Treaty Along Racial Line
Seek To Give Magyar

BERLIN, Oct. 31.--(A')--Germany
and Italy are striving for a new order
in southeastern Europe based on ra-
cial nationalism. it was reported to-
day.
The two totalitarian states in ar-
bitrating the territorial dispute be-
tween Czechoslovakia and Hungary
this week may go far beyond this
issue itself, it was indicated today,
and revise the Trianon Treaty in an,
effort to appease the entire Danubian
area.
Germany Denounces Injustices
The German foreign office mouth-
piece, Deutsche Politsch-Diploma-
tische Korrespondenz, said flatly that
''injustices"' done to Hungary by the
Trianon Treaty in 1920 would play
'an essential role'' in negotiations
opening, at Vienna Wednesday among
Italy, Czechoslovakia and Hungary.
What was "stolen" from the Mag-
yars by th'is treaty, the organ said,1
must be returned to Hungary.
Just Missed Diploma;
Civil War Hero Dead
A 98-year-old man who quit the
University three weeks before his
graduation' in 1861 to enlist with the
Union forces, died yesterday at his
Chicago home.
The man, Major George Mason, re-
ceived belated acknowledgement of
his work here when the University
granted him a Bachelor of Arts de-
gree, in 1933.
It was in April, 1861, when Mason
joined the Union forces. During the
Civil War he served in the 18th 1111-
nois Infantry and, during the Atlanta
campaign, in the 2nd division of the
16th Army Corps. After the war he
'located in Chicago, establishing a
foundry business.

The treaty, negotiated between the
victorious allies and Hungary after
territory, reducing her from a coun-
try of approximately 109,000 square
miles to one of about 35,000 square
miles.
Czechoslovakia acquircd only about
24,300 square miles from Hungary,
whereas Rumania obtained about 38,-
600 square miles, Yugoslavia about
8,100 square miles and Austria about
1,900 square miles.
Germany, Italy Work Together
Germany and 'Italy, the foreign
office organ said, are "going to work
as 'honest brokers' to help end this
conflict (between Czechoslovakia and
Hungary) and thereby lay the
groundwork for a good neighbor re-
lationship among the peoples in the
Danube region."
The Trianon Treaty, said the or-
gan, violated Woodrow Wilson's prin-
ciples, and now "it is a question of
correcting these injustices and re-
turning to the Magyar people what
was stolen from them in flagrant vio-
lation of ethnological principles."

Chamberlain
Shifts Staf f
For Defenses
Seeks To Bulwark Home
Arms Preparedness And
Air Raid Precautions
But Refuses to Arm
On War-Time Basis
LONDON, Oct. 31.-(/P)-Prime
Minister Chamberlain put Sir John
Anderson, "the Iron Man of Bengal,"
into his rebuilt cabinet tonight to bul-
wark Great Britain's home defense
of nearly fifty million civilians.
On the eve of the reassembling of
Parliament, which was shocked by
the nation's unpreparedness in the
days of the September crisis,- the
Prime Minister reconstructed the
Government to assure vigorous lead-
ership for wide organization of Air
Raid precautions and related mea-
sures.
Sir John came into the cabinet
nominally as Lord Privy Seal, but he
is counted upon to put the Govern-
ment Bureau in Charge of Civilian
Defense Preparations on a strong
footing.
Viscount Runciman was named
Lord President of the Council in suc-
cession to Viscount Halisham, who
resigned. Malcolm MacDonald, secre-
tary for colonies, was given the fur-
their portfolio of Dominions Secre-
tary.
The Prime Minister fought shy of
the much demanded Ministry of Sup-
ply to put rearmament on a wartime
basis.
Such an extreme measure, Cham-
berlain was reported to believe, might
block his carefully laid plans to ap-
pease Reichsfuehrer Hitler and Pre-
mier Mussoilni and end all hope of a
four-power understanding on arms
restrictions. He was also understood
to fear the consequences of such a
move on normal industry and export
trade.
Lord Runciman may also aid in
strengthening the Ministry for co-
ordinatiori of defense now headed by
Sir Thomas Inskip. Runciman's dip-
lomatic skill and wide knowledge of
trade and commerce will be at Cham-
berlain's disposal.
For the present at least MacDonald
will carry the tremendous burden of
colonial and dominions affairs. Both
are vital portfolios because of the
Arab-Jew upheaval in Palestine and
the imminence of negotiations with
Germany over the return of her war-
lost colonies. The dominions post
had been vacant since the death of
Lord Stanley Oct. 16. '
The whole newcabinet line-up ap-
peared to have been cautiously ma-
neuvered by Chamberlain to further
his idea of a four-power arrangement
between the great European democra-
cies and the Nazi-Fascist nations built
upon the foundation of the Munich
Peace Pact.

dent, asserted the Committee was
guilty of "extraordinary presenta-
tion and :manipulation of witnesses
and testimony "for political pur-
poses.
"At no time is there anything which
could be called cross-examination.
Some of the yarns contain serious
accusations against public officials
and private citizens. These officials
and these citizens are note present to
defend themselves; they are never
asked to be present; their first knowl-
edge that they have beencaccused
comes from reading the accusations
in newspapers," Anderson said.
Dies accused President Roosevelt,
the justice department and the WPA
of ignoring a congressional request
that his Committee be staffed with
stenographers, investigators and at-
torneys from the executive depart-
ments. Moreover, he said, the secre-
tary of the Senate Civil Liberties
'ommittee offered him two investiga-
tors for the purpose of "sabotaging"
the investigation.
In response to a suggestion by the
President, Anderson said, two other
Washington correspondents, John
O'Donnell and Doris Fleeson of the
New York Daily News, polled report-
ers who have covered the hearings.
Eleven thought the hearings "unfair,"
he said. Two thought them about as

In little over a cenitury the Uni-

educational institution whose assets
consisted of 40 acres of land, the
homes of four professors, Mason Hall
and a $3,000 library to a colossus
whose property is valued at $69,548,-

In the last 21 years alone the in-
ventory has shown an increase ofR

released Financial 'Report for the

During these same 21 years, there

crease of $2,876,000 in the University's
book value. 1937-38 saw a slight
slump, with only $2,430,562 added to
the total, but the present school year
will more than make up for that with
an increase of $7,000,000 already as-
sured.
Disregarding the University hos-
pital, which is self-supporting, operat-
ing expenses are derived chiefly from1
the state appropriation.
Contrary to popular opinion, stu-
dent fees pay little more than one
fifth of the University's yearly bill.
In 1937-38 they totalled only $1,693,-
134. Percentage figures on the otherI
sources of revenue were: sales and
services, 2.9; income from endow-
ment, 6.66; gifts for current use, 4.76,
and miscellaneous, 2.96. The Federal,
land grant, which once was the only
supplement to student fees, now
amounts to only .50% of the total.
Endowments, some of which are
held in trust and others by the Uni-'
versity, have increased rapidly in
recent years. As- late as 1917 they
amounted to but little more than
$537,000. In the following 10 years
