Motion Pictures Taken In
Afghanistan A r e High-
Light Of Lecture
Subject Of Speech
Changed To India
First Authentic P i c t u r e s
Of The Notorious Car Of
Juggernaut Are Shown
Lowell Thomas, adventure seeker,
last night described conditions in In-
dia, Afghanistan, Baluchistan, and
neighboring countries, in an ilustrat-
ed lecture at Hill Auditorium, the
first of the Oratorical Association
series.
. The highlight of the lecture was,
perhaps, actual motion pictures taken
in Afghanistan. They were, according
to Mr. Thomas, the first motion pic-,
tures that ever have been brought
from that country, which ordinarily
forbids foreigners entrance.
Another high spot was several hun-
dred feet of film picturing the bien-
nial excursion of the famed Car of
Juggernaut. These pictures, also, are
the only authentic ones of the no-
torious Car, Mr. Thomas stated. "You
may have seen movies -of imitations,
but never of the original car," he
said.
The original subject of the lecture
was to have been, "From Singapore
to Mandalay." Through a change in
plans, the Indian lecture was decided
upon.
"I went to India several years ago
while on a 'round the world tour,
talking about "With Lawrence in
Arabia," said Mr. Thomas, in open-
ing his lecture. "I was so impressed
with the country that I went back
later, travelling 60,000 miles through
India and its neighboring countries."
India, he pointed out, worships
more than 33,000,000 gods, which
would equal almost a quarter of the
population of America.
Before the British occupation of
India, he said, a famine might carryj
away anywhere from 1,000,000 to 5,-i
000,000 inhabitants. Britain, however,t
has extended railways throughout the
country, so that relief can quickly be~
rushed to .afflicted localities.
By C. HART SCHAFF
"I shall vote for Roosevelt," said
Prof. Oscar J. Campbell in a Daily
interview yesterday, "first, because
the policies of the Republican party
for the past twelve years are largely
responsible for the depression."
Professor .Campbell enlarged upon
this statement by declaring that
"(1) To assume no interest in Euro-
pean affairs (2) yet to insist on pay-
ment of war debts, (3) to raise the
tariff so high that they cannot be
paid by goods, and (4) to lend these
debtors money to pay for our goods
with our own money, is to invite
paralysis of trade and virulent eco-
nomic disease.
Ghastly Failures
"In the second place," Professor
Campbell said, "the two positive
achievements of Hoover's adminis-
tration have been, in my opinion,
ghastly failures. The Grundy tariff,
intended to benefit the farmer, raised
the duties on industrial products so
much that agriculture was worse off
than ever. The measure stimulated
retaliatory tariffs, which have (1)
paralyzed our export trade and (2)
forcedyAmerican manufacturers to
invest $1,100,000 in factories in Can-
ada alone. In other words, American
business has been forced abroad in
order to live. The Agricultural Mar-
keting Act, even Hoover now admits,
has been a complete failure. With1
corn at 12 cents and wheat lower'
than at any time since the age oft
Queen Elizabeth, every farmer agrees.
"In the third place," Professor
Campbell declared, "the Republicans
have no intelligent program of re-
form. The palliative measures, all
necessary, passed through the loyal
co-operation of both parties, relieved
the emergency; they do not touch its
causes. In fact, the whole republican
theory is laissez-faire or stand-pat.
Hang on and let time cure. The fu-
ture will correct itself. Nowhere is
there any indication or vision, fore-
sight or social planning. The one
cure suggested for everything is to
raise the tariff still higher!
Hoover Unfit
"In the next place," he said,
"Hoover has shown himself tempera-
mentally unsuited for the presidency.
He tends not to face facts coura-
geously or to meet crises promptly.
The tariff bill flouted all his previ-
ously announced opinions on the
subject, yet he signed it. He tried
to obscure and confuse the report of
the Wickersham Commission, be-
cause he dared not face the plain
implications of that document. He
delayed the moratorium until the
eleventh hour and then acted only
after the repeated and insistent de-
mands of economists. He refused to
recognize the facts of the financial
crisis for two years. He tried to con-
jure prosperity back from 'around
the corner' by words. He discouraged
all action based on the facts. Hey
would have nothing to do with na-
tional labor-exchanges and, least of
all, with direct relief of the destitute.
He even recommended and got a re-a
duction in the income tax.#

Toledo Youth Arrested
For Stealing Programs
Edward Sysloski, 21, of Toledo,
Ohio, was arrested yesterday during
the football game for stealing foot-
ball programs, and was taken to the
police station.
Alistair Mitchell, '33E, manager
of football programs, said that the
theft of programs was first discov-
eredsbefore the game, when one of
the salesmen in front of the Union
reported 100 of his programs missing.
Sysloski was found later at the stad-
ium where he denied stealing them,
gave up the programs and was re-
leased. At the half another salesman
reported the theft of between 100
and 200 programs. Again they
searched the grounds for someone
who was not one of the salesman.
When they found Sysloski he was
attempting to conceal the books. He
denied that he had stolen them, and
stated that someone had given them
to him.

Pitt Conquers

Overcome Mighty Notre,
Danie Eleven, In Rally
PITTSBURGH, Oct. 29.-(/P)--A
mighty Notre Damec eleven today mnet
the Panthers of Pittsburgh, and went
down to a 12 to 0 defeat in one of
the greatest upsets of all time.
Late in the final period, Pittsburgh
made a mighty rally which brought
them two touchdowns. First Hogan,
quarterback, snared one of Ko-
ken's passes on his own 27-yard line.
This started a thrilling Pitt drive in
which Heller, Mike Sebastian and
Weinstock starred. This brought the
play to Notre Dame's 45-yard line.
At this point, Sebastian, galloping be-
hind perfect interference, crossed the
Notre Dame goal without a hand
being laid upon him.
Passing desperately as soon as he
got his hands on the next kickoff, Al.
McGuff, a substitute halfback, hurled
his second effort straight into the
armas of Ted Dailey, one of Pitt's two
ends.
Daily took the ball on a dead run
as he came up from Notre Dame's
25-yard line and in a flash was over
the goal. Both attempts for the extra
point were blocked.

is a principle of the Republican
party."

India Would Lapse
To Chaos If Britain
Left, Says Thomas
India would fall into chaos if the
British occupation were withdrawn,
said Lowell Thomas in an interview
last night.
"I have met and talked with
Gandhi," said Mr. Thomas. "He is
a great and cultured man, but his
cause is wrong. As a matter of fact,
the concept of nationality is un-
known to most of the inhabitants of
India. They have never heard the
name, 'India.' Their ties are entirely
religious; if you were to ask one of
them what he was, he would not
call himself an Indian, but rather a
Brahman, or a Parsee."
Asked how the Thomas "Tall Story
Club" came into existence, he replied,
"It really began as an accident. I
Las Oversleeps; Sophomores
Fail to Appear At Fall Games
By BARTON KANE
Nero fiddled while Rome burned!
Yesterday Councilman J o s e p h
Francis Zias overslept, and the class
games were called off.
So another of the Student Coun-
cil's "traditions" fell and the 10 burly
sophomores who had met to defend
the "honor of the class" went home
and spent the rest of the morning
washing off red paint.
The members of the class of 1936,
about 70 strong, looked in vain for
to give directions to the first year
men. A member of the Council tele-
phoned him to come down at once
but an hour later, since he had still
not arrived, the games were defi-
nitely called off.
By that time the first and second
year men had gone home anyway
and the only game that could have
been played would have been the
Council versus Harvey - Bouss, '33E,
grand old man of the class games.
