Johnston was the speaker at the meeting of Clariosophic Society, literary group. He said the school lunch program is an example of federal aid, "yet no one criticizes the lunch program." The senator's principal subject was the history of the Democratic Party. In the course of this dis cussion he attributed the beginning of the Republican Party and its suc cess in the election of 1860 to the sponsoring of three candidates by the Democrats. "Lincoln was elected with 40 per cent of the votes, and this brought on the War Between the States," he said. Sen. Johnston said the Demo .1ratic party's "concern for the laboring man" is illustrated by the iemocratic legislative vote on bank leposit insurance, unemployment .ompensation, social security, 90 per !ent parity for farmers, housing, freight rates and rural electrifica Lion. "The first minimum wage act was ,or 25 cents an hour, and the Re )ublicans voted against it," Sen. Fohnston said. In the question period following .he Senator's address, Clariosophic nembers and their guests asked Sen. Johnston for his views on foreign elations and local policies. Ques :ions sought his opinions on Cuba, h e D)ominican Republic, Adlai stevenson as a delegate to the United Nations, the 1954 Supreme Court decision o n integration, "muzzling'' of mnilitary leaders, and federal policy on industrialization of the South. "I am personally against dlicta torship,"' he said, "but I would rather have an anti -Communist dictator in the Caribbean than a pro-Communist Eugene D)yson of Columbia, wvhose Clariosophic Society title is "critic," inItr'oduced Sen.

Frank S. Meyer, a former Com munist and now one of the outstand ing spokesmen for the new con servatism, will speak on "Leaders and Leadership in the 1960's." He is author of the widely heralded book "The Moulding of Communists: The Training of the Communist Cadre." Meyer's book describes the way in which Communist cadres are created, trained and directed. It is based on his earlier relationship with the Communists and on his experience and insights gained during that time. The Fund for the Republic of the Ford Foundation sponsored the book, which was published by Harcourt, Brace and Co. in 1960. Meyer is book review editor of the "National Review" and an out standing journalist and lecturer who has had a wide variety of experi ence with both radical and con servative movements. The lectures, presented annually by the USC Department of Interna tional Studies, are open to the pub lic; there is no admission charge.

The student phase of the cam paign will continue through De cember 16, and will supplement the general campaign in its efforts to set up a permanent endowment fund-the first of its kind in University history. Revenue de rived from the drive will be used to provide undergraduate scholar ships, graduate fellowships, li brary volumes, and endowed pro fessorships, and, according to Dr. Martin, "to build a greater state university than the state can pro vide for itself." Journalist (Continued from page 1) Dabney said that despite the "tremendous problems confronting the United States in the interna tional sphere," this is no time for undlue pessimism. lHe quoted Dr. Charles Malik of Lebanon, former president of the United Nations General Assembly, as saying in a recent address: "Far from disaster being the inevitable issue of the present trend of things, it is altogether po'ssible that humanity is on the verge of a newv age, as wonderful in its brilliance as it is completely unknown, as yet, in character. "The present moment therefore tests at once our ability to see the obvious truth without blinking, and our ability to see the deeper truth without dloubting."
