T. E. Dudley, the trial examiner, reported to the Board that the right guaranteed workers in interstate in- dustries by the Wagner Act, to or- t gaize and bargain collectively with- out interferenc or coercion, had been Violated at the Ford assembly plant in St. Louis by statements attributed to the automobile manufacture in a published inerview. Ford had been quoted, he said, as saying he would never recognize the CIO union. Dudley reportd that the union in question, The United Autmobile Workers, represented 68 per cent of the 837 production and maintenance employes in the plant. The Ford Motor Company had refused union demands for bargaining negotiations, he said. The Labor Board official recom- mended that the company bargain collectively with the union, and that it reemploy 196 workers. These work- ers either had been discharged for union activities, he reported, or were refused their jobs when the plant re- opened after a shutdown last fall. Dudley recommended also that the company disestablish as a bargaining agency for its employes the St. Louis division of the Liberty Legion of America, Inc. The examiner said evidence taken at a hearing on union cnarges of un- fair labor practices disclosed that one of the originators of the Legion was Judge Leo Schaefer of the Mu- nicipal Court In Dearborn, Mich., whose father, a schoolmate of Ford, had acquired a box lunch concession at the Ford Plant at River Rouge, (Continued on Page 3) Scholar Owes Book Collector Debt Of Culture Adams, Clements Library Head Talks To Luncheon Of Renaissance Students The scholar owes a debt of culture to the commercial book collector for having built up great libraries to fur- ther cultural research, Dr. Randolph G. Adams, director of the Clements Library, told a luncheon meeting of the Graduate Conference on Renais- sance Studies yesterday in the Union. Dr. Adams pointed out that there are three main factors in building up any great library: the scholar, who knows what books are needed in the library, the men who pay the bills for the books and the middle-man, who is the antiquarian book seller of today. In illustrating his theory of the im- portance of the book collector, Dr. Adams pointed to Samuel Clements, donor of the Clements Library as an outstanding example of the book col- lector who was not a scholar but furthered, through his work, the stu- dies of the scholar. Mr. Clements, who graduated from the University in 1882, collected, over a period of years, when he was en- gaged in the steel business in Bay City, a comprehensive and valuable library on American history which he presented to the University ip 1923. It can be seen, Dr. Adams said, scholars owe a debt of culture to the commercial book collector since "the collector puts together the things which belong together, and gives the, scholar the opportunity to investigate them intact." Renaissance Group '' 1 Grows Brighter I BULLETIN EL PASO, Texas, July 7.-) -The six-member Nevills Expe- dition, long overdue at Lee's Ferry, Ariz., on its trip down the treacherous Colorado River, was reported sighted today by two Coast Guard pilots from El Paso. The .pilots, R. W. Fendlay and J. L. Riggs, reported they had communicated with the party and that apparently its members were well and did not need aid. They sighted the expedition's boats 20 miles northeast of Lee's Ferry, the pilots reported to Lt. Perry S. Lyons, United States Coast Guard commander here. With the report from an unidenti- fied amateur radio operator that the six-member expedition in which three University people are taking part had passed Cataract Canyon on the stormy Colorado River, hopes for the safety of the party became stronger. The expedition which set out from Green River, Utah, June 20, expected to reach Lee's Ferry, Ariz., July 4, but as yet has not arrived. At Grand Canyon, the Associated Press reported, Emery C. Kolb, photo- grapher who has twice made the treacherous 300-mile canoe trip, said the national park service had picked up a short wave message from an un- identified operator who said the ex- pedition had passed Cataract Can- yon. Kolb said he bellieved that .if they had passed the Canyon they would have no difficulty reaching Lee's Ferry. University members of the expe- dition are Elzada Clover, botanist; Lois Jotter, her assistant and Eugene Atkinson, geologist. Cranbrook School Objective Of Trip Buses enroute to the Schools of the Cranbrook Foundation l16tated in the beautiful Bloomfield Hills residential section near Detroit will leave at 8:30 a.m. tomorrow from in front of An- gell Hall, according, to Prof. Louis Rouse of the mathematics depart- ment." The beauty spots of the "most beautiful private school" in the Mid- dle West will be the objectives of the fourth University Excursion, he said, and of particular interest will be the Christ's Church, the Cranbrook In- stitute of Science and the Cranbrook Academy of Arts. Daily Staff Misses 'Red,' Popular Lino Operator Michigan Daily reporters and editors are sad to lose the services of Elton "Red" Whitney, popular linotyper who served them in The Daily composing room for five years. "Red" is now in Valparaiso, Ind., where he is operating his own job-printing establishment. He was noted especially among the student journalists for his ready and willing assistance at all times and for his skill and speed at the linotype. Session Saturday EVIAN-LES-BAINS, France, July 7 --P)-The inter-governmental com- mittee attempting to solve the acute problem of thousands of racial and political.refugees heard warm words of idealism today, but few qncour- ing practical suggestions from dele- gates of seven nations wo addressed :it. The conference elected Myron C. Taylor, chairman of the United States delegation, to the presidency in tribute to President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who called it into session. Organizing its work, it voted to hold its third public session Saturday morning, when further statements of policy will be presented by national delegations, and approved appoint- ment of two sub-committees. Appoint Committee One sub-committee, headed by T. W. White of Australia, will deal with private refugee organizations; the other, to be directed by Michael Hans- son of Norway, will be a technical group to supervise a compilation of immigration laws and practices of governments, represented at the con- ference. Except for this, the committee made little progress toward solution of its problem. The apparent stumbling block still was the necessity of getting some country to receive refugees. The pub-~ lic addresses left little doubt most na- tiolis were in disposed to offer Havens. The most encouraging word was from Braziltwhosetdelegate, Helio Lobo, said the state of Sao Paulo "might' be in a position to accept an unspecified number of agricultural workers. Many City Dwellers fIt was pointed out, however, that most of the German and Austriana refugees were city dwellers. Even Palestine seemed to close tighter before Jewish refugees. A communication to the committee from the Arab National Committee there said a delegation was enroute here to argue against any increase in the Jewish population in the Holy Land. Senator Henry Berenger of France in his address made plain that Euro- pean governments expected American nations to receive refugees, saying "new countries" should bear the bur- den. Argentina was luke warm, her dele- gate, Dr. Tomas A. Lebreton, stress- ing that she was "jealous" of her "own right in all matters relating to the manner wherein and the means whereby immigrants will be allowed into our country." Belgium Filled The Belgian delegate said his coun- try was filled to capacity with ref- ugees. Beuclker Andreae of the Neth- erlands said his country was not in a position at the present time to admit any, eicept in extraordinary cases, and represented colonies as unsuit- able because of climate. White of Australia declared his country "cannot do more" than take the generous amount it is now taking while the Canadian representative, Hume Wrong, called upon Germany to "Do something" by giving her opin- ion on the refugee problem and relax- ing restrictions on removal of pos- sessions and cash assets. By CARL PETERSEN Voluntary choice or an intelligent experimentation in new political and social philosophies were, cited as the primary characteristics of the rise of modern China by Dr. Hu Shih, Dean of Peking University College of Arts, speaking yesterday in the third of a series of lectures in conjunction with the Institute of Far Eastern Studies. Three factors were stressed by Dr. Hu as contributing to the moderni- zation of China : Foreign aggression into China at the turn of the century, opening China to the western powers; long and intimate contact with the western civilization thus admitted: and the revolutions of 1911 and 1926, the former removing the monarchy, an impediment to change, the latter removing the military 'clique last stronghold of the reactionary. When the Chinese were attacked by Japan at the turn of the century, Dr. Hu said, it marked the beginning of a period of intimate contact with the western world. The key cities of Shanghai, Honkong and Tientsin rose to power, police regulations were es- tablisfied, roads were built and the westernization of China begun.' There was no man or any class of men powerful enough to protect the institutions of the Chinese people from the encroachments of western civilization, Dr. Hu said. The years of intimate contact with western powers which followed have left their irrevocable stamp on Chin- ese culture, Dr. Hu said. But it is important to remember, he empha- sized, that the contributions of the west to Chinese culture have all been voluntarily accepted by the Chinese people. "China no longer resists," he said, "she only chooses." Since the changes which the Chinese made were all adopted voluntarily, he pointed out, they will endure. With the overthrow of the age-old monarchy in 1911, Dr. Hu said, the last obstruction to newand progres- sive ideas was removed. This prog- (continued on Page 3) Bloodiest In History JERUSALEM, July 7.-(,P)-Arab tribes from Trans-Jordan were re- ported massed on the Palestine fron- tier tonight as Britain sped warships and troops to smash the bloodiest Jewish-Arab race outbreak in the Holy Land's recent history. Simultaneously, Jewish leaders warned their people against being "drawn into civil war." In a pitched battle lasting four hours British troops fought a band of 600 Arabs said to have just brossed the border from Trans-Jordan, east of Palestine and a part of Britain's Palestine mandate but governed by a local Arab administration. No British Hurt Five Arabs were reported killed and eight wounded. There were no Brit- ish casualties. Total casualties in two days of riot- ing and battling were 33 killed, 11 wounded. However, a number of Arabs were said to have succeeded in entering Palestine and to have joined their comrades in the hills fighting for "Arab independence." Tribesmen Mass The tribesmen were said to be massing south of "Tegart's Wall," the $500,000 electrified fence recent- ly completed along the Syrian bor- der, north of Palestine, to keep trouble-makers out of the country. The news of Arab reinforcements was received as Britain ordered two battalions of troops, each normally consisting of more than 800 men, from Egypt at "the earliest possible date." Already at Haifa were 'the British cruisers Emerald and Enterprise, each of more than 7,500 tons. Both arrived as the result of an emergency call. 'Moo' Called A Predication Or Non-Elliptic Utterance 'How Much' Is An Elliptie Sentence According To Professor SwadeshI Proving that linguists, like ordinary1 people, can be roused to sharp con-1 troversy over questions of English grammar, Prof. Morris Swadesh of the University of Wisconsin evoked a variety of opinions from his audience yesterday noon when he addkessed! the Linguistic Institute luncheon con- ference n the topic 'iomplementive and Elliptic Sentences in English." Professor Swadesh, who has for some time been engaged in a co-1 operative study of English grammar, prefaced his discussion by a defini- tion of a sentence as "a phonetic unit marked by a longer pause at the beginning and at the end, with cer- tain regular tonal patterns." He did ;his in order to point to a distinc- tion between the prei ational sen- tence and the non-predicational sen- tence. "Five twos," an utterance heard at the post-office stamp window, and "John chews," are prosodically alike, Dr. Swadesh pointed out, but the first is non-predicational. "A predi- cation," he explained, "is a non-el- liptic syntactic utterance, commonly having a subject and predicate." A variety of such predicational sentences was presented by the speaker as having been found in current speech. Besides the fa- miliar formal sentence with subject and predicate, he gave several cate- gories illustrated by such utterances as "Down with it!" "Hello!" "Moo," "Ouch!". and such explamative con- structions as "Oh, Charley!" "What a man!" and "Why, Willie!" But besides such utterances, which are complete in themselves, the stu- dent of modern English grammar how. Another class, he said, is con- stituted of "continuing questions," such as "Who?" in response to the' remark, "Someone is coming to see1 us tonight." "You and who else?" is1 another suchhcontinuing question. A third class here is that of comple- tions of interrupted sentences. Elliptic sentences, according to Dr. Swadesh, are utterances to which" something may easily be supplied to complete the meaning. An example is the mention of a personal name, as "Mr. Brown," in an informal intro-' duction. Other illustrations are "Happy to meet you," "Nice weath- er," "How much?" and "Eligar,' please.'' Outstanding in the subsequent gen- eral discussion was a difference of opinion over what Dr. Swadesh named as predicational utterances of' a type transitional to the elliptic, that is, street signs and such phrases as Through STOP Street." There was a consensus. that "Stop" is an imperative and hence predicational, but whether 'Through Street" is a sentence or simply a label like "black- berry jam" on a jar is a question as yet unsettled by Michigan's visiting linguists. N. Davis Declares War On Continent Is Not Imminent NEW YORK, July 7.-(OP)-Norman H. Davis, chairman of the American Red Cross and United States "Am- bassador at Large," returning from Europe today, said war was not im- minent, although the "situation is precarious." "The best informed people say the issues are not yet sufficiently well drawn," he said as he debarkedi from EfTT G T in 'r M~ffnan, "'VIt Fuel Of Stars IS Atom Nuclei, Bethe Believes Will Give Talk At Physics Colloquium Here Today; Kramers Also To Speak By BETSEY ANDERSON The fuel used to supply energy in the stars was the subject of the in- formal talk given by Prof. H. A. Bethe of Cornell University before the bi-weekly colloqium of the Physics Symposium held last night in the small amphitheatre of the Rackham Building. Prof. Bethe, who is a guest lecturer for the Symposium from June 27 to July' 15, has done a great deal of research in this field and he discussed some of his findings as well as the general theories. He opened his talk by showing the influence of Edding- ton's work in England some time ago on the way temperature and heat were distributed in the different stars. Fuel in the stars, he claimed, is formed from atomic nuclei which combine to form more complex atomic nuclei structures in somewhat the same manner as combustion. The most important atomic nuclei for the stars are of carbon. The' stars are thus heated by coal, the carbon nucleus being burned in such a way that it gives off ten million times as much energy as the combustion of a single carbon atom. The carbon atom burned combines with hydrogen, the result being a nitrogen nucleus. This is again burned and combinesuagain with hydrogen. The final result in the reproduction of the carbon nucleus and the for- mation of hydrogen nuclei, which disappear and form helium'nuclei in- stead. Thus the sun will keep going as long as there is hydrogen and will stop when all the hydrogen is con- verted into heium. Scientists have computed this - time to be approxi- mately ten billion years off, or three times as long as the sun has already. been shining. Prof. Bethe will speak at the Col- loqium this morning on the descrip- tive theory of the compound nucleus with applications to yields of nuclear reactions. Prof. H. A. Kramers of the University of Leiden, Nether- lands, will be the other guest speaker at the Colloqium this morning. He will discuss reativity and spin. Y.C.L.

Laboring all day at top speed, the President had his desk fairly clear of official business before the time came for his departure by special train at 10:30 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, tonight. One major addition was made to his itinerary-an addition which will give him an opportunity, if he chooses to use it, to lay a finger of disapproval on the renomination campaign of Senator George (Dem., Ga.). He accepted an invitation of a del- egation of Georgians, including Law- rence Camp of Atlanta, who is in the race against George, to speak at Barnesville Aug. 11 "on any subject you may deem of interest to Geor- gians." George has opposed the adminis- tration on numerous occasions. The Georgia speech will be made after Mr. Roosevelt has completed his swing across the nation and has tak- en a leisurely cruise down the Pa- cific Coast, through the Panama Canal and back to Peisacola, Fla. The occasion for the first address of the tour will be a celebration at Marietta, Ohio, tomorrow of the 150th anniversary o the settling of the Northwest Territory. The President arrives at Marietta about 9 a.m., EST, and leaves about 10:30 a.m. The time of the speech has not been announced definitely, but it will be broadcast nationally. Later in the day, the President will drop down to Kentucky, where he is expected to leave voters in no uncer- tainty about his desire for renomina- tion of Senator Barkley, Democratic leader. He will make a major talk at Covington between 3:20 pi.m and 4:20 p.m., EST. This address also will be broadcast nationally. He will make shorter talks at Louis- ville about 1:20 p.m., EST, and at Bowling Green about 9:50 p.m., these two speeches to be broadcast locally. In speeches later in Oklahoma and California, political analysts believe the President will, at least, make ges- (Continued on Page 4) Rebels Checked By Militiamen Strategic Area Of Valencia Saved From Insurgents HENDAYE France (At the Span- ish Frontier), July 7.-P-)--Spanish Government Militiamen today brought to a standstill the Insurgent drive on Valencia and announced the first gain in three days of fighting. Dispatches from Madrid said Gen. Jose Miaja's warriors drove the en- emy back into hills of the Sierra De Mora, 20 miles southeast of Teruel and 45 miles inland from the Mediter- ranean. The Insurgent attacks there ap- peared directed at Sarrion, important communications center on the Te- ruel-Sagunto highway, and Mora De Rubielos, north of the road and east of the Sierra De Mora. Today's action brought to a climax three days of heavy fighting for which Generalissimo Francisco Franco's general staff had elaborated well-laid plans only to have them disrupted by the militiamen's resistance. Government lines also held in the Campillo sector, six and one-half miles west and slightly south of Te- ruel, where another Insurgent force fought to reach Ademuz. Capture of this strategic area would give the Insurgents control of the hadquarters of the Guadalaviar- Turia river which sweeps down to Valencia. Ice Cream Social Scheduled For Needy Chinese Students Plans for an ice cream social to be given from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. July 22, on the new Mall in front of the Rack- ham School, were announced yester- day by the central committee for the affair, composed of a group of Chinese students and the Ann Arbor Independents. The proceeds from the social, which s to be sponsored by the League, will be given, for the most part, to needy Wurster, '40, who will be in charge of the girls serving the ice cream, Elizabeth Judson, '40, decorations chairman and' Juanita Pardon, '40, and Jeanne Judson, '40, are the co- chairmen in charge of properties. A program by the Chinese students will be given at the social, and the Chinese women, dressed in their na- tive costumes,- will give talks in the dormitories a few days before the event.
