Wendel. At this point the proceedings dipped into pure fantasy. Fortnight ago members of New Jersey's Court of Pardons mysteriously received copies of a 25-page "confession" to the Lindbergh kidnapping signed by one Paul H. Wendel, a 50-year-old Trenton lawyer who was disbarred in 1920 after conviction of perjury, later voluntarily spent three weeks under observation in an insane asylum, was charged in 1931 with embezzlement and fraud but escaped trial. Attorney General Wilentz got a copy of the confession, learned that Wendel was being held under guard in a State colony for mental defectives...
...unwelcome spotlight of criticism turned on the Student Council last month by Ballantine and Bowditch has born fruit in the new constitution to be submitted to that body tonight. The most encouraging sign of a chastened Council is the abandonment of many glittering and outworn pretensions as shown in the preamble of the new document. Realizing that direct jurisdiction over students was a doctrine as wishful as it was impractical, the framers of the new constitution have settled back to accept a less spectacular but more fitting role. The chief function of the council will be, "to bring before...
Just before facing the House of Commons, Mr. Eden conferred for an hour and a half at the British Foreign Office with Ambassador von Ribbentrop, who had just breakfasted at No. 10 Downing Street with the Prime Minister.

"I want, in all bluntness, to make this plain to the House: I am not prepared to be the first Foreign Secretary to go back on the British...
...reverse order. First, why won't Hitler make a non-aggression pact with Russia? Beside Russia's fostering of domestic disorder, there is the Polish question. Germany at no point adjoins Russia, Poland being the buffer; and Poland, the one nation of consequence friendly to Germany, is unwilling to sign. Aside from the folly of forfeiting Poland's good will by an agreement which would rule out German aid to an invaded Poland, Germany would have, by the terms of the proposed "Eastern Locarno", to face the prospects of affording passage to French troops through her territory in case...
...disguised hostility towards Russia is emphasized by his offer of a twenty-five year non-aggression pact to his western neighbors. Taking the quixotic hypothesis that he desires no revenge on France, one wonders why he does not give back the other leg to the dove of peace and sign a similar agreement with the Soviet. Poland may be a buffer state, but in an agreement Germany could extend her border to include Poland, as Britain has to the Rhine. If Germany's attitude were really one of peace, it would be easy to conceive of Poland as the Slavic...
