From now on, the Senate will be composed of 30 members rather than 32 as a result of the new amendment. Moreover, Senators will be elected for a term of three semesters instead of two as in the past. Thus only 10 will be chosen at each election. Fur- thermore, although the Senate has held none too closely to the policy, elections will be held within the first four weeks after the beginning of the semester instead of six weeks as for nerly. The Senate officially endorsed the all-campus Peace Council, and ap- pointed two Senators-Robert Reed, '42, and Annabel Hill, '42SM-to at- tend the Negro Conference today at the Union. Reports were heard from the com- mittee head on Spring Parley plans and from that quarter best results in the history of the Parley were prom- ised.

Topic Of Villari Tall' Famous Italian Statesman, And Scholar To Speak Today About Europe Dr. Luigi Villari, noted Italian his- torian and statesman, will talk on "Italy and the International Situa- tion" in a University lecture spon- sored by the political science depart- ment at 4:15 p.m. today in the Rack- ham Lecture Hall. Dr. Villari is a member of the staff of the League of Nations and former- ly of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It was as a member of the staff of the League of Nations that Dr. Villari chiefly gained his inter- national fame, but his fame in his native country was firmly established upon his appointment as member of the Foreign Affairs Ministry. Born in Italy and educated in Ox-~ ford, in England, Dr. Villari has car- ried on the tradition set by his father, a prominent historian of modern Eur- ope. Dr. Villari has especially cen- tered his writing and research upon contemporary European history, es- pecially the history of Italy. As a historian, Dr. Villari has been one of the most important contribu- tors to the Italian Encylopedia and has written several books on modern European history. MySIterious Hain B yN1col Smi By A. P. BLAUSTEIN Concluding this year's Oratorical Series, Nicol Smith, noted young American traveller, described to more than four thousand people last night in Hill Auditorium his explorations among the primitive inhabitants of the mysterious island of Hainan. His lecture, which was illustrated with motion pictures and colored slides, told of the customs and living conditions of the Lois and Danchus living in Hainan, which, until recent- ly, was part of the Chinese province of Kwangtung. Today it is a Jap- anese possession and is being used as a naval base. Speaking of the military signifi- cance of the island, Smith asserted that it is of great strategic import- ance, since it lies across the British defense line between Hong Kong and Singapore and near the port of Hai- phong in French Indo-China and Dutch Guinea.

STEINKOFF HORNUM, ISLAND OF SYLT, March 21. -(P-- Three American newspapermen, ferried to this Ger- man air base by Field Marshal Her- mann Goering's own plane and by special train from the mainland across the Hindenburg Dam, tonight viewed the results of a 6-hour Bri- tish bombing raid. Only two of the buildings which we saw showed signs of extensive damage. We did not see evidence of direct hits on hangars, nor were we able to discover, on our inspection trip across the dam, indications that any British bombs had hit the cause- way. German authorities say that three civilians were hurt by bomb splinters in the raid. A section of the civilian population of Sylt, mostly women, children and men above military age, continues to tend farms on the is- land. In our trip across the 6-mile Hin- denburg Dam, on a slow special train which stopped frequently for inspec- tion of the right-of-way, we were unable however to see any evidence of damage to the strategic little rail- way which is the lifeline of Sylt. The sand dunes at the southern end of the island were literally pep- pered with British bombs, and citi- zens and soldiers were curiously ex- amining the craters. Officers estimated that about 40 bombs fell on the extensive grounds of the airport in the south. "Of course our antiaircraft guns harried them and they seemed to be nervous," said these Germans. "There was lots of noise but little if any military effectiveness." Cromwell Is Scolded For Anti-Nazi Talk WASHINGTON, March 21.-)- Secretary Hull told James H. R. Cromwell, American minister to Can- ada tonight that his pro-Ally, anti- German speech at Toronto Tuesday "contravened standing instructions to American diplomatic officers" and warned him not to do it again. Hull sent the millionaire diplomat a telegram after a storm of objection had risen in Congress to Cromwell's strong address. The Secretary said ".such public statements by our dip- lomatic representatives are likely to disturb the relations between this and other governments." He added: "Public discussion of controversial! policies of other governments, par- ticularly with governments engaged in war, without the prior knowledge and permission of this government, is not in accord with such standing instructions." Heads Cabinet PAUL REYNAUD Hillel .Drama 'Gentle People' Starts Today Hillel's major production of 1940, Irwin Shaw's "The -Gentle People," will open a two-day run at 8:30 p.m. today in the Lydia Mendelssohn The- atre. The play, which is subtitled "A Brooklyn Fable," pictures the life of a few "gentle people" menaced by a "small time" gangster and the subsequent gaining of happiness by the oppressed. Commenting on the play yesterday, Prof. Kenneth T. Rowe of the Eng- lish department pointed out that the implicit theses of "The Gentle Peo- ple" were the triumph of the meek, which "makes us feel so good that, it may well prove energizing to the meek," and the "implied moral in the brotherhood as 'gentle people' of the old Greek and the old Jew. No themes could be more signifi- cant today," he said. "This drama offers a wealth of interesting parts for the actors,'' Professor Rowe asserted, "the part of Jonah being one of the most ap- pealing in recent theatre history." Herbert London, '43E, will portray the role of Jonah in the Hillel pro- duction and Roy T. Rector, '40Ed, who recently starred as "Hedy La- Tour" in the Union Opera, will play, the part of the old Greek, Philip Anagnos, his constant companion. The other starring roles will be played by Norman Oxhandler, '41, a veteran of Play Production, who will take the part of Goff, and Joan Sack, '42, Jonah's daughter, Stella. Tickets for both today's and to- morrow's performances are still available at the box-office, Zelda Davis, '40, ticket chairman, an- nounced. 22 Ministers Are Named As French Crisis Ends; Daladier Defense Chief Inner Committee To Set War Policy PARIS, March 21. -(P)- The quickly-created Paul Reynaud "Push The War" cabinet of France headed immediately into trouble tonight. With some doubtful head-shaking in French Parliamentary quarters as to its chances of survival. Acting rapidly to suit the demand that France be spared a lengthy per- iod without a government, Reynaud, Finance Minister in Edouard Dala- dier's regime, put an end to the original cabinet crisis in a single day but fell short of satisfying the whole cross-section of French political opinion. Is Not All-Party It was neither a small, compact government Reynaud produced nor a complete national union govern- ment to take in all parties from Right to Left. The new cabinet has 22 ministers -three more than the Daladier gov- ernment which resigned yesterday, and two powerful Rightist groups are not cooperating. Much of the Parliamentary furore that brought on the fall of the Dala- dier government was for a small, wieldly cabinet. A possible sop to this demand was Reynaud's creation withn the cab- inet of a "war committee" made up of himself, Camille, Chautemps, who retains the vice-premiership he held in the previous cabinet; Ex-Premier Edouard Daladier, who remains as Minister of National Defense; Geor- ges Mandel, new Minister of Colo- nies; Lucien Lamoureux, new Minis- ter of Finance; and Raoul Dautry, Armaments Minister. Dautry's name was added to the committee late today. Daladier Group Out This inner cabinet would meet several times a week. The most mystifying development was a decision by Daladier's Radical Socialist Party, which has seven min- isters in the new cabinet, to hold its attitude in reserve pending action by the Reynaud government. In other words, the party which the previous night had issued r statement saying Daladier had its. confidence "more now than ever" is not ready to pledge its unqualified vote to the governmnt that sup- planted Daladier's. Reynaud and his cabinet will hold their first formal ministerial council with President Albert Lebrun tomor- row morning and appear before the chamber in the afternoon. The atmosphere is then expected to be clarified and the new combina- tion will learn publicly how it stands. Rightists Displeased The Rightist groups displeased with the Reynaud cabinet-Ex-Pre- mier Etienne Flandin's Republican Alliance, and Louis Marin's Rightist Republican Federation - asserted that it is not a "true war cabinet" as demanded by critics. Daladier's decision to remain in the government as National Defense Minister was made after close friends had said he felt he needed a rest. However, he will get little rest in his old role at the War Ministry, and if the Reynaud government fails to last, there are strong chances that President Lebrun will ask him to reconsider and attempt to form a new government of his own.

"Their hands," he explained, however, "are not marked until marriage." "Loi women probably weave the best tapestries in the world," Smith asserted, "spending seven hours a day seven days a week for more than six months until one is completed, each girl requiring three of these before marriage. " Danchu men, according to Mr.f Smith, are the most henpecked hus- bands in the world and are assignedI by their wives to do all house work, take care of the babies, etc., while the members of the "weaker sex" do the fishing, hunting and fighting. The explorer commented that his in- terpreter, on numerous occasions,, asked him whether or not he was a Danchu. Among the interesting characters he described was an old man who, not having enough money to buy a wife for his son. attacked and kiled Sale Of 'Gar g' To Start Today' Photocrime And Activities Included In Issue Investigation of campus activities will be carried on in the March issue of the Gargoyle, to be issued today, and not, as was incorrectly stated in The Daily, yesterday. The campus activities angle, Ellis Wunsch, said would illustrate the fact that the Gargoyle, does after all, possess a conscience. Another notable feature of the is- sue will be a photocrime worked out by the magazine's staff, with a des- cription of the method in which sev-I eral University moguls abscond with the carillon tower.

Farley's active candidacy for the Presidency, Secretary Ickes, a down- the-line Third Term advocate, said today that no candidate, now in the running could control enough dele- gates to capture the Democratic nomination. Ickes mentioned Farley, Vice- President Garner and Paul V. Mc- Nutt, the Social Security Adminis- trator. Asked at a press conference whether the Democratic Convention might draft the Chief Executive, Ickes replied: "You might want a girl to marry, you, but that is no assurance she would have you." Ickes said that Farley "is a fine man" and that every citizen had the right to announce for President.

The chamber approved, one after another, increases its appropriations committee had made in the house bill. To the unusual accompaniment of a unanimous roll call vote, it endorsed $85,000,000 for the remov- al of farm surpluses through distri- bution to the needy and through export subsidies. It also voted to direct the RFC to make $40,000,000 of loans to the Rural Electrification Administration, and approved a provision for $50,- 000,000 in loans to help farm tenants acquire farms of their own.
