Professor Explains Excise Tax Raise
“If a federal excise tax upon manufactured items is levied by the government when the income taxes are cut in January, it will not mean a great change in tax policy,” said SC economics department head. Dr. Clyde W. Phelps, yesterday.
He pointed out that people in the United States are paying over BIO billion annually in federal

Prime Minister Says Japan Loyal Friend
Japan is a loyal friend and a strong ally of the US, Dr. Hitoshi A6hida, former Prime Minister of Japan, declared Friday at a dinner in the Commons.
“One of the most important tasks of the United States government is to see that the other free nations will not suffer because of any impatient action of this country,” Ashida said in his speech, “Japan Today.”
He said that unrest in Japan, sponsored whenever possible by Communists, is due partly to the aftermath of the seven-year American occupation.
Long-Range Factors “Problems of re-armament, self-defense, and the stationing of American Security forces in Ja- ] pan are long-range factors in the relationships between the two countries,” Dr. Ashida added.
He said the problems of anti-Americanism are not as serious as some make out, although he does admit they exist
“It will require,” Dr. Ashida said, “a better enlightened public relations program by both Japan and the United States.”
The talk was sponsored by the School of International Relations and was attended by faculty and students as W'ell as prominent officials.
Chancellor Rufus B. von Klein-Smid introduced Dr. Ashida, who was personally invited to the campus by Dr. Rodger Swearingen, assistant professor of international relations, who made a study this past summer in Japan on a Ford Foundation grant.
Charity Drive For Faculty, Employees On
The annual University Community Chest drive got underway yesterday and Dean John Cooke of Summer Session and Campus Chairman for the chest drive, said he hopses for a 100 percent contribution from faculty and employees.

Line Coach Mel Hein, who W'as eight times an All-Pro selection, will narrate. Coach Hein is in his third season as coach of SC’s centers and tackles.

Ciendening to Ask for Senate Confirmations
ASSC President Warren Ciendening will ask Senate approval of his appointments to chairmanship of the Student Forum and Student Public Relations committees when the ASSC Senators meet tomorrow night at 7 in 418 SU.
The Student Public Relations committee was created by the Senate earlier this month to furnish Los Angeles area news outlets with information on student activities. The Student Forum Committee’s purpose is to initiate and co-ordinate student forum programs and stimulate student interest in these forums.
New Voting Senator Ciendening has completed the interviewing of chairman candidates and will announce his selections at the meeting.
Seating of George Hartman, president of the School of Public Administration as a voting senator is expected tomorrow night.
The ASSC Constitution provides that any undergraduate school may petition the Senate for a voting seat. If the petitioning school has an enrollment larger than the smallest student body presently represented by a voting senator, the Senate must recognize the president as a voting Senator.
A Seat for Chimes Latest enrollment figures show the School of Public Administration has 157 students while the School of International Relations (now holding a voting seat) has only 89. This makes Senate approval to the seating of Hartman only a technicality.
A non-voting seat for the president of Chimes wall be requested by the junior women’s service organization. A two-thirds vote of the Senate is required to approve the non-voting seat for Chimes President Joan Price.
