STUDENTS DEADLOCKED
Italian scholars In Romc Arc Op. posed To Thc New school Reform Measures There.

Rome, Dec. !. Agitation among students against the new school re- form law has developed deadlock al the University Of Rome, the university authorities expressing determination not 10 reopen the institution until the students have yielded. while the lat ter refuse to return under the pro- visions Of the new law
 The students object to the laws provisions making fl obligatory 10 rass all examinations before being ad- mitted to the next years course. Those students who fnatricuiatcd last year are especially aroused over this contending it is unfair to expect them to sit now for examinations in which they failed during the first year at the university
 The chief innovation introduced by the law. V hich completely reforms thC whole scholastic mac hincry of Italy. consists in limiting inc number of state schools throughout the kingdom as well as inc numtser of students who may attend each coursa. The sudden application Of the law led to numbers Of students being refused admittance 10 the state schools. and the private srhnnis havc hcen unahlc i0 accom- mudate the surplus.
 Thesc limitations do not apply 10 inc c.Ieruentsry schoo1s attendance st which is still compulsory.

  the approval of Rev. Lucyan Boinow- sIKi. pastor of the Sacred Heart church. the pastor came out in the ''Catholic Leader with a statement givfng vent to his feelings in the matter. His statement was of such a nature that almost the entire com mittee was impelled to resign and the pastor was then called upon to name another group. Certain changes were made in the second committee which were not sanctioned, 1t is said.
 Although aware that the reception would not have the support of some cf the most desirable backing, the committee proceeded until the nu- merous changes caused the members to quit in disgust.
 Father Icick said this morning that many of the Polish people Of this city will go to Meriden to join with that city in receiving the general but that there would probably be no committee from this oity, nor would there be any semblance Of an official reception.
 The priest IS a personal friend or General Haller and served as chap. tain tn the forces under that leader He as we'll as other members of the committee feel that the failure Of General Haller to carry out the en- tire program as originally planned, was not due to any wishes of his own, but because of the necessity Of meet ing the requirements of the schedule as prepared by his committee.
 Father Botnowski has extended personal invitation to tho general to visit here. It is likely that the Polish leader will make a hurried automo- bile trip to New Britain and take birds-eye view of the town, particu- isriy the orphanage, printing plant, church and schools connected with the Sacred Heart church.
