NEW YORK — (UP) — The biggest stack of toys and games in history — more than SI billion worth — will be nestled under this year's Christmas trees.

Armed Car, Guard Bring Bell Back
By BILL HINCKLEY
A large, bulletproof truck rumbled up to the Student Union Monday morning and ground to a halt. On its side was a sign which read, “Armored Transport of Los Angeles, Inc.”
The doors swung open armed with -38's climbed out, dragging its cargo.
The Victory Bell was finally i home again.
Although it still bore a blue and gold paint job, it was offi- ; daily SC's after last Saturday's 10-7 victory over UCLA. And the blue and gold paint was removed for the first time since 1952, and replaced by a more j appropriate and eve-catching coat of cardinal and gold.
Wary Bruins
Knight President Jack Casey, ; who took delivery of the bell. : and other Trojans on hand to witness its return w ere amazed i and fascinated at the extreme; care taken by the Bruins in returning the trophy.
But the DT learned yesterday that UCLA has transported the bell in an armored vehicle on i all important or potentially "dangerous” occasions during their three-year possession.
According to S. A. Reel. UCLA purchasing agent, “We began doing busirn-* with Armored Transport of Los Angeles when we won the bell in 1953. Of course its material value is not great, but still there seem to be large numbers of people interested in stealing it. So we felt it was safer in an armored : truck.”
Reel added that due to the peculiar dimensions of the bell s chassis a special truck wil ft larger doors was always required to carry it. The trip from j UCLA to SC with the bell cost |
and three uniformed men
the Bruins “in the neighborhood of $50.” he said.
Bell Guards Armed
Joe DeSalvo, general manager of Armored Transport ol Los Angeles, observed that tne bell was always carried in “a fully armored vehicle, equipped with bulletproof glass, and manned by armed guards.”
The Victory Bell is now hidden in a location known only to Casey and other persons charged with its custody.
In 1939 the bell was presented to UCLA by the alumni association there, and two years later was stolen by SC students. During the following year it remained hidden and then SC agreed to make it a football trophy, and it has changed hands periodically ever since.
The former railroad locomotive bell weighs 295 pounds with

chairman of the library committee, Dr. Stieg attempted to an-answer charges brought against the library by various members of the student body and the Daily Trojan.
“We are happy that the students are interested in the library and that this is a university where students use their library,” Dean Kingsley said. “We would be unhappy if there were no reaction from the student body,” he added.
According to Dr Stieg, library officials began work one year ago to improve Doheny service.
“We have been converting the positions filled by student assistants to jobs performed by full time clerical workers,” he said.
Dr. Stieg said that getting competent personnel from the Los Angeles area to work at the university library is his biggest problem. *
“The salaries the university offer are adequate when compared to what is being paid in L.A., ' he said. “There simply are not enough people in the field to meet the large demand for library workers.”
which con-ving students in is the fact that students come to the university library, which houses 750.000 books, from highschool libraries, w hich house approximately 3,000 books.
“Students have to grow up over night in their use of the library,” Dr. Stieg said. “We have made plans to bring the 900 students who enroll in the freshman English classes to the library and teach them how to use it.’’
The library is presently working with the cinema department on a script for a film on library procedure to be shown sometime in the future during the orientation periods each year.
Commenting on whether undergraduates could be allowed to go into the stacks to find their own books. Dr. Stieg said that only one university in the country. Princeton, allows this.
“Stanford and Northwestern universities tried the plan and gave it up when they found that the students were lost and not able to find their own books,” he said.
The librarian said that the reason students are unable to obtain some books is that the books have been stolen by or not
“We would like to place a pro- retu™ed by the some 5.000 grad-

fessionally trained librarian in the reference room to show* students how to use the card files and answer any questions, but have been unable to find someone to fill the position,” Dr. | Stieg said.
Another problem with which library officials ace concerned and which contributes to delaying the servicing of books to students, is the lack of at Doheny.
“We have 200,000 more volumes than our present building can hold,” the librarian said. "We need additional facilities to house books.”
Doheny Memorial Library will celebrate its 25th anniversary in 1957,” according to Stieg. “When it opened we rattled around in it, but in 1933 and 1943 the number of books doubled.” he said.
According to Dr. Stieg, when the Western College Association visited the University last year, officials from that group commented “favorably” on all facets of the library except the space.
uate students who are able to go | into the stacks to get their
j books.
“These students seem to have I no sense of responsibility toward the university or the other stu-| dents,” Dr. Stieg said.
According to the librarian, the I university library offers services J that are not offered by public J libraries.
"Each student receives personal help at Doheny.” he said. “If a book is not available for a student we are able to tell him who has the book, when it will be available, and offer substitutes for it. We give personal help to the person who comes to the library.”
Dr. Stieg added that SC has one of the two accredited Library Schools in California.
“Our annual graduating’class from the Library School numbers about 60 people, but we could accommodate more if there were more competent students interested in library work,” he said.

Hungarian labor leaders admitted they were virtually helpless. Cold and hunger were breaking up their “total strike” and sending workers back to the job.
