HE'S GOTTA DO RIGHT
BY OUR LITTLE NELL
"Our Hermann" (Hitler's Field
Marshall Goering) dashes heroic
ally Into Vienna, swearing; ven
geance upon the villian Schusch-
nlgg, who ain't done right by our
little Neil, the German Austriana.
He put over a foxy one, says Her
mann. It was a "swindle," a fake
plebiscite, and we'll get him in the
courts. And furthermore, "God
didn't let the Fuehrer come Into
the world for nothing. He had a
nigh mission."
So now all Little Nell has to do
Is to sign over 100 percent ap
proval of getting herself annexed
to our Hermann's side and he will
deliver her, the cruelly oppressed
populace of Austria, out of the fix
she's got in by listening to Schus
schnigg, who put over a "swindle,"
a fake plebiscite, and beat down
democracy at the point of the
bayonet.
Norris holds out hope for a TVA
Investigation before congress ad
journs. Others, both critics and
supporters of TVA are not so
hopeful. A house vote is predicted
for Tuesday or Wednesday on the
proposed joint senate-house inves
tigation. Norris predicts that the
measure will go thru the house
and the president's hands without
dissent.
Roosevelt did the right thing in
ousting Morgan, says Norris, but
he would still like to have Morgan
bring suit In the courts so that a
test case might be made of the
president's power to remove such
officials at will.
Stronger laws are now to be
aimed at "unreasonable" surpluses
of corporations. The senate fi
nance committee considers propo
sals to penalize those corporations
which save their stockholders high
surtax rates by withholding divi
dend distributions and so accumu
lating surpluses.
Norris" proposal for amendment
of the constitution by direct vote
of the people passes a judiciary
subcommittee. But it has a long
road to go before it may ever be
put thru approval of two-thirds
of the house and senate and rati
fication by conventions in three
fourths of the states.

PLAY ATCHOIR VESPERS
Pianists to Present Concerto
Of Tschaikowsky Today
At Cornhuskcr.
Two of Lincoln's best known
pianists, Earnest Harrison and
Beth Miller, will express the feel
ing of a cruelly oppressed Russian
people thru the B flat minor con
certo of Tschaikowsky this after
noon in the last of the season's

To preserve the spirit of the
concerto, which will take the place
of the speaker in the vespers, it Is
asked that no one applaud, in or
der to keep the highly dramatic
and emotional aspects of the
music.
The choir will begin the service,

Tschaikowskv'a "O Praise Ye
God," and will close with Sir Ar

Sino Youth Move Educational
Centers Inland to Avoid
Total Destruction.
While American university stu
dents peacefully attend their
classes, 30,000 Chinese students
find their college work tragically
dislocated bv the great Sino-
Japanese conflict. Farslghted Chi
nese statesmen are seeking to con
serve their intellectual young peo
ple for future leadership.
Over 80 percent of the Chinese
university students are studying
near the coast where the greatest
amount of fighting has taken
place. More than 20 of the Chi
nese colleges and universities have
been totally or partially destroyed.
The north has given up the strug
gle to carry on school work under
the trying conditions. In other
places, however, students and
teachers continue to hold classes,
using dugouts to avoid destruction
from air attacks.
Wishing to save the students,
the Chinese government is moving
the universities into the interior.
Further funds are necessary to
transport the destitute students
needing food, clothing and shelter,
and to provide scholarships for
them once they rejoin their
schools.
Nebraska students will have an
opportunity to help in this project
next Wednesday when Tag day
will be held on the campus under
the direction of the religious wel
fare council. Interested students
will cover the campus offering
tags for a minimum contribution
of 10 cents and a maximum of the
sky.
The funds raised on the Lincoln
campus will go to help the Nation
al Far Eastern Student Emergency
Fund committee make its goal of
$25,000. England is building a
fund of $20,000 and other coun
tries are helping.
The funds will be administered
in China and Japan, for a small
portion commensurate with the
needs is allotted to Japan, by the
Y. M. C. A., the Y. W. C. A. and
outstanding university leaders of
China.

nual Ag campus' spring party,
Muss Nila Spader, attractive senior
from Lincoln, was presented as
the 1938 Goddess of Agriculture in
the Student Activities building
Friday night.
While the orchestra played
"Easter Bonnet," the Goddess,
whose identity had hitherto been
kept secret, stepped thru the cel
lophane streamers of a large hat
box. As she did so one of the
attendants turned the tag on the
box revealing her name.

activities are: Ag executive board,
