eral Security administrator, urged
the creation of a great university
system in the Nations Capital by
collaboration of the existing insti-
tutions of higher education here.
Washington, Mr.. McNutt de-
clared, needs an educational revo-
luton"
He told his audience that Wash
ington alone. among all the great
capitals of the world, has no uni
versity which dominates and shapes
its intellectual life"

Mr. McNutt added, however, that
he did not discount the tremendous
specific contributions which the uni
versities of Washington have made" ."
He spoke of the contributions of
Georgetown University, George
Washington University, Catholic
University, American University, De-
partment of Agriculture Graduate
School, Brookings Institution. How
ard University and the University
of Maryland.
But" he continued. with all
Washington assets, with all these
great contributions of which every
university I have named can be
justly proud, we are still without
the controlling influence, that elu-
sive intellectual touchstone which
makes truly national university"
He said that these things were
worthy of exploration: Co-ordina-
ton of personnel, more effective
relationship to be developed with
the Library of Congress and the
scientific research facilities of the
Government" and the possible use
of joint examining boards
The security administrator. who
has jurisdiction over the United
States Office of Education, said that
there need be no loss of individual
identity for the collaborating insti-
tutions

WASHINGTON, Oct, 30.-State

Only 100 out of 1000 Americans
who appealed 10 the American

obtain transportation home have
been able to return to the United

patriate them in face Of Ger
many's fiat refusal to grant safe

State department officials feel
that the plight in which stranded

due entirely TO their own failure
to heed repeated warnings by the
American Embassy in London to
return home when transportation
was available.

NEW YORK, Oct. 30.-Willie
Bioff, whose word alone is so far
his only defense against a charge
of extorting $500 from top ex-
ecutives of the motion picture in
dustry, admitted another series of
perjuries today and met other eff
forts of the prosecution to destroy
his credibility with the answer:
81 can't remember"
On trial in the United States
District Court before Judge John
c. Knox, accused with George f.
Browne, president of the Inter-
national Alliance of Theatrical
Stage Employees of extortion on
threats to tie up the motion pic
ture industry with nationwide
strikes, Bioff has admitted receiv-
ing the money but claimed it was
in the capacity of message.
In attempting to show that the
Bioff oath is not always to be re-
lied on, United States Atty.
Matthias F. Correa, on cross-ex-
animation forced more admissions
of perjury to add to the five al
ready established.
Willie had various explanations
to offer for the previous false
statements, but insisted he was
telling the truth now. Under
questioning of Judge Knox he dis
posed of false testimony before a
Legislative committee in California
with the statement:
II have more respect for this
court than 1 did for that bunch
of Communists"

appeared that the witness was I'M
