them wider authority.

ted by the changes.

charge of the highway testing
laboratory under E. B. Donohue,
state engineer who resigned to
re-join the highway department
as materials engineer.
M. ]. Steers was promoted to
planning engineer; H. B. Will
liams was promoted to road
plans engineer from his former
position of chief craftsman;
Ray Percy was promoted to con-
struction engineer from division
engineer at LeWiStOWn.
S. A. Ramey, statewide loca-
ton engineer, was retained in
that position, and Harold G.
Dean, attorney for the highway
commission and highway patrol,
was given the additional duties
of right-of-Way attorney and
secretary of the commission. A,
G.. SWaney remained as right
of-way agent and Earle O. Par
sons as right-of-way engineer,

Yale Plans 10 Carry On
In Face Of Strike Threat
Rr The Associated Press.


NEW HAVEN, Conn. Nov. g.
Yale University, faced with a strike
Monday by its janitors. maids, cam
pus police and other maintenance
workers in a controversy over
union shop demand, announced TO-
night that every effort Will De
made" to operate the institution
despite such action.
University officials said in a for
NAL statement that the Employees
Local No. l42 &C. I. o. decided to
call a strike despite repeated Ell
forts by the University to work OUT
q reasonable and mutually accept
able basic agreement with the
union"
Because of it's responsibility to
the student and faculty members OF
the University the statement read,
"the 1.7O0 other employees who want
to work. and to the public. every
effort will be made to operate the
University despite strike action
The university respects the rights
Of its non-union employees just as
much as it does the rights of the
union members.
The university, if it agreed to
the union shop, would force these
non-union employees to join the
union and pay dues against their
will. This would be an unjust
interference with the right OF en-
ployes to join or not to join the
union. There is no place for such
compulsion in the relations OF the
university and its employees.
"The university, finally, will not
agree to the union shop because 1t
places unwarranted restrictions on
the hiring of employees and the di-
rection of their work"
Over 300 employees voted to strike
at a mass meeting last night, with
Organizer John j. Clark, who SAID
picket lines would be formed on the
campus here and at the Yale Club
in New York City, predicting that
more than $50 of the university's

in the history of Yale.

Berlin Catholic
.CathedraI's Dean
Jailed by Nazis
Rev. Bernhard Lichtenberq
Is Accused Of Offering
Prayers for Jews
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BERLIN, Nov. 8.-The Rev. Bern
hard Lichtenberg, dean of st. He'd
wigs Roman Catholic Cathedral
here and sometimes representative
of the Bishop of Berlin, has been
arrested by German secret police
and is being held in Ploetzensee
prison in the northwestern section
of the city, reliable sources said to-
day.
These sources said he had been
in custody for two weeks, accused
among other things of offering
prayers for Jews against whom in
tensive Nazi measures recently have
been renewed.
His sermons, it was said, also un-
doubtedly figured in his arrest as
they did last summer in his Ques-
| tioning by the Gestapo.
At that time he was called to the
secret police headquarters for ques-
1 tioning about sermons in which he
supported criticisms that the Cath
olic Bishop of Muenster, the Most
Rev. Count Clemens August Won
Galen, directed against the Nazis
and the Gestapo in particular.
The Bishop of Muenster began his
attacks on Nazi-ism as early as 1884
when he decried persecution of the
Catholics in Germany.
AS recently as last September 10
the outspoken bishop denounced
what he said was the killing in
Germany of persons deemed 'un-
worthy to live" because they were
"unproductive"
He said in sermon later cir
culated through the Reich by chain
letters that according to reliable
information lists are now being
made up in the sanatoriums and
asylums in the province of West
phalia of such patients who as So
called ''unproductive countrymen"
| are to be taken away and in a
short time deprived of their lives. -
