No. 5 ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, FRIDAY, OCT. 1, 1937 PRICE FIVF{ CENTS Chinese Reds Mass To Hold Shantung Line Against Japs Universal Boycott Of Jap Goods Demanded By British Laborites Soviets Rumored Advising Chinese SHANGHAI, Sept. 30.-W--Chi- nese Communist troops and armies of western provincial war lords were ordered into action today in an ap- parently united Chinese battle against Japanese invaders. Two hundred thousand more Chi- nese Communists were mustered to join their former enemies, Chinese Nationalist troops, on the northern fronts. An American observer re- ported thatRFGRFGRFGRFGaoinR riors of all Chinese clans are leav- ing interior and coast cities for the North China and Shanghai battle- fields. Japanese were reported continuing their advances in the north. But around Shanghai, terrific Japanese assaults failed to budge the en- trenched Chinese armies. A Japanese spokesman admitted Nippon's forces had made only slight gains. Far to the south, Chinese reported Japanese warships had destroyed a fleet of Chinese junks at Swatow. Nanking, China's capital, had its third day of respite from Japanese bombardment. Officials said they be- lieved Japanese withheld their raid-' ers because of hostile world opinion. (A Japanese spokesman at Geneva said bombardment of Chinese cen- ters will continue, if necessary. In London, the British Labor Party planned to demand an emergency session of Parliament as the first step toward a world boycott of Jap- anese goods. (An informed source in London said British colonial authorities at Hongkong had opened an inquiry into the reported sinking of a fleet of Chinese fishing junks by a Jap- anese sub~marine.) Canton, like Nanking, had respite from Japanese bombardments. North of Canton, however, a school, several houses, and a Confucian hall were reported destroyed at Tsingyuen. Ci- vilian casualties there were estimated to number 200. The new force of 200,000 Chinese Communists was mustered in Kiang- si province to meet the Japanese ad- vance through eastern Hopeh to the borders of the coastal province of Shantung. Japanese declared they had been informed that Marshal Vassily Gal- ents-Bluecher, commander-in-chief of Soviet Siberian forces, was advis- ing the Chinese armies. Japanese also said munitions and other mil- itary supplies were being shipped into China from Soviet Russia across the western province of Sinkiang.

Mussolini told the cheering throng which welcomed him home from Be- lin tonight that Italy and Germany are joined to seek a "rebirth of Eu- rope." In one of the shortest speeches Il Duce ever has made, he proclaimed: "Blackshirts-I bring a profound and indelible memory of my conver- ations with the Fuehrer of Germany. Italian and German friendship, con- secrated in the policy of the Rome- Berlin axis, has become engraved on the heart of two nations in these days and there it will remain. "Theobjects of this friendship are strict solidarity between the two rev- olutions Fascist and Nazi, the rebirth of Europe and peace between the peo- ples worthy of the name." (In Berlin, Mussolini had predict- ed Europe would turn Fascist. He had joined with Hitler in renewed denun- ciation of Communism.) Detroit Gas Co. Workers Spurn CIO In Vote Emp>loyes Ballot 2-1 For Company Union, Fraud Charged By Losers DETROIT, Sept. 30.-(P)-Detroit City Gas Co. employes chose the American Labor League and the Em, ployes' Associa~tion rather than the Committee for Industrial Organiza- tion today to represent them in bar- gaining with the company by a vote of more than two to one. The balloting, conducted by the city election commission, showed 1,- 052 votes for the Labor League and 507 for the Gas and By-Products Coke Workers' Union, a CIO affiliate. The American Labor League and the Employes' Association formed a single unit to oppose the CIO group. Martin Wagner, international vice- president of the CIO union, issued a statement after the result of the elec- tion was announced in which he charged irregularities. "We consider the vote just a tem- porary setback and we are investigat- ing gross irregularities in connection with the election," Wagner said. From the victors' camp came a statement by the Labor League at- torney, William McDowell. "This shows that employes can do for themselves without help from an outside organization," he said. "It just goes to show that there can be executives as well as politicians among employes." League Holds Isolation Policy Hinges On Italy GENEVA, Sept, 30. --UP)- The League of Nations Committee on Po- litical Questions tonight adopted a resolution which would pin the fate of nonintervention in the Spanish civil war on Premier Mussolini's at- titude towards withdrawal of Italian volunteers. Accepted after two hours and a half of bitter debate, the resolution recommended an end to non-inter- vention unless Italy withdraws Ital- ians serving with Insurgent forces. Delegates of Austria, Hungary, Bulgaria, Portugal, South Africa, and the Irish Free State opposed the res-. olution on various grounds. Debate centered on the section which said that if negotiations for withdrawa of foreign combatants failed, mem- bers of the League which are parties to the Spanish non-intervention agrement "will consider ending the policy" of non-intervention. President Eamon De Valera of the Irish Free State objected that the section was a "threat" and said his government intended to preserve the policy of non-intervention.

Black To Give Reply To Klan Charge Today In Radio Talk May Speak From Office In Supreme Court Hall At 8:30 P.M. All Three Networks To Carry Address WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.--(T)-- Associate Justice\Hugo L. Black will ask the public 'tomorrow night to judge his fitness for membership on the Supreme Court. For the first time, he will reply to those who accuse him of affiliation with the Ku Klux Klan and contend that he thereby is disqualified for service upon the nation's highest bench. Spoken, possibly, from his cham- bers within the glistening marble. walls of the Supreme Court building itself, his words will be carried to the distant corners of the country by the National, Columbia and Mu- tual broadcasting networks. Talk Will Be Precedent It will be the first time a member of the court ever has delivered a radio speech of a controversial na- ture while in office. Never has such a speech originated from the court building. What Black will say furnished a subject for excited speculation to- night. Will he deny the charges? Will he produce evidence that he long since severed any connection with the hooded order? Will he seek to disprove the newspaper articles saying he is a life member? These questions predominated. As yesterday, when 60 reporters besieged him with questions upon his return from Europe, Black uttered no public word today about the Klan charges. He could not be reached at the home of Clifford Durr, a gov- ernment attorney, where he and Mrs. Black are staying temporarily. Nor did he appear at the Capitol, or Court building. A 'close friend of the Justice said he left the Durr home early in the morning. "He wanted to be all by himself somewhere and work on his state- hment," he added. Scheduled For 9:30 Arrangements for the radio speech were made through Durr. Kenneth H. Berkeley, Washington manager for the National Broadcasting Com- pany, sent for reporters at noon and made the announcement. The speech is scheduled to go on the air at 9:30 p.m., Eastern Stand- ard Time, and while Black plans to speak for but 20 minutes, a full half-hour has been reserved for him, so that if he should wish to expand his remarks a longer time will be available. The place from which the justice speaks will not be decided until to- morrow, the broadcast official said, but it might be from the Durr home, from a Washington hotel, or: "Perhaps, he may speak from his office in the Supreme Court building. He has several places in mind." 2nd Car Abandoned By Bandits Is Found MIDLAND, Mich., Sept. 30.-(P)- With a second abandoned automobile as a clue, officers sought tonight to clear up all ramifications of an at- tempted bank robbery here Wednes- day in which one gunman was killed and another wounded. The second automobile was found eight miles south of Corunna, in Shiawassee county, at noon today. A letter in it, addressed to Jack Gra- cey, of Hamtramck, the dead robber, apparently connected it definitely with the robbery attempt. The license plates on the motor car were issued to Steve Kalisz, also of Hamtramck. Kalisz was being ques- tioned here by state police and sher- iff's officers when the discovery was reported. He said he knew Gracey and Anthony Chebatoris, thehwound- ed robber, and that Gracey had bor- rowed his automobile, but denied he knew of the robbery plans.

R b t G Cllohv of nD Graduate Awarded Safety Essay Prize WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.-UP._ The United States and Japan reached a diplomatic deadlock tonight over the question of responsibility for in- jury to Americans and American property in China. The Tokyo government capped an exchange of notes by refusing to ac- knowledge liability. The Unitedt States previously had warned Japan repeatedly that it would be held ac- countable for damage resulting from its military operations. The expression concerning liability was only one phase of Japan's reply to a sharp American protest against the bombing of Chinese non-combat- ants. Book Review Club Formed. By New SRA The formation of a new book re- view club which will review outstand- ing books dealing with important contemporary problems was an- nounced yesterday by Kenneth Mor- gan, director of The Student Relig- ious Association, successor to the old Student Christian Association. The new organization will be known as the Association Book Group and will function as an organ of the Association. "It is the purpose of the Associa- tion Book Group to bring together students who are interested in re- views and discussions of current books dealing with broad cultural,( a nin n"A vali inttc rir 'hln , 11 ,-r ,which will begin within a few weeks.'

The I-M will cooperate to' the fullest extent with the organiza- tion to make its sports program a complete success."

John M. Caldwell, '37, was awarded third prize in the college section of the C.I.T. Safety Foundation awards for essays on highway safety this summer, it was announced yesterday. Caldwell, from Terre Haute, Indi., was given a cash prize of $100 for his discussion of psychological traits and their influence in causing traffic and highway accidents. Robert Phinney, of the Newark College of Engineer- ing, won first award. The C.I.T. Safety Foundation con- ducts its contests each year, with' awards totaling $10,000. Three di- visions are set up, one for high school teachers, one for college students, and one for high school students. John W.
