to get his specially sponsored bills
through as soon as possible; he has
indicated that the Reid bill may boost
the budget too high and will necessi-
- tate a veto; and it is a legislative
custom to hold up University appro-
priations until near the end of the
- session in order to get votes of mem-
bers specially interested in the Uni-
versity.
Indications are, however, that the
House committee will report it fa-
vorably. Rep. John Espie (Rep.,
Eagle), a member of the ways and
means committee, declared as much
recently, and Rep. Vernon Brown
(Rep., Mason), chairman of the House
General Taxation committee, also ex-
pressed his belief that his colleagues
will approve the Reid bill.
That action of some sort will be
soon forthcoming is indicated by
agitation in the Legislature for an
early adjournment.
The Dunckel-Baldwin bill is still
in the House judiciary committee,
where it has been ever since its pas-
sage by the Senate nearly a month
ago. The committee has met on
several occasions since that time, but
according to reports has discussed the
anti-violent overthrow bill only once.
Regarded rather languidly by a
majority of judiciary committeemen,
the proposal of Senators Dunckel and
Baldwin may even be pigeon holed,
according to representatives, who re-
fused to be quoted. Rep. George C.
Watson (Dem., Capac), chairman of
the committee, has indicated that he
will not oppose the measure, and
Rep. Fred J. Gartner (Dem., Wyan-
dotte), a member, declared during the.
open hearing on the Dunckel-Baldwin
bill three weeks ago that he would
vote to report it favorably.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass., May 15.- (W)
-- Student editors of the Harvard
Lampoon, student humorous monthly,
tonight faced criminal action in con-
sequence of their published satire on
a nationally-known magazine which
yesterday was banned from newsstand
sale and barred from the mails.
Assistant District Attorney William
Andrew after a conference with Police
Chief Timothy Leahy announced the
case would be presented to the Mid-
dlesex County grand jury in June.
Chief Leahy said he believed the
magazine pictured nude and other
allegedly offensive matter and to be
obscene and lascivious.
While authorities investigated to
determine what students were re-
sponsible, editors of the Lampoon sat
in their offices and awaited develop-
ments.
"Well, our 4,500 copies are almost
a complete sellout," Stephen Burnett,
art director and treasurer of the
Lampoon, commented. "We don't
know yet whether we will publish
an expurgated edition or not. In
fact we are awaiting the officials'
next move."
The Lampoon editors said little
about the seizure of between 400 and
500 copies of the magazine in Provi-
dence, R. I., today. Although ad-
mitting that some of the student staff
had mailed the mazagines in the
Rhode Island city, Burnett tonight
did not know whether they would at-
tempt to reclaim the copies seized
by postal authorities.
John F. Bacon of Bridgetown, N.J.,
a first-year law student, paid five
dollars court costs, and prosecution
was discontinued when he was ar-
raigned in East Cambridge district
court on a charge of loitering. Ba-
con was arrested last night during a
student demonstration which accom-
panied a mock purge of the Lam-
poon.

Hoover Say s
House Should
Abolish NR A

I

Ex-President
In Answer
Extension

Asks Move
To Senate's

PALO ALTO, Calif., May 15 -(A)-
Former President Herbert Hoover said
today that complete abolition of the
NRA is "the one right answer" which
the House of Representatives should
make to the Senate's action extending
its life.
"We do not construct new buildings
on false foundations," he said in an
interview, "and we cannot build a
nation's economy on a fundamental
error."
The NRA has been crushing the life
out of small business and "they are
crushing the life out of the very heart
of the local community body," he
declared.
"Present NRA proposals are as bad,
in many ways, as the original with its
continuation until the next Congress
and with the Federal agents putting
pressure on State Legislatures to get
them to enact state laws in support
of NRA, it is evident there has been
no real retreat.
"This whole idea of ruling business
through code authorities with dele-
gated powers of law is un-American
in principle and a proved failure in
practice. The codes are retarding re-
covery. They are a cloak for con-
spiracy against the public interest

ean, but the Speaker intervened, de-
claring "that hardly arises."
One British interest in settling the
dispute is the fear that Italy might
desert the League of Nations should
the Council make a decision against
the dispute.
ITALIANS SEEK CONTROL
ROME, May 15.-(P) - Italian
newspapers openly demanded today
imposition of a new "organization''
on Ethiopia, which was taken by dip-
lomatic circles to mean civil or mili-
tary control by Italy.
The authoritative Giornale d'Italia,
which most often is chosen to echo
government plans, said Ethiopia's "in-
capacity to comprehend and assimi-
late the elementary values of 'civili-
zation' made it necessary that there
be given Ethiopian territory to an
organization which will deprive it of
the possibility of menacing any more
neighboring colonies, above all Ital-
ian interests which have been at-
tacked."
These blasts followed the bold dec-
laration by Benito Mussolini that
other nations must keep their hands
off the Italo-Ethiopian dispute.

resume on Saturday from 9 a.m. until
11:30 p.m., it was announced yester-
day by Francis Wallace, '35E, chair-
man of the publicity committee.
Approximately 120 of the engineer-
ing students will act as guides, some
to conduct visitors from the exhibits
of one department to those of an-
other, and the rest to explain the
displays within each department.
Headquarters at which visitors may
start on their tour of the Open House
,will be located in the Union and in
the lobby of the East Engineering
Building.
Classes for all engineering courses
on Friday and Saturday have been
dismissed, according to Dean Herbert
C. Sadler. This includes engineering
classes in other colleges as well as in
the engineering college, he stated.
Appoint Student Guides
Starting off from one of the two
headquarter locations,, guides will
conduct visitors to any department
they wish, or will follow a regular
schedule that will take them through
all the departments included in the

chanical, civil, chemical, naval, trans-
portation, electrical, hydraulic, metal-
lurgical, metal processing, shop and
surveying departments.
As special attractions for the Open
House both the Franklin glider, used
for actual flight practice by students
in the aeronautical engineering de-
partment, and the "blue bird" test car,
an old Chevrolet remodelled along
box-car lines for wind-tunnel experi-
ments, will be on exhibition. The
glider will be located on the South
University side of the West Engineer-
ing Building, and the "blue bird'
will be located at the State Street-
North University end of the diagonal

of charge to all visitors.
The expenses of the Open House are
expected to be met out of the sal
of copper ash trays made by the meta
processing department as souvenir
3 for the occasion. Literary students
s or students in other colleges having
s vacant hours are urged to spend th
- time investigating some phase of th
Open House exhibits.

cago Symphony Orchestra back in its
midst last night, and in addition gave
ovations to both Miss Helen Jepson
and Howard Hanson, co-starred on
the program. Mr. Hanson directed
the premiere of his "Songs from
'Drum Taps,' " and Miss Jepson was
featured as soloist in the other parts
of the program.
The young Metropolitan lyric so-
prano proved so popular with the
audience, which almost completely
filled Hill Auditorium, that following
one encore with the orchestra, she
had a piano brought onto the stage
and sang three further numbers with
Mabel Ross Rhead as accompanist.
Visibly moved by the stirring qual-
ity of Mr. Hanson's composition, the
audience applauded for many min-
utes while the composer-conductor
appeared. again and again on the
stage to acknowledge his ovation.
To Perform 'King David'
The concert tonight will open with
the performance of "King David," the
symphonic psalm in three parts, after
the drama by Rene Morax, with or-
chestra, soloists, chorus, organ, and
piano contributing.

nish the high spot of the second part
of the program, will follow the or-
chestra's rendition of the symphonic
poem, "The Moldau" by Smetana with
two numbers, "Caro Nome" (Rigolet-
to) by Verdi, and "Io son Titania"
("Mignon") by Thomas.
This will be followed by an orches-
tral number, Waltz, from Suite,
"Ruses d'Amour," Op. 61 by Glazou-
now. Miss Moore will then conclude
the program with the aria, Bell Song
("Lakme") by Delibes.
Earl V. Moore, director of the
School of Music will conduct during
the performance of "King David," and
Dr. Stock will conduct the orchestra
during the remainder of its numbers.
Miss Rhead will act as piano accom-
panist.
