closed in muny cities and towns.
In Pennsylvania, officials said more rain had fallen over the past

from serious damage.
Anti-British rioting . . .
. . . ha« died clown In Cairo, the capital of Egypt, since King Farouk
Sunday threw out the cabinet and set up a new one. The country re
mains under martial law'and the new premier Aly Maher Pasha, says
It will stay that way unless conditions change.

policy of ousting the British from the Suez Canal area and the Sudan.
The United States has . . .
. . . granted 300 million dollars to bolster Britain's defense production.
It's about half what Britain said it would need. In announcing the
grant, Mutual Security Director W. Averell Harriman noted that Bri
tain is currently producing more military equipment than all other
European alies combined.
The money will come out of the seven billions appropriated by Con
gress under the Mutual Security Act. Herriman said the grant will be
used almost entirely for raw material and other items purchased up to
next July.
Harriman justified the grant with the explanation that without the
300 million. Britain would be forced to reduce its defense program mote
than twice as much. And he said it's vital that no such reduction should
be made.

Morris Returns
From Meeting
Victor P. Morris, dean of the
business administration school, re
turned from the East last week
where he attended a meeting of
the executive committee of the
American Association of Collegi
ate Schools of Business.
Morris is a member of the ex
ecutive committee. The University
of Oregon is a member of the asso
ciation. The University entered the
association in 1914, very soon after
its organization.
The executive committee is con
sidering the application for admis
sion of several schools in different
parts of the country. These appli
cations, however, will be held up
for a few months pending a nation
wide study of the standards of the
schools which are already mem
bers.
The study, beii»g made by Dean
Richard L. Kozelka of the School
of Business Administration at the
University of Minnesota, is cover
ing some 25 schools of business.
The executive .committee also
completed plans for the annual
meeting of the association which
will be held this year at the Uni
versity of Denver, late in April.
While in the East, Morris inter
viewed a number of men who are
being considered for appointments
on the Oregon staff.
Among the campuses visited by
Morris were Columbia, New York
University, Michigan, Wayne, Chi
cago and Washington university
at St. Louis, Mo. Morris said he
found that upon these campuses,
veteran conditions, shrinking en
rollments and staff vacancies are
about the same as they are in the
West.

Dy van savage
“This in the first modern dress
show I’ve ever played in," Jo De
Lap stated in reference to her role
in “All the King’s Men.” "It is also
the first time I've worn heeis on

Miss DeLap plays Sadie Burke,
Willie Stark's little helper. Sadie
is a hard bitten, cynical woman,

with the exception of Stark, whom
she loves sincerely.
Sadie Meets Stark
Sadie meets Stark when she is
sent along to keep an eye on him
for the political bosses, who have
persuaded him to run for gover
nor. They want Stark to run as a
"dummy” candidate to split the
votes against the opposition. Sadie
travels with him during the cam
paigning and later becomes his
mistress.
"Though the role of Sadie is a
comparatively short part, her
mood varies from deep gloom to
hysteria and sunning,” Mi3s DeLap
said.
Mercedes McCambridge won the
Academy award as the best sup
porting actress as Sadie in the film
production of "All the King’s
men.”
