Hitler's path, paved by Frick -victim says
NUERNBERG^ Jan. 16.—(U.R)— A former German lawyer and concentration camp victim, appearing for the prosecution at the war crimes trial, today charged Nazi interior minister Wilhelm Frick with being the man who gave Adolf Hitler fake German citizenship and thus paved his road to power.
Dr. Robert M. W. Kimpner, one time assistant German state’s attorney in Berlin but now an American citizen living at Lans-down, Pa., was the lawyer. Today he was a prosecution attorney, handling the case against Frick as other American prosecutors, military and civilian, had done against other defendants.
Kempner while in Berlin sought to force the dissolution of the Nazi party before it attained power. After Hitler became Chancellor, Kemplier was sent to concentration camp. Frick personally deprived him of German citizenship In 1935, and last year he became an American citizen.

Evelyn Corby, executive secretary of the Civic Center division of the School of Public Administration, who was present when Dean Olson made the announcement, added that a police curriculum committee had already been activated. This committee, she stated, will instruct interested students on police methods of operation.
The police curriculum committee is composed of Deputy Chief of Police Richard Simon, Capt. Roger Murdock, Capt. Robert W. Bowling. Lt. James L. Fulton, Lt. Leland Jones, of the Los Angeles police department laboratory.
“Those people who desire to attend should stop by this office as soon as possible. Cards will be available to them upon which they should write their complete names, addresses, telephone numbers, their present major, and whether they are freshmen, junior, or whatever.”
Dean Olson urged that all students interested in participating in the vocational guidance conference concerning police work should stop in the School of Public Administra-office, 252 Administration.

Dr. Whitchurch, dean of the Graduate School of Religion, indicated the valuable ‘summary which the book presented of the religious values connected with everyday lives, and proved the book to be a fair evaluator of the ethical exponents of various existing philosophies.
The main theme of discussion was that the quality of a person’s religion manifests itself ultimately in the type of person it helps him to be; that the quality of the people interested in religion was of secondary importance.
The question, he maintained, is not to have and to hold religion, . . . and sorority pledge presidents but to improve the fundamental at-are requested to meet at 12:30 today titude towards this investment; to in the AWS office and bring com- j enlarge and develop the ethical plete lists of their pledges.	values of relisrion in relation to the

Religious council to convene today
Education commission of the Council of Religion will meet JPt 12:45 this afternoon in the religious council offices. All members asked to oe present at this meeting, according to Virginia Owens, chairman. Important issues are to be discussed. Commission members who have not handed in their reports are asked to bring them if possible to this meeting-
ligion is necessary, because without it we can have no moral foundation of human life. This, Dr. Whitchurch holds to be a half-truth, as it is more likely that ethics itself sets up the moral standards, with religion backing up every quest of the human spirit which tends to improve the quality of human life.
“These days it is evident that many distinctions between moral values are determined by spontaneous practical decisions with emphasis on the economic aspect; moral implications of secondary importance,” he said.
The peace talks of today are vicious and irrelevant if they go on ignoring the basic principles of hu-are man life, since society is based strictly on moral foundations, according to Dr. Whitchurch.
Modern history does not base moral distinctions on universal truths but rather according to the labels of society which are made and unmade by spontaneous social agreement, he stated.

Senator suggests new draft to speed up demobilization
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16. — (U.P.) — Sen. Edwin C. Johnson, D., Colo., today proposed that the draft age be raised to provide relief for overseas veterans and end the demobilization slow-down.
Acting Secretary of War Kenneth C. Royall promptly endorsed the suggestion as “sound,” but pointed out that draft regulations are controlled by selective service and not the war department.
Johnson’s senate military affairs committee on demobilization summoned draft director Lewis B. Hershey to appear Friday and discuss the possibility of raising the draft age and lowering physical requirements. The selective service law authorizes drafting of men 18 to 45, but calls now are confined to youths 18 through 25.
Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, army chief of staff, testifies before the subcommittee tomorrow on the demobilization slow-down. His views will be sought on the draft age proposal. He told members of congress Tuesday that one of the reasons for the demobilization slow-down was failure of selective service to supply the army’s requested quota of 50,000 selectees a month.
Selective service said the biggest reason for failure to fill the quotas was the army’s high physical standard.
Art interest faltering; fraternity plans show
To promote serious lower division art work, Delta Phi Delta, national art and architecture fraternity, is sponsoring an art show to be presented in February, which will include examples of the fine arts, designing and architecture.

ining aims told to faculty
“Building a strong, healthy body, teaching military discipline and correct posture, and developing a keen competitive spirit were the main aims of our ^program to train navy and marine combat flyers,” stated Coaoh Justin M. “Sam” Barry addressing yesterday’s noon meeting
of the Men’s Faculty club.
Immediately after Pearl Harbor, the navy commissioned some of our top athletic men, who, after taking a strenuous course at Annapolis, were given the task to help train combat pilots for the navy and marines. These men studied various methods of training, including practices used by Japan and Germany, and finally adopted a competitive sports program.
Coach Barry was put in charge of the sports program at St. Mary’s Pre-Flight school. He installed a training schedule that gave the cadet experience in boxing, wrestling, hand-to-hand combat. sw imming, basketball, tumb- m ling, military track, and mass exercise.
The February art show will be open to the public.
Next semester the Colleges of Architectur*; and Fine Arts will sponsor a two week art show open
to all members of the colleges.
The show also will be open for public admission.
Now underway is the college crest content which closes in two weeks. Prizes of $30 and $20 will be awarded the designers of the best crests which will be placed on school stationery and banners.
Byron Davis emphasized the need for serious work in the field of art. “There is a need for a new rennaissance of art on the Pacific coast,” Davis stated.
The February art show sponsored by the fraternity is to promote more definite and siirioui thought arr.ong the lower division students in the two colleges. The awards given will be made directly by i_elta ’’hi Delta in keeping with this thought.
