BULLETIN
BERLIN, July 18.-(P)-A DNB
dispatch from Copenhagen said
tonight Denmark had withdrawn
from the League of Nations.
LONDON, July 18.-(P)--England
was told today in cold and matter-
of-fact phrases by Prime Minister
Churchill that her peril at home is
such that the nation's ministers'
must sleep beside their desks and
that the dangers to her empire have
made it essertial that she yield to
Japan on the other side of the world.
He made a brief, unemotional9
statement and answered questions in
the House of Commons where, yes-y
terday, news of Britain's decision to]
close temporarily the remaining
routes for supplies totherChinese
Government brought cries of "ap-
peasement" and "Munich."
Scores 'Exodus'c
In surprisingly sharp language,
Churchill also put his foot down on]
any "large scale exodus" from Britains
to overseas,
He said: "I do not believe the1
military situation requires or justi-
fies such a proceeding-having re-'
gard to the relatives dangers of
going and staying-nor, in fact, is
it physically possible."
In his Far-Eastern statement,
Churchill reiterated Britain's often-
expressed desire to contribute to "a
process of peace and conciliation be-
tween Japan and China."
Points Listed
1. Britain and Burma have agreed'
to suspend for three months the1
transport of ammunition, gasoline,
trucks and railway material to China
both from Hongkong and over the
road from Burma
2. Britain has not forgotten her
obligations to China nor .her desire
to see her free and independent, but
the dominant fact now is that "we1
ourselves are engaged in a life and
death struggle."'
3. "Rapidly growing tension" with
Japan over passage of supplies to
China demanded that something be
done yet permanent closure of the
supply routes would be repudiation
of British promises to help China;
therefore, "what we have made is a.
temporary arrangement in the hope
that the time so gained may lead to a
solution just and equitable to both."
Berlin Welcomes Home
Troops From France '
BERLIN, July 18.-(/P)-The bells
of Berlin rang jubilantly tnight to,
welcome home victorious troops from
France, while in western skies the
German airforce struck with her fury;
against England.
Even as throngs gathered along
Unted Den Linden, the high com-
mand reported new and destructive'
bombing raids in Britain and an-
nounced German troops had occu-
pied the French island of Ouessant,
opposite England's Land's End and
commanding the southern -entrance
to the English Channel.
Nazi bombers, said the high com-
mand, attacked Britain's key mili-
tary training center at Aldershot,
30 miles from London and smashi
at airports, industrial plants andj
harbors in southern and central Eng-
land.

Antagonistic Convention
Rides On Shoulders
Of Big-Vote States
By RICHARD L.,TURNER
CHICAGO STADIUM, July 18.--
(A')-Roosevelt leaders made Henry
A. Wallace the Democratic Party's
Vice-presidential nominee tonight,
but only after bucking an unexpec-
tedly antagonistic, booing and widely
divided national convention.
Wallace, the President's choice,
won while the Chief Executive waited
in the White House for the conven-
tion's decision. Already prepared was
an address accepting his third term
nomination, ready to be delivered to
the delegates by radio upon Wallace's
nomination, but requiring revision
had the convention chosen any other
nominee.
The Iowan, Secretary of Agricul-
ture from the start of the Roosevelt
administration and an uncompro-
mising New Dealer, rode in mostly
upon the shoulders of the populous.
big-vote states, with the assistance
of the smaller delegations from the
Midwest farm states.
Before, delegations began switch-
ing their ballots, in the customary
routine of making the choice unan-
imous, Wallace had 627 7110 votes,
Speaker Bankhead 329.26; Paul V.
McNutt 66.63; James A. Farley 8;

Prentiss Brown 1; Jesse H. Jones
11'/2; Senator Barkley of Kentucky1

the nominee devotes almost the whole
of his time to the task at hand.
Culture Group
Hears Lecture
By Daniel Rich
Art Institute Director Tells
Of Psychology Of U.S.
PaintingIn Slide-Talk
By KART. KESSLER
the Psychology of American paint-
Ing: a study in loneliness was de-.
picted in a slide-illustrated lecture
here yesterday by Daniel Catton
Rich, director of fine arts at the
Chicago Art Institute, in the final'
lecture of the week for the Graduate
Study Program in American Culture
and Institutions.
Working against an environment
dominated by the practical outlook
of the pioneers and captains of in-
dustry and the Puritan's despise of
art as a frivolity, our early Amer-
ican artists soon fell victims of an
artistic loneliness, Mr. Rich pointed
out in describing the psychological
background of art on this continent.
Nt only was the budding artist
denied a market for his works and
an appreciation of his art, Mr. Rich
explained, but he was also faced with
a dearth of other masters to study.
He was isolated from the world of
art with no companions to appreciate
or criticize his work. Lacking were
the stimulus of other artists working
about him; a culture to interpret
and recognition as an active member
of the community.
Inexcessible were even the rudi-
mentary tools required by the ar-
tist, Mr. Rich emphasized in quoting
a letter written by Copley in 1762,
in which Copley begged a fellow
Swiss artist to send him a box of
pastel crayons.

iggest Show
In Years Given
By Convention
40,000 Gather In Big Top
Of Stadium To Strain
Voices For Party
(Special to The Daily)
By CARL PETERSEN
and MORTON JAMPEL
CHICAGO, July 18.-If the Demo-
cratic National covention accomplish-
es nothing .else before it adjourns, it
has at least provided Chicago with its
biggest show in four years, and proved
conclusively that the windy city has
the toughest cops, prettiest women
and most enthusiastic democrats in
the United States.
The ingling Brothers and Bar-
num and Bailey Circus is in town this
weekend, but the real big-top is un-
der the girded dome of Chicago's gi-
gantic stadium where 40,000 hoot-
ing, cheering, sweating Democrats
are giving their last vocal chords for
the party.
Among the panorama of fist fights,
demonstrations, parades and bad
mathematics that is the convention,
several moments of deep seriousness
stand out. When convention chair-
man Barkley called upon the First
Lady, Mrs. Franklin Delano Roose-
velt, to address the convention the
galleries and delegates after a spon-
taneous cheer settled down to listen
attentively. Mrs. Roosevelt briefly
declared that only "A United People
who love their' country, and will live
for it to the best of their ability" can
insure the safety of the United States
in the immediate future.
High point of the evening for the
Michigan delegation was the nomina-
tion of Senator Prentiss M. Brown
for the vice-presidency by Murray
D. Van Waggoner,1Democratic candi-
date for governor.
When Van Waggoner concluded his
speech, in which he declared Senator
Brown had given "outstanding serv-
ice to country, state and party for
more than 25 years," the band swung
into the University's fighting song,
"The Victors;" the Michigan dele-
gatioh attempted to organize a dem-
onstration which died "A-Bornin'."
Chairman Alben W. Barkley is by
all odds the hardest working man at
the convention. *When he isn't
furiously banging the gavel to restore
order out of chaos, he is fanning
himself vigorously, conferring with
party whips, tabulators, and disgrun-
tled delegates-all under the glare
of 12 powerful spotlights.
While the chairman of the Nebras-
ka delegation earnestly expounded

Stresses Pace Of Foreign
Events As Influencing
His Unprecedented Move
Had Made Plans
For Private Life
WASHINGTON, July 19. (Friday).
-(P)-President Roosevelt accepted
tonight the Democratic convention's
precedent-breaking nomination to a
third term.,
In a radio address to the conven-
tion, the Chief Executive stressed the
swift pace of foreign events as in-
fluencing his decision to accept the
party's call and attempt to shatter
tradition.
Mr. Roosevelt asserted he made
plans for a private life of his own
choice to begin next January, at the
conclusion of his second term.
"These plans, like so many other
plans," he said, "had 1'been made in
a world which now seems as distant
as another planet.
"Today, all private plans, all -pri-
vate lives have been repealed by an
over-riding public danger.
"In the face ofthat public danger
all those who can be of service to
the public have no choice but to
offer themselves for service in those
capacities for which they may be fit-
ted.
"Those are the reasons why I have
had to admit to myself, and now to
state to you, that my conscience will
not let me turn my back to a call
to service."
Roosevelt Informed
Of Nomination By Byrnes
CHICAGO, July 18.-(JP)-From a
dimly-lighted, peach colored tele-
phone booth in a reception room of
a Lakeside- Hotel (Blackstone) to-
day, President sRoosevelt received his
first official notification that the
Democratic National Convention had
shattered precedent by nominating
him for a third term.
The notification came in the form
of a telephone message from Sen-
ator James F. Byrnes, long-time per-
sonal friend of the President and his
unofficial manager for the Chicago
convention.
As described by committee mem-
bers, there was nothing of the breath-
less suspense that is supposed to ac-
company historical moments. The
gray haired, twinkly-eyed Byrnes
stepped into the small, plain ante-
room, sat down on a small chair,
lifted the receiver off one of the two
telephones on a little white shelf
and asked the operator to get him
the White House.
Byrnes' conversation ran some-
thing like this:
"Hello, Mr. President, I am going
to be very formal with you. You
know, we are charged with the duty
of giving you some surprising news."
The President, who often chats
with Byrnes on the phone when both
are in Washington, evidently quipped
about the speedy action of the com-
mittee in notifying him of the con-
vention action.
Byrnes' reply to the President's
joke was said to have been: "Well,
we can't hold our horses."
Dr. Tidwell Instructs Linguists
In Difficulties OfUsing Dialect
With illustrations drawn from the
familiar Uncle Remus stories of Joel
Chandler Harris, Dr. James N. Tid-
well of Westminster College yester-
day noon explained to .the Linguistic
Institute luncheon conference the
difficulties of accurately represent-
ing dialect in fiction.
The inadequacy of the alphabet
to represent the actual sounds of
speech, declared Dr. Tidwell, makes
it necessary for a writer either to
re-spell all words with uniform values
for each letter or letter combina-
tion, or to re-spell those words which
have particular value for their di-
alectal significance. Harris, he indi-
cated, chose the latter of these meth-
ods, and believed that thereby he
had attained phonetic accuracy.
That Harris' representation is,
nevertheless, phonetically inaccurate,
was Dr. Tidwell's contention. Anal-
ysis of a phonetic transcription of
a passage from one of the Uncle
Remus tales reveals that Harris had
several values for each novel charac-
ter, and that in general he re-spelled
without consistent system. He spelled
'oblige,' for example, both "'blige'"
and "'blie'," and 'laugh' appears
dialect did succeed in indicating
some genuine dialectal features, ten
of which Dr. Tidwell enumerated.
One of these was the palatization
shown in the pronunciation "chune"
for 'tune.' Another was the loss of
post-vocalic 'r' although Harris ap-
parently was inconsistent in his re-
spelling to show this loss. Harris
also recognized a Southern speech
form in his respellings "skeer" and
"cheer" for 'scare' and 'chair.' The
frequent Southern loss of a final
consonant Harris represented by the
use of the apostrophe: and the
Southern palatalization of initial ve-
lar consonants he recognized by such
spellings as "gyarden" for 'garden'
and "kyar'n's" for 'carryings.'

Dr. E. B. Elliott To Speak Today
By ROSE SCOTT<
Active application of factual ma-
terial collected in surveys and
through governmental agencies in
an integrated community program
is the greatest> field for developing
guidance of youth on a civic scale,.
Prof. Howard Y. McClusky of the
education school recommended to
his capacity audience yesterday in
the morning lecture of the Educa-
tional Conference Week series.
More knowledge about the labor
market, the migration of rural youth,
the degree and kinds of skills which
youth possess must be ogtained. Pro-
fessor McClusky maintained, before
adequate remedies can be prescribed
for the employment problems of the
majority of young people. Records
of what has actually happened in
Dr. Eugene B. Elliott, state super-
intendent of public instruction, Prof.
