At least nine per¬sons have been killed and three scorewounded in disorders.Leftists and radicals won a majori¬ty in the new parliament.New CabinetThe Azana cabinet will includemainly Left Republicans and membersof the Republican Union with the pos¬sibility of one representative fromCatalonia. Although Socialists polledthe largest number of seats among theleftists, no Socialists, Communists orSyndicalists are expected to be in¬cluded in the cabinet. 'This is in ac¬cordance with a pre-election agree¬ment by leftist parties, stipulatingthat if they were victorious. Republi¬can parties would do the governingregardless of the numerical strengthof the proletariat groups.Meanwhile, the government adoptedvarious precautionary measures, in¬cluding a close watch on suspectedmilitarists, in an effort to preventfurther bloodshed after it had heardthat certain military leaders con¬ferred secretly.The highway leading to CuatroVientos military airdrome was heavilypatrolled, with guards stopping andsearching ail automobiles.Nine KilledMADRID, Feb. 18—(UP)—Nine|u*rsons had been killed and 66 wound¬ed up to 10 o’clock tonight in fightingattending the riotous general electionof Sunday in which leh wing radicalswere triumphant.Five were killed and 32 woundedduring the voting.

Brown, New York ex¬porter’s agent and admittedly the“pay-off” man for the group sup¬posedly aiding the revolutionists, test¬ified that the “record makes it ap¬pear” that some members of the gun¬purchasing ring pocketed fat com¬missions built up through fictitious in¬voices.On one occasion. Brown said hepaid out $49,000 for 100 machine gunswhich the U. S. army had sold as junkfor $350.“I was disgusted with the wholebusiness,” said Brown, who admittedhe adopted the alias of "Harry K.Smith” during the negotiations.Under instructions from friends ofthe revolutionists in Argentina,Brown was in charge of the fund andLeigh Wade, former U. S. armyround-the-world flier, was appointedto select the materials to be shippedthe Sao Paulo (rebel) governmentin Brazil.“Nobody know where the materialwas after it had been purchased,”Brown said. “Nobody seemed to carehow much it cost or what condition itwas in.” Goebbels CensorsChurch NewspapersBERLIN, Feb. 18.—(UP)—Theindependence of both Catholic andProtestant church papers was abol¬ished today by decree of Joseph Goeb-bel.s, minister of propaganda, regard¬less of the concordat guaranteeing thefreedom of publications under aus¬pices of the Catholic clergy.This means that the editors’ lawgoverning the Nazi-controlled laypress is now applicable to all papersexcept those publishing only officialchurch announcements.Goebbels’ decree said the measurewas necessary because the churchpapers misused their freedom by dis¬cussing politics and abusively com¬menting on government measures.Under the editors’ law, editors ofchurch papers in the future must be“Aryans pledged unreservedly to sup¬port government measures.” This reg¬ulation, it was believed, would restrictfurther church facilities to combatNazi religious propaganda.War VeteransLead RevoltParaguayan Army Over¬throws GovernmentSwift Coup. inASUNCION, Paraguay, Feb. 18—(UP)—In a swift and near-bloodlesscoup, Paraguayan military forces to¬day overthrew the government ofPresident Eusebio Ayala and tonightw'ere in complete control.The revolt w’as led by discontentedveterans of the Chaco war who claimthey were betrayed by political lead¬ers who negotiated peace terms withthe Bolivian government at a timew hen Paraguay was definitely winningthe war.Revolutionary chiefs met to form atemporary government. They an¬nounced that President Ayala, w'hotook refuge on a gunboat in the Para¬guay river, handed them his uncon¬ditional resignation.Foreign Minister Luis Riart wasunder arrest, and it was reported thatGeneral Jo.se Felix Estigarribia, com-mander-in-chief of the Paraguayanarmy during the Chaco war, was heldas a precaution.Casualties SmallCa.sualties were'not announced butthe number is expected to be smallas the Ayala government moved outalmost without resistance. The revo¬lutionists did not u.se rifles and ma¬chine guns but fired mortars at thewar and navy offices.Colonel Rafael Franco, Paraguayanhero of the Chaco war who was de¬ported to Argentina two weeks ago,was expected to fly to Asuncion to¬night from Buenos Aires to head thenew government. Franco was directorof the military school when he wasdeported after the government learnedof plans for a revolt.The revolutionary chiefs announcedthat complete calm prevailed through¬out the country. There were no out¬ward signs of disturbances or di.scon-tent in Asuncion. Business houses re¬opened and good natured crowdsswarmed the streets.The revolutionists said electionswill be held as soon as possible.

Sees Need ofForeign Tradefor RecoveryGideonse Brands BusinessGroup as Menace toAmerican Individualism.“The restoration of foreign tradeis the key to recovery under a systemof free enterprise” declared HarryD. Gideonse, associate professor ofEconomics last night before the Chi¬cago Association of Credit Managersand the Export Managers’ club attheir meeting in the LaSalle hotel.His title was “World Ti'ade as theKey to World Recovery.”“The Supreme court,” he stated“has recently disposed of the AAAwhich was intended as a political rem¬edy for the farm problem. The ma¬jority in the Court holds agricultureto be a local issue. Now the funda¬mental cause of our farm problem isnot overproduction, but the destruc¬tion of the export market for agri¬culture—and the export market wasdestroyed by federal power which wasused to build up a protective homemarket for manufacturing at the ex¬pense of the export market for agri¬culture.No Remedy“The states as such can obviouslynot remedy the damage done by theconstitutional use of federal power.Intelligent conservatism therefore de¬mands vigorous effort to undo theharm done by federal power, and ifsuch intelligent conservatism is notforthcoming because of partisan at¬titudes or vested interests, then thereis as great a degree of certainty ascan exist in any social situation, thateconomic distress in the farm stateswill press on toward further experi¬mentation with devices alien to theAmerican tradition of free enterprise.“In general our foreign trade hasshrunk more than our domestictrade, and it has recoverd less ofthe lost territory since revival hasset in,” he continued. “Then factsreveal clearly where our Americaneconomic structure is most seriouslyundermined. Trade barriers have des¬troyed markets—and basically thisdestruction of markets is the causefor the wide acceptance of all sorts ofpolitical quackery.“Fundamentally, the most seriousmenace to the American system ofindividualism and freedom of enter¬prise does not lie in the Huey Longs,Coughlins, and Townsends.

She was small and dark,and her face seemed angular.While she ordered tea and schnecen, Dave Eisendrath, camera in hanclimbed up onto the counter, peepithrough his sights, flashed his bulThen you people began to get quietso she moved to the upright pianowhere Connor Laird held the micro¬phone while she accompanied herselfto “Truckin’.”Most of you could only hear herthrough the amplifier so you couldn’tsee how she keeps her hands closedown on the keys, or how'she swingsher shoulders as she sings.

KELLEYCountless legends have arisenaround the figure of George Washing¬ton, but it took Phoenix and theWashington Prom to have him a highschool classmate of Jay Berwangerand tell his story for the readers ofthe campus humor magazine whichappears today.Even though this article is featuredthe magazine has enough variety topresent a good issue. If anything isoverworked it is the rushing theme,done lightly and ironically especiallyin “Brothers in N. G. S.” in epistol¬ary style, and treated also in “Confi¬dentially” and in “Fragile, Marked‘Rush’.”Back to the Washington Prom orrather starting with it, is the cover,the best to appear on the magazinethis year. It is a well executed im¬pression of the music goes round andround with a figure representing Ben¬ny Goodman blowing in the middle.ArticlesProbably the most cleverly written,though not the best in content, is thearticle “Hold the Mirror Up to Na¬ture” which as the name implies hasto do with the Mirror Revue not sofar off. Little can be said about the“delightful drivel” by Ernest Mar¬tin called “Bin and Jitters.” “HaveYou a Little Cherub in Your Home?”turns out to be a statistical study,in the Phoenix manner, of the Ori¬ental institute, the cherub in the titlereferring to none other than the colos¬sal bull on display there.In the line of regular columns, itwould seem that the editor in “InkPot Pourri” is competing with Gertiethe Go-getter in including names inhis column, but Gertie has the edgeboth in number and the dirt dished.Greenebaum reviews the current rec¬ords, making special mention of the“swing” recordings of Goodman in hisusual “Wax and Wave” article.Houses Save $650Through Co-operativePurchasing AgencySavings to fraternities resultingfrom the functions of the FraternityCo-operative Purchasing agency weremore than $650 for the first six weeksof the quarter, it was stated yester¬day by Everett George, director ofthe organization.Largest individual saving was inlaundry service where the houses paidalmost half as much as they wouldhave if they had secured the serviceindependently. Other items on whichsubstantial amounts were saved werefruit and vegetables, groceries, meat,and coal. The gross amount takinginto account all these items was $803.-70 before the cost of the service,approximately $126, was deducted.Interesting facts regarding theagency are that the twelve housesparticipating spent $2,844.36 formeat, butter, and eggs and $791.52 onfruit and vegetables. Plans for car¬rying on the work of the agency nextyear are being formulated, and it ispossible that the services of the or¬ganization may be extended in thenear future to include a professionaldietician who will be at the disposal ofthe fraternities. lap and GownOpens BeautyContest TodayFrederic March ChoosesWinners; Have SpecialSection in Annual.For the first time in history therewill be a “Campus Beauties” sectionin the Cap and Gown.

The groupwill meet in the Reynolds club at 3:30.It is expected that Fraternity rep¬resentatives will at least make pre¬liminary reports regarding names ofhigh school leaders that they havebeen collecting during the past fewweeks. The real work of the Lead¬ers group will not be able to get un¬der way until a list of prospectiveUniversity freshmen has been com¬pleted.No organized activities are goingto be held on campus this quarter.However, individual fraternities orclubs may entertain high school sen¬iors.

He said his rashthreat to kick the radio priest fromthe Capitol to the White House w’a.snot in keeping with the dignity of theHouse and he regretted having spok¬en so hastily to the press.Then for 30^ minutes he ripped intoCoughlin’s political activities, callingon the priest either to -abandon thiswork or his clerical garb.The Frazier-Lemke bill jirovokedthe attack on Father Coughlin today.Speaking for his National Union forSocial Justice over the air Sunday, thepriest bitterly assailed O’Connor andBoland as responsible for keeping theinflationary mea.sure off the floor.

I doknow that in this, one of our greatestcultural centers, superficiality is nau-seatingly present. I say “nauseating-iv" with reference to my own reac¬tion; most of the ears or tongues onthis campus are inured to the defectof which I complain.This affectation grows in every-a pseudo-sophisticateddormitory dinner table discussion, inu popularity-seeking lecturer’s re¬marks, at a fraternity rushing func¬tion. Even in the greetings betweenpassing acquaintances, vain sobrietyand dignity are often affected, insteadof natural or well-trained salutation.riu-re are many objections to super-ticiality. As a personal habit, itthwarts the purpose of liberal edu¬cation. Superficiality and insincerityavoid truth and defend ignorance.Furthermore, they are not even in therealm of good manners. At least,authorities condemn false airs andinsincerity. The fact that shallownessout-twines the ivy among these intel¬lectual halls is a sign of the poortraining of much of the student bodyand faculty.This unfortunate characteristic isnot directly traceable to a singleclass. One might look to fraternitymen as the chief exponents, but theyare not wor.se than the others. Theysimply are more confident or dogma¬tic in their superficiality. Nor, so¬cially. are the Jews to be directlyblamed for this illness. Other stu¬dents may be just as assertive intheir ignorance, or as flighty in theirindifference.Thus to incriminate superficialitydoes not imply its primary positionas a public enemy. There are so manypublic enemies that we need someoneto tell us where to start opposingthem. Perhaps it is wise to increaseour sincerity and depth of purposebefore trying effectively to improveOr to reform our system.(’an we rid ourselves of superficial¬ity by thought? Does an editorialhave enough influence to stir up an-tagoni.sm against the prestige of shal¬lowness? Or is superficiality a neces¬sary concomitant of urban life? Ifthe latter, is our society facing de¬cline?If, Shallowness, you must continueunabated, may you, at least, scornnot the paths of the few who seek trueknowledge.(This editorial is left unsigned sothat the living problem may be con¬sidered without reference to whostates it.

During the period when theUniversity was being conceived as thefuture “Harvard of the West,’’ one ofthe preliminary tasks of the trusteesof the institution was to raise one mil¬lion dollars in 90 days. The first gift,“.setting the pace’’ as the Chicagonewspapers of the day declared, was$150,000 presented by Sidney A. Kent,president of the Corn Exchange bankand a director of the Board of Trade.Kent designated the gift for use inbuilding a chemical laboratory.Plans for the new building were im¬mediately draw’n by Henry Ives Cobbafter a conference with Professor IraRem.sen of John Hopkins university.The laboratory was formally dedi¬cated at the fifth convocation on Jan¬uary 1, 1894.In making his donation to the Uni¬versity, Kent expres.sed the hope that“the .standard of education will besuch as to command the respect notonly of this country but of the entireworld.’’ President William RaineyHarper in accepting the gift on behalfof the University stated that Kentlaboratory had set the highest stand¬ard for all future laboratories of theUniversity. The building co.st $215,000with equipment valued at $20,000.Used Hall for ConvocationMuch of the history of the labora¬tory has centered around the Kentlecture room, 106, known to the stu¬dent body of 1894 as Kent theater.Until the erection of Leon Mandel hallin 1902, the theater was the largestmeeting room within the quadrangles,.seating 560 person.s. For many yearsall convocations, religious .services,and student meetings were held there.A curtain hung across the proscen¬ium arch at the front of the roomwith the stage extending back .severalSees InternationalAmity Promoted byStudent ContactsA vision of increased internationalunderstanding resulting from the fur¬therance of contacts between studentsof the various nations was presentedin realistic terms to a small groupof foreign students at a tea at In¬ternational House yesterday after¬noon by Anne Wiggin, a member ofthe International Students’ commit¬tee.The International Students’ com¬mittee, Miss Wiggin explained, wasorganized to serve as a sort of clear¬ing house of information for foreignwomen students coming to (his coun¬try, and for American women stu¬dents going to alien lands. Studentsare provided with letters of introduc¬tion which often serve as a basis forextensive social contacts.The committee now operates fromits headquarters at 600 LexingtonAvenue, New York City. Miss Wig¬gin said that plans already under wayare hoped to result in the formationof additional committees in Chicagoand on the Pacific coast.Co-operathig with the committeeare the International Houses in NewYork, Chicago, and Berkeley, Califor¬nia. At the New York House a num¬ber of .socihl functions for foreignstudents are sponsored annually.One of the enterprises sponsored bythe committee is a tour in Europeevery summer, on which a compara¬tively small group of American col¬lege women are privileged to see theaccustomed sights from an intimatepoint of view, stopping at homes andsmall lodging places instead of thelarge hotels.Miss Wiggin concluded by tellingher audience, which included studentsfrom England, China, Albania, Cana¬da, Germany, and Chile, some of themore seamy adventures which haveoccurred on these tours. feet. The solid wall and blackboardsnow' back of the arch were addedyears later when the theater became alecture hall.Honorary DegreesWhile celebrating Independenceday, 1898, in Kent theater the studentbody received w’ord of the battle ofSantiago. At a special convocationon October 17 of that year. PresidentWilliam McKinley was awarded anhonorary degree of Doctor of Lawsby Dean Harry P. Judson. Here, too,Pre.sident Theodore Roosevelt receivedthe degree of LL.D.By 1900 the Kent theater wouldseat neither one-third of the studentbody nor the members of the facultyand their families.In the basement of Kent in a roomnow' used as a storeroom. ProfessorWilliam D. Harkins carried out manyof his famous experiments on theisotopes of chlorine. Becau.se of theextremely high temperatures main¬tained while the work was being car¬ried on, the room came to be called“Hell’s Half-Acres’’.Another famous place is the “cave”,a subterranean room under Kentw’here behind fireproof walls anddoors, acids and dangerous explosivesare stored.
