That old story of lookiing for a needle in a haystack has arisen, only this time it is a very important needle. To be more specific, the services of a doctor whose name is unknown are required for a more than worthwhile cause. The life of a 10-month-old baby may depend upon the success of this search.

FATHER MEETS STRANGER
With the above as a background, here is where the mystery begins. It seems that the sick child’s father met a strange man one eve-
that he had experienced the same trouble.
He remarked that his child had been cured through the efforts of a pediatrician four years ago. The stranger further stated that he had seen the doctor 10 weeks ago and that he was busy doing research work either at SC or at UCLA (the stranger couldn’t remember which).
HELP DESIRED
Tlie evening progressed and the two men parted. In his tired mental state the father didn’t quite grasp the importance of the conversation until the next day. By then he could not recall the stranger’s name.
The only additional information to the above story is that the child cured by the doctor is named Jimmy and that the doctor has a foreign sounding name. If there is
ning. and during the course of the anyone who can be of any assist-discussion the stranger remarked, j ance in this search, words would be atfer hearing the father’s plight,1 unable to express the appreciation
of the child’s parents. Those hav ing any leads as to the whereabouts of the doctor in question please call the Daily Trojan office immediately.
This same story is being run today in the Daily Bruin. It was requested that the Daily Trojan participate in the search. A child’s life is at stake. Can you help?
The Daily Trojan has assigned a reporter to the case of the “missing doctor,” and a concerted search through- the medical files at SC is underway.
SEARCH STARTED
Yesterday the Children’s hospital in Los Angeles, in which SC pediatricians work, was contacted, and Dr. John D. Lyttle promised the 6t that his department would do everything it could to help in the search. He said, however, that because of the lack of more specific information, he doubted whether his office could be of much help.

Speaker Says War Not Close
“The world is probably no nearer to war with the presence of atomic energy technology than it would have been without it.” This was the conclusion of Dr. Sterling M. McMurrin in his lecture on Cultural Implications of Atomic Energy which ended the philosophy forum series this semester.
Dr. McMurrin, assistant professor of philosophy explained, “The lethal power of atomic energy will not produce war if it comes . . . and if culture is destroyed by it in war, it might have been destroyed by some other power.”
Other factors which might be effected by the impact of atomic energy according to Dr. McMurrin are socia! arrangement, political organization, economic results, theoretical knowledge, and personal and psychological factors.
Councils Slug It Out
Trojans Soaked As Ticket Rain Follows Prank
by Rick Ingersoll
The local law reached out to numerous SC students yesterday, to pass out parking tickets in receipt for someone letting air out of the tires of a police car.
Two of Los Angeles’ finest neglected their duty for a few minutes yesterday, for something or other out of the line of duty, and returned to where their car was parked in the redfto find that SC scallawags had aroused their ire by deflating the Goodyears on the police car.
Not long to stand still in a crisis, the two policemen proceeded to have the tires refilled by a nearby gas station attendant. Then they returned for revenge.
TICKETS PASSED Proving that the law can’t be refuted, the two stopped at every car parked along University avenue, and passed out tickets which retail at $2. Not being content with just one ticket per car, the duo handed out two to some cars whose drivers had not returned to find ticket No. 1.
Persons sitting in their respective cars with motors running were not exempt from this dutiful ticket spree, as the same reward was given them. Attempts to explain to “John” the reason for their cars pausing momentarily were futile. Duty was put above all else.
GETAWAY FOILED One student, who viewed the police car approaching from the opposite side of the island on University avenue, proceeded to make a get-away, which not only resulted in a ticket, but a severe, caustic reprimand.
In an effort to cut off other parked cars whose drivers became aware of the oncoming, furious police, the patrol car cut across the street and started to drive down the wrong way of the one-way street.
To say nothing of endangering pedestrians, other innocent .cars were blocked for several minutes. But the police did their duty. They showed SC.
Moral: Crime does not pay.
Dobkin Throws Hat In Presidential Ring
Fourth Candidacy Announced in Letter
Stating Views, Two Planks of Platform
A fourth name was added to the list of ASSC presidential aspirants yesterday when Milt Dobkin, Blue Key president, announced his candidacy fjr the top student body office.
Present contenders for the office are Joe Flynn, Unity party candidate, and Johnny Davis and Bill Winn, tentative IFC nominees.
Dobkin’s candidacy was announced in a letter received by the DT, indorsing Dobkin on an independent basis. The let-*	1 *
ter, signed by 12 students, said that
the signers thought a fourth candidate for the office of president was necessary and that he should not be tied to any “existing party, slate, or pressure group.”
Dobkin said he is running on an entirely independent basis. He will have no slate of candidates and will owe no political patronage to anyone.
“My campaign will be based on my past record,” he said.
So far, only two planks of his platform have been worked out They are;
1—Expanding	power and responsibility of student government on an adult basis.
2—Student	government appointments on the basis of merit and not on a political patronage basis.
Persons indorsing Dobkin are Lois Alberts, Dick Barton, Katie Connolly, Dick Ford, George Grover, Keith H. Jones, Potter Kerfoot, Di-

Library Shows 1948 Western Books Display
Outstanding publications by western printers highlight the exhibit, “Western Books of 1948,” now display in the Treasure room, University library.
This traveling exhibit, sponsored by the Rounce and Coffin club of Los Angeles, started in 1938 to show achievements in the printing field west of the Rocky mountains.
Since then seven shows have traveled up and down the Pacific coast. The exhibits were canceled during 1943 and 1945 because of the war.
The display is intended to familiarize .western printers with annual productions of fine printing in the west, and to further popular interest in regional printing.
Both trade and privately printed books are included in the exhibit There are books published by amateurs as well as highly skilled professional craftsmen. The books are judged on their own merit and not one against another.
Twenty-two institutions, firms, and individuals submitted 52 books for the display, of these, 45 examples of 21 contributors were selected.
An example of work turned out by the Ward Ritchie Press of Los Angeles for 1947 is “I Married a New Englander,” Marion Almy Lip-pett.
Western or an Eastern People?” Dr. Townsend will discuss present day conditions in Germany which indicate that the German people secretly believe “another leader is needed.”
He stated that one of the reasons why he believes Germany is leaning toward an eastern philosophy, despotism and servitude, is evident in the laxity of the German people in accepting political responsibilities which American military government has attempted to give them.

His lecture will dip into 19th and 20th century history, developing the rise and fall of attempted political policies and economic issues.

The German professor stated that Hitlerism was not very different from the recrime of Kaiser Wilhelm. They both stressed a rigid governmental system which gave the people little freedom, and a minimum of opportunity to contribute politically.
