Fire Razes DT Wastebasket While Journalists Cheer Hero
Fire swept through the wastebasket in 423 Student Union here early yesterday afternoon, endangering the lives of approximately 30 cheering Daily Trojan workers.
Origin of the blaze has not been determined, but Ed Prizer, fiery editor who slept through it all, said the entire staff is under suspicion. Shirley Barden, women’s editor, screamed hysterically until the flames were brought under control. She was about to leap dramatically into the patio, but somebody talked her out of it with the argument that it had been done before.
Trojan workers milled about, speculating on just how far the thing would go, until a fire extinguisher was brought into play. The resulting spray of foam left a horrible odor and a two-inch head on the whole office.
A preliminary estimate of the damage set the loss at: one deck of cards, one copy of the Wampus, three spools of typewriter ribbon, four cuts of Eph Konigsberg (profile), Eshleman’s racing form, and some old Weekend Whirl copy. Two journalism freshmen are missing.
Prizer tooa immediate steps to prevent a recurrence of the near-disaster. A staff meeting was called before the embers had cooled, and a committee appointed to investigate the blaze. Before the meeting ended, it was decided to have the next staff party immediately after Easter. A collection followed.
Managing editor Bob Smith nervously denied the charge that the fire had been started to provide copy on a slow day. Smith, under whose desk the blaze started, was the first on the scene and should know.

Secretary of State Bitterly Denounces ‘Starvation Terms’
MOSCOW, Mar. 31 — (U.P.) —Secretary of State George C. Marshall told the Big Four foreign ministers conference today that it would be better to have no agreement on Germany than an unfulfilled one like that concluded at Potsdam.
He lashed out forcefully
against Russian demands on Germany. In a plea for unification of the German occupation zones he warned that a partitioned Germany meant a partitioned Europe, and said a divided Germany could later unite to become a threat to peace.
In the angriest statement he has made since the Big Four met Mar. 10, Marshall accused Russia of making reparations demands which would put Germany on a long-term starvation basis.
He said the United States would not agree to making Germarfy a “congested slum or a poorhouse in

Sure enough, there it was: a heroic-sized portrait of Stalm over the fireplace.
Five representatives of tlie Daily Trojan journeyed Friday to the local Soviet vice-consulate to request information and research sources for a study of the Greek question. The Soviet officials were friendly, but could not help us directly. Similar trips are planned to the consulates of other nations involved.
We were just a bit uncertain as we journeyed to the Griffith park address. What could happen? All our press-fed prejudices were working fulltime.
FANCY QUARTERS
The consulate, a spacious mansion just off Vermont on the way into the park, is furnished lik? a proletarian's dream of paradise among the capitalists. Rich, functional upholstery and clean good taste in color and line marked the furnishings.
The clerk listened patiently to our explanations and asked us to wait for his superior. One of our party, looking for a water fountain, saw the clefrk in an adjoining room shortly afterward, laughing boisterously. probably at the thought of the crazy young delegates in. his waiting room.
The secretary of the consulate. Ivan Ganin. is a patient, deliberate, typical heavy, and grey-looking Russian. He apologized repeatedly for his English, but spoke with only mild hesitancy.

around his oak-paneled desk. “My job is to handle questions of local Soviet citizens and to clear entry for Soviet ships. Any information of the kind you desire must come from the embassy in Washington.” Ganin seemed eager to talk to us. Tlie consulate was not crowded, and the only arrivals during our stay were workmen fixing some wires Both Ganin and his clerk seemed, despite their evident amusement at our mission, to be eager to talk to someone.
FREE LITERATURE
The secretary invited us to help ourselves from a tabie full of Soviet pamphlets and other literature. He
proudly passed out copies of the Russian constitution, beaming and pointing to Article 121 (calling for freedom of education) with the pride of a young child with a bright new toy.
We took what we wanted. The material consisted mainly of straight quoted speeches, with few attempts at propaganda, and bulletins on affairs inside Russia, aimed at English-speaking readers. We also received a small folder of photos, including shots of Stalin and Molotov. MOVIE TALK The secretary talked eagerly about Soviet movies as we stood in the hall taking our leave. He recommended the current “Stone Flower,' and added:
“You will like the beautiful color It is different from most of our pictures. No propaganda." He sighed.
“Your own pictures — everyone thinks the same, acts the same, talks the same, kisses the same. They are not good for humanity. Too much—” He danced a little jig to show what he meant. We assumed he referred to musicals.
He said the only American film he liked this year was * The Best Years of Our Lives,” though everyone in it was presumed to be pretty well-off. SAD PARTING We shook hands and took our leave of Ganin and his clerk. They had seemed to take joy in talkin . with us. and appeared just a little lonely as we left.
As we went back to the city, newsboys screamed headlines about Russian “pressure.” We wondered what ail the screaming was about.
reparations.”
However, t both chief delegates tempered their statements by • expressing willingness to work for solid agreements.
FOUR FROM EACH
The Big Four agreed to go tomorrow into a “restricted” meeting at which only four men of each delegation will take part—the chief delegate, an interpreter, and two advisers.
This means that after three weeks and one day of talk, the foreign ministers will finally get down to business, as they had done in New York and at previous meetings.
Diplomatic horse-trading will now start and it should be apparent this week whether major agreements on the German peace treaty, the mo- j mentous diplomatic problem facing the world, will be possible.

beseiged by thousands of clamoring students with 25-cent pieces in their hands.
The March Wampus promises to be a complete sellout. It looked as though the staff might even have to go into a second printing.
Suddenly, without warning, sun peeped from behind a cloud where it had been hiding all morning. Like a wisp of fog, the crowd dispersed under the warming rays of the sun.
Saddle-shod feet of the horsey set dashed for convertibles; red and green mocasins followed in clattering pursuit. Some students shed clothing as they ran, revealing bathing suits worn under street clothing.
Within two minutes 5000 straight-piped vehicles were roaring their way toward nearby beaches, and the campus waa deserted.
Wampus was forgotten.
That’s why there will be a few of the much-prized funny books on sale at the candy counter of the student union today and tomorrow.
In addition to the short service, Dave Evans who directs the activities, expects to have one or two widely-known personalities present at the assembly.	t

Campus wags had a field day when asked “Should University avenue be shut off to all traffic during school hours?”
Many students w h o evidently thought this poll-taker was a talent scout from “Allen's Alley” enlivened the proceedings with replies ranging from “Shut out all cars except green convertibes with New York license plates’ 'to "What! Deprive Tirebiter of his mission in life? Never!”

peasant traffic.
Fifty-eight of the 100 Trojans questioned gave thumbs-down on any discontinuance of traffic, 39 thought it would be a good idea, and three offered no opinion.
GEOLOGIST SAYS ‘ARTERY’
Enlarging on some of the views proferred. Jim Scanlon, geology student, said “University avenue is a main artery and leads to parking on the side-streets. Shut it off? What's the big idea, anyway?”
Another student with a ready, and equally unanswerable query for this poller was Gordon McKay, physical
education major, who asked “What would be the reason for shutting out traffic on University avenue? It | doesn’t bother me.”
One Trojan lined up with the “Through this Campus Pass the: Most Beautiful Cars in the World" ; school of thought. Harry Zaharson, i engineering, feels that the autos I “add to the picturesque quality of our university.”

Slightly more lunctional and no less extreme is the idea of Glenn Lundell. poitical science student, who thinks "We should shut out all traffic on University avenue and make a parking lot out of it.”
LAS Launches7 Song Campaign
Launching a campaign said to be unique to the SC campus and beckoning to the innate musical capacities of local students, a contest for the composition of newr school songs was announced yesterday by the LAS council.
Open to all university students, judging of the songs will end with the final elimination tentatively scheduled in Bovard auditorium May 21 when trophies will be presented for the winning number. Entries must be submitted to the Trojan Knight office before May 8, according to Carl Gebhart, LAS president. and Sid Adair, contest committee chairman.
Every song must be sponsored by some fraternity, sorority, or any other organization, and the winning number, whether of the alma mater, fight song, or other type, will win a two-foot trophy for the sponsoring group and a similar trophy for the composer and writer. Prizes will also be offered for second and third places.
Prelimmary judging will be done by *a music-faculty committee, according to Adair, with the final selection made by popular balloting following the all-university assem.* bly. All judging will be done without the composer's name being known.
