Bill Armbruster, ASSC president, has stated, “I hope that all students will cooperate with the university during Stop week as it is for their benefit that the regulation was made in the first place.”
Davis crew plays at frosh assembly
Raymond Davis and his orchestra, highlighting the freshman all-U assembly at Bovard auditorium yes-temoon, played to a near-capacity crowd. The program, sponsored by the frosh class,-had one of the largest audiences of the term.
Present in the audience were talent scouts from two music corporations and band-booking agencies. “I haven’t talked to them yet,” stated Davis, “so I can’t make any statement in regards to their opinions. But I’m sure we shall have some big affairs soon as the band really plays. Fm losing my drummer to Johnny Richards and possibly another man to Buddy Rich’s new band, but I have two very good boys coming into the group.”
The show, ably led by Al Reid, comedian of the freshman class, progressed very smoothly. Vocalist Tommy Batton, who is under contract to MGM, sang in his own style. He sang “The Charm of You” and “Howr Deep is the Ocean,” accompanied by Aileen Defassio on the piano.
Jeff Gleason, pianist, played his own arrangement of “If You Are But a Dream” and “Summertime,” and then as an encore gave “Jealousy.”
Much credit for the program went to Fred Fox, chairman of the frosh entertainment committee.
After the assembly Davis was asked to play for an Owl club dance at the beginning of next term.

Russia voices demand for MacArthur firing'
LONDON, Oct. 3 — (U.P) — Soviet Russia has demanded that Gen. Douglas MacArthur be replaced immediately as the governing power of Japan by an Allied control council of the four major Pacific powers, radio Moscow disclosed today.
The Soviets prefaced their demand for an equal voice in the administration of Japan with the assertion that MacArthur’s position as supreme Allied commander has been outmoded by the succesful disarmament of Japanese military forces.
The demand was contained in a
Meeting to fete contest winner
Winner of the literary contest sponsored by Phi Eta Sigma, men’s scholastic honorary society, Kenneth L. Broyles, veteran and freshman journalism student, will be honored .today at noon when that organization meets in 206 Administration.
Writing on “How the Student in the University Today Can Prepare for the Practice of Democracy Tomorrow,” Broyles turned in the best essay, according to the judges. He will be awarded a $25 war bond at the meeting today by Dick Gilson. president of Phi Eta Sigma. ..
Broyles was graduated from Van Nuys High school in 1941 and not long after that was inducted into the army. During his sojourn in the army, he received specialized military training at the Colorado School of Mines. He was released from military service last
year.
Hoping to follow journalism as a vocation, Broyles says he wouldn’t be surprised if he ended up doing advertising or radio work.
At the meeting today, Alonzo Baker, teaching assistant in political science, will discuss the “Economic Conditions Within Japan.” Having recently made a study of the controlling families in Japan, Mr. Baker will attempt to clarify the conditions there and reveal the job with which Gen. Douglas MacArthur is confronted.
Interfraternity
. . . couricil will meet tonight at 7 in 418 Student Union, according to Alvaro Escallon, president. Two representatives from each house are requested to be present.
“What Mr. Baker has to say on the^ Japanese problem should be of interest to all students, whether they be members of Phi Eta Sigma or not,” said Gilson yesterday. “Everyone is invited to attend,” he said.
Mr. Baker has spoken frequently to various campus organizations and has made clear his attitude toward United States participation in the world security organization. Basically an internationalist, he has suggested that peace in the future depends on our ability to get along with Russia.
“We certainly hope that as many persons as possible attend the meeting,” said George Myers, vice-president and program chairman, “because we have other entertainment in store for all as well as Mr. Baker’s speech and presentation of the award.”
letter from Soviet Foreign Commissar V. M. Molotov to U.S. Secretary of State James F. Byrnes, which was broadcast by Moscow.
The letter objected to Byrnes’ announcement that Russia had agreed to an Anglo-American proposal that fhe Pacific powers, including France, should set up an advisory commission to explore the necessity of establishing a control council for Japan.
This, Molotov’s letter declared, “does not exactly correspond to the present situation.” He indicated a control council should be set up immediately without prior
discussion by an advisory commission.
“The Soviet government considers that while military conditions prevailed, and before the (Japanese) armed forces were disarmed, there was basis for the concentration of all functions of the controlling mechanism in the hands of an Allied commander in chief (Gen. MacArthur)” the letter went on.
“But, since military conditions ended, a problem arose which is principally economic, political and financial, to solve which it is indispensable to create an Allied organ whereby all Allied powers that played a decisive part in the destruction of Japan could carry out its policy and bear analogous responsibilities.”
