So his Is New York

Robert Scannell, Local archi-

classmates of 1915 a few days
ago and noticed a few changes.
There were the bald heads, grey
heads, bigger waiStlines, of
course, a far cry from those
handsome lads of forty years
ago. There was a lawyer named
Allen of st. Louis, who, when in
Princeton, made the highest
grades since those of Aaron
Burr, 1873 years ago-and Burr'S
father and grandfather were
both presidents of Princeton.
Another member of the Glass of
is who was discussed by Bob
Scannell and his old chumS was
James Forrcstal, known in COL
lege as 'Runt' Forrestal because
of his size. He was voted, in a
class meeting forty years ago, as
the member most likely to sue
coed" The other night, a sadness
fell upon the group when they
talked of "Runt" again; how he
had become the first Secretary
of Defense of this nation; and of
his tragic ending, which they
agreed was because he worked
himself to death. How would
they vote on him now? The
Princeton Class of 1915 still felt
they had made the right choice.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Human

Sparkman Suggests
Talks 10 Revise u. n.
Security Panel Veto
BY the Associated Press

Senator Sparkman, Democrat.
of Alabama said today he be-
lieves the United States should
vote for a United Nations char
ter revision conference, which
could consider changes in U. N
Security Council veto provisions
A Senate Foreign Relations sub
committee now is studying pro-
posals for changes in the U. N
charter. The group has sched-
uled hearings April 9 in San
Francisco and April II in Den
yer. Colo. These are due to be
followed by a windup session
here later. with former Presi-
dents Hoover and Truman
among the invited witnesses.
Need for Revisions
AS a subcommittee member,
Senator Sparkman said he has
become convinced some revi-
sions could be made in the To-
year-old U. N. charter and that
these changes might make the
organization more effective for
world peace.
AS the charter now stands any
of the five permanent members
of the nation Security Council
can veto action on questions of
substance rather than procedure.
The permanent members of the
Security Council are the United
States, Britain, France, Russia
and Nationalist China.
Il think we might be able to
make some changes in the Secur-
ity Council veto clause" the Ala
bama Senator said in an inter-
view. I'VE ourselves are never
going to agree to abandon the
veto entirely.
But we might propose some
thing similar to the idea adj
vanced by the late Senator
Arthur vandenberg, Republican,
of Michigan, that there be no
veto except where the use of a
nations armed forces is involved.
List Changes Needed
IT don't thing the United
States would ever agree to Yield
any part of its control over its
own armed forces"
Senator Sparkman said the
first step toward charter revi-
sion should be an agreement
among the free world allies as to
what changes are needed.
Chairman George, Democrat,
of Georgia of the Foreign Rela-
tons Committee agreed that
such unity would be necessary.
While he said he hadn't given
much thought to the question
yet. Senator George said he
would not be opposed to holding
a charter revision session, pos
sibly in 1856, if a majority Of
U. N. members want it.
He noted that. although the
u. N. charter makes provision for
such sessions every 10 years, they
must be authorized by the organ
ization's membership.
AS the situation stands. any
charter change could be stopped
by veto. Senator George said
if there is any apparent differ
ence among members over pro-
posed revisions it might be better
to let matters stand as they are.
eve might get into more
trouble over amendments than
1t would be WORTH" he observed.

Nonyong University Failure
Called a Loss for Free World
BY ROBERT S. ELEGANT

North American Newspaper Alliance
SINGAPORE. April 5.-The
resignation of DR.. Lin Yutang as
chancellor of the newly organ
lied Nanyang University here is
graphic proof that the free world
is losing a major battle against
Communist wooing of the young
overseas Chinese of Southeast
Asia.
DR.. Lin quit last Friday after
protracted dispute with the
university executive council over
how the university should be run
and how much money should be
spent. The cause of the split
was direct pressure from Red
China and manipulation of local
politics.
With the chancellor's resigna-
ton, Nanyang University, the
first real democratic effort to
counter Communist subversion
through education, may be con-
sidered a failure. 1t may now
actually be taken over by the
Communists.
Settlement Reported
DR.. Lin repeatedly has agreed
to accept 100000 as compen-
Sation for himself and 20 other
scholars he hired, to teach in
Nanyang, the Associated Press
reported. Seventeen profess
sors were said to have resigned
yesterday. The settlement fig
ure was reported by sources
close to the eight-man COM
mittee appointed by the uni
versity trustees to seek an ad-
justment with DR.. Lin.
Or. Lin lived. wrote and
taught il the United States for
90 years. Among his best
known books are THE I'M
portance of Living" and MY
Country and My People.")
The sponsors had a ready
made pretext for sabotaging
the university.
Pleading lack of funds. they
repudiated the commitments
they had made to Lin Yutang.
He was asked to head a univer-
sity cut by rs per cent and was
further asked to surrender much
of his power as president to a
committee made UP of business
men. Building halted and DR..
Lin was asked to satisfy himself
with two buildings barely ade-
quate for a primary school. He
was offered 100000 to equip an
entire science department.
Battle Ragged for Weeks.
DR.. Lin refused and a battle
ragged for several weeks in Singa-
pore newspapers and committee
rooms. The chancellor finally re-
fused to stay in Singapore to
head a university which would
be merely branch of Peiping's
political training Institutes.
Nanyang University was con-
ceived in 1852 by a group of
non-Communist Chinese mil
lionaires in Singapore. They
hoped to make it a center of
nom Communist learning for the
10 million overseas Chinese of
Southeast Asia. Glasses were
planned to start in September
this year.
An energetic Embarrassing
campaign, complete with Holly

of S4,300.000. Great popular sup
