HAS DEFINITE VIEWS
Congressional reorganization is one of the subjects on which Senator Humphrey holds definite views. He recently told the New York Herald Tribune forum:
‘T had not long been a member of the Senate before I discovered that there are 28 stages in the enactment of a law and that at each of these stages on the legislative highway, a few legislators can lurk, like the pirates of Tripoli, and take toll of the passing traffic.”
Humphrey believes that congressional reform is necessary if the legislative branch of our government is to work at peak efficiency and is to maintain its responsibility •to the people. Many of these reforms were suggested by the La-Follette plan and later made into lew by Congress. However, Humphrey believes that there is still much to be done, particularly in the area of the legislative caucus.
ELECTED MAYOR
Re.'orm and reorganization have been a Humphrey trademark since his entry into public life. He was elected mayor of Minneapolis by the largest majority in the city's history. The new mayor found a city that, in gangland parlance, was ‘ wide open.” Working 18 hours a day—in three years as mayor he had dinner home only 25 times— he gave Minneapolis what even his critics admitted was ah honest, efficient government.
He was re-elected mayor with the backing of the city's Republican newspapers, and gathered an even-larger plurality, carrying every ward in the city. His popularity as mayor probably accounts for Humphrey’s election as the first Democratic senator from Minnesota.
Senator Humphrey's appearance today is being sponsored by the All-University Forum committee. Today’s program is the first in a series that will bring prominent personalities to speak on campus, according to Mrs. June Louin Tapp, chairman of the forum committee. Plans are being made for a Repub-

Everybody gets into the act tonight when the dogs, actors, and audience gather in the Student Union lounge at 8 to put on the play “The Milky Way.”
ation now is the source of revenue to finance the structure. Under the present setup, the university spends about $80,000 a year for health service. Rough estimates indicate an average yearly cost , of $16 to $20 per student.
The first floor of the building will contain a clinic with a staff of five nurses and three or four doctors on duty at ali times.
The second floor will have a 22-bed infirmary which can be expanded to 40 beds in case of emergency.

director of the play. “Crescent style ’ seating puts the actors in the middle of a semi-circle of audience. Members of the audience get a feeling of easy familiarity with the actors and understand the play better with this approach, Palmer said.
HAS DOG ACTORS
“The Milky Way,” complete with two St. Bernard dog actors, is the stcry of a mild milkman who accidentally becomes world's middleweight champion.
The title role of Burleigh Sullivan, the milkman, will be played by Bill Means. A firm believer in authentic characterizations, Means has been spending his spare time visiting milk plants and looking in on fights in a local gym.
Jack Drummond will be Speed McFarland, the champion. Gabby Sloan, McFarland’s colorful and explosive manager, will be interpreted by Wesley DePue.
FIRST APPEARANCE
The part of the milkman's sister, Mae Sullivan, will be played by Gloria Murphy. Miss Murphy has appeared at the Pasadena Playhouse and’* on several television shows. This is her first appearance with the Crescent theater group.

tenband, and Bill Rowlson.
In the movie version of the play, “A Kid From Brooklyn,’’ the lead role was played by Danny Kaye.
In the play, the milkman gets into his plight when a newspaper reporter's mistake credits him with a knockout over the world champion in a street argument. The fighter's manager realizes the damage this notoriety can do and decides to profit from the mistake by making a fighter of the milkman. Through a series of fixed fights, he builds him up to be a contender for the championship.
“The dialogue is continuously uproarious,” said Palmer. “The milkman liked the fame but he didn't want to fight, and this brings on a lot of laughs.”
PRESENTS USUAL SHOW
Bergen will present his usual show with Charlie and Mortimer Snerd and in addition, Celeste Holm, academy-award-winning actress, will be special guest star.
Part of the show will be devoted to a "Scandinavian trip” for Charlie and the presentation of the Scandinavian Oscar, the “Olaf.” The award consists of a 14-Lnch gold cup filled with herring.

Parking Plan Shifts Gears Next Week
SC's first comprehensive parking survey, “Operation X.” which now bears personal approval by ASSC President Bob Padgett, will go into full swing after the current 10-week exam period.
At one time temporarily stymied by lack of funds, survey plans received a go-sign Monday when Padgett, ignoring Senate disapproval reached into his $2200 president's budget for the necessary cash.
“Operation X,” will cost each student less than 1 cent, John Truitt, chairman of the parking committee, stated.
What will the students get in return for this expenditure? Truitt came up with an answer as he discussed the operation.
16,000 WILL ANSWER “In addition to getting a possible solution to the parking dilemma, the students will be a part of the largest student opinion poll ever undertaken at SC, he announced.
Sixteen thousand students on campus will be called on to make the survey a success. Questionnaires will be printed, listing pertinent questions dealing with parking, and will be passed out during classes to every day student on campus. Attached to each questionnaire will be IBM cards on which answers should be written.
Possible questions dealing with such issues as student counseling and faculty rating may be included.
“Solution of the problem cannot be obtained until we know just what the problem really is,’ Truitt declared.
FOUR PLAN STAGES “Operation X” has been divided into four main stages:
1. Determination of the actual legal parking capacity on and around campus.
2. Questioning students to determine the number of cars brought to campus and .the days and hours they are parked here.
3. Using statistics obtained from the survey to make a comprehensive report of the problem as a whole and to reach a solution through the student and adminis-tratiive action.
4. Taking necessary precautions against recurrence of the problem.
“First step of the plan, the street survey, under the direction of Brad Bassett is well underway and will be finished this week,” said Truitt.

Tentatively scheduled for Bovard auditorium in the week following Thanksgiving vacation, the debate will be sponsored by the Daily Trojan in cooperating with the Daily Bruin.
Topic of the debate will be announced later this week or early next week. Some suggested topics are:
“Resolved, that it is better ta be married than to be chased,” and “Resolved, that students have more to offer the faculty than the faculty has to offer the students.”
Incidentally, the Yale men took the negative side of the “dishonor-death” debate and won.

Dame fortune d e c i d ed things weren’t bad enough here. She frowned a little harder yesterday.
And so—
The crowning blow to I Coach Jeff Cravath’s Trojan football squad, already hanging on the ropes from one of the biggest injury lists in the history of collegiate football, came yesterday when doctors announced that Jim Powers, star quarterback, definitely would not play against UCLA Saturday and may be through for the season, due to a chipped hip bone.
The injury hex could not have struck the Trojans at a more vul-! nerable spot. Four weeks ago Wilbur Robertson, second-string quar-: terback, suffered a broken jaw to | sideline him for the remainder of the campaign.
GIFFORD OUT Last week Frank Gifford, who was moved into the second-string signal-calling berth after Robertson's injury and who was the ace conversion kicker of the team, came down with appendicitis, was operated on, and is probably out for the rest of the year.
Thus when the hex struck down Powers, it left Troy with one quarterback, period. He is Dean Schneider, who has looked good at fullback in reserve roles this year, but has never played one play at offensive quarterback in collegiate football for the Trojans.
Powers, being one of the top T-formation quarterbacks in the nation this season and certainly one of the country's finest passers, was, naturally, the key man in the Trojan offense.
Without Powers, the SCers are expected to be from two to three touchdown underdogs for their traditional clash with the crosstown Bruins in the Coliseum Saturday.
FIRST TIME An interesting sidelight to Powers’ injury is the fact that this is the first time in three years of varsity football at SC that Jim has (Continued on Page 3)

Atomic Pile Subject of CAI Talk
An insight into an atomic pile, “birthplace” of atom bomb materials, will be part of the second and concluding “layman's” lecture on atomic energy before the Council on Atomic Implications in 310 Bridge at 1:10 this afternoon.
The department of chemistry's Dr. James C. Warf will be the speaker.
In a preview to his lecture, Dr. Warf explained that an atomie pile was built something like this: Ores called pitchblende and car-notite are refined and uranium metal is the end product. The metal is composed of a large percentage of U238 and a lesser percentage of U235.
INGOTS INTO RODS Ingots of uranium are converted into cylindrical rods. These, in turn, are cut into short sections and encased in aluminum to keep them from corroding.
The aluminum encased uranium rods are then set into a graphite base. The graphite serves as a moderator and slows down fast moving neutrons which result when fissioning of U235 occurs. The neutrons must be slowed down or moderated, in order that the chain reaction may continue, he said.
Dr. Warf said that water is used as a cooling agent in an atomic pile very much as water is used in an automobile radiator.
PLATONIUM RESULTS From atomic piles, he said, come such products as plutonium, used in atom bombs, and various radioactive isotopes, which are being used for medical and scientific purposes.
Dr. Warf told the CAI last week about the basic sources of energy and matter. He began wiih an explanation of solar energy. In the sun, he said, four atoms of hydrogen. a light element, are required to create one atom of helium.
Tryouts to Start For Chest Jobs

Parking Plan Shifts Gears Next Week SC's first comprehensive parking survey, “Operation X.” which now bears personal approval by ASSC President Bob Padgett, will go into full swing after the current 10-week exam period. At one time temporarily stymied by lack of funds, survey plans received a go-sign Monday when Padgett, ignoring Senate disapproval reached into his $2200 president's budget for the necessary cash. “Operation X,” will cost each student less than 1 cent, John Truitt, chairman of the parking committee, stated. What will the students get in return for this expenditure? Truitt came up with an answer as he discussed the operation. 16,000 WILL ANSWER “In addition to getting a possible solution to the parking dilemma, the students will be a part of the largest student opinion poll ever undertaken at SC, he announced. Sixteen thousand students on campus will be called on to make the survey a success. Questionnaires will be printed, listing pertinent questions dealing with parking, and will be passed out during classes to every day student on campus. Attached to each questionnaire will be IBM cards on which answers should be written. Possible questions dealing with such issues as student counseling and faculty rating may be included. “Solution of the problem cannot be obtained until we know just what the problem really is,’ Truitt declared. FOUR PLAN STAGES “Operation X” has been divided into four main stages: 1. Determination of the actual legal parking capacity on and around campus. 2. Questioning students to determine the number of cars brought to campus and .the days and hours they are parked here. 3. Using statistics obtained from the survey to make a comprehensive report of the problem as a whole and to reach a solution through the student and adminis-tratiive action. 4. Taking necessary precautions against recurrence of the problem. “First step of the plan, the street survey, under the direction of Brad Bassett is well underway and will be finished this week,” said Truitt.

Miss Lee, a student of Frans Hoffman, sang the lead in 'Carmen” at the Hollywood bowl under the direction of Leopold towkowski in 1946. She also sang the lead in Kurt Wiel s “Street Scene” at the bowl in the following year. Last year she sang the lead in Benjamin Britten's “Rape of Lu-cretia” at the Wilshire Ebell. In the same year she sang “Fauct” in the New York Metropolitan under the direction of Jerome Hines. Miss Lee will be a soloist in the Bach Festivals which are now being rehearsed. Her accompanist today will be James Low. The Schumann cycle will include “Seit ihn gesehen,” “Er, der Herrlichste von alien,” “Ich kann’s nicht fassen,” “Du Ring an meinem Finger,” “Helft mir, ihr Schwes-tern,” “Susser Freund, du blickest,” “An meinem Herzen,” and “Nun hast du mir den ersten Schmerz getan.” Students of Stephen De'ak's chamber music classes will conclude the program with Beethoven’s Trio No. 4, B Flat, Op. 11.

French Pix Critic Outlines Effects Of Modern Films their pledges together, Cal bans liquor in fraternity houses, and Yale and Princeton hold a racy debate on the subject, “Resolved, that a woman should choose death before dishonor.” Now SC and UCLA are going to get into the act. Omar Kureishi, graduate manager of the SC debate squad, issued a challenge yesterday to the Bruin debaters to figh; it out verbally on the same topic Yale and Princeton used, or on a similar subject. Tentatively scheduled for Bovard auditorium in the week following Thanksgiving vacation, the debate will be sponsored by the Daily Trojan in cooperating with the Daily Bruin. Topic of the debate will be announced later this week or early next week. Some suggested topics are: “Resolved, that it is better ta be married than to be chased,” and “Resolved, that students have more to offer the faculty than the faculty has to offer the students.” Incidentally, the Yale men took the negative side of the “dishonor-death” debate and won. * by JIM LAMHOF£R Dame fortune d e c i d ed things weren’t bad enough here. She frowned a little harder yesterday. And so— The crowning blow to I Coach Jeff Cravath’s Trojan football squad, already hanging on the ropes from one of the biggest injury lists in the history of collegiate football, came yesterday when doctors announced that Jim Powers, star quarterback, definitely would not play against UCLA Saturday and may be through for the season, due to a chipped hip bone. The injury hex could not have struck the Trojans at a more vul-! nerable spot. Four weeks ago Wilbur Robertson, second-string quar-: terback, suffered a broken jaw to sideline him for the remainder of the campaign. GIFFORD OUT Last week Frank Gifford, who was moved into the second-string signal-calling berth after Robertson's injury and who was the ace conversion kicker of the team, came down with appendicitis, was operated on, and is probably out for the rest of the year. Thus when the hex struck down Powers, it left Troy with one quarterback, period. He is Dean Schneider, who has looked good at fullback in reserve roles this year, but has never played one play at offensive quarterback in collegiate football for the Trojans. Powers, being one of the top T-formation quarterbacks in the nation this season and certainly one of the country's finest passers, was, naturally, the key man in the Trojan offense. Without Powers, the SCers are expected to be from two to three touchdown underdogs for their traditional clash with the crosstown Bruins in the Coliseum Saturday. FIRST TIME An interesting sidelight to Powers’ injury is the fact that this is the first time in three years of varsity football at SC that Jim has (Continued on Page 3) Radio Producer Would Eliminate Studio Audiences Studio audiences at dramatic shows should be eliminated, according to Jack Johnston, radio pro-ducer-director. who will speak in tomorrow night’s radio symposium, 6:30, Hancock auditorium. Johnston, who belongs to the School of Radio directing, which believes all broadcasts should be directed from the stage, is well known in his field and has produced and directed such popular programs as “Crime Doctor,” “Superman,” and “The Greatest Story Ever Told.’ At present he is producing the "Prudential Family Hour of Stars.” One of a panel of five radio authorities to be at the symposium.

The symposium will be the radio department's contribution to the current SC Contemporary Art festival. Atomic Pile Subject of CAI Talk An insight into an atomic pile, “birthplace” of atom bomb materials, will be part of the second and concluding “layman's” lecture on atomic energy before the Council on Atomic Implications in 310 Bridge at 1:10 this afternoon. The department of chemistry's Dr. James C. Warf will be the speaker. In a preview to his lecture, Dr. Warf explained that an atomie pile was built something like this: Ores called pitchblende and car-notite are refined and uranium metal is the end product. The metal is composed of a large percentage of U238 and a lesser percentage of U235. INGOTS INTO RODS Ingots of uranium are converted into cylindrical rods. These, in turn, are cut into short sections and encased in aluminum to keep them from corroding. The aluminum encased uranium rods are then set into a graphite base. The graphite serves as a moderator and slows down fast moving neutrons which result when fissioning of U235 occurs. The neutrons must be slowed down or moderated, in order that the chain reaction may continue, he said. Dr. Warf said that water is used as a cooling agent in an atomic pile very much as water is used in an automobile radiator. PLATONIUM RESULTS From atomic piles, he said, come such products as plutonium, used in atom bombs, and various radioactive isotopes, which are being used for medical and scientific purposes. Dr. Warf told the CAI last week about the basic sources of energy and matter. He began wiih an explanation of solar energy. In the sun, he said, four atoms of hydrogen. a light element, are required to create one atom of helium. Tryouts to Start For Chest Jobs Interviews for positions on Trojan chest committees will be held today at 2:30 pan. in the Blue Key office, 402 SU.
