'Oxford Pledge'
Is Endorsed B
Std URent Union
Policy Adopted Despite
Heated Opposition In
Own Ranks
(By Associated Collegiate Press)
COLUMBUS, 0. Jan. 18. - Despite
heated opposition from within its
own ranks, and in the face of "Com-
munistic" and "revolutionary" charge
from the American Legion, the Amer-
in Stuen Union endorssed the Ox
United States in any war it mighc
conduct, at its convention here.
The union, recently formed by a
mer~ger of the National Student
League and the Student League for
Industrial Democracy, adopted the
endorsement resolution by a 244 to
49 vote. Meanwhile meeting at Kan-
sas City, the National Student Fed-
eration voted, by 49 to 13, not to bear
arms outside the United States.
Ed Kinney, member of the Officers
Club of the R.O.T.C., C.C.N.Y., and a
member of the resolutions committee
of the student union, asserted that
"passage of this resolution definitely
labels the student union as a 'radical'
organization.
Kinney ind others fought the res-
olution on the grounds that the "Ox-
ford Pledge" should be optional with
the individual members, and that its
endorsement would keep prospective
members from enrolling.
American Legion heads, asking that
the union delegates be requested to
leave their convention headquarters
in the Y.M.C.A. building here, charged
that they were "known Communists"
and part of "a revolutionary move-
ment against the government." In-
ability to get a quorum -of the Y.W.-
C.A. directors prevented action.

Predicts Auto Windshields
Will Be Unbreakable By
Use Of Plastics
By WILLIAM SHACKLETON
That the houses, furniture, auto-
mobiles, typewriters - and just about
everything else of a material nature
--of the future may be made not of
metal or wood or glass but of artifi-
cial plastics such as bakelite, pyrox-
alin, and rubber and synthetic rubber
products was the fascinating possi-
bility held out by Prof. F. ,E. Bartell
of the chemistry department yester-
day.
"Hardly a week passes"- Professor
Bartell pointed out, "without some
new adaptation of plastics being
made. Refrigerators, doors, automo-
bile gears are some examples of plas-
:ics' intrusion in the former domain
)f other substances. Probably auto-
nobile windshields will soon be prac-
tically unbreakable as plastics replace
glass there."
Plastics are very nearly an ideal
construction,A Professor B art em
expensive in the pure state as present,
their usable volume can be greatly
ncreased during manufacture by the
a.ddition of wood filler. Also there
.s available an almost unlimited sup-
pAy of the raw materials from which
the plastics are synthesized.
From their natural composition
and the large proportion of wood
filler used, commercial plastics are
as light or lighter than most woods,
utare much stronger. Bescause teir
by air, moisture, and practically all
)ther corrosive substances, they can
be left unprotected out-of-doors for
Te fiact etha dsplastics are almost
unbreakable under most conditions

over their rivals. When research has

plastics, glass may well look to its
markets. Plastics are readily made
fireproof too, Professor Bartell stat-
ed.
Still other important properties of
the plastics include their non-con-
ductivity of electricity, hardness, and
naturally lustrous appearance which
makes them decorative as well as use-
ful.
Present applications of the various
plastic substances mentioned by Pro-
fessor Bartell ranged from drinking
cups to steamship interiors and frame
work and from arm-chairs to golf
clubs. However, that is only a drop in
the bucket to the application which
he foresees in the future, applica-
tions which hq believes may introduce
the "Plastic Age."

Christian Will Give
Two Organ Recitals
Palmer Christian, University organ-
ist, will appear in two recitals before
the close of the current semester at
4:15 p.m. today and Wednesday, Jan.
29.
For today's concert, Mr. Christian
has chosen a program by famous
French organists from the time of
Couperin down to the present, choos-
ing, as far as is consistent with a
balanced program, examples from
their compositions that have reached
popularity.
This program will open with the
B minor Prelude and Fugue by Bach,
as a tribute to the great devotion
French organists have had for this
master composer.
The program Jan. 29 will contain
three works by American composers
that have been dedicated to Mr.
Christian: a Sonata for organ by
Philip James, the Suite entitled "A
Chinese Garden" by Eric DeLamar-
ter and Leo Sowerby's Choral Pre-
lude on the familiar hymn-tune "Re-
joice, Ye Pure in Heart."
