There was room for only five more people to squeeze into Fraser lest night when the capacity crowd of first-nighters came to swing and away with the "Spring Swingers". The show will be repeated Thursday night to accommodate the persons unable to obtain tickets. To Producer Jim Coleman and Director Rula Nucklehocks the credit of putting one of the most entertaining acts of creativity, song, and slapstick that we have seen for a long time. The whole cast threw themselves into the performance with a vim that had the audience with them.
Special mentions should be made, we think, of the music used in the show. If some of the tunes aren't big-time hits, the music men are missing some swell deals. "Half-way to Heaven" and "Illusion" should make the grade. You'll be dancing the rest of the year to Bud Brink's arrangement of "The Elephant Walk."
A big hand to the Silent Four ... The Serenaders ... You'll like the lawyer number ... It swings ... To all the vocalists ... Fritz, Singleton, Fen, and Davis ... The band won. The chair can creep to us anytime.
Fascinator Pralle and Otto McDougall of the Deltel house get the fur-lined bathtub for the messiest room on, or off, the Hill. The two boys from St. Louis have two desks, five chairs, a table, a candy store, a coke dispenser, along with sunny books, bric-a-brac, etc., jammed into one small room. When the men throw their clothes on the floor, according to college custom, it takes several days for the clothes to sift down to the floor, the room is so crowded.
The pome for today is a little different from the run of the mill ditty

F.D.R. Rules Out Federal Subsidies
He said at his press conference that the government cannot subsidize the $2,000,000,000 railroad industry, as proposed by rail management and labor yesterday, without opening the door for similar casl grants to other alluring industries, such as steel, automobile and textiles.
Washington, April 5. (UP)—President Roevekt today ruled out government subsidies as a tonic for incision in the absence of accession of recession punches.
The national industries, he pointed out, are privately owned and he hoped that they would not be government owned. He said that he had to find ways to raise money on the plight of the railroads to congress, probably within a week.
Oil Company Representatives Interview Senior Engineers
Two representatives of the Carter Oil company interviewed a number of seniors in the department of petroleum engineering yesterday. Mr. S. Brown and Mr. S. C. White-side, the interviewers, discussed company positions now open in Venezuela.
Colorful Politics In Colorless Campaign
All things political on the Hill today are red, yellow and orange. Red for the small, round tag which states in nate black letters "P.S.G.L." yellow for the emblem of similar shape which proclaims unrestful one "Pochechus" orange for the district "nineteens."
By Harry Hill, c'40
After 'tomorrow's men's election,
one of the first two mentioned will
be draped with black shrouds or
green with enjoy; the other will
be draped with silver or augmented brilliance; and the orange will still be orange.
Which is how the colors stack up as Campus political parties swing into the last day of campaigning, with neither machine a crib to win.
The campaign has been a relatively quiet one. Principal efforts of both outfits have been in preparing signed statements for the press, as if the war could be won with words. In the midst of all the rhetorical parrying, the significant fact has been that the two presidential candidates, displaying a remarkable content to spend their time meeting prospective supporters, while their veteran party workers have kept one eye on a typewriter and the other on the opposing faction.
Tenight, however, will see a sud
den shift in tactics. Confiden
bosses, who have sought to outmaneuver their rivals along literary lines, gradually will get that shaky feeling and with this result: The rooming houses on Tennessee, Kentucky and Ohio will take a terrible beating. At some of the larger dorms, it is likely that campers will meet me, entering and
entering, at the front door.
Nothing Seminal.
It is reasonably sife to predict that neither the League nor the Rising Sun will come out with an overwhelming majority in the Men's Student Council, for the introduction of the proportional representation system in all Council positions which tend to even up any wide margins.
There is no reason to look for
No Overwhelming Majority
Osma To Talk on Spain

Install Drain Pipe

anything sensational in tomorrow's election. Interest shown thus far provides no basis for predicting a record vote, but on the contrary would seem to forecast a rather dull day of balloting. Issues in the campaign have been confined to technical interpretations of the election amendment, points which have assumed the appearance of a personal struggle between two retiring; members of M.S.C.
The one important feature of this election is that when its monetary glamour fades two grizzled Campus political veterans will have fought their final duel in a long series of combats. Eddie Rice, long a leader in Pachaeism, and Tony Immel, former president of P.S.G.L., will receive degrees from the School of Law in June and end his personal rivalry as the Hill has seen on over a period of so many years.
Voters Reject Bond Projects
Lawrence voters at the polls yesterday rejected two proposals to issue bonds for public improvements by a narrow margin. They also re-elected the five councilmen who were re-election, and filled one vacancy.
The proposal to issue bonds for better surfacing of Massachusetts street from Twentythird to Twentythird was lost, 614 to 634. The proposal to erect a comfort station near downtown hall park, lost 446 to 761.
In the third ward, Frank Gray was not running for re-election, and Frank Rowland was chosen in his散. Scattering votes were cast in all wards, including one vote in the fourth for Charley McCarty.
Margir Natrow in One Case: Five Councilmen W. Re-Election

Schwegler To Address
Phi Sigma, honorary biology free-
ternity, will meet tomorrow night
at 7:30 in room 206 of R雪球,
brigade 38. Jr., will talk
to "Rodentology."
Sthwegler Speaks at Meeting
Dean R. A. Schweiger of the School of Education spoke on the subject, "What Is Education All About?" at a luncheon meeting of the Lions Club in the Muehlebach hotel in Kansas City yesterday.
It would have taken a hair-splitting applaudme meter to pick a stand-out as far as numbers or performers were concerned . . . this individual particularly liked the "Elephant of the Law" by the activity of the "laws" in front of their den—Green hall . . , but then there was the chorus number, the Fowler-Sanders speciality, the modern chair, that grand band and its talented leader, Red Blackburn; the silent four, Dorothy Frost; Alice the girl . . , so far far through the east, electric artists and composers.
Loyalists Appeal To Britain
Hendaye, France-Spanish Frontier,
April 6 (Wednesday) — (UP)—Loy-
alist Spain, ripped in half by the In-
lurgent war machine, made a fran-
ce last-minute appeal of Britain and
France today for arms and munitions
to answer the enemy's ultimatum
for an unconditional surrender.
The Insurgent generalissimo, Francine France, threatened to blast Barcelona from the map unless there is a reprieve, as he ridden, frontier patched sad.
Catalonia, seat of the Loyalist government, struggled in a strangulation grip as Insurgent armies circlated it by land and left only the Germanian-dotted with insurgent warships—an a chance of escape.
Seek Abandonment of Non - Intervention Pt In Last-Minute Effort To Avoid Defeat
What Monday night at dress rehearsal was a sweating, hard-work bunch of kids going through numbers that looked good but not smooth, last night was a bunch of troopers presenting a ball-bearer display at the gills from the house entertained to the gills from the first number to the finale.
. . Not at all fair to critics . . putting on a show like "Spring Swing". No doubt there were flaws, but when one is clapping his hands and beating it out with a fast-moving score, clever numbers and really good gags, he hardly has time to keep notes on the production.
To London and Paris went urgent Loyalist roles asking for abolition of the international non-intervention committee to permit shipment of arms and munitions to Loyalist armies.
Madrid and its one million men,
women and children were isolated.
To the south of his 165-mile road
Franco seized and ripped up the
coastal coasts coastal highway
and railroad to the slice of the
Levantial Spain.
McFarland Is Queen Candidate
Talk of a surrender, the Loyalists said, was "fantastic."
From this group, the editor of the Drake book, Quark, will pick the one most quenely. Judgment is a great appearance, poise and personality.
Each college participating in the Relays will enter a woman student in the contest. These women are selected by the yearbook editors of the various schools to be in their own team, the most beautiful and charming representative.
Betty Lou McFarland, c'38, has been chosen as the University's candidate for queen of the Drake Raley 14; Des Moines, Iowa, April 29 Editor of the Joyhawk magazine, Robert Pearson, made the selection.
Drake beauties are not competing for the honor, but will form a court for the visiting queen.
imporia Mayor Re-elected
Revue Unfair to Critics
Emporia, April 5.—(UP)—Frank Lostutter was re-elected mayor of Emporia today by a majority of 654 votes.
Sage Undergoes Operation
By Morris Thompson, c.38
"Awake in a Dream" number and the "Swaince River" band speciality. Eddie Singleton, Albie Marriott Mary McLean, and Blackburn also sobbed in top form.
Rex Sage, e'41, underwent a major operation at the Watkins Memorial hospital yesterday morning.
A novelty quartet composed of little Glinda Speakman and bagpipe player Willie Hague, did pleasant things with the number I "Love You So."
The first seven numbers of the re-
vire are presented as individual numbers, while the last eight, including the final, are cleverly built around the action in "Club Jawhawk," with serious Red Blackburn in the familiar lead and master of ceremonies.
The bond and its directors engage in clever tooilofery throughout the last half of the show which brings as

Announcement of the decision to continue the Sigma Delta Chi musical revue for another performance was made last night by James Coleman, c38, producer, when advance ticket sales indicated a demand greater than the theater's capacity for two nights.
On behalf of Sigma Delta Chi, I wish to thank sincerely the personalnel of "Spring Swing" for presenting an excellent show.

President.
unable to meet, Sigma Delta Chi has decided to give an additional showing of "Spring Swing Thursday night."
The production was a complete sell-out last night, with only scattered seats remaining for tonight's show.
While no definite engagements have been made, it is possible that the musical revue may be taken to the stage for special showings, Coleman said.
Several theaters and independent organizations in this section have inquired concerning the possibility of bringing them from it, being taken on the road.
Peace Plans Discussed
Contending that a collective economic policy on the part of nations is a panacea for future wars, Robert McNair Davis, professor in the School of Law, opened the second of the forums being presented by United Peace committee, the M.S.C., and the W.S.G.A.
"A better co-operation in international commerce is the foundation for peace," asserted Professor Davis. "Today the world is suffering from a plague—a plague of 'economic nationalism.'"
"The fact that all countries are dependent on each other is reason for a collective security by international arrangement," Professor Davis said. "Even the British nation is not able to be an isolated nation."
Attacking the position of Mr. Davis, the Rev, Carter H. Harrison, rector of the Trinity Episcopal Church, collective security is not secure.
"Americans cannot understand the present European situation," the Rev. Mr. Harrison said, "because Americans speak practically the same language, while in Europe many 'different languages a re' identical." In fact, he must be hostile just because they can't understand each other."
Describing the border lines between different European countries, the Rev. Mr. Carter pointed to the fact that in America a person may cross the Canadian border without formality, whereas armed guards inspect travelers at European frontiers.
The forum last night was the second of the series that will serve as a build-up for the United Peace strike April 27. Elenar Slaten, c'38, presided. The third forum will be on "War Propaganda."
