Germany Protests Act
Giving President Power
To Seize Foreign Ships
By United Press
WASHINGTON, May 8 The German government has protest
ad to the U. S. against pending congressional legislation to give
president Roosevelt power to requisition foreign ships including
German vessels now immobilized in American ports, it was dis
closed tonight. . -
WASHINGTON Twenty-six more ships were added tonight to
president Roosevelt's $2,000,000 shipping pool "for the service to
Britain" as a sharp dispute raged over the extent of British ship
ping losses.
The'craft, owned by the Alcoa Steamship company of New York were made
available to Canadian interests under a charter arrangement approved by the
U. S. Maritime commission. This is the second group of vessels to be made
available to the British.
WASHINGTON Vice-Presidept Henry A. Wallace, and Secretary of State
Cor dell Hull today appealed to Latin-American nations to strengthen them
selves spiritually and militarially and join the U. S. in the defense against
"perfidious and dictatorial Nazism."
The media of their appeal were addresses welcoming Latin-American naval
chieftains who are to inspect U. S. Naval bases and probably work out a pro
gram of naval cooperation with this government.

Illogical Results
Cause Speculation
By Paul Komisaruk
Immediate analysis of yesterday's
CPU war poll results show startling
ar.d unexplainable inconsistencies on
the part cf the student vote.
Generally conceded to work hand
in hand, results of the first three ques
tions concerning an immediate war
declaration, the use of convoys, and
Anti-labor legislation saw a heavy de
feat for a war declaration cast. This
was confusing in light of the slight
majqrity that went for use of con
voys. . -
President on Record
Washington officials make no effort
to distinguish between convoys and
war. The President has himself gone
on record a3 recognizing that "con
voys mean shooting, and shooting
means war." With war, and with con
voys, the heavy anti-labor vote that
followed would be understandable.
Inconsistencies
While 1,128 opposed a war declara
tion, approximately 400 turned around
and favored the use of convoys. That
would imply either an unwillingness
to face facts, or a failure to under
stand the implications of employing
convoys.
Inconsistencies in the labor vote
-are re obvious. The strongest vote in

Group To Give
Governing Plan
To Legislature
By Herman D. Lawson
Quick to sense the possible campus
wide significance of the appointment
of a committee to draw up a consti
tution for Ruffin dormitory two nights
ago, Kays Gary, Rufiin's delegate, and
Bobby Spence, junior representative
to the Student Legislature, last night
announced their intention of placing
before the next session of the legisla
ture a proposal that all dormitories
adopt "constitutional" self-govern-
Iment.
"Individual constitutions, detailing
the more general laws of the student
council and the interdormitory coun
cil," Gary said, "would facilitate and
make more efficient dormitory admin
istration and simplify the settlement
of interdormitory and intradormitory
disputes.
Not Proposed as Substitute
"The individual constitutions are
not proposed as a substitute for the
interdormitory council but as a con
necting link or supplement to the coun
cil." In an attempt to solve the evils of
unrepresentative elections of dormi
tory officers and the planning of so
cial activities, the residents of Ruffin
night before last became the first
dormitory to explore a new field of
dormitory government by setting up
a committee" to investigate the short
comings of the present methods and
to .draw up a constitution to be sub
mitted for ratification by the residents
before school is out.
The proposal of a constitution grew
out of current dissension in the dormi
tory over a proposed hayride Sunday
night and a controversy over past un
representative elections when a Ruffin
student at the meeting Wednesday
night expressed the opinion:
"No one has been pleased with the
