British Report Hess Harboring Peace Desires
Communistic Hatred Advanced as Reason for Aide’s Desertion
LONDON, May 13—(U.E)—Rudolf Hess, incorruptible No. 3 man of the reich and confidant of Adolf Hitler, may have escaped to Britain with a fanatical desire to • save humanity” from the tragedy of a full partnership between Germany and Communist Russia, according to reports in British quarters tonight.
The sensational theory was advanced after disclosure that the man known affectionately to Hitler as "my good Maurice” narrowly escapea death before the guns of pursuing British fighter planes. He dropped by parachute on the Scottish moors Saturday night.
HIS FIRST WORDS “I have come to save humanity,” were the first words of the beetle-browed Nazi party leader when he landed from a Nazi Messerschmitt 110 fighter 10 miles from Glasgow. according to information received by Americans from the British.
Hess is “wholly sane" despite the stories being put out in Berlin, examining British doctors reported and it was stated authoritatively that he brought no peace proposals of any kind with him.
He fled Germany, leaving behind his wife and child, in fears of his own life because ‘ the core of Germany is rotten,” it was stated.
There were unconfirmed reports tonight that Hess already had be gun to ‘talk fully” but officials were silent as to whatever he may have told them.
FANTASTIC TOUCH Another fantastic touch was lent to the most bewildering episode of the whole war when it was re vealed that the young Duke of Hamilton, on whose Scottish estate Hess landed, had belonged to the ncw-condemned Anglo-German Fellowship association.
Hess was understood to have been acquainted with the duke, although there was no indication that the latter was connected in (Continued on Page Four)

Chairman of one of the round table groups, Wallace Frasher, I.R. major, said in regard to the day s events:
COMMITTEE SELECTED

The committee working on the program includes Anne McGill, Jack Baird, Margaret Denman. Peter Rapp, Bill Druitt, Harned Hoose. Frasher, and Bell.
Syd Barton, new ASSC president, officially took over the reins of student government last night when he accepted the presidential gavel from Charles Johnston, retiring executive. The remaining senate seats were also filled with the recently selected officers in formal installation ceremonies at the last meeting of the year.
In turning over his office to Barton and his cabinet, Johnston said, “We all congratulate you on your elections to these offices. There is a challenge for each one of you to take our place and do a better job than we did. Your big job is to clarify your position in the university and assign each member of the senate his duties.” BARTON SPEAKS
In accepting the office Barton said, “I know we are going to have a great year. There's a lot of work ahead of us, and it may be tough with the army after us, but were going to have the best year SC has ever seen.”

Leaders Move to Halt Curb of FDR Power
Coinage Committee Approves Restriction on Dollar Devaluation
WASHINGTON, May 13—<U.E)— Administration leaders tonight called a special session of the house coinage committee for tomorrow in an effort to eliminate a commit tee-approved curb on President Roosevelt’s power to devalue the dollar.
The restriction was adopted today by a 9 to 7 vote as an amendment to a bill to continue the devaluation authority two years be-yona its present June 30 expiration date. The committee then unanimously approved the bill, which would extend for two years the life of the $2,000,000,000 stabilisation fund.
ACTION URGED
Acting Chairman John J. Cochran, D„ Mo., announced that he had galled tomorrow's meeting and will urge his colleagues to override the amendment. He said two Democratic members voted for it because they misunderstood its purpose, and he predicted its defeat.
dormitory groups will dine in an atmosphere of hushed expectation* and hopes as AWS President Kay Dodds, toastmistress for the banquet, introduces speakers who will make the awards and appointments to AW’S and YWCA offices .
Taking as her subject the general theme of the banquet, “Too low they build who build beneath the stars,” Miss Dodds will turn over the gavel of her office as head of all women’s organizations of the university to Jackie Comerford, president-elect.

It would still permit the president to pay up to $41 an ounce for dcmestic gold. But Andresen said domestic production is relatively negligible, and that the dollar’s value would remain stable on world markets as long as $35 an ounce was the price for foreign-mined gold, even though domestic gold might bring a higher price.
Cochran termed the Andresen amendment “foolish.”
Religious Group Hears Burnside
John Burnside, secretary of the National Conference of Christians and Jews, will speak to members of the Roger Williams club, campus Baptist organization, tomorrow on “Why I Believe in and Work for Interfaith Cooperation.” The lunch-meeting will take place at noon In 322 Student Union.
Burnside has for years taken part in student religious work. He is head of the Youth Visitation board, a group which visits the churches of all denominations observing their forms of worship and studying their symbolization.
‘‘In one section of the bill,” he added, "congress says it is giving the president certain authority, and in the amendment it is taking it back.”
The devaluation authority was enacted in 1933 as an emergency measure. Mr. Roosevelt soon cut the dollar s value to 59 cents but he never again used the authority.
Secretarial Position Open to Applicants
