J., Nov. 9-GP- A. campus bill of rights legal- izing the \big apple\ and \trucking\ on the dance floor was drawn up today by a group of strike - threatening Kearny high school students for presen- tation to Principal G. G. Man- key. 1 Insurgent leaders charged the school administration was \old- fashioned.\ Dissatisfaction crys- tallized last night when students held a torchlight demonstration. Class officers and leaders in extra-curricular activities made speeches citing the students' grievances and thréatening to strike today unless their de- mands were met. \If we want to grow mus- taches or wear informal beer jackets, why can't we?\ one boy speaker asked. Principal Mankey today \pooh-poohed\ the idea of a stu- dent strike. He said the students had returned to class as usual this morning and that their de- mand for a student council would be met. NEW PRIS’LNER’S song vitically ill in San Antonio, Evans started to make a hurried trip to his home city. He was accom- panied by his brother, Lytton Evans of 1 Brookside avenue, Free- Pi port, well known big game hunter, and the latter's Each was riding a motorcycle. Waited For One Thain The warning bell was clanging and the red light blinking as they approached the Milburn avenue crossing, according to witnesses. They halted their machines. and waited until an eastbound train, after discharging passengers at the Baldwin station, had cleared the crossing, As the last coach rumbled by, John Evans started his cycle over the crossing. He failed to see a westcound train approaching or hear the warning shouts of his brother and niece. They saw it in the nick of time and stopped their machines on the eastbound track. They watched in horror as the train clipped the rear of Evans's cycle, tossing him high in the air but clear of the grinding wheels. He landed on his head 50 feet from the crossing. The train came to a halt at the Baldwin station, the wreckage of the motorcycle under the leading trucks. Lytton Evans ran to his broth- er's side and cradled his head in his arms. An ambulance surgeon from Meadowbrook hospital found them thus when he arrived short- ly after, He pronounced John dead of a fractured skull and in- ternal injuries.

Bullet Creases Temple Geopel, employed as a bartend~ er at Castle inn, 1218 Broadway, Hewlett, was found unconscious on the floor of the dining room yesterday by Captain Martin Woras, the proprietor. He had at- tempted to fire two shots into his brain from a 30-30 caliber hunting rifle. One shot missed him com- pletely. The other creased his right temple, knocking him un- conscious. The bullets from the power rifle went through the roof of the building. Revived at the hospital, Geopel related to Detectives Robert Kirk of the county police a long story of hurdlhig originating with the discovery by Nazi army officials three years ago that his mother was Jewish. Prior to that time, Geopel had made rapid progress in the Ger- man army in which his father is a surgeon. The furore over the discovery of his mother's Jewish ancestry resulted in his father divorcing her, Geopel said.

ROOSEVELT UNOEAGOES QUZ She Answers All For Illinois Hearers ROCKFORD, II., Nov. 9-P)- Rockford residents knew today how Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt fixed scrambled eggs, her opinion on the probability of a woman be- ing elected president of the United States, and her views on many other unrelated subjects. Tells Of \Typical Day\ Such were the questions they asked her last night after she de- scribed \a typical day in the white house,\ in an address to a crowd that filled nearly all of the armory's 5,500 seats. Here hre some of the questions put to her and the answers: Q. What is your favorite recipe, and how do you fix it? A. Scrambled eggs, put a lit- tle butter into the skillet, break the eggs into it and add a little cream. Keep them stirred up un- til ready to serve. Q. What do you think about a woman for president? A. I don't believe a woman to come as women have not yet had enough experience in public office to command the following “0,1?an ut the country as a . Do you and tne president an alarm clock? The president doesn't, but I WASHINGTON, Nov. 9-(P)-Uncle Sam packed up $10,500,000 in gold for shipment to France today, and stuck a \for sale\ sign on millions more. The gold was purchased by the French Stabilization Fund, created a year ago when the franc left the gold standard. Franco-American pact which The transaction took place under the Anglo- seeks to prevent severe fluc- tuations in currency relationships. It was the first time since March, 1936, that the United States had exported any of the metal. Simultaneously, however, the San Francisco chamber of Commerce reported that $10,000,000 worth ofgold bars has beenlanded there from Japan in the last two days. Half Of World Gold Here For four years gold has poured into this country from other na- tions, building our store to $12,- 800,000,000-more than half the gold in the world. During those four years, the fixedprice of $35 an ounce which the treasury paid for gold was the highest anyone inthe world would offer. Yesterday, however, Europe was offeringas high as $35.22 an ounce-a price exactly enough to cover the cost of the gold and of its shipment across the Atlantic. For_ two or three weeks, the American stabilization fund has been selling a secret amount of gold which it owned it Eur It could sell that metal at lower prices because it didn't have to be carried across the ocean,. Secre- tary Morgenthau annouriced these foreign supplies now are ex- hausted. Means Little Here To the public, he added, these (running. mean little, He ex- plained that although the export of gold means the withdrawal of foreign money from our banks, credit will not be tightened. The outflow will be counteracted, he said, by the treasury's inactive gold (or sterilization) fund, This fund - of $1,270,000,000 worth of gold was created on bor- rowed money last December. Then it looked as if the inflow of foreign money would create too much credit - that the excess money would be inflationary and cause prices of goods to rise faster, Hence every time a foreigner shipped a million dollars worth of Continued on Page 2, Col. 5 REBEL LOSSES HEAVY IN ARAGON FIGHTING Loyalists Dynamite Railroad Sup- plying Insurgent Troops As Bat- te Rages Along Gallego River MADRID, Nov. $-(#!-Spanish government and insurgent forces were locked today in a deadly but as yet inconclusive conflict along the Gallego river in upper Ara- gon. The fighting yesterday brought heavy insurgent losses, a govern- ment communique said. Govern- ment patrols crossed the river and dynamited a railroad connecting Jaca with the rest of insurgent Spain. The railroad runs north in- to France and was a principal route for insurgent supplies from lower Aragon. Heavy fighting also was re- ported a little further south. Meanwhile, the insurgents con- tinued to concentrate troops Teruel, thb southernmost tip of their Aragon salient, which ob- servers believe will be the focal point for their next major offen- sive. 6-TO-ONE SHOT KILLS | LAD PLAYING SUICIDE] HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 9-(P)- Carroll S.

Photo Record Kept The competition was carried out with the cameramen aboard the boats making snapshots of the planes as the aircraft circled above for positions to drop their one-pound flour sacks on .the dodging speedboats. A plan was adjudged downed if the camera- man succeeded in photographing a vital part in the center of his plate. W. D. Guthrie, president of Roosevelt Field, Inc., and Chief Commander W. E. Morse of the U, S. Power squadron, will award specially struck medals to the fi- lots and skippers who scored in thie contest. Medals will be awarded as fol lows: gold medals, Dick Blyth and William Butters; silver med~ als, Marvin Parker, K. H.

Eden Returns Litvinoffs departure generally is regarded as a protest against a move which he thinks is under way to eliminate Russia from ma- jor conference activities, particu- larly from conferences of commit- tees. Such a move to exclude Rus- sia presumably would be an effort to placate Japan. Japanese unofficially have made clear here that they would ex- change - information - about the Chinese conflict with signatories of the nine power treaty, but not with outsiders, Russia, not a sig- natory to the treaty which pledges respect for China's territorial in- tegrity, was invited to the confer- ence because of her important in- terests in the far east. The Litvinoff bolt is all the more sensational because British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden already has returned from London for continued conference sessions, and - French - Foreign - Minister Yvon Delbos is coming tonight. It was reported Lityinoff was incensed | particularly over any plan to name Italy to membership on a pr conciliation com- mittee and to ignore Russia. (Rus- sian resentment has been height- ened By Italian adherence to the German-Japanese pact against Bolshevism.) It was understood that the United States delegation will in- sist upon including the Nether- lands on the committee, if it now is decided to name Belgium, Eng- land, the United States, France and Italy.
