PARIS. Apr. 20—(U.R>—An Air "ranee Constellation plane from uenos Aires came to a crash jlanding on Orly airfield today S'ith champagne in its hydraulic landing gear and an enraged husband among its 33 passengers.
The crew poured the champagne in the landing gear after the air liner had circled Orly field for more than three hours, its landing: wheels stuck.
The husband—an unidentified Argentine—confessed all his extra-marital sins to his wife as the plane circled, believing that it was going to crash.
“He thought we were spending our last moments together.” the uife said as she led him away. ^He told me a lot of things I never knew he had done during bur married life.
“He was very angry about it when we finally got down.”
. Pilot Fernand Bouchon said ■that the only way to get the landing gear down was to get liquid in it and that the only liquid aboard in sufficient quantity was champagne.
So Bouchon ordered his crew ;f seven to pour every bottle jboard into the landing gear. The ack wheels came down, and uchon landed on them.

Nail-driving contests, dart games, and popguns will provide other outlets for frustrated students.
STREET DANCE TO SPARK Just to make sure customers get their money’s worth, a street dance with Eddie Charles’ orchestra will , be held in a roped-off area near Portland and 28th streets. It’s free to everyone who pays admission.

John Hopkins, president of Loyola, will open the meeting by outlining the problems of human relations in the college community.
Two workshops will discuss the problems of minorities in the student community, and the relationships between various organizations on campus and between student governments and the administration.
Craig Turner, L A. State college student body president, will head the workshop on minorities, and K. W. Longshore, L. A. City college, will chairman the workshop on relationships.
The invitation to SC students to attend the one-day meeting was sent by Longshore, chairman of the California, Nevada. Hawaii region of'NSA. Padgett said.

Dr. Hyink, who will be temporarily absent from the campus, said yesterday afternoon that he has delegated authority to Dr. Albert Zech to act on the ultimatum today.
“No new evidence has come to my attention, nor have the offenders come in,” said Dr. Zech yes'erday after the deadline had passed.
The case will go to Detective Lt.
Harold Seager, University division, who entered the case originally on a complaint of Dixon Bell Press.
Seager stopped his investigation when the printers and the university agreed to take over the investigation.
Seager has informed the Daily Trojan that, although it is unusual for the police to re-enter a case after dropping it for so long a time, they wil! do so.

was serious enough to merit grab-bag social life.
The way the system is set up it will take about four days to get a date. Here is how the lonely heart scheme will operate.
Persons foolish enough to register at the state factory wiil fill out a card and provide a photograph for an open file. The card carries a file number, a condensed loyalty oath, and all vital statistics except name, address, and telephone number.
When Emil Bruin wants a date, he goes to the file, finds what he wants and fills out a postcard telling why. A central bureau then mails the card to the girl of Emil's dreams and if she is interested she writes back. When a mutual agreement is reached, the names are released and Emil takes his girl to the senior prom in the men’s gym.
It all sounds very cozy and should open a new social era at UCLA.

Farm Trust Hit By McWilliams
Says Spanish Grants Caused Troubles
“It is not a farm-labor problem, but it is an aspect of a dozen problems,” said SC alumnus Carey McWilliams in his talk. “Migratory Labor Problems of California,” last night.
“Early land monopolization,” he said, caused California to miss the homestead stage of development. He said the old Spanish land grants put much of the little bit of California's arable land into the control of large landowners.
Another aspect, he said, was the sudden economic development that began with the gold-rush. This

ily” type from buying small farms. This supplied the first group of Californian migratory workers.
One of the most significant aspects. he said, was the geographic proximity of California to Mexico and the Orient.' Because Mexico is a bordering country, and because the gateway to the Orient and the end of the western trails is California. there was never a shortage of farm labor, he said.

Political Scientists Dine Tonight

Southern California political scientists will be hosted tonight by the SC department of politic*! science at a dinner meeting in Carl”s restaurant, Crenshaw and Vernon, at 6:30.
by Dr. Carlton C. Rodee, professor of political science and public administration.
VERMONTER TO SPEAK Principal speaker at the meeting will be Dr. Marshall E. Dimock, mi(:

member of the Vermont legislature, who will speak on the goals of political science.
Dr. Dimock, author of texts and monograms in political science, is at present a visiting professor at Occidental college.
Consequently, Earle, who played the part of Mio, the son of one of the immigrants, has an extremely important part to play. The role is difficult, charged with passion and
emotion, and requires a mature and seasoned actor.
It will run from 8:30 p.m. tonight through Wednesday. Admission is free with activity books and cents to the general public.
Bob Padgett and Ed Stegman, both considered for the ASSC president nomination, withdrew from the race, giving Shaffer hefty pats on the back.
Padgett was reported to have told the steering committee, ''I am quite I honored to have been considered.
I but I believe Shaffer is the strong-j est candidate possible.”
Stegman also praised Shaffer.
“I have so much respect for ! Shaffer's integrity and ability,” he | said, "and am in such agreement 1 with his stand on the issues that I do not desire to oppose him.”
In other steering committee business yesterday. Party Chairman Frank O'Sullivan announced two appointments and the election of four members to the steering committee.
He named Omar Kureishi as campaign chairman and Dick Hanson as vice-chairman.
Kureishi was quick to deny that this appointment meant he was making a comeback in campus politics. He accepted the position, he said, because Unity “is running its strongest ticket.”
“In view of the fact that student government has made such long advances, it would be criminal to allow the rather innocuous opposition to take over,” he said.
Additions to the steering committee announctd by O’Sullivan are Hanson. Charles Macon, Milt Yu-sim. and George Dell.
Engineering Deans Favor Truman Plan
Deans of schools of engineering west of the Rockies went cn record Saturday as favoring President Truman's Four-Point program for technical help to foreign countries “if properly done.”
“We feel the general idea is good,' said Robert E. Vivian, dean of the School of Engineering, and host of the round-table discussion. “It will promote good will and raise the living standards of countries receiving aid—when and if the mcney for the program is appropriated by Congress.
The deans also discussed the effect on engineering enrollments brought about by the recent “surplus” engineers.
“Government bureaus indicate a shortage now in some fields of engineering,” Dean Vivian said, “with 50 I little mention of the real shortage four years from now.”

ivisection Row Grows
ab Students Rowdy Gang'
Controversy over experimentation with lunwanted pound animals continued to irage after the City Council sent two opting vivisection ordinances back to the ealth and welfare committee yesterday. SC students, who jammed the corridors f City hai] hours before the hearing in rdcr to get all chamber seats and prevent he opposition from supporting their ause were referred to as a ‘’rowdy seat--rabbing gang,-’ according to Hearst’s erald-Express.
The argument in council chambers took on more than a straight presentation of facts as opposing factions resorted to name calling.
Reserved seats had been set aside for both factions in the battle for unclaimed animals, and council members said the meeting was carried along without undue outbreaks from either side.
The two ordinances under consideration by the council were opposite in purpose. The anti-vivisection ordinance would make it a misdemeanor for anyone to obtain stray dogs or cats from the city pound for experimentation.
The second, proposed by the Medical Research Society of Southern California, would allow inspected laboratories to obtain the unclaimed animals.
Anti-vivisectionists contend such an ordinance would violate the City charter.
