Rome, Jan. 11.—(UP) - Authoritative indications that Italy may accept satisfaction of her "natural aspirations" without claiming any French territory appeared tonight after a one hour and 40 minute apperception talk between Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain of Great Britain and Premier Benito Mussolini.
Chamberlain, striving to push forward with his program of European appeasement made an open plea for a just and peaceful solution of Italy's demands and other European issues by means of negotiations rather than threats of force.
During the banquet Chamberlain placed a final seal upon the reconciliation of Britain and Italy and British recognition of Mussolini's Ethiopian 'conquest' by raising a glass of wine in a toast to King Victor Emanuel as "Emperor of Ethiopia."
Chamberlain revealed in a banquet speech yesterday that Britain and Italy began an exchange of military information here and in London under the terms of the 2-month old Anglo-Inglian pact of 1945, the first disclosure that military claims were contained in the pact.
Responsible fascists, including Virginio Gayda Giormale, who usually serves as Mussolini's mouthpiece, said that Italy's revisionist claims in their final form contained the first thing any European or African power.
"I have come here in pursuit of the policy for which I stand, a policy of friendship with all and enmity with none, and that policy is directed to a just and peaceful solution of international difficulties by the method of negotiations," Chamberlain said.
His statement was made at an extravagant banquet given at Venice palace by Mussolini in honor of his British guest, Chamberlain, and British foreign secretary, Viscount Halifax.

ON THE SHIN
When one of Marguerite Jones' many admirers cut her at the mid-week last night, Marguerite got a shock (electrical) and said something about the static situation. Then she saw that the partner said he didn't get any jolls—because he was dragging his garter.
Carroll Nickels isn't one to look a gift horse in the mouth unless it practically kicks him in his own. Which was the case at Independence the other night when the Glee Club went over to give a concert. Carroll was eating a free steak that had once been a part of Ferdinand's great uncle when a front tooth cracked off.
Maestro Karl Kueisterer, who will direct the Symphony Orchestra this evening, was telling me the other day that way back in 1905 Prof. John Ike was a member of the organization. This all goes to show how closely are the fields of economics and music laid nothing: Prof. Ike would hear Professor Ike playing his Chinese horn on clear night until the Nickelodeon at the Blue Mill got loud enough to drown him out.

- Last Barriers To Plains
Leading to Tarragona Are
Captured by Franco
medieval Catalonian town, whose crumbling walls were the last barriers to the plains leading down to the river of Tarragona, only 18 miles away.
Large numbers of loyalist defenders were reported to have been trapped in the town after its enquiry by Generalissimo Franco.
The unfortified Franciola plains blanketed tonight in fog, lay ahead of the insurgents in their drive upon Tarragona, immediate objective of Franco's 20-day old offensive in eastern Spain.
At Barbara, four miles north-east of Mountlancan, the insurgents were only 48 miles from the loyalist capital of Barcelona.
Less than 25 miles to the southwest across to the ragged peaks of the Sierra Mountains another insurgent camp, which sits outside the coast outside of Falset.
General Juan Yague the Moroccan cavalry reported the capture of Mora la Nueva, seven miles west of Falaset, in an advance designed to aid in isolating a huge portion of loyalist territory south of Tongagura.
Student Advocates Military Halt
Advocating a halt to militization the advancement of internationalism, the endorsement of student peace strikes, and the passage of a war referendum amendment. John Pierce, c/o, 293, address: 140 W.C.A.-Y.M.C.A. Current Action Commission at Henley house yesterday afternoon.
Piercey, who attended the National Youth Anti-War convention in Columbus, Ohio, last month, said that the purpose of the Youth Committee Against War is to foster national peace and national legislation which will end war with all enemies of future war. "Peace can come only through the co-operation and interest of students throughout the nation," he stated.
Mary James, c'41, concluding speaker of the afternoon, said: "As war follows definite steps and is built up by a series of events, so can peace be built up through circumstances which will develop ideas of peace in the minds of people."

Committee Plans To Write History Of University
★ Group Will Meet Monday In Room 203 of Frank Strong Hall To Further Anniversary Preparations
Publication of an adequate history is the most vital consideration Before the 1914 Diamond Jubilee Conference to Prof. U. G. Mitchell, chairman.
Professor Mitchell said, "The work on a History history will be begun first since it naturally requires more time for research."
For this purpose a subcommittee with Professor Mitchell as chairman will meet Monday afternoon in room 203 of Frank Strong hall. The committee also includes Olin Templin, secretary of the endowment association, Robert Ftat, chemistry, Miss Maude Snelser, accession library, Miss Myrtle Dalin, English, and F. E. Melvin, history.
After the general content and the author of the history have been decided work on three more publications will be begun. These are three a new and complete alumni directory, a publication of notable addresses, and an adequate book of photos of students. The book of views will be made available to all students for personal and advertising purposes.
Various minor celebrations in connection with the Diamond Jubilee will be held between now and September, 1941, the actual anniversary of 75 years of the University's operation.
The same sub-committee may be used in investigating possibilities for the other three publications, or a group of persons may be appointed.
Classes were begun at Kansas in 1866, five years after provision had been made for the University by the state legislature.
The University broadcast over a national network last fall as well as the securing of James Bryant Conant of Harvard as this year's Commencement speaker are a part of the 1941 celebration.

Cram To Discuss Geology Future
Symphony Orchestra Will Give Mid-Winter Concert
★ Tonight's Lecture Will Be Last In Series of Four; Designed for Layman
The lecture, presenting a popularized slant on the subject, will be open to the public. Mr Cram's first three talks, designed primarily for geology majors, were of a more technical nature. His appearance here this week marks the third of an annual series of discussions on petroleum geology. Last year Dean McKee, formerly with the Phillips Petroleum company, was the guest expert.
Speaking yesterday on "Geophysical Methods Used in the Exploration for Oil," the geologist described various instruments being used by larger companies in searching or additional fields. The compass was the first geophysical instrument, he said. Then, from the use of dip needles in iron regions, evolved the magnetometer, an instrument for measuring variations in the magnetic field.
Two other instruments with which considerable experimenting has been done, Mr. Cram said, are the gravimeter, which measures horizontal variations of gravity, and the torsion balance. The refraction seismograph, which measures the speed of earth waves produced by artificial explosions and the pendulum also were described by Mr. Cram.
"All these measure physical properties that indicate certain geological structure," Mr. Cram said. "Since geological structure is important in determining the presence of oil, these results are doubly valuable.
"Some companies have geophysical departments which don't like the nosing around of the geology department. But is has become increasing necessary to have co-operation."
The speaker said no single instrument has been found to be infallible in detecting geological structures that indicate an oil trap. Many favorable results have been obtained by using a reflection seismograph to measure depth of limestone beds, he said.
"When figuring to which instrument to give the most credit," he concluded, "suit yourself. My personal experience has been that if an instrument finds a well it gets the credit."
Declaring the reflection seismograph had "come to stay". Mr. Craig pointed out that improvements in its use in the past five years were important interpretations of its recording, rather than changes in the device.
"No method that has been used extensively has been discarded," I said. "Each has found its proper application, although that discover usually comes from costly experimenting."
Elizabeth Meek, c'39, will lead the discussion from Dr. Burick's book, "The Parables of Jesus." This is to be a continuation of a series of such meetings being held by the Commissions.
During 1938, the University of Kentucky constructed 72,879 square feet of sidewalk.

Kuersteiner Leads Concert Tonight
$\star$ University Symphony To Give Thirty-Sixth Annual Mid-Winter Performance In Hoch Auditorium
The program will be one hour and 15 minutes long.
Solists with the orchestra will be Arloine Goodjohn, fa'40, mezzo-soprano, who will sing "My Heart at Thy Sweet Voice" from the opera, "Samson and Dellah!" St. Saens; and Charlene Barber, fa'38, concert master and violinist, who will play the adagio movement from "Romanique Concerto" (Godard).
Presenting its thirty-sixth annual mid-winter concert, the University Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Karl Kueisterweil will feature Bach's second major instrument at 8 o'clock. There is no admittance charge.
The first number of the concert will be the overture from "The Bartered Bride." It was composed by Friedrich Smetana in defiance of his critics who claimed that he had become an imitator of Richard Wagner, and referred to as his "Cicum Overture." Concert Master Is Solost
This will be followed by Mozart's "Eine Kleine Nachmusik." The Symphony String Quartet and the Symphony Woodwind Quartet will play the romane and menueto movements antiphonally from various places in the darkened auditorium.
The third number is the adagio movement from "Romantique Concerto" played by Charlene Barber.
"Espana Rhapsody", an instrumental fantasia based upon popular Spanish dances, precedes the intermission. It was written by Alex Emmanuel Chabrier, a leader in the modern school during the latter part of the nineteenth century; training was that of a lawyer, and he was almost self-taught in music. Until he was almost 40, he was Minister of the Interior in the French government. Play "Unfinished Symphony"
Following the intermission, the orchestra will play Schubert's "Unfinished Symphony." Although it was never played during Schubert's lifetime, its composition was not ended by his death as many suppose. The work is concisely written wheres Schubert usually wrote atop a manuscript. The composition was an experiment, the success of which Schubert was not certain. He ceased to work on it at least six years before his death.
"My Heart at Thy Sweet Voice"
from "Samson and Dellah," sung by Arline Goodjohn, will be the sixth number.
The orchestra will conclude the program with Moussorgsky's "A Night on Bald Mountain." The work was posthumously completed and orchestrated by the composer's friend, Nicolas A. Rinsky-Korsakoff. The music is descriptive of a night on Mr Triapi, a Russian musician, who barred his mountain, where, according to Russian folk-lore, the witches gather to worship Satan, who appears in the form of a Black Goat.
Members of Mu Phi Epsilon, music sorority, will be ushers.
Viesselman Will Compile Cases
Prof. P. W. Vieesselman of the Law School faculty has been asked by the Lawyer's Cooperative Publishing company of Rochester N. Y., to compile cases and materials for the teaching of trial practice.
These materials will be compiled in a book designed for classroom use. It will cover the jurisdiction of courts in civil cases together with all steps and procedure from the inception of suit to the entry of final judgment.
The book is to be completed by farch 1, 1940, and will take its lace in the Lawyer's Cooperative publishing company casebook seri-
