Helen, a poor defenseless mother of three children, wept over her eldest child, Daisy Hoffman Szczytowski, while her attorney prepared a noble defense that won her accuittal and complete vindication.
The climax of the trial was the final blast of oratory from the slimy and silver tongue of now tongueless Harrison Smith.

Washington, April 20—(UP)—President Roosevelt, in a decision of policy which revived prospects of an early New Deal truce with the multi-million dollar power industry, unexpectedly, unpleasantly. The U.S.$5,000,000 recovery-relief program as it started on Congress today.
Roosevelt Moves Toward Power Truce

Betty and Bill "Chaparron" Grant
were less impetuous and waited for
a plane. They were 'able to leave
for Kansas City at 9 o'clock and
beat Fred home.
The two lucky ones were full of stories. From their descriptions, their screen efforts at the Paramount studios must have been a riot. Fried says that he was really a "gooder" in his romantic part, but felt rather embarrassed when he had to tell the gal be "loved he will all his heart."
Betty, who is an up-and-coming Campus actress, didn't have time to see any plays. She regrets the fact, but reminds us that one can't do everything in five days. Anyway, it would have been something of a busman's holiday for an actress to go to plays on her "day off."
then there was the Easter parade. They thought that this event was some deal. They strapped down Fifth Avenue with the best of them. Fred's new shoes started to hurt and they had to cut the thing short.
Bill Grant stepped around quite a bit, too. it seems. He spent his time rushing here and there putting last minute touches on everything: Both of the fascinatin' ones say he handled everything properly and handled everything well. The four was mainly to the flours of Bill and his sister Esther.
They went lots of places and were on several major radio programs. They broadcast when they left Kansas City; from the top of the empire State building; on Horace Heidt's program and several other times. Most of Fred's friends were amazed when he asked Mr. Heidt to play "Sugar Blues" on his request. Fred explains that he had no other choice. They told him to request it before he went to the microphone.
Now that they are back, they will put on their old school clothes and more or less rease to be celebrities in the final grand of bookwork for finals.
Convocation Program Completed
Peace Demonstrations Will Hear Rolla Nuckles and Three Students To-
Program details for tomorrow's all-University convoction in the interests of world peace were completed on Wednesday of the United Student Affairs Committee.
The committee voted Tuesday to sponsor an administration-approved demonstration in Hoch auditorium at 10 o'clock.
Three student speakers, one faculty member and the University Band have been approved by Ray-mond Nichols' sub-committee of the convocations committee for the program.
Heading the list of speakers will be Rolla Nuckles, instructor in speech and dramatic art, who will discuss "A Bucklet of Ashes." Nuckles accepted the invitation of the peace committee yesterday and his subject was announced following the U.S.P.C. meeting.
Moritz Will Speak
Student speakers will be Paul Moirc, r'29, who will speak on "The Road to War"; Richard MacCann, c'40, whose topic will be "The Road Back"; and Zeke Cole, c'40, who will discuss "The Other Road." Present plans are for the University Band, under Prof. Russell Wiley, to play briefly at the opening and closing of the convocation.
The demonstration will emphasize the need for united student action for world peace and the effectiveness of nation-wide refusal of young men to participate in foreign wars. Protests will be aimed chiefly against the Roosevelt naval building program, which led to labor in time of war, and the keeping of American battleships in foreign waters.
Fourth Peace Demonstration
Tomorrow's envocation will be the fourth University peace demonstration. The first was in 1853 when the peace committee dotted the Campus with white crosses. Several hundred students gathered in Fowler grove to hear speakers at the same hour that 175,000 students in the nation's colleges were holding anti-war demonstrations.
In 1936 widespread attention was drawn to the University peace meeting when a student set off a tear gas bomb. Speakers carried on with tears streaming down their cheeks, and the incident immediately attracted many students to the scene. A police officer charged a student with the offense, but he was acquitted by the student court.
Last year the mobilization was in the form of a convocation.
