ANCE OF PEACE Ma
'TION'S cHiIiEF ExEEIt.
TIfH pEfI,AIREs, |

PRINCETON, N. j., June IT,
Universal military training Of
youth in the United States was
stressed today by President Tru-
man in an address he delivered al
the bicentennial exercises Of
Princeton University.
Honorary degrees were con-
ferred on him, General Dwight
10. Eisenhower, chief of staff;
Fred Vinson, chief justice of the
supreme court, and 80 othei
prominent Americans, from va
rious walks of life.
President Truman said that
military training in this country
was not for the purpose of being
ready for a possible war but for
the maintenance of peace. He
added that IL the United States
becomes weak militarily, it will
create q greater spirit of aggres-
sion in nations inclined in that
direction and create fear in weak
nations that are locking to the
United States for support.
He spoke about what President
Cleveland said in 1896. at Prince
tons sesquicentennial, about the
duty for universities to provide
more men for government serv-
ice. Since then, President Tru-
man said, the number of men
from colleges has increased in
government services, but added
that their number should be still
greater. He realized that the sal
aries of high officials in govern
ment services were altogether too
low, and advocatd that they
should be greatly increased so
that men Of high ability could be
able to serve the government and
at the same time. receive salaries
|on which they could live without
having to cramp themselves fl
'rlancially.

GENEVA. Switsarland. which
NJ wus virtually ;fgee Of Ilubor
disturbances during thel wur
und in the immediate postw0I
period. recently hos had q 60.
RES Of Localized strikes with
threats Of q general strike in
the building trodes.
There have been brief, local
strikes by plasterers and paper
hangers in Bern, Biel, Basel and
Lugano. Geneva has had strikes
in the building trades and in
matchmaking. Relatively weak
segments of the textile workers
unions have staged two strikes
in the Zurich area.
Throughout the canton Of
Zurich there was Z two-weels
strike Of physicians who said
that the fees paid under ihe
health insurance system were
inadequate.
In every instance the COM
|plaint has been that wage in
creases. have not kept UP with
living costs increases. The en-
ployers. making concessions in
some instances, have replied that
their production costs have in
creased, but that prices Of their
products are controlled by the
government.
The government explains
that the freeze on wages must
be maintained TO combat infla-
iion. and that price ceilings
must be observed 10 enable
the domestic consumer 10 buy
and to enable the exporter to
compete on the world market.
After weeks of negotiation, the
building trades unions, the con-
tractors and the federal concii-
alton board are still at variance
on questions Of wage increases
and hours of pay per week. The
contractors say that basic wages,
by means Of wartime premiums,
have been increased 55.4 percent.
The unions answered that pre-
war wages in building trades
were mot a living wage.
The Cancellation board has sug-
gested slight wage increases
which the unions have rejected.
Threats Of strikes In the
building trades have been al !.
arming because Switzerland.
as many other nations. has an
acute housing shortage.

Thaw tried the movies, both as

Would-be feminine stars, and ran
into legal complications again. In
late 1927 he took two New York
chorus girls to California in efforts
to gain them entrance, became dis
couraged and returned east. Soon
after, one of his charges achieved
stardom as Anita Page. Another
legal action was added to his woes
when two scenario writer's sued for
failure to buy stories for which they
said he had contracted. They added
that he had made two pictures at a
cost of $150,000, but never had re-
leased them and had abandoned his
motion picture aspirations.
Thaw, in June, 1923, left for Eu-
rope to replenish his wardrobe, but
British authorities refused him per-
mission to land at Southampton.
Thaw went to France instead, and
there the Paris police had to rescue
him from students infuriated at his
efforts to attend a ball against their
wishes

in the courts once more. Mae
O,Neill, an entertainer under the
name. of Marcia Estardus, accused
him of padding her with a hair
brush at a New Years party In
Thaw's New York apartment. A
jury gave the girl verdict of $75 900
of the 100000 she had asked, but
the Supreme Court cut the award
to 5000, which she accepted.
Even while the trial was on, the
White case bobbed up again. As
Thaw sat in court during the
Estardus suit papers were served
ON him in an action for $4,000 by
DR.. Smith Ely Jelliffe of New York
for alleged services in Thaw's be-
half as an alienist in the trial for
the murder of White.
The "playboy's" pleasures were
not all of the kind that led him
to the courts time and again. In
those periods between each no.

dabble in civic movements in the
villages and towns in which he
sought retreat. Volunteer fire de-
partments were his especial toy,
