Note: This is the first of a series of interviews to be conducted by the International Relations Club on the campus to determine student attitude on issues in international affair 8.) QUESTION: Should the United States intervene in the event of a Japanese attack on Russia? - FEREBEE TAYLOR (President, Phi Beta Kappa): I x think that the fate of democracy depends on the de feat of Hitler, and we should inter vene to stop Japan, so that Russia could carry on her conflict with Ger many unhindered from behind. MARY CALDWELL (President, Woman's Association) : No. Rather than "intervention" I personally would favor complete "withdrawal" from the Orient. ,1 don't advocate the United States' poinr to war unless her lands are attacked. HOB ART McKKJUVER (Student Council) : Definitely. Russia is our salvation, the only hope we have of keeping out of active war. We should do everything we can to force a stale mate in Europe. SYD ALEXANDER (Medical School): The United States should not actively participate, but should just furnish supplies such as we can to Russia on the same basis as we are'doing with England. GLADYS BARNES (Speaker, Phi Assembly) : I would favor interven tion, for otherwise a certain Russian collapse would later force us into the war to help England, so we should stop any such move as soon as it is made. . Week End Vacations On Moon Predicted For 2041 by Atler LOS ANGELES (UP) A trip to the moon may not be as fantastic as it sounds. Out great-grandchildren may make the first one, is the opinion of Dr. Dinsmore Alter, director of the Griffith Astronomical Observatory. Dr. Alter predicted that man's first visit to the moon would take place "some time within the next 100 years if not sooner." : The first flight, he said, depends on the development of a new element lcnown as Uranium 235, now being studied at the University of California at Berkeley. "It's possible to send objects to the moon right now," the scientist said. "It is almost a matter of fuel and cost. It has been estimated the cost of a roc ket to span the 232,000 to 253,000 miles would be about $100,000,000." He revealed that once on the moon, there would be no trouble leaving. The takeoff would be simple because the planet's gravitational pull is only a sixth that of the earth.

' Army Meets Challenge The instructors rushed him to Lieut. Col. William W. McCaw, commandant of the school which trains medical technicians for field hospitals. . . "The young fellow was just as smart as could be and wanted to learn every thing there was to learn in the school," Col. McCaw said. "I was so impressed with his natur al intelligence that we decided to use him as an experiment and see if he would be able to grasp the work by having his lessons read to him." Capt. William B. Wherrett and Sgt. Otto Lehmkuhl took the cowpoke into hand. They read textbooks to him and at examination time read the questions and then wrote down his answers. Heads Class of 236 They burned midnight oil, but Pvt. Aston learned his lessons. His grades soared until he headed the class of 236 enlisted men.

Take a Big Busi ness man, a Republican, a Union Lea gue clubman, and a director of the National Association of Manufactur ers, bring to him a New Deal Wash ington and the chances are there won't be harmony.

He step ped into a responsible New Deal post, satisfied his . critics, gained friends; along the line, and in a few months had ardent New Dealers complaining that the only trouble was that he didn't have a high enough position.
