DETROIT, Oct. 12-(P)-The DiesI
Committee, which opened an investi-
gation of un-American activities in
Michigan here Tuesday, announced
suddenly today it would end the hear-
ing tomorrow and return to Washing-I
ton.
Committee Chairman Martin Dies,
Democratic representative from Tex-
as, said the hearing here would be ad-
journed to permit the committee tob

open an investigation of sitdownn
strikes at the capital Monday. Pre-
viously, Dies had indicated the com-v
mittee would be here at least a week.
"There is nothing political in ourb
decision to return to Washington," c
Dies asserted. "It is our plan to call
witnesses from each city where a sit-
down strike occurred. The subject is
an important one and we believe it!t
should be studied at once." The state-!
ment was in answer to a question as
to whether "pressure" had beena
brought to move the committee fromm
Michigan because of the coming elec-
tion.
Dies said he would leave for Wash-s
ington tonight and that Rep. Haroldb
G. Mosier (D-Ohio). another member
of the committee would "clean up"
here tomorrow and join him in Wash-
ington in time for Monday's hearing.

"Who are they, to think they can

"That slogan," says J. Fred Lawton,
alumnus who helped compose "Vas-
ity'." was typical of the spirit that
used to bring us out in droves for
pep rallies, and to give the team
sendoffs like you're going to give them
Thursday."
J. Fred Lawton should know. He
has attended practically every pep
rally that has been held here in the
last twenty years.
"This sendoff you are planning to
give the team Thursday sounds great.
Every time I drive by the Michigan
Central station I am reminded of the
unbelievable numbers of students that
used to cling to that steep roof down
there, hanging on eaves and strad-
dling the ridge, to see a Michigan
team leave. They used to drag the
team down there in a big wagon, with
all the freshmen and sophomores
hauling on ropes. If the team en-
trained at night, they'd have buckets
of red fire all along the hill above
the station.
"In those days," J. Fred mused, "we
played a lot of tough games. We
played Minnesota, Navy, Ohio State,
and a lot of tough schools that weren't
in the Conference. But the boys never

Fielding Yost who used to say, 'Just
because they wear red shirts doesn't
mean they eat raw meat. Who are
they, to think they can beat Michi-
gan?"
"That was the slogan that seemed
to sum it all up. We never worried
about how many touchdowns we would
'be beaten by, or by how close a score
might be. After all, we were Michigan,
and Michigan had then and has noel
the finest football tradition in the
country. Yale, Minnesota, Northwes-
tern-who are they, to think they can
beat Michigan?
"And we had real turnouts for those
sendoffs. That was the spirit then. I
think it's coming back with a winning
football team."

Austrian Refugee Finds

With the talks in deadlock, the
Slovak delegation, sources close to
that delegation said, had decided to
ask the mediation of Chancellor Adolf
Hitler of Germany.
Troops on both sides of the frontier
appeared to be impatient.
The Slovaks who in three days of
conferences offered a variety of pro-
posals, were understood to have sug-
gested even that autonomy be provid-
ed for the heavily populated Hun-
garian areas in Slovakia, itself a
newly created autonomous state in
Czechoslovakia,
Hungary Surprised
Informed quarters said the Hun-
garians were greatly surprised at
this suggestion, and insisted upon
immediate occupation by the Hun-
garian army of the heavily populat-
ed Hungarian areas.
Hungarian sources said Hungary
wants territory that includes 840,000
Hungarians and only 145,000 Slovaks.
Czechoslovak 'census figures, how-
ever, showed only 700,000 Hungarians
in the territory demanded.
Two representatives of the new
autonomous state of Carpatho-Rus-
sia in Czeehoslovakia joined the-con-
ference today in view of the fact that
the areas proposed for occupation
also include 30.000 Russians and 57,-
000 Germans.

Program As Socialistic
HOUSTON, Texas, Oct. 12.-(RP)
The American Federation of Labor
convention, in a surprise reversal of
tactics, refused today to put its
stamp of approval on a strongly
worded report from its resolutions
committee criticizing as "socialism"
current government activities affect-
ing the labor movement.
Atevolt broke out on the floor as
soon as Matthew Wdll, chairman of
the committee, finished reading the
document, and there were cries of
opposition on the grounds the report
might be construed as an attack on
President Roosevelt's administration.
Instead of approving the reporjtas
they had previous reports demanding
the revision of the New Deal's Wag-
ner Act and wage-hour law, the dele-
gates voted unanimously to send the
report back to the executive ccuncil1
"for further study."
Woll qukckly defended the com-
mittee findings as "in no sense a]
criticism of the present administra-
tion," but his motion to adopt was
forgotten in the brief but exciting
debate that followed..
Even President William Green
joined the opposition, and sa i the
report was "to say the least, a bit
confusing."'

Japan Snaps Vital
Rail Link To Coa$
(By Associated Press)
War flames flared high in COxi
yesterday as a Japanese army of 3
000 forced its way ashore near Honi
kong and began what military exper
prophecy will be a ruthless campai
to shatter the resistance of Souther
China.
Within 24 hours the carefully pr
pared Japanese move was expecte
to test the fighting spirit and di
fenses of bomb-ripped Canton. A
ready the invaders have cut rail cor
nections with Hongkong.
Meanwhile, in Tokyo the JapaneE
Government warned the UnitE
States and other foreign powers 1
"refrain from any action calculat
to give misgivings to the Japane:
forces" in the new invasion.
Notes Sent'
Notes sent to the Tokyo embassi
of the principal powers caution
them against movements of the
troops, warships and aircraft withoi
10-day notice to the Japanese con
mand "lest unforseen accidents occi
between them and Japanese troop
warships or aircraft.'
Concurrently the foreign offi(
issued a statement that the Japanes
would "respect vested foreign 1
terests" in the zone of the sout
China expedition.
Meantime, there was no indicatio
that the Japanese would heed a warn
ing delivered to Tokyo by Britis
Ambassador Sir Alexander L. Craigi
who warned Prince Fumimaro Kc
noye, Japanese premier and foreig
minit&", tbat Aniglo-Ja tihes rela
tions might be imperiled by the Ja
panese invasion of South China.
Craigie reminded Konoye of Brit
am's vast economic and political ii
terests in South China and pointe
to the danger of incidents if the Ja
panese attack in force in areas whe
Britain has so many nationals an
so much property,.
French Protest Expected
France was expected to make simi
lar representations because of her I4
terests in Southwest China and tli
threat to her great Indo-Chines
colony.
Explaining the suddenly broadene
front, the "commander-in-chief c
the expeditionary force of Japan t
South China" issued a declaratia
that Chinese resistance "obliged th
imperial Japanese government to ds
patch a large expeditionary force I
operate in Kwangtung province, t
base of anti-Japanese and pro-con
munist China."
This first major landing operatioj
perhaps the start of a broad offensi
to dominate South China, was carrie
out under the shielding fire of nav
guns and with most extensive aeri
bombardment seen in South Chi
since last December.
Bombs ripped away three bridge

atives were established at the first
membership meeting of the Progres-
sive Club held last night at the Mich-
igan Union. Nominations for, of-
ficers were also made at this time.
Following a report which stressed
the liberal record of Governor
Murphy in respect to labor, civil
service, education and relief, the
Club went on record as supporting
his reelection. It was decided that
the Progressive Club should take the
initiative in organizing a broad
"Murphy for Governor" committee

A report on peace was given which
emphasized the importance of enlist-

secure support for the Vassar Peace

Martin Negotiates Terms
For New Contract
DETROIT, Oct. 12. --(P)-The
United Automobile Workers (CIO) I
announced tonight the settlement of.
a one-day sit-down strike at the Mo-
tor Products Corp., here.
The strike was called this morning
and left 2,200 workers idle. Homer
Martin, international UAW president,
lead a union delegation which con-
ferred with A. L. Lott, Motor Products
president.
After the meeting Martin said' the
strikers were instructed to vacate the
plk. t and that they would return to
work as so--i as possible. Grievances
will be negotiated while operations
continue.
The strike resulted, Martin said.
from the management's failure to
consider seniority in recalling work-
ers and because of alleged wage cuts
resulting from the installation of new
machinery. The union head said
the company had refused to negotiate
these grievances, but agreed to draft
a new contract with the UAW.
The settlement was reached in the
Detroit office of the National Labor
Relations Board.
