Approximately 500 civilian de-

History Of Napoleon

that unless I mistake not, the
history of Napoleon, that is, re-
bellion against slavery, (wilD re-

In accepting an honorary doc

sity Of Cincinnati he said:
Among all the climbs of the
totalitarians, know of none great
er than the passions to which they
have harnessed the highest quail

CHASE NATIONAL
BANK IS INDICTED

NEW YORK. Jan. 12-lR-Indict-
roent of the Chase National Bank,
reputedly the largest commercial
banking house in the world, on
charge of engaging in illegal
sale and export of industrial dia-
n7onds in violation Of the trading
with the enemy act was announc-
cd today by Attorney General Bid
die.
The action was described by
Winthrop W. Aldrich, chairman of
the Chase board of directors, as
an outrage"
indicted on the same charge
by Federal Grand Jury was
Leonard j. A. Smit, a dealer in
industrial diamonds, and two cor
porations - Elsantum, Inc, and
Anton Smith, Inc.-controlled by
snlit. The dealer pleaded innocent
at arraignment here today and was
released in $1,000 bail for hearing
Feb. /.
Aldrich said in statement that
indictment of the bank simply
makes no sense
"All of the acts complained of"
he continued, happened before
Pearl Harbor and, therefore, be-
fore the United States entered the
war. The Chase National Bank,
like all other large banks, had
many thousands of transactions
which involved the Interpretation
of the foreign exchange regula-
tons. In carrying them out, we
were acting in the closest COOP
Grafton with the public authorities.
The indictment alleges that
the bank conspired to aid the
Axis. This is ridiculous. We are
no more guilty of such action than
is the Attorney General himself
and we resent having our reputa-
ton damaged in this manner.
What has been done in the
name of the administration of JUS
tice is plain outrage on the
home front and Grass stupidity on
the international front"
Attorney General Biddle said
earlier in Washington that Snit,
whom he described as Dutch
national, established Elsantum,
Inc, in Panama as non-Amer-
lean 'front.' for sales of diamonds
that reached Germany and Japan.

Those present were Tony Rinoski, Gene Fulton, Ted Dixon. Joe Kane, John Cawley, Jerry Villani, Bob Hulli- van, Lii Hansen, Francis Murphy. Steve TuneSki, Anthony CriStina, and Marion Merritt.
 President McGrath appointed a committee of three, composed of Frank Murphy, Gene Fulton and Steve Tuneski. to arrange for the Annual Athletic Club Banquet, which will be held at Club Wood- land Feb. 28.. Elaborate plans are being made and the aim of the committee is to have this banquet exceed any of the affairs held in previous years. The committee has contacted the Sport Editor of the Hartford Times as one of the speak CTS, and an effort is being made to have Navy official appear also.
 It was brought to the attention of the chairman that one of the club members had been acting in a non-cooperative manner. To avoid further misunderstanding, upon presentation of written proof of his disloyalty toward the Athletic Club and the club basketball team in particular, it was voted unanimous ly to remove William Haase from the office of Vice-President and from membership in the organiza- tion.

vS. DieSelS
Diesels HOOpsters
 To Play Sat. Mites

The Electric Boat basketball games, regularly held on Thursday nights, are to be moved to Satur- day until further notice. Many arguments, pro and con, are ex- tended as to the advisability of such a move, but the Diesels lean toward Saturday, in that Bob Cali han is available to play weekend games. Lieutenant Calihan, who is the handspring of the team of- fense, finds it difficult to get leave on week nights, so the switch in game nights is obvious.
 Neither Dutch" Garfinkel, for mer St. Johns star, and now with the Philadelphia Sphas, nor "Fuz- zy" Levane, another St. Johns Iu- minary. can make the Saturday night game. The Sphas play their regular home games in the Ameri- can League on Saturday night, which eliminates Garfiukel, while Levane has been playing Satur- days in Springfield since early in the season.
 "Mac" Kinsbruner, veteran of the Brooklyn Jewels and head of Physical Education in >the Brook 1yn School District; Red" Rosen, another member of the Philadel- phia Sphas, rated as the outstand- ing defensive player in the Amer ican League; Mike Bloom, player coach of Trenton; and Bob Fitzger- ald. with the New York Americans, have been contacted by the Diesel bosses and any of the four ball. players mentioned may see action under the New London banner in the near future.

brings together top collegiate and a good professional team. It is the old argument of condition ing versus experience. The Diesels do not stick to the strict profes- sional style of play, except on de- fense, when a man to man is used, but employ the fast break as do most college teams. The Dart mouth boys have had many more games this season than the locals, giving them an advantage in the conditioning department, but the Diesels have been working hard in anticipation of a tough evening.
 The Dartmouth starters will in- cIude Aud. BrindIey at center, who has averaged 27 points per game; Larry Baxter and Vernon Killick at forwards, and Paul Monohan and Joe Van Cisin at the guard spots. Monohan was picked as. an end on the Associated Press AL American team last season. Van Cisin was All-New England two years from Bassich High of Bridge port. The boys are all Navy train- ees at the University.
 The Diesels are seeking to add another man to their already pow erful squad, knowing that good substitutes may mean the differ ence between victory and defeat.
 Game time is 8;45, with 8 pre- lir,irarY contest going on at 7:l5.

This excellent booking came as a surprise to local fans who had not expected Manager Bob Hulli- van to live up to his prediction made earlier in the year as to bringing college teams to New London. The game is on, and Sat- urday night should find the Ar mory packed to the rafters. This isn't an ordinary college club, however. it is enc of the ranking collegiate teams of the country, de- feating most of the powerful East ern lives and having splendid country-w reputation.
