Embassy In Berlin To Apprehend Nazi Offenders American Attacked Native Of M a r ya n d Is Strhc Twice In Face By By Storm-Trooper BERLIN, Oct. 12.-(P)-Deep con- cern was manifested at the American embassy today over the recurrence of Nazi molestations of Americans. As word reached here that Secre- tary of State Hull at Washington had demanded prompt apprehension of offenders, a foreign office spokesman said there had been no needless delay. "We are doing all possible," he said, "to hasten the prosecuting of cases," His statement was prompted by new representations to the German government, occasioned by the attack on Roland Velz, a native of Maryland and former resident of Connecticut. Velz was strick twice in the face by a Nazi trooper Tuesday at Dus- seldorf, he told American embassy attaches, when he failed to give the Nazi salute as a parade passed. U.nited States Ambassador William E. Dodd complained of government delay in answering his requests for the prosecution of those guilty in the series of molestations of Amercans. "The'embassy of its own accord last Thursday addressed a formal note to the foreign office along the same lines as indicated by Secretary Hull," the ambassador said, but all these days have elapsed and no reply has been received." It was explained at the foreign office, however, that the delay result- ed from the illness of the staff mem- ber in charge of the American sec- tion. The impatience of the American officials has been increased by the fact that although apologies have been offered for the molestations no prosecutions have been undertaken. On July 7, Philip Zuckerman, an American fur dealer, was assaulted allegedly by Nazis. A month later, Aug. 17, Dr. Daniel Mulvihill of Danbury, Conn., connect- ed with the Long Island Medical col- lege at Brooklyn, was struck on the head for failing to salute a Nazi de- tachment. ^ - ,Twodays afterward, in response to American demands, the ministry of the interior announced that foreign- prs henceforth would be considered exempt from any oblgation to raise their right arms in the Hitler salute when. they saw Nazis parading with the colors. But other incidents followed Sam- uel Bossard of Chester, Pa., was at- tacked by Storm Troopers Sept. 2,{ and Rolf Kaltenborn, a son of a former editor of the Brooklyn Eagle, received like treatment three days later. Ambassador Dodd this morning re- ceived the latest instructions of Sec- retary of State Hull, while the Span- ish and British embassies and the Dutch legation were similarly advised to make representations.

Gore from the student body of the University of P u e r t o Rico," was the inscrip- tion on a book presented to the is- land's chief executive last week. But it was no good will offering' from the Puerto Rican students. The book was a copy of Antonio Carreno's Spanish= Etfquette, and it was pur- chased with a subscription taken up by the students after the governor had twice refused to see a studentj delegation calling at his office to pro- test the appointment of Rafael Alon- zo Torres to the board of trustees of the university. The protest, the students said, was made not because of the fact that Torres is a socialist, but because he did not have the educational qualifi- cations for the office. The students suggested the names of several other Socialists they thought better quali- fied for the position. When they could not see Gov. Gore, the students cabled a protest to Presi- dent Roosevelt at Washington. Latin - American students at all times take more than an academic interest in the affairs of government, and they are considered as powerful political influences.' This was demonstrated particularly in Cuba, where the A.B.C., largely a student organization, finally was suc- cessful in overthrowing the govern- ment. Economy Measure Hits U. Hospital The South Department of the Uni- versity Hospital formerly called the Homeopathic Hospital, was closed yesterday "as a measure of economy," according to hospital authorities. The department, which has a ca- pacity of 125, was used for convales- cent orthopedic, or bone-joint pa- tients. They were transferred to some of the other units which had avail- able space. It is expected that the department will remain closed for a period of three months after which it will be reopened if the space is required. At present the kitchen, which is sup- plying the Health Service with in- firmary food, is the only part of the South Department which is remain- ing in operation.

British Envoy Renews Talk On War Debts British Official Asserts England's War Debts Are Not Commercial WASHINGTON, Oct. 12-(P)--Ad- ditional arguments favoring reduc- tion of the British war-debt were mobilized by representatives of the London government today for pre- sentationto. American officials upon resumption-*of the war debt confer- ences. Sir Frederick Leith-Ross of the British treasury assembled facts and figures to ay before Dean Acheson, chief Am4fican represeIttaive in the negotiations. Sir Frederick, with his colleagues, Sir Ronald Lindsay, the British am- bassador, and T. K. Bewley, econom- ic adviser to the British embassy, had an appointment to call at the treasury for their second formal meeting with American officials. In the first session they presented the argument that the loans in which the debts originated were nec- essary to successful British war-time operations, were not commercial in character, and that great and un- foreseen changes in world economic conditions had radically altered the situation. Assisting Under-secretary Acheson in the negotiations are Frederick Livesey, assistant economic adviser to the state department, and Daniel W. Bell, commissioner of accounts and deposits in the Treasury. Dr. Anderson May Take Pastorate In New York .(Continued from Page 1) ment as to his position until the proposition should be definitely of- fered. There the matter seemed to end. Two weeks ago, however, he re- ceived word that the committee had unanimously agreed to recommend him if he would permit them to go ahead. He agreed to consider the matter if it were offered, and the result was a unanimous call issued by the congregation as a special meet- ing held last 'Wednesday night. It is now up to li. Anderson. Dr. Anderson is a graduate of Washington and Jefferson College, where he played half-back on the football team, and from which in- stitutiori he received his bachelor of arts and master of artsdegrees. Fol- lowing t is, he earned his bachelor of divinity degre, from' McCormick Theological Seminary,' Chicago, and his doctor pf divinity degree from Miami SI ate University, in Oxford, Ohio. In addition to his Ann Ar- bor pastorate, he has been connected with Presbyterian churches in Phila- delphia, Dayton, 0., St. Louis, and Morristown, N. J. During the var he was a chap- lain connected with the 42nd and the 39th Engineers, but was detached and put in charge of the welfare and religious work at Camp Merritt, where he served until the close of the War. In 1919 he was elected to an executive position under the Gen- eral Council of the Presbyterian church, with headquarters in Phila- delphia. He resigned from this serv- ice in 1924 because he preferred the work of the pastorate. At that time he had several pastorates offered to him, but he chose Ann Arbor because of the opportunity to work with stu- dents. .. His love pf student work will prob- ably be the deciding factor in his present choice; North Church is in the vicinity of both Columbia Uni- versity and the College of the City of New York, and many of the men of the church are Columbia faculty members." -Associated Press Photo Theodore G.

Hugh Johnson to surrender his Blue Eagale Insignia because he was reported violating the minimum wage andemaximum hours payment of the code. 23-Year Old Dean At Akron College Claimed Youngest (By Intercollegiate Press) AKRON, Oct. 12-Until some other college comes along to dispute it, the University of Akron claims the youngest acting dean of men in the United States. He is Donald Shank, 23, a gradu- ate of the Akron class of '31, who, after a year's experience as assis- tant to the dean of men, has been appointed acting dean of men in the absence of Dean Gardner, who is on leave.

As in the past, a local cleaning and press- ing establishment indicated to Coun- cil members that it would again fur- nish a cup to be presented to the best-decorated house. To Enforce Pots A report by the Council committee in charge of the recent campus NRA drive, indicated that between 4,000 and 5,000 stickers had been sent out to students during the two-day drive -which the Council conducted. An an- nouncement was also made indicating the intention of all Council members to stand behind the movement for encouraging freshmen to wear pots. The individual members and the Council proper pledged full support to the campaign now under way to up- hold this and other campus tradi- tions. The disciplinary committee issued a report on the few cases which have come before that body recently. Mem- bers of the committee are to meet with the faculty disciplinary commit- tee today when the latter g r o u p passes upon the recommendations in the case of two students who were arrested by local police Saturday night. The results of that meeting will provide a basis for the formulat- ing of plans which may govern simi- lar cases in the future. Loses Blue Eagle Welfare Funds Reduced, Says Fred Johnson State Administrator S e e s Need Of Using Weight Tax Money For Relief State funds for welfare work are g r e a t ly diminished, according to State Administrator Fred Johnson, who made a report at the annual Oc- tober meeting of the Washtenaw Board of Supervisors Tuesday in the County Building. As a solution for this condition, Johnson suggested that the county use the weight tax money for relief work. County Clerk Harry H. Atwell re- ported receipts of $5,695.75 for the year which ended Sept. 30 and sub- mitted a new budget of $4,300 to the finance commission. Sheriff Jacob Andres reported ex- penses of $23,936 and put forth a new budget of $24,429 which included $200 for police radios in the county cars. Frank H. Tichnor, county treas- urer, estimated a budget of $4,235 for the coming year. He reported a balance of $577,094 in all county funds as compared to $893,093 with which the year started. Reports were heard from the school nurse, the truant officer, and juve- nile probation officer. Official Demands License Reduction LANSING, Oct. 12.-The steady de- crease in the number of automobiles in use in Michigan since 1929, bears out the contention of Secretary of State Frank D. Fitzgerald that the cost of license plates should be re- duced datcly. On Oct. 1, 1933, there were 67,807 fewer cars and trucks on Michigan highways than in 1932 and 269,326 less than in 1929. Many of these cars are not being operated because the owners are unable to purchase license plates. This is shown by the half- price permits which allowed 1932 plates to be used until Aug. 1. Of the 415,496 motorists who purchased half-price permits, only 343,140, as near as can be ascertained, have been able to purchase 1933 plates. Revenue from the sale of plates al- so is decreasing. For the first 10 months of 1933, automobile license revenues amounted to $17,359,262. This is a decrease of $1,232,896 for the same period last year and $4,077,- 119 less than for the first 10 months bf 1929.

Ping-Pong And Bridge Tourney Draw Students With more than 50 already signed up for ping-pong and approximately 20 teams for the contract bridge play, final registrations for the first tourneys on the Union's fall sched- ule will be taken between the hours of 3 and 5 p. m. this afternoon at the student offices. Student response to the plans have been greater than was anticipated, officials said, but there is still room for a number of entries in both the events. Many fraternities have en- rolled teams to play in the contract bridge tournament and it is expected that a number of others will sign up today. At present the teams are about half from fraternities and half composed of independents. Both tournaments begin Monday, Oct. 16. Players in the ping-pong will play singles matches at this time, officials having decided to hold another tournament for doubles la- ter if this one proves successful. It was emphasized that failure to play any match constitutes a forfeit. Remember SENIOR PICTURES ARE BEING MADE NOWI! Photographer Make an appointment.
