I .,,, - Official Publication Of The Summer Session VOL. XLVIIL No. 11- ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN, SATURDAY, JULY 9, 1938 PRICE FIVE CENTS U.S., Britain Reach Accord For Treatment Of Nazi Exiles Anglo-American Scheme Would Make London Capital Of New Group Consider Creation Of Branch Offices EVIAN-LES-BAINES, France, July 8.-(fP)-The United States and Great Britain were understood to have reached a tentative agreement re- garding a permanent international committee to assist refugees from greater Germany. The Anglo-American plan, it was said in well-informed quarters at the 32-nation Intergovernmental Refu- gee Conference in session here, would provide: 1. That the headquarters of the organization would be in London in- stead of in Paris, as first suggested. 2. That it remain free of close af- filiation witn existing refugee groups organized under auspices of the League of Nations. 3. For an American head, provid- ing Washington's permission could. be obtained. 4 Nations Represented The United States, Great Britain, 'rance, Argentina and Brazil would be represented on the permanent committee. Possibility of creating branch of- fices in the various European capi- tals also was under consideration, especially in those where the refugee problem is serious or likely to become $o. Approval of the Anglo-American plan by the Intergovernmental Con- fernce, which was called by Presi- dent Roosevelt, would pave the way for possible negotiations with Ger- many to hasten and systematize em- igration of German and Austrian Jews, it was said. The delegates reported that Ger- man officials had tentatively offered t6. allow Austrian Jews to leave with 20 per cent of their goods as an in- ducement to speed up emigration for more than 50,000 planning to quit Austrian Germany before the end of the year. McDonald Is Mentioned James G. McDonald of New York, chairman of President Roosevelt's committe for refugees, was mentioned in conpmitte circles as a possibility for director of the proposed London or- ganization. McDonald from 1933-35 was League of Nations high commis- sioner for refugees from Germany. Anglo-American agreement on London as headquarters for the pro- jected permanent organization was reported to have followed a desire by French delegates to limit France's participation because her financial outlay for German, Austrian and Spanish refugees already was enor- mous. British Peace Moves Balked By Arab Strike 12-Year-Old Girl Charged With Bombing Of Bus Filled With Arab Folk JERUSALEM, July 8-G)-A wave of Arab strikes spread through Pales- tine today, complicating the prob- lem of British authorities endeavor- ing Ito'crush a'bloody outbreak of Jewish-Arab guerrilla warfare. A spontaneous strike movement be- gan immediately after a new incident in a swift series of outrages-a bomb explosion at Jerusalem's Jaffa gate in which four Arabs were killed and 36 wounded. Three Jews and a 12-year-old schoolgirl were arrested following the explosion. Arab bystanders alleged the girl threw the bomb, which tore apart a bus filled with Arab country- folk. The blast brought total casualties in nine days of rapidly mounting terror to 37 killed and 150 injured. It was the gravest outbreak in recent Palestine history.

Two women botanists and foui men, tired but determineo, rested here tonight-in beds for the first time in 18 thrill-filled, dangerous days of sailing from Green River, Utah, to this Northern Arizona ham- let in untried, homemade, motorless boats. Tomorrow the battle against twist- ing currents and rapids will begin anew with their ultimate goal Lake Mead, behind Boulder Dam in Ne- vada, 666 miles from Green River. Women Say 'Swell' To bespectacled Alzada Clover, 40- year-old University of Michigan bot- anist, and her tall, athletic-type as- sistant. Miss Louise Jotter, 25, the voyage to this point was "exciting" but "swell." They belittled such nerve-wrack- ing experiences as: Losing a boat.-; Spending a chilly night alone on the river bank. An overturned craft which shot one of their number into the flood- stage stream. Wild animals crying weirdly at night. Guiding frail boats over foaming rapids which pounded against tower- ing cliffs. Watching a food supply dwindle to virtually nothing while traveling through an uninhabited wilderness. "We had swell time," the women chorused as they stepped to shre here, ending several days of eager watching by a handful of persons. Men Are Jubilant The men, Riverman Norman D. Nevills of Mexican Hat, Utah, the leader; Eugene Atkinson, University of Michigan geologist; Don Harris of Soda Springs, Idaho, a U. S. Geo- logical Surveygemploye, and artist- photographer W. C. Gibson of San Francisco, were jubilant that the first leg of the journey was successful. Miss Jotter spent one cold night alone on the banks of the river, hem- med in by precipitous cliffs. After 120 miles of calm sailing down the green river, the craft were caught in an eddy at the junction with the might Colorado. Beached after a terrific fight against swift currents and whirlpools, one empty boat broke away. Leaving Miss Jotter on shore the other ad- venturers rowed after the wayward craft. The boat was retrieved at night- fall, but the party spent the night in groups of two, three and one-Miss Jotter. Dr. Hu Shih Traces Rise Of Literature Scholar Ends Stay Here By Describing Evolution Of' Chinese Language Calls Chinese Most Developed Tongue By ELLIOT MARANISS The living, spoken language of the Chinese people is not only the most rational and highly developed in the world, but has also served as' the basis for the Chinese literary rennais- sance which broke through the ar- tificiality and incongruity of classical Chinese to create a vital and sincere literature, Dr. Hu Shih said yester- day in the fourth of a series of lec- tures being given in conjunction with the Institute of Far Eastern Studies. Dr. Hu concluded his stay here by delineating the effects of the Em- pire and the recent contact with foreign influence, the two major themes of all his lectures, upon the language and literature of the Chi- nese people. In his previous lec- tures Dr. Hu had outlined the in- fluence of the great philosophers of China's period of intellectual ma- turity upon the political organiza- tion of the Empire, the traditions of unity and nationalism that Empire engendered for 21 centuries, and the resurgence of those nationalistic feelings, as well as a newer demo- cratic passion, that intercourse with modern civilization fostered. Although classical Chinese had become dead by the Second Cen- tury B. C., Dr. Hu said, two forces, a united Empire which needed one lan- guage for official communications, and a unique system of civil service examinations which required a mas- tery of classical Chinese as the sole qualification for public service, en- abled the apparently dead language to linger for the 21 centuries of Em- pire life. Yet throughout this entire period, Dr. Hu maintained, while the pedants and grammarians still gnawed at the (Continued on Page 4) Angell Hall Observatory Open To Visitors Tonight The Angell Hall observatory will be open from 8 to 10 p.m. tonight, when, weather permitting, persons interested will be able to view the moon through the telescopes.

Special lunches cost- ing 12 sen (three cents) were eaten throughout the empire. Even Cab- inet members and highest military and naval officers made their re- past of one ball of rice about the size of a grapefruit with a sour pickle imbedded in the center, and drank water instead of tea. Premier Prince Fumimaro Konoye had an extra pickle, and remarked he "extravagantly" spent 131/2 sen for his repast. Another phase of the day was the "one-family, one-donation" duty to which the government called the people. Each household was re- quired as a patriotic rite to give the government one piece of metal-no matter how small or of what type. Throughout the day, thousands made solemn pilgrimages to military shrines where, according to the Shin- to belief, still live the souls of men killed in battle. 500 Attracted B yDr. Cook's Cancer Lecture Coal Tar Research Trials Revealed By Authority In TalkYesterday By BcTSEY ANDERSON More than 500 attended the lecture on "Cancer-Producing Compounds and their Chemical Relationships" given yesterday afternoon in the large amphitheatre in the Chemistry Building by Dr. J. W. Cook of the Research Institute of the Royal Can- cer Hospital of London, England. The results of experiments to iso- late from coal tar the compound re- sponsible for the cancer-producing action and the effect of a host of com- pounds subsequently synthesized and tested on mice was the subject of 'Dr Cook's lecture. The entire lecture was illustrated by slides and blackboard diagrams. Dr.Cook and his co-workers at the Royal Cancer Hospital started with the clues that workmen exposed to coal tar, especially in the case of chimney sweeps, were apt to develop cancer. They examined certain frac- tions of oils in coal tar production and found they possessed characteris- tic fluorescene spatia. Using this fact as a guide, they in- vestigated the structure and synthesis of carcenogenic compounds. For the most part they found these com- nounds to be inert hydrocarbons and Labels are numbered chronologically. * * * Japan Protests Anti-Japanese Bombing Raid Military Officials Demand Preventive Action Fron International Settlement SHANGHAI, July 8.-VP)-Japanese1 military officials today demanded that the Municipal Council of the International Settlement "immed- iately undertake steps to prevent a recurrence" of anti-Japanese terror- ism which resulted in death of two3 of their nationals.t The protest was delivered through1 the Japanese consul general and was the second to be lodged by Japanese following yesterday's outbreak of shootings and bomb throwings as the Chinese-Japanese war entered its sec- ond year. More than 15 bombs were thrown in the guerrilla attacks within the settlement and two Chinese, besides the Japanese, were killed. Setttlement authorities rounded up nearly 1,000 suspected Chinese in an effort to suppress the terrorist activi- ties and instituted a stringent patrol by troops, police and foreign volun- teer corps. Military forces marked time on most fronts. Japanese said their na- val forces were conducting mine sweeping operations below Kiukiang, 135 miles from Hankow on the Yang- tze River, preparatory to a fresh thrust at the Chinese provisional cap- ital. Six Chinese bombers attacked Ja- panese warships on the river near Nanking late today. According to Japanese accounts one of the bombers was shot down and the others flew away. Chinese guerrillas, however, raided Japanese lines far and wide. City Team Wins First Matches * * * Japan Warns Powers Ships Are In Danger SHANGHAI, July 9-(Saturday)- ()-Japanese authorities warned the United States and other neutral pow- ers today that neutral vessels and citizens along an 80-mile stretch of the Yangtze river were endangered by spreading warfare. The warning, in memoranda sent to diplomatic representatives of the neutral powers, stressed the "desir- ability of voluntary evacuation" along the Yangtze between Pukow, opposite Nanking, and Wanghsikong, halfway to Hankow, China's provisional capi- tal. In particular it cautioned against remaining in the 80-mile stretch above Kiukiang, 135 miles down- stream from Hankow. The announcement referred to pre- vious communications asking evacu- ation of river stretches, which Amer- ican and British authorities had re- jected, and declared Japanese "re- gretted" the replies which pointed out the neutral naval vessels had their flags painted on awnings. The statement said such identifi- cation was insufficient and contained an element of danger. The memorandum repeated prev- ious requests that foreign powers paint their vessels in special colors.

VibrationAired By Den Hartog New Dealers' Candidacies Are Indorsed By President Bulkley, Ohio; Barkley, Kentucky; Get FDR's Blessings For Election President Unveils Monument In Ohio ABOARD PRESIDENT ROOSE- VELT'S TRAIN ENROUTE TO OKLAHOMA CITY, July 8-(P)- President Roosevelt indorsed today the candidates of New Deal Demo- cratic Senators Bulkley of Ohio and Barkley of Kentucky in speeches be- fore cheering crowds in the two states. In the first speech of his cross- coutry tour in the morning at Mari- atta, O., he twice mentioned the name of Senator Bulkley and gave a clear indication of his preference. Bulkley is opposed by former Governor George White. At Covington, Ky., in mid-after- noon the president had strong words of praise for Senator Barkley but tempered them with compliments for Gov. A. B. Chandler, opposing Bark- ley in the August 6 -primary. Later at Louisville from the rear of the train Mr. Roosevelt gave Sena- tor Barkley a verbal pat on the back but didn't mention Chandler's name. He said he wanted to express appre- ciation of Barkley's efforts in helping the Administration to meet national problems. He said that "we need men of a national experience" to meet these problems. Surrounded by thousands at Mari- etta at the unveiling of a monument to pioneer settlers of Ohio, he told his listeners he was "pushing on" like the pioneer to find a solution to social and economic problems and express- ed the hope "you will push on with me." Cranbrook Trip Will Be Made This Afternoon Group Of 45 Scheduled To Visit Cranbrook Schools In Suburban Detroit Upwards of 45 people are expected to make the University excursion to the Schools of the Cranbrook Foun- dation in Bloomfield Hills residential section north of Detroit this after- noon. The Cranbrook Schools, begun two years ago, were opened to the public in May of this year, and are called the "most beautiful group of private schools in the Middle West." The school buildings, five in num- ber, are the Cranbrook School for Boys, the Kingswood School for Girls, the Brookside School for Children, the Cranbrook Academy of Arts, and the Cranbrook Institute of Science. The schools were built through a gift from Mr. and Mrs. George G. Booth of Detroit. Mr. Booth is the head of the Booth Syndicate newspapers. The schools are named after a simi- lar group of schools in England. Noted in particular for the excep- tional beauty of their surroundings the Cranbrook Schools will be the ob- jectives of this fourth excursion to be conducted by the University this sum- mer. LANSING, July 8.-(P)-New rulesi and regulations for the application of the sales tax were announced today by Draper Allen, managing director of the State Board of Tax Adminis- tration. Major changes covered com- mercial advertising, laundries and dry cleaners, and lumber dealers and building and trade contractors. Under the new rules, Allen said, printed and lithographed material, signs, billboards, posters, commercial photography and Neon signs adver- tising a particular product are ex- empt from the sales tax except when used for identification purposes. Pre- viously, printing and lithographed material produced upon special order of the customer obtained the only ex- emption. Desk calendars, pencils, key rings and similar advertising matter which have an intrinsic value are taxable now on the intrinsic value alone. Magazines and house organs pub- lished to convey sales promotion news and employe information are exempt only when produced upon special or- der of the customer. Sales of coal, power, soap, blueing and starch to laundries and dry cleaners were previously }exempt but Allen said a recent court\ ruling had held these items taxable. The new rule on lumber dealersE ing work. Contractors with a regu- larly established retail store who are also engaged in contracting are liable to tax on all sales, although allowed certain deductions. Contractors en- gaged solely in contractual work are not required to procure a sales tax license or make a monthly tax return but sales to them are taxable. Westinghouse Men Will Lecture Here R. E. Peterson of the Mechanics Division of the Westinghouse Elec- tricity and Manufacturing Co., Stew- art Way from the Research Labora- tories of the same firm, and R. P.

Den Hartog of Har- vard University yesterday afternoon in ' the West Engineering Building.' Professor Den Hartog, who is here. in connection with the Symposium on the Properties of Metals, being held this summer by the department of engineering mechanics in the College of Engineering, discussed vibration and the methods of removing it. His talk mainly concerned the three torsion vibration dampers. The first type he said is a mass or a spring attached to another spring, which can be' tuned to have a natural fre" quency equal to its disturbance field. This device absorbs all disturbance AnA krane the motion nf the machine The Ann Arbor tennis team, now entering into its third week of com- petition in the Southeastern Michigan Tennis League, captured its first two matches by downing Wayne, 7-2, and River Rouge, 8-1.
