Rushiing Rule Changes
Also To Be Discussed;
Presidents Must Attend
A discussion of tle rulings passed
by a special committee of the Uni-
versity recently regarding fraternity
and sorority finances will be held at
the first meeting of the Interfrater-
nity Council, 7:30 p.m., Thursday,
Room 306 in the Union, according to
Philip A. Singleton, '36E, president.
The committee which passed the
legislation will be at the meeting and
will explain the reasons, for enacting
rules to the effect that if a fraternity
or sorority has unpaid accounts re-
ceivable amounting to $200or unpaid
accounts payable amounting on July 1
to $500, they will not be able to open
their houses in the fall. The rulings
will go into effect in September 1935.
The members of the committee are
Paul R. Kempf, Herbert H. Upton;
Williai Brown, and H. Segar Slifer.
"It is possible," stated Alvin H.
Schleifer, '35, secretary of the oun-
cil, "that the Council will ask the
University for certain changes and
additions to the rulings."
Changes expected to be discussed
arethat thetaccounts receivable ruling
be changed 'to a higher figure or that a
period longer than July 1 be given to
pay up accounts receivable. The pos-
sibility of petitioning the Board of Re-
gents to pass a ruling, the substance of
which would be to hold up the credits
of any fraternity or sorority member
who has not met fraternal financial
obligations, will also be considered,
said Schleifer.
Singleton -als .stated -that a dis-'
cussion will be held regarding rushing
rule changes. The point that officers
of the Council are particularly inter-
ested in is the reaction -of fraternity
members to the new tax assessed
pledges this year.
It is required by the constitution
of the Council that fraternities must
be represented by their presidents at
the meetings. Other fraternity mem-
bers, however, are invited to come to
the meeting; according to Schleifer.
Mollisons Lead
In Air Derby
To Melbourne
Two American Entrants,
Turner And Pangborn,
In Fifth Place
MILDENHALL AIRDROME, ENG-
LAND, Oct. 20 -(P)- The flying Mol-
lisons roared away from Bagdad to-
night in the van of 19 competitors
in the London-to-Melbourne air
derby, with another British team
close behind them and two Dutchmen
in hot pursuit.
C. W. A. Scott and Malcolm Black,
in a long-distance British machine,
swooped into Bagdad 12 minutes after
the Mollisons had taken off for Alla-
habad, India. Scott had been un-
reported until he reached Iraq, sud-
denly looming up as a major contend-
er.
The Scott-Black team took off from
Bagdad exactly 45 minutes after the
Mollisons.-
K. B. Parmentier and J. J. Moll, of
Holland, in their American "Douglas"
machine stopped 40 minutes at Alep-
po, Syria, then dashed in pursuit of
the Mollisons and Scott.Parmentier
and Moll reached Bagdad at 11:11
p.m. (Greenwich time) and made
hasty preparations to be off again.
Only one machine out of 19 re-
mained unreported, that of Cathcart
Jones and Ken W. Waller, Britishers.
The two American entries, Col. Ros-
coe Turner and Clyde Pangborn, who
took off from Athens for Bagdad at

7 o'clock, were in fifth place. British
News Agency dispatches reported they
had flown over the top of Mont Blanc.

Hauptmann Is Nervous
Awaiting Arraignment
FLEMINGTON, N. J., Oct. 20. - (P)
-Bruno Hauptmann, nervous and
restless under the eyes of three vig-
ilant guards, was called "broken" to-
night by Jersey officials as they
pushed plans for his arraignment on
a charge of slaying the kidnaped
Lindbergh baby.
The prisoner, pallid and thin, lost
his stoic calm after he was brought
to the Hunterdon county jail last
night from the Bronx.
He slept fitfully and ate little. For
a while he paced rapidly along his
narrow cell and the adjacent "bull
pen." Then he sat stilent on his cot,
staring straight ahead.
Mrs. Hauptmann and the prisoner's
Sattorney,James M. Fawcett of New
York, came to the jail in mid-after-
noon and were given permission to see
I Hauptmann.

As Matter Of Hours
Prosecutor Will Ask
For Death Penalty
Leniency Expected To Be
Shown Other Defendants
Involved In Case
LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 20. - (A') -
The capture of Thomas Henry Rob-
inson, Jr., was expected by the De-
partment of Justice tonight to occur
within a few hours.
This announcement came from
Washington after a Federal grand
jury here had indicted the fugitive, his
wife, and his father for abduction of
Alice C. Stoll in terms that made the
death penalty possible for all three
in the event of conviction.
Federal officers announced discov-
ery in Nashville of a chart which
indicated by mystic symbols the loca-
tion of the kidnapers' den in Indian-
apolis. They asserted that Mrs. Rob-
inson and her father-in-law knew the
whereabouts of young Robinson prior
to the dispatch of the $50,000 ransom
from Nashville.
The case assumed an international
aspect when reports came from Port
Erie, Ont., that a hotel man had seen
Robinson there. The story was that
Robinson was accompanied by two
men, one from Flint, Mich.
Explaining the indictment, United
States Attorney Thomas J. Sparks
said the extreme penalty for the three
accused could be exacted if the trial
jury so recommended and the court
concurred.
Asked by newsmen if he intended
to press for the death penalty for
young Robinson, Sparks replied, "I
say unhesitatingly that I will do so."
Toward the other defendant, the
wife who is in jail here in default of
$50,000 bond, and the father, free in
Nashville under $25,000 bail, he was
more lenient.
"I don't know whether I'll ask for1
capital punishment for them or not
yet," he said. "It depends upon the
proof."]
