Nazi Paper Warns Poland
Respect Demanded For 'Vital Righls'
Of German Minority
BERLIN. March 28 (UP) — The Oerman foreign office tonight semiofficially served a blunt warning on Poland that unless “vital rights" of the German minority there are respected developments may be "harmful to the Polish nation itself.”
The warning, giving formal sta tus to Nazi pressure against Poland in what some quarters regarded as a prelude to possible demands regarding Danzig and the Polish corridor, was made by the foreign office organ "Diplomatlsche Politikal Korrespondenz.”
CLAIM MISTREATMENT It followed Nazi accusations of the "deplorable mistreatment” of German men and women In the Bromberg section of the Polish corridor and an announcement in Warsaw that “baby bonds” would be floated among the people to raise $228,000,000 for air force and antiaircraft expansion.
The foreign office organ, using phrases that were familiar in the Nazi campaigns preceding Germany's absorption of Austria, the Sudetenland and Czechoslovakia, said that ‘‘anti-German acts’’ ln Poland must be regarded as deplorable despite the Reich’s desire to live in peace with the Poles. THREATEN EUROPEAN PEACE If they continue. Poland was told, they might bring consequences “as deplorable for the future harmonious development of the European era as they would Indeed be harmful to the Polish nation itself."
Diplomatische politikal korrespondenz continued:
If little notice has been taken of these recent incident* by the German press certainly nobody will assume from this that they have been overlooked here or that they are not of interest to us.
The reason for this Oerman moderation was much more a desire and hope that such wanderings from the path were only a temporary wave of chauvinism, which soon would be forced to retreat.
"Unfortunately, Germany's expectations have not been fulfilled up to today."

Battleships
Super-Dreadnaughts Will Be U. S. Reply To Japanese Secrecy
WASHINGTON. March 28—(U.P>— President Roosevelt disclosed today that his recommendation for construction of two 45,000-ton battleships ln a bid for world naval leadership Is a partial reply to Japan's refusal to reveal whether she is building war vessels larger than treaty limits.
His remark was made at a press conference a few hours after it was learned that he had approved plans for the building of the super-dread-naughts as part of the naval expansion program authorized last year. Funds for starting construction of the two vessels will be contained in the regular navy department budget being drafted by a house subcommittee.
JAPAN’S RETICENCE TOLD
The president said that the Japanese government's refusal to verify or deny reports that two or three Japanese warships are being built in violation of the 35,000-ton limit of the defunct Washington treaty was one of several reasons for his action.
He declined to state other reasons for supporting construction of the two vessels which would be the largest warships ever set afloat.
Certainty of the super-drdead-naught construction revived reports that the ships may be mounted with 18-inch guns, probably the deadliest sea weapon ever devised. It was admitted privately that the matter is being given favorable consideration by naval experts. CONSTRUCTION REPORTED
The Japanese warships reportedly under construction are said to be in the vicinity of 40,000 tons and rumor has lt that they will be equipped with the giant guns. Great Britain already has laid the keels of two 40,000-tonners and ls believed also to be considering use of super-guns.
According to tentative naval plans the 45,000-ton American vessels could be equipped either with 15 of the currently used 16-lnch guns or 9 to 12 of the 18-inch models. Six 35,000-ton dreadnaughts now under construction are to be equipped with the 16-lnch guns.
YMCA Panel Tomorrow
Unsolved Problems In Business Will Be Pari oi Discussion
“The college man in business” will be thp subject of the panel discussion to be conducted by Prof. Frank Nagley, instructor in merchandising, at 2:30 p.m. tomorrow ln the social lounge of the Student Union. Franklin Jordan will act as chairman.
The discussion, under the auspices of the YMCA, will present numerous business problems that are still unsolved and will attempt | to acquaint college students with the characteristics that are necessary for success in business. BUSINESS CONCEPTION WRONG
The popular misconception of the business world, according to Pro-j lessor Nagley, is the idea that modem business ls nothing more than a series of malpractices and rackets ! In which anyone with ethical stan-| dards would be unable to compete, j Modern business, he explained is not cut-throat racketeering as lt is believed to be but rather a legitimate competitive field where ethical relationships are necessary, and where honest, forthright practices | are the rule rather than the exception.
BACKGROUND NECESSARY
One of the characteristics of business success, Professor Nagley mentioned, is a complete background knowledge of the problems of modern business which have not as yet been solved, but which will, in the next generation, find at least partial solution.
The panel discussions are sponsored by the YMCA to acquaint students with practical modern problems related to their business interests.

Handbills Violate ASSC Constitution
Despite the possible illegality of issuing printed matter in favor of a candidate for election, several hundred handbills announcing a campaign meeting for Floyd Cunningham, candidate for ASSC presidet, appeared on campus yesterday morning.
Shortly after the appearance of the circulars, the Dally Trojan learned that Lloyd Taber, admitted supporter of Cunningham, had contracted for the printing of the sheet with the Shaw Printing company, name of which was printed
on the bills.
An employee of the printing firm told a Daily Trojan reporter over the telephone that Taber was responsible for the handbills. Taber later admitted the responsibility but declared that their campus distribution was “all a mistake.”
Many readers of the handbills expressed the belief that the circulars were in direct violation of the ASSC constitution and might result In Cunningham’s ineligibility. The constitutional provision, which was passed March 18, 1938, states:
“The issuance of any printed matter other than articles ln the Daily Trojan or other campus publications and post cards for the express purpose of notification of meetings shall automatically declare any candidates guilty of such action ineligible to election. The senate shall upon majority vote of its membership be the final arbitrator in all matters of eligibility.”
Taber blamed the supposed “mistake" on unnamed subordinates who assertedly “gummed up the works.” Original plans, Taber explained, were to distribute the handbills on the campus from an airplane. Realizing that the idea might be illegal, he told the reporter, he later decided to circulate the bulletins on 28th street.
To Taber’s admitted "surprise,” the handbills were distributed yesterday morning on the campus proper. Observers stated that some of the sheets were thrown from the third floor of the Administration building Others appeared on the streets and sidewalks near the Student Union building and Old College.
When asked lf he was an assistant manager of Cunningham’s campaign, Taber smiled slyly, nudged the Dally Trojan reporter in the ribs with a rolled newspaper, and said, “Well . . . no.”
Later in the day at Cunningham’s rally, Taber handed the reporter a cigar and admitted that he was an active supporter of Cunningham. According to Taber, Cunningham burned 300 of the circulars yesterday morning, but many remained on the campus during the day. Taber also assured the Dally Trojan that neither Cunningham nor Ed Jones, his campaign manager, knew of the handbills before their appearance.
No action against Taber or Cunningham for the distribution of the handbills had been made by the opposition late last night .

Clint Ternstrom, former editor of El Rodeo, last night shocked 600 supporters of Michael MacBan, candidate for ASSC president, when he admitted that hts candidate had political "backing” and that “backing was necessary for a successful candidate who intended to conduct a democratic and representative student government."
He stated that the "backing” consisted of a group of outstanding men devoted to making politics "democratically beneficial to all.” Ternstrom also praised MacBan's qualities of leadership and character
MacBan reiterated his platform, thanked his supporters for efforts in his behalf, and expressed the sincerity of his candidacy to the assembled audience.
Dick Barton, campaign manager, read 10 letters from fraternities and sororities promising MacBan 100 per cent support and three others which assured almost unanimous support.

MADRID, Mai c il 28 -<l Ti—Nearly 1,000,000 half-lamlshed survivors of the most terrible siege of modern times danced and embraced victorious Nationalist troops ln Madrid's streets tonight in celebration of the city’s surrender and the end of the long Spanish civil war.
Nearly three years of Spain’s “Little World War," which had threatened to engulf all Europe, was at end. All that remained foi Generalissimo Francisco Franco’s Nationalists was to mop up a wedge-shaped area extending east and south to the Mediterranean coast.
Valencia, Alicante, Jaen, Almeria and other Republican cities had yet to surrender formally and unconditionally but resistance there, as ln Madrid, was shattered and the war-weary people wanted peace, whatever the price.
Their leaders were fleeing, seeking haven abroad. Theu soldiers were surrendering by the thousands
Oen. juse Miaja, who stalled
Franco's African Moors at the gates ol Madrid on a cold November day in 1836 and who proclaimed that the capital would be "the Tomb of Fascism,” had fled to the coast when the Nationalists marched ln triumphantly.
Miaja was reported from Valencia to have ordered all Republican soldiers to "surrender and avoid useless bloodshed ” The order applied to the 20tii army defending the Mediterranean coastal sector.
Franco who was at a field headquarters near Quadarraina about 20 miles north of Madrid, prepared to serve a new ultimatum on the remainder of the Republican zone.
It was reported that Miaja might be rescued from Valencia by a British warship.
The first of 200.000 Nationalist Uoops marched uito Madrid's shell-rutted streets at II Sin with Italian Blackshirts well in their van to find the destitute city blanketed with white flags. Street* resounded
to shouts of “Viva Franco! Arriba Espanal"
Scrawny hands were stretched j out in the unfamiliar Fascist salute. Then they clutched st the ' arms of Franco's soldiers with pltl- I ful cries of "panI” <bread).
Not a shot was fired in the uncon- ! ditional surrender which ended j Madrid s 872 days of merciless ! siege.
Days and nights had been crammed with terror. Bombing planes and siege guns laid waste to more than one-third of the city. Its once-bcautlful boulevards were splattered with the blood of men, women snd j children.
Morale, so heroic In the days when Madrid threw up barricades in the streets with the cry of "no Pa&saianl”, collapsed in the grip of ' privation, then actual stsrvation.
Tonight the people of Madrid j were mad in their Joy over deliver- i ance from the terror.
