Would Become Totalitarian A gloomy view of European affairs and fear that America would fall prey to totalitarianism were believed today to have prompted Ernst Toller, exiled German author and lecturer, to commit suicide by hanging in his apartment in the Mayflower Hotel, Manhattan. The body of the 4-year-old writer, whose stormy career was climaxed last year with a dispute with officials of Queens College, was found by his secretary, Elsie Burroughs, who agreed with other friends In attributing his death to despondency. Toller's qimrrel with the college authorities, based on his claim that an invitation for him to speak at the institution on "Social Drama" with Brock Pemberton and John Gassner had been cancelled for "racial and political reasons," ended when Dr.

CITES SCRAPPING OF PACT Speaking of the pact which outlawed war as an instrument of national policy and which was signed by representatives of 60 nations, Bishop Stires added: "We have never made a vigorous proic-st while that treaty has been torn to shreds, nor have we made an effort to call a conference of the nations to show cause why that treaty should not be re-established and made completely effective." The Bishop urged the Christian way for an Informed and wise decision on the specific proposals now before this church." Commenting on the matter, Bishop Stires said that "the proviso that all shall be done in conformity with the canons of this church would seem to provide every safeguard and reasonable limitation."
