BARBARISM CHARGE WILL BE AIMED AT HITLER IN TRIAL

Bolman, Sullivan, Quinn Will Speak In Defense -- Dunn, Feibleman, and Poor to Prosecute

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

For a "barbaric act contrary to the laws of humanity and conscience", Adolph Hitler, der Fuhrer of the German Reich, will stand trial by a group of student advocates Wednesday night in the Lowell House Common Room. This act was the famous Putsch of June 30, by which at least 77 persons were put to death by the state, and will be tried by regular legal procedure with three students prosecuting, three defending, and five men connected with the University serving as judges.

Sponsored by the Debating Council, the trial will enable students to gain a practical insight into political affairs of the day, and will be conducted in a serious vein. To make the atmosphere more real, the Lowell Common Room will be lighted with special spotlights and arranged so as to resemble a courtroom.

The indictment against Germany's dictator reads as follows: "The grand jury inquest for the Debating Council of Harvard in and for the body of the University of Harvard, upon their respective oaths present: that Adolph Hitler, on the thirtieth day of June in the year of our Lord 1934, with force of arms, in the state of Germany on the continent of Europe and within the jurisdiction of this court, did unlawfully, feloniously, and with malice aforethought, commit certain high crimes against humanity, contrary to the laws of humanity."

Robert Dunn '37, Henry V. Poor '36, and Charles B. Feibleman '36, secretary of the Council, will in order carry on the prosecution of der Fuhrer on the specific grounds among others, that the laws of humanity and of conscience were violated on June 30, that acts at that time were barbaric, and that the sanctity of the home was violated, such as in the case of General von Schleicher.

These charges will be met by three more student lawyers on the grounds of political expediency and just causes. The counsel for the defense includes Fred- that was slow. Twice Hobin got off little quick kicks that went sipping over the Crimson backs before they realized what was happening. Then, too, on ordinary punts going in the reverse direction the Holy Cross receiver was never once nailed on the spot. A lot of distance was lost on the exchange of kicks on Saturday.

A good part of this criticism of Harvard's pass defense and work on punts comes down to the problem of speeding up the ends and tightening up on their tackling when they do get down the field. Having both Shaun Kelly and Bob Knapp injured on Saturday was a major tragedy.

Indian Passing Weak

There is, however, one very cheering thing to be considered. That is the fact that Dartmouth, the opponent this coming weekend, has been having trouble with its pass attack all season. So far, Coach Red Blaik has relied exclusively, on his Indians' running offense, operating, moreover, from a very few simple plays. This situation would fit into the present Harvard setup a good deal better than did the serial bombardment of the talented Hobin. So perhaps there's light ahead
