THE MICHIGAN DAILY s5 - - . 1 Constitution For Philippines Will Be Drafted Soon National Guardsmen Protect North Dakota Capitol Islands Plan Convention Starting July 30; Want Speedy Independence Object To Interim' Many Steps Necessary To Bring Independence For Island Peoples By CHARLES P. NUTTER WASHINGTON, July 20.--(A)- The Philippine Islands will take their first major step toward complete in- dependence when a constitutional convention meets in Manila on July 30. . At that time the Filipinos will shift into high gear the machinery designed to make their nation an in- dependent republic by about July 4, 1945. With extraordinary speed the ma- chinery can bring into existence by next January 1 the commonwealth or interim government which, meeting all requirements of the McDuffie- Tydings independence act, will make way for the Philippine republic on July 4, 10 years hence. This 10-year interim, strenuously objected to by Filipino leaders as too long, was devised to give the islands experience in running their own gov- ernment, for readjustment of trade relations and all the complicated steps necessary for the American gov- ernment to withdraw after nearly a half century of Philippine occupa- -Associated Press Photo National guardsmen were posted at strategic spots in Bismarck, N.

Though suffering terrific hardship, all except a comparative few are declining FERA's offer of assistance in moving to land that is better- watered. Thisbecame known today when Lawrence Westbrook, assistant ad- ministrator in charge of drouth re- lief, let it be known that the pop- ulation of the drouth areas is plan- ning to stick it out. Years of insufficient moisture capped by this year's disaster have seared crops and pastures and in some places turned topsoil into great dry dunes that have buried buildings, ruining the work of generations. Unlike the tenant farmer of the south, thousands of whom are being assisted to independence in the rural rehabilitation program, these people own their.own homes. They are de- scendants of the pioneers who braved! the rigors of the west to settle it. They cling to the ancestral land. Much land has been declared by agricultural experts to be fit only for grazing. In the f ce of the refusal to move, Westbrook said, the problem now has resolved itself largely into one of helping the people where they are instead of transplanting them. Either way, he said, the cost would be about the same. Workers Get Demands, And Then Are Stumped MANORVILLE, Pa., July 20. - (R) - The 50 striking workers of the National Mirror Specialty Co. are in a quandary. A committee marched into the of- fice of Leon H. Samuels, owner, and demanded better wages and hours. The boss shook his head, thought a while and said: "Tell you what I'll do. I'll turn the plant over to you. You do the man- aging, fix the hours of work, take your wages out of the profits and pay me a salary." The men said they didn't have suf- ficient managerial experience. The committee thought some more and then decided: "We'll come back later." They hied to Pittsburg to consult Ernest C. Dunbar, mediator of the Regional Labor Board, and now he's trying to settle it. There is one room among those to be found in the cluster of University buildings over the door of which might be inscribed in letters of gold, "Silence Is Golden." It is the sound- proof room on the fourth floor of the Natural Science Buil ing. De- signed by Prof. John F. Spard, of 'Sport,' A Derelict Dog, Saves Life Of Master CHAMPAIGN, Ill., July 20. -(P) - "Sport," a mongrel dog Hugh Cain, now 12, picked out of a garbage can several years ago, has paid up his bill in full. "Sport" brought help to his master, his brother, Ray, 15, and Conway 'Dixon, 12, Thursday when they dropped unconscious of carbon mo- noxide fumes from a gas heater. The boys were revived by their father, Hugh Cain, aided by an in- halator squad. They had been washing walls and had lighted a gas heater to warm water for a shower-bath. The room was not properly ventilated, however, and the gas light quickly used up so much oxygen that all three col- lapsed. The dog, apparently unaffected by the gas, dashed to another part of the building yelping frenziedly and quickly brought help. Scientists have found that people differ widely in their ability to taste various substances. the Department of Psychology on the basis of experiments conducted by him, the room was completed along with the Natural Science Building in 1915. This haven of silence for those with distraught nerves is completely surrounded and insulated from the rest of the building by an eight inch layer of fine sand and sawdust di- vided into three smaller layers by roofing felt. There are, in addition, two separate air spaces lined with felt between the sand layer and the walls of the room itself. The floor, according to Professor Shepard, presented special difficulties in sound deadening which were met by adding, in addition to the sand- sawdust combination, a layer of cork and two of soft wood all separated one from another by air spaces. To support all this weight it was necessary to strengthen the founda- tions to the point where they would support about 450 lbs. to the square inch. ' There are three doors leading into the room all heavily lined with hair felt as is the entire interior of the room. The floor is, in addition, covered with a thick carpet. A heavy lead pipe which goes through and is sound insulated from the walls is used to lead in wires and tubing necessary for conducting experiments. So completely sound-proof is the room that a person inside cannot hear a gun shot outside and only with difficulty can detect the sound of someone beating on the walls. Psychology Department Proves To All That "Silence Is Golden" Students From China Married By Dr. Fisher Follows U. S. Plan Creation of the Philippine repub- ic, under regulations devised by con- ;ress to make it a virtual carbon copy of the United States government, rep- esents a step of utmost importance for the islands, which have sought reedom for 400 years, and will mark he United States' first surrender f sovereignty to one of its te'rri- ories. Steps necessary to bring indepen- lence to the islands include: The constitutional convention neets July 30 to prepare a consti- ution for the commonwealth govern- nent. The character and content of his constitution are carefully out- ined by the independence law. This Prof. J. R. Hayden Is Islands Vice-Governor I Prof. Joseph R. Hayden, former- ly a member of the political sci- ence department here, was ap- pointed vice-governor of the Phil- ippine Islands November 3, 1933, by President Franklin D. Roose- velt. As vice-governor, Professor Hay- den also heads the department of public instruction and is ex-of- ficio president of the Board of Re- gents of the University of Manila. The public health service is within the department of public instruc- tion and is also administered by Professor Hayden. At the time of his appointment local commentators familiar with the Philippine government viewed the move as an indication of the non-partisan character of the of- fice, coming as it did from a Dem- ocratic Administration with Frank Murphy, a Democrat as Governer- General of the archipelago. document must be approved by Pres- ident Roosevelt and then be submit- ted to the Philippine people at a plebiscite. If the document is accepted, an election will be held to select officers of the Philippine commonwealth. Fol- lowing a presidential proclamation, this government would come into be- ing, and the American governor-gen- eral would retire to make way for a high commissioner, who would be this government's observer for the next 10 years. During this interim, free trade with the mother country is prescribed within fixed limits, and. starting with the sixth and continuing to the tenth year, the commonwealth government would levy graduated export taxes on its exports to the United States, which money would be used to liquidate bonded indebtedness of the islands. Filipinos who have objected to the law claim this last provision will de- stroy chances of eventual indepen- dence, because they believe it will destroy the republic's economic chances. To Visit Manila A congressional commission, there- fore, has been appointed and will visit Manila to inquire into this objection, It also will study the possibility of shortening the transition period and withdrawing American naval bases, which the - United States otherwise would retain under the law. Anxious to obtain a constitution which will meet presidential approval without delay, the Philippine govern- ment has enlisted the advice of Rep- Pastor's Study Is'Scene Of Wedding Ceremony Of Pearl Liu,_R. B. Chen Two Chinese graduate students found the romance on the University campus this year which culminated in their marriage in the pastor's study of First Methodist Church at 10:00 o'clock yesterday morning. The stu- dents were Miss Pearl Liu of Sienyu, Fukien, China, and Ren-Bing Chen of Waukang. in central China. The vows were exchanged before Dr. Frederick B. Fisher. The bride is the daughter of Mrs. F. T. Liu of Sienyu and the late Mr. Liu, who was a missionary of the Methodist church, and Mr. Chen is the son of Rev, and Mrs. Chen of Changsha. Mrs. Bradley Moore Davis, a guest at the wedding, arranged a colorful setting of garden flowers about the study, making a lovely background.- Miss Liu, whose first name is trans- lated in English as Pearl, was charm- ing in a severely simple informal gown of white Chinese silk made in the tra- ditional style with straight lines, short sleeves and high collar, buttoned closely at the throat. The collar and sleeves were edged with green silk, which with tiny green buttons and loops to fasten the collar formed the only trimming. -With this en- semble she wore white slippers. The bride wore no hat or gloves and in keeping with the quiet informality of the occasion she carried no flowers. For the reception she wore a robe fashioned on similar lines, of. rose silk with silver brocade design. Something unusual in the weddings of Chinese students on the campus was the presence of one of the rela- tives. An uncle of the bridegroom, Dr. Matthew Chen, former resident physician of Peiping hospital, is mak- ing a tour of the world and stopped here to visit Mr. Chen, remaining here for the wedding.- Other guests at the wedding were Mrs. Fisher, Mrs. Davis, Miss Doris Hsu of Foochow, Miss Pin-dji Chen of Foochow, and Miss Doris Chen with four fraternity brothers of Mr. Chen, K. C. Lee, Chih-Chien Hsaio, of Shanghai, Ta Li of Tientsin and Yuen C. Shen of Shanghai. After the ceremony a reception was held at the; Michigan League.

Report Finds WASHINGTON, July 20. - (/P) -- Hollywood's galaxy of glamorous stars was pictured today as something like Frankenstein's monster. Attacking the "star system" as at present "exploited," an NRA report indicated that it has turned against the men who created it - the produc- ers. It tends to force salaries up to "fantastic figures"- hitting the pro- ducers a woeful blow in the pocket- book. "The inflated values which pro- ducers have placed upon a limited number of executives and artists have created a vicious circle of bidding for their services," said a report to Hugh S. Johnson by Sol A. Rosenblatt, NRA division administrator. "The creatures of the system have turned to plague their masters." Although he disclosed that the' talkies paid 110 people larger salaries in 1933 than that enjoyed by Presi- dent Roosevelt, Rosenblatt ardently championed the "artist." "As a matter of principle," he said, "no salary is excessive if the picture produced by the individual receiving the salary meets with unusual public favor, as a result of unique direction or artisti'y." What he suggested was a commit- tee to study whether it would not be better to pay stars-according to what they earn; that is, a percentage of receipts superimposed on a minimum salary base. Although the movie industry lost $19,589,393 last year, Rosenblatt re- vealed that one actor received $315,- 000 and another artist $296,250. The names were kept secret. Seems As If Fairbanks Can't Take A Mild Hint LONDON, July 20. - (1P) - Attor- neys for young Lord Ashley said charges of continued misconduct since his divorce action was brought Feb. 5 would be filed late today against Douglas Fairbanks, Sr., and Lady Ashley. "The supplementary petition re- quires an answer within 14 days if the correspondent (Fairbanks) and the respondent wish to resist it," said an attorney for Lord Ashley. Notice is to be served on lawyers for both Fairbanks and the former London cabaret performer. Fairbanks and the brown, bobbed- haired Lady Ashley flew to Paris to- gether July 7 and are now at Monte Carlo with her sister. 4.+4 ,, ,.. ..Jl CLASSIFIED ADVERTISING Phone 2-1214.

Court Gives t'eddy A New Lease On Liv inj I GRAND RAPIDS, July 20.- () - Teddy, a big German police dog will not have to be executed for the killing of a pedigreed Pomeranian named Snooks. Teddy won an acquittal here Thurs- day in the court of Justice John C. Loucks, who reviewed the evidence in Teddy's murder trial, and returned a verdict of "justifiable dogicide." Observing most of the formalities of a trial, the state and defense pre- sented evidence to Justice Loucks Thursday, even down to character witnesses from Teddy's neighborhood, who testified he was kind and de- voted to children, and never tried to harm anyone, man or beast. The defendant dog is the property of Albert Barrett, who testified that Teddy killed Snooks in self defense while the two were tangled in mortal combat on July 7. Snooks' owner and Barrett's neigh- bor, Ira Duckett, testified that Teddy had repeatedly attacked Snooks and had also bothered men and children. Assistant Prosecutor Adrian Ver- spoor presented the state's case, in- terrupted occasionally by the defen- dant, who persisted in snuggling up to/the.prosecutor and testing his af- fections. i I- l Do you have typing to be done, or do you want typing to do?
