"VAST SPY
RING' UNCOVERED r
Guenther Gustave Rumrich sounds like a Ger
man name. It belongs to the 27-year-old spy
G-Men arrested in a New York city hotel last
Saturday. Thousands of people throughout the
country seem willing to believe he slipped out of
Berlin for a few days to undermine our United
States defenses.
Johanna Hoffman is a red-haired, attractive
hair-dresser whom G-Men seized aboard the
North German Lloyd liner Europa Saturday. She
was born in Germany. Thousands of Americans
seem ready to believe her life's work was betray
ing our homes and families.
Erich Glaser was a private at Mitchel Field
until Saturday. Now he's in jail under $25,000
bail for selling military secrets.
There you have the "vast spy plot" that news
paper readers throughout the country woke up to
last Sunday morning. It was on the front page
and on the editorial page.
There you have the "gigantic network of espion
age" that suddenly menaced the military safety
of our people. There are the inferences that led
so suddenly to Berlin and bewhiskered schemers
plotting to overthrow democracy and the United
States government. There, we heard, was Imme
diate Peril.
But before we shout too loudly for blood and
defense, here are a few things we ought not to
forget: Gustave Rumrich was a United States
citizen; he served Uncle Sam's army in the Canal
Zone. Erich Glaser was also a citizen; he was
serving at an army air base when he was arrested.
That either man had any burning loyalty for
the German government we feel is extremely
doubtful under the circumstances. Money, rather
than Hitler, is to be suspected. Hitler's money,
perhaps, but those traders in international secrets
don't care who pays them, we . understand, so long
as it's the top salary.
The now famous "Robinson Mystery" in Russia
leads one to wonder if our State Department is
not hiring agents of its own.
They work for a price; not for a government.

(3) P. . U. Board Chairman
Stuart Rabb summarized an
other cause which seems even
more valid: the co-op . was
formed by a few students and
faculty members who hoped that
the interest in cooperation would
spread and that the campus at
large would take an active part
in its membership. ."Therein lies
the primary fallacy behind the
undertaking," Rabb said. "It
was designed and operated for
students, not by them. The- in
terest came from without and
not from withiri."
Upholding the viewpoint of
those who still have not lost
their faith in co-operatives, ac
knowledging that the Franklin
street attempt is just one out of
many, it will still probably be
many student generations hence
before our community launches
another movement.

OBITUARY OF THE
"STUDENT CO OPERATIVE"
Those interested in the nation-wide movement
to make co-operatives spread over the nation like
a forest fire saw their hopes for Chapel Hill
almost completely shattered Monday when Mr.
J. M. Lear became the official agent for economic
burial.
The natural conclusion would be: "first the
cleaners, now the store; co-operatives are no
good." '
But there are those professional and amateur
economists who still believe that co-bperatives
can be as beautiful in practice as they are in
theory. The local movement failed, they claim,
because of a number of reasons which do not
effect the validity of the theory. To substantiate
their argument, they can point out sections of the
country, especially the mid-west, where co-opera
tives still thrive as mainstays of the community.
' Among the reasons presented for failure: (1)
The original Rochdale plan, the economic consti
tution for co-operatives, proposed that market
prices should be charged and profit divided among
the members on the basis of patronage. However
the Chapel Hill co-operative got off on the wrong
foot when the principle of holding prices down as
near actual cost as possible was adopted. Man
agers were unable to predict changes in future
. Readers Digest this month
ran a brain-teaser of the. same
type used in this column about
a month ago. However it is a
little more difficult, but if you
had no trouble with the one last
month take a shot at it.
A woman asked her husband
to change a ten dollar bill for
her. He had $14.19, but could
not make the change with the
money he had. In fact he could
not change any bill no matter
what denomination, nor did he
have change for a half-dollar,
quarter, dime, or nickle.
What money did he have? ,
Answer to yesterday's quiz: The
average price per cantaloupe was 10
cents. But this is what is known as
"weighted" average. Tha is Smith
contributed three times as many
melons as Jones did, and in figuring
the sums which make up the 10 cent
average, the price of Smith's canta
loupes should be added in three times
to once of Jones' price. So you must
find two numbers differing by four,
and such that the average of three
imes one of the numbers, and one
times the other, will be 10.
These numbers are clearly 11 and
7, for three ll's and a 7 add up to
four 10's. So Smith should keep 11
cents each for his 75 cantaloupes, or
$8.25, and Jones should get 7 cents
each for his 25, or $1.75.

FOWL KNOCK-OUT

the Chi O's, the fellows got annoyed when Mr3.
Kluttz put a boisterous rooster in a coop just out
side their window.
. Every morning he would crown at dawn. But
now he crows no more.
- The other night at bedtime they slipped out

out drop in.
Next afternoon the thing was still breathing
but sound asleep. Finally Mrs. Kluttz ate him.

She recalled a package of phonograph needles
that she had just bought and put inside. Those

of needy students in the country, not only here,
our job is to meet their needs as best we can.
Failure to do so is a curtailment of democracy
and has a decidedly harmful effect on the hopes
and ambitions of our youth as a whole. At pre
sent petitions are beinEr circulated through the
dormitories and over the campus requesting that
NYA funds for the University be increased for
