Great Britain Recalls Envoy From Berlin
- Believe France Will Take Similar Action Later; Move Seen as Rebuke to Hitler's March East
London, March 17 - (UP)—Great Britain took the lead in democracy's "stop Hitler" drive today by recalling her ambassador from Germany to report on the Nazi "March To The East" through central Europe.
Diplomatic circles believed France would later take similar action, although authoritative sources in Paris unsettled the next move there.
Nazi Ambassador May Go
Great Britain's action was viewed as a rebuke to the Nazi destruction of Czechoslovakia and seizure of Czechia and Slovakia as protector-
Reliable sources believed that Germany would call the German ambassador to London, Dr. Herber Von Dicken, borne for a similar reason.
This action would parallel the action of the United States in Recalling its ambassador to Berlin. Germany later called the German arm amnesty department obligation home. Neither has returned to his post or I likely to do so soon.
Small Countries Anxious
The French cabinet of Premier Edouard Dalalier asked parliament for Dictorial powers to meet the threat created by the Nazi seizure of Bohemia, Moravia and Slovakia and by growing expectation that Hitler would now back his totalitarian partner, Permier Benito Mussolini of Italy, in a long-awaited move against France in the Mediterranean.
In Poland, in Rumania and in Ju-
gslavia the governments of Europe's little powers were in almost constant consultation in an effort to find further safeguards against an attack that would endure their own frontiers.
Even in Hungary, which got Hitler's vague blessing for its military annexation of Carpatho-Ukraine the government leaders and the big land-owners watched with mounting alarm as the Nazis carried their crusade against Jews, Communists and other political or racial foes into the Czechoslovak "protectocraters" where 10,000 people were said to have been arrested by secret police in Bohemia alone.
Leisure Group to Complete Plans for Movie Production
Plans for a moving picture to be taken in the near future will be completed at the creative leisure commission of the Y.M.C.A. and W.Y.C.A at 2:30 Sunday afternoon. The Rev H. Lee Jones will help in its installation and photograph the picture which will have an all-student cast.
The commission produced a successful movie last year called "A Death in the Family." The present picture, a comedy, will be twice as long as the previous one. Most of the photography will take place outdoors, and while the exact nature of the picture has not been decided upon, it probably will be a romance with a picnic background, said Chas Yeomans, b'40, co-chairman of the commission.

Down at the Phi Gam house, Randy Long has the following sign posted conspicuously in his coat: He is closed to termological *inexactitudinarius*.
Possibly Mr. Long means that those who indulge in the brobdingnagian art of lying are not permitted to engage in discussions there.

Hitler May Summon Reichstag To Establish His Protectorate
Berlin, March 17—(UP) —Fuehrer Adolf Hitler may summon the Reichstag next week to make a declaration on his establishment of protectorates over Czechia and Slovakia, reliable sources said today. Hitler is expected to return to Berlin tomorrow night or Monday to receive a welcome now being prepared for him. It was planned for the welcome to exceed any of his other triumphant entries into the capital.
Reliable bases also dislabeled the Rome-Berlin axis worked perfectly during the absorption of Czechoslovakia. Hitler kept in telephonic communication with Premier Benito Mussolini from Berlin and in Praigue, keeping the latter strictly informed of his intentions.
At the climax, Mussolini knew exactly what was to occur in the next 24 hours. It was understood Mussolini congratulated Hitler on his success in the undertaking and expressed his good wishes.
The German press acclaimed Hitler and so far ignored the resentment aroused in Britain and France by his coup.
It was made known in Vienna that Julian Revay, foreign minister of the new Carpatho-Ukrainian government, had been sent there to attend a conference in Hungary's violation of the frontier fixed at the conference at Vienna
They'll be watching their footwork but it will be for a different season tonight when the 1939 baseball team is honored at the annual K-club varsity at the Memorial Jnion.

Allen, Corlis to Officiate In Honoring Cage Squad
Coach F. C. Allen will be on hand, his official function being to present Lyman Corlis, b39, newly elected honorary court captain. The good Doctor will be without his truth water bottles and it's likely if any substitutes are sent in, he will enter the swinging himself.
Candidates to Take Summerfield Exams
Cornil will introduce the basketball queen who is to be chosen from the following six women students: Julia Ruth Henry, e4'00; John MacFarron, e4'12; Caitlin Sailne Jane Bachelor, c3'29; John M. Calf, c4'22; Jean Blaney, c4'40.
Two hundred and eighty high school seniors who are Summerfield aspirants will take the preliminary examinations for the scholarship tomorrow in six pre-designated Kansas cities. The six cities which are official examination points are: Dodge City, Wichita, Colby, Salina, Lawrence, and Parsons.
The contestants for the scholarship were nominated in February by their high school principals as best meeting the specified requirements for ability, character, training, and promise of future usefulness to society. Of the 280 taking the examination tomorrow, about 35 will be selected to take the final tests April 19.
The fund for the scholarships was provided in 1929 by Solon E. Summerfield, a graduate of the University and president of the Gotham hosiery company. The scholarships are awarded to men for one year and are extended annually for three additional years if the holders maintain the high personal and scholastic standard shown at the time of appointment.
Of the final contestants 10 or 15 will be awarded scholarships. All students will guarantee the winners necessary expenses, but the ability of each candidate and of his family to share the expenses will be a factor in determining the amount of the allotment.
Poland worried over the Slovak "Protectorate" on its extended frontier. Rumania was alarmed over both the Slovak and Carpatho-Ukrainian situations and people gathered in Carpathos streets to talk of the possibility of war. Even Hungary, fighting its way through Carpatho-Ukrainia, saw reason for anxiety—it was reported that if she did not complete her occupation soon, Hitler might move in.
Phi Delta Phi Holds Initiation
Phl Delta Phl, national legal fraternity, will hold initiation services, his afternoon at 4:30 in the courtroom of Green hall. Walter Stover, 35, president vice, s expected to attend. All acts are required to attend th services.
last November under German and Italian sponsorship.
At Bratislava, authoritative German quarters said that they believed Hitler's attitude toward Carpatho-Ukrainia would depend on the people of the area themselves—that if they held out for a few more days against the Hungarians, Hitler might intervene.
Premier Augustin Voloin of Carpatho - Ukraine was quoted as charging in an interview at a Rumanian frontier town that Germany betrayed his country by advising it not to fight Hungary.
One thing was certain--that Germany had driven a powerful military wedge into the heart of central Europe and made itself master of the whole middle Danube basin. It had increased its frontier line, but its defensive line had been shortened by the invasion of the frontier which Poland would have to defend if it ever clashed with Germany. Hungary seemed to have been included definitely inside the German sphere of influence.
Julia Henry, petite daughter of the University director of athletics, was being backed by members of the varsity court squad. This, it was, insured her election to the queenship. Later reports, however, indicated the heavy vote of freshman players might counter-balance Henry's support on the varsity squad and give the honor to another candidate.
The coaches at the dance will act as judges to select the most athletic couple on the basis of appearance and skill, together to both fast and slow music.
The K-club will present Corlis with a gold certificate in recognition of his being chosen on the official Big Six basketball team. The varsity is being given by the K-club in honor of the basketball team.
Downtown merchants are cooperating with the K-club by offering gifts to the winners of the contest, the honorary captain, and the basketball queen. Corlis will receive a gift from Obers; the queen will receive a gift from Weavers; the girl of the most athletic couple will be presented with a gift from Harzfelds; and the boy of the most athletic couple will receive a gift from Harzfelds.
Drive to Aid Chinese Students Gets Under Way
- Permanent Committees to Conduct Campaign Named by Moore and Youneman. Co-chairmen
Permanent committees to conduct the drive for funds to aid stricken Chinese students were announced this afternoon by John J. O. Moore, then chairwoman, and Jeanne Youngman, c9, co-chairman of the general committee.
Action started when Chancellor E. H. Lindley, national committee-man for the Far Eastern Student Service fund, met representatives of student groups and of the faculty Saturday morning. Out of this meeting evolved the permanent committee to obtain the University's contribution to the $50,000 quota. The general drive has been organized by the Student Service and the World's Student Christian Federation.
Money obtained from United States colleges and universities will restore Chinese universities, 35 of the 100 having been destroyed in the Japanese-Chinese conflict. Other problems (in the case) are attached to keeping Chinese students alive and training them in reconstruction of their country.
Special arrangements: Mary Jones c'41, chairman; Ed Wiles b'40; Paul Masoner, ed'38; Mr. Monk Stueky, ed'39 and Velma Wilson, c'40.
Here's something to stand on your head about. At least that is what photographer Bert Brandt did when he caught the candidates for basketball queen in a huddle. From the bottom and theme clockwise around the circle, they answer to the names La Rienne Nash, Jean Milan, Jean MacFarland, Sallie Jane Bachelor, Julia Henry and Jane Blanchey. Henry was believed to have inside track with the basket-stealing player, Michael mann who dressed him out of other ideas, might steer another fair court. The woman will be announced at the K-Club virality tonight.

Hollywood, Calif., March 15—(UP)
Claudette Colbert, film star, will be interviewed by long-distance telephone from Denver tomorrow night on the occasion of the premier of her latest picture.
Former Student To Quiz Star in Novel Interview
On the stage of the Denham theater in Denver, the questions will be spoken into the phone by Albert de Bernardi, newspaper drama editor and professor at Columbia College. Colbert's answers will be heard over the theater's loud speaker system.
Bernardi is a former University student, attending from 1911 to 1913.
Gibbering Ghouls Gallop in Ghastly Graveyard Gravure
A speaking acquaintance with a qualified ghoul is not a standard pre-requisite for Creative Leisure activities but it would probably be an aid to those interested in working with the committee on the movie they are planning to make this semester.
The picture, to be called "What happened One Night," is to be a tragedy based on activity in a graveyard. The Creative Leisure group will write the continuity; act the parts; and direct the action.
A similar picture was produced last year and proved to be quite successful. Anyone interested in acting, or someone who wants to welcome to help in the production.
Tax Token Bill To Governor
Topeka, Kan., March 17. (UP)—Only a formal vote of the senate and approval by the governor remained today to eliminate the sales tax token system in Kansas and replaced it by a bract tax method.
The senate, sitting in committee of the whole, passed the house-approved bill to abolish sales tax tokens. The senate must pass the measure in formal session before it is sent to Gov. Payne H. Ratner, who is expected to sign it without delay.
The bill does not specifically outline a bracket system. The state tax commission is directed to consult merchants and to work out a suitable system of collection. The Iowa system was mentioned on the senate floor as being under consideration.
The Iowa plan places no tax o purchases of 15 cents or less, on cent tax on purchases from 16 to 65 cents and 2 cents on purchases of from 65 cents to $1. Merchants, under the proposed system, would be required to pay on the basis of a 2 per cent levy on gross sales, which would mean that they would pay the 2 per cent even on sales of less than 15 cents. A higher tax on more costly goods, however, would make up the difference, proponents of the bill said.
The house killed a bill which would have required counties, municipalities, the state or individuals to let contracts providing that the prevailing wage scale in a community must be paid on public work projects. The measure had the backing of organized labor groups.
