Army Chief Taylor To Address Institute
General Maxwell D. Taylor, chief-of-staff. United States Army, will pursue questions eon-corning limited war when ho speaks before members of SC's Institute of World Affairs to-n ght al 8 at Huntington-Shera-lon Hotel in Pasadena.
In his address, “Improving Our Capabilities for Limited War." the general will define limited war and explain its importance and requirements as well as ouiline significant stei.s to cope with it.
Other S|K*akers Other speakers of the day are Professors Paul L. Beckett. State C ollege of Washington, and H. Arthur Steiner. UCLA, at 9 a.m. Dr. Arthur Coons, president of Occidental College, will deliver an address at 2 p.m. as will Robert Strausz-Hupe. director of 1 hr Foreign Policy Research In-St it ute. University of Pennsyl-\ania. at 8 p.m.
Last night the bishop of Cali-f o r n i a s Protestant Episcopal Church challenged political and religious forces in America to seek more constructive methods of communicating with the uncommitted nations of the world.
Mure Materialistic
The lit. Rev. James A. Pike 1old a capacity audience at the opening session of the institute that, to much of the world, America looks more materialistic 1han the Communist system.
"When Communist emissaries go, for exa.nple, to South East Asia, they fit themselves into the culture and scale of the people. learning about Buddhism and speaking in terms of the spiritual heritage of the people there. Virtually all of the Communist emissaries speak ihe language of the people, being requited to learn it; very few of oyrs do.” he said.
Flaunt Food When American emissaries go Into Ihese places they flaunt — consciously or unconsciously— their material advantages in terms of food flown in from America. In addition, their elaborateness of living is markedly different from the standard of living of the local citizen, he asserted.
The Rt. Rev. Mr. Pike said that in many countries to which we go, we disgust the poverty-stricken indigenous folk with our "fleshy concerns.”
Fse Spiritually He maintained that the United States does have an advantage over Ihe Soviet Union in 1 hat we essentially believe that material things are important as long as they are used for spiritual purposes.
"But we cannot possibly get this idea across, unless we revise our main focus, enabling
peoples in these nations to build up their own resources through education, through agronomy, etc., so that they may have the opportunity of expressing their spiritual purposes in material ways,” he said.
Arms and Roads
Currentlv we are putting to the fore provisions of arms and paved roads for which these people have no equipment that can be used on them, he stated.
“We are thinking of our own immediate material possibilities in winning by force in those cfreas should a crisis come. In the last analysis we will not win by arms, but by the transmission of the best ideals and practice as to the relationship of the spirit to material things, and bv identification with the other nations’ people through our personnel and the use of resources.
In his final challenge, the Rt. Rev. Mr. Pike asked:
“Cannot we find better ways to communicate the best understanding of the relationship of spirit and matter, rather than appearing to be concerneu only with material things?”

Arctic Trek Talk Today
Excerpts from the journal that Commander Robert F. Scott kept on his last expetition into the Antarctic will be read by Alexander H.‘ Chorney today at 12:30 p.m. in 129 FH.
Chorney, instructor in English, said that he selected the book because “it is a vivid account of man's struggle against the elements.”
“Another reason why I picked the book,” Chorney said, “is that it is rich in human values. Although Scott was beaten in the race to.the pole by the Norwegian Raold Anundsen, it is Scott's expedition that stirs our imagination and inspires us with the heorism of its men.”
Chorney will read those selections of Scott’s journal which he says provide insight into the kind of man Scott was.
“Scott was a paradoxical mix-Uire of the romantic idealist and the practical man.
“When he and his men died of hunger and cold, 11 miles from their next base, they did so with .dignity and without bitterness or recrimination.” Chornev said.
Tree s Effect On Blood Ills Will Be Told
The use of Australian tree extracts- in reducing ‘ high blood pressure will be discussed by Dr. R. C. Elderfield, professor of chemistry at the University of Michigan, this evening at S in 129 FH. when he speakes before the Sigma Xi Science Society.
Dr. Elderfiel is expected to emphasize newly discovered compounds obtained from the Australian Alstonia tree that may be more effective than those presently used to depress high blood pressure. The most widely used compound, reser-pine. is obtained from Indian snake root, related botanically to northern Australian trees.
In northern Australia and nearby islands, many members of the botanical species Alstonia of the Apocynaceae family are found. Formerly extracts of the bark of these trees enjoyed a reputation in the local folk lore as effective agents against malaria. With the destruction of malaria in the area, and with the decline in interest in the barks as antimalarials. new inteerst in their possible effect on depressing high blood pressure has arisen, Dr. Elderfield points out.
He received his B.A. from Williams College and his Ph.D from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He was an assistant at , the Rockefeller Institute as well : as assistant professor at Columbia University before becoming a professor at 1he University of j Michigan in 1952.
He has done extensive research on alkaloids, the chemistry of explosives, chemotherapy and cardiac drugs.
Dr. Elderfield is a member of the National Academy of Science, the American Chemical Society, the National Malaria Society and the American Society of Biological Chemistry.
In addition, he edited the Tre-j atise on Heterocyclics and the ; Journal of Organic Chemistry.

P.E. Sets Motor, Movement Plan
The physical education department is supplementing its regular athletic traning with a program of movement and motor research.
It is designed to test movement patterns of all the muscle groups of the human anatomy under different conditions, said Dr. Chet Palmer, head of the laboratory.
This idea was adopted at SC last year when Dr. Palmer was appointed to run the laboratory by a committee of physical education professors, headed by Professor John Cooper.
A few of the mechanical aids to the answers are a bicycle er-gometer to measure work output. a Recordak which records analysis of movement on film, and a treadmill to set measurable, mental and physical stresses.
The study combines aspects of
Police May Stop Any Criminal Action
A special report recommending possible action against members of the Trojan Knights who planted the now infamous bomb in the Coliseum is being compiled this afternoon by the SC Student Activities Committee.
The report, an accumulation of the facts taken from
an all-Friday interview session, ‘
will be presented to President Norman Topping early this week.
Police officials today reported that the bomb, which failed to explode, probably would be written off as a college prank and that no criminal action would be taken.
Two Tell Story
However official university' action is still expected upon completion of the committee’s report.
Dave Visel and Neil Baizer, both members of the Knights, surrendered to Lt. W. R. Porter of the University Police Thursday and admitted that they had made and planted the bomb.

Only Flash
Visel, a former chemical engineering student (now a history major) said that it was harmless, however, and insisted that after he made it he tested it and all that was produced was a “flash explosion.”
Capt. Jack Swan, commander of the University Police, admitted that after a test of a similar bomb, all that was produced was the “flash explosion” Visel had described.
However, D. A. Wolfer. explosives man of the Police Crime Lab, said that this type of homemade bomb is extremely dangerous and powerful.

Vincent Van Gogh will go on display Wednesday in the downstairs gallery of Los Angeles’ County Museum.
Among the works of Van Gogh scheduled for exhibition at the Museum through January 18 are many famous paintings never be fore seen in the U.S.
They are part of the valuable collection flown in from its permanent headquarters in Amster« dam. Holland, for showing on the West Coast. The exhibit is considered the world’s largest and most comprehensive collection of Van Gogh paintings, drawings and water colors. ♦
Also on display at the Museum are four rare sapphires valued at more than 55,000, recently donated by prominent Southland merchant William E. Phillips. Most valuable of the four sap phires is a cornflower blue stone apparaised at $2,911 and weighing 28.82 carats. A Black Star 57 carat sapphire is the largest of the four gems.
The sapphires join a number of other outstanding precious stones located in the Museum's Hall of Minerals. Included among the gems annually presented by

Senate Failing Because It Lacks Leadership--Somer
Poetry Contest Deadline Moved
The American College Poetry Society’s poetry contest deadline has been extended two weeks to Dec. 15, Executive Secretary Alan C. Fox announce today.
Original poetry7 from college students on any subject is eligible, Fox said, and the winning work will be published in an antholog.v which will be printed i conventional this winter.
(Editors Xote—This is the /irst of a series of articles by Daily Trojan Senate reporter Joe Saltzman in which members of SC’s student government attempt to evaluate the Senate, its weaknesses £nd its virtues.)
By JOE SALTZMAX Senior Class President Abe Somer exchanged his unconvincing political chair in the ASSC Senate for a constructive and informative soap-box when he decried the “lack of leadership” w'hich is the main reason why the Senate has not accomplished anything significant this year.
“And as long as Scott FitzRandolph remains a montor rather than a leader, the Senate will still fail to accomplish anything constructive,” he declared.
Pressure Needed Somer admitted that FitzRan-dolph had come a long way from the first Senate meeting, hut he repeated that there is an urgent need “of a stronger control of the Senate.”
“There is a key difference between a leader and a montor,” he explained. “We need the pressure of sound leadership and FitzRandolph must accept this responsibility.”
He said the other reason the Senate is not reaching its full potential is that the senators are “afraid to talk.”
“Take the Independent Men’s Representative Harold Fong,” he said, “I'm sure that he has said only' one sentence all year.
Some in Dark “The only reason many of the senators show up is to keep their seats warm: they
adjournment and' nod their heads to keep awake.”
In addition the senators never know what is going to happen at the meeting until they look at the agenda that night.
“We find out during the day what we are going to do at the Senate meeting either by reading it in the Daily Trojan or by word of mouth,” he said.
“The legislation is received in the form of a bombshell and we argue about ‘points of information’ which would be disregarded
“could to be

. . . senate critic
if wTe were acquainted with the legislation on hand.”
Ilis solution to this problem was that FitzRandolph should “mail out the possible topics of
say yes to roi* call and yes for legislation a week before the
actual meeting.”
“The senators,” he said, then check the motions given that night and find out something about them. Then, when they come to the meeting, they will be acquainted with the business on hand and can deal with it effectively and efficiently.”
Somer also pointed out that the Senate would be more effective if Vice President Mardythe O’Mara should help FitzRandolph with all the legislation. “She should do what Joe Hillings. administrative assistant, was appointed to do.
Official Hostess “The reason why she can not help FitzRandolph! however, it because she is bogged down with all the social activities of the campus,” he said.
“By having, let’s say, two vice presidents, one could be the official hostess of the campus (O’Mara’s role now) and the other could act as FitzRandolph's second vice.” he explained.
“As it now stands,” he emphasized, “she just doesn’t, have th*» time, hence the administrative assistant position.”
Another pet peeve of the senior president is the lack of effort on the part of the Senate to live up to the Idyllwild's ideals. .
Petty Talks
“The conclusions reached at Idyllwild were specific, tremendous legislation which would not only help the student body but would let the Senate operate i»i a successful academic sphere,” he said.	9
