C0NANT TAKES
ANOTHER DIG
AT NAILS

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, June "a
(IN.SO.-James Bryant Conant
president of Harvard University,
sporadically at odds with the Ger
man government since he turned
down a $1,000 scholarship offered
by DR.. Ernst Franz CPutzyD
Hanfstaengl three years ago, took
another dig at the Hitler regime
in his address to the Harvard
Alumni Association this afternoon
and he included Soviet Russia.
He declared:
"The groups who cast ia Oring
glanceS at either Russia or Ger
many are not unduly concerned
with the diSpaSSiOnate attempt
at clear thinking which has been
for generations the hallmark of
the university spirit.
APPEALS FOR LOYALTY
ITO those who believe that the
problems of today can be met
only by a radical transformation
of society, ." revolution from the
right or from the left, the future
of The American world of learn
ing il matter of small mo-
ment =.
But all those who still have
confidence in what this spirit
has to offer for the future Of
humanity will put the UNIVERSE
ties of this country in the fore
front of their thoughts.

for a loyalty greater than your
loyalty to Harvard, a devotion
to the cause of higher education

SEES SOCIALIST STATE
Chief speaker at the meeting,
retired Professor F. W. TausSig,
economist, uttered a restrained
prophesv that tbs present social
structure would endure for another
so years, but the year 2036 would
see perhaps" the full-fledged
socialist state.
DR.. Taussig predicted "the pres
ent social structure will endure;
private property, a community
more or less stratified, and-on
the political side - democracy,
elections, freedom of speech" But,
ne added, the sphere of the state
will have enlarged.

CIVIL SERVICE
PLAN PRAISED

Hearty approval of the revised
Government reorganization bill in
troduced in the Senate was ex'
pressed today by Luther c. Stew
ard, president of the National Fed
Grafton of Federal Employees,
largest Government union.
Steward particularly praised
provisions of the measure eltmi-
mating the Civil Service Commits
sion in favor of a single admialS-
traitor and placing all Federal
workers under the merit system
within a year after enactment via
non competitive examinations.
In a statement to 10000 mem
bers, he said:
I'VE are heartily in accord
with the provision for single
administrator to replace the
Civil Service Commission. This
step is definitely in line with the
best thought in public person
mel administration. Under this
plan we believe many essential
progressive steps can and will
be taken. However, in view Of
the great power which would
be lodged in the administrator,
we believe he should be chosen
on the basis of a competitive
examination as was recon-
mended originally by the Brown
low Committee"

They're whistles" At any rate they have a musical scale and by the end of the summer session at the Community center if a child has any latent musical ability it will out.
 Preliminary Study
 Mrs. Leila Alexander head of the center said that the main idea ln the beginners, the primary and the junior groups was to promote the idea of a study in rhythm. Towards this end many activities have been planned for the summer.
 In addition to all this the begin ners, all of whom are from 3 to 6 years of age, serve each other at lunch time. In all classes the mem bers do their own cleaning up of classrooms in a cooperative man. ner.
 But music is not the only thing which is taken up at the Pearl street headquarters. At the present time the members of the junior group are making an excellent model of a desert caravan out of cardboard, camels and the like. Group reading and the handicraft classes are also getting under way at the center.
 1O8 Pupils
 The classes are heald each morn ing with the 108 pupils being divid- ed into separate groups so that there can be a maximum of individual attention. Each day, following the formal sessions the members ot the staff have a short conference un- der the direction of Mrs. Leila AL exander, at which time the work ot the morning is discussed and plans made for the following day. Mrs Alexander is in charge of the be- giners' group, Miss Inez Alexander in charge of the primary group and J. Hummer Alexander in charge of the junior group. The members oi the IVA staff are Margaret Cope land, Cynthia Motte and Della Johnson. Announcement of special programs will be made at a later date.

Initiative Taken
 On Minimum Wages
Measure Passed in l933 Found Constitutional; Board
 to Meet to Affix Pay Rates in Various Industries

ven. Charles E. Cook of Hartford, John J. Egan of Bridgeport, At- torney Nathan Sachs of New Haven, and Rev. Merrill Clark of New Ca- naan.
 The wage board to be appointed will consist of nien members. The board will study the first industry selected and fix minimum wages for workers.
 The state labor department has completed surveys in the vomen's and mems undergarment and night clothing industries, in the mems clothing field and in laundries. One of these may be the first to feel the effects of the minimum wage law Passed In 1883
 The state law was passed in 1883 but was held in abeyance when ir l935 the supreme court ruled the New York state minimum wage statute unconstitutional. Enforce ment was then held up till thiS year, when the supreme court up- held the minimum wage law passed by the state of Washington.

 move is an open attempt to have but one slate of delegates proposed This would make the primaries a mere formality, with no ballotine being necessary except the casting of one vote at party headquarters In the event that more than one slate is proposed, balloting in the various wards will be necessary.
 Representation at the conventions will be as follows: first ward, three delegates and three alternates; sec- ond ward eight delegates and eight all ternates; third ward. eight delegates and eight alternates; fourth ward two delegates and two alternates; fifth ward, five delegates and five alternates.
 Endorse Own Slate
 The town committees plan is tc have its own slate of delegates en- dorsed and thereby prevent the city town and school conventions from being in control of party members opposed to the town committees proposal for fusion with the Inde- pendent Democratic party. Many republicans are opposed to fusion and believe that the party should nominate a full republican ticket.
 The town committees proposal is for Republican and Independent Democratic parties to name identi- cal lists of candidates. Senator George T. Culhane has been prom inently mentioned for place on the ticket but he has declined to state whether or not he would ac- cept such a candidacy.

 Rejected Foreign Aid
 As to volunteers, he said: The nationalist army has rejected sys- tematically all aid by foreign vol- unteers because 1t does not need them in it's work of rescuing Spain from the dominion of the reds and because of its evident technical and moral superiority. In October cer- tain offers of Irish volunteres were rejected. The red army. seeing it. self defeated, did not proceed in the same manner but organized recruit ment of foreign volunteers and suc- ceded in organizing many inter national brigades. Russia and some clements of the French popular front have been most efficient col- laborators of the so-called Valencia government. This foreign aid is the sole cause of prolongation of the war.

 Those instructions transmitted to congress in a letter to Senator Al- ben w. Barkley, D., Ky, added to the fury of congressional antagon- lsms. The White House letter stir red new feeling on the question of election of democratic leader to succeed Robinson.
 MT. Roosevelt acted quickly to minimize the emphasis which his letter appeared to place upon Bark ley as the administration favorite to succeed Robinson.
 The president conferred with Sen- ator Pat Harrison, D., Miss, who is the moderate or conservative candi- date for leader in contrast to Bark ley, who is unqualifiedly new deal.
 President Holds AIoof
 Harrison emerged from the White House with the announcement that MT. Roosevelt had said he would take no part in the senate's selec- ton of a leader, implying that the uniform Interpretation of his letter as boost for Barkley was unwar- ranted.
 The leadership squabble runs al- most parallel now with the senate court dispute. The alignment is not precise, but in general the demo- crats who oppose President Roose- welt on the court will vote for Har- rison and those supporting the president will vote for Barkley There are few exceptions to that on either side.

 They had, too, a new problem ana one which may be well threshed out by the time they return to the ca pitol Tuesday-the selection of a successor to the post of majority leader. Both Senator Alben Bark lev. D., Ky, acting leader. and Sem ator Pat Harrison, D., Miss, the two members most discussed for the post, were on the train, which car ried lO6 persons.
