Campbell--iWhy I'm Voting For Franklin Delano Roosevelt' In Talk Here 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.# "Roosevelt's policies in comparisoni (Continued on Page 2). , 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. Cohen To Speak Before Student Anti-War Group With the purpose of bringing about a unification of all persons and groups opposed to war, and to arouse opinion against it, the Student Con- gress Against War is being organ- ized on the campus of the Univer- sity of Michigan by Eugene Sharf- man, '33M.

Pitt Conquers ,Irish, 12 To 0 In Last Period 65,000 W a I C h Panthers 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.

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.
