American Ambassors to Greece, Turkey Return for Consultation
WASHINGTON, Mar. 16 — (UP) — The American ambassadors to Greece and Turkey have been ordered to return to Washington for consultation, the state department disclosed today as congress prepared to take up President Truman’s program to throw a $400,000,000 anti-communist barrier around the two middle-eastern states.
The envoys, Edwin C. Wilson, |-
ambassador to Turkey, and Lincoln MacVeagh. ambassador to Greece, will be joined here later this week by Paul Porter, special presidential investigator in Greece, who also has been ordered home.
CONSULT WITH TRUMAN
The three will consult with President Truman soon after the chief executive returns from his Florida vacation, probably Wednesday or Thursday, and thereafter are expected to appear before the senate and house foreign affairs committees which will hold hearings on the President’s far-reaching Greco-Turkish aid program.
Since Mr. Truman’s historic “Quarantine Communism” speech, bi-partisan blocs in the senate and house have been demanding that the administration prepare to answer candid questions on American intervention in the Middle East and the possibility of war with Russia.
Wilson, MacVeagh and Porter can be expected to provide those answers.
INTRODUCE BILL
A bill to carry out the president’s program. marking an epochal change in United States foreign policy, will be introduced tomorrow by Chairman Charles A. Eaton, R„
N. J., of the house foreign affairs committee.
, The final draft was completed today by legal experts from the committee and the state department
Trojan Reader Survey Closes
The Daily Trojan's reader interest poll comes to an end today with humor still leading in popularity and only a few misogenists voting steadily for four full pages of comics or women’s news.
Today s survey ballot, located on page four, is the last, absolutely Uie last (unless another one is run) chance for the student body to voice an opinion on the subject matter most desired in the paper. Daily Trojan policy will hereafter be predicated on the basis of the poll, and complaints that the publication is not fulfilling student needs will receive scant attention.
Engineer Week Ends With Hop In Men s Gym
•
Dancing to the novelty numbers of Ivan Scott, more than 500 persons crowded the men's gym Friday night during the final phase of entertainment offered SC students throughout Engineering week.
Margaret Whiting, chosen first queen of SC engineers awarded the golden replica of a beaver, traditional trophy for the best-bearded engineer durinf Engineering week, to Bob von Derlohe.
PRIZE AWARDED
Still beaming from the kiss he received earlier in the afternoon when he was judged the engineer with the beard most likely to succeed by Miss Whiting, von Derlohe leaped to the stage to receive his beaver. The prize-winning beard had not been removed from his face.
Mike Catalano, president of the engineering council, placing a wreath of flowers on her head, and handing her a statuette trophy, crowned Miss Whiting queen of SC engineers on behalf of the council and engineering students.
NEXT TIME
Amid loud applause and shouts of “sing for us Margaret,” Miss Whiting accepted the trophy, and explained to the anxious crowd that she could not “sing tonight,” but would sing “all you want next time I come.”
Following the ceremony and presentation of various awards to outstanding engineering students, seniors of the College of Engineering and their dates formed a huge circle for the “Senior Lead Out.”
WALTZ’S WITH QUEEN
Queen Margaret and Bob Bryan, senior engineer, began the waltz, and were joined by all seniors. After the group had waltzed for a few minutes everyone commenced dancing. When the music stopped couples occupying certain spots on the floor were awarded prizes.
Joining with Lawrence Tibbett and the Jansen symphony orchestra. the university chorus will participate in the taster sunrise service atop Mt. Forest Lawn.
This will be the third successive year that the SC chorus has sung at the service. The annual event appears to have become a tradition, spokesmen from the office of Dr. Charles Hirt, director, said Friday.
Broadcast nationwide over CBS, and attended by approximately 60,000 persons at Forest Lawn, the sunrise service musical program has attracted wide notice, and congratulatory telegrams have been received from ail over the country.
Dr. Hirt rehearses the chorus in Bowne hall every Tuesday at 2:15 p.m. Tomorrow’s rehearsal is the last possible day for new members to register to participate in the sunrise service. Membership is open to all students of the university, he announced, regardless of whether they are participating in any other musical activity.

From Science Parking Lot
Police Recover One, Hunt For Other; Warn Trojans
Theft of two automobiles in two days from the parkin? lot behind the Science building and the recovery of one has been reported by university police authorities.
William C. Martin, 2009 North Catalina street, reported to university police on Mar. 14 that his car, a 1936 Stude-
--——-1 baker coupe, had been stolen from
| the parking lot. Immediately after
Warning
BUICKS ARE NICE, but the owner of this one really should have looked into the crystal ball and found a Crosley in his future. He, like thousands of other lads, is wasting away to a shadow worrying every morning about finding a parking place this side of Crenshaw boulevard when he could be more constructively wasting away to a shadow worrying about that cinch notice in Spanish 52b. The difference between him and the others is that he finally decided it wasn't worth the trouble it caused.
Stop Here—For $10
Rash Autoists Cause Parking Pain at Troy
What difference does it make which way you park on the streets around campus?’
The difference is $10 according to the Los Angeles police department who in daily checking the campus are continually finding SC violators.
Students who are parking in driveways, at the wrong angle, or in “no parking” zones are contributing to the funds of Los Angeles. They are paying 500 per cent more than the old fine of $2, which was raised

While glamorous stars and handsome leading men were putting their “Oscars’’ on the mantlepiece. a faint whisper of “politics” could be heard along University avenue during the| weekend.
Out of some 50 students and faculty members contacted by the Daily Trojan for their reaction on j the selection of the “bests of 1946,” many charged that “much is done behind the scenes” of the yearly academy awards. Other interviewees were generally satisfied with the results.
Offering a solution on the problem of selection of award winners. Dr. Lee E. Travis, head of the department of speech, recommended that the public should have part in determining what and who was best in motion pictures.
PUBLIC POLL
A public poll ought to be uted to select the winners,” Dr. Travis stated. “It would eliminate politics in that way and multiply judges by millions.”
Declaring that no one connected with the movie industry should be selected as a judge, he stated that room* people are 'naturally preju-
diced in their vote.”
With few exceptions, the majority of persons interviewed were in general tufreement with the outcome of this year's academy awards.
BRIEF ENCOUNTER
■•They forgot ‘Brief Encounter’ in their selection of the best picture of the year.” was the comment offered by Dr. Melvin J. Vincent, head of the sociology department.
“ ‘Henry V was above anything that was produced in Hollywood, but I guess they would not give the award to a British picture.” was the opinion of Rosemary Linn, cinema student, who also questioned the giving of an ••Oscar” to Harold Russell as best supporting actor.
A pretty young secretary in the cinema department. Barbara Bode, thought that Larry Parks “did a much better job than Frederic March did to earn an award for best actor. There are probably politics going on behind the scenes,” she added.
“I thought that Celia Johnson in ‘Brief Encounter’ did the best acting in 1946. but as a whole they did all right with the selections.” commented Wilbur Blume, cinema teaching assistant
Books for Bl ind Offered by State
Speaking before members of the Graduate School of Library Science, Mabel Gillis. state librarian, Friday told of the process by which Braille books and record players are provided for sightless people in California.
“The Federal government provides the state with the necessary Braille books and record players. The state then sends the material to the various counties requesting them. It is a rapid process and is provided free of charge to those who need it,” Miss Gillis said.
The extension services of the state library cover all but one per cent of the state. I^poks and magazines are mailed to those individuals who do not have library service in their district.
“The county library has great need for young men and women. It is an expanding and challenging field and possesses many opportunities for rapid advancement. Salaries range from $220 to $355 a month.” Miss Gillis continued.
Requirements for a county librarian are a college degree, one year of training in a school of library science, and two years as an as-astant to a county library-
Poll Encourages Physics Program
As science features rose to a leading position in the DT reader interest survey during the past week, plans were completed for another physics department colloquium tonight, according to Dr. William E. Parkins, director of the weekly programs.
Dr. John R. Holmes, assistant professor of physics, will talk on “Nu- i clear Structure by Means of Spec- j tral Isotope Shifts and Hyperfine ! Structure” in 159 Science at 7:30 p.m.
The physics department has used the discussions as a method of | bringing together physicists from! the industrial and the university I laboratory. All persons interested in ! modem scientific research will find the programs offer an interesting presentation of the problems confronting the present day physicist.
Dr. Parkins has engaged the services of Dr. Bernard Hamermesh.!
earlier this year.
That parking facilities on the campus are not adequate is a well established fact, however, lt is also apparent that some difficulties are the result of the carelessness of fellow SC motorists who show no care for the other fellow.
Removal of the “no parking" signs, used during the delivery of the temporary classroom units, have helped relieve the current parking situation.
Additional parking space for more than 150 cars was offered by the Union Oil company service station at the northwest corner of Vermont avenue and Exposition boulevard.
, Three hundred cars are using the parking lot at Menlo avenue and Exposition boulevard, opposite the j park.
The removal of the “no parking” signs reopened McClintock avenue south of 37th street, 37th street be-i tween Hoover street and McClintock avenue, and the north side of 37th place just off Hoover street, according to project manager Lester L Sibley.
Physical Exam Vital—Greeley
Students wno nave not completed their health records were warned Friday by Dr. Paul O. Greeley, director of the health service, that the registrar will be asked to impound their university records until the health requirements have been met.
Students whose records are found to be incomplete are notified by mail and requested to report to the health service, 112 Physical Educa tion building.
"If the student disregards the written notices, it becomes our duty to inform the registrar's office, where more drastic action may be j taken,” Dr. Greeley said. PERSONAL HISTORY
The records contain the student’s personal history, results of his physical exam, and results of a skin test for tuberculosis.
“Such drastic steps must be taken to protect all students’ health by having a complete record of physical defects and other pathology. One requirement of the university is that all students satisfy the health , service that they are not carriers of contagious diseases,.” Dr. Greeley i continued.
. URGES STUDENTS
All students who are aware of the ! inadequacy of their records are i urged to report to the health office as soon as possible. This request applies especially to new enrollees in the university.
Veterans who have applied to the government for health records are reminded that the records are to be turned into the health office upon receipt.
A late report received at the Daily Trojan night shop revealed that the police have also located the automobile belonging to W0-liam Scarlett. It was found in the vicinity of Sunland, but thieve* had stripped it of all four wheel*.
Hadley Will Discuss Argentine Problems
Explaining the Influence of present Argentine policies upon Latin America and the Pan-American Union, Paul Hadley. Instructor in International relations, will address the Men’s Faculty club, Wednesday. Student Union, on “Peron, Messersmith, and the Argentine Tangle.”
Professor Hadley was with the department of state for more than two years in the capacity as director of the Paraguayan-American cultural institution unit.
Professor Hadley will tell of the rapid growth of Peron’s power and his hold on the Argentines. He will also explain the relations existing between Argentina and the United States.
filing his report Martin toured the vicinity of the campus and located his automobile on another lot at 35th and Hoover streets. Since nothing was taken from the automobile, police surmise that it was only appropriated for a short ride.
STILL MISSING
The owner of the other automobile, William Scarlett, 4606 South Budlong avenue, has not been as fortunate. His 1941 Chevrolet club coupe was taken from the lot on Mar. 13 and the police have not yet been able to recover it.
Joseph Benken, university officer, pointed out that the crowded condition of all local parking areas has led to the practice of leaving keys in automobiles te enable other auto owners to extricate their hemmed-in autos from the congested lot*.
CAUTIONS MOTORISTS
Cautioning students against doing this, Benken said that such a practioe would probably increase
thefts.
Police officials eiso stressed the importance of not leaving valuable articles in unlocked autos. Negligence in this respect has been the cause of many theft complaints.

Trojans Hear Jose Brandao
Although the downtown theater*^ had long queues last Friday night, the recital of Brazilian pianist Joe* Brandao. in Bovard auditorium, the same night attracted only a small audience, lending currency to the1 “Los Angeles is a musical desert ’* theme.
Despite a meager audience, the, thin, handsome Brazilian performed magnificiently and displayed a flawless and apparently effortless technique. Senhor Brandao dispensed with the usual page turner by the expedient of playing without use of, musical score. The strange but de-) lightful Villa-Lobos’ works, to which < the recital was dedicated, required' more than the average number of notes per second yet Senhor Brandao used only a few notes to guide him through four groups of selections which included 28 individual compositions.
After playing the first group of orthodox music, folk tunes of Brazil. the program turned to unortho-* dox selections written in the modem idiom. Each of these melodies, although full of discords, was a gem of beauty and individuality.
SC’s Madrigal singers also appeared on the program, singing three Brazilian folk tunes arranged by Senhor Brandao. One of the tunes, “The Strings of the Guitar,” had a slight touch of “Open the Door Richard” flavor but evoked a joyous applause from the audience.
