SC Pickets Taunt Leftists With Placards
A group of SC students picketed Leftist sympathizers yesterday in front of the Federal Office building, where the House Un-American Activities committee is conducting a Communist investigation.
The Leftists, who were picketing the building, were taunted by signs reading, “Civil Rights by Evolution, NOT Revolution,” “HISS on the Commies,” and “Thank God We Have Committees.” The student group was composed of 15 or 20 International Relations majors and a few others.
No violence occurred in the action which took place between 2:30 and 5 p.m.
“Everything was fairly quiet,” Joe Flannagan. spokesman for the group, said, “probably because more than 50 policemen lined the front of the Federal building.”
SC to Meet, Then Beat, Army Eleven
The “Beat Army” chant that will prevail at • Saturday’s game, will be modified to “Meet Army” this afternoon, when a caravan of Trojan students will greet the Cadet football players at Los Angeles International airport.
Bovard Start
The caravan of cars will form in front of Bovard auditorium at 4 p.m., according to Al Graves, who is in charge of rally activities.
“We want to give the visiting players a big welcome and make them feel at home today,” Graves said. “Weil leave it up to our team to make Army feel homesick Saturday.”
Welcome Army
Graves wants all students with cars to join the parade to the airport. Members of the Trojan band, cheerleaders, students, and a crate of oranges will be waiting at the airport when the Army plane lands at 5 p.m.
Graves said that Student Body President Wendell Casey would officially welcome the Army players on behalf of the students.
^lore than 20 cars joined the caravan to welcome the Northwestern team last week. Graves said there may be an even bigger turnout today.
Rally for Team
Another rally activity is scheduled for tomorrow afternoon, when the band, cheerleaders, and students will give the Trojan team a rousing sendoff in front of the Physical Education building. The time has not yet been decided.
Graves announced that former SC all-American tackle John Ferraro will be a guest speaker at the combination rally and watermelon dig Friday night in front of the Chi Phi fraternity .house.
A representative from the Army team also will be on hand to give a short talk.
A street dance is planned in front of the fraternity after the rally and watermelon dig.
“We want to be sure to get one thing across to students, and that is that all students are invited to this event,” Graves said. “It is as much for the independents benefit as for Row.”
British Laborite Outlines Foreign Trade Difficulties
By Boh Krauch
Great Britain’s foreign trade trade economy is already in a difficult position without the U. S. “scuppering” them with a shift in purchasing, according to William Donald Chapman. Labor Party member of the House of Commons.
“A very slight movement in the U. S. dollar area can cut our economic throat," Chapman explained. He was a guest .of Dr. Carltan C. Rodee. and spoke before Dr. Rodee's class in British government yesterday.
Young Member
One of the youngest members of Parliament, the 28-year-old Chapman is a Labor representative from the highly industrialized area of Birmingham. He was elected to represent his constituency in October, 1951.
A guest of the State department, Chapman is visiting the U. S. trying to iron out Britain’s foreign trade problems. He is also observing the actions of progressive U. S. political elements campaigning in the national elections.
Life's Blood
“Enuring the 1946-50 period, the U. S. had a $34 biUion export surplus, but no reciprocal pur
chase* from Great Britain were j Chapman said.
made,” he said. “Exports, as you know, are our life's blood.”
Chapman has * been meeting with Washington officials hoping to get the U. S. to use a more consistent policy in foreign purchases.
In referring to domestic problems. Chapman explained that Great Britain has almost reached its maximum in taxation.
High Taxes
“Of our $40 billion national income, the taxes amount to $12 billion,” he said. “Our taxation is so great, that if-we were to take away every dollar over $6000 of each man's income, the national tax return would be increased by only $200 million - or less than 1 per cent.
Ke-dist ribufion
Tlie Labor party still advocates a better re-distribution of capital he said. In 1945, 5 per cent of the population owned 55 per cent of the national wealth, and by 1951, 5 per cent of the people still owned 50 per cent of British wealth.
“Despite the high tax rates, the rich retain their capital ac-sets, and we can only get our hands on it through the pay-as vou-die, or inheritance tax,
When questioned on British socialism, as compared to U. S. capitalism, the MP said:
“The U. S. economy is a dynamic force, still on the rise, and still promising an enormous potential. Early in the 20th century, Britain felt there were no more frontiers open to her, and her economic system had become rigid, making socialization a practical necessity.”
Although Great Britain is already 20 per cent socialist, Chapman claimed that the Labor party does not advocate complete government seizure of industry.
Poverty Declined Pointing to an improvement claimed by the Labor party, Chapman said that in 1945, one out of three working-class families were living in poverty. From 1945 to 1951, his party abolished many'of these conditions. Chapman explained.
“Today, I have to go out and find poverty while it used to stare us in the face,” he concluded.
By special invitation. Chapman is scheduled to visit his home town’s namesake, Birmingham, Ala., this week. He plans to present an inscribed and attested history’ of Birmingham, England, to the American mayor.
Carr Named to Head Publications Board
Apathy' Investigating Committee Created Under Jansen's Leadership
By Charlie Barnett
ASSC senators created two committees last night, one to control student publications and the other to investigate apathy toward student government.
The five-senator Student Publications committee will supervise various student publications and appoint El Rodeo editor, Wampus editor, Student Handbook editor, and DT business manager.
The committee will also have the power to dismiss editors or subsidiary employees and envoke other punitive measures if such steps should become necessary.
Carr Chairman
Senator-at-large Jerry Carr is the chairman of the Publications committee which also includes Bob Carlson, senate perliamentarian, Bill Van Alstyne, independent men’s representative, Warren Clendening, junior class president, and Jim McGregor, senator-at-large.
Senator-at-large Bo Jansen, who introduced a resolution calling for the Apathy Investigating committee, was appointed chairman of that group. Working with Jansen in an effort to find the reasons behind the disinterest ln student government will be Arne Lingren, Bill Sweet, John Ray, and Radmilla Gogo, senators at large; Bill van Alstyne, independent men’s representative, and Moe McMasters, president of Spurs.
Jansen Hits Apathy
In introducing his resolution, Jansen lashed out at apathy
on the part of students and especially the disinterest in ASSC elections.
“Why is it that students are not interested in our school government.” Jansen asked.
“I do not see justification for continuing student government if it represents only 20 per cent of the students,” he said.
He called for a complete investigation inao the reasons for the general student apathy toward student government to be followed by a report and recommendations to the Senate on completion of the probe.
Jansen’s resolution recommended that the committee seek the active cooperation of the office of the Dean of students in its research.
Five-Man Board
The Student Publications committee motion originally listed a membership of an independent representative, an IFC representative and a Panhellenic council representative, a non-voting senator, and a senator at large. This motion was amended, however, to create the present board of five senators elected by th*e senate. At least three of these must be voting senators and at least one a senator-at-large.
Strong debate came forth on this subject. Some Senators felt that the organized students should have two representatives since they paid for a majority of the space in El Rodeo.
Another faction brought forth the argument that the student handbook and Wampus will also controlled' by the committee so independents should have equal representation. Others opposed having independent and organized representatives on the committee because they said it would tend to divide the students into interest groups.
El Rodeo Editor Alicia Carrillo told the senators that the El Rodeo policy this year was to have groups write their own copy and approve any editing which had to be done. This is a different policy from the one last year.
Earlier in the meeting, Homecoming chairman Ken Flowers reported on the progress being made on each of the homecoming activities.
Chairman Bob Carlson of the Rules committee presented a recommendation that the Senior Class constitution be approved. The Senate unanimously approved it.
President Casey’s appointment of Jim Lucostic as elections commissioner was approved by the Senate with only one dissenting vote.
Election Procedure
Lucostic told the Senate the details of the procedure to be carried out for freshman and foreign students elections next week.
George Gonzales, AMS president, Shirley Merrian, independent women’s representative, and Pat Wykoff, AWS president, were the only nominees for the Elections Investigating committee and were therefore automatically elected. Gonzales was elected chairman of the committee.

Sirens to Signal L.A. Civil Defense
Alert at 9:30 A.M.
The wail of sirens will alert the Los Angeles area for its first major postwar disaster drill at 9:30 this morning, it was reported to the Daily Trojan yesterday.
Trojans will join with city and county defense agencies in the simulated disaster, according to Dean Robert E. Vivian, chairman of the Univer-
Frosh Politicos 'Battle Columns Due Tomorrow
Freshman “battle columns” will be published in Monday’s DT.
Statements for the columns are due tomorrow at 8 p.m. in 432 SU.
The columns, which may contain platforms, past records, or statements of future plans, will be limited to 150 words.
Statements must be typewritten, double-spaced, and signed by the candidate himself. The Daily Trojan will print pictures of candidates who turn in glossy photographs 5x7 inches or larger.

sity Committee on Civilian Defense.
The drill will begin with a three-minute warbling signal called the “red” alert. At the completion of the drill, a “white” alert, a one-minute steady signal, will be given.
The drill is an attempt to acquaint Los Angeles county residents with the correct procedure in an actual disaster.
“The administration, therefore, encourages all students to follow the instructions of faculty members if the drill occurs during class sessions,’1 said Chairman Vivian.
Precautionary measures have been planned to prevent panic. Classroom instructors and designated officialsf will be responible for maintaining order. Students and faculty members are instructed to remain indoors. If on the street, seek shelter and keep below window level. Evacuation of the building should be undertaken only as a last resort. All autos should park to permit emergency vehicles to pass. Bus and auto passengers should not disembark until the all-clear signal is given.
“There are several other reasons for having this drill,” Dean Vivian said. “Mainly, it is to test the effectiveness of the attack warning system, the mobilization of Civil Defense personnel, and the operation of control centers throughout the city and county.”
A localized disaster plan to be used in case of enemy attack or other disaster has been organized by the university. Bernard L. Hyink, dean of students, was appointed vice-chairman of the university committee.
SC works with the Los Angeles City office of Civil Defense and has its own pentralized control center. This center provides communications to integrate campus activities and to call key personnel.
