Pi, Cdilorialltt 9 Welcomed Sr. ca Leg liny station Definite word lias just boon received that the Social Secu rity act passages which forced college fraternities and sorori ties to pay special employment taxes has definitely been can celled by a special act of con gress. Notification was made to the executive committee of the National Interfraternity Con ference. The new amendment jroes in to effect on .Jan. 1, 1940, and provides that "domestic service in a private home, local college club, or local chapter of a col lege fraternity or sorority" be exempted after that date. The measure also excepts from the jurisdiction of the Social Security act any service that does not provide a remu neration that exceeds $1.") and service that is "performed by a student who is enrolled and is reglarly atonding classes at a school, college or university." This news is welcome here. Every fraternity and sorority on the campus, with the excep tion of two who have still chosen to fight the present taxes, will find its bookkeeping problems and finance burdens somewhat relieved. The Student Union, which will also come uiv der the amendment, will also be relieved of the embarrassment of politely telling uninformed persons who have not heard of the identification card ruling that they cannot be served. Demos take lead in fourth Daily campus political poll G. O. P. political hopes declined slightly this week, as the DAILY "Weekly Survey of Student Opin ion," Bhowed a drop in republican support on the Nebraska campus from 51.8 percent recorded a week ago to 48.5 percent at the present time. Democrats secured a back ing of 50 percent and socialists 1.5 percent, a .3 percent drop from their standing in the last survey. Still leading the candidates with sizable margins are Roosevelt at the head of the democrats and Thomas E. Dewey at the head of the republicans, both of whom captured 30 percent of the votes cast. The survey contacts one per cent of the registered student body from all parts of the campus each week. Small fry. Among the democratic candi dates, Paul McNutt held second place with a backing of 13.3 per cent and Garner trailed with a 7 percent support. Republican senti ment is weekly becoming more and more organized behind the New York district a'.orney, while other candidates are losing back ing steadily. Seven percent of those interviewed supported the Ohio Benator, Taft, and only men tion was made of Herbert Hoover, Senator Bridges, the Kansas Gov- erno" Landon, Senator Vandenberg and Senator Borah. Not 12 years. The steady decline in third term popularity was halted temporarily as the 43 percent backing recorded for it last week was repeated again in yesterdays survey. Opin ions cited in explanation of the votes indicate that the main rea son for opposing a third presiden tial term is that students feel If a man can't serve his country in eight years, it's certain he can't do it in twelve. Percentages recorded in the campus survey follow closely the trend in political sentiments in the nation as a whole, as found in the Journal "Survey of Public Opin ion." The increase in the demo cratic following over the repub lican this week suggests that a larger number of students in view of war are opposed to changing horses in the middle of the stream Royal prince opens lecture series at uni German author talks on unity of European culture in first speech "A fundamental concept of Eu ropean oneness" was the keynote of Prince Hubcrtus zu Loewen stein's opening lecture in the four weeks' series on "Present Day Eiv rope" which began yesterday. Prince Zu Loewenstein's services were offered to the university by the Carnegie Endowment of In ternational Peace. Stressing the idea that Europe, In spite of Its present wars, is a unity culturally, Prince Loewen stein traced Its development of oneness from the time of the Ro man Empire, through Tapacy dominance, to the Holy Roman Empire of the middle ages. Also emphasized was the idea that the form was not totalitarian but a federation of states with a tolerance for all peoples, cultures and religions. Prince Loewenatein. an exi'.pJ Austrian prince, praised the reign of Frederick the Great as extreme ly modern in its federal system, its toleration, and its unity. He said that although Frederick was i German prince, he regarded him self as not a German but as an European ruler. Prince Loewenstein will speak on the subject "I Saw the Allied Mobilization" at the next war forum Thursday at 4 p. m. in par lors A and B of the Union, The nrince was in France when the allies declared war against Ger many and can give a first hand account of allied efforts to meet Germany ok its own grounds.

Submarine and air activity In creased in intensity this after noon. Fighting on the western front, however, was confined to local unit skirmishes. The British Admiralty reported the loss of two more ships, but claimed that two German subma rines had been attacked by the Royal Air Force, and were be lieved to have been sunk. Rumors are current in London tonight that a de jure German government, headed by author Herrmann Rauschnigg, will be set up in England. It will immediately receive the recognition of the al lied governments. British states men, so the rumor goes, hope to clarify their war aims in this man ner, by showing the German peo ple that the allies are fighting Hitler and not the German people. In Taris tonight, Frenrh diplo mats were becoming more opti mistic. The recent British pact with Turkey seems to have given impetus to a feeling of confidence nmong the French people. The French tonight received news from envoys in Russia that as surance had been given that Rus sia nail absolutely tiecuneu to ex tend military assistance to Ger many. Trade between Germany and Russia, it was assserted, had m to break down almost be fore the commercial agreements had been put in operation. Italy s position is also becom ing increasingly difficult. All pro axis propaganda has been banned from Italian newspapers, and ar ticles criticising Hitler s alliance with Russia are more frequent. Christian Science Monitor corre- pondents report a split between il duce and his king, and predict possible ousting of the entire fascist regime. Winchell, Broad way columnist, also forecasts a breakup in the relations between Hitler and Mussolini. Niemann (Continued from Page 1.) Immediately petitions were cir culated about the campus asking that the spirited editor be rein stated. The origin of the petitions is unknown. 1,500 students stood ftehind Niemann. There was an air of mystery concerning the entire controversy. The Publications Board declining to make a statement until ofter Monday's meeting. In a published letter to the Stu dent Publication Board the DAILY staff asked that at least two rep resentatives be present at the meeting. Gayle Walker, board chairman, invited the two manag ing editors, Merrill Englund and Dick decrown to attend the meet ing. The staff based their request on the fact that they had no in formation concernine the issues that Mr. Walker stated were in volved. An atmosphere of suspense per vaded the NEBRASKAN office during the two hour lone session. aiaii members anxiously awaited news concerning their editor. At 11 . l m . . me ciose or. me meetine. news traveled quickly about the campus to the effect that Niemann had been reinstated. Niemann entered his offices with a well pleased grin across his face it was entirely evident that his position was again secure. Niemann expresses regrets in nn official statement that Niemann made for publication he said. "I have expressed reirreta to the Student Publication Board for the hasty, ill advised, premature pumicauon or the particular storv The editorial, which seemed to ap year m nn inopportune time, was in no way directed toward the board." His statement did not seem to clarify the controversy sun existing between the DAILY and the Editorial and Publicity o nee as 10 me prior right to cam pus news. carrou fjliouinard, Editorial and Publicity head, denied that his of rice had ever had any intentions of supressing campus news or had ever instructed professors to keep news irom daily reporters.
