CLEVELAND, December 27.—A flght over free speech on the part of univer-| sity tnstructors was in the offing as the annual convention of the Association of University Professors opened today. *The possibility of dispute lay in the plan of Prof. L. I. Thurstone of the University of Chicago, who would black- list colleges and universities which dis- charge professors because their expres- sions in or out of class rooms do not | pag meet the approval of trustees. Prof. Paul Kaufman of the New At-| lantic University, Virginia Beach, Va., predicted the controversy would flare with the report of the Committee on Academic Freedom and Tenure. Some of the committee members, however, were attempting to keep the matter from the floor. Advocates of the plan sald it would provide the association with a big stick to battle for freedom of speech, inas- much as the organization numbers 10,- 000 instructors who would not be avail- able to offending schools. Its opponents contend that it could not be enforced and would make the association a “pro- fessors’ union.” Asks Permit to Return to Mexico.

French Troops May Act. I the words of the opponents Prince Louls and his summary treal ment of the acute political and eco- nomic situation should develop into deeds within the next few: days there is wide expectation that France will move troops into the principality and take over its administration, at least temporarily. One rumor today is that Prince Louis, exupenM by the dissatisfaction with his regime, will take a six-menth vac: tion, either leaving ma prlndp-my to stew in its own juice or asking Fran to_come to his aid. | that the only remedy for Monaco's ills is for a bigger and better tourist season with more wealthy American and British spenders and that with recurrent political disorder there is little chancg of this. Councils Were Powerless. A combination of the worldwide economic crisis. and intensified com- p!flflon of Nice, Cannes, Juan Les Pins and other up-m-lhe -minute re- sorts whose attractions make dim and faded the splendors of Monte Carlo, the casino season looms none too favor- ably. Without visitors Monaco would starve and the prince feels that she cannot afford the adverse publicity which further disturbances wourd bring. The most imaginative humorist would not biuld a funnier embroglio than that represented by the present situation. It is widely known that the suspended councils never had any real power and that some of the members, tipped off about the suspension, quit before the order appeared. \ 0dd Conflicts in Situation, Other elements in the strange hodg | podge are the old conflict between Eu- | gene Marquet, former premier, his councils, t.he company which runs the casino and the real estate company | failure case in which both Marquet and his brother are involved. | _Then there is also Prince Pierre, divorced husband of the hereditary Princess Charlotte and father of the heir apj t, little Prince Rainier.

He pointed out the restriction had been a matter of administrative reg- ulation and not a law, asserted it did not change the food and drug control labeling injurious ingredients in food. ‘The reason for the ruling, adopted 23 years ago, said Hyde, has disap- peared, for at that time corn sugar was “a muddy, brown product less it is 75 per cent sweet and has valuable properties not found in cane sugar. “There exists a potential market for corn thrdugh corn sugar,” he said, “variously estimated at 5,000,000 to 100,000,000 bushels per annum.
