Meanwhile the University of Chicago has become
the center of the movement which protests the death
of Caocho-Slovakia, for on iu campus as a visiting
lecturer is Dr. Eduard Bene*, former president of
the war-born republic. Just what Dr. Benea' plans
are have not been announced, but rumor haa it that
he will fora a strong organisation to fight for the
re-birth of his country.
The victory in New York of famed raeket-
b us ter Thomas E. Dewey in the spectacular trial
of James J. Hinas, Tammany Hall politician, has
made the former the number one candidate of Re
publican collegians for the G. 0. P. hMuinatton
for the presidency ia 1940.

statement from the University .of Minnesota "Daily":
