it
according to present expectation and the President expects congress to recess by the end of this week.
If by any chance the President arrives before the recess he would
stick to his original plan and report to congress.
It is possible that the President before the recess will send a congratulatory message to the senate or to senate leaders on the expected ratification of the United Nations charter.
The President is understood to be most happy over charter progress as evidence of American willingness to take part with full force in the postwar enforcement of peace.
He is expected to tell the American public as much as is possible of the discussions held so secretly in the conference compound.
Cellar time
interpretation yesterday of ‘ Ralph Perry.
The third of a series of summer lectures in the Art and Lecture room of Doheny library, Mr. Baker's book interpretation was given again this term as a result of popular demand, announced J. Randolph Sasnett, executive secretary of the religious council.
In Dr. Perry’s opinion, democracy stands for universal humanity. “Consequently, isolation is the antithesis of democracy.”
“The good neighbor policy, UNRRA. the four freedoms, and reciprocal trade agreements are bringing the United States back to 18th ntury democracy—that is, before merican policy was led astray by solationism.'’ states Dr. Perry in his it.
Thomas Jefferson advocated a revolution every 20 years, according to Baker. Dr. Perry points out
‘Puritanism and Democracy,”
that America has had two since the break with England—on March 4, 1829, when Andrew Jackson was inaugurated and on March 4, 1933, with the inauguration of Franklin Roosevelt.
“With Jackson, democracy ceased to be a theory.” Baker stated, “During his office the first labor union was organized, and temperance, abolition of slavery, popular education. and women's suffrage became popular topics.”
“This is a competent and fascinating book rep’ete with wisdom and the highlights of the historic and religious factors making up the American creed,” said Baker.
Dr. Perry, a professor of philosophy at Harvard university and a historian, has written several other books.
“Meet me in the Cellar” will be a familiar phrase on the campus starting today. At 10 a.m. the doors of the large basement beneath the Student Union building will be thrown open for all students. In the Cellar will be sold hot and cold drinks, salads, and sandwiches.
For the time being, the newly-opened eating quarters will be opened from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., according to Mr. and Mrs Donald Winegar, managers of the Cellar. Mrs. Winegar stated that “if it is possible to obtain more food we will remain open longer hours.”
To make the Cellar harmonize with the spirit of Trojans and Trojanes, a piano and radio have been made available. A jukebox will also be brought in soon, said Winegar. To make their visits to the basement more comfortable, two, low, round tables have been made available for students to place their books.
Today’s opening of the Cellar is not the first time that the Student Union basement has served the students of Troy. Ten years ago it was known as the “Men’s Grill. Here, many ham and eggs and bacon and eggs orders were served before the war. Facilities for cooking proved inadequate. For a while hot meals were cooked in the cafe and brought to the basement, but by the time the meals got downstairs, they were cold, and this service was also discontinued.

Traffic drive nears finish
In addition, a total of 170 Japanese planes were destroyed or damaged and 84 merchant ships were sunk or damaged as more than 1200 of Adm. William F. Hasey’s carrier planes hurled the most crushing carrier blow of the war at the shuddering Japanese homeland.
Another 39 Japanese planes were destroyed or damaged in yesterday’s assaults on the inland sea, but only preliminary reports of that attack were available when Adm. Chester W. Nimitz announced what appeared to be the death blow to the Japanese fleet.
Among the damaged warships was the elusive battleship Haruna, pounded by the late Capt. Colin Kelly off the Philippines in the opening days of the war, and the aircraft carrier Amagi. one of Japan’s “super carriers.”
The half battleships-half carriers Ise and Hyuga also were damaged, Nimitz announced. That made a total of four battleships —all Japan was believed to have seaworthy—blasted in a week. The battleship Nagato was damaged heavily in last Wednesday’s attack on the Lokosuka naval base.
The sky-filling fleets of attacking planes, diving down through flak-filled skies to tear the camoflage loose from the skulking enemy fleet, scored damage that ranged from heavy to light.
Swinging into the final days of the traffic campaign, the Trojan Knights are continuing their drive to improve driving conditions on campus. Warnings are still being issued to students who vioiate speed limits and parking regulations in compliance with a request from the
Los Angeles police department for better supervision of campus* traffic.
“New students who are repeatedly violating traffic regulations are reminded that these rules are not overly stringent and simply follow those prescribed by the police department for safety,” states Ed Lowther, chairman of the campaign for the Knights.
Trojans who violate the regulations will receive tags detailing the name, license number, owner, location, and type of offense on their cars.
