Authentic Photo
f Rivera, Mural
To Be Exhibited
What are claimed to be the only
)hotographs of the Rivera mural in
3xistence, located in the Rockefeller
Center-RCA building, will be exhib-'
ited at the lecture to be given at 3
p. m. tomorrow in Natural Science
Auditorium by Stephen Dimitroff
and Lucienne Bloch, two of Rivera's
aides on the project. This is the
mural which aroused so much dis-
cussion and objection when its com-
pletion was forbidden by the Rocke-
feller interests.
Quoting from the "Workers Age:"
"This unusual photograph of the
central panel of the RCA mural and
the detail photos were taken sur-
reptitiously by one of Rivera's aides,
Miss Lucienne Bloch, after the
Rockefellers had forbidden the com-
pletion of the mural or even its re-
production or photographing." All
these photos will be shown through
the medium of lantern slides.
Titled "The Truth in the Radio
City Controversy," the lecture will
comprise the artistic and social views
of Miss Bloch and Mr. Dimitroff con-
cerning the abandonment of work on
the mural which presented a decided-
ly liberal point of view.

Three Members Of Faculty
Will Discuss Projected
St. Lawrence Waterway
An open forum discussion in con-
junction with a debate by faculty ex-.
perts on the question of the St. Law-'
rence Waterway will feature the'
meeting of The Stump Speakers So-
ciety of Sigma Rho Tau, engineers'
debating society, to be held at 7:30
p. m. Wednesday, Jan. 24, in thej
Union.
The debate will be a Lhree-sided!
affair in which Prof. F. N. Menefee,
of the College of Engineering, will
indorse the waterway while Prof.
Shorey Peterson of the economics
department will present the negative
issue. Prof. John S. Worley, of the
College of Engineering, will present,
a pro and con discussion. All of the
speakers are experts on the St. Law-
rence Waterway proposal, and have'
at various times been asked to speak
in all parts of the country both for
and against the proposal.
Prof. Robert D. Brackett, of the
College of Engineering, in comment-
ing on the program said, "We feel
that this question, which is at pres-
ent being debated in the United
States Senate, is of such great inter-
est that we are inviting the public
to attend. We feel that an open
forum discussion following a debate
on the subject by faculty experts will
be greatly stimulating. The mem-
bers of our organization have been
working on this program- for over
two months and I am sure that it
will be interesting to every one who
attends."
While the meetings of the group
are usually closed, the discussion
Wednesday will be open to the pub-
lic.

Marked inadequacy in housing for

of our higher educational institu-

educators in 35 states and the Dis-

Of 221 representative institutions
included in the survey, 65 per cent,
are in definite need of new construc-I

of existing structures. Only 11 per-

cent reported adequate buildings
throughout, while information fur-
nished by the remaining 24 per cent
was not sufficiently specific for clas-
sification, the report states.
The aggregate needs of schools in-
cluded in the report, it is estimated
by the company, amount to about
$135,000,000. "If this is truly a rep-
resentative cross-section of the coun-
try," the report states, "the total
needs of the nation are close to $900,-
000,000, and call for upwards of 2,200
projects and structures er additions
or improvements to existing struc-
tures."
Student housing, mainly through
dormitories, is the most urgent need,
the data, supplied directly by the
heads of the institutionsconcerned,
shows. One out of every four spe-
cified inadequacy in this respect.
Library structures, needed only
slightly less, were second in impor-
tance. Other needs, listed in the or-
der named, are fine arts buildings,
chapels, laboratories, and adminis-
tration buildings. Structures men-
tioned less frequently were engineer-
ing buildings, medical buildings, in-
firmaries, auditoriums, and faculty
housing.
A number of institutions reported
that work already planned and ap-
proved or even actually under con-
struction had been held up on ac-
count of present conditions. Rea-
sons given for the building shortage
were "difficulty of raising funds,
shutting off of subscriptions, low
cash value of securities, and other
reactions from the general deflation
which has created serious hardships."

Dependability'
In Automobiles
The American people want depen-
dability in their motor cars above
everything else, a survey conducted
by a large motor car corporation dis-
closes. The million and a half per-
sons who were asked what they
wished more than anything else
listed in order operating economy,
safety, appearance, comfort, ease of
control, smoothness, low list price,
pick-up, and speed.
Other features which were asked
for by many of those who wrote to
the corporation outlining their ideal
car in full were mellow-sounding
horns, arm rest for the driver, a re-
duction of the amount of shiny
chromium visible from the driver's
seat, a reduction in the amount of
bouncing of the rear seat.
Indefinable qualities were re-
quested by many of those who an-
swered the questionnaire, one wo-
man writing as follows.:
"The modern car is really a kind
of servant and perhaps there is no
better way to sum up what I expect
from my car than to consider what
one expects from a servant. We ex-
pect a servant to be dependable, ef-
ficient, amiable, ready to go at our
bidding - ready to adapt themselves
to our wishes.
Possible Duel Is
Rumored In France
PARIS, Jan. 19-- (') -- The possi-
bility of a duel between a meniber of
the French cabinet and a leading
deputy hung on a stenographic re-
port today.
Seconds were appointed to go into
the record of a fiery parliamentary
debate over the Bayonne pawnshop
scandal and decide whether Minis-
ter of Education Anatole de Monzie
is entitled to "satisfaction" from
Deputy Philippe Henriot.
Speaking before the chamber of
deputies Thursday, Henriot asserted
Mme. Stavisky, widow of Serge Sta-
visky, founder of the fallen Bayonne
bank, was arrested for robbery in
1926 - and that de Monzie paid her
a call in jail.

little words which the state contends
constituted the only credible admis-
sion Dr. Alice Wynekoop ever made
concerning the demise of her pretty
daughter-in-law, Rheta, were before
the jury trying her for murder to-
day.
"I did it to save the poor dear,"
were the words and they were at-
tributed to Dr. Wynekoop by Dr.
Harry R. hoffman, director of thel
criminal court clinic, while he was
being questioned Thursday by Prose-
cutor Charles S. Dougherty.
Dr. Hoffman was being asked
about a statement Dr. Wynekoop
signed saying Rheta had died acci-
dentally of an overdose of chloro-
form and that she shot her in the
back after life was extinct, when the
prosecutor sprung his surprise.
"Did you," he asked, "have any
further conversation with the de-
fendant soon after she made the
statement?"
"Yes," the witness replied.
"What did she say and what did
you say?"
"I asked her why she had done
this thing, and she replied, 'I did it
to save the poor dear.'"

H. C. Webster of the English de-
partment is the author of an article
which appeared in a recent issue of
Modern Language Notes, entitled
"Borrowings in Tess of the D'Ur-
bervilles."
In the article Mr. Webster showed;
that in the novel of the same name,
Thomas Hardy had copied various
passages verbatim from other works
that he had written.
"ApparentlyHardy felt that these
descriptions were so adequate that a
complete change was unnecessary,"
Mr. Webster said.
The article recently received a very
favorable review in the Saturday Re-
view of Literature.
