Chamberlain To Offer Mussolini Last Chance

shown that he thinks it is now the dictatofE turn to make some contfi- button to his appeasernent policy. If this is not forthcoming from both Adolf Hitler and Mtissolini soon, Chamberlain may De iinpelled to give up the policy which led to the resignation of Anthony Eden as foreih1 minister and to world wide criticism of the Munich accord.
 In private conFersation with friends recently, Chamberlain jok- ingly indicated his present frame of mind by telling the story of an old lady with an umbrella who, plir- sued . lion, suddenly turned, op- ened the tifnhtella and frightened the Hon.. which turned tail. Chan- herlaiii concluded his story enilinE- iy:: "A1d I'm taking my umbrella to Rome"
 Turning Point In Tension
 Thus the Chamberlain -Mussolini conversations may mark the turning poant in European diplomatic ten Sion, which relaxed for 6 while after Munich but has been rising again during the lest few weeks. This ten- sion $ due 10 uncertainty and gef1- egal fear that the diCtatOrs are plotting another move in the spring which will again shake Europe. It is not based on ,- anything specific and opinions differ widely as to what the move may be. Nevertheless the man in the street seems to have decided that March will be the crit ical month.
 Since Munich there has been a re- markable psychological transforma- tion of government and public opin- ion and this undoubtedly will exert its effect upon the future of British policy. The attitude and actions of Hitler and Mussolini in the three months since Munich, which Great Britain hoped would mark the be- ginning of an era of peace for our time," have graysly disilutibneti leaders of public opinion and the masses of the people.
 Sequel Is Bitter Tale
 Even J. L. Gravirl, editor of the sunday newspaper, OpServer, one Of the most enthusiastic supporters of the Munich agreement and long perhaps the most vacal advocate of friendship with Italy and Germany, now admits that the sequel to the Munich conference Is a bitter taie.s
 Factors which have contributed to the psychological alteration include provocative speeches by Hitler and his propaganda minister, Paul Jo- seph Goebbels; German official and press attacks upon Anthony Eden and Earl Baldwin, Chamherlain'S predecessor as prime minister, cul- Ininating in the characterization of Baldwin by one newspaper as . gutter snipe; German press charges of British atrocities" in Palestine and an accumulation of other pin bricks which finally led Chamber lain to say that he was still wait ing for 2 sign" from Germany that she would contribute to appease- ment.

 Cause 6f situation !.
 The unique situation developed from the school committees failure to put into effect a % per cent salary reduction provided in the 1888 city budget after approval in the nations farst municipal plehisicte last April. As a result, scheol funds became ex- hausted Oct. 3i and. the teachers went payless during November and December. When January rolled around, the school committee dis covered that under a new state law they could spend In anticipation of budget approval only the average of the amount spent during the last three months of the preceding year.
 Payless Holiday
 Thus, instead of $23,B0O as usual being available, only $sS0o could De spent legally during January. Though this would cover maintenance costs, the school committee voted last night to close the school and give the teachgrs . payless holiday until fur ttler funds are provided, including enough money to pay salaries.
 The committee ignored Kaile's of- fer of cooperation" which t was believed might have included 8 promise to provide in the 1889 budget sufficient funds to pay over due January salaries.
 Kane Wins Skirmish
 The initial skirn,ish today went to Kane, in that he prevented the sounding of the tho school'' signal under threat to suspend any fireman who tootled the whistle. = ~
 Fire Chief Michael Kane, who hap pens to be q brother of the mayor, said he would see that the mayors ban was needed.
 'The mayor Is the boss of the city," the chief said.

 The same situation prevailed later at the grammar schools.

 What may be one of the most im- pOrtant pieces of legislation con- Sidered by the 1939 Legislature is the Culhane measure setting up a law similar to the federal Wages mad Hours Act. There would be a floor for wages and ceiling for hours.

to avail herself of @ clause in the Brttish- German naval treaty to practically double her submarine tonnage. This spot lighted the fact that Germany already possesses more submarines, in number, than does Britain. Millions of British still recall from personal experience 1928 when German submarines nearly starved Britain; and Ger nlany's decesion started them think ing hard.
 Germany's renewel wave of anti Jewish activities was another size- able element in a definite alienation of public opinion.
 Still other factors which have in- tensified the movement of opinion against the dictarotrships, include Mussolini's renewed intervention in Spain, where Italian troops form the spear head of the present in- surgent offensive in Catalonia; Mussolini's deliberately fomented squabble with France over Tunis and Djibouti, including bitter anti French press campaign against Bfitain's ally, launched after Cham heflain's visit was announced.

Marshall charges that a great
many college football rules were
placed on the books for selfish rea-
sons. Coaches who wanted to capt.
talize on their own strength or their
opponents weaknesses inaugurated
a new rule. He charged specifically
that goal posts were moved back of
the goal post lines not to protect
the players but to handicap the foes
of rule committee coaches whose
squads were scheduled to meet clubs
with better kickers.
On the other hand, Stage feels
that the rules of the college game
are settled to their permanent form.
There will be no further rapid and
radical changes. During his SO years
as a coach he has watched the game
develop from the kicking to the car
rying to the razzle-dazzle game. He
remembers the 15-man team. He
remembers when the playing field
was first called gridiron. He was
on the Yale team when smuggling was

A RTURO GODOY of Chile, a
rough, rugged mountain Indian,
will face Heavyweight Champion
Joe Louis February in that dusky
gentleman's ninth title defense.
It would be an exaggeration to
say that more than per cent of the
nations citizens have ever heard Of
Senior Godoy. However, Promoter
Mike Jacobs emphasizes that the
Chilean twice beat Tony "Roll Out
the Barrel Galento during the In
dams U. S. campaign in 1887.
Godoy, whom you'll recognize as
being timid and reticent, shyly re-
marked:
"I'n knock him out. He can't
take it. But I can. I'll prove to
the world that Louis is not the in
vincible man everybody tries to
make him out"
Though he didn't understate his
ability to absorb punishment, Godoy
is really one of the toughest fighters
of modern times, ranking along with
Tommy Farr of Wales. He has new
er been knocked out, or fi0ored,
though he was stopped once be-
cause of cuts in a novice fight.
Thirty years old, Godoy punched
his way into the limelight in 1896
by knocking out ancient, decrepit
Angel Firpo in the tenth round. Fir
pc, if you remember, was the brawl-
er who knocked Jack Dempsey out
of the ring in '23.
Jacobs forgot to mention that the
contender was outpointed here by
Roscoe Toles and Nathan Mann.
