Germany Will Retain Decision On Armaments
Class Petitions For Offices Due Tomorrow
Berlin To Keep Out of
Conferences Until Given Equality
Government Surprised at
Official Opinion of Great Britain
BERLIN, Sept. 19—(UP)—Germany will adhere to her decision rot to participate in further dis-^arniam<nt conference? unless the other powers grant her military ♦*qualit.', a spokesman for the government said tonight-
Berlin will not bo represented vhen the buueet bureau of the dis armament conference meets at Geneva Wednesday, the spokesman said.
While the reaction ln the press to Great Britain’s memorandum, ■which bluntly disfavors the German demands, was one of either wrath against the Franz von Papen cabinet or against Britain, government officials seemed surprised at “the change in British official opinion.”
ASKED TO RECONSIDER “A different attitude was expected.” one official told the United Press. “If France insists on an investigation of so-called secret arms in Germany, the situation will be seriously aggravated.'*
Arthur Henderson, chairman of the disarmament conference, addressed 8 letter today to Baron Constantine von Neurath, the German foreign minister, asking that Germany reconsider her decision not to attend Wednesday's meeting at Geneva.
“Prolonged absence of Germany from our deliberations,” the letter said, “may seriously affect the cause of general disarmament,” RESIGNATION ASKED The Hitlerite organ, Angriff, bluntly demanded that von Papen resign as chancellor and make way for a Hitler cabinet, “so the dummy armaments now being used in the autumn maneuvers can be replaced with a real means of defense.”
The Socialist paper. Vorwaertsgn asserted that the German foreign policy is leading to isolation, with France and England presenting a united front on the political hori-son.
The Deutsche Allgemeine, considered close to von Papen, reprimands Downing street for the “sohoolmasterish, ironical tone" of the British memorandum, which it describes as "intolerable.”
Petitions for all-university class offices must be in to Francis Cislini, elections commissioner before 3 p.m. W’ednesdav afternoon, Sept. 21. Cislini is in his office, Student Union 234 between 1 and 3 o’clock in the afternoon. Applications will not be received after Wednesday afternoon.

Roosevelt Airs Mining Plans
Montana Democrats Hear Governor’s Pledge To Stabilize Prices
New Pigskin To Appear Saturday
With the appointment of Matt Barr as editor of this season's Pig-skir Reviews verified by the Board of Publications, plans for the first edition have been discarded because of lack of time and the material for the University of Utah-S. C. game souvenir program has been hastily assembled.
At present Barr makes the surprising statement of not promising anything sensational yet. “However,” he continues, “it will be up to the standard of previous Pigskins in workmanship and soon we will have plans for features. We are thinking of devoting space to pome of the school activities aside from football such as other extracurricular activities of football men. stories of campus personalities and things likely to be of general interest to the general public.”
Barr is an experienced man, ac-co-ding to Kenneth Stonier, manager of student publications, since he has served as editor of the El Rodeo and the Wampus during his university career. At present he is encaged in the Athletic News department working with Al Wesson.
ABOARD ROOSEVELT SPECIAL, Enroute Seattle, Wash., Sept. 19—(UP)—The pledge that he would take definite steps if elected president toward rehabilitation of the west's great mining industry, was given today by Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Speaking before 20.000 Montana Democrats at Butte, the center of the state’s copper and silver production area, Roosevelt assailed the attitude of the Washington administration toward price stabilization and added, “all prosperity springs from the soil: agriculture, mining, these are fundamental.
“The difference between the Republican and Democratic platforms on the money question is not a difference of alleged purpose, but it is a difference of attitude and of method.”
Referring specifically to the silver question of paramount importance in the west as an economic issue, the governor remarked that j “the Republican leaders say that when an international conference is called by someone else, they will participate. We promise to call such a conference. This I promise to do without delay or evasion.”
Roosevelt in his address warned that the improvement of conditions in the mining industry will be attained by no single panacea.
“I want to be fair and honest wiih you as I was with the farmers at Topeka the other day and say that with problems of such many-sided importance, the way out is difficult,” the governor said. “Particularly is this true of the problem of improving the condition of silver and the restoration of trade on the Pacific.
With the selection of members for campus musical organizations completed, rehearsals are now under way. From more than 40 coeds trying out for the Womens’ Glee club, the following members were chosen:
First soprano: Virginia Aldridge, Eloise Mays, Veva Reeder, Helen Ruth Morgan, Marian Enyeart, Evelyn Johnson, Mary James, , Mary Elizabeth Waldorf, Pauline Foster, Lois Campbell, Hildred I Smothers.

ATLANTA, Mo., Sept. 19— (UP)—In a notice on fhe front page of his weekly newspaper here, Editor Clarence Sagaser
says:
“The owner of this newspaper, The Atlanta Express, also owns a 300-acre farm in Macon county, Mo., which he will wager at even money on Franklin D. Roosevelt to be the next president of the United States.

Broadway Shows Freed From Filth by New Mayor

NEW YORK, Sept. 19— (UP)— New York's famous burlesque shows—delight of the out-of-town buyer and the small town cut-up— were ordered closed tonight by Mayor McKee, who charged that they were “a desecration to 42nd street and to Broadway.”
But over at Minsky’s Republic Burlesque, where “Etta Napple: the Girl from Eden,” was playing, the audience had not yet heard the news, and the Macabre carnival of sex went on.
There were young men here, and old men, sailors, salesmen, a portly fellow with a piped vest and pince-nei, a hunch-back who leaned on his crutches.
A flaming redhead, vivid in a spangled black evening dress, she swayed to the jungle beat of the music, sinuous hips curving, pointed toes tapping, there on a rope walk thrown out over the audience. White arms flashed as she turned now to this one, now to that one among the men.
It wasn’t bad. But somehow, as Mayor McKee suggesu. there was
an element of sex about it. There was more later when, back on the stage, the real business of the show began. Slowly, sensuously, swinging, singing and swaying, she began to undress, slipping off a bodice first with a flash of teeth. A turn ... and the dress was dropped, a whirl, and she stood revealed, nude to a point where nakeness seemed but a legal quibble. Five hundred men applauded vigorously.
New Yorkers, who for the most part live ten miles uptown or 20 out in the country, and seldom get to Broadway anyway, were shocked today to learn that this was going on.
It was in fact the prosaic real estate business rather than public indication that precipitated the debacle of Minsky's and its ilk. Adjoining owners of haberdashery and novelty shops in the Times Square area first complained that the congregation outside the burlesque shows to look at the pictures of naked women blocked traffic, and : were so busy looking that they ! didn’t buy.

Hoover Against Campaign Tour
Vice-President Curtis To Make Majority of Speeches
WASHINGTON, Sept. 19—(UP) —President Hoover personally is inclined against a “swing-around-the-circle” stumping tour which is being urged upon him by some of his advisers as a means of accelerating the campaign in its final stages.
No final decision on this disputed point of campaign strategy is expected for a few days. It awaits a study of the reaction of Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt's present trip through the west. Despite all the pressure from some of his advisers, it appears likely the chief executive will confine himself to the three scheduled speeches, at New York, Chicago, and Minneapolis, with perhaps another in the heart of the farm belt.
Secretary of War Patrick J. Hurley, who recently returned here 'from the west, is leading the drive for a sort of city-to-city canvass of the electorate by the president which would take him to the Pacific coast.
Secretary of Treasury Ogden L. Mills, on the other hand, is opposed to the idea of a prolonged tour which began to be agitated when voters of Maine went Democratic. The president is inclined to agree with Mills.
Whatever the president does, Vice-President Charles Curtis and members of the cabinet will tour the country extensively.

Watchmen Kept Jumping By New Alarm System
Even if S. C.’s three watchmen are hit over the head with blackjacks or fall down stairs and break a leg, the university buildings will still be protected. Sixty-seven little metal boxes are being installed in buildings on the campus by the American District Telegraph company to check up on our watchmen.
The superintendent of this new improvement, F. K. Selby, explained that as a watchman covers his rounds he will go through the proper motions at each box and set a code system in operation, which will record in the central office of the telegraph company on a tape the fact that he is on his beat. Should he fail "to meet his engagement” with any box the downtown office will decide whether to call the police or send a car out to discover the trouble. Each box sends in a distinctive message automatically.
The 49 red boxes at other strategic points are primarily for reporting fire. The instructions on them are to break the glass, open the door, and pull the lever. That will start the automatic device which will^report the exact location of the fire to the central telegraph office and the report will immediately be relayed to the fire stations closest to the campus.
Charles E. Sims, university engineer, says that the completion of the new Doheny library and the necessity for its protection brought on this campus improvement.
“Especially recommended by insurance companies,” said Mr. Sims, "the new telegraphic system of protection is recognized by the largest concerns as the best and safest type of alarm system and protec- j tion known.
