United States mission to the UN, the state department, congress, and other appropriate agencies.
The recommendations include suggestions for the removal of Soviet-American differences, such as the proposal that ‘America should take no steps in the strengthening of the territorial defenses of any other nation except through the UN.” and another provides that “all legislative investigations of un-American activities be dispensed with and be placed under judicial authority and a fair hearing should be given federal employees of alleged un-American activities.” MARSHALL PLAN
Lt. Paul W. Freestone of the j University police division last i week issued a warning to students that police are in-: structed to crack down on violators of the no-parking regulation on University ave- j nue between 34th street and Exposition boulevard.
“The violation of parking,
regulations on University avenue is | one of our biggest headaches.” Lieutenant Freestone said. “We have received complaints from the fire department that they can’t get their equipment through because of j cars being parked on both sides of the avenue.”
RED ZONES
Outlining parking restrictions in the campus area. Lieutenant Freestone pointed out that the red zones at the intersections of 36th street and University avenue, 36th and Hoover streets, and 36th street and McClintock avenue were set up by the city street traffic engineer for the safety of pedestrians.
•'However, many accidents have occurred at these intersections because students have illegally parked vehicles in red zones, causing motorists’ view of pedestrians to be obscured and vice-versa." the police officer said.
Angle parking in marked zones on 36th street between McClintock and Vermont avenues is permitted, but citations will be issued to students who park in the triangles at driveways and intersections in this area. Police have received numerous complaints from home owners on 36th street who report that students do not observe this regula-! tion.
ONE-HOUR LIMIT
Police have not enforced the one-hour parking restriction on Figueroa street. Jefferson boulevard, and Vermont avenue during the past . semester, but beginning today a ! close check will be made of cars i parked on these streets, according to Lieutenant Freestone.
‘ This enforcement has been ne-i cessitated by complaints from mer-chants who say their customers are unable to find parking space be-| cause of the prolonged parking on , these streets.” he said.

Final plans have been completed to make the all-U Winter Carnival ball the biggest dance in SC’s history, Johnny Davis, chairman, said Friday.
Bids for the dance Friday at the Hollywood Palladium are $3. They will be on sale in the SC ticket office for the rest of the week.
Ten bids have lucky numbers which will win their holders two free cartons of cigarettes. The winning numbers have already been picked by Dr. Albert Zech, assistant dean of men, and will be published in the DT on Friday. Lucky bid holders can present either the bids or stubs at the ASSC vice-pfesident’s office. 230 Student Union and pick up the cigarettes.
BIG PLACE
The Hollywood Palladium was picked for the all-U dance because its huge dance floor and more than adequate lounging room should eliminate crowded conditions experienced at previous all-U dances.
Designed to be a combination fc allroom and night club, the Hollywood Palladium is capable of handling over 11.000 people with ease. The elaborate night spot has the distinction of haring one of the only circular dance floors in the world. The floor is 142 feet across and its rock-solid maple boards are inlaid on end like a bowling alley.
Besides having many large lounges off the dance floor, there are 500 tables downstairs and 700 in the spacious balcony which overlooks the floor and bandstand. Two soft-drink bars, a food service, and other facilities offer refreshments.
MUSIC BY WOODY Providing music for both dancers and listeners will be the featured band of Woody Herman and the
NSA Proposal Waits Approval Of University
Committee To Draft Plans for By-Laws Of SC Organizations
The pot that finally came to boil Wednesday night when the ASSC senate accepted affiliation ! with the National Student associ-j ation now rests for approval on the decision of the university administration, Milt Dobkin, chairman of the senate rules committee, said Friday.
-Ratification of the NSA regional constitution is to follow before the association can be a functional part of the national organization,” Dobkin added. This, he said, will not be difficult since the contexts patterned after the national constitution are well understood.
UNIT TO MEET
Diane Lockhart, temporary chairman of the planning commission, announced Friday that a temporary committee consisting of senate members and some interested student body leaders will meet Tuesday to draft a plan of by-laws from which the organization will func tion.
This advance planning by the committee is intended to forestall delay in active participation of NSA. in the event of the administration’s acceptance of the affiliation.
INTERVIEW STUDENTS
Interviews of all students interested in working on campus in NSA functions are scheduled for next week. The interviewing committee is interested in those students concerned with student government. Results of interviews will be announced when the structural position of NSA is determined.
While a squadron of military fighter planes flies overhead, a police motorcycle escort will head a parade leading the Freedom train into the Los Angeles exhibition area from Figueroa street and Exposition boulevard at 8:30 this morning.

General Studies Requisites Listed
Confusion on the part of students and advisors about general studies 54ab has led the general studies office to clarify the requirement again.
All students must meet the four unit requirement except those covered by the acceptable exemptions and 'substitutions. Those students who have taken history 77 or 177, political science 55, 130a. or b, 190a or b. or public administration 110a or b are excused from general studies 54b, but must take general studies 54a.
Transfer students who have completed % survey course in American history may omit general studies 54a and those with credit in American political institutions or United States constitution may >mit 54b.
Student support of the Freedom Train is not being given, Joe Verdin, head of SC Freedom Train committee, said Friday. Approximately 227 students have volunteered to hand out pamphlets, while more than twice that number is needed.
The cooperation of independent students has far exceeded that of campus organizations, according to Verdin. Outsiders have had to be called in because of the lack of support.
Of the 80 Knights who are sponsoring the SC supervision of the train, 15 have volunteered to help. Other organizations who have volunteered are Squires, Spurs. Amazons, Willard hall. Harris hall, and EVK hall. Of the sororities on campus. Delta Gammas came through with 23 volunteers. Lila Cal bom. Nancy Lloyd, and Julia Millikan are working with Verdin on arranging for volunteers.
Verdin stressed that volunteers will be wrelcomed any time during the four-day stay of the Freedom Train, in the Knight office. 232 Student Union.

Climaxing a 10-day, American heritage rededication celebration, the arrival of the seven-car red, white, and blue painted train is expected to be witnessed by thousands of Los Angeles residents.
The train will remain on the Pacific Electric siding at Exposition boulevard adjacent to Harris plaza for four days.
PRESS, MAYOR FIRST
A press preview and inspection of the train at 9 a.m. by Mayor Fletcher Bowron’s Citizen’s committee will precede the public opening of the train at 10. The train will remain open from 10 am. to 10 p.m. daily during its stay here.
Today has been designated as Kids' day, and Freedom train officials have asked that adults refrain from visiting the train until after 5 p.m.
An almost continuous program of entertainment on the huge stage at Exposition and University avenues will be provided, commencing at 10 this morning with a concert by the Los Angeles police band. From 11-12 a gala show by the motion picture industry is scheduled, with Margaret O’Brien. George Murphy, Jane Powell, Mickey Rooney, Gene Autry, and other stars participating.
SCHEDULE MUSIC Other programs will be presented throughout the day by the Los Angeles Mexican Tipica orchestra and the combined naval base bands. A concert from 8-10 p.m. by the Burbank symphony orchestra is also scheduled.
Officials estimate that 2.600.000 people will see the train during its stay in Los Angeles, although only 40,000—approximately 10,000 per day —will be able to go through the train and view its priceless historical documents.
Visitors will enter the train from the north side.
REAL PROTECTION Nearly 100 documents are aboard the train, many of them protected by special bulletproof glass. A detachment of marines is stationed on board the tr*.in to protect its valuable cargo.
In a special ceremony this week the flags of the 48 states and several United States territories will be presented to the American Heritage foundation to be carried aboard the Freedom train until it completes its nation-wide tour. The flags were flown to Los Angeles for the presentation to the train as gifts of the governors of the states and territories.
Students Help World Peace, Benton States
International understanding can best be achieved in this troubled world through the fullest possible cultural exchange, specifically through the exchange of students, teachers, and scientists.
So stated Dr. William Benton, former assistant secretary of state and original planner of the state department’s “Voice of America." Friday evening.
TO ASSIST STUDENTS Speaking before the annual winter meeting of the Phi Beta Kappa Alumni association, southern California chapter. Dr. Benton told the group that the United States, under the Fulbright act, plans to make available over the next 20 years $140,000,000 to assist students, teachers, and scientists.
He predicted that the number at such exchanges “surely will run into the tens of thousands.”
Dr. Benton favors bringing at least 50.000 foreign students a vea» to this country, he said. In the past 40 years 5600 Chinese have been enabled to study in the United States by the Boxer Indemnity remissions. In the last If years 3000 Latin-American students have come here with the assistance of the Institute of In ter-American Affairs and the state department.
RUSS BALK Although Russia has refused to acknowledge offers by the United States regarding cultural-exchange projects. Dr. Benton emphasized that efforts to communicate with the Russian people must continue.
Other speakers introduced by Chancellor Rufus B. von KleinSmid were Dr. Clarence A. Dykstra. provost of UCLA; Dr. Arthur O. Coons, president of Occ’dental college; and Dr E. Wilson Lyon president of Pomona college.

Thibaud Here For Lecture
Jacques Thibaud, violinist, will speak in Bowne hall today at 3:15 on “Remembrances of Great Artists.”
All music classes including private lessons will be dismissed for the occasion.
Mr. Thibaud's career is as colorful as his music is brilliant, his manager. Jrwin Pames, says. Born in Bordeaux of a musical family, his father gave him his first music lessons. At 13 he entered the Paris Conservatoire and three years later received the Prix de Conservatoire, music award. His first public performances were in the musty Cafe Rouge located in the old latin quarter of Paris.
During the war Mr. Thibaud was active in the French underground and received many honors, including the title of commander in the Legion of Honor, the highest honor that Fiance can bestow.
He concludes a United States tour of three months in Chicago and will proceed to Mexico City for a tour of South America. He will return to Europe July 1.
Only other Los Angeles appearance of Mr, Thibaud will be at the Wilshire-Ebell theater tomorrow evening.
“The Facts of Atomic Energy* as given by Dr. Richard E. VoU-rath. professor of physics, will comprise tomorrow's philosophy-foruxn discussion, the second of the spring-semester series on “The Implic*-! tions of Atomic Energy.”
Dr. Vollrath has done extensive ! research on atomic structure and is considered an authority in nuclear physics. He came to SC ia 1931 from, the California institute of technology, where he was a national research fellow in physics.
The Bowne hall lecture at 4:14 tomorrow will prelude the eight forum meetings to follow, whicb will view the implications at atom-ic energy in various fields at study.
