JEWISH FAITH TRIUMPHS OVER HARVARD RULES Students Refuse to Take Exam on Yom Kippur; Proctors Assigned. hu Unil'll Press CAMBRIDGE, .Mass., Oct. 2. The dictates of the ancient Jewish faith have scored at least a partial victory over Harvard tradition. Harvard, which ordinarily observes its old-established rules with rigid reverence, has decided to make a concession in the face of a conflict betwen its own regulations and the mosaic law as regards the celebration of the holiest day on the Hebrew calendar. Yom Kippur, observed today by Jews the world over, came on the date set for the important divisional examinations Harvard seniors must pass to be eligible for degrees. A dozen Jewish students pointed to the fact that religious scruples \ would prevent them from taking the tests today and requested a postponement. Refusal Arouses Jews Dean Alfred C. Hanford regretted the conflict of dates, but said it was too late to arrange a postponement of the examinatfbns and indicated that the Jewish students must either take the examinations or wait an extra year for their de-; grees. The refusal to delay the examinations until after the observance of the Day of Atonement aroused not only the students affected, but Jews in general. It was recalled that Harvard university, down through the years, had received liberal financial support from Jewish sources. In 1929 Julius Rosenwald donated $50,000 to Harvard. In the same year, Felix M. Warburg provided $35,000 for a professorship of the history of German culture. Many other substantial Jewish j gifts were recalled. Situation Is Debated In the face of the widespread pro- i test that followed Dean Hanford’s j firm stand against any change in the examination date, faculty members debated the situation at a conference with the examination committee and decided a proctor would : be assigned to each Jewish student! taking the examinations. Though manual labor would be a violation of the code of Yom Kippur, it was pointed out, the Jewish students could dictate their answers to the questions and the proctors could do the actual writing. Early today only one Jewish enior had requested a proctor, but! nearly a dozen additional proctors j were prepared to co-operate if asked to do so. $25,000 Fraud Alleged Bu I imen Bvrrinl .

RAILWAY CHIEF ASSAILS U, S. SHIPPING ACT Addresses Bankers’ Convention, Flaying Developing of Waterways. Bu United Press CLEVELAND, Oct. 2.—Subsidized transportation on water and land and downward revisions of freight rates were attacked today Fred W. Sargent, president of the Chicago <fc Northwestren Railway Company, addressing the general, convention of the American Bankers’ Association. Declaring that railroads have suffered extensively since passage of the tranportatlon act, and that operating costs are exceeding revenues, Sargent assailed the government’s position In developing waterways for the operation of subsidized shipping. Meet Changing Conditions “The position of the railroads,” Sargent said, “is and always has been that they must meet changing conditions, but they never had the right to assume that their investors should be deprived of a fair return by virtue of taking from them tonnage upon the rivers and highways through government subsidy or operation. “It is difficult to understand why railroads should be compelled to compete w r ith their own government in the making of rates in order to hold the heavy commodities to the rails. To my mind this drift toward government In business is a thing that no legitimate business ought to be required to contemplate, and its ultimate effects will be most disastrous to the economic and industrial prosperity of our country.” Officers Are Installed Sargent demanded that further declines in freight rates not only be stopped, but that an upward revision be granted so that “carriers can i survive and produce a reasonably I fair return to their Investors.” Sargent’s address was followed by j formal Installation of Rome C. Ste- : phenson, South Bend, Ind., as presi- : dent and other new officers elected Wednesday after which delegates i departed to greet President Hoover at the station. The President will address the closing session of the convention ! onight at Public auditorium.

Gandhi in Jail on Birthday

Bu United Press POONA, India, Oct. 2.—Mahatma Gandhi, leader of the Indian nationalist movement, passed his sixtyfirst birthday today in his cell behind the massive walls of Yeravda gaol. Gandhi pursued the usual prison routine he has followed since his

arrest early in May. During four hours he spun “khaddar,” rough homespun cloth, on a home-made loom, worked at translating a Hindu book of songs and took exercise in the inclosure allotted to him. In con f ormfiy with his creed of aceticism, Gandhi follows a Spartan regime in prison, living on rice, goats milk and fruit. He sleeps on the floor, dresses in a homespun undyed

Gandhi was arrested under an old law which permits him to be held Indefinitely at' “his majesty’s pleasure.” He was never charged and never sentenced. The breakdown of tentative peace negotiations Initiated by Indian "moderates” indicates that Gandhi may be held in prison for a long time yet. The government of India characterized the peace terms approved by Gandhi as “unreasonable and impracticable” and rejected them.

JARDINE URGES FIVE-DAY WEEK' FORFARMERS Might Also Be Remedy for Industrial Congestion, , Says Expert. . By United Press PARIS, Oct. 2.—Standardization of agriculture is the inevitable solution for farm ills in America, and the Russian plan of a four or fiveday week “might be the solution not only for agricultural congestion, but for general Industrial congestion as well,” William M. Jardlne, former secretary of agriculture, said here today. He and his family proceeded to Naples to .sail for Cairo, where he will begin his duties as United States minister to Egypt. Jardlne, who turned out farmers at the rate of 200 a year for fifteen years as president of the Kansas State agricultural college, said there are too many farmers in the United States. The individual farmer Is doomed, Jardine believes, Just as the Independent artisan was doomed by the machine age. He favors the hastening of the standardization of agriculture without regard for the hardships such an evolution would temporarily entail. Farmers never have made any attempt to gear their products to their markets, Jardlne said. “They go right on raising the same quantity of the same thing y§ax after year, with rather obvious results. I think it would be a good thing if many of the poor farmers get off their farms, which keep them poor, and work at something else. “We very probably can let a good many hundreds of our farms return to their natural condition.” Fire Truck Ordered WHITELAND, Ind., Oct. 2.—The town board oiWhiteland has contracted to buy anew fire truck, which will be delivered about Jan. 1.
