Book Store To Pay Rebate On Pre-July Purchases
Starting Wednesday, the Union book store will continue to repay rebates on purchases made before July 1, 1949, L. E.Woolley manager announced.
Since the book store is a non-profit organization, receipts handed out in the book store are redeemable at 15 per cent of face value after
rebate covered the period from Dec. 31, 1948 to July 1, 1949. Salmon-colored slips were used for this period while white, pink, yellow, and green slips were used for the previous periods. Any of these slips are still redeemable.
All rebate slips discarded on the floor of the book store are turned in for cash refund. With this money the Union will buy a hand-made Bible for Danforth chapel, more radios for Watkins hospital, and two more student scholarships, Mr. Woolley said.
Green-colored receipts given with purchases since July 1, 1949 will be good for rebate beginning Dec. 31, 1949. Each receipt color is good for five years, however, after that period the color is no longer valid and is dropped. A new color is then added to keep the receipts separated by periods, to take care of any change in rebate percentage, and to make bookkeeping easier.
The Union book store will also start buying used books on Wednesday, Mr. Woolley said. The rush season has made it impossible for employees to accept used books before that time. Mr. Woolley said that sales were heavier each day during enrollment than during any previous period. Sales on Sept. 16 were heavier than any day since the store opened, he added.
Chinese Ex-Envoy Shot In Hong Kong
Hong Kong, Sept. 20—(U.P.) Former Chinese ambassador to Moscow Yang Chieh was assassinated in his apartment here today by someone who gained admission through a ruse.
The aged envoy, who allegedly helped engineer the recent Kunming coup whereby warlord Gov Lu Han of Yunnan province obtained concessions from the Nationalist government, was found seated upright on his veranda with two bullet holes in his head.
Police rushed to he apartment but the assassin escaped.
The assassin gained entry to the apartment on the pretex that he carried a message from Lu, Yang reportedly was en route to Peiping from Kunming to participate in the forthcoming Communist conference which is expected to announce formation of a formal government for Communist China.
Yang served as envoy to Moscow during the early days of the Chinese-Japanese war. He allegedly helped Lu obtain concessions from Generalissimoli Chiang Kai-shek on threat of taking Yunnan province into the communist camp.
Quits Colt Office To Become Coach
Walter Driskill, who got himself a job in the Baltimore Colts front office because he didn't like coaching today took over as the Colts coach.
Now president of the all American conference professional team, Driskill was selected to direct the Colts for the remainder of this season after Coach Cecil Isbell resigned Monday. Isbell said he was leaving "for the good of the team" after three straight defeats this season.
The veteran of navy service has never before had a head coaching job, either college or professional. He is a University of Colorado graduate and served his alma mater as assistant football coach from 1936 to 1941. He also served as an aide at Wyoming, Oklahoma and Maryland and also as athletic director at Maryland.
Prague, Czechoslovakia, Sept. 2.
—(U.P.)—Hundreds of persons, both Catholic and Communist, have been arrested in a two-way campaign against the church and "traitors" within the Communist ranks, it was reported today.
Reds Open New Czech Purge
Reliable church sources reported the arrest of more than 30 Catholic lay leaders and 200 priests in Bohemia and Moravia alone. The crackdown was described as part of the Communist government campaign to take complete control of the church.
Reports circulated in Prague that "hundreds" of Communists had been rounded up in recent weeks. Among them were said to be high ranking party members.
The reports wholly lacked confirma- tion in authoritative quarters, and their origin could not be pinned down.
The Communist newspaper Rude Pravo today warned Czechoslovak with "Titoist ideas" that "The anger of our people will weed them out without mercy."
The government, coincident with the reported arrests, charged that the Vatican supported spies in Czechoslovakia. It was the first time in the months-long struggle between the church and the state that such a grave charge had been made.
The press warning to errant Czech Communists was coupled with an official news agency account of the Budapest treason trial.
Lazar Brankov, former Yugoslav charge d'affaires, was quoted as saying that "Titoist-American" espionage in Czechoslovakia was "even better than in Hungary."
Informed sources said they believed the government could not ignore the Brankov testimony. They expected a trial would be held here, with Marshall Tito of Yugoslavia, the United States and the Vatican accused of backing the defendants.
Two men visited several stores on Saturday night. Claiming they had escaped from the ship. They then made trifling purchases from the sympathetic merchants and made payments with counterfeit American $20 bills.
Toronto, Ont., Sept. 20—(U.P.)—A gang of counterfeiters, whose members have flooded Toronto with bogus American money in recent weeks, took advantage of the Noronic tragedy, police revealed today.

Canada Cuts Dollar Value By 10 Percent
London. Sept. 20—(U.P.)—Devaluation of the British pound caused currencies to drop today in the North American dollar area and behind the iron curtain.
Canada devalued the Canadian dollar 10 percent, making the American dollar worth $1.10 in Canadian money. Czechoslovakia dropped the Czech crown 30 per cent in relation to the pound but kept her dollar rate unchanged at 50 crowns to $1.
Twenty-one countries at the latest count either had devalued, revalued or adjusted their currencies in some degree in the wake of Britain's action in cheapening the pound from $4.03 to $2.80.
France placed the franc on the free market to seek its own level in the drastic reshuffling of world currencies. The government estimated it would stabilize at about 350 to $1 compared to the present 330.
Following Britain in devaluing their currencies were Australia, Burma, Canada, Ceylon, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Egypt, Finland, France, Iceland, India, Ireland, Israel, Japan, Malaya, The Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Siam, South Africa and Sweden.
Some countries, such as Czechoslovakia, Japan and Siam, devalued their currencies only in relation to the pound. These countries made no changes in the rate of exchange between their currencies and the U.S. dollar.
Standing out against the avalanche of devaluation was tiny Switzerland, with one of the few firm currencies in the world. The Swiss government announced last night it had no plans to devalue the Swiss franc.
In London stock market prices soared today in the wake of devaluation, and Prime Minister Clement R. Attlee prepared to reconvene parliament to weigh the politico-economic crisis his Laborite government faced.

Axton Ouster Trial Moves To Topeka
The Parsons portion of the case was completed with final defense testimony before J. G. Somers, special commissioner who will report to the Kansas supreme court on the hearing.
Parsons, Kan., Sept. 20—(U.P.) Final arguments in the state ouster action against Vernon C. Axton, suspended Parsons mayor will be heard in Topeka in "two or three weeks." No date for a decision in the case was offered Monday as the Parsons phase of the case ended.

Evidence of bribes was presented at the trial, but Axton was not directly implicated in the testimony concerning pay-offs for permission to operate slot machines.
