Hull Protests
Man-handling
Of U.S.Official
By Jap Soldier
State Department Report
Of Incident Different
From Japanese Version
Allison Labels The
Attack Unwarranted
WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.-(P)-
Secretary Hull sent instructions to-
night to Ambassador Grew, Tokyo, to
make representations to the Japanese
government regarding the slapping
of American Third Secretary John
M. Allison, Nanking, by a Japanese
soldier.
At the same time the State De-
partment published an account of the
affair, which is at considerable vari-
ance with the official Japanese ver-
sion, and Secretary Hull took occa-
sion to praise Allison's work.
Hull's representations followed the
recent "emphatic" protest he ad-
dressed to Japan regarding violations
of the American flag and depreda-
tions against American property by
Japanese soldiers.
The State Department disclosed
that not only Allison but another
American was slapped in the face by
the Japanese soldier. This was
Charles Riggs, a member of the fac-
ulty of Nanking University, an Ameri-
can institution, whose collar was torn
off.

Promptedpby the increased sale of
benzedrine sulphate, Dean Albert C.
Furstenberg of the medical school
yesterday strongly advised students
against taking thedsleep-preventing,
nerve-stimulating drug to facilitate
study while Dr. Warren E. Forsythe,
director of the Health Service, in a
letter to local drug stores urged
them to "warn and advise against
their use."
The drug, little used here last year,
is sold in tablet form wihout pre-
scription and has replaced caffeine
in keeping students awake. A local
drug store told the Daily yesterday
that sales here increased within thel
past week, but refused to indicate byl
what amount.
D e a n Furstenberg's statement
pointed out that the sleeplessness pro-
duced by the' drug sends the student
to his examination in a state of ex-
haustion and that the effects upon
the nervous system are capable of
producing serious disability.
One student, awake for more than
100 hours, reported no ill effects, while
others claimed they slept only fitfully
and still others that their nerves were
severely jagged when the drug lost its
power.
In his letter to the pharmacists, Dr.
Forsythe cited an editorial in the
Journal of the American Medical As-
sociation which reports cases of col-
lapse, fainting and insomnia follow-
ing the use of benzedrine sulphate.

According to the State Department
account, the incident grew out of Al-.
lison's investigation of the attacking
of a Chinese woman by Japanese sol-
diers. She was taken by Japanese
from the agricultural implement shop
of Nanking University.
Allison and Riggs went to the Ja-i
panese barracks where, the woman
said, she had been attacked three'
times. They were accompanied by the
woman and by a Japanese consular
policeman and gendarmes in civilian
clothes.
Japan Won't Punish
Insult To U.S. Diplomat
SHANGHAI, Jan. 28.-(P')-A Ja-,

charge of the Nanking Embassy would
not be punished as he was "only doing
his duty."
The spokesman said the Japanese
authorities were taking a serious view
of what they considered the "insolent
attitude" of the American diplomat,

now ranking American Embassy of-

Tentative plans for a new campus
literary magazine, with provisions for
their elaboration, were submitted yes-
terday by the Board in Control of Stu-

interested persons: Edward Magdol,

three members of the English Journal
Club, Giovanni Giovannini, Morris

Meeting exactly one week after it
was appointed, the committee of
Prof. Louis A. Strauss of the English
department, Prof. E. R. Sunderland
of the Law School and Prof. William

Languages department laid down the
four point prospectus which, it was
explained, gave no assurance that the
Board would publish the magazine.
Beard Will Pay Costs L
To assure maximum circulation,
the committee stipulated that "the 
Board will pay the entire expense of
printing and will distribute it to all
subscribers to the Daily." Magdol's I
petition which prompted the Board
to name the committee sought to re-
vive the Daily's Sunday supplement
of 1922 to 1925.
The Board's committee suggested
that the magazine, literary rather
than of opinion, should be issued
whenever sufficient material war-
ranted its publication. Though the
magazine could be printed at regular
intervals, the committee pointed out
that publication dates set in advance I
would not be binding.
Plan Told To Four
The program was outlined for the1
four interested persons with the re-
quest that they prepare "a plan for1
an editorial organization includingi
a specific editorial personnel, a fore-
cast of the number and sizes of issues
for balance of the year, a name and a3
suitable format."
After the committee has gathered
all data, it will seek the Board's ap-
proval to print the magazine.
Henceforth, the committee decided,
all others interested in working for
the magazine should see one of the
four "representatives of the Univer-
sity literary interests." All informa-

Only Miners
Pay CIO Dues,
AFL President Summoned
By Mine Union To Face
Charges Of Dualism
MIAMI, Fla., Jan. 28.-()-Wil-
liam Green made plans today for a
face-to-face encounter with John L.
Lewis at the United Mine Workers
convention, asserting that the miners
were the only dues-paying members
of the Commtitee for Industrial Or-
ganization.
The American Federation of Labor
president, a member of the UMWI
himself, was summoned to appear be-
fore its convention now in session at
Washington on charges of fostering
dual unionism by chartering the Pro-
gressive Miners of America, a rival
of the United Miners in Illinois.
"I wish very much I might meet
my accusers face to face at the con-
vention and make answer to their un-
founded charges," Green declared,
indicating he was trying to wind up
his work here but could not tell yet
whether he would be able to go.
The AFL executive council con-
cluded the mine union was the "fi-
nancial angel," in Green's words, of
the CIO after studying the union au-
ditor's report for the six months end-
ed Dec. 31.
The report showed total income of
the UMW was $1,497,426.62 and Green
said the union paid $1,434,000 into
the CIO in that period, including
$650,000 to the CIO in loans and
$180,000 in taxes, $475,000 and $99,-
000 to the Steel and Textile Workers
Organizing Committees, respectively,
and $30,000 to Labor's Non-Partisan
League.

States Armament-Building
Plans Of Other Nations
Necessitates Expansion
Strenuous Senate
Opposition Likely
WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.-(P--A
presidential request for the broadest
expansion of the Army and Navy in
the nation's peace-time history went
today to Capitol Hill, where it en-
countered much approval and some
sharp criticism.
Declaring the armed forces "inade-
quate for purposes of national se-
curity," Mr. Roosevelt recommended,
among other things, a 20 per cent
increase in the Navy building pro-
gram at a cost estimated by navy of-
ficers at $800,000,000.
While many legislators called the
recommendation's "modest," "very
good" and "very wise," other state-
ments indicated that Senate debate
would explore all phases of the
Roosevelt foreign policy.
Mr. Roosevelt placed the responsi-
bility for his request "specifically and
solely" upon "the piling up of addi-
tional land and sea armaments in
other countries, in such manner as
to involve a threat to world peace
and security." He promised to con-
tinue his efforts at arms reduction
by international agreement.
His proposals were:
(1) An authorization of $8,800,-
000 for increased Army anti-aircraft
weapons; $6,080,000 of the sum to be
spent in the next fiscal year.
(22 An expenditure of $450,000
for "the better establishment of an
enlisted reserve for the Army."
(3 An expenditure of $6,080,000
for gauges, dies and other "aids to
manufacture" of army materials, $5,-
000,000 to be spent in the next fiscal
year.
(4) An appropriation of $2,000,-
000 for ammunition for the Army.
(5) A twenty-per cent increase in
the naval building program.
(6) The immediate laying down of
two battleships and two cruisers in
addition to the two battleships al-
ready planned for this year and two
already started.
(7) An appropriation of $15,000,-
000 for the construction of small naval
vessels on an experimental basis.
(8) The enactment of legislation
"aimed at the prevention of profiteer-
ing in time of w and the equaliza-
tion of the burdes of possible war."
