"The following month,” Swearingen said, “Nozaka stated in a self-criticism that the Japanese Communist party would shift back to a policy of direct revolution and that the party was linked with the international Communist movement.

“The internal threat will be more dangerous than ever, though, in the future,” Swearingen said.
This was indicated in a state-
ment by Premier Yoshiaa in October, 1951, which Swearingen read to the gathering.
Yoshida was quoted as saying,
“The security pact was concluded with the United States after taking into account the possibility that maintenance of internal peace may get beyond our control."
Swearingen discounted the contention of some analysts who believe Japanese Communism is not closely connected with Moscow.

Professional thieves, drawn by the practice of leaving keys in cars on crowded lots, may be moving in on SC, if the theft of four students’ cars in one month is any indication.
Three of the four students had their cars stolen from unattended university lots. They were left open with the keys in the ignition.
Sgt. L. D. Rattier of the Public Information division said that 28 autos have been stolen from this area since, September ,and there have been 147 thefts from autos since that time.
Ninety per cent of these are the result of open cars with the keys left in them.
Bad Situation
Everyone agrees that it's a bad situation, but the police department, the students, and administration are at variance over just what is wrong and what should be done about it. The police believe people should lock their cars no matter where they leave them; the administration thinks students could park farther away and walk to class; the students feel it emphasizes the need for more university parking space .adequately attended.
What to Do
While the police hit the keys-in-the-car situation as an open invitation to theft, the student viewpoint seems to be, "What else can

Must Hold Japan
The holding of Japan as one of the last United States outposts in the Far East is extremely important in the world-wide picture,” said Swearingen, who emphasized the importance of the conflict in that area with Russian aims by reading a statement from a confidential .Japanese Intelligence report. September, 1945.
The report said, “Before the outbreak of war between the United States and Russia, the Soviet Union will direct a violent anti-American campaign through the Japanese Communists and will strive to set up a Red government in Japan.”

Freedom by Fancy
“ ‘Goodbye My Fancy’ is a nice little play with a certain charm to it,” said William C. de Mille, head of the drama department, commenting on the Fay Kanin comedy to be presented at Bovard auditorium.
Performances will be at 8:30 p.m. Thursday, through Tuesday with a dark Sunday.
De Mille, who is directing the production, said the play was selected for its excellence and for its adaptation to the university level.
“This play,” said de Mille, "debates the same question as does ‘The Male Animal,’ that of freedom of education. The problem does not exist here at SC, but certainly does in many small colleges throughout the country, in which the Boards of Trustees hold sole domination over policy and activities.”
Comedy View
"Thus our production may be viewed for its comedy rather than for its didactic nature,’ ’he said.
Tickets are going fast for Thursday’s opening-night, said June Wooley, student producer. Tickets for performances to be staged in Bovard auditorium at 8:30 p.m. Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights, as well as for next Monday and Tuesday, are on sale in the ticket office, second floor.

This was considered one of the best plays of the 1948 season.
Free X-Rays To Be Ended
Chest X-ray service will end today unless a greater interest is shown by the students, faculty, and employees, according to Dr. Paul O. Greeley, director of the Student Health center.
“Since the beginning of the s ir-vey we have made many valuable j discoveries insofar as chest ailments are concerned and many people have benefitted by this service. It would be desirable if more students take advantage of this service,” said Dr. Greeley.
“This survey has been made possible by the Los Angeles County Tubercular and Health association and unless we make a good showing it will be discontinued for another year,” he said.
To date, there have been 62.6 sign-ups for this service; 65 being members of the faculty. Dr. Greeley continued to stress the disinterest shown by the students and faculty and urge all to take advantage of this service so it may continue throughout the remainder of the year.
university area for a half hour, looking for a parking space. He usually winds up by pulling into one of the overcrowded lots, leaving the car in the aisle or driveway and rushing off to class, already late. He leaves the keys in the car so that others may move it to get their own cars out. and the unattended auto is ready to be driven off by any passer-by.
Dr. Albert Zech, counselor of men. observed that "things . are tightening up right now and we have professional thieves" who perhaps are beginning to enter this area. This is a lucrative field for them, he added.
Take a Walk “There's plenty of space within three blocks from here. Of course, they might have to spend five minutes walking, but that’s better than having your car stolen,” Dr. Zech said.
As for the university providing more parking space, he said there are fewer autos now than there were several yares ago when the enrollment hit 17,000, and students observed the rules then better than they do now.
William Vanderheol, campus police officer, said the university dis-i courages leaving the keys in parked cars. The parking spaces are marked, and if students want to leave the cars in the aisle with the keys, that is their own responsibility.
Joy Riders
Over at the University Police station, the officers agreed that “educating the public to lock their cars and take the keys is one of our worst problems.”
Sgt. Jack A. Flannery of the auto detail said most of the cars are taken by joy-riders, but these are recovered very soon. There is about a 98 per cent rate of recovery, 80 per cent of them within a wek. Their big problem recently, he said, is with old junkers left sitting in the street.

•Action will be taken against students who park in unmarked campus areas, driveways, and other illegal parking lot areas, the Men’s council announced Friday in a statement to the Daily Trojan.
The council said that such action was necessary because of the increasing number of complaints by students concerning the park-j ing situation in student lots.
In particular, the parking of automobiles which prevent the exit of legally parked automobiles has become a serious problem. Many I students have been unable to keep appointments or report to jobs on time because they find their cars blocked by illegally parked automobiles.
“When a student must wait until 5 o’clock to have his car released that he wanted at noon, the guilty party must be dealt with,” a i spokesman for the council said.
It was pointed out that not only is such parking prohibited by law and subject to fine, but it is “extremely discourteous and reflect* unfavorably upon the student who is involved.
Students are asked to report the license numbers of illegally parked automobiles to the campus police, Ext. 409.
A study made by the Daily Trojan Friday revealed the state-owned parking lots at Exposition boulevard and Menlo avenue are available for free student parking, despite a 10-cent parking sign.
Immediately south of the Casa Loma apartments on Menlo avenue, an additional lot is being black-topped and will be available for free student parking within the next few days. Both lots will increase student parking facilities by approximately 500 automobiles.

Trying to read the mysterious placards posted along university streets and keep on the road at the same time proved difficult as drivers peered fixedly at the signs in trying to solve the rhymes.
Congestion at the YWCA was reportedly caused by dispersed signs reading, “Hey guys . . . Get wise . . . Get a shave . . . Join the Wave . . . Junior Prom."
‘Pretty Miss’ Stops Traffic
Thirty-sixth street traffic was stretched bumper-to-bumper to McClintock street early this morning as a result of five evenly distributed posters which eventually read, “Pretty Miss . . . Eve of Bliss . . . April in Paris . . . SC’s Fairest . . Junior Prom..”
