One Letter Makes A Difference ★ ★ ★ . ★ ★ i
Judge Lauds Fraternity
Alpha Tau Omega fraternity received recognition yesterday, for its transformation from “Hell Week” to “Help Week.” A letter came from Los Angeles Superior Court Judge William J. Palmer, and read:
“Your conversion of “Hell Week” into “Help Week” is the most intelligent thing that has )--———---——
taken plac.: in university life in 25 years. I should like to express to you my heartiest congratulations.’’ "If you will follow this splendid innovation with a well-designed program to supervise and help pledges and freshmen in their studies, backed by a strong purpose of reasonable scholastic achievement, you wil ldemonstrate again that fraternity life can be lifted above the juvenility that so often has marked it in the past.”

Probers Hear Art Samish
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 7—(UP) —The King committee went behind closed doors today to hear from Artie Samish, California's No. 1 lobbyist, testimony presumably concerning why no taxes had been and Bill Fletcher, the SC chapter j paid on the $935,000 brewer’s pur-
remodeled two recreation centers belonging to the North Hollywood Presbyterian church and did general clean-up work at the SU Thomas Episcopal church.
Bruce Johnson, ATO president, was pleased with the “Help Week” results and commented, “Our pledges worked hard and accomplished several jobs which will be of benefit to many people. We re-reived letters from the churches thanking us for our help, and that to us is better than receiving letters from parents threatening to sue us for bodily harm done to their sons.”

lie relations fund he handles.
The House Ways and Means subcommittee investigating San Francisco's scandal-ridden Internal Revenue office met in executive session with Samish for the second time this week with a tight lid of secrecy on the subject of the talks.
Evaded Questions
The tall, portly lobbyist, once-dubbed “the secret boss of California,” was jovial but non-committal as he emerged from the hearing room shortly* after noon.
, “You'll have to ask the committee,” was his reply to all questions.
Also summoned before the closed session today were Attorney Stephen F. Chadwick of Seattle, Wash., former National Command -I er of the American Legion and onetime candidate for Congress, Frank X. (Porky) Flynn, Samish's top lieutenant, and Peter Barnett, tax consultant and head of a local accounting firm.
Wanted Hearing
Chadwick said he had v been waiting to appear before Rep. Cecil R. King’s (D-Calif.) committee since Monday. He said he understood he was subpenaed in reference to “a matter I handled several years ago” but declined to reveal the nature of the matter.
Chadwick acknowledged to reporters that he knew Russell W. Duke, Portland, Ore. lobbyist and figure in the • Internal Revenue scandals, but maintained his testimony would not be concerned with Duke.
Crescent Theater Group to Stage Nine-Act Play by Eugene O'Neill
SC Sculptor To Mould Lincoln Head
Merrell Gage, professor of fine arts, will re-create the head of Abraham Lincoln in clay during five lectures next week in honor of the 143rd birthday of the president.
Professor Gage, who has made extensive study of the 108 official photographs of Lincoln, lectures as he sculptures the facial changes, from the young lawyer of early New Salem days to the tired, line-faced Civil War leader.
To Be Televised
The first public demonstrations will be given Monday jver TV on KECA, at 9 p.m. This will follow a lecture before the Oxnard Women’s club at 2 p.m. Other appearances will be on Tuesday, at the Inglewood Freeman school, 7:30; Wednesday at Whittier college for the A.A.U.W., 8 p.m., and Friday, at Ventura junior college, 10 a.m.
Gage was commissioned to do a bronze statue of ‘Lincoln in the capitol building of Topeka, Kans., in 1916. Since then he has been doing continual research in the field, ami his lecture-sculpturing has been widely acclaimed over the past 15 years.
Face Shows Personality
He explained, “Lincoln’s complex personality and emotional characteristics are distinctively written on both sides of his face. The right side, which is marked with a mole, shows his melancholy sadness — along with his attributes as a kindly Father Abraham. The left stfe is distinct contrast. The lines on that side show his shrewdness and determination.
Rarely Seen Drama Picked
A rarely seen nlay, ‘-Strange Interlude,” written by the celebrated Eugene O’Neill, will be produced by the Crescent Theater group in the Student Union lounge the latter part of March. Exact dates will be announced soon.
Considered by many to be O'Neills masterpiece, the nine-act play requires five hours to enact, and commercial managements have left it practically untouched because of the financial risk involved in the production of lengthy plays. The play is being cut to a time length of three hours for the Crescent Theater production, according to Jim Norcop, producer.
“Strange Interlude” is one of the most highly experimental plays ever written. O’Neill used the “stream of consciousness” method for expressing his characters thoughts to the audience, similar to the asides to the audience employed by Shakespeare in his plays.
The Crescent Theater group, organized in 1950 to operate under the

pose being to provide recreation and opportunity for students interested in the stage. Some of the group’s past productions are “Biography,” S. N. Behrman; “Measure for Measure,” Shakespeare; and “Arsenic and Old Lace.” Joseph Kesselring.
“Strange Interlude” traces through 25 years in the life of Nina Leeds, the lead part in the play. It opens With Nina at the age of 20. when she loses her fiancee, a pilot who is shot„ down in the war. It is a loss she is hardly able to sustain. and when she marries an ordinary young man, Sam Evans, and has a chil<J. She names him Gordon after her first love, whom she is never able to forget.
Appearing throughout the play are several strange characters. One is Ned Darrell, her doctor who attends her during childbirth. One is able neither.to hate nor admire him.

Nixon Predicts Demos Will Use Prosperity' Pitch
FT. ATKINSON, Wis., Feb. 7— (UP)—Sen. Richard Nixon (R-Cal-if) predicted tonight that the Democratic presidential campaign will be based on “present prosperity.” Nixoh said the administration, while it “claims credit for the prosperity,” it must also “bear the responsibility for the present crisis which we face abroad and at home.” ' \
Nixon, addressing about 500 persons attending a Jefferson county GOP voluntary committee dinner, said he expects the Democratic presidential nominee to use the slogan, “Have you ever had it so good?”
“The administration is attempting to claim credit for the nation’s prosperity,” Nixon said.
“It must at the same time bear the responsibility for the failure of the policy which led to 100,000 casualties in Korea and the present crisis which we face abroad and at home.”
Nixon said the Republican party, in order to win the presidential election, must prove to the nation it can “do a more effective job than the administration” on the following four points:
Keep the nation “militarily” stronger than Russia and the economy “strong, sound, productive and free; develop a “fair, sane and effective program of internal security; and “reestablish high standards of morality and integrity in Washington.”
Smoker Tonight Features Movies
Smoker for new men students, complete with football movies and refreshments, will be given tonight at 8:SO at the Newman club, 636 West 36th place. Fr. Russell Kirs-chenheuter will speak.
Students wishing to attempt to waive the Health Problems requirement (PE 160) will take a two-hour examination Wednesday at 3:30 p.m. in 107 Physical Education.
Students desiring to take this examination will sign up with Dr. E. C. DaVis, 106B Physical Education.

WINSTON CHURCHILL . . . delivers eulogy
Churchill Pays TributetoKing; Queen Arrives
LONDON, Feb. 7 (U.P.) — Prime Minister Winston Churchill paid a memorable tribute tonight to the late King George VI and said that in the last few months the monarch’s “life was hanging by a thread.”
Churchill, long a friend and admirer of the King, delivered a solemn eulogy over the British radio, which throughout the day had broadcast only serious music and news.
Lauds King
In a voice filled with emotion, the Prime Minister said:
“In the last few months King George’s life, with all the pangs and physical stresses he endured —his life was hanging by a thread ,and he all the time was cheerful and undaunted, stricken in body but quite undisturbed and even unacected in spirit—has made a profound and enduring impression which should be a help to all.
“During these last months the King walked with death as if death were a companion and acquaintance whom he recognized and did not fear.
In the end death came as a friend and after a happy day of sunshine and sport and after ‘goodnight- to those whom he loved best he fell asleep as every man or woman who strives to fear God and nothing else may hope to do.
Saw ‘Journey’s End’
“The nearer one stood to him the more thesfe facts were apparent. But the newspapers and photographs of modern times have made vast numbers of his subjects able to watch with emotion the last months of his pilgrimage. We all saw him approach his journey’s end.”
While Churchill was expressing the nation's grief over the death of its beloved monarch, the 25-year-old princess who left London a week ago for what was to have been a state tour of Australia arrived home ; from Africa a queen and began her j reign as Elizabeth II.
Her first sad duty was to author- , ize a state funeral at St. George's j chapel, Windsor, on Friday, Feb. 15, j for her father.
Body to London In the first documents bearing the signature “Elizabeth Regina” she decreed that her father’s coffin shall be brought to London from Sandringham on Monday and that it shall lie in state in historic Westminster hali on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
On Friday morning there will be a state funeral procession, in which all the crowned heads of Europe are expected to participate, from Westminster hall to Paddington Railway station.
First Circular Moments later the first court circular of the new queen was issued.
Dated Clarence House, St. Jame’s, it said:
“The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh arrived at Clarence house from Kenya this evening. The Lady Pamela Mountbatten, Gen. Sir Frederick Browning, Maj. Sir Michael Adean, Lt. Col. The Honorable Martin Charteris, and Lt. Comm. Michael Parker, R. N.. were in attendance.”
The reign of Elizabeth Regina had begun.
Kelly, Craves to Run For IFC President
1 * • * Delta Chi Chuck Kelly and Phi Kappa Psi Al Graves have beeh nominated for president of the interfraternity council for the spring semester. Election of officers will be held next Thursday.
The nominations were made yesterday at the first IFC meeting of the new term held at the Zeta Zeta Tau house, 666 West 28th Street.
Single nominations were also
made for two of the other three offices to be filled. Ed Eisenburg, Zeta Zeta Tau, was nominated for vice-president and Warren Ettinger, Tau Epsilon Phi, for treasurer.
The IFC representatives will be voting Thursday for officers to succeed the present group which includes Bud Hauslein (Phi Sigma Kappa), president; Jack Tillar (Delta Tau Delta), vice-president; Jim Strode (Phi Gamma Delta), secretary, and George Gotlesman (Zeta Beta Tau), treasurer.
Additional nominations may still be forthcoming before the elections. Nominations will again be open at the Thursday meeting.
The IFC is the governing body for fraternities on campus. Thirty-three houses are members of the IFC, each with a single vote representation. ,
Last semester the IFC was involved in two major controversies. First, disciplinary action against seven fraternities allegedly involved in a “raid’ on a UCLA fraternity house was invoked and then later rescinded.
The IFC also opposed a constitutional amendment -that would have replaced on the ASSC Senate the IFC president (now a voting member) with a popularly-elected organized men’s representative. The amendment failed to receive the ncssary two-thirds majority to pass, but is to be reconsidered by the Senate this semester.
It is not known whether this issue will play a part in the ocming IFC elections. The constitutional amendment was supported by several fraternity members on the Senate although officially opposed by the IFC President upon instructions of the council.

Truce Deadlock May be Broken
TOKYO, Feb. 7 (Friday)—(UP)— The Korean truce negotiators met today amid strong indications that the logjam might break at the staff officers’ discussion of armistice supervision.
Communist representatives on the prisoner of war sub-committee also were expected to give their first reaction to the new Allied 11-point draft governing the exchange of prisoners and displaced civilians on which the Allies made concessions yesterday.
An Allied spokesman said after yesterday's armistice supervision meeting that he felt the “way for progress” had been prepared. The deadlocking issue of airfield construction during an armistice, however, remained unsolved.

Truman Picks Arnall New Price Boss
WASHINGTON, Feb. 7—(UP)— Former Gov. EHis Am all of Georgia. who likes to tackle the “impossible,” today was named by President Truman to succeed Michael V. DiSalle as price stabilizer.
Amall promptly said in Atlanta ' that he accepted the post because ' someone must tackle the “tough, unpopular and thankless” tasks necessary to national security. He said he has "no magic formula which will solve our price problems.”
DiSalle, who had hoped someone in the price agency would be promoted to his job, said he believed Amall “ought to do a good Job.”
The retiring price stabilizer was 'tsked what he thought AmalTs main problem will be.
• Holding prices,” he replied with a grin.
Amall and his chief. Economic Stabilizer Roger L. Putnam, soon may be faced with one of the toughest problems of the entire stabilization program—what to do about steel prices if the industry grants a wage increase to the CIO United Steelworkers.
Finds U.S. ‘Big and Fast’ ★ ★★★★★★★★ Lybia s Secretary Visits Troyville
The secretary to the parliament of the world’s youngest nation, Lybia, expressed his impressions of America yesterday at a press conference held during his visit to campus as the guest of Dr. Wilbert L. Hindman, associate professor of political science.
Munir Burshan, who will return to his country at the end of February after a two-month visit in the United States, finds America big, fast, and complicated.
He is also surprised about the large role that women play in our society. The father of eight children, he believes that a woman’s place is in the home.
“Here I have seen men in the kitchen and women in the state department,” he said. “In our country we do not expect women to do men’s work.”
Burshan finds Americans more religious than Europeans, but believes that the latter are more interested in culture. He said he came to America with the general impression of his countrymen that everyone here is rich.
The United Kingdom of Lybia, with a population ol 1,300,000, is three times the sise of Texas. It was established Dec. 24, 1951, as a constitutional monarchy. Burshan was chairman of the committee that drafted the country’s new constitution.
Burshan was honored by Dr. Rufus B. von KleinSmid at a tea held in the chancellor’s suite.
