1 / P. 'Air 4t)tr EIGHT PAGES ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SUNDAY, JANUARY 31, 1932 HINESE MOBS STONE AMERICANS: ESE OCCUPY % ' r Combined Asiatic Fleets S., Britain Helpless Against Japan, is Claim "If the United States and Great Britain went to war with Japan as a result of the present embroglio in Shanghai, the combined fleets of both nations stationed in the Orient would be totally ineffective," Pro- fessor Joseph P,, Hayden, of the political science department, de- clared last night in a special inter- view with The Daily. "Both nations' Asiatic fleets," Professor Hayden said, "consist of old cruisers and destroyers, and their combined power against the large warships and dreadnaughts which the Japanese have at hand would hardly make a dent in any plan the Tokio government .night make." This, it was revealed, means the Asiatic squadrons'only and not the' regular Pacific or Atlantic fleets of both nations. The sending of the entire Ameri- can Asiatic squadron to Shanghai, GAMMN TO TALK AT LOCAL'CHURCH Chicago Pastor to Occupy Pulpit at Congregational Church Today; Suez to Speak. I Dr. Robert W. Gammon, of Chi- cago, speaking on "Life's Great Fundamental," will occupy the pul- pit this morning in the First Con- gregational church, in place of the pastor, Rev. Allison Ray =Heaps. In the evening, at 6:30 o'clock, he will speak on "When a Feller Needs a Friend." Robert Suez, president 'of the Chinese Club in the University, will speak at the meeting of the Ariston League, his talk centering on the situation that led up to the present crisis in Manchuria. At St. Andrew's Episcopal church, the Rev. Duncan E. Mann will have charge of the services, occupying the pulpit in place of the Rev. Henry Lewis. Following communion at 8 a.m. and church school serv- ice, he will preach the sermon at the 11 o'clock service. The Liberal Student's Uion of, the Unitarian church have listed two discussions that should prove :of interest to students.

The morning servce will be1 (Continued on Page 2) 1 which is being contemplated by the Navy department and which will probably be accomplished in a short time, is nothing unusual, Hayden went on to say, for in the past 20 years, it has been the custom for the Asiatic fleet to be sent to all Oriental ports where disturbances might affect American nationals or their, property. "The Navy department," he said, "expressly stated that the fleet would be sent only to protect Amer- icans and their property and this does not mean, as is generally sup- posed, that the United States will go to the aid of China, or enter the conflict. "At present, the Asiatic squadron is stationed at Manila, its regular winter base," Professor Hayden as- serted, "and consists of 20 destroy- es and a flagship.. This small fleet has, been the pracdiice of the Navy department eves' since the Spanish, American war and until now, its duties in protecting American in- terests have been taken for granted as a routine matter." In conclusion, Professor Hayden stated that the sending (of the Asiatic fleet is practically unimpor- tant in itself since it will only be protecting American citizens and property. If the strife ' between Japan and China were not so criti- cal and located at Shanghai the whole affair would be unnoticed. Professor Hayden declined to dis- cuss exactly what Japan and China would do or express any opipion on the whole -matter. HUNT FOR PERHSONS IN MISSING PLANE HALTED BY STORMS Search in Tehach api Mountain Region Confused by False Success Report. LINER IS LONG OVERDUE GLENDALE, Cal., Jan. 30.-(P)- A blizzard broke over the rugged Tehachapi mountains1 late today, halting a search for five men and three women, passengers and crew of a missing tri-motored air liner. Several hundred men and three score airplane pilots, who flirted with death throughout the day as they pushed the search for the liner, were thrown into wild confu- sion when two women motorists brought an unverified report that the ship had been found. The liner has been unreported since late yes- terday. Immediate check with all search- ing parties and officials failed to find support for the women's story. Then as night -darkened the storm clouds, all searching operations were brought to a temporary halt by snow swept down on the moun- tains by a high wind. Airplanes were flown back to their bases quickly and ground par- ties scurried for cover. With this issue, The Daily will suspend regular publication un- til Tuesday, February 16. A spe- cial issue for the J-Hop will be published on the night of the dance, February 12. Campus Foresees Sober Hop Week-End; In View of Last Year's Catastrophe, Houses Prepare for Possible Raids With the iemory of the liquort raids of one year ago fresh in their memories, fraternities on the cam- pus are preparing for one of the most quiet and conservative J-Hop week ends in the history of the University. To date only eight houses have applied for permission to hold house parties during the period be- tween exams and only several other applications are expected before the deadline which has been set. for- Wednesday afternoon. The Interfraternity Council and the Senate Committee on Student Affairs have acted to keep the par- ties as orderly as possible so that a repetition of the raids seems un- likely, fraternity men believe. The presence of intoxicatng liquors of any sort has been forbidden at the parties and a mother or father of an active, member of the house or Japanese Cruiser in Shanghai Attack :a member of the senate and his j wife must act as chaperones. I ne member of each house giv- in, a party has been required to sign a pledge stating that all 'the rules for parties will be abided by. This, will require him to report the misconduct, as interpreted by the regulation, any outside guest or any of the active chapter itself. The decoration committee of the J-Hop recommends that h o u s e s which have reserved places for the affair put a lamp in each booth. The reason for this is not given. Fraternities are' making certain that if the police decide to stage any more raids this year that they will be prepared. In 'the majority of houses there is a rule forbidding active members to keep liqu6r on the premises and 'at the present time there are less than ten fra- ternities that allow drinking in the house. But if a quiet weekend is expect- ed for fraternities, a noiseless one is expected for first year men. They have been refused places in the booths of fraternities, they aret not allowed to attend the parties, and.1 they are forbidd.en to enter frater- nity houses. So the first year men will go home and rest up for the intensive rushing period. Student Deprecates Fanfare Over Race Conditions in Hawaii Conditions in Hawaii are not hor- rible. The recent Massie affair has created a feeling that something is wrong, that race riots will probably break out any minute, according to Harry L. Arnold, 33M, of Honolulu. "There is no racial feeling in Hawaii at all," Arnold said. "The various races living there get along together, and the troule, if any, is purely political. Governor Judd is apparently not reacting to the situ- ation as he should. Any public in- dignation which has been mani- fested in Hawaii during the past few weeks has been against the guilty parties in particular cases, rather than against any 'race as a whole." f ... _ _ __
