Japan Takes Step Forward From Semi-Feudal State
TOKYO, Nov. 3—(UP)—Japan today took another step along the road from a semi-feudal state to a constitutional democracy.
Emperor Hirohito, small bespectacled descendant of an imperial line some 2.600 years old, pronounced in high pitched tone to the Diet and over a nationwide radio network the words that transformed Japan’s new constitution from a document backed by the allies and passed by Parliament into a living charter for a nation struggling back to life from its first defeat.
The constitution, which outlaws war, strips the emperor of his power and guarantees human rights unprecedented in Japanese law, becomes the supreme law of the land in six months.
Statements from all political parties with the exception of the communists commended the constitution. The communists, who control six Diet seats, said they would continue to struggle for abolition of the emperor system and for a “people’s republican constitution.”
Austro-American Amity Goal of Karl Gruber
Austria’s desire for friendship with the United States was stressed by Dr. Karl Gruber, Austrian minister of foreign affairs, in his Founder’s day address Friday.
“Only a universal policy of common security may be a real pre-condition for the life of a little state like Austria,”
he said. “We know that the United

Contributions Needed For $5000 Quota; Further Support Urged
With collections standing at $1482.52 and a quota of $5000 to meet, Paul Wildman, community chest drive chairman, called upon all Trojans to “get their red feather” today.
Wildman said the chief reason the drive is short of its goal is that many organizations have not turned in their contributions to campaign headquarters. He called on all fraternity and sororities to turn in their donations to his office, 218 Student Union, by noon tomorrow. Alpha
States stands for such a policy.” Speaking at SC's 67th annual Pounders day celebration in Exposition park. Dr. Gruber, who represents his country at the United Nations General assembly, said that he is here on behalf of his people who are bewildered to find that Austria which was the first European country to lose its peace should be the last to regain it. AUSTRIA FIRST VICTIM v
Austria was the first victim of war,” he said, “and the first victim of appeasement.”
At present Austria is divided into American, French, British and Russian zones of occupation. Each of the four powers have a different philosophy so there are four different state administrations within the range of our country.” Stating that there are various ways in which a country can be controlled by several powers, Dr. Gruber said,
CONTROL ENFORCEMENT
All four powers could enforce control if they would realize that activities must be based on agreed plans. The lack of necessary cooperation among nations at the present time does not make this easy tc realize.
‘‘A second solution could be arranged if the four powers would agree to give controlling power to fifth trustworthy nation, but that could be done only in a world less disunited than ours.
ALTERNATE CONTROL Alternate control by the governing powers is a third possible solution to the problem, but this would require an enhanced mutual loyalty.”

Life Termed Line Conflict
“Life is conflict expressed by diagonal opposing lines.” Dr. Alois J. Schardt, director of the Olive Hill Foundation, concluded in his lecture to the School of Philosophy on the topic “Struggle and Compromise Are Expressed by Diagonal Movement.”
Using slides on past works of art throughout his lecture to illustrate his diagonal movement point, Dr. Schardt emphasized the effect of the use of ascending and descending lines in great paintings.
“The ages of the paintings are not important in bringing out the conflicts of life.” Dr. Schardt said, “since the elements and problems of lift are fundamentally the same.'*
This lecture ls Included in the second series being presented Jointly by the School of Philosophy and tiie recently organised Olive Hill foundation.
Dr. Schardt came to America in 1939 after working in Berlin on the staffs of tht Egyptian and Kaiser Friedrich museums and for the National gallery. He is also past director of the Dalcroze institute at Hellerau and the Morritsburg museum at Halit. He received a Ph.D. from the University of Wuerzburg.

Four Injured In Holy Land
JERUSALEM, Nov. 3. (U.P) — A government communique announced today that two Jews and two Arabs were killed and nine Jews wounded in the first Arab-Jewish clash in the Holy Land since 1939.
Three of the nine Jews wounded were in serious condition, the communique reported. Other informants said a total of at least 20 Jews and Arabs were wounded.
The fighting occurred in Hulleh-Hulleh swamp in the northernmost part erf Palestine. A group of Jews who went into the swamp to establish a new settlement was fired upon by Arabs from neighboring villages as they unloaded prefabricated houses from trucks.
The Jews returned the fire and the battle lasted until troops and police arrived.
The communique said the land the Jews were trying to settle belonged to the Jewish National fund.
(An Exchange Telegraph agency dispatch from Jerusalem said the fighting started early today when a party of Jews began plowing near the Jewish settlement of Khvar Blum. This dispatch said one of the two Jews killed was a police constable at Khvar Blum and that one of the Arabs slain was a woman.)
Palestinian Jews were striking today against deportation Friday of 1300 immigrants to detention camps on Cyprus. The immigrants, who tried to run the blockade in the schooner Said Dimitrio, arrived at Cyprus yesterday aboard two transport*.
Dean Deplores Power Politics
“There is too much power politics going on among thc nations who are trying to establish the peace treaties," Dr. Irl G. Whitchurch, dean of the Graduate School 1 Religion and the next pholosophy forum lecturer, declared yesterday.
Condemning foreign policies of the leading powers, Dean Whitchurch suggested that they have a more amiable attitude toward each other and greater concern for the basic economic problems of the lesser nations.
Dean Whitchurch, whose philosophy forum lecture will deal with modern value theories, joined the SC faculty in September, 1945.
He began his career as a religious educator at Northwestern university. For 25 years he was a member of the faculty of the Graduate School of Religion and taught the philosophy of religion and ethics.
He earned his Ph.D. at the University of Cornell, and his dissertation was published in the Cornell “Studies in Philosophy” series. He has contributed to many philosophical and religious journals. His article, “An Enlightened Conscience,” concerning spiritual attitudes, appeared in Harper’s magazine.
Unity of Action' Replaces Denominationalism Stress
In an attempt to take the stress from denominationalism and transfer it to unity of action, the Council of Religion, headed by Ray Scott, has rec^tly. undergone sweeping reorganization.

Jap Mandate Policy Restated By President
INDEPENDENCE, Mo., Nov. 3.— (UP)—President Truman tonight reaffirmed this country's intention to seek sole trusteeship of the Japanese mandated islands needed in the United States security program.
The Chief Executive’s restat-ment of this policy coincided with a report from Washington that he had been asked to do so by Secretary of State James F. Byrnes.
Truman’s position became known here today when he was asked about the Washington dispatch which reported that he might intervene within a few days in the dispute between the State department, which favors trusteeship, and the armed forces, which reportedly advocate ownership or permanent possession of certain of the Japanese mandates.
Through his press secretary, Charles G. Ross, the President said this government's policy was still what he announced in a news conference at the White House last Jan. 15.
At that time, the President announced that the Japanese mandated islands needed by this nation would be kept in our sole trusteeship as long as they are needed.
The President explained then, however, that this nation would of course ask the United Nations for authority to establish sole trusteeship over the islands we needed.
Ross told reporters on the front lawn of Truman’s home here that “this is still the policy.”
Ross went on to say that the President had told him there was “nothing new” in this situation and that Truman felt he had statetd the policy clearly Jan. 15.
Meantime, the word from Washington was that Byrnes wanted quick action by the President to restate or clarify American policy be-f o r e the trusteeship question comes up at UN General assembly.
Religion a body more interested in the religious welfare of the student body as a whole, than in the interests of the campus religious organizations.
A controversy has been in evidence behind the scenes at recent Council of Religion meetings, Scott indicated.
Scott, interested in the council’! doing concrete work for the postwar collegian, has Sought for the elimination of representatives from the various clubs simply becausp the individual belonged to a religious organization.
SCOTT’S CONTENTIONS
His contention that in many instances the council was composed of members uninterested and unsuited for the work, because the
Petitions for membership on the Council of Religion may be obtained today through Friday, in the office of the Council of Religion, from 9 a.m. until 5 p.m.
council had to take the representatives sent by the clubs, good ot bad, was bitterly opposed by many of the council members.
Scott wanted the council to be composed exclusively of members admitted by petition. His argument followed the flne that the caliber of council members would be raised as only persons interested in performing their work to the best of their capabilities would apply for membership.
He stressed that he was not prejudiced against members belonging to religious organizations but his his belief was that the prestige of the council would rise if his plan were adopted.
Eventually a compromise was ef* (Continued on Page Four)
