Georgetown 10 Get
New President 10
Replace DR.. 0'Leary
Successors Name
To Be Revealed to
Faculty Tonight

A change in the presidency of
Georgetown University will take
effect tonight on orders received
from Jesuit headquarters in New
York, providing for the transfer
of the Very Rev. Arthur A..
OLeary, S. j., to other duties.
He has been president of the uni
versity and chairman of its board
of regents since 1925.
His successor and DR.. OLeary's
new duties will not be made known
to members of the faculty until an
nounced this evening.
While it was felt the Georgetown
president would not continue in
in Office much longer, the change
before the end of this academic year
January 81 comes somewhat as a
surprise. His six-year term expired
last spring but he was retained in
Office temporarily.
DR.. OLeary celebrated completion
of Is successive years on the George
town faculty last Monday OF these,
18 had been spent as professor of
ethics and professor of philosophy
He is SIS and a native of Washington
1t was believed that the change
was made at this time so that a
successor would be able to assume
duties at the start of the new edu-
cational program which the armed
services will undertake in co-opera-
ton with American universities.

Plane Workers Await
Strike Pledge Release
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
SAN DIEGO, Calf, Dec. IT,
Seven thousand union employees of
the Consolidated Aircraft Corp. i'm
patient over delay in negotiation
for a wage increase, today awaited
a decision from President Roose-
welt on their request for release
from no-strike pledge.
Although the union-Aircraft
Lodge ll25 (AFL)-authorized a
strike vote if the President grants
the request voted last night, Presi-
dent H. C. Brown said it did not
necessarily mean a strike But
we don't appreciate others taking
advantage of us because we have
given up our strongest economic
weapon" he said.
The union is asking 95 cents an
hour for beginners instead of the
current 60-cent level. Paul R.
Porter, Government representative
at aircraft wage stabilization hear
ings, has delayed decision on the
matter, Mr.. Brown charged.

Italians Planning
To DemiHturize
|City of Rome
1y the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BERN, Dec 1S.-The Italians are
planning to remove all military OBJ
iectives from Rome in an effort
to avoid Allied bombings which al
ready have devastated northern in
dustrial cities and are beginning to
wreak havoc in the port of Naples,
a Swiss news dispatch reported to-
day.
The Rome correspondent of the
Neue Zuricher zeitung said that
the Pope, who once stated that he
would not leave Vatican City for the
duration of the war, favored such a
solution.
The Fascist government already
has announced 1t was considering
the removal of some of its offices
from Rome, the correspondent
wrote.
In addition to st. Peters, the city
has more than 400 other churches.
The dispatch pointed out that even
the most careful bombing of the
italian capital, even though it
spared Vatican City, could not
avoid doing irreparable damage to
churches and works of art. Monu-
ments, columns and arches, though
now sheathed in steelwork and ce-
ment, could not sustain even a near
hit from modern bomb.
