Yale University Students in Near Riot After Browder Speaks
New Haven, Comm. Nov. 28—(UP) Yale University students and “townies” joined forces tonight in an effort to overturn an automobile containing Earl Browder, Communist party general secretary, after he had made a speech in a campus building despite opposition of veterans’ organizations and refusal of other universities to permit his appearance on their grounds.
Young men crowded the automobile as Browder was being driven away from Strathcona hall, where he had addressed an audience of 600 persons, mostly students, some of whom showed him with pennies and interrupted his speech with guffaws and booos.

"Turn it over!" some of the crowd shouted as Browder entered the automobile. The car was rocked
In the audience, which Browder addressed under the auspices of the Yale Peace Council, was district commander Arthur Dalley of the New Haven Council, American Legion, who opposed, Browder's appearance but cautioned Legionnaires against violence.
Browder entered the hall by a back entrance because 3,000 persons jammed the two front entrances. As he spoke the crowd outside raised a bedlam, shouting "viva Hitter!" and "go back to Moscow" The Com-

Browder gave a hint of his defense when he said: "As for the charge that I traveled, years ago, under pseudonyms, it will really be interesting when it is disclosed how many highly respected having any action taken against them;

Five Children Survive
Among the survivors are his wife and five children: Mrs. Thomas L Daw and John Edwin Naismith of Bellevue, B Sharyn P Boole, Colo., Mrs. L. H. Dodd of St. Louis, and James Sherman Naismith of Dallas.
Doctor Naisimith had been actively connected with the University's department of athletics for 40 years, having begun his duties here in 1898. He resigned from full-time teaching duties in June, 1937.
Began Duties in 1898
Doctor Naismith died early yesterday morning at his home on University Drive, after having been suddenly struck with a cerebral hemorrhage November 19.
"The youth of the world has lost a great benefactor in Dr. James Naismith, the father of basketball." Dr. F. C. Allen, chairman of the department of physical education and basketball coach, said yesterday.
'He Loved Youth'
"Eighteen million young men all over the world are playing his game of basketball which he originated for 18 troublesome young men in a class in Springfield. Mass., Y.M.C.A. college in 1891."
"He loved youth. He and Alonzo Stagg worked together chose the profession of physical education over the ministry, in which they were ordained, because they could demeal for youth, they thought. The youth of the world will arise and call Doctor Naismith blessed."
Chancellor Deane W. Malot易 yesterday made the following statement on the work and influence of Doctor Naismith:
"In behalf of the University of Kansas, I express sorrow at the death of Dr. James Naismith, professor emeritus of physical education. Not only the University and the state of Kansas, but the United States and many nations of the world as well, will feel the loss of this man who set high standards of personal clean living and was able to infuse these same standards into the lives of hundreds of young men. His contribution to the athletic world of the game of basketball will leave a mark that even cannot erase." A.B. From McGill
Doctor Naimith was the possessor of three degrees. He received an A.B. degree from McGill University in Montreal in 1887, in 1891 he received his master of physical education degree from X'MCA. college in Springfield, Missouri and earned his degree of medicine from his University of Colorado.
Doctor Nalshim married Miss Maude E. Sherman of Springfield, Mass. in 1894. Three daughters and two sons were born to her. Mrs. Nalshim and in March, 1897.

this spring. Doctor Naumish and Mrs. Florence Kineaid, for many years a housemother for Sigma Phi Epsilon featernity, were married.
Mrs. Lawson Unchanged
Mrs. Paul B. Lawson, wife of Dean Lawson of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, who is seriously ill at the Lawrence Medical hospital, resting "resting" last night. There was apparently no change, it was said.
Basketball's Father Passes Away---faked a suicide and had then fled to Sumatra. The rumor grew until now it is a full-fledged legend. Many persons today believe that Kreuger is hiding and will someday return to put his affairs in shape. There was even a book written, "Kreuger Comes Back." (The book was banned in the years prior by the government which is trying to suppress the legend.)
The University of Kansas was one of its most beloved professors Monday when Dr. James Nelsen sanked. His game of basketball, which he played in a 3-on-3 game against an opposing team, went into overtime.
Student Recalls Swedish Financial Crisis of 1932
Seven years ago in Paris the blast of a man's suicide gun rebounded and burst like a star rocket throughout the entire financial world. The Stockholm stock exchange closed its doors — Industrial and Privat bank of Berlin failed — the International Monetary Fund carried all — because of this one man.
The name of the man who made the bang in Paris probably won't make much difference to most University students, but one student rememberes that it was Ivar Kreuger, the Swedish match king. That student is Ingrid Freedius, Swedish exchange scholar.
She remembers the night of Kreuger's death; how Stockholm was plattered with handballs; how the news could not wait for headlines and how many were the innocent victims of this man.
Have reigned all over the world—Kreuger company directors were jailed; rich families lost their entire wealth in a few hours; one important company after another failed Her father, a Stockholm broker in iron and copper, luckily was not involved, who had been sacked on the security of Kreuger suddenly found their sails sank wind.
The fact that Ivar Kreuger has been named as one of the 15 men responsible for the collapse of our economic civilization would give him a import of that Paris pumphit heard around the world in March of 1923.
Not long after the suicide a ru-
mer spread over the country that
Kreager did not kill himself but
From the foregoing, at least two items of interest may be drawn. Using the legend about Kreuger as his material, Ayn Rand wrote "Night of January 1603", an unusual murder trial play, which to be presented Dec. 12 by the Dramatic Circ. The second item is that Ingrid Freestad, a Shakespearean character, time of Kreuger's suicide and who knew intimately the results and the legend--has a role in the play taken from that legend.
In this play, the beautiful secretary of the murdered Bjorn Faulkner is on trial for her life. As written, the evidence for and against the woman is evenly balanced. A jury will be picked from the audience, who will sit on stage, listen to the evidence and submit a verdict near the end of the play. The jury will read "Night of January 10th" will then be given, dependent upon the verdict.
Faulkner represented Kreuger. The evidence presented by the two attorneys and the various witnesses throughout the courtroom scenes of the play is supposedly representative of the life of Kreuger.
Classes Meet This Morning Despite Rumors to Contrary
The increasing spread of rumors that classes would not be held this morning caused the Chancellor's office yesterday to state emphatically that Thanksgiving vacation begins at noon today.
The University of Kansas com-
prises nine schools, nine divisions and 40 departments.
Miss Elizabeth Rupp, a secretary to Chancellor Malott, announced the administration's denial of the rumors. She said, "Classes definitely will meet this deadline to respond all reports to the contrary."
No Trace Found Of $2,400 Coat Stolen Saturday

The girl, a G. C. Woodward of Cincinnati, Ohio, and a visitor named Ballard of St. Joseph, Mo., were stolen from the telephone booth at the same time.
Turkey in Topeka For Young GOP's
★ Nina Students Represent Counties as Delegates to State Convention
Nine students from the University will spend two days of their Thanksgiving vacation in Topeka as delegates to the state Young Republic convention to be held there Friday and Saturday, Wilbur Limon, 142 state chairman of the college organization, announced last night.
The students who will represent their countries as delegates at the convention are: Greta Gibson, fa41 John Somems, c'42 John Crouch, 141 Velma Wilson, c'40 John Brookens, 141 Charles Hennall, c'42 Addison West, c'41 Reginald Buxton, c'40 and Ker Leerwittehwa, c'39.
Many students other than those attending an official delegates will attend the convention giving the Young Republican Club here a large representation, Leonard said. It will fall to the college Republicans, he added, to present what will probably be the major issue of the convention, that of a proposal whereby college young Republican clubs would be given representation, and to present, college clubs have no official delegations, representation being based solely upon a county delegation.
The proposed amendment to the young Republican constitution would apply to 21 educational institutions and would bring representation to over 24,000 college students, 35 per cent of them are of voting age Leonard said.
The state college organization was formed three years ago, and is the only state-wide college political organization in the United States.

Miss Zipple Recovers Following Appendectomy
Miss Hermina Zipple, director of the Memorial Union building, who recently underwent an appertender at the Lawrence Memorial hospital was said to be recovering satisfactorily by hospital attendants last night.
Mary Alice Hardman, c. 42, was recovering satisfactorily last night at Watkins Memorial hospital where she was taken after having been slugged by an unknown assailant at about 9 o'clock Monday night.
Miss Hardman was unable to give police any description of her assailant except that the man was slightly taller than she and about of average height.
Miss Hardman said that she heard footsteps behind her as she crossed a vacant lot near Dean Crawford's home, but that she was not alarmed, since she believed them to be made by some other student. She told police that when the man drew abreast of her, she slightly turned her head and the man struck her.

Marks of Two Blows
She was unable to remember whether she had been struck once or twice, but the attending physician said that there were marks of gunshot wounds on her knee and been struck on the side and back of the head, the physician said.
Miss Hardman was returning to the home of Dean Ivan C. Crawford, head of the School of Engineering, 1609 Stratford road, where she is a guest, when the attack occurred. She had been attending a meeting of Sigma Kappa sorority, of which she is a member.
From the nature of the abrasions, the physician said he believed she had been struck with a heavy, blunt instrument. It was at first believed that she might have been attacked with a brick, but the cut, it was found at the hospital, was entirely free of dirt.
Miss Hardman said that "everything turned black" after the first blow, and that she was knocked down by its force. She could not move in such a way. For ever, she was able to see the man as he fled.
Runs Into House
Dean Crawford said yesterday that he heard Miss Hardman scream as she was struck, and that not more than three minutes elapsed between then and the time she ran in the door of his home. The scream also was heard by several persons in a neighboring house.
Dean Crawford placed the time of the attack between 8:35 and 9 o'clock. Miss Hardman was questioned by police and admitted to Watkins Memorial hospital about 9:30 o'clock.
Miss Hardman received an anonymous telephone call several weeks ago, it was learned, but since the call was not traced, it was impossible to determine whether it could be connected with the attack.

The campaign has been conducted without a house-to-house canvass and it is believed that the goal can be reached without resorting to such contributions have not been touted but are expected to reach $100.
At the present time 250 people have contributed. Twenty-five contributions amounting to more than 5 have been received. This is an increase over last year's number of large gifts.
Faculty and employees of the University have given $425 to the Red Cross fund in the present campaign. However, the fund is still $75 short of the $500 goal set by the committee. All others interceded are discharged from the court. Since faculty members and employees have only received one check this fall, post dated checks will be accepted by the committee.
