor of PI Sigma Alpha, political science honorary fraternity.

President Truman, according to Secretary Wallace, is standing in a clear-cut way for all of the Roosevelt New Deal policies. In regard to Truman's appointments, Wallace declared thrtt personalities play a great part in such things, and even Roosevelt’s policies were not always the most progressive.
Commenting on the poll tax, the former vice president emphasized that it is a matter of both state and federal concern, and that action must be taken wherever and whenever the opportunity presents itself.

The opera! ors in a statement made it clear that their differences with Lewis were as wide as ever.
They said they were “unanimously convinced” that it would be useless to reopen negotiations until Lewis gave up his royalty demand, arguing that such a concession would be illegal under the Wagner Act and would “open the floodgates” to “union taxation” on other industries.
