Award to Be Offered For Outstanding GPA Social Walls Topic Of Jew-Gentile Talk ouciai Darriers, not religious, was tne duel topic ol discus sion among leaders of the National Conference of Christians and Jews at Alumni hall Friday afternoon. Members of the panel who visited the campus were: Dr. Max Radin, professor of law at the University of California, author of “Manners and Morals of Business,” and member oi international law commission; Dr. Everett R. Clinchy, president of the national conference; Father Joseph Vaughn of Loyola univer sity; Dr. U. S.

The larg est of these in the United States is the American Woolen company, which is owned and operated en tirely by non-Jews,” pointed out Father Vaughn.
