When scientists told us this was the only way, we believed them. Then gradually a myth began to spread —the myth of the “secret.” It was spread by sensational publication. Ignorant men believed it first; intelligent men soon believed it too. In vain the scientists pleaded for reason, for a review of the facts. Their pleas went unheeded. Their pleas are unheeded today. A strong group in our government has swallowed the myth of the “secret,” and on it they are hanging decisions which will determine the future of the world.

Warren, head of the medical division of the “Manhattan project,” and new dean of the UCLA medical school, is the featured speaker. Arrangements have been made by radio station KUSC to broadcast Dr. Warren's speech beginning at 8:30 p.m. Dr. Warren, ln an address to the faculty of the UC medical school at Berkeley Saturday, said that an all-out atomic war could poison the earth's atmosphere and eliminate humanity. Robert F. Smith, secretary-general of the CAI. will open the forum with a short, introductory speech after which Clayton Grimes, council member, will give a brief history of the CAI and its objectives. At Berkeley, Dr. Warren said the human race would be in danger of dying out in the next war because of sterility caused by radioactive particles. Foreign Policy Heads Forum Peace Series Northrop to Show Doctrines, Conflicts Of Various Nations “Foreign Policy,” the first subject of a series of four lectures entitled “Prerequisities for Peace” is the discussion topic planned by Dr. F. S. C. Northrop, master of Silliman college of Yale this afternoon at 4:15 in Bowne hall. Author of the new Book-of-the-Month club selection, “The Meeting of the East and West,” Dr. Northrop will attempt in his first lecture to analyze the ideological conflicts and doctrines of the contemporary world and show how the ideological and cultural conflicts of individual nations can be reconciled in a philosophy of culture. The lecture will supplement his book, but in the words of the author, will go beyond it in specific and practical applications. “The more who read the book, the more who wrill profit by and understand the lectures,” Northrop said. The book has been described by Time magazine as ‘‘a book which is so important it may well influence history.’’ The author who has been prominent as an educater, philosopher, and scientist, arrived in Los Angeles last night, concluding a 3000-mile trip to present the four lectures sponsored by the School of Philosophy and Olive Hill foundation. He will return to New Haven and Yale when his lectures are completed.

MTJ, and 1943. Jim Mitchell. ASSC president, made the following statement yesterday regarding Jesse Unruh’s resignation as chairman of the senate housing committee: “I should like to clarify my position. To begin, it will be desirable to restate the powers of the ASSC president in this regard. First, it should be realized that the powers of my office give me the prerogative of orally removing or accepting the resignation of any of my senate appointees at any time. This power not only has precedent within student governments but would also be valid under the laws of contracts. POWER JUSTIFIED “More important than the legality of this, however, is the fact that this is actually the only fair and practical method that can be used If it were necessary for a group to ratify appointments within that j group, then the appointments would amount to elections and consequently eliminate the primary purpose of the executive. “This privilege, of course, applies cnly to appointments within the ASSC senate, and would naturally not carry over to ASSC or all-university committees, as they are outside the governing body and subsequently subject to the ratification of that body. “Referring to Ed Prizer’s unwarranted editorial, however, I wish to state that I have no ‘ax to grind" nor do I wish to discriminate against Mr. Unruh. “If that were the case, then I would not have been so generous as to have appointed him to the chairmanship in the first place. He was appointee, nowever, because I felt that his energetic approach to the housing situation might result in positive action. “The result was very definitely a positive action. For. without authorization. Unruh started circulating petitions to send representatives of the ASSC in a childish motorcade to Sacramento. Not only was the martial aspect of this action uncalled for. but. by the vigorous expending of his ‘energies.’ Unruh placed the ASSC in a definitely em-barassing position in the eyes of the administration, the alumni, and the public. ACCEPTS RESIGNATION “Because of this action. I was very happy to accept Unruh's resignation and would like to add that if he had not resigned he would in all probability have been replaced. “The person that heads the housing committee must be a person (Continued on Pa*e Three) Blue Keymen Ready Troy For Conclave The Trojan campus is being groomed today, along with the Blue Key office, for the welcome of an expected 60 delegates in the western convention of the national honor fraternity.

Twenty-seven of the student* questioned advocated making atomic know-how available to the UN (with reservations), and eight did not feel prepared to offer any opinion on such short notice.

Lombard's basement laboratory-office in Hancock hall. Among the equipment destroyed by the fire were important experimental layouts for use in research work on contract with the armed forces. An overheated oven used in experimental work in the laboratory office is believed to have caused the fire, which completely gutted the room before being discovered. Group Moves To Sidestep Petty Politics' The All-University Forum committee met and passed it* most exacting test to date yesterday as it steered clear of the usual red tape ensnarl-ing campus organizations. The committee voted to continue as a functional organization serving the estimated 15,000 students of SC while exercising the powers vested in it by the university administration. A motion calling for senate administrative control of the committee was defeated after a heated debate. During the discussion, members of the committee explained to Manuel Real, interfratemity council representative, who presented the motion, why they thought senate control was undesirable. AMPLE OPPORTUNITY Bob Hillhouse. I. R. representative, reviewed the life of the committee since its formation last November. He pointed out that the senate was represented at the first meeting and had had ample opportunity since to show some interest in the function of the organization. He also explained the steering committee had been chosen from members who had shown an active interest in the organization. A motion by Bill Kraus, LAS, for election of a permanent steering committee was passed immediately. Dick Jorgensen, ISA, called for a specific date for the elections and a written report of the function and jurisdiction of the organization by the new officers. This motion was passed with little discussion. DATE NAMED Date for the elections was set for next Monday at 3:15 p.m. in the council of religion office off the student lounge. Bob Sandham. Trovet representative, spoke in defense of the present organizational setup of the group. He suggested the committee could function in the interest of the *tn-dent body better without sanat* affiliation. The administration ha# maintained a strictly “hand* off* policy toward the group to date, Sandham said, and there waa no reason to believe fhat restriothw measures would be exercised in tlie future. He also pointed out there wouM be a forum tomorrow night cosponsored by the committee and the Council on Atomic Implications, The program. Sandham said, has been prepared and would be presented for students without tha usual flurry of petty campus politics. LAS Slates Hindman Talk Dr. Wilbert L. Hindman will speak on “American Foreign Policy from San Francisco to Moscow’’ for his LAS Wednesday lecture series tomorrow at 3:15, art and lecture room. University library. Dr. Hindman stated yesterday: “The period from the San Francisco conference to the one in Moscow was a relatively brief peace time period in which the United States was avowedly committed to world cooperation for peace. It covers the foreign policy of President Truman through one half-term of office. With the present discussions of Greece, Turkey, China, Korea, Germany, and Japan, a stocktaking is in order.” Dr. Hindman will point out American foreign policy trends ol the last two years and indicate the major successes and failures we have had. The lecture series is sponsored by the LAS council. Carl Gebhart president, and personally supervisee by Dr. Harold von Hofe. chairmar of the German department. 4
