Tokyo denies Hirohito gives p Jap throne
TOKYO. Monday, Sept. 24.—(tj.E> The Secretary of Emperor Hiro-ito's imperial household ministry lay emphatically denied as “ab-lutely untrue” reports that the peror had abdicated bis throne avoid punishment as a war crimai.
Any reports of Hirohito's abdica-n are “absolutely untrue,” said cretary Shishikui. “Personally, I not forsee any such possibility.”
(The report was broadcast by ungking radio and recorded by e Federal communications com-ion. It said that Hirohito had icated Saturday and had sent s foreign minister to Gen, Doug-MacArthur's headquarters to ask "orders and arrangements.”)
1 though there has been consid-ble speculation that Hirohito uld resign soon, the Chungking io has proved unreliable in the st and is not considered an au-ritative source for an announce-nt of such paramount import-ce.
ext of the broadcast:
'Tearing that he would be listed a war criminal. Emperor Hiro-,to abdicated yesterday in order avoid allied punishment. He nt foreign Minister Shigeru oshida and (words missing) to in-rview General MacArthur regard-g the Emperor's abdication and to k General MacArthur for orders id arrangements.”
tering women equest housing
Homes for 250 coeds now living the east who are applying for mission to SC are needed before e new term begins, according to *ss Helen Hall Moreland, dean of men.
Daily appeals for housing facil-es have flooded her office, she ‘d. Parents who would like to d their daughters west for the 1 term are having to send em elsewhere for lack of housing Los Angeles.
“The situation is critical.” she aintained, “for the four campus rmitories can accommodate only 7 women and the 250 others on e waiting list cannot come unless credited persons open up their mes for individual student room-or boarders.”
“The shortage is due to fraternity oups whose houses have been nted to women.” she continued. _iese are now being taken back r returning veteran fraternity n from the armed services.”
through the line by Ted Tannehill and Bobby Morris, and a decided weight advantage in the line ultimately enabled the Trojans to riddle their opponents into submission.
LCLA tallied the first touchdown of the evening soon after the second period opened by rambling 79 yards in six plays, “Skip” Rowland scoring the TD.
But the Trojans retaliated immediately, taking the* ensuing kick-off on the SC 34 and powering the remaining distance to the Blue goal in 11 plays, Morris hitting paydirt on a decoy pass-play. Walt McCormick's perfect placement made it 7-6. a lead which Troy increased to 13-6 midway in the final stanza when Tannehill capped a series of quick-opening line smashes by scampering over from the three.
That ended the scoring for the evening, although the Cardinal was again threatening the Bruin end-rone when the final gun sounded.
Play during the first period seesawed back and forth, neither team seriously threatening. Tannehill’s fumble, recovered by Russ Taus-check on the SC 40. was the first real break of the game. Jack Boyd drove to a first down in two plays, but a backfield in motion penalty nullified his second effort and put the skids under the brief Bruin (Continued on Page Three)

Jap occupation records sought by MacArthur
(Ed. note: The foil awing letter was received by Dr. Rufus B. von KleinSmid from G. W. Lewis, director of aeronautical research, National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics.)
August 23, 1945.
Dr. Rufus B. von KleinSmid, president University of Southern California Los Angeles 7, California.
Now that the war is over I would like to express the committee s appreciation for the whole-hearted cooperation that the members of the staff of the University of Southern California have evidenced in carrying out certain aeronautical research investigations under the committee’s sponsorship as a part of the nation’s war program.
The three researches on spot welding for aircraft and on the application of jet propulsion to rotary-wing aircraft that have been carried on at the University of Southern California during the course of the war produced results that were of considerable interest in connection with the development of aircraft.
You and the members of the staff of the University of Southern California associated with this research merit the warm satisfaction that comes from a knowledge of the contribution to the nation’s war effort that has been made through this medium.
During the course of the war the results of these researches were made available to the military services and the aircraft industry. Many of the reports^ have been published or are being published and will be given a much wider distribution as soon as security is relaxed.
I trust that the splendid cooperation that has existed between the University of Southern California and the NACA during the war years may be carried forward in the years to come, particularly in the committee’s program of contract research. Kindly extend the committee’s appreciation to those members of the staff at the University of Southern California who have contributed to the success of these researches.
Very truly yours,
