Churchill Makes Reply To Stalin Accusation London, Oct. 29 (UP) Winston Churchill has made a conciliatory re ply to Primier Stalin's charge that he was "one of the incendiaries of a new war." The British war time leader paid tribute to the bravery of the Rus sian people. But Churchill expressed skepticism about the strength of Rus sian troops in western Europe. Re cently Churchill asked the House of Commons if it were true that Stalin had 200 divisions on a war footing in western Europe. Last night Stalin told United Press President Hugh Baillie that the Soviet had. only 60 divisions in the area. But today Churchill inferred that it was not a question of the number of division but rather of the number of men in each division. Candlelight Room May Open Next Wednesday, Says Jones Newly appointed Candlelight Room manager Johnny Jones yesterday afternoon issued an emergency call for all musicians, or "otherwise talented persons," to contact him in the Room on the ground floor of Graham Memorial immediately, in preparation for the grand opening, which, he ex- ' pressed hope, would be one week from this evening. Although originally it was planned that campus bands would provide mu sic for the club, Jones explained that American Federation of Musicians union rulings will prevent most cam pus bands from working with them, due to inflexible minimum pay regu lations.

Total renova tions will represent over $200 in ex penditures. In charge of interior dec orating on the project is Clyde Stal lings. Within three days the opening date will be definitely announced. As the club will accomodate comfortably only a maximum of 60 couples, Jones stat ed that advance reservations would be necessary for admittance, if atten dance is as heavy as anticipated. If it appears the next Wednesday open ing deadline is to be met, reservations may be made beginning Saturday morning. Two Shows Weekly "We hope to have at least two floor shows each week, and possibly more," explained Jones, "however student co operation in furnishing their talents will determine how often we have them." In the afternoon the Room will be open for dancing by the juke box, and light refreshments, from 2 to 5 o'clock daily. Evening hours, for couples only, will run from 8 until 11.

Japanese-American Soldier Doesn 't Want to Go Home ( UP Feature Services) Sergeant Frank F. O'Connor of Pas adena, California, is one soldier who never wants to go home again. Frank went home on furlough not loner aero. It was a toueh trip for a soldier with only one leg and a wounded leg atthat. Frank swears he'll never do it again. Because during his brief stay in California, Frank was thrown out of 23 barber shops and 24 movies. Some times they just asked him to leave. Sometimes they picked up his crutches and threw them out after him. It wasn't because Frank was dis orderly or caused trouble. It was a much simpler reason than that. Frank's full name is Frank Fujino O'Connor. His mother and father were Japanese-American. Both his parents are dead by now, and Frank has been adopted by the O'Connors of Pasadena. But unfortunately, Frank says, many of the people in California don't feel the same way the O'Connors do. Many people don't want Japanese-Americans around. Frank says it wasn't so bad before the war. Back then, he went to Stan ford, and was working for a law de gree. He used to play tennis with the white students, and go to parties at professors' homes. But along in 1938, Frank began to worry about the way things were go ing in the world. He joined the United States Army, and was shipped to the Phillipines. At the time of Pearl Har bor, Frank was serving on Luzon, un der General ohnathan Wainwright.
