PRICE FIVE CENTS Landslide Win kMakes Clark A Possibility As '40 Candidate Dodd, Hamilton, New Deal .;Backers Lose In Virginia Test For House . Seats New Deal Wins In Two Primaries WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-(P)-SenL Bennett Clark's overwhelming re- nomination in Tuesday's Democratic primary in Missouri prompted one of his senatorial colleagues to de- clare today that Clark is an oucstand- ing possibility for President in 1940. Sen. Rush Holt (Dem., W.Va.) de- scribed Clark's victory as a "great tribute to his independence of thought and action," and said it "put him in a position for important con- sideration for the Democratic presi- dential nomination" two yars hence. Clark, with the backing of the' two major Democratic factions in Mis- souri, snowed under two opponents, both of whom swore 100 per cent al- legiance to President Roosevelt. Clark has opposed some Administra- tion policies.l Hamilton Expresses Pleasure Holt wa not the only Administra- tion ctitic to rejoice over the Tuesday returns.. John Hamilton, Chairman of the Republican National Committee, viewed the results in Virginia as a Ocrushing and humiliating defeat"', for the New Deal. In that state, Rep. Howard Smith defeated Wil- liam E. Dodd, Jr., and former Rep. Colgate Darden won over Rep. No- man Hamilton. Dodd and Hamilton appealed for votes on "Support Roosevelt" platforms. Terming Dodd the "'White House candidate," Hamilton said his defeat, "coming on the heels of the defeat of Maury Maverick in Texas, again indicates the grass roots swing away from Roosevelt and the New Deal that is taking place throughout the country."C Happy Over Returns £ Hamilton said he was "very happy" over the returns from his home state of Kansas. There the Republican Senatorial nomination went to form- er Gpv. Clyde Reed. Hamilton and other Republican leaders had op- posed the Rev. Gerald B. Win'od, who lost a fight for the senatorial nomination. Roosevelt supporters viewed as fa- vqrable to their cause the results in West Virginia, fotirth state to hold primary tests Tuesday. In the only three districts with contests, pro-Ad- ministration incumbents were renom- inated. They were Representatives Ramsay, Edmiston and Johnson., Power To Speak On Photo Aids Will Address Renaissance LuncheonMeeting Mr. Eugene Power, head of Uni- versity Microfilms, will speak on "Photographic Reproductions a n d Photographic Processes as Aids to Re- search in Renaissance Materials" at the weekly luncheon meeting of the Graduate Conference on Renaissance Studies at 12:15 p. m. today in the Union. Mr. Power has been instrumental in the wide application of microfilmingt to scholarly research. He was in charge of the project for filming the books listed in the Short Title Cata- logue up to 1550, which has given the scholar of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance easy access to rare1 books and manuscripts. His plan for micro-filming of doctoral disserta- tions h1as created considerable inter-1 est and discussion in many universi- ties. Prof. James H. Hanford of Westernj Reserve University will speak at the weekly lecture at 4:15 p. m. tomorrow in the Graduate School Auditorium on "John Milton's Workshop."

Rugen, speaking on "Trends in Health 'Education," in the .University High School Auditorium. Professor Rugen said that the most important general trend in health education was the growing emphasis on the production of a well-rounded view of the subject, rather than an effort simply to teach certain factors without integration. New interpretations in health edu- cation were cited by Professor Rugen as comprising three major divisions of the field. Health service, she said, is coming to be thought of in terms of educational values instead of pure service work, while still including the customary health examinations and disease prevention. Healthful. school living, according to Professor Rugen, today means school conditions 'that are best -for learning, conditions in the physical environment of the pupil that go to make up the most congenial at- mosphere for study. Healthful school living also includes the proper plan- ning of the school daily schedule to allow for proper proportioning of time between work and rest in young chil- dren. Health instruction, another aspect of the new interpretation in health education, is coming to mean the direct application of individual exper- iences to fundamental health teach- ings, Professor Rugen said., New ideas in organization and ad- ministration of school health pro- grams, according to Professor Rugen, include the organization of the health education staff of the school directly under the school principal or his as- sistant, rather than the establish- ment of the staff as a separate de- partment on the same footing as aca- demic departments of the school ad- ministration. Toll Heavy In Reel Bombing Of Barcelona Five Franco Planes Rain Shells In Center Of City In Spectacular Attack BARCELONA, Aug. 3.--(P)-Aided by the light of a new moon, Insurgent planes raided Barcelona tonight for the third time since bombing of the Cathedral of Barcelona July 19. Roaring over the capital twice in a spectacular attack, five bombers plunged their cargoes squarely into the city, .,spreading destruction' through many of the central states. An estimate of the number of vic- tims and extent of damage was not available immediately, but it was feared they would be high. The city was blacked out at 10:40 p.m. by an air raid alarm effective for three hours. Tarragona, 50 miles west by south- west of Barcelona, was bombed earlier in the day along with simultaneously intensified attacks on the Ebro bat- tlefield and communication lines. German Club Holds Huron Hills Picnic The hills of the Huron reverberated last night with the happy sound of German songs, caroled by picnicking members of the German Club and of the faculty of the German Depart- ment. Athletic games were featured, and such German dishes as Wiener- wurst, Kartoffelsalat, Gurken and Apfelstrudell added to the enjoy- ment of the outing. Arrangements for the picnic were made by Vernon Kelett, Grad., and Herbert Birkman, Grad., who are act- ing as social chairmen of Deutscher Verein for the summer. The concluding event on the pro- gram of the Deutscher Verein will be banquet for which plans are now be- ing made. Details will be announced later this week. China, Japan Claim Gains In Air Battle Large-Scale Air Fight Near Hankow Draws Victory Claim From Both Sides Shanghai, Tokyo Stories In Conflict SHANGHAI, Aug. 4--(Thursday)- (P)-Both Chinese and Japanese claimed victory today in a large-scale air battle near Hankow, provisional Chinese capital and target of the Japanese drive up the Yangtze river. Japanese asserted that a Japanese ar fleet engaged '54 Chinese' planes, shot down 32, and destroyed seven more in a bombing raid yesterday on Hankow which ended with only two Japanese craft missing. Chinese declared they lost only six plank~ and. brought %down 12 Japanese raiders, Including one bomber. Japanese grouna forces were ad-' mitted by Chinese to have entered Hwangmei, slightly more than 100 air miles east of Hankow, but Chinese said the invaders were "under water." The city was said to have been flooded by rising Yangtze river waters which poured through broken dikes. Japs Enter Hwangmei "The warfare prevented repair of the broken embankments," Chinese said, in apparent denial of Japanese charges that the dikes were beingut deliberately to halt the Japanese ad- vance. Japanese striking at Nanchang, Chinese air base 90 miles south of the conquered Yangtze river port of Kiu- kiang, were said to have overcome Chinese resistance kto reach a point within 50 miles of their objective. Strike At Nanchang Official Japanese reports of the Hankow air battle said "all efforts of China to rebuild her air force have been pulverized by Japanese at- tacks." Japanese said they virtually had destroyed a Chinese air fleet of American, British and Russian planes. "The morale of the Chinese fliers was low," a navy communique stated. "They sought to flee but were pur- sued and shot down." Mexico Rejects U.S. Farmland Indemnity Plan Asks Two-Party Discussion Of Issue; Says Payment Is Not Required By Law MEXICO CITY, Aug. 3-MP)-Mex- ico rejected the United States' pro- posal of July 21 to submit to arbitra- tion the question of Mexico's failure to indemnify American citizens whose farm lands she has expropriated since Aug. 30, 1927. Instead, Mexico proposed two-party discussion of the issue, asserting ar- bitration to be "unnecessary" and "unlawful." A note handed by Cordell Hull, United States Secretary of State, to the Mexican Ambassador in Washing- ton, Francisco Castillo Najera, July 21 admitted Mexico's right to ex- propriate, but insisted upon prompt payment. Hull declared international law provided for this. Mexico's reply today, which Foreign Minister Eduardo Hay handed to American Ambassador Josephus Dan- iels, held that no principle of inter- national law "universally accepted in theory nor realized in practice," made obligatory the payment of immediate compensation, or even deferred com- pensation, for expropriations of a "general and impersonal nature." Secretary Hull s t a t e d t h a t $10,132,388 was the -value placed by the owners on the small farm land properties involved. City Council To Petition For $40,000 PWA Funds Decision to file a petition for $40,- 000 in PWA funds to be used for re- paving Main street was reached Tues- day night by the City Coilncil.

The suspended officers, awaiting resumption of their trial by thel union's executive board on charges that they conspired to disrupt the union, filed a 23-page document with the trial board accusing Homer Mar- tin, president of the CIO-affiliatedI auto union, with "communism." Take Play From Martin This was taking the play away from Martin, who has charged that Rich- ard Frankensteen, Ed Hall, Wyndham Mortimer and/Walter Wells, the sus- pended vice-presidents, were conspir- ing with "communists" Maurice Sugar, attorney for the1 suspended officers, said the document contained evidence purporting to link Martin with Jay Lovestone, national head of the Independent LaborI League, offshoot of the Communist Party. Lovestone was national secre-I tary of the Communist Party for fiveI years prior to his expulsion in 1929. Lovestone Runs Union "We can show Lovestone runs the< International Union in its most mi- nute details," Sugar asserted. "HeI gets lengthy reports on every detail and issues orders to Martin and Lovestone members in the union ad- ministration." Not only that, Sugar said, but thek suspended officers were willing and ready to submit evidence that "a per- son holding a responsible position in the General Motors Corp. is linked with the Martin-Lovestone conspira- tional group." Ducky Pond First, Kipke Third In All-Star Vote CHICAGO, Aug. 3-(P)-Yale's Raymond (Ducky) Pond vaulted into, first place today in the national poll to select a coach for the college All- Stars, while Harry Kipke advanced to third. Por.d's 2,808,649 points gave him an' edge of more than 60,000 over Elmer Layden of Notre Dame for the job of leading the collegiates against the professional champion Washington Redskins here August 31. Trailing Layden and his 2,747,639 points was Kipke wth 2,724,639 and Indiana's Bo McMillin with 2,682,801. Spending Called Failure CHICAGO, Aug. 3.-(P)-A forum conducted by the Republican Pro- gram Committee concluded today that government spending as a means of inducing permanent recovery of private enterprise has been a "com- plete failure." 25,976 Students Here Get Jos By Cai pus Off ice More than 25,976 jobs have been supplied 13,145 students through the Employment Bureau in the Dean of Students office since 1927,' according to figures released yesterday by Miss Elizabeth Smith, assistant in charge; of the Bureau. These figures do not include all jobs provided through the Bureau since no statistics are available for the period from its inception in 1920 to 1927. The statistics indicate that much of the work of the employment bu- reau has been taken over by the NYA since job applications since 1934,1 the year the NYA began on campus, have fallen off sharply. The report also showed that 900 jobs on 400 dif- ferent projects were supplied stu- dents through the NYA last year. The figures on student employment' for the past academic year indicate that 1,150 requests for student help, 186 less than last year, were received' by the Bureau, and that 764 students,, 92 less than last year, applied for jobs. . Of the total. number of jobs madei available last year through the Bu- reau, 162 were room jobs, 337 were board jobs, 582 were Odd jobs and 69 were clerical, laboratory and other "white collar" jobs. The Student Employment Bureau' was started in 1920 with Mrs. Mary' Stewart as head. Is Rumored Relief-Financing Dilemma Makes Session Necessary MACKINAC ISLAND, Mich., Aug. 3-(AP)-Reports that a special ses- sion of the state's relief-financing dilemma-and by now they are more than rumors-swirled and eddied about Michigan's "summer 'capitol" tonight. Governor Murphy has not yet offi- cially confirmed them. Sources close to the Governor, however, said he might issue a call for a special session within 24 hours. Murphy told the Emergency Appro- priations Committee, which voted its last $1,000,000 and some odd thous- ands for relief a week ago, that the state had virtually exhausted its avail- able financial resources. Faced with an as yet undiminishing need for relief funds, he said then, there were *two courses open. Either the state must tap other funds for relief purposes, or a special session of the legislature would be necessary "very briefly." TOKYO, Aug. 4.-(Thursday)- (W)-Soviet Russians threw four battalions against Changkufeng and Shachofeng at 10:30 p.m. Wednesday (8:30 a.m., EST., Wednesday) but met a repulse in which they lost 200 men, a Ja- panese army communique said today. MOSCOW, Aug. 3-(P)-Rusian officials declared today that the Soviet Army's operations in clashes with Japanese on the Manchoukuoan' border were purely defensive, but the public was being prepared for the possibility of a great emergency. There were indications that Russia wished to reach a peaceful settlement ven though a government commun- que warned of possible "serious con- sequences" .if Japanese "provoca- ions" continued. Moscow residents calmly went about their workaday tasks as usual and the city showed no outward evi- ence of the crisis. However, newspapers, which for seversal days had printed only the briefest mention of Japanese-Russian fighting near the junction of Korea, Siberia and Manchoukuo, w e r e ,rowded with reports of patriotic mass meetings, resolutions and letters to the editors from groups and individ- uals promising loyalty, to death n defense of 'the Soviet fatherland's frontiers. BothsPravda, Communr#at Party newspaper, and Iz-vestia, Government organ, carried photostatic copies of the Russian-Chinese treaty maps of June 26, 1866. showing the disputed Changkufeng heights as a part of Russian territory. Sailors of the Baltic fleet sent a message to Moscow that "the fleet is ready to deliver a destructive blow to the enemy" and demanded "merci- less punishment of the aggressors." Soldiers of the Moscow garrison- at present more than 4,000 miles from the Far Eastern front--voted a de- fiant resolution declaring "Let the Japanese bandits remember that If they attack us they will break their heads against granite walls of the Socialist Fatherland. riftheaGovern- ment calls us we will race to the, frontier and exterminate the fascist aggressors." 'Fully Prepared' - - Tokyo TOKYO, Aug. 4-(Thursday)-(A) -Soviet Russia was reported today to have moved up reinforcements in the Manchoukuoan border hostilities which, official circles insisted, Japan did not want to develop into war. A fog which slowed the fighting yesterday was said to have enabled the Soviet command to strengthen its forces in the disputed Changkufeng area at the junction of Korea, Siberia and Manchoukuo. Official circles declared Japan "is fully prepared if necessary" and re- peated their stand that the course of the incident, most serious in a long series of border clashes, depended upon Russia. (Russia maintains she is defending her territory and has not crossed the border.) Advices reaching Tokyo said that Soviet tanks and motor lorries rolled along the road between Novovivsk and Fashish through the day, apparently in a concentration of strength for a attempt to recapture Changkufeng and Shachofeng hills.

Mechanized equipment is in an extremely rapidly replacing manual labor, and Dr. Fang-K uei Li Tells Linguists 1 ,000 Chinese Dialects In 7 Classes Field Recording Headed By Academia Sinica Has Aided In Classification Bewildering as they are in their' intricate complexity, the more than' one thousand dialects of China can' by comparative analysis be roughly. grouped into seven main classes, ex- plained Dr. Fang-Kuei Li, visiting professor of Chinese linguistics at Yale University, to members of the Linguistic Institute in a lecture yes- terday. Recognition of the diversity of the dialects is as old .as the dawn of the Christian era, said Dr. Li, although the account then written is useless today for purposes of real compari- son. There are also sdme records existing through translations into Sanskrit and other western languages in the medieval period, but these are for only the northern dialects. For the southern the student must have and by many city-dwellers in the south, to which they emigrated long ago. Another important group is the Wu' class, composed of dialects of the common people along part of the eastern seacoast and often spoken in the same territory as the upper-class Mandarin. The Kan-hakka group is spoken in the south and southwest along the coast, Anhwei in the prov- ince of Anhwei south of the Yangtze river, Hsiang in the south, the Mm dialects in the southeast and south, and Cantonese in the south. As a basis for a comparative study of these dialectal divisions, research- ers use the north Chinese language of the 6th century A. D., said Dr. Li, although it is not, of course, the par- ent form for all the dialects, some of which had already attained independ-I ent status. Besides the regular luncheon con- ference of the Institute at the Michi- gan Union today, when Dr. Murray
