HARVARD PROPS.
 LABOR MEMBERS

Cambridge, Mass, October "A - (UP) - Forty faculty members of Harvard University and Massachu- sets Institute of Technology have joined the American Federation Of Labor.
 The group of liberal instructors last night organized the Cambridge Union of University Teachers ito reduce the segregation of teachers from the rest of the workers who constitute the great mass of the community and increase thereby the sense of common purpose among them"
 The union, similar to one formed recently at Yale, denied any radical leanings. All members of the board of directors are widely-knoWn lib- erals, including Professor Kirtley F. Mather, who at first refused to take the teachers oath of allegiance to the state and national constitutions, but later changed his mind.
 Others are Albert Sprague Cool idge, chemistry instructor and one time socialist candidate for secre- tary of state of Massachusetts; Pro- lessor Max Lerner; Lincoln Farley, economies instructor at Massachu- setts Institute of Technology; David w. Prall, assistant professor and tutor in philosophy at Harvard, and Allen R. Sweezy, economies instruc- tor at Harvard.

'MUSSOLINI MAY 1
 PROPOSE AGAIN.
Italy Still Hopeful That Some Peaceful Plans Can
 Be Discovered
BY STEWART BROWN

(COpyright 1885, By United PresS)
 Rome, Oct. 24(UP)-Italy has hope that during the next seven days there may be found basis for business discussions to end the Ethiopian crisis. It was reported today that Premier Benito Mlssoli- nj was considering whether to make new proposals. These would be aimed at effecting the postpone ment of application of further pen- alties against Italy, which are to be considered at Geneva October 31.,
 He Won't Give In
 The difiiculty was that Mussolini has shown no disposition to give in to the League of Nations and that there is believed to be little chance that application of penal ties will be delayed unless he makes a conciliatory proposal. There was an unmistakable atmosphere of hope here, however. A foreign of- flee official said there was an un- confirmed report that four British warships were leaving the Medit- terranean-a response to Mussoli- nis offer to withdraw one division of troops from Libya.
 Not Much Progress
 The spokesman admitted that the progress made was not yet of 8 prac- tical nature but he intimated that there was hopes for a practical ad- vance soon. Mussolini's distaste for league of nations penalties was shown clearly when the spokesman warned warmly against the. opera ton of penalties during any ne- gotiations. There can be no real room for optimism until the sane tions (penalties) machinery is ar- rested" he said.

RADIUM ADDRESS
 HEARD BY NURSES

Connecticut nurses, meeting in New London yesterday for the fall assembly of the Connecticut State Nurses Association, heard author ities in their field, speaking on the educational needs of nurses, give present-day information on rebuild ing undergraduate nurse curricu- lums. and on available post-gradu- ate courses.
 In an address on Radium before the Private Duty Section of the As- sociation, Emma E. Spencer, Hart ford radium technician, described the use of radium in Hartford by the late Dr. Arthur c. Heublein with whom she was associated, who was one of the early physicians to own and use radium. Radium erna- nation from the plant purchased at that time, now belonging to the Hartford hospital, is used in treat ment by that institution. The dis covery of radiun, made public in 1898, was due, Miss Spencer said, to the untiring efforts of one of the great women of history, Madam Cu- rie, French scientist, 8 "sfy, re- served woman" who with no money, no suitable laboratory and no per- manent help" presented to the world this invaluable therapeutic agency.

Woman in Case

New York City, Oct. 24-(UP)- A theory that Arthur Dutch Schultz) Flegenheimer and three of his aides, two of whom were fatally wounded, were put on the spot" by a woman, was investigated by police today.
 The woman, smartly clad in a brown velvet ensemble and a silver fox neck piece, was with the notori- ous gang leader for a half-hour just before he was shot down in a Newark bar last night, authorities said.
 Police were informed the woman in brown appeared at the Palace chop house, scene of the shooting, about three-quarters of an hour be- fore the killers.
 Flegenheimer'S companions, ap- parently on the lookout outside for him, escorted her to his table in- side. Flegenheimer and the woman sat in a rear booth for half an hour.
 She Departed
 She departed and the gunmen ar- rived.
 Police theorized that she might have been sent to Flegenheimer to make sure he was available and to detain him while his assailants per- fected arrangements for the shoot ing and the getaway.
 Ofiicials here inclined to the be- lief that rival local gangsters were behond the shooting despite infor- nation from Cincinnati which indi- cated that Berman, race track tout, had run afoul with Detroit's purple gang.
 Police from the Ohio city said they understood certain members of the purple gang came into Cincin- natl Wednesday, muttering intima- tons they were "double-crossed" by Berman.
