Kuchel-Richards U. S. Senate Baffle Viewed
Bv JOE NEVENS Editor's note: One of the crucial struggles in the pending elections, from a more local point of view, is the U.S. Senatorial race between Republican Thomas Kuchel and Democrat Richard Richards.
The following is the first of a series of interpretive articles highlighting the battle between these two men.
In four days two SC grads, competing against each Other in the national senatorial elections, will know the outcome of their hard-fought grass-roots campaign.
U.S. Senator Thomas kuchel (R-Cal), ’35. is battling to retain his seat in the upper house n-here the Democrats have a 49-47 majority at present. California State Senator Richard Richards (Dem), ’42. is challenging the incumbent. If he succeeds, it could be indicative of a shift in party power in this state, as acknowledged by political observers.
“Kuchel has a ‘vise-like’ grip on the coattails of President Eisenhower and will definitely need the support generated by Ike’s popularity.” observed Dr. Totton J. Anderson of the political science department in a special report to the DT on the results of current campaign findings.
“On the other hand, Richards is depending solely on the loyalty of the Democratic voter and Independents who allow him to ride in with the party following,” Anderson said.
According to Anderson, who referred to political polls considered reliably tallied up until three weeks ago, Richards has closed the gap between himself and the incumbent. It would not be difficult to surmise that he is even ahead of Kuchel, notwithstanding Eisenhowrer’s appearance in Los Angeles.
Sizing up the relative strength of the candidates.
Anderson related the illuminating comment of Pat Brown, state attorney-general and highest statewide-elected Democratic officer, wrho observed: “The only thing that would change a Democratic ground-swell in California is Ike’s presence.” Several days later the President made his Hollywood Bowl appearance, linking it with the Kuchel campaign.
Two points should be noted, however, in regard to Ike’s coming to California, according to Anderson. Chances for a Republican victory in the House of Representatives appear to be quite negative, and the present slim majority in the Senate for the Democrats provides a possible opening for administration support in the legislative branch.
Secondly, the Republicans have recognized that Richards is overtaking Kuchel, and Ike’s personal support for the incumbent junior Senator could do much toward in-
suring his election, plus gaining another Republican seat.
In respect to national issues such as the H-Bomb dispute, the draft and Suez Canal crisis, both candidates have followed the lead of their respective party leaders. Their local campaign has mirrored national issues in timely debates. Dr. Anderson said.
Furthermore, personality attacks, local issues and general interest discussions have indicated outstanding divisions in the positions of both candidates These personality attacks have become quite evident in this ^m-paign, noted Anderson, and are leaving the impression of being even more violent than in the national campaign arena.
(On Monday, the Daily Trojan will analyze some ox the accusations made by both candidates and discuss which group of voters each candidate hopes to influence.)

Bach and Scarlatti wrote ior the difference between the harpsichord and todays piano, to ]

the harpsichord, whose strings j are plucked. This is unlike the modern piano which has harr, mers to strike the strings. “The harpsichord had disadvantages," said Crown, “they could play soft or loud, but they couldn’t graduate the sound, therefore, their music was of eminent clarity, which was totally suitable to the Style of that period.’’
At this point the professor showed, how in Bach’s music, polyphony shows to good advantage. He did this by playing a movement of Bach’s Italian concerto. He further demonstrated that Bach's keyboard only had a compass of four and a half ! octaves.
Invents Pianoforte
“Cristofori is credited with in- j venting the pianoforte, which had the ability to go from soft i to loud. Mozart played with | great elegance on the early piano which had a smaller ton*1 than the present day instrument.” The instructor illustrated this by playing a Mozart Son- | ata.

Prop. 4 Ad Tells Lie In Daily Trojan
Charges against Proposition Four as stated in the paid advertisement in Wednesday’s Daily Trojan are untrue, according to Dr. John W. Reith and Assistant Professor William Wake of tlie geography department.
“All the arguments opposing the proposition are false, half truths, or emotional appeals,” they say.
Not Monopoly
‘‘The plan does not propose monopoly, but rather conservation. .Conservation is wise use of resources for maximum returns.”
“Costs to the individual will be less under the new plan because: There are at least four billion barrels of oil underground and accessible, if the law is made adequate.
As ‘Town Lot Drilling’ is now permitted too many wells are sunk too close together. This causes confusion in the gaseous, water, and oil pools and diminishes ‘reservoir energy,’ which is needed to pump the oil. Water, dirt, and gas are mixed with the oil, giving impure oil.
The “reservoir energy” is sufficient to push the oil to the surface, but in most cases a pump must be applied. This is primary recovery. Secondary recovery means water or gas is forced into the ground to replace the “reservoir energy” which escaped and the oil which has been withdrawn. If too much original energy has been lost secondary recovery is not possible and the well must be abandoned until nature can mend the broken down pool. This process takes a minimum of 500 years.
Best Use of Fields
Under Proposition Four, the appointed commission will have the authority to establish space units to the best advantage of every field.
The plan as outlined will put oil and gas conservation in the hands of a three-man commission appointed by the governor and approved by the Senate. One of the men must have 10 years (Continued on Page 2)

began evacuating their Sinai Desert positions last night to wage “total war” against Britain, France and Israel west of the Suez Canal.
The withdrawal was announced by President Gamal
Abdel Nasser and confirmed by Israeli forces who reported the Egyptians in “full retreat.”
The Israeli said they were occupying all of the Sinai peninsula except for scattered pockets. .
Egypt was under round-the-clock air attack from both land and carrier-based British and French planes, and units of the combined fleets were closing in at both ends of the canal in preparations for amphibious landings.
Egypt said the canal already was blocked by a ship sunk in heavy air attacks.
But Nasser vowed defiantly he never would surrender.
PHILADELPHIA — President Eisenhower last night wound up his basic campaign for reelection by flaying Ad-lai E. Stevenson as a political opportunist trying to get into the White House by taking a “political profit” on the middle eastern conflict and offering the country “a design for disaster” in the guise of a plan for peace.
The chief executive, who has canceled other campaign appearances because of the middle eastern situation, concluded his “big” campaign speech program here at Convention Hall before an overcapacity audience, estimated by police at 18,000.

Panel Converts Trojan Mugwumps
By MAR1LEE MILROY
No Mugwumps remain among those who attended the Mortar Board Conversation Hour yesterday.
Learning the importance of the individual vote transformed the Mugwumps (those who sit on the political fence with mug on one side, wump on the other) into eager voters.
Dr. Totten J. Anderson, professor of political science, moderated the panel composed of Ralph Goodson, Trojan Young Republican president; Waiter Williams, Citizens for Eisenhower chairman; Mohinder Bedi, graduate student in political science, and Pat Russell from the League of Women Voters.
‘Duty In Democracy’
In introducing the topic, Dr. Anderson stressed that every person’s vote counts and that the privilege of voting is a “duty in a democracy.”
He cited as an example of the power of relatively individual votes, the case of the election in 1952 when if 851,000 votes had been changed in 14 states, Stevenson would have been president.
"A politician is not someone sitting in a smoky back-room
or a sinister burly man picking up a telephone and causing chaos,” said Walter Williams. Politics is a system by which a “person may get into office and retain it, but it also is a system by which things the public wants can be materialized if the voting power is used.”
Williams stated that a person who makes it a point to under-| stand the issues and candidates feels a loyalty to the govern-1 ment and can be a leader by in-! forming others.
Cerrell Blasts Indifference In speaking about politics and j the individual student, Joe Cer-■ rell emphasized the fact that 1 “politics is government; it is a concrete and tangible force. The trouble in our time is that people : show no interest. Cerrell pointed out that if college students “get acquainted with the issues and | vote, they will correct the situation in the true democratic and j American sense.”
Pat Russell explained the part j of the League of Women Voters ! whose main job is promoting I good government and political responsibility. The league brings non-partisan reviews of the issues and candidates before the public.

I p further on the stage will be the pulpit and lectern.
Chaplain Clinton A. Neyman, acting dean of students, and the Very Rev. James A. Pike, guest speaker, will be seated to the side of the pulpit.
Reverend to Speak
