Milford, Oct. 7.-The body of Ben jamin Btnkowftz, a messenger in New York City, whose disappearance in August. and whose mutilated body was found on the Milford turnpike later, was taken from the Milford cemetery today for re-interment in the Park City Cemetery, Bridgeport.

Must Pay College Profess ors Better or Anarchy
 Will Result. RADICALISM NOW
 IN ASCENDANT

San Francisco, Oct. 7.-Warning that unless better pay is forthcoming for teachers in American colleges, the nation will be face to face with a dangerous radicalism from the cen ters of higher education was voiced by Herbert Hoover, former food ad- ministrator, in an address before the Harvard Club of California at a din her here last night.
 "Out of the war and misery of the war has arisen silhouette of class distinction and class hatred that is not to be obIiterated with a few words" MT. Hoover said. "The de- veIopment of radicaIism in Europe during the last 12 months is beyond anything in history America is a fertile field and responds quickly to any wind that may blow. This Euro pean wind of radicaltsm is sweeping our way and it is affecting us.
 "'In our great universities the in- structing and faculty staffs are hard hit by the present economic situa ton, which in the face of enormous pros perity turns something like S7 a day to the educator, while the craftsman who repairs his kitchen sink makes more in fewer hours of work.
 America cannot permit this grow ing sense of injustice to remain with the nations educators. There is a menace to the nations safety in dis content in the background of the university faculty York and every right thinking citizen must see it.
 Mir. Hoover declared other indepen- dent universities of the nation should follow Harvard's example in seeking to raise an endowment for increasing teachers salaries fifty to one hun dred per cent. and that state legis- lators should take like steps for fac uIty members in state institutions

 IN GRAVE DANGER

Paris, Oct. Turkish nationalist troops said to number upwards OF 100000 men and commanded by Mus tapha Kernal seem to have precipitat- ed in Asia Minor. oa q -7ator scale, a crisis similar to that which arose in Dalmatia when Captain D'AnnunZio seized the city of Plume.
 There is a feeling that the situation in Asia Minor has gone beyond the control of the Turkish government and that the allied powers are help less, at present, to do anything to bring military pressure to bear and afford any appreciable relief There are some who question whether the powers are sufficiently united, or in- clined, to intervene.
 konieh, an important railroad cen ter, virtually dominates southern Asia Minor. Its capture appears to indicate that Mustapha Kema is in control of vast region stretchin g from Konieh on the southwest, to Erzerum, the principal city of Turk ish Armenia, a distance of about 425 miles. It is said the fall of the Turk ish cabinet was caused by the cap ture of Konieh, and there seems to be some apprehension in some quar- lerS that the Turkish throne may be in danger. On the other hand, French circles point out that Djemal Pasha, the newly appointed Turkish minister of war. is a political ally of Musta plla Renal
 The task of working out the future status of Turkey has not progressed far in the peace conference, so far as | shown by actual results Turkish del egates were invited to come to Paris ''tn an advisory capacity some time ago, but they have some time since returned to ConstantinopIe.
