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.

Webster Is Author Of Recent Literary Study Marked inadequacy in housing for students and academic activities isi characteristic of a large percentage of our higher educational institu- tions, according to a survey just com- pleted by a New York building con- cern. Statements were obtained from educators in 35 states and the Dis- trict of Columbia. Of 221 representative institutions included in the survey, 65 per cent, are in definite need of new construc-I tion or additions to or rehabilitation of existing structures.

An undetermined number of Na- tional Guardsmen slept Thursday. night in Jackson barracks, military headquarters, after Gov. O. K. Allen had placed the records of all state departments in New Orleans except the registration office under the con- trol of Adj. Gen. Ray H. Fleming, commander of the National Guard. Gov. Allen said he was acting to preserve law and order and to avoid the necessity of having to call out the National Guard against "thugs and thieves" in New Orleans. 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." Student Housing Conditions Are Inadequate,_Survey Shows Buyers Desire 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.

Dr.Wynekoop's Health Causes Delay Of Trial Postponemcent To Monday Is Ordered By Judge; Confession Read Criminal Courts Building, Chi- cago, Jan. 19- (') -- The mur- der trial of Dr. Alice Lindsay Wynekoop was postponed today until Monday because of the 62- year-old dcfendanL's physical condition. CHICAGO, Jan. 19 -(/P) -Eigh t 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.'" IB I~' 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. i dance saturday night to the music of harger's orchestra A HAIRCUT should be a MASCULINE HABIT When men get their hair cut, they like to relax in purely masculine sur- roundings.
