EAMON DEVALERA'S
LIFE THREATENED
Prime Minister Under
Heavy Guard; Release of
IRA Members Sought

Prime Minister canon de Valera
was heavily guarded today following
two threats on his life, presumably
by the oatlawed Irish Republican
army.
SO thorough was the guard, that
armed detectives were near by when
he took his meals and trailed him
wherever he went. An armed guard
was placed around his home.
The threats were received after he
told the Dali on Thursday that 1t
was impossible to release four men,
bers Of the Irish Republican army
from prison who are In serious con-
dition from self-imposed hunger.
One threat was made by letter.
The other was at meeting outside
Dublin prison where a speaker
stated: IF any men on hunger strike
die. then De Valera will also die"
One Of the four men--Patrick Nc
Grath, leader Of the Republican
army In Dublin, was so extremely
weak physicians feared he would die.
He has had no solid food since Oc-
tober 20, but has taken water.
De Valera pointed out to the Dali
that releasing prisoners because they
wouldn't eat, meant that the state
could not protect itself by irnprison-
ing its enemies because no prisoner
would eat.

Closer inspection, if you have the

The two outside ones are usually

Because of the air. -mindedness of

George N. Shuster
Chosen as Dean of
Hunter ColIeae

Along about the time when Notre

by Knute Rockne for his varsity
football players, but, on the other
hand, of parts quite satisfactory to
the faculty of the institution Just

was drinking with ardor from the
educational font.
So, while stalwart young men on
Cartier Field were preparing for.
coaching jobs throughout the Ma.

Lancaster, Wis, together with many
other undergraduates, was looking
toward more significant participa-
ton in life's affairs.
Graduated with the class of 1915.
As years old the middle of next
month, young Shuster had hardly
settled down to his career when the
United States entered the World
War. He served in the intelligence
section of general headquarters in
France. From 1920 to 1925 he was
chairman OF the department of Eng
lish at Notre Dame and in 1925 be-.
came first associate editor and then
managing editor of The Common
veal. He resigned his executive
position last year to become con-
tributing editor.
The author of many books on lit,

gagged in definitive study of the
Weimar Republic under a special
grant from the Carnegie Corn

Council, he Is now working for his
doctorate from Columbia University
