Briefs From UP Spain Breeding World War III Poland Warns Asks Diplomatic Break with Franco New York, April 17 Polish Delegate Oscar Lange warned the United Nations Security Council this afternoon that Spain may become the jumping off place of the next war. Lange introduced a resolution calling for all United Nations to break off diplomatic relations with Spaing and inviting the Spanish people to -get rid of Franco. To support his call for action, Lange charged that a German atomic energy specialist is directing atomic research at a laboratory in Toledo, Spain. He reminded the council that Spain has six uranium mines. He says one hundred thousand German and Vichy French troops are stationed in Spain, and charges that Franco . has moved Moorish troops to the Spanish-French border, and built machine gun nests and tank traps there. He charged that Spain has the largest army in its history and is spending more money on arms than ever before. He pointed out that the Spanish-French border has been closed. Then he put this question to the council "When borders are closed, when a government masses troops on another na tion's frontier doesn't this en danger international peace and security? Do we have to wait until guns are shot, bombs are dropped, and men are killed?" Lange made detailed charges, some of "them -from the Ameri can State Department docu ments, to prove that the Franco regime worked hand-in-glove with Hitler during the war, and that the Franco government was set up by the Axis, on the Fas cist pattern.

Be sides dancing, Shawn will lecture on modern dancing and show kodachrome slides of the dancers who have appeared at America's foremost dance school, in Jacob's Pillow, Massachusetts. AccomDanvinsr him will be j; v - Barton Mumaw, openly acclaim ed as "the greatest man dancer of his generation." For nine years Mumaw was a featured solo dan cer with Shawn and was with the group when they appeared on the Carolina ; campus I several ago under the auspices of the Student Entertainment Commit tee. Slides to Be Shown The slides to be shown are part of a famous collection which will be permanently housed at the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. Audiences at the Mu seum last year paid $2.50 per seat for the privilege of hearing this lecture. Tuesday's showing, which is free to students, is for the benefit of the "University of Dance" at Jacob's Pillow. Shawn's well known "Four Dances Based on American Folk Music" and "Flamenco Dances" will be featured in the second half of Tuesday's program.

Legislature Reverses Vote In a complete reversal, the Student Legislature voted last night by a 13-12 margin to re serve in the proposed student constitution the right of every accused man before the student council to. face his accuser if he so desires. The decision threw out the 14-10 vote of the previous eve ning to approve an amendment which would have left the ques tion of accused and accuser up to the discretion of the student council. Leader in the fight against the amendment last night, in ad dition to Doug Hunt and Jimmy Wallace, was Bill Crisp, CPU chairman, who charged "moral snobbery" against legislators who admitted that while they would report infractions of the honor system, many other mem bers of the student body would be unwilling to do so. Debate on the question raged back and forth after a move by Hunt to reconsider Tuesday night's amendment was passed by the body. Bill Dees, a member of the student council for three years before the war, claimed that "it is impossible for the accused to receive an unfair trial after the case had been carried, if neces sary, beyond the special Student Council court to the entire Stu dent Council and even beyond to an administrative review." The legislature will continue its consideration of the constitu tion tonight at 7:30 o'clock in Phi Hall.
