Navy Searches For Flie
Around Howland Island:
Fuel Shortage Blamed
Shark Threat Feared
For Flier, Navigator
WASHINGTON, July 2. - (P) -
Coast Guard headquarters were ad-
vised tonight that Amelia Earhart
was believed to have fallen into the
Pacific shortly after 4 p.m. (E.S.T.)
today.
A message from the cutter Itasca,
stationed in the vicinity of How-
land Island in the mid-Pacific, said:
"Earhart unreported at Howland
at 6 p.m. (E.S.T.). Believe down
shortly after 4 p.m. Am searching
probable area and will continue."
Earlier, the coast guard had ordered
the cuter Roger B. Taney to proceed
from Honolulu to Howland Island to
aid in the search for Miss Earhart.
Fear was expressed that Earhart
and her navigator, Fred Noonan,
might be threatened by sharks, which
infest the Pacific along the equator.
WASHINGTON, July 2.-(IP)-Ad-
miral William D. Leahy, chief of
naval operations, instructed the com-
,nandant of the naval station at Hon-
olulu tonight to render whatever aid
he may deem practicable in the
search for Amelia Earhart.
Leahy acted after receiving word
from the coast guard that Miss Ear-
hart was believed to have been forced
:lown in the Pacific in the vicinity
of Howland Island.
A number of fast surface vessels,
mostly destroyers, are now at Hon-
olulu, as well as more than a score
of long range naval bombing planes.
Honolulu is approximately 1,600
miles from Howlands.
The coast guard headquarters here
received information that Miss Ear-
, art probably ove'-shot tiny How-
land Island because she was blinded
by the glare of an ascending sun.
The message from the Coast Guard
Cutter Itasca said it was believed
Miss Earhart passed northeast of
Howland Island about 2:20 p.m.
(E.S.T.
The cutter's skipper expressed be-
lief the Earhart plane had descended
into the sea within 100 miles of How-
land.
The battle force commander at
Pearl Harbor later sent word to the
Navy Department that he was pre-
pared to send a patrol plane to How-
land Island to assist in the search.
He said the plane could leave at
about midnight (E.S.T.) and asked
the navy department for advice.
Chinese Course
Offered H e r e
For First Time
Dr. George Kennedy Leads
Class Of 20 In Modern
ChineseReading
Gathered in Ann Arbor from all
parts of the country this summer is a
group of 20 students participating in
an intensive reading course in mod-
ern Chinese which is being presented
for the first time in the history of the
Summer Session.
The course is offered by the Ameri-
can Council of the Institute of Pa-
cific Relations in association with the
Linguistic Institute and the Institute
of Far Eastern Studies. Most of the
attending students are here on small
stipends granted by the Pacific Rela-
tions Council.
Dr. George A. Kennedy, lecturer in
Chinese at Yale University, is direct-
ing the course, assisted by Mr. C. P.
Sha of the University of California.
Dr. Kennedy was born in China and
has spent more than 20 years in that
country. A graduate of Worcester
College, he took his PhD from the
University of Berlin and translated a
section of the Chinese law code for
his dissertation. For a year and a half
previous to his Yale appointment, Dr.
Kennedy was connected with the
Congressional Library.
It is Dr. Kennedy's hope that at the
end of the eight week session all of
his students will be able to read in-
telligently any modern Chinese maga-
zine with the aid of a dictionary.
Chinese as a language is far more
difficult to learn than any European

Grass Of Zeta Psis Law Institute
A new gadget for cutting grass has
just appeared on the Zeta Psi front
lawn. Its called Snookums, and its
a cow.
Few lawn mowers are in Snookums
class. Besides cutting grass she is
decorative and maybe, some day, she
will give milk. Crowning accomplish-
ment of all, she can bawl. This is
an understatement. One of the by-
standers remarked that she added
tone to the place.
Said Don Smith, owner of 50 per,
cent of the animal, "It was purely a
humanitarian impulse. We wanted
to save her from a bloody vealistic
death." At thisthe pattedbSnookums'
head affectionately. She bawled.
At first the boys had planned to
keep the heifer down in the beer
room. Smith insisted that his half
of the animal would cause no trouble.
When they got her there she bawled
and it reverberated from the walls.
Sober second thought convinced the
boys that beer and cows don't mix,
even when the cow gives milk which
Snookums doesn't.
Greatest source of worry at the
present time is the attitude of Com-
mander, the Zeta Psi St. Bernard,
who doesn't like calves. He just can't
get along with them. The calf is af-
fectionate, however, and licks every-
thing in sight. When she is very
happy she bawls. She is usually
happy at night.

By BRENT DOW ALLINSON
Under the auspices of the Carnegie
Endowment for International Peace
and with the cooperation of the po-
litical science department, a Sumier
Institute of International Law opened
its five-week session this week, in
Hutchins Hall in the Law School, for
the sixth consecutive summer, with a
distinguished faculty of four visiting
professors and the attendance of 45r
advanced students and teachers, who
have come to Ann Arbor, by invita-
tion of the Division of International
Law of the Endowment, whose direc-
tor is Dr. James Brown Scott, of
Washington, D. C.
The Endowment has employed the
faculty and reimbursed the invited
members of the Institute for their
traveling expenses, as part of its pro-j
gram, originally suggested by the latej
Andrew D. White, of encouraging the'
study and improving the teaching
of international law in the Jnited
States.
Has European Academy
The same division, one of three di-
visions of the Endowment, likewise
sustains an even larger Academy of
International Law in Europe, which
has met reGularly every sumrier for
a dozen years in the Carnegie Peace
Palace at the Hague, Holland, with

Reqtuirements
Increased Summer School
Facilities Also Factor
In Large Enrollment
Great Demand For
Graduate Degrees
Increased enrollment of 13 per cent
in this year's summer graduate school
is due to steadily increasing standards
for teachers set by boards of educa-
tion, and to the special facilities in
the Electronics, Linguistics, and Far
Eastern institutes, according to Dean
Clarence E. Yoakum of the graduate
school, and Prof. Louis A. Hopkins,
Summer Session director.
High schools are demanding mas-
ter's degrees, and colleges are asking
doctorates; and teachers hoping for
promotions find necessary extra in-
struction, Dean Yoakum said. Ap-
proximately 250 master's degrees will
be earned this summer in the grad-
uate school. Salary raises are auto-
matic in many school systems for such
additional endeavor, he said.
Factor Is Rackham School
Development of the Rackham
School for Graduate Studies is an-
other factor presented by the dean
as favorable to achieving the record
in enrollment, as well as the fact that
a larger number of people are now at-
tending colleges and desire special
work in some field of learning.
While the graduate school registra-
tion has increased by 289 persons
over this time last year, the under-
graduate school has dropped 57 reg-
istrants below last year's mark. Pro-
fessor Hopkins said that the grad-J
uate school figure would reach 400'
when many teachers arrive here next
week for a special course in the School
of Education after the National Ed-

thority than the man whose father Santander Province
was sheriff of Washtenaw County l.' t .
from 1866 to 1870.
Writing to the present sheriff, Ja-
cob B.aAndres, this 76-year-old Unit-
ed States Commissioner at Malta,
Mont., whose name is C. M. Porter,
draws a vivid picture of campus life
back in the earlier days of Ann Ar-,
Further insight of the life of those'
I times was provided by a description
of the intense religious feeling that
was everywhere evident. "Antipathyl
and hatred between religious sects-
Protestants and Catholics-ran very
high those days," the letter states.
"Thank God it is not so today. The
boy whom the mob attempted to take
belonged to one sect and the boy he
stabbed and killed belonged to the
other. Both were University stu-
dents."
The mob referred to was one thati
made an "attempt to take a prisoner
from jail and hang him," Porter says.
It was only his father's military com-
pany, known as Porter's Zouaves, andl
similar to Sheriff Andres' Veteran'sl
Military Police Reserve, that prevent-
ed any bloodshed.
"Father (Byron R. Porter) got a
tip of the mob's intentions and got
word to six or eight of his men to go
to the armory, get their muskets,
wrap them up well and come to the
jail' one by one," the letter says.
"Sure enough, the mob came, late at
night, and pounded on the south side
entrance door which opened into thei
Sheriff's office." j

Generalissimo Francisco Franco's
forces reported today they had
reached Santander Province, which
contains the city of Santander, their
major remaining objective in north-
west Spain.
Capture of 2,000-foot Mount Mello,
insurgent officers reported, gave them
a foothold in the province south of
