was invited to preside during the con-
ference.

man, Premier Stalin and Prime Min-
ister Churchill also said that during
the meeting which lasted 1/2 hours,
"a preliminary exchange of views took
place on the matters requiring deci-
sion by the heads of the three govern-
ments."
Jap War Ranks High
The war against Japan unquestion-
ably ranked high on the agenda of
the three governmental chieftains,
their foreign secretaries, and military
advisors.
There was a minimum of formality
as President Truman, Premier Stalin
and Prime Minister Churchill opened
their discussions which may secure
the peace of Europe, speed victory
over Japan and settle the basis of the
German peace treaty.

Date Is Not
Set for Parley
With Truman
By The Assoited Press
WASHINGTON, July 17-Definite
agreement has been reached between
the United States and France that
General Charles DeGaulle will visit,
this country shortly after the Big
Three meeting ends.
American officials confirmed this
today although they still withheld an
official staternent because an exact
date for the French leader's trip re-
mains to be fixed.
A(cevpted Invitation
DeGaulle announced several weeks
ago that he had accepted an invita-
tion for the visit from President Tru-
man. Lack of prompt United States
confirmation was taken in some
places as indicating a cooling of
French-American relations, but offi-
cials said today the silence was a
matter of diplomatic etiquette and
did not reflect the President's atti-
"Ade.
Clearly, DeGaulle will want to talk
with Mr. Truman at length on deci-
sions made by the Big Three in their
Potsdam meeting now in session.
Visit Will Be Brief
Present indications are that De-
Gaulie's visit to Washington will be
bW:ef, since France is busily prepar-
ing for nationwide elections in Octo-
ber.
It has been indicated that press of
business at home will force Mr. Tru-
man to return directly from Potsdam
without visiting European leaders.
Fire Sweeps

No Lives Lost
By The ssocated Press
SARNIA, Ont., July 17-Fire swept
the cruise ship Hamonic at a dock
here today forcing 350 passengers
and crew members to scramble over
her sides to safety.
The list of those injured in falls,
sliding down ropes or suffering from
burns was expected to exceed 150.
Nearly ten hours after the fire broke
out, no loss of life had been reported.
Tonight the Hamonic lay, a smok-
ing hulk, her superstructure burned
away and her bow jammed into the
St. Clair River bank.
George Andrew, harbor master at
Point Edward, where the Hamonic
had docked this morning to take on
cargo, estimated total damage from
the fire would reach $2,000,000.

citing funds to send boys to the Uni-
versity Fresh Air Camp, wil be held

Mutinousg jap Puppets
Aid Capture of Moncay
By The !Associated Press
CHUNKING, July 17-Chinese
troops, in a new invasion of Indo-
China aided by mutinous Japanese
puppets, have captured thle import-
ant Indo-Chinese seaport of Moncay
on Tokyo's direct shipping supply
route to land-isolated southeast Asia,
the Chinese High Command said to-
night.
In the Chinese interior, other or-
ces of Ceneralissimo Chiang Kai-
Shek's armies beat their way into the
rububs of the former American Air
Base city of Kweilin and cut the
enemy garrison's main escape route
to the north, a communique said.
''he Chinese occupied Moncay aft-
er a mutiny of puppet troops in the
IndoChina-China border town of
Tunghing July 7, the Chinese report-
ed. The puppet soldiers surrendered
to attacking troops of Free China
with all theii' armies, and the Chi-
nese, taking advantage of the situa-
tion, forced the Japanese to flee from
Tun hng.
The Chinese said their troops pur-
sued the Japanese into IndoChina
and occupied Moncay, two miles
south of Tunghing, the same night.
The occupation of the port, appar-
ently only lightly garrisoned, severed
the enemy's only remaining, tenuous
overland highway link between Indo-
China and China. It also widened
the inew Chinese cordor to the
South China coast, the only link
betw een the interior and the sea.
Georg-e Meader
To Talk Toway-
Speaker s Counsel
To Senate Committee
George Meader, former Washtenaw
County prosecuting attorney and now
counsel to the Mead Investigating
Committee in the United States Sen-
ate, will address the Men's Educa-
tion Club at their meeting at 7:15
p. m. EWT (6:15 p. m. CWT) to-
day in the Michigan Union.
Directs Investigations
Meader, who has been with the
committee since July, 1943, directs
investigations for the committee, in-
te t'ogates witnesses at private and
open hearings, and prepares drafts of
txe committee's reports.
Recently Meader has acompanied
two sub committees of the Mead
Committee on trips abroad, in late
December of last year he went to
Nortl Africa, the Meditterranean
areas, and the Middle East. In May
of 'this year he was in Europe with
a Senate Committee, going to France,
Belgium, Germany, England, and
Laly.
Advocates Permanent Committee
Commenting on the need for in-
vestigaming committees, Meader said
he believes Congress needs a perma-
nent, competent, investigating com-
mittee staffed by men completely
under its control. The Senators and
Representatives don't have time to
investigate all the problems connect-
ed with legislation by themselves, he
asserted. With competent investi-
gating committees always at their
command, they could have all the
pertinent facts on the particular sub-
jects at issue.
Meader, who is in Ann Arbor on
vacation, will return to Washington
sortly to resume his'duties as coun-
sel to the Mead Committee.

Chester W. Nimitz said in announc-
ing the action.
The British battleship King George
V and her escorting ships joined in
the attack. This was the first time
British men a'war' had fired shells
into the Japanese homeland.
Br inbardment Ccntinued
ihe first salvos were fired at 11
p. in. Tuesday, Tokyo time, (1 a.m.,
U. S. Eastern War Time). Nimitz.
said the bombardment "is continu-
ing."
The heavy naval shellings of Japan
have opened a new phase of the Paci-
fic war -"The pre-invasion stage"-,
Nimitz said boldly in an earlier state-
ment.
Shell Sukegawa
The target area included the town
of Sukegawa, adjoining Hitachi. An
eyewitness report also named Taka-
hagi. (Maps indicate the latter place
is either part of, or near, the Hita-
chi district, a war-bombed industrial
city
'he )('mbardment force, as in the
earier shellings of Kamaishi and
Muroran, acted in complete disdain
of whatever is left of the enemy's
navy, and of the Japanese Air Force.
Casting radio silence aside within
the shadows of the Nippon coast-
line, the warships permitted broad-
casts telling of the attack-an event
unprecedented in American naval
history.
The biggest ships of the force, such
as the mighty Iowa, closed within
10 miles of the coastline to hurl their
one-ton shells from their 16-inch
guns, said one broadcast.
Hou1singl Crisis,
T1oBe Eased
Vaughan House Will
Be Used Next Term
The use of Victor Vaughan House
by women students next fall and an
intensWe housing survey which be-
gan yesterday are expected to aid in
solving the fall housing crisis, Miss
Alice Lloyd, Dean of Women, an-
nounced yesterday.
The survey by the Ann Arbor group
of the Michigan Alumnae will cover
tsv6 locations in town and include
hundreds of houses, Mrs. Mary C.
Broenage. Assistant bea, estimated.
Results To Be Made Known
Pe.solts will be made available to
vwemen students who have been ad-
mitted to the University but who
have not yet found rooming facili-
ties. Tiev will be able to room in
the private homes which the alumnae
find to be available.
The opening of Victor Vaughan to
women students will take 140 girls
off the waiting list for the residence
halls, but will not constitute an ex-
tensive relief since those on the wait-
ing list and those displaced by the
seven fewer fraternity houses avail-
able for women exceeds the number
to be housed in Victor Vaughan, Mrs.
Bromage pointed out,
Contracts in August
Winners of the Regents-Alumni
scholarships will be assigned to the
medical students' former house. Con-
tracts for rooms will not be made un-
til August, when the housing' and
registrstion data are more complete,
she said.
Of the 17 fraternities used for
women last year, only ten have been
rented by the University for the fall
tem. Mrs. Merwin H. Waterman,

Edmonson Warns Veterans Ayainst 'Fl by Niht' Colleges
Education of the World War II

James B. Edmonson, Dean of the
University Education school warned
."We still have many 'sheepskin-

sions," he said.
Inducements Will Be Mis-leading
"Such persons and institutions will
make attractive but misleading in-
be made available to all veterans

"As the GI legislation now stands,"
