Sex-Extortion Jury Chosen
by UNITED PRESS
A jury of eight women and four men was selected late today to try models Helen Keller and Tom Hughes on charges they worked a “sex-extortion” racket in Hollywood.
The panel was completed after the Defense exercised 10 challenges and the State three. Attorneys for the two women said they were seeking a shock-proof jury that would be swayed only by evidence actually involving the defendants and not by lurid testimony.
Attorney Glen A. Lane told prospective jurors that recordings of an intimate bedroom scene involving * Miss Keller and talent school head Ben Klekner would be played at the trial.
Lane asked the panel if any would be embarrassed by such evidence or would be swayed by the fact that Klekner, a married man. allegedly had committed adultery' with Miss Keller. None of the jurors indicated any desire to be dismissed.
Miss Keller, red-haired and subdued, appeared in court wearing a black suit. She sat quietly at the counsel table while the lawyer questioned the panel. Miss Hughes, a plump brunette, pouted as she awaited start of testimony. She was wearing a gray suit and hat.
The two former models, both 26, were indicted last October by the County Grand Jury on 11 counts of extortion involving Klekner. The school head accused them of trying to shake him down for $3000 after making the recording of his alleged intimate moments with Miss Keller in a bedroom.
Miss Keller encountered Klekner momentarily while they were entering the courtroom and said to him, “You jilted me and broke my heart.” Klekner smiled thinly but said nothing.
SEN. WILLIAM F. KNOWLAND
Chine Tourist
SC to Hear Sen. Knowland
A strong critic of American policy in China, Sen. William F. Knowland, R., Calif., will give his views on that policy here Thursday. He recently returned from a one-month tour of the Far East.
His speech, sponsored by the ASSC forum committee, will be given in Hancock auditorium at 3:15 p.m.
Stopping in Honolulu last week, Senator Knowland lashed out at the State department's handling of affairs in China.
On his arrival in the United States Thursday, he assailed the State department’s China policy again, saying it had given “aid and comfort to Communism,” according to the United Press.
Knowland at that time called for the ouster of men in the Far East division of the State department responsible for the present policy.
Knowland inspected the Chinese war situation and conferred with Nationalist army officials on his tour. Ee was in Chungking two days before tlie city’s fall to Communist forces.
The California senator is on two Congressional committees—the Senate Committee on the Armed Services and the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy.
A native Californian, Knowland was assistant publisher of the Oakland Tribune when lie was drafted in 1942. He served in the Army in the ETO and rose from private to major.
In the early 1930s he was elected to the California State assembly and later to the State Senate.
His speech here Thursday will be followed by a discussion period.
Trojan* Don't Put Bftlow
Two cars in every slot is a novel approach to the campus parking problem. But the law of physics covering that feat hasn't been repealed yet.
At least that's what Bob Sweet, Sigma Nu advertising major, and attorney John Rotchford, 1425 West Pico boulevard, found out when both tried to park their cars in the same space on 36th street near the PE building yesterday afternoon.
Both drivers angled up to the single parking space at approximately the same moment, car fronts touching gently. Each then waited for the other to back up and move off.
CROWD GATHERS
Traffic piled up for a block on 36th street behind the two immovable motorists. Students crowdec around to offer advice. One fresh-
man law student was observed approaching both drivers with the same words:
‘Don’t let him bluff you. I saw it all and you're in the right. Wait him out.”
Sweet insisted that he spotted the parking place first.
“I saw a woman back out of that space,” he said, “and then waited for her car to get out of the way. I should have pulled right in.” Rotchford, on the other hand, was just as sure that he was morally entitled to the parking space. “I was here first,” he said.
WHY NOT FLIP?
An international relations major approached- with an idea for a Settlement. He suggested that the two contestants flip for the spot. “No,” said Rotchford.
Two cigarettes and 15 minutes
later, Sweet touched his starter button.
“Don’t let him bluff you,” advised members of the audience.
Rotchford, sensing victory, called to his antagonist:
“Are you going to be late for a class?”
“Yes,” answered Sweet.
“All right, then,” Rotchford said. “The field is yours.”
Rotchford pulled out. Sweet pulled in, and the 36th street traffic jam was over.

Baxter Readings Shifted to Noon
by EDNA SHAUGHNESSY
“If you haven't taken a course from Dr. Baxter, you haven’t been to college”
This campus saying testifies to the popularity of the genial professor of English language and literature who will give his annual Christmas readings at noon Thursday in Bovard auditorium.
Originally scheduled for 3:15 p.m., the readings were shifted to noon because of conflicting events.
“From the beginning, Christmas has been a celebration in a merry sense, and the first fiesta probably consisted of merriment and community singing. It is only natural that modern people should carry on the tradition,” says Dr. Baxter.

SC Cinderella Seeks Missing Wedgie Slipper
Cinderella wants her slipper back. The Prince Charming who has it doesn't need to try all the girls on campus—this Cinderella speaks right up and admits her name is Shirley Wilmore and she lives at the Kappa Kappa Gamma house.
It happened this way. Shirley was beating the books in the university library one afternoon last week. As many girls do, she had slipped off her shoes to give her footsies a much-needed rest. Came time to go, she fumbled for her shoes and . . . only one there!
It was all very mysterious . no friends about ... no suspicious characters ... so Shirley went home wearing one shoe. She’s waited patiently, lo, these many days, but Prince Charming's been slow, so now she asks that he turn it in at Lost and Found if he’s bashful. No questions asked, she’ll go along with a gag.
Oh, yes, it’s a black wedgie with scallops on the front . . . Hurry Prince Charming!

Nation to Observe Rights Bill Week
This is Bill of Rights week. One hundred fifty-eight years ago the first 10 amendments to the Constitution were adopted to protect citizens against the tyrannies of an unrestricted central government.
From Friday to Thursday, civic groups across the country will commemorate the anniversary of the Bill of Rights, Dec. 5, 1791.
In Los Angeles the Commemoration committee, under the chairmanship of Joe Crail, has planned a program “to provide information to assist speakers and groups in celebrating Bill of Rights week and in educating their audiences on the essence of our heritage of freedom.”

Russ Journal Found at SC
by AL LAMPERT
Following the report in yesterday’s Los Angeles Times that a Russian journal was being used in SC's library, many loyal Trojans scurried over to same to see if it was true.
Sure enough, in the World Affairs library, there it was. But as a propaganda publication, it ran a poor second to the issue our State department sends to Russia.
The survey followed a protest by Rep. George H. Mahon to the United States Office of Education against the appearance of the bulletin in Lubbock, Texas, high schools.
CAN BE MAILED
Mahon was told that the publication cannot be kept from the mails and tha it is up to local school authorities whether it is kept from students.
The State department also frowned on protests against the bulletin, presumably because suppression might provoke a retaliation ban against American publications in Russia.
The “forbidden pamphlet,” published by the Soviet embassy, is about half the size of the publication we send to Russia, but it isn't half as interesting.
LOTS OF INFO Among he “information” derived from the latest issue is the fact that Russian science produces
Atom Problem Still Ignored
Rep. Gordon L. McDonough, R., Calif., who introduced a bill authorizing the government to subsidize areas like Pershing Square as combination parking lots and atom bomb shelters, was interviewed at SC last week.
The interview, recorded on tape for later release, was conducted by Al Gotlieb, executive director of the Council on Atomic Implications, in 310 Bridge.
McDonough's bill would authorize the secretary of defense to provide for hearings throughout the country on the subject of civil defense, Gotlieb said.
UNION SQUARE COPIED The proposed Los Angeles project would be repeated in various metropolitan areas th->ughout the nation. Gotlieb said that San Francisco’s gigantic underground parking lot in Union Square would also be affected if the bill is passed.
The change from parking lot to shelter would be accomplished by installing ventillation, first aid stations, and fire equipment.
PRIVATELY BUILT The projects would be built by private construction companies along lines that would allow the underground parking lots to be converted into shelters as quickly as possible.
As McDonough introduced it, the bill provides that the Federal government pay for the expenses incurred in changing parking lots into shelters.
According to Gctlieb, McDonough's bill does not do anything to get at the root of the basic problem involved—the international control of atomic energy.
PROBLEM UNSOLVED “This is an example of how failure to solve the basic problems is affecting our pocket books and our lives,” Gotlieb said.
He said that at present there is no known defense against the atom bomb and that a shelter of the type proposed for Pershing Square would provide, at most, aid of a very limited nature.

Commerce Orientation To Ease Frosh Strain
Taking the “lost lamb’’ look from the faces of puzzled commerce freshmen will be the aim of a preregistration assembly planned by the Commerce council.

commerce orientation committee, is now planning a four-way program to let the prospective commerce majors know about the assembly.
Both freshmen and transfer students will be mailed letters by the committee, explaining purpose of the pre-registration meeting.
Notices announcing the meeting
will also be enclosed with the bulletin, and given to faculty advisers of the School of Commerce. In addition, Stolaroff’s assistants will canvass lines at health exams to seek out Commerce students and apprise them of the orientation session.
Purpose of the orientation meeting is to acquaint the new Commerce students with the university.
The meeting will be held early in February, according to Stolaroff. Members of Commerce professional fraternities and organizations will explain functions of their respective groups to the newcomers.
Working with the committee in arranging the assembly are John Mason. Warren Ettinger, Ed Isenberg, Tony Atamian, Vaughn Curtiss and Jim Middleton.
It marked the West Coast premiere of Britten’s gay work.
The story is laid in a small English village of Loxford, in the county from which Britten himself comes. The story involves an old English festival in which a Loxford belle is traditionally crowned Queen of May.
QUEEN CONTEST The requirements for Queen, however, are rather rigid and no girl in Loxford is sufficiently chaste enough to meet them on this occasion. The result is that tradition falls and for the first time a King Of May is crowned instead.
The candidate for this virginal position turns out to be a naive greengrocer, Albert Herring. After getting the prize money which goes with the crown, Albert gets drunk; generally shames the village, and succeeds in cutting himself loose from the bonds, which have held him captive for so long—his mother’s apron strongs.
de BOER IS HERRING In the role of Albert Herring last night was Hendrik de Boer. Theodore Uppman sang the role of the butcher boy, and Kalem Ker-moyan sang the role of the Police superintendent.
The role of Sid was sung by George Wood; Nancy was sung by Ewan Harbrecht; Lady Billows wa* Phyllj* Althof; Florence w» sung by Marjorie MacKay; Emmift by Mary LaCasella; and Cis by Dolores Peterson.

On his arrival in the United States Thursday, he assailed the State department’s China policy again, saying it had given “aid and comfort to Communism,” according to the United Press. Knowland at that time called for the ouster of men in the Far East division of the State department responsible for the present policy. Knowland inspected the Chinese war situation and conferred with Nationalist army officials on his tour. Ee was in Chungking two days before tlie city’s fall to Communist forces. The California senator is on two Congressional committees—the Senate Committee on the Armed Services and the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy. A native Californian, Knowland was assistant publisher of the Oakland Tribune when lie was drafted in 1942. He served in the Army in the ETO and rose from private to major. In the early 1930s he was elected to the California State assembly and later to the State Senate. His speech here Thursday will be followed by a discussion period. Trojan* Don't Put Bftlow Two cars in every slot is a novel approach to the campus parking problem. But the law of physics covering that feat hasn't been repealed yet. At least that's what Bob Sweet, Sigma Nu advertising major, and attorney John Rotchford, 1425 West Pico boulevard, found out when both tried to park their cars in the same space on 36th street near the PE building yesterday afternoon. Both drivers angled up to the single parking space at approximately the same moment, car fronts touching gently. Each then waited for the other to back up and move off. CROWD GATHERS Traffic piled up for a block on 36th street behind the two immovable motorists. Students crowdec around to offer advice. One fresh- man law student was observed approaching both drivers with the same words: ‘Don’t let him bluff you. I saw it all and you're in the right. Wait him out.” Sweet insisted that he spotted the parking place first. “I saw a woman back out of that space,” he said, “and then waited for her car to get out of the way. I should have pulled right in.” Rotchford, on the other hand, was just as sure that he was morally entitled to the parking space. “I was here first,” he said. WHY NOT FLIP? An international relations major approached- with an idea for a Settlement. He suggested that the two contestants flip for the spot. “No,” said Rotchford. Two cigarettes and 15 minutes later, Sweet touched his starter button. “Don’t let him bluff you,” advised members of the audience. Rotchford, sensing victory, called to his antagonist: “Are you going to be late for a class?” “Yes,” answered Sweet. “All right, then,” Rotchford said. “The field is yours.” Rotchford pulled out. Sweet pulled in, and the 36th street traffic jam was over.

Originally scheduled for 3:15 p.m., the readings were shifted to noon because of conflicting events. “From the beginning, Christmas has been a celebration in a merry sense, and the first fiesta probably consisted of merriment and community singing. It is only natural that modern people should carry on the tradition,” says Dr. Baxter.

The Prince Charming who has it doesn't need to try all the girls on campus—this Cinderella speaks right up and admits her name is Shirley Wilmore and she lives at the Kappa Kappa Gamma house. It happened this way. Shirley was beating the books in the university library one afternoon last week. As many girls do, she had slipped off her shoes to give her footsies a much-needed rest. Came time to go, she fumbled for her shoes and . . . only one there! It was all very mysterious . no friends about ... no suspicious characters ... so Shirley went home wearing one shoe.

One hundred fifty-eight years ago the first 10 amendments to the Constitution were adopted to protect citizens against the tyrannies of an unrestricted central government. From Friday to Thursday, civic groups across the country will commemorate the anniversary of the Bill of Rights, Dec. 5, 1791. In Los Angeles the Commemoration committee, under the chairmanship of Joe Crail, has planned a program “to provide information to assist speakers and groups in celebrating Bill of Rights week and in educating their audiences on the essence of our heritage of freedom.” President Fred D fagg Jr. is on the executive committee. Committee headquarters are at 307 West Eighth street. M.A. at the University of Pennsylvania, and his Ph.D. at Trinity college, Cambridge. England. He taught at Swarthmore college, Pennsylvania, and the University of California before coming to SC in 1930. According to Dr. Baxter, the Christmas celebration as it is known today grew slowly. About 100 years ago it was a “gastronomical orgy.” The spirit of giving has only recently developed. SLEEP STOPPER In a student poll taken before the 1943 Yuletide season. Dr. Baxter was strongly supported as the man who should “teach all the classes in the university.” He was chosen because of his ability to keep students awake, present material interestingly, and maintain a sense of humor. Dr. Baxter’s program will be recorded by station KUSC, and recordings will be mailed to the Armed Forces. Sponsored by the Council of Religion, the program will be introduced by Chaplain Clinton A. Neyman. Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol'’ will be read at both the 9 a.m. and noon meetings of Dr., Baxter’s English literature classes on Friday. Trojans Don’t Get I’ut Below DRIVE SAFELY Russ Journal Found at SC by AL LAMPERT Following the report in yesterday’s Los Angeles Times that a Russian journal was being used in SC's library, many loyal Trojans scurried over to same to see if it was true. Sure enough, in the World Affairs library, there it was. But as a propaganda publication, it ran a poor second to the issue our State department sends to Russia. The survey followed a protest by Rep. George H. Mahon to the United States Office of Education against the appearance of the bulletin in Lubbock, Texas, high schools. CAN BE MAILED Mahon was told that the publication cannot be kept from the mails and tha it is up to local school authorities whether it is kept from students. The State department also frowned on protests against the bulletin, presumably because suppression might provoke a retaliation ban against American publications in Russia. The “forbidden pamphlet,” published by the Soviet embassy, is about half the size of the publication we send to Russia, but it isn't half as interesting. LOTS OF INFO Among he “information” derived from the latest issue is the fact that Russian science produces Atom Problem Still Ignored Rep. Gordon L. McDonough, R., Calif., who introduced a bill authorizing the government to subsidize areas like Pershing Square as combination parking lots and atom bomb shelters, was interviewed at SC last week. The interview, recorded on tape for later release, was conducted by Al Gotlieb, executive director of the Council on Atomic Implications, in 310 Bridge. McDonough's bill would authorize the secretary of defense to provide for hearings throughout the country on the subject of civil defense, Gotlieb said. UNION SQUARE COPIED The proposed Los Angeles project would be repeated in various metropolitan areas th->ughout the nation. Gotlieb said that San Francisco’s gigantic underground parking lot in Union Square would also be affected if the bill is passed. The change from parking lot to shelter would be accomplished by installing ventillation, first aid stations, and fire equipment. PRIVATELY BUILT The projects would be built by private construction companies along lines that would allow the underground parking lots to be converted into shelters as quickly as possible. As McDonough introduced it, the bill provides that the Federal government pay for the expenses incurred in changing parking lots into shelters. According to Gctlieb, McDonough's bill does not do anything to get at the root of the basic problem involved—the international control of atomic energy. PROBLEM UNSOLVED “This is an example of how failure to solve the basic problems is affecting our pocket books and our lives,” Gotlieb said. He said that at present there is no known defense against the atom bomb and that a shelter of the type proposed for Pershing Square would provide, at most, aid of a very limited nature. music, graduating from the State i Academy, Vienna.

Both freshmen and transfer students will be mailed letters by the committee, explaining purpose of the pre-registration meeting. Notices announcing the meeting will also be enclosed with the bulletin, and given to faculty advisers of the School of Commerce. In addition, Stolaroff’s assistants will canvass lines at health exams to seek out Commerce students and apprise them of the orientation session. Purpose of the orientation meeting is to acquaint the new Commerce students with the university. The meeting will be held early in February, according to Stolaroff. Members of Commerce professional fraternities and organizations will explain functions of their respective groups to the newcomers. Working with the committee in arranging the assembly are John Mason. Warren Ettinger, Ed Isenberg, Tony Atamian, Vaughn Curtiss and Jim Middleton. It marked the West Coast premiere of Britten’s gay work. The story is laid in a small English village of Loxford, in the county from which Britten himself comes. The story involves an old English festival in which a Loxford belle is traditionally crowned Queen of May. QUEEN CONTEST The requirements for Queen, however, are rather rigid and no girl in Loxford is sufficiently chaste enough to meet them on this occasion. The result is that tradition falls and for the first time a King Of May is crowned instead. The candidate for this virginal position turns out to be a naive greengrocer, Albert Herring. After getting the prize money which goes with the crown, Albert gets drunk; generally shames the village, and succeeds in cutting himself loose from the bonds, which have held him captive for so long—his mother’s apron strongs. de BOER IS HERRING In the role of Albert Herring last night was Hendrik de Boer. Theodore Uppman sang the role of the butcher boy, and Kalem Ker-moyan sang the role of the Police superintendent.
