Worcester, Mass, March 12-Car melo Salvatore Greco of New Brit ain was one of many Connecticut students to win places on the schol- astic honor roll for the first semes- ter at the Worcester Polytechnic Institute, according to an announce ment from the registrars office.
 Grecos averages were between so and S5 per cent in all subjects.
 The New Britain student. a mem- Der of the senior class, is auditor of the senior class, a junior editor of Tech News, and a member of Tau Beta Pi and Sigma Ri fraterni- ties. He is majoring in electrical engineering.
 Another senior to win honors equal to those of Greco was HarolJ Carter Hart of Forestville, a mem- Der of Theta Upsilon Omega and Sigma Xxi fraternitics. Hart was member of the 1929 soccer team and is specializing in civil engineering.

HOOVER PUZZLED
 BY COURT VACANCY
Three Courses Open to President
 in Filling Sanford Berth

Washington, March F (UP)-A major political problem far-reaching in possibilities confronts President Hoover in selection of d successor to the late Supreme Court Justice Ed ward Terry Sanford of Tennessee.
 Three courses are open to him. He may choose a so-called farm bloc liberal, like Judge William $. Kenyon of Iowa. and thus appcase the western senators who staged the recent demonstration against the naming of Charles E. Hughes of New York as chief justice.
 He may decide to maintain the economic complexion of the supreme court by naming 10 the conservative Sanfords place an outstanding cor poration attorney such as John w. Davis, defeated dem ocratic presi- dcntial candidate of 1924. and thus perhaps encounter another belliger- ent resistcncc from the western group within his own party.
 May Choose Middle Course
 Or he may stick: to a middle course, choosing any of the number of prominent jurists and attorneys who arc being mentioned. but who are not so closely allied with either of the opposing camps as represent cd by Kenyon or Davis.
 There is no ono in authority in Washington outside of the White House who professes to have q definite idea what course the prcsi- dent will choose.
 If Kenyon is named, there is every reason to believe he would be confirmed by the senate in five min utes because there arc many still in that body who worked with Kenyon when he was an Iowa senator.
 Should Davis be chosen there is a possibility of considerable senate debate of a character like the recent Hughes debate. His confirmation. however, is regarded as a foregonc conclusion because he is demo- crat and therefore would command wide support in the minority as well as the majority ranks.
 If any of the other prominently
 
 Parker of North Carolina, Owen Roberts of Philadelphia, or retiring Chief Justice Van Moschzisker of tho Pennsylvania supreme court. should get the appointment, the senate Judiciary committee probab- ly will scrutinize his record closely to develop his views on property rights. There is another celment in the situation created by the fact that the farm bloc now has no repre- sentative on the court.
 The dissenting wing of the court has been composed of Justices Holmes. Stone and Brandeis. If a man of their views should get the appointment the majority of the court would be narrowed from to 3, to , to 4,

Hartford, March 12.-Six hundred shirts worth $GOO We're slashed by convcts in Wethersfield prison last Friday, prison officials admitted yes terday. Warden Charles s. Reed said shirts were frequently mutilated by convicts. The shirt slashing us- ually occurs when prisoners are not satisfied with their food, it is said.
 Prison officials said. however, that at present the food in the jail is better than it ever has been. Hot cakes and steak frequently appear on the menu and every now and then scrambled cggs arc served at breakfast.
 Peter Solway, a guard. has resign cd from the prison service. The warden denied that the resignation had anything 10 do with the slash ing. Three new guards have been added since February 1.

Twenty speakers were scheduled for

The Chicagoan. In his report, pointed
out that without undertaking to re-
define neutrality or prove any plan for
its modification it seemed reasonable
to assume that it would be examined
widely in the direction of a co-opera-

IF there is a war anywhere" he
said, sit affects all nations. 1t follows
that all nations have q common con-

that a conference be held for consider
alton and adjustment of security prob

STEEL HEADS PAY
is STILL SECRET
Grace Explains Bethlehem
Company Gives Him Both
Bonus and Salary.

BY the Associated Press.
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, July Ia
The sum Eugene c. Grace receives as
president of the Bethlehem Steel Cor
poration remained secret today de-
spite an aIl-day court inquiry by at
terneys seeking to enjoin Bethlehem
merger with. the youngstown Sheet &
Tube Co
Grace startled the court room when
he testified late yesterday that his
stipulated salary is but $4,000 an
nlally after Sheet g. Tube counsel had
thwarted efforts to learn his total COM
persation through the Bethlehem bonus
system.
Big Figures Quoted.
Attorneys for the Cyrus S. Eaton
interests, fighting the merger on the
ground that it was fraudulently nego-
fiated upon terms unfair to Sheet a.
Tube stockholders, contend that Grace
receives large and unheard Of COM
pensation somewhere between $1,000 600
and 81 100000 annually. This was
fraudulently concealed from directors
of Sheet d. Tube when they were asked
to approve the merger, the Eaton in
terests charge.
Luther Day of Cleveland chief of the
anti-merger counsel. doggedly kept
questioning Grace about his bonus since
April 30, the day the consolidation was
to have taken effect had not the OPP
position gone into court. Grace said
his bonus since then was determined
upon "l12 per cent" but answered that
he didn't know when Day asked Il Il
per cent of WHAT"
Grace promised to find out what his
bonus was for the last three months.
Judge Limits Questions.
Previously Common Pleas Judge
David G.. jenkins ruled that Grace
would not have to tell what agreement
he had with Bethlehem prior to the
meeting Of Sheet & Tube directors last
March when they decided upon the
consolidation.
Counsel for the steel companies argued
that Grace's compensation was i'm
MARTIAL inasmuch as the merger pro-
position of four shares of Bethlehem for
three of Sheet g. Tube was based solely
upon earnings. Judge jenkins uphelo
the defense on this point after the
question had been debated most OF the
day. but said the opposition might ask
what provision was made for Grace
after the merger was to have taken ell

Thus some of the stimulating effects

as starting from electrical control.

ing some recent Einstein equations.

COLD SPRINGS HARBOR, N. Y,
July lS.-If men respond to alcohol like

then grain alcohol should be about

grain alcohol is less stimulating than
