Neutrality Repeal Delay
PeriIs u. s., Castle Warns
By the Associated Press.

REHOBOTH BEACH, Del. Sept.
9-William r. Castle, former Un-
dersecretary of State, declared last
night the United States should re-
scind the so-called neutrality law
and return frankly to the tried and
tested principles of international
law"
In a speech before the Delaware
Bankers Association. Mr.. Castle
said repeal of the Neutrality Act
would do away with the foolish and
dangerous arms embargo which ap-
pears to work against the democratic
nations only and will in time, there
fore, excite such disgust at home
that Congress will be forced to
change it." A change later, Mr..
Castle warned, might well involve
us in war"
Mr.. Castle said the United States,
as a neutral nation, should make
certain that our Government Off
cials speak softly to other nations
a rule which he said "has been all
too often broken during the last
years"
The Government also should re-
frain from provocation in acts" Mr..
Castle declared AS examples he
cited the denunciation of the jap
anese-American trade agreement
and the detention of the Bremen.

Naval Academy Medical
Test Changes Urged

Development of plan which
would permit candidates for the
United States Naval Aca DENY to get
their final physical examinations for
entrance before they leave their
homes has been recommended to
the President by the Board of Visi-
tors of the institution. Such a plan,
it was pointed out, would avoid
inconvenience. disappointment and
expense to the young men who
failed upon arrival in the entrance
medical examination.
The board further said it be-
lieved that the conditioning of the
entering class during the first sum-
mer would be more effective if all
fourth classmen were on the grounds
by July l of their entering years.
The development of the physical
examination plan was considered
important, as it is realized that
many young men receive serious
disappointment when they are
passed in their preliminary physi-
cal examinations and then go
to the academy set on starting a
naval career only to find, as result
of the examination by the naval
medical officers, that they have
some physical defect which will not
let them by.
The board has approved recon-
mendation by Comdr. W. j.
Larson, secretary of the Academic
Board, containing certain changes
in the academy's entrance re-
quirements, such, for instance, as
the elimination of ancient history.
The board suggested that the
academy authorities give early
consideration to modifying the
existing regulations for admission
by the substantiating and regular
examinations so far as to have all
candidates for admission meet the
same requirements, such as gradu-
ating from an accredited high
school, or equivalent education in
the case of candidates from the
Naval Service or Naval Reserve, and
the submission of IS units of accept
able high school credits, of which 10
units would be as follows: English, 8;
mathematics, 4: physics, l. chemis-
try, l. and American history, /. with
the remaining five units to be of
an acceptable secondary course of
study. The board also recon-
mended satisfactory achievement on
three qualifying examinations given
by the academy in English, mathe-
matics, combining algebra, plane and
solid geometry and trigonometry,
and physical science, combining
physics and chemistry.
The purpose of these qualifying
examinations will be to get selec-
ton of entering candidates who have
reasonable chances of moving sue
cessfully through the academic re-
quirements of the academy four
year program.

the local Guard the militia oficials
have taken steps to make certain
that residents of this city get some
credit for this, so that some one out
side of the city cannot get one of
the appointments, although in his
