Culmination of Plans President Roosevelt has been formulating plans for the re organization of .the NRA for some time, particularly since the resignation of General Johnson his action in this direction hav ing coming to the fore. Until today the President has been silent as to what the nature of these changes is to be. His action tonight was the firslt of his steps to be made public.

By Billy Hudson Frankly, I do not approve of the American educational sys tern," said Dr. Francis C. M. Wei, president of Central China College, in an interview yester day at the home of Dr. Edgar W. Knight, with whom he is spending two days. "The A.B. degree confers no scholarly prestige; its holder has only a smattering of know ledge about each of many differ ent subjects. American college students come to college too ear ly, in the first place. They should nolt come until they are at least 18 years old. "In their college work they scatter their energies over too many different fields; they should specialize more." Little Learning Dangerous Dr. Wei, who holds his Ph.D. degree from the University of London and his M.A. from Har vard University, believes thait the smattering of knowledge that American college students acquire about each subject they study is, in an intellectual sense, dangerous to them. First, having delved into a subject slightly, they think they know all about it. Second, the slight foretaste of a subject which they get in the average college course often kills their interest in that subject. The 46-year-old Chinese scho lar is Jeffersonian in his con ception of education. He be lieves that Ithere should be three levels of education. The pri mary level, which is training in citizenship, should include every body; but only those fitted for the higher levels should receive training in them. "You Ameri cans," he said, "seem to think that the Almighty created every body to get an A.B. degree. The Almighty did not do that." On Lecture Tour Dr. Wei, who has studied at Oxford University, the Univer sity of Berlin, and the Sorbonne, in addition to Harvard and the University of London, is in the (Continued on last page) Balmy Climate And Famed Cooking Of South Pall Upon New Jersey Lads We Just Came Down to See How We Liked lt9". Say Three Ex- reshmen En Route Back to The sunny south and its long- I lauded cooking have failed to meet the approval of at least four members of the class of '38 who are tired of the heat and the eats and are now headed north that is, except for one of their number whom measles and Dr. Berryhill are detaining in the University infirmary. "We're not used to the kind of food you have' here," they said. "It's too hot and we just came down temporarily any how." Therefore the three who are able have packed their trunks and turned towards their re spective homes in New Jersey where the sim shines less warm ly and spaghetti and non-kosher food are served three times a day. Make Trial Visit Dean Bradshaw said yester day that he had seen each boy who had decided to leave and that they all reported that they had come to the University for AUTHORITIES RUSH KIDNAP SUSPECT TO WITNESS BOX Colonel Lindbergh, Disguised, Scrutinizes Prisoner; Extra , dition Appears Imminent. PRISONER DENIES GUILT New York, Sept. 27. (UP) According to indications tonight Bruno Richard Hauptmann will be taken to New Jersey at the soonest possible moment fco stand trial for the murder of the Lind bergh baby. Meanwhile, District Attorney Samuel Foley of Bronx county Has expressed the conviction that Hauptmann wasn't the "lone wolf" in the abduction. The German has steadfastly maintained his innocence despite the steadily rising mountain of evidence against him. He has broken down only once during the long and gruelling days of questioning to which he has been subjected.. That was on Wednes day night iiThis prison cell. Col. Lindbergh, disguised in cap and glasses, viewed the prisoner for ten minutes today without his being recognized. This was the first time that he had confronted the accused man. New Jersey and New York of ficials were in secret conference with indications pointing to ex tradition on murder charges. Other Charges Wait Hauptmann is being held , in New York on extortion charges alone. The maximum sentence for extortion is 20 years impris onment. But exjtortion is not the only charge that faces the German alien, the "bad boy" of Kamenz. In New Jersey the more seri ous charges of kidnaping and murder await him. Jersey officials are preparing their case carefully and pains takingly so that there will be no loopholes. Whether or ncjbthe extortion trial comes first, officials have indicated, depends on the events of the next few days. Attorney General David Wilentz of New Jersey said that under no circumstances will the (Continued on page two) New Jersey; One in Infirmary. o only a week or so to see how they would like it. . ' But he does not. think that such incidental matters as food and climate had everything to do with their decision to return home. "I believe the chief reaT son is homesickness, not the cli mate, or their not being used to our eating," he said. "However," Bradshaw added, "I think that the boy with the measles will be with us for a while, and we may be able to encourage him to stay." Can't Take Heat In listing other conditions which influenced their decisions, two of the gentlemen from Jer sey said that they had arrived in the midst of a downpour of rain which was followed by a spell when the weather was too hot for them to endure. . Too much noise in the" dormi tories, poor ventilation in fourth floor rooms, and stomach, aches were also given as reasons for a trek northward.

' During the World War po tassium sulphate and alum were made from the Utah alunite but the mineral methods were too expensive to permit commercial use in normal times. Last year Huffman made a study of the methods used during the war with the result that it is beT lieved a new method can be de veloped which will permit the mining of the meltal on a large scale and will be cheap enough to permit its development on a commercial scale.
