S. MAY LOSE OUT N RACE FOR ARMS
Russia Could Ignite Possible 1960 War
By Barbara Cowgill
The United States faces the extreme danger of losing he armaments race in only five years, Robert E. Vivian, ean of the School of Engineering, said yesterday.
“Russia won’t hesitate to start a war in a few years be-ause if present conditions continue, she will be vastly head erf us in war power,” Dean
ivian said.
Russia graduated 50.000 engi-:rs and scientists last year while the U. S. 'only graduated 20,000, Dr. M. H. Trytten told the American Society of Mechan-'cal Engineers in Milwaukee.
“Communists are trying to tall now because for the pres-nt the U. S. is ahead in techno-ogical development,” he con-inued.
No Monopoly on Brains Many Americans were surpris-when the Russians developed hydrogen bomh so soon after -e did, Dean Vivian said. “Americans believe too easily at the U. S. has a monopoly on rains.”
No American could be naive nough to believe that the Rus-ians just “6tole the plans,” that he communists don’t have enough rain power to develop a bomb, e said.
“The Russian hydrogen bomb roved that Soviet knowledge is ual to ours.”
The danger isn’t only that the ussians can make bombs, too, ut that with this vast scientific rmy the communists will find 'tter wav6 of delivering this ‘sure death,” the dean said. So-

viet scientists may develop better aircraft, more effective radar systems, and better ways of bringing invading planes down, he added.
Russia Would Think Twice
But there is an alternative that would make the Russians “think twice” before starting a war.	•
“In 1950 the United States graduated more than 50,000 scientists and engineers, proving that we can do it,” Dean Vivian said.
The World War II veterans, subsidized by government funds, were encouraged to continue in school. Now only a few Korean veterans are in school under the Gl Bill. Because of financial reasons mainly, half of the men who might become good engineers or scientists stop their education after high school.
“But in Russia, any boy who 6hows scientific promise is subsidized completely, even with room and board,” Dean Vivian said.
Work for Government
Then Russian engineers and scientists all work for the government. In the U. S. the ma-pority of engineers and scientists work for private enterprise and are not all concentrated on war effort, Dean Vivian said.
Congressmen have realized that the lack of trained men might destroy the country. Bill H.R. 2179 to supply scholarships to increase the technical and scientific manpower in the U. S. Is now in committee.
“I can’t recommend the bill yet because I haven’t studied it carefully,” Dean Vivian said.
But there is an important need fo? government and private subsidizing of worthy young men who wish to go into science or engineering.
HE-MEN GROW BEARDS FOR ENGINEER'S WEEK
If you see any black-bearded men roaming around campus waving slide rules, don’t be frightened, because they’re only engineers celebrating Engineering Week.
Rich Haskell, president of the School of Engineering, says that peach fuzz, at least, must appear on tbe faces of all loyal engineers. Violaters will be subject to kangaroo court procedures unless they purchase a 25-cent clean face permit.
Convicted traitors will be taken around campus in a mobile jail for all to see, Haskell says.
Tomorrow, Wednesday and Friday, trials will be held in front of Founders Hall from 11:45 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. with Judge Joseph Smatko presiding.
Engineering Queen June Wilson will award the Beaver Trophy to the most stubble-faced engineer at an assembly beginning at 12:30 p.m. Friday in 133 FH.
At 2 Friday afternoon engineers will have a picnic in Exposition Park. Dress foy all day Friday will be levis and T-shirts, Haskells says.
All the engineers will remove their furry fuzz to enjoy the Slide Rule Swing Friday evening.
Working with Haskell are Ben Levine and Paul Jollie on publicity, Conrad Solum on the kangaroo court, and John Wilson and Sid Deem on outside publicity. Wilson and Deem will appear on Johnny Grant’s Show on KMPC from 2-5 this afternoon with Miss Wilson.

The issue in the great statue controversy is not whether the work is good or bad but whether the normal process of city government is to be upheld, Donald Goodall, head of the fine arts department, said yesterday in a Daily Trojan interview.
two commissions cTiarged with the responsibility of approving all new public buildings and their adornments,” Goodall said.
“Mayor Poulson appointed the commissions whose members are private citizens. The council approved the mayor’s appointments, but now certain council members are seeking to revise the decision of both the Public Building Commission and the Art Commission which approved the statue.” Symbolic Work Goodall explained that the Rosenthal work was symbolic rather than descriptive in nature.
“The symbolic intension is to show a family protected by the authority of the police. I believe the artist’s idea to be a good one,” he said.
During the discussion on “Confidential File,” the issue of subversion and Communism was raised in connection with modern art.
Art Forms Taboo
Commenting on this phase of the controversy, Goodall said that arm forms such as created by Rosenthal were taboo in totalitarian states.
“The totalitarian state is always distrustful of this kind of art because it represents a free play of ideas, and this is the last thing a state of this type wants.
“Rosenthal’s art would be called an example of ‘bourgeois decadence’ in Russia today,” said Goodall.
He concluded by asking a question of his own.

TV Exec To Speak At Noon
KTLA Leader Set To List Openings In Television Today
Klaus Landsberg, vice president of Paramount Television and general manager of KTLA, will address members and guests o£ Tau Alpha Sigma, national professional television fraternity, today at noon in the* faculty dining room.
He will speak about “Opportunities in Television For College Students,” according to Don Daves, chapter president.
Landsberg is a pioneer in television and is nationally famous for his contributions to the field. The Saturday Evening Post commented that “Landsberg is one of the interesting figures in the new industry.” Time Magazine said “Landsberg has been working with electronics for more than half his life,” and Newsweek praised him by saying “Landsberg has moved the industry.”
Though only in his 30s, Landsberg is noted as “an engineering genius” in the TV world, having experimented with it since his teens.
Landsberg has obtained degrees in engineering and communications from the Universities of Berlin and Prague.
In 1952, Landsberg’s KTLA covered the atomic bomb blast. The show was seen by 35 million viewers.
Landsberg claims that SC is his “pet” school on the coast. This is readily proved by the many SC shows seen on channel 5 including “Teleforum” and the “City at Night” series which covers Homecoming events.
Tau Alpha Sigma was established on the SC campus last year. “This will be our biggest year,” said Daves. We are planning a TV workshop for members and an employments bureau for graduates.”
Guests to attend the luncheon today include: Leona Wilson, instructor in TV; Edward DeRoo, instructor in TV; Willis Duniway, publicity director of the University; and Allen Arthur, Diamond Jubilee promotion director.
FRANK TO RUN AGAINST TRG
Ad Group Plans First Luncheon
Alpha Delta Sigma, the professional advertising fraternity, will have its first luncheon of the semester Friday noon in section “B” of the Commons Cafeteria.
All those interested in obtaining more information concerning the activities of ADS should notify Carl Fenig at WE 3-2048, or the secretary in 100 Br.
Chicago Dean To Speak at Y Dinner Friday
The current isolation .of man in today’s society provides the material from which William N. Hawley will base his lecture, “To Be Is to Cry,” Friday noon in the YWCA following the buffet luncheon.
Hawley, dean of students and acting dean of the Divinity School of the University of Chicago, is currently on a three-week speaking tour of the Pacific Southwest region for the YMCA and YWCA.
He received his AB degree from the Ohio Wesleyan University and his AM and DB degrees at the University of Chicago. He also served as platform speaker at the Geneva Conference and delivered the addresses at Asilomar in 1953.
Former DT Editors at A-Bomb Test
Two former city editors of the Daily Trojan covered the atom bomb test in Las Vegas Friday.
They were Colin McKinley, class of ’51, now city editor of the Las Vegas Sun, and Charles Denton, class of ’49, staff correspondent for International News Service in Los Angeles.
Marvin Miles, class of ’33, aviation editor of the Los Angeles Times, was another School of Journalism alumnus reporting the test.
Barbara Frank yesterday announced that she would run independently for ASSC Secretary against TRG-sponsored Sue Corwin.
The Student Conservative party will also choose a candidate for secretary according to party chairman Jack Purcell. He added that “the SC party is far from dead.”
In further political develop ments, Elections Commissioner Bette Dobkin said the senator-at large post held by’Jim Lea has been vacated by Lea’s withdrawal from school. That office, the position of secretary-, and the post of veterans’ representative will all be filled at the special elections March 2 and 3.
Petitions for these offices must be turned into the ASSC office, 215 SU, by 3:15 p.m. tomorrow. All candidates or their representatives should meet with Mrs. Dobkin at that time.
Party chairman Purcell said SC-backed candidates will be chosen at a meeting today. He explained that he didn’t know if the party would run candidates for all offices since that decision must be made by the members. He said the party had decided to back a secretarial candidate at an earlier meeting.
Miss Frank was earlier assumed to have TRG backing for secretary as the only candidate for the office but official endorsement went to Miss Corwin.
Speaking of Miss Frank running against his party candidate, TRG Chairman Joe Cerrell said, “Her opposition would not be good for the Alpha Gamma Delta house (Miss Frank's sorority in the spring election.”
Miss Frank replied that TRG had never helped her sorority, politically, in the past “and we don’t see how it will help us in the future.”
Commerce President Don Robinson announced that a grade of IW had been made up and he will still be eligible to hold office. Freshman President Bob Poindexter received a grade average below the necessary 2.0 as the result of a clerical error which has been corrected and he too will continue to hold office.
TRG has yet to announce its candidate for veterans’ representative or senator-at-large. The TRG choice for veterans’ representative has narrowed down to Carlos Martinez and Jerry Detwiler.
Politicos Here Get Experience
By Margaret Christensen
Campus politics can servt as a springboard into politics on the state or national level, according to Assemblyman Jesse M. Unruh, who spoke to the first weekly series of Wesley Forums at noon yesterday.
Unruh, who represents the 6'5th district, stressed that he
considered the two most important facets of politics could be learned through participation in school or community politics.
Middle Road Best
“Politics is made up of the extreme left,- the extreme right, and the area between, which I call the area of reasonability. It is in this area, where people are able to disassociate political stands from personalities, that the most constructive work is done,” he said.
He illustrated this point by saying that the only friends Sen. Joseph McCarthy has were made, not because of the things he was doing, or the way he was doing them, but because of his personal attributes.
Learn to Compromise
Unruh said that he considered the ability to recognize the necessity for compromise the second important phase of politics that can be learned on- the college level.
‘Although a militant personality is necessary to carry the message to the people, the 100 percenters are seldom the most effective legislators. It is the people who can compromise who will get the most work done,” Unruh said.
‘However, compromise for th# sake of compromise is even less effective,” he continued. “You must have a definite stand or you have no bargaining point.”__________
