Students received training in
all phases of radio in putting on
the broadcast. The script writing,
producing, acting and engineer-
ing were all done by students in
the radio classes.
Oragnized to provide practical
experience not available in the
classroom, the station put nearly
200 students through their home-
work paces before the critical eyes
of speech instructors. One of

Ford Calls
On Reuther
DETROIT, Dec. 5-(P)-Young
Henry Ford's second top-secret,
but pre-arranged courtesy call on
a top labor leader leaked out to-
day and created quite a stir in the
automotive capital.
The 30-year-old Ford Motor Co.
president dropped in for an hour's
chat Thursday with Walter Reu-
ther, 40-year-old president of the
CIO United Auto Workers. The
union represents more than 100,-
000 of Ford's employes.
What did they talk about?
Inflation, foreign aid, the steel
situation-but not collective bar-
gaining, according to sources on
both sides.
Reuther described the chat as
"very satisfactory" and said Ford
"is a very decent sort of a citizen."
He also told a reporter he could
"see no reason why we shouldn't
have satisfactory labor relations."

States originally adopt com-
munity property laws for'the re-
sultant increase in tax exemp-
tions, according to Prof. William
E. Burby, of the University of
Southern California Law School.
who is principal lecturer in the
Community Tax Intitute being
held this week in Hutchins Hall.
Nevertheless, people should rea-
lize that there are other import-
ant advantages to the law, Prof.
Burby said. "Women particular-
ly should be interested in the
greater protection afforded the
wife under the law," he comment-
ed.
Financial Security
"The law gives her financial
security respecting the income af-
ter marriage," he said, in explain-
ing the law's entirely different
concept under which the com-
munal property acquired after
mar:iage is owned jointly by the
husband and wife.
Despite the increase in tax ex-
emptions, the federal government
has recognized the community
property laws in the 13 states
where they exist.
Antedates Income Tax
In a few of the states where
the law is in effect, it is older
than the federal income tax law.
California had the community
property law before the state was
incorporated into the Union in
1848. Under the Treaty of Guad-
alupe-Hidalgo, in that year, it
was provided that the private
property of the people in the ced-
ed territory would be protected,
so the United States had to ac-
cept the community tax concept,
according to Prof. Burby.
The French and Spanish intro-
duced the communal property
theory into American law, and
when the French and Spanish
left, the law didn't, Prof. Burby
added.
