Stalin Sees Need For Press Accord
MOSCOW, Apr. 14 — (UP) — Premier Josef Stalin told former Gov. Harold E. Stassen in their talk last week that it would be difficult for Russia to end press censorship, though he agreed that means must be found to better Rus-sian-American press relations, Stassen said at a press conference today.

Opinion—Opposition Light to Phone Walkout
udent Poll Gives Strike OK
by Gordon Hearne
folks back home haven’t been talk to their sons at SC lor week. The girl friend at has been left holding a re. In the face of these and hardships do Trojans think e strikers should drop dead? not.
“Are the phone strikers in striking?’* 59 of 100 stu-d “yes," 26 did not feel that rkers have any business and 15 Trojans had no
men and women of Troy questioned as to political and the results roughly with the score racked up poll question. Sixty-four 18 conservatives. 6 radicals, politically unbiased people tacted.
STRIKE 'lew of some of the offered on the strike ques-» qualifying variation from 'em strike” attitude which ty response Implies: are justified but it is very te," said William Purifoy, ijor, “as it is a strike t In a sens* should eentrol afi
public utilities and have a voice in all phases of big business.”
An even sharper turn toward socialism is needed according to Clarence Jackson, student in education :
SOCIALISM "The way tilings stand now. the phone strike is necessary,’’ asserted Jackson. “However, if the government owned all utilities and big business it could regulate wages fairly and prevent such strikes.” Jackson classified himself as a liberal.
Vivian Johnson, pre-nursing, and Vance Jones, student in biological sciences, took aim at the root of the phone strike cause:
“Higher wages for telephone workers are needed.” stated Miss Johnson. “It is their privilege to strike.” SECONDS OPINION Seconding this opinion Jones felt “all other industries are ahead of phone employees in wage raises. The cost of living is still rising.” Robert Gilbert, English, offered a reason for the alleged wage increase lag. “On the information I have,” said Gilbert “it is a question of the American Telephone and Telegraph company paying a raise to em-ptafoe* or of continuing to pay a
dividend to stockholders. If the company cannot do both, apparently the latter alternative is the most attractive.”
After citing her own experience on a switchboard, Frances Nuno, education, said “I know this monotonous. tiring work deserves more pay. The phone company can afford to pay more.”
SHOULDN’T HAPPEN A sampling of the views which voiced disapproval of the strike includes the opinion of a pretty coed who. through error, must remain anonymous. She said vehemently ‘I don’t believe in striking. It shows our public disunity to outside countries. builds insecurity, and lessens our faith in our way of life. I don't think the majority of the strikvs were actually discontented before the propagandizing of the strike-mongers.”
“Tnere are other ways for telephone workers to achieve their ends beside strikes,” thinks San Schaeli-ter, student m engineering. “It is detrimental to the country, tieing up industry, radio news broadcasts, and other programs, and important 'calls by private citizens. The strike could have been avoided by arbitration ”
Stalin also told the Republican presidential aspirant that Russians could not see “any big difference,” between the Democratic and Republican parties in the United States.
WILL WITHHOLD
By agreement. Stassen released that part of the talk on censorship, but he said he would withhold the details of the discussion on econo-nomics and culture until he got home “because I want to be available for discussion when it is given out.”
During the present conference of foreign ministers Russia has lifted the censorship on all conference matters, and has been most liberal on its interpretation of what exactly constituted conference material.
However, Stalin indicated strongly that censorship would return to normal as soon as the conference ends, possibly at the end of next week.
TRIBUNE QUESTION
Stalin’s smiling comment that Republicans and Democrats looked pretty much the same to Russians came when Stassen raised the question of a Russian refusal to permit the New York Herald Tribune to maintain a permanent correspondent here—a refusal which was rescinded two days after the Stassen-Stalin talk.
Stalin said that the barring of the correspondent was an accident and that the Herald Tribune was “an outstanding newspaper.”
Campus Courtesy Week Continues
Improvement of courtesy in parking and driving on campus is being promoted in Traditionally Courteous week which began yesterday and will continue throughout the remainder of the week.
Special emphasis is being given to parking lot courtesies in an effort to facilitate proper use of available parking facilities and keep misuse at a minimum. Posters calling attention to safe driving on campus are to be prominently displayed on university grounds.

What had promised to be a routine drive home from school turned into participation in a cops and robber shooting scrap for John W.

Harris ran into the climax of a five-mile chase by police of a stolen car, a chase which had started in downtown Pas&dena. He witnessed the shooting of William R. Cowart.:
27, county playground director. Cowart was wounded when he refused to open his car to the alleged gun- j man, Robert Dorsey, 24, who was arrested later Friday evening.

Wlth the cheers of 2000 spectators “ringing in their ears,” the Kappa Sigma team won the semiannual pledge relay yesterday in record time.
The winners were closely followed by pledges from Theta Xi and SAE. No serious casualties have been reported yet, although one sprinter was reported to have been overcome by the extreme exertion, and Theta Xi “Richie” Richardson gained everlasting glory by continuing to run after he had tripped.
Dee Bennett, student body vice-president, presented a plaque to the panting victors.
Continuing its festival of^8th century music, the College of Music will present the second of three concerts by renowned artists tonight at 8:30 in Hancock auditorium.
This evening’s concert includes the “Italian Concerto” for harpsichord, played by Alice Ehlers; a cantata for so-
! prano, two violins, and a harpsichord by Rameau; as well as two-violin sonatas by Purcell. Tartini. and Mozart.
“To bring before tlie student body the wealth of music from another period is the purpose of these concerts,” according to Dr. Charles Hirt. director of choral organizations.
BAROQUE PERIOD
Dr. Hirt continued by saying. “In this instance the baroque period of the later 18th century has been chosen. The selections to be presented tonight are typical examples of the best compositions of the period. Purcell in England, Bach and Mozart in Germany, and Tartini in France.”
The “Italian Concerto” is' so named because, though composed by a German, it is more melodic than most concertos and in keeping with the Italian style. The two-violin sonatas will be performed by Lisa Minghetti, conceit mistress for the Hancock ensemble, and Glen Swan, assistant professor of music. Cathrine Manning will sing the soprano part in Rameau’s cantata. OFFERING TO MISSION This series of concerts is free, and

GI Bill' Producers Pause for Interview
by Tex Cadenhead
Bill Hobin and Norman Willens, director and assistant director, respectively of this year’s varsity show, “GI Bill”, didn’t interrupt their conversation as we walked into their office, 120 Old College.
‘“GI Bill’ is undoubtedly one of the greatest college musicals that will ever be produced.” That was Hobin to Willems.
“This show will definitely put musicals which are produced at SC in the Ivy league class,” Willens stated emphatically.
He looked around the office to see whom they were talking beside us. They were the only one there. Apparently they weren’t even aware of our presence.
Plunging boldly in, we stated that we had come to get some information about them for a story. COME BACK LATER?
“Can’t you come back later when we’re not talking about ‘GI Bill'?" Hobin asked plaintively.
Refusing to be sidetracked, we started on Hobin. “Begin at the beginning and tell us all about yourself.” We demanded to know where he was born, what experience in show business he had had. where he had gone to school, and what he planned to do when he finished school.
Hobin made a good beginnig. He told us that he was bom in Evanston. 111.; that he got his start doing floor shows at the Edgewater Beach hotel m Chicago with Ted Weems and his band, and that he had worked with such people as Perry Como and Marilyn Maxwell. Then he slipped, again and began on “GI Bill".
POTENTIAL BROVDWAYITES
"Do you know,” he asked.” that 'Ome of the talent here at SC could
easily step into a Broadway musical?”
\
Assuring him that we were fully aware of that, we wormed further facts from him. He told us that during the war he was in the Navy air corps and in his spare time had produced and directed musicals in the Pacific theater of oper-
GremlinQuoted On Ball Bids
Arch E. Tektoor, the little architect who wasn’t there, simultaneously “crystallised” a new character for the Dick Tracy comic strip and commented on bid sales for the Crystal ball, when interviewed by a Daily Trojan reporter about the all-U dig next Saturday.
Although fuming with rage because all his buddy-buddies had run off and left him vending the dance bids all by his lonesome, Tektoor finally found time to stop drawing “outstanding” Varga girls on the margin of his architecture detail paper and make a statement for the press.
“It is crystal clear that there are plenty of crystal bids left for the Crystal ball, sponsored by the Colleges of Architecture and Crystal Research. Everyone who owns a watch crystal or knows anyone who does is welcome—professional crystal gazers will get in free if they have their union cards.
“Everybody gets glassy at this dig but nobody gets cut, and, oh yeh— Dick Tracy? I’m so darned tired of this crystal stuff the guy’s going to be Ebony, a black-market coal dealer.”
Sic recital, a short talk by Chancellor Rufus B. von KleinSmid. and an address by Dr. Rockwell Hunt dean emeritus of the Gradual School and originator of the din-ner-lecture series.
“Although this is the first year that the discussions are being helti. they will be an annual affair." said Dr. Thorpe.
After the research dinner in tlie new university cafeteria. Chancellor von KleinSmid will speak, followed up by Prof. William Vennard of the College of Music, who will sing a group of solos. He will be accompanied by Miss LaVeme Dayton, a member of the Oollege or Music faculty.
Dr. Hunt’s address is scheduled for 8 p.m. in the Town and Gown foyer and will climax the day's activities. His lecture. “1850—Year of Destiny,” will begin with a glimpse of California history, bat will also include important aspects of national and international affairs.

Barnum s Insulted
When questioned yesterday on the Truman-Wallace controversy. Dr. Francis J. Bowman, professor of history, said with reference to Henry Wallace “I think that Bar-n urn’s statement was correct.
“Mr. Wallace needs to get back to an atmosphere of fact such as he had when working on hybridization of corn.
Mr. Truman knows the Tacts of politics and at least remembers that the human race moves slowly toward great ends.”
All-U Forum Names Three
The All-University Forum committee yesterday named three members to assist ln the presentation of WSSF. ASSC Senate, and Council of Religion programs planned for the near future.
Bob Hillhouse, secretary of the steering committee, presented a letter that is being mailed to an organizations on campus explaining the activities of the committee.

For the Council of Religion's "Panorama of Religion” series, which will continue until May Charles Antis will assist.
A proposal to ask the univers t:' administration for a statement outlining the exact powers of the committee was considered. It was decided to wait until the return of Dr. Albert S. Raubenheimer. educational vice-president. Hillhouse pointed out that Dr. Raubenheimer had been instrumental in the formation of the committee and of immeasurable aid during its life
