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 Cruise Ship; 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. Tag Day To Be H.feld Tuesday Tag Day, the day set aside for soli- citing funds to send boys to the Uni- versity Fresh Air Camp, wil be held on Tuesday, July 24. Prof. F. N. Menefee, director of the camp, has announced that 110 boys from the Detroit area will be sent to the camp this summer. The purpose of the camp is to provide healthful recreational activity dur- ing the summer for boys who live in crowded metropolitan areas. Stu- dents and townspeople are asked to cor:ibute to this cause by purchas- ing tags to be sold by coeds stationed throughout the campus. Thirty-seven graduate and under- graduate students of the University wil act as counselors at the camp Uis summer, Prof. Menefee said. The cunselers will supervise recreational activities and will receive credits in .sociology and education courses. Chinese Take Vital Seaport In Indo-China 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. 1Tkhird Pieet Skips Bomrbinig of Japan Has Opened New Phase of Pacific War'-Nimitz By The Associated Press GUAM, Wednesday, July 18-Thundering warships of the U.

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.

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, president of the Ann Arbor Alumnae, and Mrs. Lucille B.
