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.

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. Dr. Sundwall Elected Head Of Delta Omega Dr. John Sundwall, director of the Division of Hygiene and Public Health was elected president of Delta Omega. national honorary public health fra- ternity at the Kansas City Conven- tion of the American School Health Association last week. TDr. Sundwall attended both the annual meeting of the Arerican School Health Association of which he is the retiring president and of the American Public Health Associa- tion.

"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.

By STAN SWINTON In little over a cenitury the Uni- versity has grown from an embryonic 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,- 641. In the last 21 years alone the in- ventory has shown an increase ofR $62,223,641, according to the newly released Financial 'Report for the year ending last June 30. During these same 21 years, there has been an average annual in- LUnion Plans Many' Features For Open House Thursday The Union wilh oPen its doois to one and all Thursday night, with ex- hibits, dancing and entertainment featuring the annual Union Open.

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.

It is over this railroad that the present fighting is being carried on. In 1901 he was in charge of engineering of the prov- ince in the Philippines. The next year found him an assistant engineer engaged in harbor work in Manila.
