§11 The most important feature oi the British Welfare State is its broad scope and its Bnpending approach to totalitarian bureaucracy, Dr. Arlien Johnson, dean of the School Social Work, told the Faculty Club at their noon luncheon yesterday.
Dr. Johnson, who returned last June from a five-month trip through Great Brit-|in sponsored by the Fullbright Commission, discussed the difference between the wel-ire systems in the United States
Ind Great Britain with the group. “The thing that impresses you [lost is the fact that the “five liants" in the field of social wel-dealt with completely and fliciently by ministeries,” Dr. jhnson said.
National Assistance “Want is the first of these gilts. National assistance is pro-Ided for all without stigma, and lere is an attempt to give an [ually high standard of living to feryone without discrimination. Vcial insurance is provided for [very possible hazard.
[ Disease is dealt with by a na-)nal health program, completely fee, which 95 per cent of the ritish people use. The philos-)hy of this health service was [)iced by Winston Churchill len he said ‘The healing serv-?s found by medical science are be property of all people.’
Squalor Handled Squalor is handled by an ex-fnsive housing program and a 5wn and country planning proram. More than one third of the JUntry's residential housing was “stroVfed during World War II, id there are still great gaps in le landscape. Because of the reat population and limited jace of the island, careful planing is of the greatest import-lce. The housing situation i6 al-very critical.
The greatest problem with the 3wn planning is that it only [orks in theory. They are build-\g whole towns, including indus-
tries. The only trouble is that you can plan a town, but you can’t plan a human community. There is a tremendous waiting list of people in all income brackets, but the neediest are served first,” Dr. Johnson continued.
Idleness Removed “Idleness of many people since the war has caused great concern among psychologists who are beginning to realize that the problem is greater than just a matter of finding jobs. Great movements of employment exchanges and vocational training have begun, and the industrial rehabilitation unit is amazing.
The work begins in the hospital. It continues through a trial period when the person is studied to see if he is strong enough to work, until a suitable job has been found. This is the most personal of all the welfare services.
Ignorance Covered Ignorance, always a problem in any society, is covered completely in the 1944 Education Act which sets up a school system to provide for the spiritual, moral, mental, and physical health of the community. Movements have been started to raise the age for sorting out children i n public schools from 11 to 15 or 16. The early age, however probably accounts for some of the outstanding people in the country today,” she said.
The programs for health,
impressed Dr. Johnson the most.
“There are a great many old people in Britain,” she said, “many of whom work far past the retirement age. Voluntary groups are helpful in providing them with food and company, and their housing projects have been broken down into smaller units so that they can mingle with younger people and are not made to feel that they are outcasts.
Five Welfare Ministries
In Britain they have five ministries devoted entirely to welfare work, and a great number of voluntary organizations helping them. But when you get down to local government the theory doesn’t work. People need more than these services. In the United States social work has been done on an individualistic basis, but in Britain the people are handled in great masses, because it is a mass problem.
With the total dissemination of the great sources of personal wealth, the volunteer agencies have come to depend almost entirely on public funds. Without voluntary effort the welfare state becomes a bureaucracy that is unendurable.”
Fortunately the labor government has become aware of this problem. Dr. Johnson said, and is even now promoting investigation into better methods with wThich it would still be possible to handle as many people as they are
PALOS VERDES NAMED AS SENIOR DITCH LOCATION
A panorama of the Pacific will be viewed from the Portuguese Bend Club in Palos Verdes by students attending Senior Ditch Day early in May.

Ball to Have Circus Motif
This year’s Beaux Arts Ball, the annual dance put on by the School of Architecture, will be held on Apr. 30 at the Chase Hotel, Rudy Veland, dance publicity chairman, said today.
“The Circus” will be the theme of the second annual masquerade ball which last year drew a huge crowd of students.
“This prromises to be one of the greatest social events of the semester,” Veland said. “We have many celebrities scheduled to appear.”
Gordon Boyce, president of the board of trustees of the experiment in international living, will attend a luncheon today with the School of International Relations faculty, followed by an open meeting with students at 2:30 p.m.
Founded in 1932 by Donald B. Watt, the experiment in international living is an educational institution whose purpose is to further understanding among peoples of the world to broaden the basis for world peace.
This nonsectarian, non profit corporation facilitates international education by providing opportunities for young people between the ages of 16 and 30 to travel abroad.
The students travel abroad under the guidance of competent, experienced leaders and are placed individually in carefully selected families. Living with a foreign family offers a student an opportunity to learn about another nation through sharing in the daily routine of work and recreation.
There are many purposes for starting this experiment in Inter national living. It helps people to live together by living together. The individual learns to live with people of another country, and thereby, adjusts to the new situations he encounters abroad.
Boyce, former assistant to the president of Colgate University and a writer, will speak about the program and explain what his office is attempting to do to promote living abroad.
Hot Charges Link Party With Underground TNE; Spokesman Denies Claim
The Student Conservative Party was turned down emphatically and charged with TNE domination when it requested approval as an official campus party from the ASSC Senate last night.

SC Party Appoints Goodman As Head of Mechanics Group
Dick Goodman, Tau Epsilon Phi, was appointed general mechanics chairman of the Student Conservative party by Party Chairman Jack Pursell at the steering committee meeting Tuesday night.
Other committee chairmen named at the meeting were Jerry Wolfe, platform committee and Stan Drury, finance committee. Paul Sislin will head the mechanics subcommittee.
In a discussion of recent political developments, the steering committee seemed in agreement on the following conclusions:
1.	The show of strength behind Barbara Frank in the special election was encouraging even though she lost. Tne 600 votes for Miss Frank indicated that she received support not only from the SC Party but also protest votes against the practices and one-party propaganda of TRG.
2.	The SC party welcomes non-Row students into its membership.
3.	The SC party has nothing to do with TNE. TRG propagandists are guilty of a giant smear campaign on this count.
4.	While the SC party steering committee meetings are open to the press, the inner circle of TRG meets in secret to decide party policies. The whole slate of major TRG nominations has already been set by this controlling faction led by the Miami Triad houses (Sigma Chi, Phi Delta Theta and Beta Theta Pi).
5.	The SC party refuses to meet the TRG smear cam paign with a counter smear campaign.
Alumni Day Activities Slated to Begin May 7
Preparations for this year’s Alumni Day are moving into high gear, according to ASSC Social Committee Chairman Barry Greenberg.
The special day for ex-Trojans has been set for May 7 and will be held on campus. Working with the social committee will be Mildred Younger,
senatorial candidate in last November’s state election, and Arnold Eddy, executive director of the Alumni Association.
“We feel that this year’s Alumni Day will be the most organized event of its kind held on campus,” Greenberg said. “We’ve scheduled athletic activities and
spokesman Al Crawford.
The Senate turned down the petition for recognition and use of campUs facilities by a 25-4-3 vote after senators presented two major arguments against the SC party:
Reasons
1—That	it is controlled by Theta Nu Epsilon, a secret political organization which has for many years tried to dominate campus politics with dishonest tactics.
2—That	its constitution gives primary power in selection of candidates to a self-perpetuating, steering committee instead of to the party as a whole.
In a speech choked with emotion, Van Alstyne charged that “the active membership of this party is the active membership of TNE directly,” and said he would resign if the Senate approved the Party.
Joined to Destroy “I ran with a front organization for TNE (the SC Party) so would be elected and have a chance to eliminate them (TNE) from campus,” the student body president said. He charged the TNE group with attempted br.b* \ es, ballot box stuffing, and secretly rotating nominations among houses rather than selecting candidates on merit basis.
Van Alstyne said the SC party should not be allowed < simply because of the need for opposition to TRG, the only recognized party. He asked for opposition to TRG from a group outside TNE and "not from a force which has brought viciousness and corruption to this campus for 20 years.”
No Proof Senators arguing for approval of the party 6aid that an opposition party is needed, the SC constitution was in order, and no conclusive proof of the connection between the party and TNE is available.
Weintraub admitted being a former member of TNE, stated that the subversive organization

SolonsApprove Navy Program For Atom Subs
By United Press
WASHINGTON — The House Armed Services Committee approved an atomic-age Navy construction program calling for three more atom-powered submarines, a fifth super aircraft carrier and conversion of more guided missile ships.
The $1,317,000,000 program provides for 24 new warships and 24 conversions. It was sent to the House on a 34 to 0 vote after the committee voted 19 to 3 to name the latest of the big $200,-000.000 carriers the “U.S.S. Congress.”
Navy Secretary Charles S. Thomas told the committee Monday that the new 60,000-ton Forrestal class carriers can launch atomic attacks at .targets more than 1,000 miles away. He also disclosed plans to convert four more cruisers into guided missile j ships within a year.
The cruisers will be equipped to fire surface-to-surface missiles, presumably with atomic warheads. The Navy earlier announced plans to convert two other cruisers, the Canberra and Boston. to surface-to-air guided missile operations this year.
The committee-approved program, for the fiscal year startin'^ July 1, provides for three more atomic-powered submarines.
committee of the SC Party, and corroborated Van Alstyne’s charges of ballot stuffing, bribery, and similar tactics.
Senator-at-large Murray Bring objected to Van Alstyne’s putting the decision on a personal vote of confidence basis as “silly and childish tactics.” However, Bring objected to approving the party on the basis that the constitution was undemocratic in its delegation of major powers to the | small steering committee.
“I’m sure TNE doesn’t control j the SC party. You’re acting on j false accusations,” Crawford said in defending the party. He added j that he believes TNE to be dead | since its dissolution last year.
In the early moments of the meeting the Senate approved the appointment of Jerry Nace as Trojan Chest chairman for the camoaign pext month. Nace had previously been appointed chairman at the last meeting but had to be reappointed after the drive was consolidated with the Troy Camp drive.
A list showing what percentage of the proceeds will go to e.°ch group under the Chest will be presented at the next Senate meeting, according to Nace.
Joe Cerrell, a proxy senator, launched an investigation into coffee consumption on campus, declaring that SC students are being fed greasy coffee and cc'-fee diluted with chicory. Cerrrll added that coffee on camnus sells for 8 cents a cup but elsewhere sells for as little as 5 cents.
Religious Subject Opens Y Series
