President Hits
odd Nam Rule
By High Court
BY the Associated Press.

BY lbe Associated Press.
President Roosevelt, who likes to
coin phrases, borrowed one last night
from Secretary Ickes. He spoke of
the "odd man" on the Supreme Court
in referring to 5-to-4 decisions.
Ickes used the term last April 10 in
a Chicago address. in which he said ::
Don't let the odd man nullify your
vote of last November"
Mr.. Roosevelt, discussing occasions
on which the Supreme Court had
changed previous rulings, commented: :
For 20 years the odd man on the
Supreme Court refused to admit that
State minimum laws for women were
constitutional
"A few months ago, after my mes
sage to the Congress on the rejuvena-
ton of the judiciary, the odd man
admitted that the court had been
wrong-for all those 20 years-and
overruled himself"
His reference was to Justice Rob-
erts' joining with four other justices
last April to uphold a Washington
State wage law after having voted
previously against such statutes.

LEXINGTON, Va, September l8.-
William E. Dodd, United States AM
bassador to Germany, declared yester-
day my greatest fear is that we will
have another World War and there is
hardly any possibility of any nation
escaping it."
If men could only "be Christians we
could escape another war" Ambassador
Dodd told Washington and Lee Uni
versity students in an address at the
formal opening of the 1S9th session OF
the school
Departing from his prepared text
Ambassador Dodd said that besides the
danger Of another war the Younger
generation faces the possibility of a
difficult future because of reduced en-
ployment in the machine age and its
accompanying demands for readjust-
ment.
The Ambassador, introduced by DR..
Francis P. Gaines, president of the
university, declared the minority had
abused its authority in political and
social life.
If minority domination of strategic
activity continues we are in grave
danger of losing the ideal political and
social life for which our ancestors
have contended since the first half of
the seventeenth century," he said
The Constitution never intended
that the minority principle of COM
promise between large and small
States should govern" he declared.

Substitute Peace ReSoIu-

LOUISVILLE, KY, September 18-
With both sides claiming victory, dele
gates to the eighty-first annual con-
vention of the International Typo
graphical Union ended their week-long
session yesterday without a direct
vote on the question of c. I. O.-A. F.
of l.. affiliation.
At the closing session the printers
adopted virtually unanimously a sub
stitute peace" resolution suggesting
the American Federation of Labor
amend its constitution so that the fed
GRAFTON would have nothing but ad-
visory powers over the member unions,
thus leaving organizing work open to
the unions themselves. The I. T. u,
however, remains an American Fed
GRAFTON of Labor affiliate.
Both sides declared that the reso-
luton. which was offered by a COM
mittee as substitute for several
others demanding withdrawal from the
federation and affiliation with the
Committee for Industrial Organization,
was the first real peace move made
between the rival factions.
They pointed out that under it the
federation could act as adviser, leaving
the way clear for the G. 1. O. to
organize the unions.
The independent" faction of the
union offered list of candidates for
election next May headed by Claude
M. Baker of San Franciso, at present
first vice president He will oppose
Charles Howard of Indianapolis, leader
of the ''progressives" and for the last
10 years president of the l. T. U.
The independents oppose Howard,
a secretary of the C. I. O., also on his
stand on union affiliation. They wish
to submit the question of a referen-
dunn to the unions 10000 members.
Administration of the Union Print
ers' Home at Colorado Springs was
brought before the convention as the
Howard forces defeated a move to
have an investigation of the home and
the superintendency of James Mccoy
and his wife, who serves as matron.
Although several delegates de-
manded ito know the truth" about
these persistent rumors" as to the
home and its administrators, Howard
and his secretary treasurer, Woodruff
Randolph, weathered the attack after
supporters of a minority report had
said that McCoy's attitude before the
Printers Home Committee here had
caused committeeman to withhold
commendation.

URGED
TO COMBAT FORCE
Is Only Means of Fighting
Modern Methods, Says
Dr.. Marvin.

Education is the only weapon to
combat modern methods of gaining
national or even personal ends
through force, Cloyd H. Marvin, presi-
dent of George Washington Univer-
sity, said last night in an address at
the first faculty meeting of the new
academic year.
Under the guise Of loyalty, jeal-
ousles, hatreds, political schemings,
and the assumption of power, nations
are making pronouncements that dull
our hearing to the piteous calls of
those who would avoid the destruction
of war;" said DR.. Marvin.
I'VE live in time when strife seems
to be the order of the day. Employers,
employees, artisans, farmers, profess
sional men, politicians, races and ma
tions-in fact, every social group
seem to be intent upon conquest by
might. This is the result of the three
chief enemies of mankind, ignorance,
Incompetence and intolerance.
"Only in education is there to be
found the long sought moral equiva-
lent for the gaining of causes through
destructive force. Where there is
education there is enlightenment, there
is competence, there is tolerance, and
above all, loyalty to those ideals that
make life worth while.
Those of us who live under the
Constitution of the United States have
an inherited fundamental understand
ing of the part that education must
play in the maintenance of our So
ciety," he said.
I'VE look across the sea and observe
the totalitarian state with it's energy
bent upon building up an interna-
tional front and maintaining better
material conditions, usually at the
cost of the breaking down of those
human idDa1s which have contributed
to the highest development of man.
Totalitarianism is not of our think
ing" DR.. Marvin declared.

all branches of the university. En-
rollment will continue on Monday and

The century-old power and prestige
