RADICALS WILL
 NOT CONTROL IN
 UNITED STATES
Neither Communists Nor Fascists to Gain Lead
 in Near Future

Cincinnati, Ohio, Mar 2.-UP) Neither Fascist nor Communist control in the United States is like. ly in the near future, according tt 6 symposium of views of 60 Ameri. can university and college presi- dents published to-day by the Gin cinnati Post in copyrighted ar ticle.
 Many leading educators, replying to a Questionnaire sent out by the newspaper, qualified their answers however, with predictions that from the gradual passing away of the individualistic system of society and government will evolve q greater measure of governmental control of business.
 "The inherent love of democracy was cited by many as a reason why Americans would turn neither to the communist left nor the fascist right" the Post said. Some be- lieved that eventual fascism stood better chance here than com munism. A rew held the reverse opinion.
 For the future, prophecies ranged from more extensive |governmental control of business to a more socialistic planning and a greater tendency toward fascism than communism.
 "The drift in America is un- doubtedly away from democracy to mass rule," President l.. D. Golf man of the University of Mime sota, wrote. He predicted that If the national recovery plan fails and If America continues to main- tain a militant nationalist policy we shall, in my opinion, be faced before another spring with the ssi5ility of fascist state"
 Dr Clarence A. Barbour of Brown university. replied that the genius of the American people is such as to avoid either commun- ism or fascism but there are symptoms that neither would be impossible"
 Ernest M. Hopkins. president o1 Dartmouth, saw private industria development, management and ownership under governmental regulation "the logical and desir- able future form"
 The American people as class do not tend toward fascism, nol would they be fooled by the false promises" of communism, Dr Cole man Nevils, S. J., president ol Georgetown university said.
 Miss Mary Emma Wooley. head of Mt Holyoke, saw no rise oi either order.
 President James E. Conant O. Harvard, declined to "act as 6 prophet"
 The president of Syracuse uni versity, NCharles Wesley Flint, en. visioned a larger measure of gov. ernmental control or supervision. al did President Charles E. Beury o1 Temple university.
 1 English speaking peoples do no govern themselves after fascist ol communist patterns in the opinior of Daniel w. Morehouse, Drake university.
 The Rev John r. O'Hara, c. s C., vice president of Notre Dame saw ITO reason to believe "0ur pe0 pie want a permanent condition O lgovernmental interference in buri ness"

PICTURE OF SEA . MONSTER IS SENT
 OVER BY RADIO
Washed Up at CherbOnrg in FranCe-Scientists
 Are a Bit Puzzled

New York, Mar 2. (UP)-The scientific world was as mystified as ever to-day over WhatiZzit, the first monster to have his picture taken >and transmitted by radio across the Atlantic.
 Whatizzit, strange creature 25 feet long and five feet in girth, was washed up at Cherbourg, France. climaxing a series of sea-monster reports that promised to label the winter of 1933-34 in history as the year of the great sea monsters"
 Here at last was tangible evil dence which migh prove whether the Loch Ness, Scotland, Sea Ser pent' and other sea-monsters act ua1ly were something hitherto un- known to man or merely some rate species. The New York Times was interested enough to cable for a picture and orde" the picture sent by radio at cost of $80 for trans- mission alone.
 When the picture arrived it was taken to Dr William K. Gregory, curator-in-chicf of living and ex- tinct fishes at tho American muse- um of Natural History, who ought to know what 1t was if anyone would. pr Gregory examined the photograph carefully.
 "There ain. no such animal" was the gist of his opinion.
 The monster can't be a whale, he said; it's got too long a neck. some kind-on1y it's got 8 dorsal fin and no known species of seal is equipped with Sdorsal fin. A manatee? Possibly, but manatees also have short necks. Besides, they don't have dorsal fins.
 Dr Gregory checked over @ list of some of the Manatee's relatives. A steller's Sea Cow? No, that's out. Steller's Sea Cow became extinct in the 18th century, and besides. 1t had short neck. Whatizzit resem- bles a Dugong in one particular, he said--its' body.
 Judge from the photograph, pr Gregory said, whatizzit has the long neck of Sea Lion. the square head of a MaEatee. and the body of an exceptionally long Dugong.
 "Whatever 1t is, it is no sea ser pent," he said. '"The original sea serpent was band or ribbon fish, known as oar. fish. The great sea serpents of the remote past were the Chastasauri of the Triasic age, some 200, ,O00,OC0 years ago, the Ichthyiooauri. Plesiosauri, Notho- sauri, and Moyasauri, all different kinds of true marine reptiles.
 "The creature may be new species of seal driven from Antarc- tica by the recent heavy storms. However, while this is not impos- sible, it is highly improbable"
 Dr Gregory said his best guess was that the creature is some new species of giant fur-bearing seal.

reform and new industrial em- ployment campaign.
 3. The Weirton Steel Co, defied national labor board efforts to compose a dispute involving a com pany union and the justice depart ment has been requested by the board to prosecute.
 4. William H. Davis, chairman of the national compliance board, has undertaken investigation of charges against the Ford Motor Co, which is accused of refusing the privilege of collective bargaining to employees at Edgewater, N.J.
 5. Senator Robert F. Wagner, dem, N. r., chairman of the na- tional labor board, introduced bill striking at "company unions- which would prevent recurrence of such conditions as those at Weir ton.
 MIRA has not provided enough new jobs. Johnson has pledged himself to propose next week re- duction in the code work week and an increase in the hourly rate of pay. A 10 per cent cut in hours and 10 per cent boost in hourly wages proposal is under consider ation by MIRA officials. Coded in- dustry woulud have to be persuad- ed to accept such a program. That will be difficult. Johnson estimates just under 3,00O,000 workers have been employed through MIRA and that the workers annual payroll has been increased $3,OOO, ,OOO, 900.
 The 12-point NRAsreform pro- gram outlined by Johnson at the beginning of this weeks protest meetings will require major re- vision of the MIRA code structure If carried out. The first movement toward it's realization will come March :. when MT Roosevelt ad- dresses the general conference of code authorities representing 90 per cent of the industrial labor in the United States.
 Introduction of the Wagner bill coincidentally with the labor boards appeal for prosecution of the Weirton Steel case lends some weight to belief current in Wash ington that this particular case is not as strong as might be desired. {
 The Wagner bill. if passed, would prevent other steel companies or industries from attempting to make the Weirton case precedent should prosecution lead to legal defeat for the government.
 During the months of dispute there have been reports that big business was deliberately seeking this test.
 Wagner's bill would have no di- rect bearing on the Weir case un- less a violation occurred after the bill Is passed.
 However, the bill is retroactive in that it would abrogate any ex- isting contracts contrary to its provisions.
