Roosevelt Tells
Of More Bribes
In Senate Trial
Ex-Senator Speaks
Of Hotel Graft Center
By the Associated Press
MASON, MICH., July 13-Former
state senator Joseph C. Roosevelt,
errand boy, bartender and aide to
Maj. Charles F. Hemans' admitted
bribery of Michigan law-makers, to-
day added new details to Hemans'
testimony as the legislative graft
trial neared the end of its fifth week.
Roosevelt testified that he, too,
had been paid a bribe by Hemans
while he was a member of the 1937
legislature.sHe testified, also, that
he knew that an envelope of cash
which he said he delivered to Senator
Jerry T. Logie was bribe money and
declared he had neither been in-
dicted for participating in a felony
nor had been granted immunity from
prosecution.
Recounting details, of the hotel
room headquarters which Hemans
operated for his lobbying activities,
Roosevelt testified he had person-
ally placed bribe money in the hands
of six of the legislator defendants.
Eighteen of them came to Hemans'
rooms at one time or another, he
said, eight of them having gone once
or more times with Hemans into the
adjoining bathroom in which He-
mans testified he often paid bribes.
The witness said that he paid for-
mer state senator Ernest G. Nagel
of Detroit between $50 and $75 and
obtained for him a new overcoat
which Hemans paid for.
He denied a ,aefense attorney's
question as to whether he had con-
tacted legislators about introducing
a bill legalizing slot machines.

CHINESE CIVILIZATION:
Shih Chia Chu Lectures On
Post-War Reconciliation Plan

Stressing the great need for under-
standing between the Chinese and
the various races which have infil-'
trated into China, Shih Chia Chu
gave the first in his series of lectures
on "Chinese Civilization" yesterday
afternoon in the Rackham amphi-
theatre.
"Effort should be made by the
Chinese in the near future to make
reconciliation with the Aborigines, in
particular, and to provide better
treatment of these people," said Chu,
adding that equal opportunities in
education would be one main stop to
foster a better relationship.
In order to present background
material for his future lectures, Chu
devoted most of yesterday's lecture
to the impact of other races upon the
course of Chinese history. Begin-
ning with the migration of the Turks,
or Huns as they became known to the
Chinese, into North China after the
first century, A.D., he went on to
describe the movements of Hindus,
Persians, Arabs, Sogdians, and Jews
into that country, of which the latter
Price To Give
Carillon Recital
Percival Price will present a caril-
Ion recital in commemoration of
Bastille Day at 7 p.m. today with a
group of 12 compositions.
Mozart's "Minuet" from "Don Gio-
vanni" and "March" from "Figaro"
will open the concert. "The Storm"
from Verdi's "Il Trovatore" and the
"Polka" from "Schwanda" will also
be among the operatic selections.
Compositions written for the caril-
lon will include "Etude" by Menotti,
"Reverie" by Giles and "Fantaisie
No. Three" by Price.

group settled at Kaifeng as early as
the ninth century, A.D.
Other influences in Chinese civili-
zation were the Tunhu, Tibetans,
Mongols and Aborigines, which still
present a difficult problem for China.
Chu, a native Chinese, is repre-
sentative of that country's younger
generation. Born near Shanghai, he
received all of his education in China
before coming to the United States
in 1939. At present, he is on the Ori-
ental Staff of the -Library of Con-
gress. His next lecture will be at
4:10 p.m., Thursday, in the same
place.
Outside Dancing
Parties Planned
Wooden Pavillion To
Be Built in Palmer Field
Plans are now underway for out-
door dancing parties during the sum-
mer months, accord-ing to Bill Lay-
ton, leader of the campus orchestra.
Although all arrangements have
not been completed, Layton indicated
that plans will be finished soon to
permit the first outdoor party to be
held next week-end.
Under the program now being dis-
cussed, a special dance pavillion with
wood floor and surrounded by tables
would be constructe'd in Palmer Field,
and dancing would be held there ev-
ery week-end, weather permitting.
This is probably the first time such
a program has been introduced on
campus and it will add Michigan to
the list of a few major colleges in
the nation with the same plan for
summer entertainment.
All Students Invited
To Chapel Dance
There will be a record dance to
which all servicemen and civilian
students are invited from 9 p.m. to
midnight tomorrow in the downstairs
clubroom of St. Mary's Chapel, ac-
cording to Dorothy Uhl, Grad., who
is in charge of the party.
Refreshments and table tennis will
be other features of the evening,
according to Miss Uhl.

Truman Will
Not Run" for
Vice-Presidency
By the Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, July 13-Senator
Truman (D-Mo.), in a statement to
the press late today declared he did
"not want the vice presidency", and
said he sincerely hoped the Missouri
delegation to the Democratic conven-
tion in Chicago next week would not
endorse him for that office.
Enjoys Senate Work
Senator Truman said he enjoyed
his work in the Senate and felt that
the committee he heads in the Sen-
ate investigating all war activity was
making a real contribution to the
war effort.
"It is difficult to make my friends
believe me when I say I do not want
the vice-presidency", the Missouri
Senator said. "But I am absolutely
honest in my often reiterated state-
ments that it is my personal prefer-
ence and desire to remain in the
senate. Frankly, I think I can be of
much more help in winning the war
continuing the work I have been
doing than I could possibly contrib-
ute as vice-president."
FDR Nominated by Acclamation
Nomination of President Roosevelt
by acclamation was predicted by the
Missouri Senator.
Senator Truman said the general
opinion in Washington when he left
was that President Roosevelt would
keep hands off the vice-presidential
nomination. The Senator added that
in addition to Vice President Wallace
there was much talk in the Senate at
least, of Senator Barkley of Kentucky
for the place.

By the Associated Press
SAIPAN, MARIANAS ISLANDS-
The stage-c ach days of the Old
West are being reenacted on the bul-
let-swept back roads of Saipan.
Only instead of cargoes of gold
dust, dry goods, and pay rolls,
Saipan's pony express carries
plasma, ammunition, water, ra-
tions-and surprisingly often, mail
right up to the front lines, along
with mimeographed copies of the
day's radio news.
Of course, the horse power has
been considerably stepped up. The
jeeps of Saipan have proved they can,
go anywhere a tank or tractor canj
go, and into dozens of places where
the terrain, the smell of dead bodies,
and the smoke of explosions would
stop a team of stage coach horses
in their tracks.

But the Japs make the old movie
thrillers come all too true. Jeeps
now' have mounted machine guns
and rocket guns. There is even a
mounted flame-thrower. Coming
through the narrow passes between
Saipan's hills the jeeps are open to
sniper and machine gun fire every
minute of their continuous daily
shuttling. The drivers come to know
the snipers by name: Two-Shot Tojo,
Gha-Cha Charlie, Mr. Five by Five.
Sometimes, when things get too
hot, they hop out like the old west-
ern drivers and barricade them-
selves behind their vehicles, shoot-
ing it out with the Japs slug for
slug.
And no jeep or truck in the first
two weeks on Saipan has been aban-
doned to enemy fire. They may have
had to detour, but the supplies, like
the pony express, always get through.
