Further developments in the investi-

Bromley Oman, president and
military authorities are clinched in
a deadlock
Following withdrawal OF the unit

the war department in an ensuing
investigation asked that Oman re-
quest the withdrawal Of the corps
because Of his purported opposition

reported. OMAN refused 20 dismiss

The Methodist Episcopal church
conference voted to request govern
ments TO withdraw all supports for
military training i'm civil institu-
ton. De Paw university is one Of
the fOrty-fOur universities and col
leges OF the Methodist church.
The war department charges that
Oman, who frequently has stated
his paCifistic convictions. has been
influential In Withdrawing student
interest and support from the unit.
Oman has been attacked previous
ly by the D. AR for his attitude
toward patriotic programs.
The war department in its
charges stated that Oman had not
allowed r. o. T. c. representatives
to interview freshman students.
Branded snap Course"
In answer TO this. Oman stated
that since the officers Of military
training were not appointed by the
university that they had too made
quate knowledge Of the curriculum
TO be advisors In addition. he
stated that no one department had
ever had the privilege of addressing
the freshmen for the purpose of
soliciting members for courses.
OMAN too. stated that the mil
itary course was regarded as. a
SNAP course by the student body.
In the second semester of 1931-1932.
he pointed out that SO per cent of
all students taking military were
accorded grades of A or B.
Enrolment Slumps
The enrolment of the course
dropped from $40 in 1928-'29 to ISL
last year. Despite the slack regis

drawal Is that present bone Of con-

responsibility TO military authorities.

Against Poisoning of
Jobless Negro Worker

YOUNGSTOWN, o., April 25.-"It's
good enough for niggers!" That's
what the storekeeper who sold the
rotten meat to Claude Stoudmire on
his relief order said The putrid
meat killed the 47-year old Negro
worker. And that sentence has grown
into a boomerang.
The West Federal st. market had
been selling meat year and more
old. So good was his political pull,
that even after the Negroes death he
was not touched by the authorities,
and the story was hushed up and not
a word printed until three months
later. But indignant workers spread
the word from block to block until
it couldn't be hushed any longer
Twelve hundred and fifty pounds
of tainted meat was confiscated fl
nally by the city inspector. Even
then, no arrest.
Under the auspices of the Unem-
ployed Council, the Steel and Metal
Workers Industrial Union and the
Communist Party series OF protest
meetings were held throughout the
city. Today, finally. the store owner
was arrested. He will probably be let
off easily, if Mayor Moore thinks he
can do it without arousing the ire OF
the workers.
But there are scores of other stores
selling bad food, forcing unemployed
workers to take it on their relief Or
ders. On May Day, the workers OF
