US Youths Will Be Freed By Russians
FRANKFURT, Germany, Sept. 26—(HE) — Two American youths who were seized by the Russians in July while bicycling through the Soviet zone will be released tomorrow, the U.S. High Commissioner’s oifice announced today.
The pair, Warren Oelsner, 21, of Oyster Bay, Long Island, and Peter Sellers, 19 of Radnor, Pa., will be turned over to Oelsner’s father in Hamburg, the announcement said.
The youths disappeared after asking U.S. authorities how to get permissi>n to bicycle through Soviet Germany. They were advised to go to Frankfurt.
Later advices said they were arrested for taking unauthorized photographs in the zonal border town of Boltzenburg. At the time U.S. officials said they believed the Russians were holding the youths hostage for the return of three Red Army deserters, who had fled to the American zone.
U.S High Commissioner John J. McCloy took a personal interest in the case and on Sept. 6 his office said Oelsner and Sellers were to be freed that day. The Russians failed to deliver them, however.

Phoenix Asks for Housing Units
by UNITED PRESS
Public Housing authority officials from Phoenix, Ariz., today submitted an application to the Federal PHA asking for 11,500 slum clearance housing units.
E. S. Foster, field director of the PHA, said the application would be forwarded to Washington with the recommendation of the regional office. Foster said there was a great need for slum clearance projects in Phoenix but the exact number of units would be fixed by the PHA in Washington.
is encouraging and indicates a real spirit of cooperation on the part of all campus groups,” he concluded.
ED HOPES
Ed Vierheilig said he hoped for a record vote so that the winner will have complete confidence that his program is the will of the student body.
“The result of the election must be clear-cut and decisive,” he said. “The winning presidential candidate must receive a vote of confidence from the majority of the student body, not merely a few interested parties.”
Reynolds predicted that the total votes will be greater than yesterday’s results indicate.
“I expect a calm and orderly election,” he added, “and we are prepared to make it so.”
DEAN LOCKS BOX At the beginning of each voting day the empty ballot box will be padlocked by Dean of Students Bernard L Hyink after inspection by the election commission and candidates’ representatives. The dean will retain the keys.
During the day Reynolds will personally supervise the placing of the ballots in the box wiiile an inspection team stands by.
After the polls close each afternoon the box will be sealed and initialed by the inspection teams. The box will then be placed in a bank vault.
This precaution is “essential,” Reynolds pointed out. Since the ballot boxes will remain sealed until Wednesday night, no one, including the Election commission will know what trend the vote is following.
10,000 BALLOTS
“Count will be made Wednesday night following the closing of the polls,” Reynolds added, “by a team made up of Dean Hyink, the Election commission, and representatives of both candidates.”
The ballots, 10,000 in number, are numbered serially and each will be accounted for either as a vote or as a void ballot in case of error on the part of a voter.
Ordered by Dr. Albert Zech, counselor of men, from a printing company whose name is kept secret, the ballots were sent directly to the bank where the votes are stored. A sufficient supply for each day’s voting needs will be drawn by the Election commission each morning.
NO FUSS—NO MUSS Three-hundred of yesterday’s ballots were cast in the first hour of voting, Reynolds said. Fifty students were waiting In line when the polls opened at 10:15. Late arrival of election personnel de-ayed the start 15 minutes.

Geer to Tell Of Colored TV
In response to an invitation from the Federal Communications commission, Dr. Willard Geer, professor of physics at SC and inventor of a color television receiving tube, flew to Washington last night to describe his invention.
The FCC asked Dr. Geer to testify at its color television conference Thursday and Friday. The hearing is expected to result in the designation of the system of color TV to be used in the U. S and of the date color broadcasting will be permitted.
The color tube invented by Dr. i Geer will work on present TV sets with the use of a converter. A flick of a switch would produce either colored or regular pictures on the screen.
Consisting of a receiving tube with an inner face composed of tiny pyramidal prisms against which three electronic guns bombard three basic colors, the color tube would not increase the price of a TV set by more than a third, according to the inventor.
Dr. Geer announced his invention last fall. It was the result of several years work based on an idea which occurred to him during a classroom lecture. The tube was patented Sept. 6, almost a year after RCA was defeated by Professor Geer in an interference suit involving 40 claims.
Horowitz to Make SC Bow
Perfectionist at the keyboard Vladimir Horowitz will make his first concert appearance on a local campus when he gives an all-Chopin program in Bovard auditorium Oct. 5 as part of the Founders day program at 8:30 p.m.
The concert will commemorate the 100th anniversary of the death of Frederich Chopin.
GIVES ADVICE Horowitz, a model for aspiring concert pianists, advises students in search of the imaginary shortcut to success “that there is no universal formula to guide them to the goal.” “A student must make his own mistakes in order to profit them,” he advises. Individuals are the product of their environment and experience. Thus, they react dif-fertently to the same situations. For this reason it is neither prudent or possible to follow a road which has brought rewards to others.
TAKES HARD WORK
The Russian-born virtuoso dismisses the idea of easy success in
Prof. Frank C. Baxter of the English department will be master of ceremonies for the program with President Fagg; Chancellor Rufus B. von KleinSmid; Albert S. Raubenheimer, educational vice-president; Robert D. Fisher, financial vice-president; and Tracy E. Strevey, dean of the College of Letters Arts, and Sciences, giving short talks.
The new stone will be placed by Dean Strevey and George Woolery, president of the LAS student body, while the old cornerstone will be handled by Judge Jesse W. Curtis of San Bernardino, only man still living from the class of 1887. and Gwynn Wilson, president of the General Alumni association.
This event and future Founders day ceremonies will honor Ozro W. Childs, John Downey, and Isaias Heilman, donators of the first university land 70 years ago.
Program plans are being formed and will include the winners of the 1890-1950 era-girl contest. Wednesday evening completes the celebration with the Horowitz concert in Bovard auditorium.

VLADIMAR HOROWITZ To Commemorate Chopin
Fraternity Pledge Hurt On Sorority House Roof
SEATTLE, Sept. 26—(UP)—An 18-year-old fraternity pledge was injured early today when he fell from a ladder to the roof of a sorority house near the University of Washington campus.
Police identified the youth as Daniel Alexander, Settle. He was treated for cuts, bruises, and concussion.
Police said Alexander had delivered a cake of ice to the Kappa Gamma sorority house and was climbing a ladder to paint the word, ice” on the house roof when he fell. He was covered with white paint.
reaching the goal with his view that talent is only a part of the musician’s equipment for success. The student must subject himself to discipline and hard work. Only with persistence and a belief in himself, will he have a chance for success.” “Even after he has attained a foothold,” Horowitz adds, “he cannot relax and rest on his laurels. To be a great pianist one must strive constantly for improvement. He should not aspire for this career,” Horowitz continued, “if he is unwilling to subordinate his other activities to its demands.’’
The discouraging aspects of this career are compensated by the rewards which are more than compensatory, he believes. “There can be no greater thrill or satisfaction than the assurance that through your music you can reach the essence of human beings — share beauty, joy, and sorrow with them.” APPEARS ON CAMPUS Horowitz, now in his twenty-first concert season in the United States, is making his appearance on the campus as a result of a suggestion by Dr. Raymond Kendall, director of the SC School of Music, that he play before some university audiences.
Tickets for tht concert are available at the SC ticket office at special reduced prices of 90 cents to $3, including tax.

FLUSHING, N. Y„ Sept. 26— O')
—Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitri Z, Manuilsky today replied 'o a Yugoslav appeal for peace with Russia by branding Marshal Tito’s Belgrade government a “bankrupt group of sharks.”
Manuilsky’s tirade before the United Nations General assembly against the Tito regime followed a speech by Yugoslav Foreign Minister Edvard f^ardelj, declaring that if Russia really had peace in mind, it should patch up its rift with the Yugoslavs.
Manuilsky charged the Yugoslavs with trying to sabotage the peace pact offer of Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Y. Vishinsky through its insistence that such a pact include small nations as well as big.
The veteran Bolshevik ridiculed Kardelj’s contention that Yugoslavia belonged to no bloc, charging that the Marshal Tito government long ago ehtered the camp of reaction.
Manuilsky accused the Tito government of joining forces with “fascist Greece” and repeated charges made at the recent trial of Laszlo Rajk that the Belgrade government plotted to overthrow the communist “people’s democracy” in Hungary.
Kardelj had contended earlier that Soviet threats against Yugoslavia were a “permanent source of war.”
Speaking of the Rajk trial. Kardelj said the “fantasy” of its accusations against Yugoslavia “have earned it a leading place in the history of international provocations . . . one is aghast at the morals of those who stage such gnm and cruel farces.”
Eruption of the Tito-Kremlin rift into the open at the assembly session coincided with news form Budapest that the Hungarian government had ordered 10 members of the Yugoslav legation to leave the country.
Manuilsky’s polemic came after Kardelj had called on Russia to C 011S 6 U fTI show its peaceful intentions bv withdrawing its threatening note lo Belgrade and negotiating a settlement either directly or through the UN.
Prodigal Pup to Return for Keeps
George* Tirebiter, the prodigal pup, replete in shaggy splendor, will once again be a darling of the grandstands.
Rumors that George, growing cranky with age, might be given his walking papers as official mascot were squelched yesterday when the Daily Trojan learned that the hybrid hound is here to stay—for the rest of the grid season, anyway.
The wayward pooch made his 1949 debut Saturday afternoon, stepping impressively to the Coliseum turf from his blue convertible, with a cordon of Knight bodyguards at his side.
And as long as George behaves himself, he has a free ticket to every Trojan game. The Knights are making sure he does, too— they've got him padlocked In a comfortable kennel. Except for his football outings, George has retired from the campus scene.
The time had come, the Knights figured, when George started turning up his nose at four-plys to go after much more attractive coeds’ ankles.
Few Frosh Vote; Can't Find Polls?
Only 106 freshmen voted in yesterdays election, Bob Raynolds, election commissioner, announced.
The light freshman vote was attributed to the fact that many freslimen don't know where the polls are set up.
