Norway Says No Return Of Prize Crew
- Germans Aboard City of Flint to Concentration Camp; Have Intered 18 Officers and Man
Oslo, Norway, Norway. Tuesday, Nov. 7—(UP)—The Norwegian government, rejecting Germany's demand for "immediate release" of the Nazi prize crew taken from the American steamer City of Flint, announced early today that the Germans will be sent to a concentration camp.
Simultaneously the Ohio radio station revealed that Germany had demanded compensation from Norway for the loss of the City of Flint's cargo when the ship was turned back to Capt. Joseph A. Gainard and his American crew Saturday after internment of the Nazi crew.
The 18 officers and men of the prize crew, now interned aboard the Norwegian warship Olaf Trygvaen at Haugesund where the Flint was sent to the concentration camp will be sent to the concentration camp Wednesday, it was announced.
Berlin, Nov. 6—(UP)—Authorized Nazi spokesmen said tonight that Germany still hopes to recover the American steamer city of Flint and its cargo of contraband despite refusal of the Norwegian government to detain the vessel at Bergen after interment of its Nazi prizew crew.
"Both Norway and Germany are studying legal aspects of the situation, and beyond that there are no new developments," a source close to the Wilhelmstrasse said.
To Intensify Sea Warfare
The statement coincided with threats by Nazi leaders and the press, that Germany undoubtedly will open intensified warfare on the high seas with U-boats and planes to prevent the Allies from receiving American information in the result of the lifting of the U. S. arms embargo.
Der Angriff, organ of propaganda Minister Paul Joseph Goebbels struck the keynote of the embargo-lifting attacks with a statement that the release of U.S. arms and munitions is "a victory for those American circles speculating on war profits."
Z-229
The newspaper accused President Roosevelt of putting through the revision with an eye on the 1940 presidential election, saying: "It is evident that most investigators of this revised neutrality come to the conclusion that Wall Street and its bags dominate the United States more than ever.
See Friendship Gesture to Allies
Friendship
"The abstraction of the neutrality law and its coming into force show irrefutably and with crystal clarity the gesture of friendship by the United States (toward Britain and France). But this revision is at the same time a rickety branch or America's fate hangs trembling."
The Nachtungaue said that President Roosevelt and U.S. Secretary of State Cordell Hall have repudiated the previous neutrality declarations.
The well-informed Nazi newspaper Hamburger Freundbänden said editorially that an intensified German campaign on the soys may prove to prevent American arms from reaching British or French ports.

Work will begin within the next few days on the damages done by the fire at the Phi Delt house last week, it was announced by the fraternity yesterday.
Members of the alumni association of the organization will meet with the insurance adjustors this fall to discuss the extent of the damages.
The fire occurred in the south end of the house in a storage room, and was not discovered until it had
spread to the roof of the building.
Most of the luggage in the room was destroyed and because of the smoke and water in part of the sleeping rooms some of the men had thrown into the bathroom in maternity houses to spend the night.

Reds Not To Fight, Molotov Asserts
Moscow, Nov. 6—(UP)—Soviet premier and foreign commissar Vlasevich M. Molotov asserted tonight on the 22nd anniversary of the Russian revolution, that the neutrality of some nations is only a matter to be decided in quotation and hope of huge profits "at the price of misery and ruin."
Molotov referred only to "certain countries" but it was evident from a communist international manifesto issued a few hours earlier that he referred principally to the United States, lifting of the U.S. arms embargo.
"No effort to draw the soviet union into war can succeed." Moholov said in a 15-minute speech before a communist rally in the Bolshoy Opera House climaxing the first day of a three-day celebration of the 1917 revolution and overthrow of the czars.
A group of Kansas State roots, determined to take the University goal posts back to Aggieville, thought they had won their point when they sneaked the trophies to a local railroad station over the weekend and paid for their transportation to Manhattan.
On an anonymous tip over the telephone, Davidson found the trail that led to the purlined posts. With the aid of a deputy sheriff he recovered them from the freight office.

The Memorial Union hall room will be filled with dancers, while wright fit out fitting clothes (but don't fit) for the occasion.
Hobo Day has in the past been a half-day vacation and students paraded about the Campus dressed in the drags of the closet. The event was part of the annual Homecoming celebration.
Recently, when numerous organizations petitioned the University senate for a full-day holiday to see he Cornhusk contest, the Senate complied—but students gained that access only at the cost of Hobo Day.

Editors Consider Wage Hour Law
Interest in the wage-hours law as it affected their newspapers was aviced by Kansas editors here Friday for the annual editors' roundtable sessions, sponsored by the department of journalism.
The discussion centered around the topic suggested by C. C. Bunger, editor of the Neodesha Sun, on "How can you comply with the wage-hours law without going broke?" Sid Harris, the Ottawa Herald, and Harry Montgomery, partner at McGraw-Hill University, also had submitted similar topics on the wage-hours law for the "wrangle list."
Two important collections of medical books have been donated to the University of Kansas hospital in Kansas City, by Dr. Logan Clendening, widely known physician and author, and by Dr. H. M. Pickard of the Union Station hospital, Kansas City, Mo.
The third floor of the Hixon laboratory is now virtually complete for use as a library and medical history museum according to Dean Harry R. Wahl of the University School of Medicine. Ms. Logan Clendening recently gave $10,000 to furnish and equip the floor.
Dr. Clendening has placed his entire collection of medical books in Hixon laboratory, a recent addition to the University of Kansas hospital for use by staff members and students of the University School of Medi- anese medical book-
Included among the other topics discussed at the roundtable sessions were: "Correct appraisal of news values," suggested by A. Q. Miller of the Belleville Telescope; "The new probate law and methods of handling estates," suggested by Glick Fockele of the LeRoy Reporter; "Would legal publication of local, rural, and high school district warrants at stated periods be in the interest of good government?" by Mr. and Mrs. Walt Neibarger, of the Tonganoxie Mirror.
Dr. H. M. Pickard's gift consists of his collection of Chinese and Jap-
anexe medical books and works of medical art, which he has collected over a period of from 30 to 40 years in his extensive travels. Dr. Pickard long has been interested in Chinese and Japanese medical history
The collection will be given an ap propriate place in the medical mu seum, Dean Wahl said.

Dupre's Mastery Of Touch Brings Organ To Life
lightness of touch. It is in such delicacies of interpretation of course, that Dupe's claim to greatness lies; he is far more than a merely polished performer.
By Richard MacCann, c'40
"Bercuse" tops program
In contrast to these selections, in the first half of the program, were the sairing of Mendelssohn's "Prelude in B Flat" and the combined fire and noisy repetition of Bach's "femtocata" to Focus and Fugue in D Minor. Cesar Franck's "Pastorale" brought the first group to a close, and it was followed by Daquin's "Noel!" as an encore.
An allegro from Wido's Sixth Symphony provided a brilliant opening to the second half of the program, but the performer's rendition of his own "Berecue" was the high spot of the program—a quiet, incoherent Little Cradle song of much beauty.
His own "Fileuse" was a simple imitation of a spinning wheel; Lymnwood Faram's "Tocatc" followed, and the formal program ended with Dupere's own variations of an "Old Neel," replete with modern dissonances. The latter would hardly have been a satisfying ending.
Delights Audience
Fortunately his final contribution, while an innovation for most of the audience, was at least more comprehensible. The themes supplied by Proi. C. S. Skilton ("Passacaglia" and "Scherza") and by Prof. L. E Anderson ("Andante sagesse") may be expanded on sight with a nonchalant skill that seemed almost incredible. His encore was the "Finale" from
The University organ came to life 1st night. Under Marco Dupre's keen intelligent handling, the tired old instrument in Hoch auditorium found itself responding warmly. Sometimes it almost seemed that the organ wasn't going to keep up with his deftness, but he managed to conquer the wheezing organ and the echoing acoustics as well.
It was impossible not to note the man's physical dexterity—his facility of movement from manual to manual and from foot-pedal to foot-pedal. But more significant was his delicate adjustment of tone-quality to the meaning of his music—especially in the Handel "Gavotte" and the Schumann "Canon in B Minor." The Cuckoo" by Daquin, was another example of error.
In short, it was a performance by a master workman, remarkable for accuracy of technique, clarity of tone, and variety of mood. But somehow the program lacked some necessary element—call it "audience-interest"—that might have fired the enthusiasm of the 1,500- or so that were there.

A 'Red Ridinghood' Is Switzerland, Says W. W. Davis
Picturing Switzerland as "a little Red Riding hood surrounded by wolves," Dr. W. W. Davis, chairman of the department of history, told Rotarians yesterday that this little mountainous country has been able to maintain her independence for centuries.
With a foreign-born population of 10 per cent, without nationality determined by race, and with but 12 thousand square miles of agriculture! land, this little country has a demi-land, the 48 per cent of the United States, Dr. Davis said.
Switzerland's credit is better than that of any other European nation, and her neighbors follow a strict policy of "hands-off" even when tempted to do other things. he added. Small, compact, and with citizens who don't speak Swahili, Switzerland supplies her apparent indifference to nearby conflicts with "the preparedness of a porcupine," Dr. Davis concluded.
