PARIS, Nov. 25.--Ever since the
first publication of the alleged ro-
nance OF Nine. Curie and Prof. Langc-
win. a section Of the press has been
asserting that leading professors and
officials of the Sorbonne have been
straining every nerve 70 suppress the
ease for the honor of science and the
credit of the university.
These papers say the president OF
the Paris press syndicate was requested
by members of the Sorbonnc not to
, mention the story. which certainly has
been dropped except by one or two
papers which say there arc two women
in the case.
Ono of these is French woman
whose home has been destroyed and
the other foreigner who deliberately
set out on the task Of separating a
husband from his wife and the children
from their mother.
