COLLEGE PARK, Md, April 9.
The impending student strike
against war scheduled for Friday,
April IL, which the Washington
Board of Education la; week re-
fused to sanction, ran into unex-
pected complications at the Uni
versity Of Maryland when it was
revealed that the walkout from
classes was scheduled for the same
hour that the Reserve Officers
Training Corps holds its bi-weekly
drill.
Ordinarily classes at the uni
verSity may be cut with a fair de-
gree of impunity, a reasonable
number of unexcused absences
not having any apprecic BILE effect
upon the students final grade, but
the military department operates
on a "demerit" system, and each
cut class counts off from the stu
dents final grade.
Since the R. o. T. C. unit COM
prises over third of the student
body at Maryland, leaders of the
walk-out are expressing fears for
the effectiveness of the movement
at that college.
Joseph Jaffee, 81 M st. S. w.,
the leader of the strike a. Mary
land, last week wrote a long
open forum" letter in the Dia-
mondback, student newspaper,
asking the cooperation of that
paper and of the student body in
the anti.war movement, but re-
ceived in return only an editorial
questioning and ridiculing his mo-
tives in calling the strike.

Chairman Rayburn Of the

mittee today denied he had en-
tered into a private agreement
to modify the Administration bill
abolishing public utility holding
companies by 1910.
He said:
ut has been reported by a

that / have entered such an
agreement. No agreement on
this bill has been made by me
with any one"
Meanwhile, representative of
large oil companies, headed by
Ralph w. Gallagher, Of the

the bill.
Mr.. Gallagher warned that en-
actment of the measure would
seriously damage his company's
investors and stop completely de.
velopnent of pipe lines to dis
tribute natural gas to distant con-
sumers. He added:
"The pipe lines in which
Standard has an interest could
not have been built without
holding company backing. This
bill cOmpels the diSintegratiOn
of natural gas properties which
for 81 years have been in the
ownership of Standard"
He contended the bill is so
sweeping that, through its pro-
posed regulation of the gas in
dustry, it also would hamper oil
companies.
He said:
Restrictions which would be
placed by the bill on oil COM
panieS are so hampering and so
drastic that an oil company

HOOVER, SMITH.
MAKE DATE

NEW YORK, April 9 G.N.S).
Herbert Hoover and Alfred E.
Smith, those two bitter political
enemies of pre-depression days,
have more than a speaking &C.
quaintance today. They have a
date for tomorrow.
Mr.. Smith re m ! n d e d Mr.
Hoover of it as they said goodbye
last night after the two of them
had opened a Salvation Army
drive, meeting for the first time
since 1927 (they never met in
the battle of 1929.
"WelI, goodbye, Mr.. Presi-
dent"
So said Mr.. Smith with the
courteous Tammany habit of al
ways comforting upon a man the
title of the most distinguished
office he has ever held just as
Mr.. Smith himself is still Gov
ernor" to all his friends and fol-
lowers. Mr.. Smith added:
"T'Il see you Wednesday at
the meeting at our usual place
in Madison Avenue"
Mr.. Hoover, smiling, just said:
Goodbye"
Mr.. Smith was referring to the
board meeting of the New York
Life Insurance Company and as
an old director of a years stand
ing was doing his best to welcome
the new one indicted last month.
An invitation of the Salvation
Army accepted by both had
wrecked the carefully laid plans
of the insurance company'S pub
licity department to have the
political enemies meet for the
first time before photographers
at a board meeting. Instead the
epochal meeting occurred last
night in one of the reception
rooms of New York's Seventh
Regiment Armory.
