Council Plan
Gets Approval
Of 14 Societies
Proposal To Do Away With
Class Officers Will Go
Before Students In Poll
Consider Removal
Of Incompetents
With a vote of approval from each
of the 14 societies represented on the
Engineering Council reported last
night, the proposed amendment to
the Engineering Council Constitution,
which will abolish class officers and
revise student government in the
engineering school, will go before the
students next Thursday for a final
referendum vote.
The amendment, introduced two
weeks ago by Wes Warren, '39E,
president, and ratified by the Coun-
cil, provides for the election of two
students every year from each class
who will be known as Engineering
Council Representatives and will act
as sole representatives of the sev-
eral classes in the student govern-
ment of the engineering school. Dele-
gates to the four class dance com-
mittees each year will be chosen from
this number, and keeping the num-
ber of elective class positions to a
minimum.
A suggestion by Sigma Rho Tau
that more concrete provision be made
for the removal of men who proved
unsatisfactory will be taken under
consideration and possibly incor-
porated into the amendment, the
Council decided.
A program to enlighten students in
the engineering school concerning the
salient features of the amendment
under consideration will be conducted,
by the Council all this week.
"Under this new plan," Warren
explained, "every man, fraternity or
independent, will have the oppor-
tunicy to apply for office and stand
a chance at the polls. It will no
longer be necessary for a man to be
a part of an organized political ma-
enie to get his name on the ballot.
"Class committees," Warren said,
"will no longer be composed of men
who have been awarded consolaton
prises as a result of political logrll-
ing, but rather men who've won their
psositions at the polls."
The societies who voted approval
of the amendment during the past'
two weeks and announced results last
night aie: Tau Beta Pi, American II-
stitute of Electrical Engineers, Eta
Kappa Nu, Glider Club, American So-
ciety of Civil Engineers, Transporta-
tion Club, Vulcans, Sigma Rho Tau,
Technic, Institute of Aeronautical
Sciences, American Society of Me-
chanical Engineers, Quarterdeck, Tri-
angles, American Institute of Chem-
ical Engineers.

Spy Witness De
To Forge.Pres
U.S. Army Deserter Tells
Scheme For The Stealing
Of Navy Ship Blueprints
NEW YORK, Oct. 19.-(JP)-
Bungled machinations of Germana
spies in this country were described
in Federal court today by Guenthera
Gustav Rumrich, 32, U.S. Army de-'
serter who testified that Nazi agents
once plotted to forge President
Roosevelt's signature on bogus White'
House stationery..
Moodily reciting his role as a con-
fessed $40-a-week "mail order" spy'
Rumrich said the ring's headquar-
ters in Hamburg, Germany pressed
him for information about the U.S.
Navy aircraft carriers Enterprise and
Yorktown.
The order, he said, came from Karl
Schlueter, the ring's "contact" man.
"I told him the ships were being
constructed in either of the two At-
lantic navy yards," Rumrich testified.
"He said the German navy was plan-~
ning to build airplane carriers and
that the plans of the United States
vessels would be of great help."'
With Schlueter, he said, he evolved
a scheme of getting some fake "White
House" letter paper and forging the
President's signature to a message
ordering the Navy department to de-
liver the plans of the two huge U.S.
Navy craft.

Girdler To Hire
5,0 00_Strikers
Responsibility For Labor's
1937 Strikes Laid At
Door OfRepublic Steel
WASHINGTON, Oct. 19-(P)-The
National Labor Relations Board laid
responsibility for the 1937 strike in
Republic Steel Corp. plants on the
company's "unfair labor practices" to-
day and ordered it to offer reemploy-
ment to 5,000 strikers.
There was no immediate word from
the Company as to whether it would
appeal to the courts, but ir. Cleve-
land, steel circles the opinion was
that this was a foregone conclusion.
The board's decision followed in
the main, its order of last April which
Republic appealed to the U. S. Circuit
Court. Subsequently, the Labor Board
withdrew this order when the
Supreme Court condemned the pro-
cedure the government had followed
in the Kansas City stockyards rul-
ing made by the Agriculture Depart-
ment.
Tom Girdler, chairman of the Board
of Republic, denounced the original
Gabor Board order, asserting it reflect-
ed the "one-sided character" of the
Wagner Act. He blamed the "arro-
gance" of C.I.O. leaders for the strike.
In hearings before the Labor Board,
the Steel Company contended that
the strikers had disqualified them-
selves for re-employment. Its attor-
(neys argued that acts of violence by
individual strikers made reinstate-
ment inequitable.
The Board excepted only 11 men,
however, in its sweeping order for
reinstatement of the strikers. Those
excluded, the Board said, were men
who had pleaded guilty to possessing,
and using explosives

fendants, Rumrich said members of
the ring rifled mail bags on German-
owned transatlantic liners, tried to
enlist "susceptible" U.S. Army and
Navy officers in espionage for Ger-
many, stole the secret "Z code" of the
air force, and engaged his younger
brother as a spy in Prague in antici-
pation of Germany's march on
Czechoslovakia.
The witness, chewing gum and
speaking a little wearily as if tired
of the whole business-he said he
once considered spying the epitome
of glamor-testified that he himself
once threatened a U.S. naval ensign
with "dire consequences" if the of-.
ficer refused to aid the ring.
The witness, who got his spy job
by writing to a German newspaper,
said the plot to forge President
Roosevelt's signature was timed for
early last March and was frustrated
by his arrest late in February.

British Troops
Subdue Arabs
In Jerusalem
1,000 Soldiers Embroiled
In Battle To Establishf
Order In Ancient City
City Curfew Raised
And Food Given Out
JERUSALEM, Oct. 1 - -Ap-
proximately 1,000 British Coldstreamt
Guards marched into the old city of7
Jerusalem at dawn today and de-t
livered the district from the hands
of Arab rebels who had held it for
four days. z
Wearing rubber.soled shoes for
sure footing on the ancient cobbled'
streets, the British troops entered
the old city through historic Da-
mascus gate and almost immediatelyt
were met by a strong fullisade of rebelc
fire.
Within a few hours the troops hadI
subdued the Arabs without loss of a
British life. At least nine Arabs were
killed, and 40 were taken prisoner.
Two British constables were wound-I
ed.
The British established complete
law and order in the old city, tot
which they had laid siege without at-
tempting, until today, to enter. A
deathlike silence hung over the quar-
ter as the crack guards patrolled the
streets.
The Christian and Jewish popula-
tion showed intense relief as the
troops marched through the narrow
deserted streets to the Mosque of
Omar area, which they immediately
cordoned off.
Troops and police then began a
methodical house-to-house search of'
the district between the Mosque and
the old city walls. As each section
was cleared the inhabitants were al-
lowed to circulate in the streets of the,
old city, but were not permitted to
leave its precincts.
A curfew previously imposed was1
lifted immediately. Local authori-
ties distributed bread to beleaguered,E
half-starved residents.t
Soldiers placed stout barbed wire1
barriers at all strategic pointsl
throughout the city.

The possibility remained, howev
that sufficient common desire exis

French to seek something parallel

initialled at Munich.

Need Technical Training Today
Calderwood Explains Hungary's
Claims Against Czechoslovakia
"Today there is a need for a com-

background plus technical training
for college women in business," Mrs.
Katharine Dunbar, guest speaker for
the last Orientation lecture, told 400
University women at the League yes-

Before the depression business of-
fices employed women for two dis-
tinct types of work, Mrs. Dunbar ex-
plained. Women were employed eith-
er to do straight secretarial work or
to meet clients, transact non-clerical
business and act as assistants to her
employers. Following the depression,
the two positions have been com-
bined with the result that business
training must now be two-fold.
In discussing the topic, "College
Women in Business," Mrs. Dunbar
outlined the criticisms that employers
sometimes make of the college wom-
an. The old prejudice that the college
woman knows too much, that she is
too sure of herself still exists, she

By BEN M. MARINO
H u n g a r y undoubtedly has a
stronger claim substantiating its ter-
ritorial demands upon Czechoslovakia
than Germany had to the Sudeten
area, Prof. Howard B. Calderwood of
the political science department, said
yesterday.
He pointed out that Hungary, previ-
ous to the World War, owned the land
through which runs the southern
boundary of Czechoslovakia. Approxi-
mately 750,000 Magyars now reside in
that territory. The grant to Czecho-
slovakia was mad'e at the time in order
to provide the Czech bumper state
with a railroad which originally be-
longed to Hungary.
Apparently the Hungarian demands
are not based on a desire for posses-
sion of mineral wealth in that region,
he added, but on nationality.
Bratislava, the largest city in the
disputed area, is largely inhabited by
Magyars. It was the partitioning of
Hungary which yielded that city and
its surrounding territory in which
Quoting from Lord Bryce's book
"International Relations," Professor
Calderwood explained that even at
the time of the World War an im-
partial party saw Hungary's plight.
"The Ruthenians were separated from
Hungary without being given an op-
portunity to determine for themselves
whether they desired to be free of
Magyar rule. In addition, the Tran-
sylvanian area, approximately one
third Magyar in population, was
severed from Hungary and given to
Roumania, although desiring to re-
main under the rule of that nation."
Hitler, although he will probably,
not take any active part in the present
territorial altercations, can be ex-
pected to throw every bit of his in-
fluence indirectly in Hungary's favor.
Professor Calderwood feels that Hun-
gary's chances to achieve a greater
part of the present territorial demand
are very good. However, he does not
expect that the terms will be met in
full.
Hungary, if successful, may lay
covetous eves upon its minorities in
