Weather Halts Plane Search
»
OSLO, Nov. 21, (lr.P)—Fog, rain, and darkness halted the search last night for an airliner which vanished minutes away from here as it was bringing 29 Jewish children from the ghettoes of Morocco to a new life in Norway.
Volunteers, who had trudged in darkness through southern Nor-ways forest wilderness, returned to their base to wait until morning to continue their search.
Hope of finding the children aUve almost disappeared as darkness fell and report after report from searching parties said they had found no trace of the missing refugees. Four Dutch crewmen and either two or three nurses—officials were uncertain how many— also were aboard the plane
Aircraft of four nations—Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and the Netherlands—and salvage cutters of Norway and Sweden called off their search because of darkness. The cutters said the fog was so thick they were barely able to follow the coast of Norway’s fjords.
But ground crews—schoolchildren, farmers, and police—stumbled through the rocky forest tonight at arm's length, covering every square inch of ground in their search for the children from Morocco’s squalid slums who were being brought here for treatment for tuberculosis before going to Israel.
One ground rescue team returned to Sandemosen tonight after a nine-hour trek through the forests without food or water and reported no success. The same report came from other rescue parties.
The Aero Holland company DC-3 plane, chartered by the European Children's Welfare organization, disappeared yesterday in late afternoon after radioing it was within a few miles of Fomebu airfield here.
China s Values Topic of Talk By Cranston
by J. G. SCHAEFFER
The Chinese wall of ancient traditions and philosophic values that may finally halt the spread of Communism in the Orient will be discussed at 4:15 this afternoon in Bowne hall. •
Dr. Earl Cranston, dean of the School of Religion, will speak on “Permanent Values
in Classical Chinese Philosophy,” and will attempt to interpret the prp§ent critical Chinese situation in the light of what has happened in the past.
“There is reason to believe that stronger forces long present in Chinese life and psychology will prevail over the ideology and practices of Karl Marx and Lenin, whose European concepts are not of the type to appeal to Orientals,” Dr. Cranston said.
POWER GOVERNMENT Traditional Chinese thought, which Dr. Cranston believes will be revibed and strengthened in the next few decades, does not trust a government of violence. The ideal government, according to Chinese belief, is that wihich has first proved itself competent in small local groups. Then is it worthy to gradually assert itself into the national picture.
Among the philosophers, who have molded Chinese thought, is Confucius, who stressed the value of the good citizen and his responsibility to the state. Mencius, disciple of Confucius, believed in democracy and held that the government which failed to serve the people forfeited the mandate of heaven and should be removed, preferably without violence.
FALL OF UNJUST Followers of these philosophers, said Dr. Cranston, have been critics of the government in power and often have been responsible for the fall of unjust or semi-totalitarian rulers.

England’s noted composer-tenor team, Benjamin Britten and Peter Pears, will herald the approach ftf the Christmas season with their presentation of Britten’s “Saint Nicolas Cantata” in Bovard, 8:30 Wednesday night, Nov. 30.
The program will be a feature of the third annual Festival of Contemporary Arts sponsored by the Institute of Arts and the School of Music.
Pears, touring the United States for the first time, will open the concert with a varied selection of vocal solos. He will present:
“In Darkness Let Me Dwell,” John Dowland; “I’ll Sail Upon the Dog-Star,” “There’s Not a Swain,” “Sweeter Than the Roses,” Henry Purcell.

Pennies, as an offering to the gods of football war, will be pitched into a barrel at the foot of Tommy Trojan from 9 a.m. until the football team entraiss today.
Bob ^fedgett, ASSC presi-, dent, members of the coaching staff, and the varsity team will be on hand to toss the first coins.
Dave 'Evans, YMCA president, said. “We’ve borrowed this custom from the Annapolis middies who hold a penny pitch yearly before the Army game. These pennies will go to the Howard Jones Memorial Welfare fund to buy CARE packages for European kids at Christmas.”
SC pitched pennies into a sheet two years ago, before the UCLA game, to buy Tommy a new sword. Since the Notre Dame game promises to be the toughest this season, the penny pitch is, at this time, a literal offering to the Gods for favor over the Irish.
Ken Brown, project chairman, said, “The committee feels it more important to promote peace in Europe than to arm Tommy.”
Other members of the committee are Joe Perez, Don Cardiff, Jack Crawford, and Bill Hickman.
Brown said, “An annuai observance of the tough ?ames of the season could be observed in the same way, with proceeds going to the most deserving charity.”

KUSC to Air Job-Trend Talk
Economic security and its surge to the No. 1 spot as what most college graduates are looking for in a job will be discussed at 12:45 this afternoon over KUSC.
“The Class of ’49,” an article which appeared in the June issue of Fortune, will be used as guide for the discussion.
According to this article, the outstanding characteristic among ’49 graduates is their strong desire for economic security. Most of the graduates say they prefer working for a large concern and having a steady income instead of trying to get rich by starting their own businesses.
Speakers for the program, another in the “Learning for Leadership” series, will be two SC alumni, Dr. Lawrence D. ~*ritchard, assistant vice-president of Bank of America, and Frank M. Swirles Jr., vice-president of Canvas Specialty Manufacturing company. Moderator will be Dr. Lawrence R. Guild, professor of management.
The broadcasts are sponsored by the university employment bureau under direction of Mrs. Florence B. Watt, bureau director. They are coordinated by Pat Fraide and produced by Bob Heath, KUSC. Pete Stem announces the program and Don Elder is engineer.

Vet Confesses To 150 Burglaries
SAN FRANCISCO. Nov. 21—(U.E) —Floyd Christy, 21-year-old ex-Air Force private, walked into a police station here 'last night and voluntarily confessed to 150 burglaries in Pacific Coast cities.
Tossing a .25 caliber automatic on the desk of an astounded sergeant, Christy said he wTanted to confess his crimes and take his punishment “because I'm tired of living this way.”
Christy said he was responsible for 35 burglaries in San Francisco and more than 100 in Los Angeles and ^ortland, all committed since he was discharged from the Air Force five months ago.
He told police he netted about $100 a week since June 1 by selling and pawming jewelry and other valuables he stole from homes.
This marked the second time this semester that SC journalism students have ventured into the realm of practical newspapering. An October issue of the Culver City Star-News was the result of their first field trip.
The pen-pushers rolled into strange, smogless Oceanside Thursday to learn advance information. They worked as rapidly as possible getting the paper out Friday because several of the members were in the lineup for the ilMated gridiron battle with the Daily Bruin.
Art Mesch, Daily Trojan news editor, put his feet on the desk and assumed the role of a hardhitting city editor.
Barbara McGreal and Betty Jo Bledsoe added the feminine touch, handling the society news, the Women’s club meeting, and church news.
General reporter Don Sorenson covered the chamber of commerce meeting.
“The lunch they served was fine,” he said complacently.
Reporters Sally Weeks, Herb Ox-stein, and Ken Downs, browsed around Oceanside digging up news. Downs was seen wandering around Oceanside trailer camps.
George Ambrose and Jerry Boyd handled all the sports news, which they usually do for the DT.

A. S. Raubenheimer Educational Vice-President
New Swedish oceanographic instruments and techniques for acquiring important sea-bottom data will be discussed tomorrow at 8 p.m. in 145 Hancock.
Prof. Hans Pettersson, director of the Oceanografiska Institutet, Go-tenborg. Sweden, will lecture on ‘‘Exploring the Deep Ocean,” the story of the fifteen-month expedition made aboard the 1400-ton motor schooner Albatross in 1947-48 to collect samples of sea-bottom sediment.
Most important of these new» developments is the Kullenberg coring tube, designed and built by B. Kullenberg, a geologist at the Oceanographical Institute. This coring gear obtains cores up to 20 meters in length at depths of 5000 meters, three times as long as previous cores.
Scarcely less important are measures of apparent thicknesses of oceanic sediments using seismic methods developed by Weibull. The same type of measures are made by geologists on land and oil fields.
Continuous, long-scale depth records were obtained from new powerful echo-sending apparatus developed by Marine Instruments Ltd.. which is capable of obtaining records of at least 7500 meters depth. Standard oceanographic stations were occupied frequently, with determinations being made for con-
tents of chlorinity, oxygen, ura-num, and radium in water samples.
In addition, closely spaced bathythermograph lowerings were made, and the Hydrographic Office’s Special Observer’s Log was kept for reporting occurrences of discolored water phosphoresence, and concentrations of whales, other sea animals, and birds.
Records of weather conditions were obtained by making temperature measurements of bottom settlements in place by pushing the measuring instruments into the mud of the ocean floor.
Between Martinique and the Canal Zone the Swedish deep sea expedition was host to Dr. Fred Phleger Jr., a representative of the Hydrographic Office and the Woods Hole Oceanographic institution. As it was the purpose of the cruise to investigate the ocean bed and its deposits, Dr. Phleger demonstrated special towing techniques devised for collecting living fora-minifera marine organisms and also loaned the party a new type of bottom sampler.
The entire itinerary of the cruise included Madeira, the Canal Zone, the Galapagos Islands, Hawaii. Tahiti, and the Netherlands East Indies. They returned to the Mediterranean through the Indian ocean.
