RIO DE JANEIRO, Oct. 8. -The
federal government of Brazil, faced
with revolutionary movements from
the north and south, today poured
out armies and naval forces to sup-
press the rebel armies. The govern-
ment devoted particular attention
to the rebels in the state of Minas
Geraes to the northwest, and Per-
nambuco in the north. A concen-
tration of troops also was being
carried out in the state of Santa
Catharina.
The main purpose of these move-
ments was to prepare the ground
for the ultimate overthrow of the
rebel forces in the state of Rio
Grande do Sul where the insurrec-
tionary movement has been cent-
ered.
Planes Bomb City.
Army planes today continued
bombing operations in the state of
Minas Geraes, the planes flying
over the capital city of Belo Hor-
zonte. The capital building itself
was reported to have been hit.
A warship has been sent north-
ward to the city of Pernambuco,
which was reported in the hands of
the insurgents, and a new army
commander with reinforcements al-
so was started northward.
The same measures were taken
fordealing with the seaport of Flor-
ianopolis in the southern state of
Santa Catharina. It was underst'ood
the government was planning to
base its later activities against the
rebels in Rio Grande do Sul from
this city.
The federal forces have reoccu-
pied certain towns in the states of
Minas Geraes along the central
railway.
Arrange Food Supplies.
Food supplies, about which there
had been some concern, are now
coning into Rio de Janeiro regular-
ly from the nearest parts of Minas
Garaes. The government also has
issued a deoee fixing the prices of
necessities in Rio de Janeiro and
providing for the taking over of
private stock if this should become
necessary.
Latest advices at the capital
stated that with the exception of
the state of Rio Grande do Sul, the
federal government should soon be
in position to dominate everywhere
in Brazil.

THOUSANDS PAY TRIBUTE TO DEAD
FROM BRITISH DIRIGIBLE DISASTERI

Unidentified Bodies Lie in State

LONDON, Oct. 8. - Peers and
commoners met alike today in
homage to the 47 dead of the R-10
whose bodies rest, all but a few of
them unidentified in the mortu-
ary chapel of Westminster Abbey.
Coffins ranged in grim rows, over
each a flag, gave silent testimony of

many Londoners waved a farewell
as it departed on its journey East

U NCONSTITUTIONAL
Frey Criticizes Massachusetts
for Giving Judiciary
Too Much Power.
SUPPORTS LABOR UNIONS
(fly Asocied IPes )
BOSTON, Oct. 8.-Massachusetts
law which permits the judiciary to
rule on the constitutionality of
legislation before it is passed was
criticized today before the Amer-
ican Federation of Labor conven-
tion here by John P. Frey, secre-
tary of the metal trades depart-
ment. Frey spoke on the so-called
"yellow dog" contract.
The criticism was made, Frey
said, because a recent opinion of
the supreme court of this state
which declared proposed anti-
yellow dog contract legislation to
be unconstitutional, would un-
doubtedly be used against labor in
other states. The only state that
has adopted legislation prohibiting
the yellow dog contract is Wiscon-
sin, Frey said. Such legislation has
been endorsed by many state labor
federations.
Frey said the "interference" of
the judiciary with the legislative
branch of the Massachusetts gov-
ernment runs contrary to the fed-
eral constitution. He criticized the
supreme court for taking advantage
of the provisions in the law which
allowed it to render its opinion.
The "yellow dog" contract is an
agreement wheeby an !employer
prohibits an employee from doing
certain things, usually affiliating
with unions. It was because of the
decision, unfavorable to labor and
such a contract, that organized
labor opposed the nomination of
Judge J. J. Parker for a place on
the United States Supreme Court
bench recently.
An attempt by a group of 50
communists to gain entrance to the
convention hall was thwarted by
federation officials.
Prom, Frolic to Stay
as Separate Functions
Favoring the continuance of the
Frosh Frolic and the Soph Prom,
the Student council voted to retain
both social functions at their meet-
ing last night.
Discussion on the subject, which
was tabled from the meeting last
week, was limited to a compara-
tively few remarks after the coun-
cil had determined the amount of
sentiment, by both sophomores and
freshmen, in support of the dances.
Since both parties had, in the past,
been unsuccessful from a financial
viewpoint, and since little interest
had ever been shown for the Soph
Prom, the council was considering

either combining the two into an
underclass event or abolishing one
or the other. Student leaders of
both classeshowever, strongly op-
posed any such action.
The date for the Soph Prom has
been set for Dec. 5.
Automotive Engineers
Predict Aluminum Cars
i ~(By Associated Press)
DETROIT, Oct. 8.-Eight hundred
engineers attending opening ses-
sions of the American Society of
Automotive Engineers were told
Tuesday that the automobile of the
future will be built largely of alum-
inum.
Because of its light weight and
the accessibility of apparently in-
exhaustible supplies, the grap meta
was held out as the solution of th
r01 - -apr -l nr lm ,

minders, throngs passed through
the chapel, some persons to help in
giving names to the victims, others
in profound grief and many promt-
ed by curiosity.
A glimpse of the dead was denied
to all save those military officials
and relatives who might aid in
identification.
The interior of the chapel, ordin-
arily severe and cold in ancient
dignity, today was a bower of floral
tribute sent by persons from many
walks of life.
Tomorrow the bodies will be re-
moved to Westminster hall, adja-
cent to the Abbey. This venerable
building will then again become a
national shrine for the month, as
it was 20 years ago when King
Edward VII laysthere in state.
Westminster hall, which dates
from the time of Edward the Con-
fessor and has been the scene of
some of thehmost celebrated trials
in English history, will be open to;
the public on Friday morning, with
the bodies lying in state during the
whole day.
Memorial services willhbe in two
parts, in each of which separate'
creeds will have their part, each
paying homage to its dead.
The Church of England memorial
will be held in St. Paul's cathedral
and Westminster cathedral will be
the scene of a stately mass of
requiem by the church of Rome.

DECIDE ELECTION DATES'
With the election of Harry Ben-
jamin, '32, and John Denler, '32, the
Student Council filled the two jun-
ior vacancies in their membership
at the second meeting of the year
last night.
The council, voting as a body,
chose two of the four candidates
named by the nominating commit-
tee Monday night to fill the open-
ings caused by the ineligibility of
two members elected last year.
Hugh Conklin, '32E, and Norman
Elizer, '32, were the defeated candi-
dates for office.
Because of the confusion hereto-
fore regarding the eligibility of class
officers, the council passed a reso-
lution providing that all candidates
for office will be required to pre-
sent an eligibility slip, secured from
the office of the Dean of Students,
before they can be chosen to any
position.
Dates for class elections for the
engineering college and the archi-
tectural school were set by the gov-
erning body. The seniors of each
college fill select their officers on
Friday, Oct. 17, while the juniors
will ballot the following Friday. The
sophomore elections, in both cases
will 'be held Wednesday, Oct. 31.
Freshmen election dates will be set
at a later meeting as will dates for
other schools and colleges of the
University. As previously an-
nounced the first election this fall,
will be that of the senior literary
class, Wednesday, Oct. 15.

(By Assoiatd HPres)V
BOSTON, Oct. 8. - The serious B
matter of a national convention oc- c
cupied the attention of the Amer-
ican Legion here today. The out-y
standing events of a five-hour ses-
sion were:
1. The choice of Detroit as the
1931 convention city.
2. The adoption of, resolutions
condemning the acts of vandalism
by hoodlums who took advantage of
the convention to spread disorder
last night.
Cheer Resolutions. I
The resolutions dealing w i t h
communism and that condemning
the activities of the hoodlums were
cheered. In the first, the Legion
endorsed the appointment of a spe-
cial Congressional committee now
investigating communists in the
country and urged that after it had i
reported, that Congress enact legi- d
slation to end all communistic ac-a
tivities in the United States. Thet
second rebuked those who tipped a
over automobiles, set fire to them,«
and engaged in street brawls with t
policemen and civilians late last
night and early today. The Legion g
said manyof the ruffians posed as d
Legionnaires.o
Vote is Large.F
The fight for the next convention v
was between Detroit and Los An- b
geles with Wilbur M. Brucker, Re- t
publican nominee for governor of
Michigan and Mayor Frank Murphyt
of Detroit leading the fight for De-1
troit. John R. Quinn, past com-'i
mander, put forth the cause of Los n
Angeles. The vote was 658 to 570 F
in favor of Detroit and Quinn im-
mediately withdrewathe name of
Los Angeles and asked that Detroit
be unanimous.
Mayor Murphy's chief argumentg
for Detroit was that it was central-
ly located and easily reached fromX
all parts of the country.t

AGREE TO PREFERENCES
(By Asoiated Prss)
LONDON, Oct. 8.-Great Britain's'
mperial conference made plans to-
lay to build high tariff walls'
around the United Kingdom and
he dominions beyond the seas, as'
a protective measure against the
"economic blizzard" that has hit
he world.
It was J. H. Thomas for the home
government who called the present
epression a "blizzard" when he
)pened today's session but it was
Premier R. B. Bennett of Canada,
where they know how to deal with
blizzards, who took the center of
the conference stage.
Mr. Bennett quickly aroused in-
terest with a definite proposal of
10 per cent additional preference
n the Canadian market for the
mother country and for other em-
pire units which would return the
favor. A
Moreover, the Canadian prime
minister invited the empire dele-
gates to Ottawa next spring as
guests of the Canadian people for
he purposeof building a compre-
hensive system of British empire
preferential tariffs. There, in Ot-
towa, under the shadow of the
United States tariff wall, the em-
pire envoys would prepare their
own protective system.
Bennett spoke following Mr.
Thomas,who had inaugurated the
empire's economic survey. Spokes-
men of other empire units, Aus-
tralia, South Africa, Newfoundland,
the Irish Free State and India, one
after another, approved the gen-
eral principle of empire preference.

PRATT TO REDUCE
STRENGTHOF NAVY1
Chief of Naval Operations Plans
to Withdraw Vessels, Men
From Service.*
CONFORMS WITH TREATY
(By Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, Oct. 8.-The first3
big move of the United States Navy
to bring its fleet within the limita-
tions of the London Naval Treaty
was announced today by Admiral
William V. Pratt, chief of naval op-
erations.
His plan calls for the withdrawal
from service of 49 vessels and the
immediate reduction of 4800 men.
He said the navy would save $10,-
998,949 by the end of the 1932 fiscal
year under the new arrangement.
Admiral Platt said the greatest
reduction would be made in de-
stroyer units, each division of which
would be reduced from six to four
vessels. Submarine tonnage would
be kept to a figure within the 52,-
700 tons allowed by the treaty in
a program of decommissioning and
scrapping to prepare for replace-
ments.
Supplementing Admiral Pratt's
announcement, Rear Admiral John
Halligan, jr., assistant chief of nav-
al operations,said the changes
would result in saving of almost
four million and a half dollars dur-
ing the 1931fiscal year and over
$7,500,000 during the same period
for 1932.
I As a result of the new program, a
training squadron has been formed
from two battleships, the Arkansas
and Wyoming, and eight destroyers
to operate with the scouting fleet
in the Atlantic. Admiral Platt said
the squadron was created so that
fighting units might carry on their
operations without being involved
in training activities on visits to
local celebrations.

(By Assoc ited Press)
S111B PARK, l'hiladclphia,
Oct. 8.- The great right arm of
George Livingston Earnshaw and
the dynamite in the bat of his team-
mates, exploding with devastating
effect all over the premises, today
swept the Philadelphia Athletics to
their second successive world cham-
pionship and their fifth of all time
under the leadership of Connie
Mack.
While the 67-year-old patriarch of
baseball sat serene and quiet on the
bench, in solitary dignity among a
flock of wildly excited ball players,
the Athletics put on a power-plus
exhibition of baseball to rout the
St. Louis Cardinals, 7 to 1, in the
sixth game of the World Series.

the b6x after two innings and ham-
mered three of the four Cardinal
pitchers for seven smashing extra-
base hits.
On the same field where they
made five extra base drives account
for as many runs in the opening
game's rout of Burleigh Grimes, the
Athletics today collected five doubles
and two home runs, one by Al Sim-
mons and the other by Jimmy
Dykes, to roll up a total of 18 bases
and seven runs.
Cardinals Staggered.
Staggered back from the terrific
force of this high explosive bom-
bardment, the Cardinals were sub-
dued for the second straight game
by the fast ball pitching of Earn-
shaw, who blanked them for eight
succesive innings as he completed
one of the greatest pitching exhibi-
tions in World Series history.
With only a day's travel from St.
Louis to Philadelphia, for rest,
Earnshaw returned to the mound
and mastered the National League
champions with the same skill and
effectiveness he showed in whipping
them in the second game here and
in hold ing them scoreless less for
seven straight innings of the cru-
cial fifth game at St. Louis Monday
afternoon.
