German Students Political-Minded
There is more intellectual inter-
est and less social interest among
the students of Germany as com-
pared to American University stand-
ards, according to Professor Wood.
They are all political-minded, and
take violent sides on current politi-
cal questions. Most of the students
are Nazis, Professor Wood declared.

Discess Patronage
ALBANY, N. Y., Feb. 24.-("P)--
lresident-Elect R o o s e v e l t called
James A. Farley, Democratic national
chairman and master of patronage,
to his side today to make final de-.
cision on the multitude of appoint-
ments necessary to put the new Dem-
ocratic government into operation
March 4.
The President-elect to all effects
completed his cabinet Thursday night
with the announcement that George
H. Dern, former governor of Utah,
would be his secretary of war.
He also gave a surprise with the
statement that Representative Lewis
Douglas, yo'uthful Arizona advocate'
of economy in government, would be
his new budget director. Douglas led
the economy drive in the house and
will be relied upon by Roosevelt to
use the ax on government expendi-
tures in the sveeping reorganization
he plans.
Before leaving - here today, Mr .
Roosevelt got in touch with- Farley
and invited him to go on to Hyde
Park, where the next President prob-
ably will remain for most of the time
before going 'to Washington for in-
auguration.
Mayor James M.- Curley of Boston,
is one of the Roosevelt intimates on
the list' for appointment to high
0ffice.
The President-Clect came here
Thursday night to attend the an-
nual dinner of the Legislative Cor-'
respondents' association. He called
first at the executive mansion where
he and Mrs. Roosevelt were guests
of Gov. and Mrs. Herbert Lehman
at tea.

'cncing duels no longer exist in
Gcrmai universities, however, there
is a certain amount of student so-
cial life. They spend a great deal of
their time in reading. according toI
Professor Wood, but when they take{
a girl out, the girl always pays her
own xvay.
German Students Poor, Too
When asked whether there were
any students "living in attics on two
dollars a week," Professor Wood de-
clared that many of them were liv-
ing on almost nothing. There was a
time before the war when students
who tried to work their way through
the university lost caste and social
position. "This, of course, due to
present economic conditions, is no
onset true. Many Students work
while they are in school, however,
'according to American standards,
student costs are comparatively
cheap.
H o w e v e r, economic conditions
throughout Germany are considerably
lower than in America. A large mid-
dle class has been wiped out by in-
flation of the currency.
Well Organized Welfare
"But in many respects Germany
is better off than we are," Professor
Wood stated. "We are badly organ-
ized, and up until a short time ago
we were afraid to recognize the prob--
lem that confronted us. Germany has
well organized welfare 'elief, but no
money to carry out needed relief on
a large scale as in Ameria.
"The Reich has been doing as
much as it can under the circum-
stances, and social insurance has
helped to a certain extent, but local
communities are almost broke.".
Cities are models of cleanliness,'
better than ours, in spite of econo-
mic advantages, Professor Wood de-
clared. Even the poorer worker's
dwellings were, always clean, char-'
acterized by a sense of. order and
discipline.
Crime is conspicuously absent,
Professor Wood said, except for fair-
ly 'frequent -.political iots and dis-
turbances. The police force in the
larger cities, Professor Wo'od noticed,:
were -well groomed, 6vell trained;
.and very courteous."

Germans Riot
,011,i i ists Fear Seizure
By Government; Police
BERLIN. Feb. 24.-(0)-Four more
persons were dead and many others
injured today as the result of politi-
cal rioting in various cities of the
reich.
The reichsbanner man at Leipzig
and a policeman at Dortmund were
slain Thursday and two opponents
of Hitler died in Berlin and Hanover.
A leftist source told the Associated
Press that leading Communistsfeared
they would be seized by the govern-
ment at any moment as hostages and
no longer dared to return to their
homes.
(The Communists had 100 of the
600 seats in the last reichstag dis-
solved by Hitler and were even
stronger in the Prussian diet. Next
to the Socialists, their party is the
largest opposing Hitler's forces in the
reichstag-and diet elections March 5.)
At Dortmund, police banned all
Communist meetings following con-
tinued disorders. Many were injured
in rioting in the Silesian cities of
Breslau and Hindenburg when Nazis
stormed Socialist meetings.
In Essen, police cancelled a Social-
ist mass meeting where former Chan-
cellor Philipp Scheidemann was
scheduled to speak. Nazis had occu-
pied streets adjacent to the hall.
Following a warning from Dr. Wil-
helm Frick, Nazi minister of interior.
that the reich will countenance no
resistance from south German states
to extension of commissioner rule,
Fritz Schaeffer, champion of state's
rights, told a mass meeting at Wuerz-
burg Thursday night that "the ca-
thedral of Bamberg was already
standing when wild boars rooted
around the swampy spot that is Ber-
lin today."
