Estimates of the dead ranged from an admittedly incomplete toll of 4,- 000 to 12,000. By train, plane and boat doctors and nurses were rushed to the strick- en area with food and medical sup- plies to alleviate the sufferings of sur- vivors while rescue workers dug through great masses of debris.

Aviators who flew over the city agreed with reports 2,000 had been killed there. Radio reports said "perfect order and discipline" wre being maintained in the face of disaster. Incomplete information filtering through by radio, plane and from ref- ugees said tremendous damage had been wrought in Talca, Cauquennes, San ..Carols , Parral, ,Quirihue, and other towns of the rich agricultural area.

Senate Weighs Bill To outlaw Strikebreakers Civil Liberties Committee Finds Use Aggravates Bitterness Of Strikes WASHINGTON, Jfan. 26-(A,')-Thej Senate Civil Liberties Committee, as- serting that the use of professional strikebreakers violated the labor pol- icy approved by Congress, proposed legislation today to forbid their em- ployment in industrial disputes. A two-year investigation had shown, the Committee said in an in- terim report to the Senate, that many strikebreakers stem from the under- world, that they increase rather than prevent strike violence, embitter tense situations, and prevent the ex- ercise of the right of free speech. The report asserted an employer has every right to provide protection for his property, and replace work- men, but contended that this right does not justify the use of strike- breaking agencies for those purposes. It gave the following reasons for making this statement: "The strikebreaker, furnished as a part of strike service by most agen- cies is, in' most cases, not a qualified workman but an incompetent mer- cenary, posing as a workman for the purpose of breaking strikes. He us- ually receives compensation higher than that of the regular employees, and is discharged after the strike. "The strike guard furnished by most agencies is not a man trained and qualified for police or patrol duty. Permitted, However Dates During Week A new hours regulation, limiting permission of freshmen women from 10:30 p. n. to 9:30 p.m. except or week-end nights will be put into ef- fect at the beginning of the second semester, Sybil Swartout, \'39, chair- man of Judiciary Council announced yesterday. Under the new rule, both first and ,econd semester freshmen must sign in at their dormitories or League houses by 9:30 p.m. each week night, Miss Swartout said, but freshmen women will be allowed to have dates any evening. The regulation now in effect limits' freshmen women to 8 p.m. permis- sion or 10:30 p.m. if the evening is spent at 'the library. No dates are allowed during the week for first se- mester freshmen, but during the sec- ond semester those women who make their grades are allowed one date between Monday and Friday each w'ek. "We are changing the regulation of hours for freshmen women, be- cause the old rule las been flagrant- ly violated, and enforcement has been virtually impossible," Miss Swartout said. Judiciary Council recommend- ed the new 9:30 p.m. regulation to the League Undergraduate Council who brought it before the Boards of Representatives, including Panhel- lenic Association and Assembly. The final approval of Miss Alice Lloyd, Dean of Women, to the recommenda- tion was given yesterday. The regulation allowing one-half hour permission after the conclusion of concerts or similar University func- tions is still in effect, Miss Swartout said, and it will remain in effect for the second semester. Parks Course ! To Be Taught Students Crib In Classroom, Article Claims Ninety per cent of all college stu- dents cheat on examinations before they graduate, a nationally-circulat- ed picture magazine declares in its February issue. This claim, supported by an m - signed article, was accompanied by several photographs of University of Iowa co-eds. The pictures were psed by the Iowa women allegedly to dem- onstrate the methods which students use to crib. Some of the praictices used in the classroom while writing examina- tions, it asserts, are: enclosing crib notes in a large signet ring; writing notes on starched cuffs; and reading' aver the shoulder of students in adja- cent seats. One of the "candid" snap- shots showed a girl reading notes on' a piece of paper attached to her knee. Drive To Lift Spaein Embargo BeginsToday Pressure On Government Arms Ban Is Advocated By Ann Arbor Group The Committee to Lift the Spanish Embargo, formed by campus and town groups Wednesday, will open a con- certed drive today to probe campus opinion on the embargo and to bring students' and townspeople's pressure to bear on Senators, Congressmen and the President to raise the ban on the sale of arms to the Spanish Gov- ernment. Edward Magdol, '39, chairman of the committee, last night urged stu- dents to clip the letter, inserted as an advertisement in this morning's Daily, and mail it to Senators in Washington, as a means of urging them to lift the embargo. He said a similar letter addressed to Con- gressmen will appear tomorrow in the Daily and one to the President Ion Sunday. Those who vote in the question- naire will have their identification cards marked on the back with let- ters LE in a circle, to assure a fair poll, Magdol explained. Blank telegraph forms, 1,500 multi- grahe letters and 500 blank and mimeographed post-cards will be dis- tributed at tables in the Union, the League, the Main Library and the basement of Angell all, Magdol said. The questionnaire blanks, which contain only the question "Do you favor the immediate lifting of the embargo on Government Spain," will also be handed out at the tables. Lists of all Senators and Repre- sentatives with their states will be. available at the tables, committee heads said yesterday. The newly-formed Committee is composed of representatives of the American Student Union, the Ameri- can League for Peace and Democ- racy and the Ann Arbor Committee for Medical Aid to Spain.

Mussolini Proclaims Fall Of Barcelona As 'Another Chapter Of The New Europe We Are Creating' University Is Selected Give New Subjects To The University was one of four se- lected yesterday by the Executive Board of the National Conference of State Parks to give short courses in recreational administration to State park executives, according to an As- sociated Press dispatch last night. The other schools selected are Syracuse, Oregon State and Georgia. Michigan was chosen on combined high rating of its schools of land- :cape design and forestry, said Prof. Harlow O. Whittemore, chairman of the Department of Landscape Design, when contacted last night.} The course in park administration was planned for this year at Michi- gan, but, because of insufficient en- rollment here, an agreement was made with Syracuse for them to take those who had planned to enter here for the first year, and for both schools to alternate in following years. LONDON, Jan. 26.-MP)-France announced agreement with Britain today on "necessary" steps to keep Italy from using Insurgent Spain as a stepping stone to Mediterranean supremacy while Premier Mussolini was proclaiming the fall of Barcelona As "another chapter of the new Eu- rope we are creating." Voicing official fears in both France and Britain at the implications of the Insurgent conquest of Barcelona, French Foreign Minister Georges Bonnet warned the Chamber of Dep- uties that the French-Italian dispute over colonial territory soon may be- come "a question of force." He declared France had the solid support of Britain in resisting Italian claims for part of the French colonial empire. Backing up Bonnet's announce- ment, Premier Edouard Daladier told Deputies of his own Radical-Socialist Party in Paris that "in agreement with Britain we have taken necessary measures in the Meditarranean." But the seizure of Spanish Morocco and the Balearic Island of Minorca, the latter still in Spanish Govern- ment hands, has been reported under consideration. Such moves the Itali- ans have declared would be consid- ered provocative by Italy. Mussolini's own words to Fascists I cheering under his balcony tonight to celebrate the capture of Barcelona indicated Italy would press claims 1against France with greater force now that an Insurgent victory in the Spanish Civil War seemed more cer- tain. Referring to the Spanish Govern- ment slogan "No Pasaran!" - they shall not pass---Mussolini said : "We have passed and I say to you that we will pass." His speechbeforea wildly cheering throng was interspersed with shouts of "Tunisia," France's North African protectorate, and "Corsica," island department in the Mediterranean. Il Duce's triumphant acclaim for "The new Europe we are creating" in- creased skepticism in French and British quarters that he would carry out a promise to Prime Minister Chamberlain to withdraw his forces from Spain as soon as the war is end- ed. Many believed he would offer them to quit Spain only after a colonia settlement with France. Little Resistance Is Met By Franco's Columns In Occupation Of City Insurgents Bomb Government Seat HENDAYE, France, Jan. 26 -(AP)- War-battered Barcelona fell to Gen- eralissimo Franco's Spanish, Moorish '.nd Italian troops today-the prize for the greatest victory in the long and savage civil conflict. The Insurgents met but slight re- sistance in the erstwhile Government capital. A small covering force had been left to defend the retreat of the Loyalist army protecting the last un- conquered fourth of Catalonia. Down the palm-lined boulevards of t~he Mediterranean port metropolis 1,he victorious Insurgents marched and rode-thousands of white-robed PERPIGNAN, France, Jan. 27. -(1--An Austrian who fought in Government Spain under the name of Major Henry Harding reached Perpignan today with the report that 800 of 3,000 Interna- tional volunteers were killed or wounded during an Insurgent bombing raid north of Barcelona. Moroccans, the mountain fighters of Navarre and Italians of the Littorio Division. They carried out a precise plan of occupation, some singing "La Marcha de Granaderos," others shouting the Generalissimo's name, Retreat Cut Off Many among Barcelona's war- weary population of nearly 1,500,000 persons cheered the Insurgentrcol- almns. Gunners on the semi-circullar ,siege line on the inland side of Bar- celona had cut off retreat during the two days the Insurgents maneuvered ior a mass penetration of the city. Peace of a sort came to Barcelona, but the war still raged along the edge of the northeastern Catalonian zone the Government had chosen to de- fend. Franco's airmen rained bombs on Figueras, some 60 miles northeast of Barcelona, new seat of several of the Government ministries removed when the Insurgents laid siege to Barce- lona. As pictured by Insurgent dispatches reaching the French border, the oc- cupation of Barcelona had a com- panion highlight in the distribution of large stors of food which had been ranspprted in the wake of the often sive across Catalonia. On War Rations Barcelona had been on war rations for months. The Generalissimo sent the bulk of his armies in pursuit of the Govern- ment troops. An Insurgent broadcast announced tonight that Franco's troops had oc- eupied Sabadell and Tarrasa on the Barcelona-Manresa Highway. Saba- dell is eight miles northwest of the Callen Government capital and Tar- .asa four miles farther west. Government spporters insisted hat even with the loss of all Cata- onia they still would have "reasons and resources" for waging war. Com- plete occupation of Catalonia, the northeastern corner of Spain, would leave the Government still in pos- session of the southeastern and cen- tral part embracing Madrid and V- lencia. The fall of Barcelona was in sharp contrast to the siege of Madrid which started early in November, 1936, and is still unsuccessful. The war start- d July 18, that year. Battered by bomb and shell, Bar- celona fell easily.

English Adapted To World Chaos After Munich, Lockhart Claims Mo re Than 400 Text Books Are Available For Needy Students By ELLIOTT MARANISS Although the English character re- mains essentially the same as it has been for the past three hundred years, the trend of European affairs after Munich has caused Englishmen and women to adapt themselves to a war- ridden and chaotic world, R. H. Bruce Lockhart, British author and diplo- mat told a large audience at Hill Auditorium last night. Most important of these changes, according to Mr. Lockhart, is the growing realization in England that, in the present state of Europe, tradi- tional English idealism in foreign af- fairs must be tempered with realism. The Englishman still retains his un- shakable belief in the efficacy of the League of Nations as an instrument for promoting world peace, and he still insists that a better knowledge of foreign peoples can lead only to international conciliation. As long- run. policies, Mr. Lockhart also be- lieves in the T enan uand in ih valie The Text Book Lending Library, for which contributions are now be- ing received at all branch libraries,, has received encouraging student sup- port since its inception in the fall of 1937 according to the committee in' charge. About 400 books are at present in the library available for the use of needy students. Many more are ex- pected as contributions from stu- dents at the close of the present se- mester. Moreover, a total of $2,050 has been contributed to the library by alumni who have become interest- ed in the project. This money, Dean Erich A. Walter, chairman of the committee, has revealed, has come from three alumni: the first dona- tion, $50, from R. William Boyce, '36, on Oct. 29, 1937; the second, $1,000, from an anonymous donor Jan. 7, 19IR- a +c te thid t1 nA fnm plished already by the library in thef way of supplying books to needy stu- dents, the project will not be able to fully accomplish its task until it is considerably enlarged. It is probable that at least 1,000 books will be ulti- mately needed. Students wishing to use the library may do so upon obtaining an order, from an academic counsellor or from either Prof. Dwight C. Long in Room 108 Mason Hall or Prof. A.D. Moore in Room 268 West Engineering Bldg.
