They also read the latest public declaration of General Chiang Kai-shek, military and political head of the Chinese government, that China will yield no more ter- ritory to Japan "even though that means fighting inadequate- ly prepared and to the death." SHANGHAI, Aug. 5.-(P-Amer- ican missionaries tonight expressed fears that generations of effort and minions of dollars spent to spread the Christian gospel might be nullified by Japanese domination of North China. As Japanese columns forged south- ward through the Hopeh-Chahar zone of undeclared war, a spreading emergency was reflected among American rresidents. Mission leaders in North China said they could see the doom of their life's work if the Japanese gain control because the Japanese regard mission- aries as inimical to their own pur- poses in continental Asia. Safety Measures Drafted In Shanghai, United States Consul- General Clarence E. Gauss drafted safety measures for the 4,000 Amer- icans here and others scattered throughout the surrounding prov- inces. A broadly-representative American Residents Emergency Committee was formed to ensure protection for American nationals, arrange for their concentration if conditions became much worse or even evacuation. Experts in transport, foodstuffs, medicine and housing were named to the committee, fulfilling a long pre- scribed formula for Americans caught in a Chinese crisis. Committee mem- bers said they were developing plans but that did not indicate that an emergency was considered imminent. Similar Precautions Taken American consular officials in other Chinese cities were taking similar precautions. The Consulate General here assumed charge of coordinating the plans, establishing communica- tions and issuing orders should a concentration near the coast be deemed necessary. A survey of mission and educa- tional enterprises in Northern Hopeh -where the Japanese already are in complete control-discloscld almost universal gloom among their Amer- ican administrators. Missions involved include the Methodist, Presbyterian, Seventh Day Adventist, American Board Mis- sion and Catholic.

Linguists Hear Delattre Speak On Late Study Vowel Length In French Is Dependent Upon Force Used, Authority States That vowel length in French is de-1 pendent chiefly upon the force used in articulating a succeeding conson- ant or consonant group, was the principle enunciated yesterday noon by Dr. Pierre Delattre of Wayne Uni- versity in speaking at the regular luncheon conference of the Linguistic Institute. In detail Dr. Delattre explained the research project upon which he has been working for two years and which is likely to occupy him many more. So far he has been able to do ex- haustive work only with two French vowels, open and close "e." It is his intention to study also the remain- ing vowels in the same way, that is, in a situation from which emotional and psychological factors have been well nigh eliminated; and then to study them again in an emotional setting in order to determine what differences may exist. Used Sentence Contexts His experimental work thus far has involved a determination of the length of vowels in sentence contexts, but not in actual colloquial speech. Dr. Delattre defended the study of sounds in contert by the argument that artificial nonsense syllables are too far removed from any real sit- uation to provide significant data. Already, said Dr. Delattre, it seems clear that if the vowel, particularly the French open or close "e," is fol- lowed by a consonant requiring con- siderable force, then the vowel is de- terminably shorter. A fairly accu- rate mathematical proportion ob- tains, it appears, in the ratio between force and duration. Deny Differences In Languages Thus the strong voiceless stop con- sonants, "p," "t," and "k," reduce the duration of the preceding vowel to about fifteen hundredths of a sec- ond. Gradually the duration in- creases before a following "f," "1," "n," "m," s," sh,"d," g," b," "ny" (palatalized "n"), and "j," in that order. Finally comes the group "v," "zh," "z," and "r," before which the vowel has a duration of about four-tenths of a second, if not longer. The vowel of "faire," he said, is, for instance, six times longer than that of the French "sector." Though Dr. Delattre suggested that there may be a difference between French, which is spoken with con- siderable tenseness, and English, which is spoken with more generally lx musculature, this suggestion was denied in the group discussion which followed his speech. Dr. Bernard Propose Eight Ways To Stop Tax Evasions Committee States Need Of Overhauling To Insure Fair Burden Of Levies Give No Estimates Of Added Revenue WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.- () -- Congressional tax experts proposed eight board methods today for tight- ening the revenue laws and prevent- ing "tax avoidance." In a report to the Senate and House, the joint committee on tax evasion and avoidance said the over- hauling is necessary "to protect the revenue, and in order that all may; bear their fair share of the tax bur- den." Committeemen made no estimates' of the additional revenue the changes would produce. Suggest Complete Dissolution ' They suggested that prompt disso- lution of foreign personal holding' companies be encouraged and that an entirely new system of corporate' taxation be devised for those remain- ing in operation. The second broad change they urged included far-reaching altera- tions in allowable deductions and even more drastic increases in sur- taxes for domestic personal holding corporations. And they recommended that Con- gress take definite action against in- corporated yachts and hobbies, in-'1 corporated personal talents, "arti- ficial" deductions for losses, similar deductions for interest and businesst expense, multiple trusts, and non-1 resident aliens who are paying low taxes on American income.1 Limit Subject Of Studyt Promising to give attention later to such subjects as community prop-l erty, percentage depletion and pen- sion trusts, the committee said lackt of time"compelled it to"confine its. proposals to those items which "may be directly classified under the head of evasion or avoidance." Existing law, it added, apparently. is adequate to take care of tax-sav- ing devices based on single premium life insurance policies issued by "fake" foreign insurance companies. The intricate remedial proposals still must be worked into the lan- guage of legislation. The House Ways and Means Committee will begin hearings on them Monday.3 Ruf us Lectures On Civilization Begin Prosecution Of League Heads BOSTON, Aug. 5.-(P)-Striking what police said they hoped would be What America Keeps a death blow to the Massachusetts In d K r0 eaBirth ControlLeague, authorities pre- pared tonight for prosecution of its president and an associate.

Karl Rufus, in yesterday's Summer Session lecture on Korean Astronomy and Civilization, stated that the first known practice of astronomy was that as carried on in ancient Korea. Very little is known of what went on in Korea, a small peninsula which is surrounded by Manchuokuo, Asia and China, Professor Rufus said. The oldest of astrological symbols and a part of the oldest astrological set were found in Korea and astrol- ogy on the peninsula was used, he explained, to give advice to the em- peror, and to aid in solving the simple problems of the people of the country. At Silla, the first eclipse ever rec-; orded was seen in the year 54 B.C., and the observatory at this place, the oldest known to man, was built in 607 A.D., Professor Rufus continued. Korea holds the record in unbroken meteorological recordings with its 400 years of uninterrupted survey- ings, according to the statement of Prof. Rufus. In this 4000 year-old state were found the oldest pictures of the East.' They were discovered on the walls of tombs and caves situated about the peninsula, Professor Rufus added. Some of the favorite designs were those depicting the four quadrants of the astrological system i which were represented by figures of animals. Korea, according to Prof. Rufus, had a very highly developed civiliza- tion long before China and other an- cient empires. In 414 A.D. the em- peror of Japan requested that physi- cians be sent from Korea, and later two pharmacists were sent to Japan, long before the first book on this subject had been written in China.

Knell Of Spoils Sounded As Bill Becomes Reality 1 Civil Service Is Approved By Governor As Pollock Watches Proceedings LANSING, Aug. 5.-(Special to The Daily)-A body blow was dealt the corrupt and creaking spoils sys- tem here today when Governor Mur- phy, ancient quill pen in hand, signed Senate Enrolled Act No. 141-the ad- ministration Civil Service bill, which, after dividing the legislature into two white-hot camps, was finally passed by a narrow vote last Saturday morn- ing. At Governor Murphy's elbow when he signed .the bill was Prof. James K. Pollock, of the University of Michigan. Prof. Pollock was chair- man of the Civil Service Study Com- mission, which, after extended inves- tigation and public hearings through- out the state, last fall prepared the original draft of the bill. As soon as Governor Murphy had affixed his signature to the bill, transforming it into law, he pre- sented the quill pen to Professor Pol- lock, expressing the belief that the enactment of the law sounded the death knell of outmoded "quill-pen ;overnment" in the State of Mich- igan. The ceremonies attending the sign- ing of the act, which took place be-I tween 11:30 and 11;45 this morning, were broadcast throughout the state by Station WWJ, of Detroit. Governor Murphy, in a short radio address, declared that the enact- ment of the bill marked a major ad-I vance in Michigan government. He said the state owed gratitude not only to the present administration but also to ex-Governor Fitzgerald, who set in motion the machinery which produced the original bill Governor (Continued on Pae 3 Retail Prices Increased O n All G.MX Cars DETROIT, Aug. 5.-()-Plans for stepping up the retail prices of all General Motors Automobiles were an- nounced today. Following closely upon the price increase announced by the Ford Motor Company and the statement of General Motors' chairman, Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., that price boosts were inevitable, Cadillac, La Salle, Olds- mobile, Pontiac, Chevrolet and Buick divisions of the corporation disclosed that the retail listings are to be in- creased. Effective August 9, Oldsmobile prices are tobe increased $45. After August 14, Cadillac units will be raised $100 and La Salle $60. Buick will raise retail prices about three or four per cent (from $30 to approxi- mately $60) on August 9. Pontiac and Chevrolet have not yet deter- mined the dates for their advances.

Vanderbilt's sleek snub-o nosed Ranger today led T.O.M. Sop-r with's Endeavour, II, the BritichE challenger, across the finish line bys approximately half a mile to score herr fourth and deciding victory in de- fense of the America's cup.9 In turning back Sopwith's secondJ bid for the "old mug" and clinchingt his third successful defense of the cup in succession, the 54-year-olds American skipper made his sweep of x four straight races something to re- member him by. Vanderbilt not only duplicated his feat of taking four in a row from SirJ Thomas Lipton's last Shamrock in 1930, when Enterprise was the de- fending sloop, but concluded the cur- rent series with a record of eight successive victories over a Sopwith challenger. Rainbow, the 1934 de- fender, took the last four from En- deavour I after losing the first two tests. Vanderbilt now has captured 12 out of 14 cup races. Only one other man in cup history, Charley Barr, defend- ed successfully three times in a row. Barr, a professional, turned the tricki with Columbia in 1899 and 1901 andr Reliance in 1903. As an' amateur, skipper, Vanderbilt is in a class by himself and undisputed master of the; sailing seas. Crisis Is Faced By Santander In Spanish War Evacuation Of Civilians Is Considered As Wounded, RefugeesCrowd City HENDAYE, Franco-Spanish Fron- tier, Aug. 5.-(P)--Reports came to- day from both sides in the Spanish civil war that Santander. last im- portant Government-held city on the Bay of Biscay coast, faced a crisis. Government sources said officials of Santander were considering evac- uation of civilians. The "City of Per- petual Spring" was reported greatly crowded with wounded and refugees from the conquered Basque country. Insurgent leaders said deserters told them Santander suffered under the squeezing of land and sea block- ades. There was a movement to sur- render, the deserters told Insurgents, and the shortage of food approached fa mina m tndtionv Union Truck Driver Fails To Pass Line Picketing continued at the Amer- ican Broach and Machine Company plant this morning as strikers await- ed word of the result of the confer- ence to be held in Lansing at 11 a.m. today between Governor Murphy, Victor Reuther, UAW organizer, a UAW legal representative, company officials and two UAW local 503 mem- bers. Pickets made no attempt to stop fourteen non-strikers who reported for york yesterday at 1 p.m. No ma- terial was shipped from the plant, however, after an out-of-town Union truck driver refused to go through picket lines. A closed meeting was held by strikers at 7 p.m. yesterday at Union Hall. Reuther wired Governor Murphy yesterday when he found officials were going to open the plant that any attempt to operate the plant would jeopardize the conference and "delay if not destroy plans for a peaceful settlement." Plans for the conference were not changed by the reopening, however. Pickets appeared in front of the plant at 6 a.m. and stayed all day. They disregarded Judge George W. Sample's injunction forbidding pick- eting or "loitering at plant ap- proaches." Sheriff Jacob Andres was reported to have asked strikers "not to cause trouble" during the afternoon. Governor Murphy praised Mayor Sadler yesterday for bringing about a temporary settlement, saying: "Mayor Sadler did an excellent job in negotiating the peaceful evacuation of the sit-down strikers and in ar- ranging conferences of both sides. Employes are entirely satisfied and settlement could not have been reached in any other way." A committee of eight strikers will go to the conference with only two, Joe Bandrofchak and Harold Kett, taking part. Francis J. Lapointe, Broach plant superintendent, announced t h a t pending the conference there would be no "hiring or replacing" workers. Deadlock Again Imminent Over Labor Measure Senate Refuses To Pass Administration Bill And It Goes Into Committee LANSING, Aug. 5.-()-The leg- islature moved into another deadlock over labor relations today. The senate, by the overwhelming vote of 18 to 9, refused to accept the administration bill previously ap- proved by the House. Democrats and Republicans alike in the senior house objected to Governor Murphy's provision permitting picketing by any local member of a union involved in a labor dispute. They insisted that picketing be limited to employes of the affected plant, or that the legalization of picketing be deleted entirely. The administration m e a s u r e, through the Senate's action, shot in- to conference committee. Because of the attitude of the Senate, adminis- tration forces were willing to accept almost any sort of compromise. In- dications were that if a labor mea- sure is adopted it will be a skeleton, merely setting up an industrial rela- tions board. Majorities were present in both Houses when the legislature recon- vened to end the special session that has been going on without transact- ing business since last Friday. Last week the Senate completed its business, adopted an adjournment resolution, and the members went home. The House refused to concur, and the Attorney General ruled that a ore-sided final adjournment of that type was illegal. The House today immediately passed a resolution fixing final ad- journment for Aug. 11, and the Sen- University and sity. the Catholic Univer-I Haber Removed When Murphy Signs Meas-ure Governor Terms Ousting Of Professor Regrettable But ApprovesNew Bill LANSING, Aug. 5.-(P)--Governor Murphy signed a bill amending the Unemployment Compensation Law. It exempts from the provisions of the act all employers having less than eight employes. The Governor objected to this sec- tion but approved the bill because it advances the date for the payment of benefits from January 1, 1949, to July 1, 1938. He declared the latter provision is so desirable the objec- tionable features of the bill must be overlooked. Murphysaid he viewed approval of the Unemployment Compensation Law as automatically removing Dr. William Haber from the four-mem- ber administrative board. The Act carried a provision that no person holding other state employment may be a board member. Haber is a mem- and Pacific Tea Company continued.I It was this strike called by the Amer- ican Federation of Labor's Teamsters'1 Union and the union's complaint that the hauling firms were employing; "thugs" to escort their trucks that brought a widespread strike which tied up a third of the city's trucks. The strike was ended yesterday afternoon after Mayor S. Davis Wil- son declared a state of emergency and forced the dismissal of the guards. It was not until early today that disorders were quieted. Move For Special Session Is Begun WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-(P)-A movement began in Congress today for a special session this fall to enact general farm legislation. Forty senators signed a petition urging that Congress reconvene by October 15 if the legislation is not passed at this session. Senator Barkley of Kentucky, the Democratic leader, suggested Presi- dent Roosevelt might call such a spe- cial session if assured that the Con- gressional agriculture committees have a farm bill ready. Some congressmen are seeking to have the President renew crop loans to check farm price declines. HAPPY TO BE ALIVE PORTOLA, Calif., Aug. 5.-(P)-- j James Christoff nearly fainted when heroes.

Elden Auker, the Tigers took a 5-3 victory over Connie Mack's Ath- letics here today before a Ladies Day crowd of 10,000 in the final games of the set. Edgar Smith, southpaw pitching his first year for the A's, allowed the Tigers eight hits, while Auker let the Mackmen take nine. At .the end of the seventh inning, the Tigers were at the short end of a 3-2 score, but in the eighth Hank Greenberg stepped up and hit the 25th homer of the season. This start- ed the Tigers and they finished the inning after collecting three runs. Pete Fox, Charlie Gehringer and Rudy York made most of the Tiger's' hits, each one collecting two.
