Trans-Jordan Is Attacked in UN NEW YORK, Aug. 14-(I)-Pol- and demanded today that Transjor- 20 League Houses Cut From List Rent Raises Slated For Other Units Only seventy league houses will be available to women students this fall partly because of the University building program which has neces- sitated the demolition of several houses, Mary C. Bromage, assistant dean of women in charge of sup- plementary housing has revealed. An added factor in the reduction of seventy as against last semester's listing of ninety supplementaryhous- ing units for women has been the return of a number of fraternity houses to their owners, Dean Bromage said. Schedule Rent Raise A rent raise is scheduled for most of the seventy league houses with the opening of the fall semester. The rent boost, she explained, is based on the increased length of the semester from 17 to 21 weeks in ac- cordance with the University's re- turn to a peace-time schedule. "League house prices and standards are set by the Office of the Dean of Women," she said, pointing out that the University has a ,rent ceiling which it maintains with or without the assistance of the OPA. Open Houses Inspected Representatives from her office make regular inspections of all league houses, she emphasized, accompanied by a sanitarian from the Health Service. The Office of the Dean of Women includes not only league houses in its list of supplementary housing but sorority annexes, graduate houses, and Inter-Cooperative Council hous- ing rooms in the League and in private homes where students pay or work for their rooms, she explained. Expand League Accomodations This fall they plan to room 25 girls in League where they only plac- ed 20 last year. The office has acquired a dormi- tory across' from the West Lodge .ommunity Center which will.1old only women veterans.

Nations Line Up Over Western Thrace Dispute Hungary Pleads For Lenient Peace Terms By The Associated Press PARIS, Aug. 14-Bulgaria appealed to the 21-nation peace conference today for the return of western Thrace fromGreece, and drew a stinging reply, from, the Greeks branding her as a criminaL nation for whom the proposed treaty draft al- ready was too lenient. The Ukranian Soviet Republic im- mediately supported #ulgaria's claim to the territory ceded to Greece after World War I, and charged that Greek' policy was "instigated from abroad." Poland's delegate declared Bulgaria deserves an "indulgent peace." Both Hungary and Bulgaria pre- sented their cases. Like Italy and Romania before them, each asked for leniency and each protested it had not aided the Nazi war ma- chine to the extent the Germans had demanded. Janos Gyongyosi, Hungarian min- ister of foreign affairs, admitted his nation had "turned against the just cause of all peoples" in the war, but he pleaded for reparations penalties which would strike a balance between Hungary's current economic burdens and her capacity to pay. Hungary's spokesman also declared his nation "cannot consider" that the award by the foreign ministers council of Transylvania to Romania "constitutes a definite solution," and he assailed Czechoslovakia's expul- sion. of .650 Humigarians living in Slovakia." When he finished, Foreign Minister Jan Masaryk of Czechoslovakia de- clared that "after the astonishing and unprecedented declaration Qf the Hungarian delegation, the Czecho- slovakian delegation wants to study it and will reply tomorrow morning." U.S. Secretary of State Byrnes, who will relinquish the chairman- ship of the conference tomorrow, announced that following the de- bate on the Hungarian statement, the Finnish delegation, last of the five satellite states to appear, would present its case. Not only did Bulgaria call for the return of western Thrace, a narrow strip along the northern Aegean coast giving Greece a common fron- tier with Turkey, but she also as- sailed the Greek claims for a slice of her southern frontier regions. Bulgarian Foreign Minister George Koulishev declared that Greek claims encompassed a tenth of Bulgaria's territory where there was "not one Greek village." Stung by these demands, Prem- ier Constantin Tsaldaris, chief of the Greek delegation, accused the Bul- gars of "horrors" during their oc- cupation of Greece for the Germans, Britain Rejects Soviet Proposal For Dardanelles LONDON, Aug. 14-(,)-Britain, striving to maintain her position in the rich and strategic Middle East, is rejecting a Soviet proposal which would bar her warships from the Dardanelles, and an Iranian protest against presence of her troops in Iraq, authoritative informants de- clared today. A high government source said a British note already had been dis- patched to Iran refuting the protest that presence of British Indian troops at Basra, across the border from the troubled Anglo-Iranian oilfields, en- dangered Iran's sovereignty. Unofficial quarters here specul- ated that the action might mean re- ferral of the question by Iran to the United Nations. A foreign Office spokesman said Britain would reject a Russian pro- posal that only Black Sea powers control the Dardanelles.
