FASCISM RULES
ITALY SCHOOLS
Professors Must Subscribe to
Mussolini Doctrines To
Hold Jobs
ROME July 3.—(JP)—Fascism is
the sole political force drawing
breath in Italian universities today
as a result of an order promulgated
by Augusto Turati secretary of the
fascist party.
No professor may teach in the
higher schools in Italy unless he is
approved by the fascist party and
given a tessera a little nooklet on
the order of a passport. And tms
.tessera is not given unless the in-
structor declares himself in full ac-
cord with the principles of Musso-
lini's government.
In line with the fascist policy of
organizing individuals into groups
the professors must enroll them-
selves in small bodies over each
of which a leader is placea.
The fascist newspapers say that
although attacks may be made on
the order by liberals abroad the
universities.of Italy.will emerge the
better for it.
“The liberal university" says the
Tribuna “where existed the great-
est coquetry of intellectual liberty
socialism and philosophy; where
one could teach anti-clericalism an-
ti-colonialism renunciation anti-
militarism and the like; the uni-
versity where one admired more
freely the professor opposing the
state than the orthodox professor; in
which the ‘right of laziness’ of the
students correspond to the rieht of
every single professor of exhibiting
his own ethics hir own irreliglon
his own politics—certainly this uni-
versity ought to die.”
The fascist secretary’s order be-
gins: “In my capacity as secretary
of the party I assume the direct
organization of the professors free
teachers and assistant instructors
of fascist universities the most im-
portant category of studies effica-
ciously operating In the kingdom
with the definite intention of giv-
ing them a solid and harmonic br- |
ganization according to the princi-
ples and the necessity of fascism." |
Turati assigns to the professor?
two fields of activity. The first is j
in the university where they are!
to atudy the best means for carry- I
ing on lectures examinations and
the academic life. The second field ■
is in the fascist federations or or-
ganizations. Says Turati:
“In the fascist federations the
university professors will carry the !
precious contribution of their wis-

Cauticr. In the use of fireworks
on the Fourth of July has been urg-
ed by the Brownsville police and
fire departments. It has been the
custom of the police force in the
past not to enforce the city ordi-
nance against fireworks. However
police state that they will enforce
dom; the organizations of the party
ought to utilize these comrades who
by the most difficult discipline have
become learned savants. Publica-
tions conferences lectures conven-
tions all the intellectual activity
of the party ought to be done ar-
rectly and with the collaboration
of the university professors who
ought to find in the new organiza-
tion the realization of their person-
ality.”

New U. S.-Englisk
Pact Hinted At By
MacDonald In Talk
LONDON. July 3.—(/P)—Premier
Ramsay MacDonald speaking on
the debt question during his address
in the debate on the reply to the
speech from the throne in the house
of commons today said as to the
question of some new agreement
which would supersede the Dawes
plan:
"We shall go back on none of
our contracts but we shall in fu-
ture armgements not forget that
the Just business interest of our na-
tion cannot be sacrificed.”
The prime minister dealt exten-
sively with Great Britain’s foreign
relations particularly those with
America. This government he
said had two dominating concerns
first relief of unemployment and
social betterment and second
peace and security by the cordial
co-operation of the nations of the
wordl.
Essential to the latter wsa a bet-
ter understanding with America.
So far as Amercia is concerned”
continued the premier “the con-
versations that have been started
are purely of a preliminary-and ex-
ploratory character. All our past ex-
nce shows how necessary that
succeed in an object
Perfectly certain is
common «o America and ourselves.”

around in” the reporter suggested.
"Indeed you’ll do nothing of the
kind.” she promptly retorted. "He
Is here to study and it’s a hard

LAREDO I
FOUND GUILTY
Get Life And 20 Years
For Slaying Of Re-
porter
LAREDO July 3.—UP)—Raymond
West and Thomas Hernandez for
years peace officers here toccay
faced long terms In the penitentiary
for the murder of Harry Williams
newspaper reporter January 18.
West was given life and Hernan-
dez 20 years by a jury which de-
liberated two hours and 39 minutes
last night. They were charged with
choking Williams to death in the
Commercial hotel and throwing the
body in the Rio Grande where it was
recovered a month later.
The accused presented an alibi
declaring they were on a stag party
at the Love ranchthe night of the
killing. A girl Inmate of the hotel
star witness for the state testified
the officers came to the hotel about
9 p. m. seeking girls to go with
them but that the officers were so
drunk the girls would not go. They
said the officers cursed them and
threatened to jail them but finally
left.
Shortly before midnight she said
Williams came in with Buck Hood
another reporter 8nd Hood went to
a room. Williams remained seated
in the hallway. Soon she declared
the officers returned and an argu-
ment and fight followed. She said
she heard the voices of West Her-
nandez and another American.
Then there was silence followed by
the sound of a departing automo-
bile.
A physician testified the condition
of Williams’ body indicated he was
V -
choked to death. The officers de-
nied all charges.
Almost a month elapsed between
the killing and the time the body
was found in the river and an in-
ternational search was conducted.
For a time it was feared Williams
who had been in Laredo only six
weeks had been kidnaped by ban-
dits for ransom.
