Ellis Arpall of Georgia last night termed "more adequate education" the most imperative need for America in a Community Forum lecture. He also urged better health advantages for the entire nation and government participation to improve opportunities for people to make a living, in a talk which wound up the five-lecture Forum series for this year. Trust War The former Georgia governor said the nation must wage a "re lentless war" on trusts, monopo lies, and combines to provide for economic opportunity in the fu ture. He also listed high on his program increased agricultural research. Asked what he thought of his state's experiment in extending the franchise to 18-year-olds, he termed the experiment "splen did" and said that if all the voters in Georgia had shown the good judgment of the youth voters, the state never would have elected Eugene Talmadge. "Lasting peace cannot be pre dicated on fear or on military strength„ he said, calling for the nation "to get our own house in order." He said that Communism was "being contained" and that the United States should export its democratic ideal. Slavery He stated that no one anywhere can be free unless all persons are free, and that slavery anywhere infringes the freedom of Ameri cans. Discussing further franchise ex tension through abolishing the poll tax and making Negroes eligible to vote in the Democratic primaries, he stated "There's nothing wrong with government that a good dose of democracy won's cure." Crusade Arno.ll urged that all citizens take part in a "crusade for peace" by working to improve conditions locally instead of merely criticiz ing others. He said the nation should make democracy work here and that other nations then would emulate the United States. Arnall said the nation cannot progress with economic barriers keeping certain sections of the country in "economic slavery". An American population of 275,000,000 could be supported at a higher standing of living than the present, he predicted. Audrieth, Illinois Professor, Delivers 23rd Priestly Lecture Dr. L. F. Audrieth, professor of inorganic chemistry at the Uni versity of Illinois, will deliver the twenty-third annual Priestly Lec tures on "Acids, Bases, and Non- Aqueous Systems" in 119 Osmond Laboratory April 25 through 29. The Priestley Lectures, which have becoue an annual tradition at the College, were inaugurated in 1926 by the initiative of Dr. Wheeler Pedlar Davey, research professor of physics and chemis try, who has given continued in terest and support to their suc cess. Joint Auspices The lectures are given under the auspices of Phi Lambda Up silon, chemical honor society, and the department of chemistry of the School of Chemistry and Physics, in cooperation with re lated departments of the Schools of Agriculture and Mineral In dustries. In 1931, Mu Chapter of Phi Lambda Upsilon undertook the financial support of the lec tures. The faculty and alumni of the chemistry department have estab lished two memorials to Joseph Priestley. In 1919, the alumni pur chased the old Priestley residence at Northumberland, Pa., and have since built a museum near the hewn to hold eery. Priestley re- STATE COLLEGE, PA., FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 22, 1949 Anderson Talks In LA Series Dr. John M. Anderson, associate professor and acting head of the philosophy department, will be the second lecturer in the Lib eral Arts series. Dr. Anderson will discuss "The Human Spirit and the Challenge of Science" in 10 Sparks at 8 p.m. Wednesday. The speaker r e c e i v e d his bachelor of arts and master of arts degrees at the University of Illinois. His doctor of philosophy degree he received at the Uni versity of California at Berkeley. After serving at the University of California, and the University of Minnesota, Dr. Anderson joined the faculty at the College. Tunnel Crews Lay Steelwork Steelwork for the building that will house the Water Tun nel at the College is now under way and should be completed within a month, Dr. R. Burton, professor of Ordnance Research and project engineer for the tun nel, said yesterday Brick work will begin before the end of this month. The mammoth tunnel, believed to be the world's largest, has been set in place and tank welded. Permanent welding will be done after the building is completed. Instead of the test section in the tunnel, a dummy section has been used in completing the tun nel. Plexi-glass windows in the test section will not withstand the pressure of the water that will be used to test the tunnel, Dr. Power explained. Tests will be conducted, pro bably near the 'end of the year, with water at a pressure of 112 pounds per square inch. The tunnel will be used by the Ordnance Research Laboratory for testing underwater devices. lies to be collected. The property has been deeded to the College. Since 1927 Through the work of Dr. Davey and other faculty members, the Priestley Lectures have been held annually since 1927. Each year the lectures deal with the border line between some phase of chemistry and some other branch of science. Dr. Audrieth, the speaker for the 1949 series, was born in Vien na, Austria, and came to this country with his parents at the age of two. He received the de gree of Bachelor of Science from Colgate University. He complet ed work in inorganic chemistry for a Doctorate at Cornell Uni versity in 1925, and spent the next two years at Cornell in nitro gen chemistry research. He has been a member of the faculty of the department of chemistry at the University of Illinois since 1928. His work there has been interrupted on two oc cassions. In 1931-32, he was awarded a National Research Fel lowship to continue his studies in non-aqueous solvents under Prof. Paul Walden at the Uni versity of Rostok. ACTIVE DUTY He was called to active duty Continued wi page three Psych Class Trains Inexperienced Gamblers A visitor to Professor Guest's applied psych class recently, would have been sure he was in the back room of a gambling cas ino, Before the group, three mem bers of the clas s were absorbed in some kind of game on the table. /rwo little cubes clicked myster iously in the hand of one. On the blackboard, at which the participants glanced occasionally, appeared these figures: 6 and 8 - even money 5 and 9 - 3 to 2 4 and 10 - 2 to 1 The two cubes rolled onto the table and the trio peered eagerly at the results. Pieces of chalk now changed hands and the game continued. A flash-back to the start of the class would serve to enlighten our visitor. The subject under discussion for the day was "right and wrong ways to train the new worker." The prof called for an experienced craps shooter, and Frank Burstein arose. Three students who pleaded ignorance of the game were chosen to repre sent would-be operators of a dice table. Burstein was to instruct the "new employees" in the technique of rolling dice, and the class was asked to judge the value of the instruction. Chalk served as dol lar bills. After the "wrong betters" placed two "bucks" against the one bet by the shooter, the class decided that the group needed a little more instruction before tak ing over a dice table. You're faded. WSSF Fund Boosted $63 By Donations Over $63 was added to the World Student Service Fund yes terday, making the total to date $780.48. The money will be used for books and supplies for the Philippines where university libraries and equipment were de stroyed by bombing during the war. Faculty members of the School of Agriculture contributed $25, and Philotes, independent wo men's club, netted $7 for the drive with a box social. The Alpha Xi Delta sorority contributed $5, the Kappa Delta sorority, $3. $3 was also raised by the Theta Xi fraternity. An additional $2.85 was re ceived from Dorm 8 in Pollock Circle making Dorm B's total $11.29; Dorm 24 added $8.40, and Simmons Hall added $3.50 to its original contribution of $8.64. Solicitators are asked to turn in their money to 304 Old Main as soon as possible. Any one who would like to contribute and has not been contacted by a solicitator may also turn in contributions there. New Parking Area Nears Completion Another new parking area on the campus with space for 83 au tomobiles is expected to be com pleted in about two weeks, Wal ter M. Trainer, supervisor of landscape construction and main tenance, said yesterday. The,area is located north of Patterson Hall. Although wet weather had de layed construction, the sub-grade has already been completed, the base course is nearing comple tion, and work on the top course will be started early next week. Players All Players must return their questionairres to the Dramatics office by Tuesday. This is the ab solute deadline. Edwards Leaves Grid Post, Joins Michigan State Squad Earle Edwards, end coach at the College since 1936, confirmed today that he had accepted a position as football end coach at Michi gan State College, East Lansing, Mich.

It was also explained that postal cards have been mailed to seniors who owe money for their yearbook and that these pay ments may be made at the time the La Vie is obtained. Fee Collections Students pay $1.25 each semes ter, or a total of $lO for their book. Since fees for the La Vie are not collected during the sum mer sessions and were not col lected during the period, May, 1943 to October, 1945, many stu dents have not paid the $lO. Stu dents transferring to the College from other colleges or centers also would owe money on their yearbook. 3 British Warships Crippled On Yangtze River By Reds SHANGHAI Three battered British warships lie in the harbor here tonight, crippled after at tempting to run the Communist land battery blockade to the res cue of a fourth British ship. The fourth, the sloop Amethyst, lies off an island in the Yangtze river with a white flag flying from her mast. More than 42 have been killed aboard the British war ships and an additional 100 have been wounded. Nanking Falling NANKING With the 0,n,- munist armies pouring across the Yangtze River, authorities state that Nanking is apparently doom ed as the Nationlist capital.

Succeeds Taylor At Michigan State, he succeeds Leverne (Kip) Taylor, who re signed a month ago to accept the head coaching job at Oregon State College. Edwards, like Taylor, will be in charge of the ends. Clarenc e (Biggie) Munn, a graduate of Minnesota and form erly head coach at Albright Col lege and Syracuse University, put in a tour of duty as line coach at the University of Michigan be fo,re going to Syracuse in 1946. He transferred to Michigan State the next year. Includes Evasheski Munn heads up a staff which also includes Forest Evasheski, former Michigan star and back field coach, and Hugh Daugherty, a Barnesboro boy and former Syracuse guard, as line coach. Evasheski and Daugherty both joined Munn at Syracuse and have been with him since. Penn State's head coach, Joe Bedenk said today that he had not vet given much consideration to the choice of a successor but he indicated he would begin his search immediately. E'dwards, who was brought to the campus by Bob Higgins in 1936, was in command of Spring drills at the College and had been Bedenk's personal choice to serve him as first assistant.
