Bar Exams for 400
Involved in Dispute

A controversy over the quallflca-
tionE of approximately 400 Washing
ton law students for admission to
bar examinations June 20 has arisen
between the Admissions Committee
of the District Bar Association and
authorities of Southeastern and Co.
lunbus Universities, 1t was under
stood last night.
Students affected by the disagree
ment are those who completed their
first-year courses during specially
arranged terms at the two schools
from January through August of
1899.
Officials OF the institutions have
charged that the students are faced
with refusal of the committee to
accept their applications for the
Forthcoming bar examinations on
the ground that the special term
does not constitute recognized year
of study.
Justices of District Court, who
were sent copy of a protest filed
by one of the school heads with
the committee, are expected to meet
this week to settle the question.
DR.. James A. Bell, president of
southeastern, said last night he had
been given written assurance in the
fall of 1888 by the late Paul Earnest.
committee chairman at that time,
that credits of students enrolling in
the prospective special term would
be recognized by the committee. DIR.
Bell added that he later received
a second communication from Mr..
Earnest stating the committee had
noted approval of the program. The
special terms were arranged to allow
students an opportunity to enroll
before new qualifications for ad-
mission became effective.
Similar classes were arranged at
Columbus. DR.. John r. Fitzpatrick,
head of the later institution, said
last night he had forwarded a writ
ten protest to the committee and
sent copy of the protest to Chief
Justice Wheat of District Court.
"Inasmuch as I have taken this
action, would not care to make
any further statement" he added.
Col. Walter C. Clephane, present
chairman of the Admissions Com
mittee, said the committee has taken
no action on applications of STU
dents involved in the discussion and
that action would be held up pend

Germans Shaken by Hess
FIioht, Morrison Says

LONDON, May II R,.-Respon-
sible Britons left it still anybody's
guess tonight why Rudolf Hess flew
to Britain one week ago, but Home
Security Minister Herbert Morrison
declared: 1T doesn't. matter what
kind of animal he is-whether he
is rat No. !, Trojan horse or just a
giant panda over here in the vain
hope of finding innocents to play
with-the main thing Is, ne Is
Gagged"
Referring to Hess as this gang
ster in our hands" Mr.. Morrison
said Whatever his reasons for COM
ing here the German people are. to
put it mildly, very much shaken by
the whole episode.
Meanwhile, We have seen the very
edifying spectacle of DR.. Goebbels
German propaganda minister)
spending the last few days revolving
rapidly on his Axis-chasing his own
tail, as it were"
Members of parliament and others
made comments in similar vein.
The British Broadcasting Co. de-
voted its German-language pro-
grams to talk of the unknown dis
closures" of Hess and to a sugges-
ton that Will MesSerschmitt. de-
signer of Germany's famous fighter
planes, has been included in a pro-
posed Nazi purge resulting from the
Hess case.
The broadcasts also said Hess few
to Scotland not in a MeSserschmitt
ITO fighter, as previously announced,
but in "one of the latest recon-
naissance planes, one not yet in
service with the Luftwaffe."
The press connected this with
cancellation of the plans to exhibit
the wrecked plane in Trafalgar
Square.

French Explanations
Appear 10 Relieve
Tension With j. ).
Viehy Says Negotiations
With Reich Cover Only
New Order Collaboration
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated freSS.
VICHY, France, May 17.-French-
American relations, which reached
the point of tension yesterday after
statements by President Roosevelt
and Marshal Petain, seemed tonight
to have relaxed, at least from the
French standpoint, as the result
of semi-offlcial French explana-
tions.
In Vichy the situation now ap-
pears to be simply this:
/. France is negotiating with Ger
many the details of extended col
laboration in what the Nazis call
new European order.
2. The United States, through Mr..
RooSevelt's statement of Thursday
evening. has advised France as
friend that the French situation as
result OF the arrnistice is under
stood, but that If the French posi-
ton is modified by the present
German negotiations in such way
as to direct French cooperation
eventually against the United
States, the American Government
will have to reconsider its posi-
tion.
3. The French insist that negotia-
tions up to the present relate only
to affairs concerning France and
Germany and In no way affect re-
lations between France and any
other foreign government, particu-
larly the United States.
Vichy Rumors Gained.
These French explanations appear
to have gone far toward calming
rumors current in Vichy for the
past "a hours that the United States
was ready to break of diplomatic
relations, that all Americans had
been warned to be ready to leave
France on short notice, and that
United States Ambassador William
D. Leahy would be called back to
Washington quickly for consultation
and vacation"
The official French news agency,
declaring there was talk of Brit
ish-American federation under
United States leadership, said that
if France had accepted British
Prime Minister Churchill's proposal
for a British-French union last
June "she might today be run not
from London, but from Washing
ton,' and I'VE would end up as the
citizens of a dominion twice re-
moved"
France alone is qualified to take
decisions which she considers COM
patible with her honor and her in
terests,' it said, land advice which
others would give her, particularly
from abroad, seems inopportune.
Dakar Defense Pledged.
A government statement said
France would defend Dakar against
any aggression" and that the ques-
tion of German occupation of that
West African base or of French
West Africa was not raised in last
weeks Hitler-Darlan interview.
American circles in Vichy are
frankly waiting to learn what
France is to concede to Germany,
even while they are accepting Mar
shall Petain's word that he will do
nothing to violate French honor.
1t is pointed out in Vichy that the
French have taken no military ac-
ton against the British for attacks
on Syrian airdromes, although it is
asserted here that the German plane
landings there are covered by armis-
tice clauses.

BERLIN, May l7.-Another turn
ing point in the German war effort
was indicated by many signs in Ber-
lin .onight. Everywhere there were
indications that the time is ripen-
ing for a new phase. 80
Authorized spokeSmen said that
all major German actions hereto
fore have been preceded by creative
pauses" and observed that such lulls
at the proper moment have been
converted into action. .t.
From other quarters have come
assurances that positions from
which the next blow is to be struck
have been reached" Events. it was
stated repeatedly, are racing along
swiftly. ..-
African Developments.
In this connection developments
on the North African front appeared
taking on considerable significance.
Here the Germans announced to-
day that Axis forces have recap
tured Salum. clay hut outpost on
the Libyan-Egyptian frontier which
has changed hands several times in
Ave weeks Of seesaw fighting, and
repulsed another attempt by the
British feet to attack Bengasi.
The high command said Salum,
where the Suez-bound German and
Italian drive pulled up April Is, was
occupied again after it had been
in British hands for a day. Fur
thermore it contended that all other
positions previously held by the Axis
forces again were retaken.
DNB, German official news
agency, reported that several British
transports were damaged by the
Luftwaffe at Tobruk, besieged Brit
ish garrison on the sea 80 miles
inside Libya. ..... .r..'
Warships Repulsed at Bengasi.
1t added that the Luftwaffe
turned back units of the British
Fleet before they could administer
another assault upon Bengasi, a
major Axis port of entry into North
Africa.
Foreign reports that German
flyers were in French-mandated
Syria were noted. There were no
denials or combinations, although
one authorized spokesman argued
that France would be perfectly JUS
titled from the point of view of
European unity in the fullest COL
laboration with Germany.
On the political side, meanwhile,
it appeared that Germany had
reached a workable understanding
with France, which possibly involved
the role which French colonial pos
sessions in the Mediterranean are
to play in the next phases of the
war
1t was emphasized that negotia-
tions with France still are incom-
plete, but from the German view
point the French attitude was pro-
nounced positive

NEW YORK, May 17.-Conflicting
statements on treatment of the

were picked up tonight from a Ger
man station identified by the Ma
tional Broadcasting Co.'s short-wave
listening post as DID In Berlin.
N. B. C. said that early in the
evening the Berlin station in the

South America had said that Hess
family would be treated "in accord
ance with Hess behavior and utter
ances in England" .....
About three hours later N. B. C..

its German language broadcast, di-
rected to listeners in the United

declared the family would be treated
in accord with Hess action in Eng

Authorized sources in Berlin said
yesterday that Frau Ilse Hess, the
