600 OPEN HISTORY CONVENTION HERE European Scholars Among Delegates at Fiftieth An- niversary Meeting. Eight hundred history professors, students and writers today opened the | fiftieth anniversary meeting of the | American Historical Association at the | \ayflower Hotel, with several scholars | trom Europe in attendance. The convention today was awaiting | an address by Secretary of Agricul- | ture Wallace of the relation of in-| dustry and agriculture and the annual | address of the association’s president, Ambassador William E. Dodd, who re- turned from his post in Germany to attend the meeting. | Ambassador Dodd, who was pro- fessor of American history at the University of Chicago before his dip- lomatic appointment, was to be suc- ceeded as president of the association by Michael I. Rostovtzeff, professor of ancient history at Yale University. Former Russian Professor. Rostovtzefl was attached to the Uni- versity of St. Petersburg and fled after | the first revolution. After L'nnsider-l able hardship, he made his way with his wife to Germany, later coming to | the United States to accept a pro- | fessorship at the University of Wis- consin. Prof. Rostovtzeff now is first vice president of the association. Secretary Wallace's address was scheduled for late this afternoon and Ambassador Dodd is to speak tonight. Distinguished foreigners attending the three-day session include Bernard Fay of the College de France, Paris, biographer of Franklin and Washing- ton and one of France's most brilliant young scholars. Dr. Fay is a friend of Gertrude Stein, the current literary enigma. The French scholar was to speak tomorrow afternoon on “Europe and America—the Exchange of Ideas and Ideals.” German Refugee on Program. A speaker of particular interest on this morning’s program was E. Stein of Catholic University, a refugee from the Nazi regime in Germany. The morning program also included a talk by one of Canada’s best-known scholars, Dr. R. G. Trotter of Queen’s University, Toronto. He discussed Canada as a factor in Anglo-Amer- ican relations of the 1860's. The new national archivist, R. D. W. Connor, is to speak tomorrow afternoon on the new archives system | and building. Organizations meeting jointly under the sponsorship of the American Historical Association include the Mississippi Valley Historical Associa- tion, Conference of State and Local Historical Societies. Agricultural His- tory Society, American Society of Church History, American Catholic Historical Association, History of Science Society, Bibliographical So- ciety of America, Medieval Academy of America, the Association of Re- search Libraries and the National Council for the Social Studies. Archbishop Cicognani Speaks, Opening its sessions in advance of the others, the American Catholic Historical Association gathered last night to hear the Most Rev. Arch- bishop Cicognani, apostolic delegate to the United States. After paying tribute to the Amer- ican Historical Association for its co- operation in aiding organization of the Catholic organization, the arch- bishop outlined the objectives of the latter group. Essentially, he said, these are for a wider knowledge of the history of the Catholic church and the part it has played in the history of the United States. Its teachings and membership, he said, are for non-Catholics as well as Catholics. Pointing out that the church now has more than 100 dioceses in this country, the archbishop said “the Catholic church and the Catholics in the United States form an integral and a most important part of the history, development and growth of the United States.” SPECIAL NOTICES.

A Total of 25 Lives Lost in These Three Train Crashes FLOORLEADER J0B Lea and Hill Decision—Eight Already Seeking Honor. By the Associated Press. The Far West may bid for the second most important job in the House— the Democratic floor leadership. Members from at least two States were thinking of asking their chiefs to enter the race. But these two men—Representatives Clarence Lea of California and Samuel B. Hill of :NashmgwnAdEferred a decision until ater. If they should decide to run they would join eight candidates already after the job—Representative Bank- head of Alabama, O'Connor of New York, Rankin of Mississippi, McCor- mack of Massachusetts, Mead of New . York, Greenwood of Indiana, Sabath of Illinois and Crosser of Ohio. Far Westerners argue that they are not represented in any important House post. A Westerner, Representative Taylor of Colorado, will be a candidate for chairmanship of the Democratic caucus, but others from his section point out that the caucus chairman has little direct control over legis- lation unless the party acts on it in a special meeting. That seldom is done, except on extremely contro- versial matters. Westerners say that with Repre- sentative Byrns of Tennessee as Speaker they should have a leader. Most observers agreed today that the leadership race at present was far from decided. Bankhead, who had a nucleus of Southern votes to start with, claimed some pledges in Northern States. O'Connor likewise said he had some Midwesterners on his list. McCormack followers as- serted his chances would be enhanced if Bankhead failed of election on initial ballots, since they claim a number of second-choice Southern pledges for McCormack.

Soon after the New Year 3 of 14 tariff agreements now under con- sideration are to be signed under legislation enacted at the last session of Congress authorizing the President to reduce import duties on specified products in return for similar con- cessions by other nations. The action of the French Chamber . | of Deputies in approving the Tardieu- Edge compact was hailed last night by the Chamber of Commerce of the United States as evidence that the two nations are willing to forego “immediate gain to their respective revenues to the advantage of an in- crease in trade and commerce between the two countries.” Officials of the State Department strongly intimated _that reciprocal trade treaties with Brazil, Colombia and Haiti would be concluded soon after January 1. They reported steady progress in negotiations with several other South American nations and with Belgium, Spain, Switzerland and Sweden as well. PHILIPPINE ISLE POLICE GUARD AGAINST UPRISING By the Associated Press. MANILA, P. I, December 27.—Offi- cers of the Philippine Constabulary on the island of Mindanao were on the alert today to prevent another outbreak of wild mountain tribesmen such as occurred in Agusan Province last Saturday, resulting in 21 deaths. Sixteen of those slain were members of the mountain tribe, killed when they attacked a constabulary camp. The other five were village dwellers, whom the flerce jungle tribesmen killed before engaging in the fight with the constabulary. The troopers repulsed the attack without casualties. ORANGE TARIFF HIT REDLANDS, Calif, December 27 (#).—Removal of the Canadian tariff that taxes each box of American oranges 75 cents was advocated here yesterday by H. A. Mullins of Ottawa, member of the Canadian House of Commons. Addressing a joint luncheon of the Kiwanis Club and Knights of the Round Table, Mullins termed the tariff “an unreasonable tax on an article of food that is not produced in our own country.” SOUGHT BY WEST Defer Final | H CROWLEY DEFENDS POWERS TO SLASH RATE OF INTEREST (Continued From First Page.) banks outside the Federal Reserve system, Eccles said: “Such jurisdiction as the Govern- ment exercises over the non-member insured banks rests with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. On Decem- ber 15 the Federal Reserve Board was advised that the Board of Directors of | the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. had reduced the maximum time de- posit rate for insured non-member banks and trust companies to 212 per cent.” Gov. Eccles added that a “mis- understanding” appeared to have arisen because the Reserve Board, in announcing its order making a simi- lar reduction in deposit rates in mem- ber banks, referred to the action of the Deposit Insurance Corp. Both actions, he said, “were taken separately, not jointly.” Explains Reference. The board’s statement,” he con- tinued, “carried this reference because there was abundant reason for believ- ing that both member banks and their depositors would be vitally concerned by the rates of interest which might | be paid by competing non-member banks.” He said the Reserve Board’s orders reducing rates in member banks was taken in accordance with provisions | of the banking act of 1933, and he added that both the Reserve Board and the Deposit Insurance Corp. had made similar moves in the past. In Lynchburg, Va., Senator Glass commented: “He evidently has not read my letter to Mr. (Charles S.) Hamlin (member of the Federal Reserve Board to whom he made his criticism), or, if he has, seems unable to understand it.” Glass, in his letter to Hamlin, de- clared Crowley had disclaimed any re- sponsibility for the statement that the Deposit Corp. had matched the Re- serve Board order with an interest-cut order. Glass argued that the two agencies had no power to tell banks not members of the Federal Reserve system that they should cut interest from 3 to 2%, per cent. st IS SR CODE PRICE-FIXING HELD INVALID IN U. S. COURT RULING (Continued From First Page.) would have been rejected, the judge declared. “The people had suffered too re- cently from tyranny to be led into the voluntary creation of tyranny infinitely more dangerous,” the opin- ion read. “In the commerce clause, as written, they sought protection of in- dividual liberty of trade and all its incidents from the then stifiing and conflicting commercial regulations of the States. * * * Limitation Is Defined. “It is enough to say that the price at which an owner offers to sell his property and the price a prospective purchaser agrees to pay in no sense whatever are incidents of commerce among the States. The meeting of the minds of vendor and vendee in an agreement as to price precedes any movement of the property sold and bought. Since the contract is no part of that commerce which Congress is given power to regulate, Congress can- not regulate the terms of the contract directly. “Nor can it accomplish the same end indirectly by prohibiting the movement in .commerce of things harmless in themselves unless they are sold at prices satisfactory to Con- gress.” —_— Boston Power Plant Sought. BOSTON, December 27 (#)—Rep- resentative Lawrence McHugh of Bos- ton yesterday filed a bill in the Legis- lature to authorize the Metropolitan District Commission to construct & power and light manufacturing plant on the State water system. Library of Congress Receives Plaque From Chinese Scholar| A ‘Wooden plaque presented to the Library, Peiping, China. Library of Congress by the National The calligraphic design, by Hsu Shih-chang, former President of China, reads, from right to left: “Yu Hai Chu Yuan,” translated, “Jade sea pearl ocean.” BY JAMES WALDO FAWCETT. The Library of Congress has re- ceived from T. L. Yuan, director, Pieping National Library, the gift of a massive wooden plaque, or tablet, carved with four characters calli- graphically designed by Hsu Shih- chang, former President of China. A symbol of the tie of friendship which for many years has bound the libraries of the East with those of | the West, the text of the inscription, reading from right to left, is “Yu hai chu yuan,” signifying “Jade sea pearl ocean” and meaning “a sea of jade | (and)an ocean of pearls,” or meta- phorically “a vast respository of pre- clous things,” and the reference is to the Library of Congress in particu- lar as “a great library filled with rare books and manuscripts.” Dr. Arthur W. Hummel, chief of the Division of Orientalia, explained the presentation. Is Token of Understanding. “It is the gift of one great national library to another,” he said, “and was presented as a token of the growing cultural understanding that marks the relations of the United States and China. Moreover, it is a generous recognition of the place which the Division of Orientialia of the Library of Congress has achieved as perhaps the foremost center of Chinese studies in this country. Its collection of 163,- 000 volumes, printed wholly in the Chinese language, is the largest out- side of China and Japan. During the entire year it is a gathering place for students of all nationalities who wish to do authoritative research in the politics, language, literature and his- —Star Staff Photo. tory of the oldest extant civilization of the earth. “This gift is a gracious acknowl- edgment also of the impress which the Library of Congress has made over many years on the rapidly ex- panding library system of China. The extent of this influence is manifest when it is recalled that our National Library sells annually more of its printed catalogue cards to China than to any other country of the world. Moreover, not a few of China’s leading librarians look back to the great in- stitution in Washington as a virtual second alma mater. It was here that Mr. Yuan and ' other librarians re- ceived their initial experience.” Personal Seals on Plague, ‘The plaque is 8 feet 7 inches long, 35 inches wide and 2% inches thick. It weighs about 250 pounds. Each of the four characters is 18 inches high. ‘The symbois are embossed in gold on a dark-blue background. A border of the familiar swastika pattern, also beautifully carved, runs around the panel in gold and red. Three small characters on the left represent the signature of the calligrapher, the former chief executive of the Chinese Republic, and are supplemented by his personal seals—one with charac- ters incised, the other with characters in relief. Hsu Shih-chang, Dr. Hummel said, now is 80 years old. He is esteemed as one of the most eminent of modern Chinese authors as well as a great political leader. ‘The plaque will be displayed tempo- rarily in the first floor of the Library Building. Later it will be hung in the Division of Fine Arts. MISSING WOMAN’S COAT FOUND IN CARMEL BAY Discovery Confirms Belief Wife of Chicago Merchant Com- mitted Suicide. By the Associated Press. CARMEL, Calif, December 27— Searchers using a glass-bottomed boat recovered yesterday the fur coat of Mrs. Eliot Boke Schaffner, missing wife of the nationally known Chicago clothing merchant. ‘Members of the Schaffner family identified the coat, which was found in Carmel Bay by Capt. Leonard Johnson and Stuart Faetchenwal, two of the group, which has searched the waters since Mrs. Schaffner disap- peared a week ago. Police said finding of the coat con- firmed their belief Mrs. Schaffner had committed suicide. K. OF C. PLANS DANCE Kermess Committee Schedules Af- fair for New Year Eve.

Colored pictures of germs and other microscopic objects have been known before, but they were ordinary black and white photographs colored by hand. By the new process the bacteria and blood cells are photographed in their actual colors, enabling scientists to distinguish between different types of bacteria that look the same in black and white photographs, and to watch behavior of the white blood cells and how they are attacking disease germs in the blood.

It activates each bit of the protoplasm as it ad- vances to deferentiate into a specific organ of the animal. After a little more than six hours the job is com- plete. Henceforth the destruction of any one part will not interfere with the development of the embryo as a whole, but will only prevent the for- mation of a specific organ. Light was shed on another mys= terious phenomenon of life—the met= amorphosis of insects through the caterpillar, pupa and moth stages— by Dr. William Trager before the 2o0logical section. In the course of this metamor- phosis some parts of the individual are left behind, to be replaced by new ones quite different in form and function. Some parts—notably the brain—are continuous through the various stages. Trager found that the two divisions are characterized by different kinds of growth. The parts that are discarded have grown by ex- pansion of the size of the shells. The parts that are retained grow by cell multiplication without any increases in their own size. The drought has clinched Kansas® claim to the title of “Sunflower State.” according to Dr. Frank C. Gates of the Kansas State College. While most other Fall vegetation was greatly re- duced by the Summer dryness, he said, a survey showed that sunflowers sprang up over the prairies in greater abundance then ever before.
