Also to be discussed is the effect of President Truman’s present request for housing relief. Mr. Wilkinson will bring the subject up to date, with the latest facts on buying, renting, and securing material for building of homes. This program is part of a drive sponsored by the Trovets to relieve the scarcity of dwellings. Part of the same function is the mailing of questionnaires to some 2800 veterans here at SC, to find out just what each problem is. Milton Buck, president of the organization, will report on the progress of the inquiry by the housing committee. Pantelis B. Lambros, program chairman, will preside over the meeting.

The late Frank Miller, Earned Keeper of the Inn, was instrumental in 1926 with President Von KleinSmid in bringing together a grotop of distinguished speakers of international experience, thinking men, and expounders of things as they should be. Other institutes have started and met on occasion, but the Riverside institute, sponsored by the Los Angeles Institute of International Relations of SC is the only one of its kind ance. It is the reflection of the entire Pacific coast, eventful in expressing views reflecting the entire nation. Representing 14 universities and colleges of western states, military officials, and special organizations, the delegates will feature the general theme of “The San Francisco Conference and the United Nations Organization,” according to President Von KleinSmid. Dr. Charles E. Martin, the University of Washington, is general director of the conclave with its morning plenary sessions and roundtable meetings followed by afternoon panel discussions and evening lectures. The opening Sunday evening symposium on the subject of “Balancing Scientific Discoveries with Spiritual Values and Social Control” will hear Dr. James W. Fifield, pastor of the First Congregational church; Bishop W. Bertrand Stevens, Episcopal Di-ocese of Los Angeles, and Dr. Richard E. Vollrath, physicist as SC. “World Organization for Security” as the Monday theme will include addresses by Comdr. James E. Boak, 11th Naval District; Lt. Col. W. Stull Holt, and Col.

Dec. 13 —(U.E)—Commons after two days of angry debate tonight approved in test votes the $4,400,000,000 British-American credit agreement and the Bretton Woods monetary and economic plan, thus assuring final passage of both measures probably .tomorrow. The votes came on motions to approve the second of bills to ratify the credit agreement and the Bretton Woods agreements. The credit agreement was approved by 345 to 98 and Bretton Woods by 314 to 50. By order of Winston Churchill the conservatives as a party abstained from both votes as an assertion of their opposition to the terms imposed in the credit agreement. But about 68 conservatives voted against the agreement and even some 20 members of the close-knit, disciplined labor party voted against it also. Remaining votes against both measures were scattered. It was understood that five conservatives voted for the agreement. Churchill asserted that terms of the credit agreement were harsh because Americans distrusted the socialist theories of the labor government and said that relations with the United States had become “more distant and more difficult” under it. Bob Anderson, president of the College of Commerce, Dusty Rhode, Vic Harris, Ruby Ann Harbeson, and Ray Carpenter, to bring two gallons of cider and large amounts of popcorn to the Student Union by 3 p.m. today. Dormitories have been given their choice of sending the required amount of refreshments, or of sending three women to help with the cleanup after the dig. Jackie Boice, vice-president of the ASSC, states that the choice for the dormitories has been left to them for their own convenience. Houses in charge of the cleaning of the lounge after the dance are Alpha Omicron Pi, Delta Zeta, Gamma Phi Beta, Kappa Alpha Theta, and Zeta Tau Alpha. Each house is sending three pledges and an active to do the work. “Veterans and other civilian students are especially invited to the dance,” comments Anderson. “The time of the dig has been extended to 11 p.m. for the enjoyment of these students.” Miss Boice offers the information about the all-U digs in the past where the time was advanced to 11 p.m. “These functions were highly successful because they gave more time for pleasure, but we are indeed sorry that the navy students still have to be in by 10 p.m.” The Interfraternity council has secured the services of Al Gayle and his orchestra for the dancing and entertainment of attending Trojans. Special entertainment will also be handled by the veterans. Campus fraternities have been working with the veterans on the music and entertainment for the evening of social activity. A request has been made of the sororities holding desserts Friday afternoon, to have them from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m., so they can attend the dance starting at 8. Miss Boice suggests that women come in group from their afternoon social function to the dance. GM asks court action for CIO-UAW pickets DETROIT, Dec. 13.—(U.P.)—General Motors corporation demanded court action against pickets at two of its plants today as each side blamed the other for the delay in settling the 23-day-old strike by the CIO United Automobile Workers against the nationwide GM system. The corporation filed injunction j suits at Cleveland and Chicago in an j attempt to prevent strikers from blocking non-striking office workers out of GM plants. At the General Motors headquarters here another negotiating session between labor and management ended without progress toward settlement of the strike which has idled about 225,000 workers. On the brighter side was a company announcement that it would cooperate with the fact-finding board appointed by President Truman to study the dispute. H. W. Anderson, GM vice-president in charge of personnel, said he expected to attend whatever meeting the fact-finding board schedules. He said, however, he did not know whether the corporation would open its books to the board. Activity coeds offered advice in interviews All women students who desire to enter university activities are ur^-ed to take advantage of the interviews given by the Amazons and Spooks and Spokes, as today is the final day for the counseling. The purposes of the interviews are to help interested women enter activities, and to aid them in directing their work toward constructive goals. Women needing activity points and new or transfer students are especially requested to The union previously promised its come to the AWS office, 228 Stu-coone ration to the president's ap- dent Union, to fill out interest pointees. Earlier both company and cards. union had expressed their opposition These cards will be filed to aid to the principle of a fact-finding in contacting the women for board in dealing with the strike. Dictator of D.T. calls staff meet Calling all D.T. scribes and scribblers. Rub the ink spots from before your eyes and go to the senate chambers. Jack Estes and his mob are holding an important staff meeting there today at 2:15 p.m. We cannot promise a seance, but you will get the general idea when the big boss starts giving you the third degree. You will find that it’s fun to be newspapermen and that newspapermen are funny if staff members give way to their usual flare for witicisms and sharp remarks. Yule readings will be given Dr. Frank C. Baxter, professor of English language and literature, will interpret selected Christmas readings at a program planned for Wednesday afternoon at 3:10. His readings, which have become a tradition at SC, are part of a series under the * sponsorship of the student Council of Religion and the University library. Dr. Baxter, who joined the SC faculty in 1930, received his baccau-laurate degree from the University of Pennsylvania. He received his master’s from the same university and his doctorate from Cambridge. When asked how he started on his college career, Dr. Baxter said he took advantage of the help given to veterans by University of Pennsylvania when he returned from the last war. Programs for the next four weeks will include “The Big Three,” “Russia and Postwar Europe,” and “The Real Soviet Russia,” written by Edward J. Dallin and discussed by Adamantios Th. Polyzoides. professor of international relations, Jan. 9. Dr. Irl G. Whitchurch, dean of the Graduate School of Religion, will review Eugene W. Layman’s “Religion and the Issues of Life,” at the Jan. 16 discussion. “Freedom and Responsibility in the American Way of Life,” will be the topic for Jan. 23, when Dr. Wilbert L. Hindman, assistant political science professor, discusses the book of that name by Dr. Carl L. Becker. The company took up the entire session with the reading of a review of what has transpired so far in the strike, which was called by the UAW in a drive to get a 30 per cent wage increase. The gist of the corporation's statement was that the union was unwilling to make a reasonable settlement of the wage dispute. In reply, the union charged that General Motors was making a mockery' of collective bargaining. “General Motors still is in the dark ages of collective bargaining and still refuses to discuss the cor-1 poration's ability to pay,” said Walter P. Reuther, UAW vice-president and director of the strike. As for the legal action, Reuther said: “They can get all the injunctions in the world. That still won't make automobiles.” Health service requires exams Due to increased demands upon the health service it will not be possible to offer other than first aid and emergency service to any student who does not have a medical examination record on file, Lenore C. Smith, supervisor of the university health service, announced. This applies particularly to students on the graduate level. Graduates desiring health examinations are advised to make arrangements for the same at the close of the present term when appointments are made for the examinations for the new term. Delta Tau . . . Delta pledges ill meet at 12:15 p.m. Monday for Wampus pledge pictures. All pledges are requested to be present in coats and ties, stated Jim McMahon, Delt president. work in the activities they list. Potential BWOCs 2.re urged by Ruby Ann Harbeson, chairman of orientation, to center their activities in only two or three fields so that they will not waste time on widely scattered interests. “Many women have already attended the interviews, and we are expecting a rush today. The women seem especially interested in Red Cross, the Y clubs and AWS, however, many of them are desirous of working in drama or on publications,” announced Anne Pearce, Amazon counselor. Interviewers for Friday are Eunice Bydal and Madelyn Ha£. who will be in the AWS office from 1 until 4 p.m. I.R. student body election postponed Elections for student body officers of the Los Angeles University of International Relations have been postponed a week to Thursday, Dec. 20, announced Irene Borg, secretary-treasurer. Originally set for yesterday afternoon, they were re-scheduled because of poor attendance. Miss Borg urges all I.R. students to put in an appearance in 206 Bovard at 3:15 Thursday afternoon so that this may be taken care of with at least a reasonable quorum of voters. President's office notice A meeting of the faculties of the University of Southern California is called for today, December 14, 3:30 p.m., in room 206 Administration building. R.
