sor at the u b law school manning johnson district organizer of the com munist party justified the communist platform and reverend hahn expounded the reasons for his adherence to the socialists mr templeton expressed the view that it is essential to the efficient functioning of the government to have two strong parties about equally divided since each party may then serve to check the other the widespread criticism against tho republican party in reference to its attitudo toward the present economic crisis was held by mr templeton to bo entirely unjustifiable since he pointed out that although england has the fin est statesmen in the world she has not only been forced to go off the gold stand ard but also to grant doles in stating the attitude taken by the republicans toward the machinery for peace mr templeton emphatically stated as a republican i believe that the league of nations was one of the ideals of the republican party sena tor henry cabot lodge who opposed the league so consistently in the united states senate never did represent the attitude of the republican party to this measure when a student attempted to refute tho republican statement that the economic disaster is a universal one by pointing out the favorable con ditions which exist in the soviet mr templeton responded when a nation blots out churches and eradicates family relations i think

the olympics second wally maunz story the task of feeding 2,000 athletes from all over the world the same type of food and in the manner to which they were accustomed was accomplished perfectly by the

by tho finest cafe in paris being a bpecial importation himself like many of the other foreign chefs his word remained unquestioned in each dining room the waiters bus boys and other employes either belonged to tho nationality of that group or were chosen because of their ability to speak the language like all others the american dining room was comfortably furnished with wicker chairs and long
