At two coming Freshman club meetings, faculty members will speak on the need of the Russians for books.
The Nazis desecrated not only the homes, museums, and graves of the great Russian masters of literature but even their memory. Tolstoy’s home was set afire; the grave of Pushkin was set with booby traps in order to kill those who came to pay tribute. *These are only a few examples of the vandalisms the Nazis committed on the Russians.
More than 23,000,000 books were destroyed in Russia alone during the war. This was a phase in the planned extermination of the Union Soviet Socialist Republic. Physical and moral strength were to be gradually undermined until the country was completely destroyed.
The planned reconstruction of Europe and Russia can be successful only when cultural interests as well as economic interests have been restored.
Dody Yale, who is chairman of the drive stated, "One million English and American classics will give the Soviet people a picture of our culture and form bonds of understanding and friendship that may even help to insure an enduring peace.”
Yanks produce movies to help seal Nips doom
MANILA, Friday, Nov. 16.—<U.R> —The U. S. military commission trying Gen. Tomovuki Yamashita today admitted as evidence in his atrocity trial an American-made film and commentary entitled “Orders from Tokyo,” It pictures many scenes of massacre charged to the former Japanese commander in the Philippines.
The movie, filmed and narrated by Capt. David Griffith of the U. S. marines who lived in Manila before the war, wras shown to the court during a special session last night. Yamashita, watching the movie from a front seat, sat piker-faced.
This morning's session opened with a lively battle by the defense to have the movie ruled inad-missable on grounds Griffith’s voice on the sound track was “not under oath and opinionated.” The court, however, admitted the movie after discussion during a recess.

Personal interviews, supervised by the Knight president, will be conducted at 7 p.m. Tuesday at the Theta XI house, 919 W. Adams.
“This year for the first time,” Forward added. “Membership to the Squires is not restricted in number.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 15.—(U.E)— The United States, Great Britain and Canada .today offered to share the secrets of atomic energy with Russia and all the other United Nations when and if they share their scientific secrets, fully support the United Nations organization, and agree to outlaw the atomic bomb as an instrument of war.
Until then, the thrge atomic powers will continue to keep the secret of how to make the most destructive weapon ever devised.
This was -the essence of a definitive policy pronouncement by President Truman and Prime Ministers Clement Attlee and W.
L. MacKenzie King after five days of discussion.
It constituted an historic bid to achieve world cooperation, trust and enduring peace, based ‘on mutual reciprocity, in which they pledged .that cooperative nations would receive the secrets of atomic energy “just as soon as effective, enforceable safeguards” are established internationally against using it for destructive purposes.
Declaring that wholehearted support of the United Nations organization is imperative “to maintain the rule of law among nations and to banish the scourge of
war from the earth,” they listed
these among desired and basic safeguards:
1.	Reciprocal sharing of all scientific secrets.
2.	Outlawing the atomic bomb
(Continued on Page 4)
tween 200 and 2500 including servicemen and women and those attending the university on the rehabilitation program constitute one-fourth of the total university enrollment.	f The latest registration figures released by Miss Helen Haller, university statistician, show an increase of 4493 students enrolled for the current term at SC over the previous high for day classes of 6302.
There has been an increase of over 100 per cent in registration from las't term in the School of Law, now totaling 197 students. Enrollment in the College of Dentistry has stayed about the same with 333 enrolled and the School of Medicine has 254 registered which is capacity enrollment for both schools.
A survey of daytime students shows 332 second generation Trojans with nine classed in the third generation group. Honors in the latter group go to Claire J. Whitehead whose grandfather, J. W. Guilberson, attended S'C in 1883. Others include Lawrence H. Cosgrove, grandson of L. T. Lammer, ’89; Stephen L. Webb, whose grandfather, Milbank Johnson, was in the class of ’89; Richard L. Van Cleve, grandson of R. G. Van Cleve, ’90.
Dorothy M. Yale and Jean Yale Welsh, granddaughters of Frank Holman, ’93; Pat White, granddaughter of Jessie B. Waite, ’98; Frances J. Coe, grandson of Horace C. Coe, ’12, and Margaret E. Matti-son, whose grandmothers, Merta White, was a member of the class of ’18.

Knights issue oarking tags
Twenty-five parking violation slips were issued yesterday by Trojan Knights, emphasizing the fact that university students had not yet clearly realized the seriousness of ignoring existing city and university parking regulations, Knights said.
“The majority of the violations are parking in red zones, parking across driveways, and not complying with the 45-degree angle parking restrictions.” Knight president, Buzz Forward, announced. Violators who do not appear for payment of fines within the prescribed 48 hours are to be dealt with seriously, the prexy declared. Repeated offenders and those who do ndt appear for payment of fines will be required to appear before a council of student men or women for a hearing.
