The lawyers were guests in the homes of American lawyers for a week. Hicks said that many fine friendships were formed during these visits.
The Englishman mentioned that there has been an exchange on a smaller scale between British and Polish lawyers in which delegates visit each other for talks and stays in the homes of native laywers and their families.
Hope Prompted
This smaller exchange idea prompted Hicks to express hope for such visits on the international scene between laywers of the Western Nations and those from Iron Curtain countries.
"We found the Polish lawyers willing to talk freely on a number of subjects we assumed might be too controversial,” Hicks reported.
Different Systems
I “Of course, their legal system differs from ours, but even with I that difference, we found we had common ground for our conver-! sation.”

Inflation became the issue, yesterday, distinguishing the Democratic and Republican Parties at an AWS-spon-sored debate on the 1960 poltical scene.
Gilbert Seaton, Republican, told the predominantly female audience that one of the most crucial areas of
the campaign was in the issue of ------------------------------------*
inflation. Democratic spokesman Paul Ziffren agreed that inflation was an important matter but argued that the Republicans were more responsible for the issue than the Democrats.
Seaton told the gathering that the Democrats are “trying to pull the economy up by its own bootstraps.” He suggested that government borrowing advocated by the Democrats would lead to inflation.
Seeds of Destruction
“Inflation brings with it the seeds of its own destruction— recession and depression,” the ex-president of the Republican Assembly in the 54th District said.
Seaton pointed out that under 1 Truman the cost of living rose 48 per cent, while und^r Tisen-

Dawg, the TEP mascot, is walking around with a scorched tail today, the result of wounds incurred by the animal during a fire at the fraternity last Sunday.
The fire began in the TEP pledge dorm near midnight. A crowd of Rowites soon gathered to cheer the local fire department’s efforts.
While TEPs chanted “Burn, burn, burn,” four fire engines and two police squad cars raced to the scene.
Clothes, a mattress and a rug were burned during the event which lasted a brief 20 minutes. Dawg sustained the only injuries when she got in the way of the burning mattress while firemen were carrying it out.
The fire was attributed to an electrial short in a clock in the TEP pledge dorm.

Is anti-semitism dead in Germany, or does it lie dormant, waiting for further eruptions?
Anti-semitism is not dead, according to the opinions of two experts in the field, Professor John T. Waterman, head of the USC German department, and Milton Senn, Pacific South-west director of the Anti-Deflamation League.
Dr. Waterman feels that the general German attitude towards the Jews is not one ol animosity. However, he believes that Germans in small communities have a stronger negative attitude to-
USSR Southland Captures Enthusiasm of USC Student
(Editor's Note: This i> the second in a series of Tuesday articles written by Heather Campbell, who participated in an experiment in international living in the Soviet Union this summer. Here she gives her impressions of the Soviet Georgia.)
* •* *
By HEATHER CAMPBELL
Having been exposed to some aspr'cts of life in the Russian Soviet Federated Socialist Republic, we experimenters to the Soviet Union turned our thoughts toward the next lap of our journey, the Georgian Soviet Socialist Republic.
Like the United States, the Soviet Union has its Georgia in the south of a nation where the natives speak the national language with a regional accent.
Our surroundings were less in-spirine than our neighbors, \yhile the Soviet trains were usually very clean at the beginning of a trip, soot accumulated in tnick layers in our cabins, particularly on our bedding. Since the heat was dreadful, we had to leave at least some of the windows in the corridor open for
ventilation.
Toward the end of the trip, we felt as though we were being preserved in mud.
On the train we were also introduced to the Georgian brand of hospitality. While in the dining car late one evening with ihree other members of my group, the waitress brough us two huge bottles of champagne and two equally huge bars of
chocolate, which are extremely expensive by American standards.
When we protested that we had not ordered this food, she told us that it was a gift from one of the Georgian passengers. An unknown to us until that moment.
When we at last pulled into the train station at Tbilisi, we were met by several young Georgian guides, most of them university students. Our first impression, at least on the part of the female members of the group, was that not only are the Georgian men tall and swarthy but they are also very handsome. Further investigation revealed that in temperament the Georgians resemble the Italians.
The day after our arrival, our sightseeing tour included a visit to the Polytechnic Institute in Tbilisi. There we were greeted with a familiar sight in unfamiliar surroundings—hundreds of students were milling around tlying to register for the competitive examination which would permit them to enter the institute.
Frosh to Pick Class Officials In Final Ballot
Freshman run-off elections will be held today from 9 a.m. to 4 p. m. in front of Doheny Library announced Art Kay, freshman election chairman.
Competing for the top Freshman office of president are Bill Broosamle and Gene Mikov.
Broosamle is running on a platform of leadership to learn. He stressed freshman orientation into campus life and organization without debating statutes in his platform.
Mikov emphasized a united Freshman Class for university- i wide prominence. With stress on social activities, he wants unity, spirit and progress.
Susanne Biaggi and Bev Wilson are in contention for the freshman vice presidency.
Miss Wilson, in her platform presentation, confirmed a belief in presidential advisorship ar.d active social functions.
A simple majority is required for the successful election of ASSC officers, Kay explained.
“A process of elimination has been adopted, whereby only the two candidates in each office having the most votes are entered as candidates for the final election,” he said.
An ID card showing freshman status is needed for voting privileges.
Kay expressed the hope that all freshman would vote. However, he said that past experience makes him feel that the turnout will be much smaller than that of the initial election last week.
wards Jews than do inhabitants , of urban areas.
“It would be ridiculous to say i that no one is left who hates j the Jews,” he cautiously added, j
Dr. Waterman believes that a wave of anti-semitism in Ger- • many could happen again at any time, as it did between January and March. However, it could also happen any other place in the world, he said.
"The number of Swrastika smearings is greater in this country than in Germany,” Senn said. “Reports of the German government show that much of the smearing was done there by youngsters with no political motivation.
Reports also show that the Communists were not the major factor in instigating the smearings, but they certainly approved of the actions.”
Many Sympathetic
“Many of the German people, from the government officials to ordinary citizens, have a great desire to be sympathetic toward j the Jews and help them as much as they can,” he said.
Dr. Waterman added that many American people have the mistaken impression that millions of Jews were executed in Germany. “The number of Jews in Germany was never more
than about 900,000, as in 1933. The number of Jews there today lies somewhere near 30,000.
he Nazis killed more Jews in Poland and the surrounding countries than they did in Germany itself,’* stated Dr. Waterman.
Official Action
Both Senn and Dr. Waterman agree that the official German government deplores anti-semitism and is doing all it can to check it. “The German government is making clear its position and its intention to take constructive action by sending vio-laters to prison and imposing fines on them,” they noted.
Rabbinical Aid
The head of the Rabbinical Council in Germany has even been invited by the government to help solve the problem of anti-semitism, Dr. Waterman said.
American people are appren-hensive of German anti-semi- | tism, Senn believes. However, he feels that Americans are encouraged by the quick reactions of the German government and people in suppressing signs of anti-semitism.
“The decent elements of Ger- j many are trying hard to right the wrongs,” concluded Dr. | Waterman.
the Democratic platform,” charged that inflation stemmed from I the Republican “tight money”
I policy.
“With tight money, the inter-; est on items liought on credit is raised, and this raise in interest ! increases the total price of the merchandise purchased,’’ he said.
Speaking in a slow drawl that [ contrasted effectively with Sea-1 ton's staccato presentation. Zf-fren charged that the Republicans were “mistaken” in concluding that inflation is checked by a policy of “light monev.”
“As interest rates go up, prices go up, and the only Republican answer to the problem is to raise interest rates even higher.” Ziffren said.
GOP Policy Blamed
Chairman of the 1960 California Democratic Convention. Ziffren argued that the Republican policy has been responsible for the failure of many small business in recent years. He argued that these bankruptcies lead to a decline in gross national product and an increase in unemployment.
He pointed out that more than half of the increase in price of living under the Truman Administration was due to the aban-doment of wage and price controls by the Republican Congress in 1946. The rest of the rise was attributed to the Korean conflict bv the Democrat.
Agency regulations. USC scientists said. There is absolutely no danger of them damaging property, power lines, aerials or persons because of their special construction and thin skin,” they t added.
Helium gas used to inflate the balloons is non-toxic and nonexplosive. The balloons, therefore, present no hazard whatsoever to property, aircraft or persons, the scientists said.
Because the balloons are to be tracked by radar, they are specially made with a mono-molecular film of aluminum coated on a microscopically thin plastic ; material. They are tetrahedral in shape—having four triangular sides—and 42 inches in diameter.
For better radar return, a ! thin, aluminized net is hung from the sides. Those balloons released at night will have a I small, standard Weather Bureau battery and light hanging from them.
The Hancock Foundation hopes to make balloon recoveries in Orange or San Diego Counties through notice of the location and the balloon's number, scientists said. They would also hope to have the balloons returned.
Dr. Robert E. Stevenson, director of inshore research for the Hancock Foundation, is in charge of the research project.
Water Bill Hit By Senator
By BOB COURTEMANCHE
State Senator George Miller Jr. of Contra Costa County upset hard-nose debate tradition after arguing against. Proposition 1 at a USC Public Forum Saturday when he said, after all, that “Water Bill” will get the voters’ OK in November.
The event was a forum on the proposed California Water Resources Development Bond Act, sponsored by the USC School of Engineering Saturday morning in Hancock Auditorium.
This bill has been one of the major points of controversy for the coming election, -snd ha*7, been linked in many respects with the North-South faction disputes in California and the Reapportionment Bill, Proposition 15.
Speaking in favor of Proposition 1 was Harvey O. Banks, director of the State of California Department of Water Resources.
Alfred C. Ingersoll, Dean of
the USC School of Engineering, presented the historical background, and Los Angeles County Counsel Harold W. Kennedy the legal background of the water supply problem.
Dr. Norman Topping, USC | President, opened the program, and Harold E. Hedger, retired chief engineer of the Los Ange- 1 les County Flood Control District, was moderator.
Admitting from the platform that his argument was in effect j only so much water over the dam (and possibly into Southern California), Senator Miller nevertheless stressed the idea that the bond issue as set up offers no j actual guarantee of water forj California.
Bond Amount
Senator Miller argued that the amount of the bond issue, though inadequate to cover the j extensive dam and flood control projects necessary before the project will even begin to produce revenue, will exJaust the bond- j
ing capacity of the state, jeopardize school and municipal financing and deplete th’ state’s jpecial fund for years to com?.
He suggested that there are j good alternatives to this “contusion” and catastrophe of disregarded deadlines ”
Banks, whose talk preceded the senator's, stressed the urgency of California's water needs, particular in those Southern regions whose water needs are accelerating dangerously.
Loss Danger He pointed out that Calfor-nians are in danger of losing much of their present Colorado River water supply, both through j Federal litigation and through increased use in the upper i iver i basin.
Banks said the Federal Government is already doing its share, and local governments cannot handle the problem, so the responsibility for action is left to the state.
Drought and the drop in the water table are also contributing I
factors, but Banks drew an analogy of preparedness with the time of an opposite problem:
“People opposing the State Water Project are the same kind of people who opposed Noah when he was building the Ark. Yet, when the deluge came, he was ready and they were annihilated.
County Counsel Kennedy pointed out that a 1928 State Constitution amendment established the doctrine of “the reasonable and beneficial use of wa-er” to offset the competing “unlimited riparian rights” of landowners along source streams.
He stated that Californians should stoutly resist federal claims under the Treaty of Gua-dalupe-Hidalgo to title of all unappropriated water in several western states, including the Colorado River source.
Dean Ingersoll gave a rundow# of California's attempts to solve its ever-expanding water needs problems since its entry into statehood.
