FLYING COLLEGE
GIRLS DOWNED
BY STORM
8 Goucherites Returning to
Homes by AirpIanes Run
Into Thrilling Adventures

BALTIMORE, Md, March 90
Trapped in a binding snowstorm
over the mountains near Pitts
burgh a plane in which eight
Goucher College girls were flying
to their homes in Pittsburgh for
the Easter holidays made three
forced landings and finally the
pilot gave up.
The girls chartered two planes
Tuesday and expected to arrive
home within two hours. Instead
they reached Pittsburgh yesterday
by train with stories of hair
breath escapes.
Telling of the efforts of the
pilot to fly on dead reckoning,
one of the girls said that once
they had to land in order to get
direction, the second time the
fuel was running low, and the
third time the plane settled in
q plowed field to remain there.
The pilot of the second ship
after flying blindly for about an
hour suggested to his passengers
that they turn and head for
Washington, where they could
take a train for Pittsburgh. This
was done, and the girls arrived
home none the worse for their
experiences.

Austria Will Regret
Joining Germans in
NeU Pact, Says Paris

PARIS, March 26.-The Austro
German trade pact may change
the entire future of Europe, and
Austria at least is bound to re.
gret" her participation in such
an agreement, an official spokes'
man for the French foreign Of
flee told International News Ser
vice today. He said:
"The consequences Of Ber.
Inns startling initiative and dis
regard of treaties and cOnven-
tiOns may change the future
of all Europe"
"That Austria ultimately will
see that regrettable results of
the agreement will be felt by
Austria herself, since it is pain
fully evident that the agree
ment eventually will strip
Austria entirely Of her indie
pendence and result in COM
plete domination by Germany.
"France is anxious over the
situation because of the general
EurOpea consequences, but
particularly anxious over Aus
tria.
"With regard to Frances
diplomatic moves, they repre-
sent merely a friendly warning
to Austria against the pact,
which she is bound to regret
in the near future"

The liberal chieftain urged the

liberal measures. He said:
"The LIBERAL party retains full

He declared the act gave to a
civil bureau, meaning the bureau
of education, the authority to de-
clare what constitutes a misde-
meanor, and this bureau was not
accountable under the act to any
other authority.
Court Lacks Authority
Overruling the motion, Judge
Sellers asserted the court had no
authority under the act to define
a legal excuse for keeping q child
out Of school.
Mr.. White was found guilty
last January % and sentenced to
pay a fine Of $40 or serve five
days in jail. When he noted an
appeal, the court took his per-
Sonal recogniZance. Subsequently,
the court of appeals denied his
petition for q writ Of error and
several days ago refused a re-
hearing.
Today Mr.. White presented
himself for sentence and after
Attorney Fitzgerald thanked the
court for the consideration ex-
tended him, asserted that he
would refuse to pay the fine and
would serve the Jail sentence in
stead.
Thinks It Unconstitutional
At this point, Judge Sellers
made the startling declaration
that she considered the act un-
constitutional, but she had no
alternative other than to impose
sentence. However, she asserted
she desired to suspend the sen.
tence, unless the defendant in
sisted on going to Jail.
Mr.. White is the father of
several children and has expert
enced no difficulty with the others,
it is reported. The child, who
threw him into the tolls Of the
law, is now said to be with his
relatives in West Virginia.
Assistant Corporation Counsel
Walsh asserted his office would
suspend action in similar cases
under the act, pending the dis
charge from Mt. Alto Hospital of
Corporation Counsel William w.
Bride, who has been taking treat
ment for the past week and who
may remain in the hospital for
probably two weeks.

Department is thereby saved
from a situation that, to say

It was at first suggested that
Great Britain be asked to par

but then it was found that
Congress had not provided suf-
ficient money to invite more
than one nation. That nation,
Of course. is France and the in
vitation has already gone for

accepted.
The British Ambassador and

Austria to Adapt

To German SUsten1

VIENNA, March 26 Q.N.S0
Two significant developments
here indicated today that the
proposed Austro- German customs

deeper meaning than merely an
economic agreement.
1t was announced that DIR.
Hans Schurff, Austrian minister
of justice, would leave for Berlin
Immediately to negotiate the
adaptation of the German and
Austrian penal and civil codes.
In addition, he will seek an
adaptation Of the school systems

The more startling revelation

Germany Is Satisfied
To Let League Pass
On Trade Pact

BERLIN, March 26 I.N.S0-
Complete satisfaction was ex-
pressed by German foreign Of
flee officials today over the
proposal by Great Britain that
the projected AuStro-G German
customs union be submitted to
the League of Nations for ap-
proval.
The German view is that such
a step would represent a com.
promise. preventing a French
ultimatum completely ignoring
German rights.
In any case, Germany holds
she can nullify any adverse &C
tion by the League by the sim
pie expedient of a veto, as q
unanimous League vote would
be necessary to overthrow the
scheme. If lher veto should be
disregarded. Germany might
consider withdrawal from the
League of Nations, it was said.

circles of Great Britain were con-

BERLIN, March 26. - "An
'anschluss," or political fusion, be-
tween Germany and Austria, must
come eventually, but when the
time for that is ripe, it will mate
rialize in perfect agreement with
all international treaties; that is,
sanctioned by the League OF Ma
tions and with the consent OF all
powers"
This statement was made to In
ternatiOnal News Service today by
an official spokesman of Wilhelm
straSSe, definitely revealing that
Germany aims eventually to
merge with Austria, bQt that the
present proposed customs union
between the two countries must
be confined to economic purposes.
Out of Question Now
Frankly admitting that a po-
litical fusion between the two
nations is out of the question at
present, but that it must never
theless prove the ultimate solu-
tion of Central Europe's prob
lens, the government spokesman
continued:
Certainly we want an AN
schIuss.' It remains the ideal
of the German and Austrian
people, and would prove the
logical solution of our prob
lens, approached from the top
instead of the bottom. How
ever, such a fusion is forbidden
by treaties. and therefore i'm
possible at the present time.
"Now, with knives at our
threats and calamity staring
us in the face, we must try for
o solution from the bottom.
"The projected customs union
is purely an economic arrange
ment, strictly within interna-
tionaI law. The political AN.
schluss' must come as a logical
event, but when the time for
that is ripe, it will materialixe
in perfect agreement with all
international treaties"
Secret Session Held

greater Germany movement held
a secret session here to survey
developments in connection with
the customs union. Among those
prominent in that movement are

Under this treaty the United

to have told Stimson that thus
far the customs union is only a

what the two countries hope to
effect. Stimson was told the
