Whist Party is Held By the Sons of Italy SENIORS WILL ENTERJUSINESS Poll Conducted at Williams Reveals That 30 Others Have no Definite Plans. Opielowskis, Expelled For Failing to Salute Flag, Cause Heated Controversy. (Special (o the Transcript) Belchertown, April for tho reinstatement of Belchertown's Oplelouskl children in the public schools are favorable, even though they won't saluto tho flag. This Is the opinion of Colston E. Warnc, the aggressive young Amherst economics professor.

Dr. Warno and several other members of the Amherst and Smith faculties, in addition to scores of undergraduates at both institutions have entered the battle with enthusiasm, so much so that they will try to present the case in Supreme Court If necessary. The Civil Liberties Union, whose lawyers met today in Springfield to confer concerning the conduct of the case in Superior Court next month, is giving equal attention lo both the Lynn and Belchertown cases, and its immediate concern is that the Oplelouskl children not face terms in reform school. The C. U.

Is most alarmed over the implications of the compulsory "oath" legislation. The organization, in addilion to the American League Against War and Fascism, would like to know to what extent teacher may go in compelling children to salule the flag. Liberals would also like to ascerlain whether Commissioner Reardou Is right in insisting that the law does not Interfere with the religious liberties of Jehovah's Witnesses. Professor Michele Cantarclla, teacher of Italian at Smith, is extremely curious concerning the treatment these children would experience in reform school, they should refuse to salute the flag there. Tile Amherst chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution is indignant over Opielon- skls' behavior and, maintaining that Ignace, master of the household, should bo deported to his native Poland as an undesirable alien.

Professor Warne smiles and points out the history of the years of residence In America, in which period the little Pole has kept a family of 11 in moderately comfortable circumstances. Oplel- ouskl has been employed for a quarter of a century by the Otis manufacturing company, as a dyer. The floods all but swept away Sheik Marriage a Failure Stoned, beaten and poisoiKd by her husband's people, Frances Allison (above), New Jersey heiress, said her attempt to promote international understanding by marrying an Arabian sheik had failed. Three years ago she was wed to Khalll Ben Ibrahime El Raoif In a Bagdad mosque. She announced in Hollywood that she intended to return to Arabia to divorce him and would continue to live in tho desert.

W) NEW MEMBERS ON PLAYGROUND STAFF Other Playgrounds Will be Operated Soon Thirty-four members of (he dais of 1936 at Williams college, which at present numbers about 181, plan to step into business positions immediately after graduation in June according lo a conducted recently by the Williams Record. Of the others, 30 have no definite plans; 22 will go to law school; and 10 to medical school. The Harvard law school is preferred by the graduating class as are the medicine and business schools of the same university. The tabulation further reveals that five seniors io alter the field of manufacturing, and that Journalism and insurance will claim four each. Only one student plans to study for the ministry.

that plant some time ago so Ignace has had no regular employment. He has, however, turned to his farm and to his favorite avocation, making violins, which he sells to his neighbors. He plays well as do four of his nine children. His patrons' talent, he feels, is neither good nor bad, but indifferent and his home made instruments are good enough for them. The community respects his children.

The superintendent of schools characterizes them as "comparatively superior." The parish priests, puzzled because the family was mysteriously converled from Catholicism to tile "new law" some 18 months ago speak with approval of children. Father Lorrlson of St. Adalbert's parish grants that the Oplelouskis, In their home life, "act as true Christians" but their conversion is Inexplicable to him. Many citizens of the town have doubts concerning ihc sanity of the master of the household since he is so ardent In his efforts to convert others. He is fanatically devoted to Jiidge Rutherford's and in the words of that leader: "To salute the flag means.

In effect, that the person saluting ascribes salvation to what the flag represents, whereas salvation Is of Jehovah, God." Tn the first case, held in the juvenile court al Northampton on April 17, the children had already been expelled from school for two months for refusing to salute the flag and had been brought In as delinquents. Their father was accused of falling to send them to sclrool. Judge John VV. MUson fined Ignace $20 and sentenced Dominick, 15, Sophie, 12, and Anna, 10, to Juvenile institutions. Pending the appeal the children are at home In South Belchertown.

They are being tutored by four Amherst College boys. The Jehovah's witnesses cult has in the past attributed the sort of 'persecution" which it Is now.en- countering to the Catholic church and The Associated Press, institutions which they feel, are suppressing them. Christ arrived to 1914, they believe, and all but God's faithful are to an Imminent Armageddon, following which the faithful will go to their reward. When Williams college students protested against the Teacher's Oath bill last year, representatives of the sect placed abundant quantities of literature all over the campus, feel- big that the undergraduates were so aroused sgalnst enforced oath of allegiance that they would be sympathetic to the new creed. Dr.

Warne, tall, spare, and youthful, is working hard in behalf of thg Belcherton family even though as he says," I can't speak Polish and Ignace speaks nothing else." Wame was fired 'rom the University of Pittsburgh several years ago for writ- Ing articles in the Scripps-HoVard newspapers which were favorable to Western Pennsylvania miners who were then on strike. He is a leader In the American League Against War and Fascism and appeared at Williams In an anti-war meeting three years ago. During the summer months he is director of the Wellesley College Institute for Social Research.
