CHAMBERLAIN
P.ERILED BY
SECRETS LEAK
Crisis in Cabinet
Threatened

LONDON, June 30 QN.S0-A
sensation was caused in the House
Of Commons today when Duncan
Sandys, Conservative M. p, told
his colleagues he had been sum-
moned before military court Of
inquiry in connection with alleged
leakage of secret information con-
corning British aircraft defenseS.
Shock of his announcement was
not lessened when a few minutes
later Prime Minister Chamberlain
informed the house that War Min
lister Leslie Hore-Belisha had in
Structed the army council to sus-
pend the summons against Sandys.
SUMMONED TO COURT
Rising from his seat, Sandys
told the house he had received
orders from the army council to
appear in uniform in his capacity
as an officer Of the territorial
army before the military court to-
morrow.
Foes Of Premier Chamberlain
charged that the government was
trying to use the official secrets
act as q gag on Sandys' criticisms
Of the allegedly tagging reara-
ment program.
The government, some con-
tended, was less concerned about
learning the source of Sandy's in
formation than about silencing
embarrassing questions regarding
a possible shortage of antiaircraft
guns.
In the storm over the secrets
act, blowing while Chamberlain
was being attacked for refusing to
protect British shipping in Span
iSh waters, many parliamentarians
saw a grave threat of a cabinet
crisis.
BLASTS GOVERNMENT
Major Clement Attlee, Laborite
leader, criticized the government
for permitting a military court
to summon Sandys when the
same matter was scheduled for
consideration by the parliamentary
select committee.
Parliament is supreme!" pro-
claimed Sir Percy Harris. "The
executive must always be subor.
dinate to the Commons!"

 IN R. P.L. CLASSES

Connecticut still holds its place as number one state in the number of students, compared to population, at Rensselaer, Polytechnic Institute, Troy, N. r., oldest science and en- gineering school in the country, it was reported here tonight at the mid-winter meeting of Nauagtuck Valley Rensselaer, alumni.
 E. W. Siple, secretary of the insti- tute'S committee Of admissions, said that out of approximately 1900 stud- ents at Rensselaer,, 137 are from Connecticut, of them on scholar ships. Among Connecticut cities Bridgeport and Waterbury have contributed the largest numbers to freshman classes for several years.
 MT. Siple said the large proportion of Connecticut students occupying pIaceS of leadership or importance in extra-curricular activities at Rens- selaer was an indication not only of the character of the students them selves, but of sound ground work in Connecticut's high and preparatory schools. Although Connecticut's rep resentation in the student body is under 10 per cent, he said, Connec- ticut students make up 25 per cent of the executive committee of the Rensselaer, Union, the governing student body.
