35 Die In French
Munitions Plant Blasts
SAINT CHAMAS, France, Nov. 16.
-(AP)-One of France's biggest pow-
der factories blew up today, killing
an estimated 35 persons and injur-
ing more than 200.
Army officers directing the rescue
work said there were 35 known dead,
including a man walking along the
Istres-Saint Chamas road more than
'a mile from the scene who was killed
by a stone hurled through the air
by the explosion.
Many of those injured were in seri-
ous cond'ition, the officers said, some
so badly mangled and scarred that
identification was impossible.
The entire town was shaken by the
series of explosions which could be
heard for 10 miles throughout the
countryside.
Before trapped workers had time to
run for their lives, the gendarmes
said,, a, shower of flaming timbers
from the first blast struck the roofs
of other storehouses and the factory
itself, causing quick successive ex-;
plosions.

Harvard Student Dies I
In Gas-Filled Room
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 16.-()I
--A Harvard Law School graduate,
whose brilliance won him high honors
and a coveted scholarship died in his
gas-filled apartment today while in
the act of writing to his parents.
A janitor broke into the rooms of
John R. Meltzer, 23, when he smelled
escaping gas and found the student
slumped in a chair with two gas jets
in a nearby stove open. Over the
jets were pans of skim milk and
bacon. Medical Examiner David C.
Dow said death was accidental.
To his father and mother, Mr. and
Mrs. Julius W. Meltzer of Chicago,
young Meltzer had just written:
,Dear folks-my apartment is very
lce except there always seems to be
an odor of gas about-this morning
I feel very sleepy and can hardly stay
awake to finish this letter."
Student Protest' Strikersj
Return To Classes!
UNION CITY, Mich., Nov. 16.-(AP)
-A strike of 120 Union City high
school students who protested the ex-
pulsioin of a 17-year-old senior end-''
ed today when the students returned
to their class-rooms.
rThe final act in the two-day rebel-
lion will come ten days hence when
Herbert Rathburn, president of the
school board, returns from a deer
hunting trip. The board will decide
whether the strikers shall be required
to make public apologies.
Four members of the board made
the apologies a prerequisite to the
return of the students, but that stip-
ulation was deferred, at the request]
of two score parents, pending the
board president's return. The board<
will meet then with the parents. t

toward the ships of any nation under
the control of the Central Commis-
sion of the Rhine," Professor Preuss
continued.
Germany was represented on the
Central Commission as were all ri-
parian countries. Representatives
from non-riparian nations were also
included on the commission, Profes-
sor Preuss explained, in order to act
as a counter-balance for the domin-
ance of great riparian powers such
as Germany.
The Kiel Canal, which was built
primarily for military purposes, re-
verts back to its pre-war position in
that Germany again will rule its
traffic in any manner she sees fit.
The Versailles Treaty did have an
important*-effect upon the mainten-
ance of the Kiel Canal, Professor
Preuss said, because it provided that
any nation that was at peace with
Germany could have free and open
access to the canal and its ap-
proaches, for its commercial and war
vessels.
Now, however, Germany has re-
established her control over the wa-
terways within her boundaries.
"The cancellation of the interna-
tionalization provisions came as anI
unexpected step because of the suc-
cess of the international commission
regulating waterways," Professor
Preuss said, "and represents the re-
pudiation of the last section of the
Versailles Treaty that Germany can
accomplish without actually stepping
out of its own boundaries."

All residence hall men take their

Study-bedrooms, with all major

$100 to $275 per occupant for the

The construction cost per student

this includes the main dining hall

classics from Shakespeare down are
produced. As an example, Mr. Windt
recalled a presentation he had seen
in Russia, the Tchaikowsky opera
"Eugene O'Negan." "It was done ac-
cording to the best traditions. The
acting, dancing and singing were per-
fected and beautifully blended with-
out the slightest vestige of propa-
ganda." Mr. Windt did, however, in-
timate that some of the classic plays
were occasionally propagandized.
The Russians, he pointed out, are
also aware of the emotional effective-
ness of music for every theatre has
its own orchestra. He showed that
there are more than 40 reportory
theatres in Moscow alone with even
the small theatres having a staff of at
least 150 persons, illustrating the im-
portance and vitality of the Russian
theatre.
"The theatres are always full, with
more than half the audiences made
up of soldiers and other young peo-
ple,' Mr. Windt remarked, "which is
decidedly unlike the American au-
dience, composed largely of the elder
generation. Some of the people get
free tickets to the theatre but even so
the clamor to get in and the size of
the audiences make this practice neg-
ligible in interpreting the motives
for going to the theatre."
