Baxter to interpret poems from ancient carols to Ogden Nash
A true Christmas spirit will be conveyed to Trojans tomorrow when Dr. Frank C. Baxter, professor of English language and literature, reads and interprets a dozen or more poems on the Yuletide. Presenting the second lecture in a series of book interpretations sponsored by the student council of religion, Dr. Baxter will read poems from medieval carols to Ogden Nash, according to Don Gibbs, president of the council.
“The program will be given at 3:10 p.m. in the art and lecture room of the University library, and will be open to all students, faculty members, and friends of SC,” said Gibbs.
“This annual Christmas program of poems read by Dr. Baxter is a real treat,” declared Virginia Owens, chairman of the education commission of the council, In charge of the series. “Dr. Baxter is one of SC’s most popular speakers and his readings give the poems a special charm.”
Dr. Baxter, who came to SC 15 years ago, after having taught at the University of Pennsylvania, Swarthmore. and Berkeley, is particularly enthused about the poetry of the Christmas season. “Christmas seems a lyric season, while Easter is dramatic,” he declared.
Consistent with his sentiments on the subject, Dr. Baxter’s classes on the last meeting before the holidays have been privileged to hear Dickens’ “Christmas Carol,” said Miss Owens. Dr. Baxter has followed this tradition for 25 years.
The most outstanding Christmas in the life of the professor was during the last war when lie attended services in the Cathedral of Notre Ddme in Paris. “To see those wounded and sick men, silent except for coughing and sighing, was truly inspiring,” said Dr. Baxter.
Among the poems to he presented tomorrow will be one poem which has come out of this war. It was written in Christmas, i942, on the desert sands of Tobruk, stated the interpreter.

World affairs discussions will continue
Moving into the second of the scheduled three-day sessions at the Riverside Mission inn, the Institute of World Affairs continued discussions on international problems yesterday which featured the theme. “World Organization for Security.”
In the morning Cmdr. James E. Boak of the 11th naval district, Lt. Col. W. Stull Holt, and Col. Edward Kimmel, the latter two representing the University of Washington, delivered addresses on world security and current formulas for its realization.
Roundtable meetings and panel discussions consumed the afternoon at which the world security theme came under wide discussion.
Last evening, Dr. Charles E. Martin of the University of Washington, who is general director of the conclave, lectured on “The Atomic Bomb and Its Control” which is generally conceded to be one of the weightiest considerations in planning for world security.

Troy sweet tooth to get satisfaction
similar attitude of the Buddhist-Dhyan school Dr. Ghyka declared I "Although philosophers in the ' course of history have as a rule encouraged the peaceful conquests of the mind rather than the ma- i terial acquisition resulting from successful wars, we might yet find among the many philosophical systems or attitudes to life some in which war and strife are acknowledged, not perhaps as desirable, but as inevitable factors of individual and collective development.” “On the other side we have symmetrical systems in which peace and even harmony, as given facts or ideals, play the predominant role.”
“Dealing summarily with the first class, we must begin by quoting the famous ‘Strife is the Father of all Things’ of Heraclitus of Ephesus, who .thus shows himself to be the father of all pessimists and leads us directly, with a jump of 2500 years, to the 19th is so called biological systems condensed in the formulas ‘Struggle for Life’ and Survival of the Fittest’ which evolved out of the theory of evolution.” “We must not forget” said Dr. Ghyka, “the influence exercised by Nietzsche's forceful propaganda for a religion or creed for masters as opposed to the religion for slaves which- Christianity was to him.”
“Of course Nietzsche is not responsible for the way some of his self-appointed followers have applied his theories. Nevertheless, his slogans based on an exaltation of intellectual pride and self reliance and a marked contempt of humility, and on the urge to ‘live dangerously’ in the world of ideas, had a disastrous effect on many minds in the generations which fought in the first World war or came of age between the two wars,” said Dr. Ghyka.
Dr. Ghyka said that Mussolini is the typical case in point of a by no means inferior mind intoxicated by the above mentioned formulas. He “lived dangerously” and Italy with him, and lived long enough to regret it.
“The logical mistake enclosed in most of these pseudo-Nietzsch-ean and Darwinian formulas is that the fittest, the ones which shall survive, are generally confused with the physically strongest. This of course forgets that sometimes the fittest is the morally strongest,” said Dr. Ghyka.
Dr. Ghyka came to SC tliis term after having a varied career as a mathematician, diplomat, and naval attache. His career as a Ruman-in diplomat included tours of duty as counselor to the Rumanian legation in Rome. Madrid, Warsaw, and Paris. Later he became Rumanian minister to Stockholm, and until 1940 he served as assistant minister in London.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.—<LT_B)— The Supreme court today granted a reprive to Japanese Gen. Tomo-yuki Yamashita, .the ruthless "Tiger of Malay,” who has been sentenced by a military court at Manila to hang as a war criminal.
The court ordered a formal stay until it has time to consider his appeal for a civil trial in this country. A new petition asking intercession arrived today.
In another case, the court ap-painted Lloyd K. Garrison, chairman of the War Labor Board, as special master in Georgia's suit charging 20 railorads with a conspiracy to fix southern freight rates.
Yamashita’s sentence previously had been stayed by Secretary of War Robert P. Patterson pending action by the court. There was no indication when the tribunal will decide whether to hear the case. Its next regular session is not until Wednesday, Jan. 2.
