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 r ; Novel Lawn Mower Bawls As I t T rims International New Students Halloween Was Due To High Each Saturday 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.

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.

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- in r ek1A " Cb -t u1 V t.lI 1!«Si By CLAYTON HEPLER "Hallowe'en came every Saturday night" with University students back ! in the days of President James Burill Withdraws Troops 1 ina thai rh av5t fL-p1G7UGr ilt 5nj Pvll Angell, according to no less an au- thority than the man whose father Santander Province was sheriff of Washtenaw County l.' t . from 1866 to 1870.

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 iReached By Franco MADRID, July 2. --(A')-Insurgent 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.

Another insurgent col- umn was reported advancing west- ward along the Valmaseda and Castro, Urdiales highway.
