SPEAKS AGAIN TOMORROW Dr. Karl Polanyi, speaking last night in Gerrard hall under the sponsorship of the "Foreign Policy League, gave his audience -what he termed a "birds-eye -view of world politics." . He laid down the background upon which American neutrali ty depends and at 10 :30 a. m. -tomorrow he will try ' to answer the important question, "can the United States remain neutral in -the face of a "European con flict?" The Vienna journalist and lec turer named two political storm centers in the world : central Europe and the' Far East. "These two storm areas center around two expanding coun tries : Germany and Japan." said Dr. Polanyi. 'Post-War Europe Dr. Polanyi devoted most of his lecture to explaining the political problems of post-war Europe. "At the heart of cen tral Europe you have the Danu- bian system and in the post-war period two important problems "were present: the Austrian and the Hungarian problems," said the Viennese. "In central .Eu rope you had the German-Polish problem." The two political factions of ISurooe which were motivated by these problems were the re visionists and the anti-revision ists, the political scientist ex plained. "Italy :Went over to France nd the anti-revisionists for fear of a strong united German na tion of the combined Germany and Austria on her borders," Dr. Polanyi said. Russia adopted an anti-revisionist policy because of the German expansion danger and the hostility of Hitlerto ward the radicals, the Vienna lecturer explained. Dr. Polanyi then explained England's part in European af fairs. "In the first post-war period," he said, "England was revisionist in spirit." Then he said that she changed over to the side of France.

Bloodless Elections directing, questioning, predict ing with his usual pessimism. New Crew Crows A crew of new faces took their places in the political sun which for three years before had been dominated by Tom "Mama" Rose, chubby Bob Novins, and Joe Gant, Burlington's gift to the University. - The most conspicuous absence was that of Slim Medford who had established an all-time rec ord for being the first to cast a ballot in campus elections for many years. "According to Stu dent Councilman Lee Greer, University Senior Paul Plato Davis copped first place this year.-- r -' 7 In, the middle . of -the rafter- noon, "Pipe, the Hat" '.Thompson, last year a: candidate for the top berth on the f Daily .

GOVERNMENT UPS PRICE0F SHYER resident Intends to Employ 7,000,000 by November; To Create No New Boards. Washington, April 10. (UP) The federal government to night boosted the price of newly mined silver to 71 cents per ounce from 64 cents per ounce n a new step to boost commodi ty prices by monetary means. The move "carried wide possi bilities, from , a monetary and economic standpoint, and it was believed indicative of a contin ued confidence by the govern ment that - commodity prices could be raised and economic activity increased through mone tary means. President Roosevelt said in a press conference today that he might be able to turn back some of the $4,880,000,000 works re- ief money to the treasury. He said that he believed he would be able to get 7,000,000 men at work by November, but he will insist that all adminis trative work be done by existing government agencies rather than through the creation of new boards and commissions. The New Deal measure to pro vide security for the common man against the hardships of old' age and the hazards of mod ern life starts on its way through the House tomorrow under an open rule allowing generous de bates and amendments.

Close Co-ed Polling Leaves Two Run-off s Heavy Voting Surprises Observ ers by Surpassing Last Year's Mark by Nineteen Votes. 40 VOTES PLACE FISHER A completely victorious Uni versity Party yesterday - dupli cated its flawless election record last year by carrying every one of its eight contested candidates into office. A final count by the Student Council last night re vealed that 1,513 students voted, 19 more than last year. Jack Pool scored an amazing victory to become president of the student body, polling 877 votes against 375 for Stuart Aitken and 264 for Francis Fairley. Poe-Thompson Charles Poe became the new editor of the Carolina Magazine with a total of 1,024 votes over Carl Thompson, who polled 489 counters. The most severely strained link, in the party chain was Joe Fisher's 40-vote victory over Jim Hutchins for junior class president, the final count read ing 188-148. Jack Clare ran away from Bill Weaver in the :race for senior class treasurer by a count I of .241-72. .. Fred Weaver -de cisively defeated Wally Dunham for junior class 5 treasurer, gar nering 218 votes against his op ponent's 123. : Councilmen, Soph Treas. John Parker became " the junior class -representative to the Student' Council, polling 219 votes against 116 forBill Coch rane. John Ramsay defeated Stuart Leake for the office of sophomore class treasurer 1 by a count of 234 -to 174. The new sophomore class representative to the Student Council is Cecil Ford, who won over Warren Haddaway by a tally of 268 to 140. The 1,513 votes polled yester day lacked several hundred of equalling the all-time record of 1,996 ballots cast in the 1933 spring elections. Nevertheless, this exceeding of last year's mark came as a surprise to many political observers who expect ed a light vote yesterday. They had based their conclusions on the apparent lack of interest in politics this year and the failure of parties to engage in any spec tacular demonstrations such as the torch light parade last year. CHI OMEGA TAKES ALL POSITIONS YET DECIDED , In a ' close election that re mained undecided until the last ballot was tabulated, the Chi Omega faction succeeded last night in garnering enough votes to elect all of their candidates. With one of the largest rna- jorities polled, Jane Ross defeat ed Triscilla White for president of the : Woman's Association, 118-901 A vote of 111-89 made' Mar- garet 'Jordan Vice-president ; of the Woman's Association.
