To Meet at the
 Hotel Waterbury
Electrical Engineers 95th Session on Tuesday, March IS

The Connecticut section of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers will hold their 95th meeting Tuesday evening, March 15 at o'clock at the Hotel Wa terbury. A dinner will precede the meeting and will get underway at 6:30 o'clock.
 The speakers will be Eugene D. Milener, industrial research rep- resentative of the American Gas association, and William l.. Kep- finger, representative of the Car rier Engineering corporation. They will take as their subjects, ."Air Conditioning"
 The most elementary method of air conditioning is the heating of air during cold weather. In re- cent years, however, air condition ing has taken on much broader aspect. The natural sequence to heating air in cold weather was to cool 1t in hot weather. From this point further progress has been made by controlling the moisture In and the cleaning of the air. The field of application of condi. toned air has been greatly in- creased and 1t is the purpose of the meeting to give an up to date picture of the ways and means of conditioning ~air and Its many ap- plications.
 Mi!ener will describe the factors involved in air conditioning. the possibilities of It's application and some of the equipment which the American Gas association has as sisted in developing. Keplinger will describe similar work accom-. plished by the Carrier Engineering corporation.

Retention of the 18th Amendment Will Be His Policy, According to Authoritative Informa. tion-Many Republican Leaders Want Wet and Dry Issue Submitted to People
BY RAYMOND CHAPTER

Copyright 1882 by united Pl,rcSs)
 Washington. March 9.--(UP)-- President Hoover plans to run for president on the same prohibition platform plank he used in 192S-- retention of the 18th amendment--- according to the most authoritative information available.
 This plan Is despite a. pronounced desire among some republican leaders to resubmit the prohibition issue to the country.
 Renewed activity over the pro- hlbition question has led to many attempts to elicit from Mir Hoover some public statement of his atti- tude on what position the party should take this year. He has declined to make one.
 The information from other sources is to the effect that he has indicated privately that he intends to stand by hls 1928 position.
 On modification, he said that to permit that which the constitution forbids would be notification and that this would not be counten- anced by the American people.
 Further, he Is represented as feeling that he has an obligation to those who supported him on prohl- bition In 1928 and that to yield to tho anti-prohibition wing of the party now would be desertion of thousands of loyal friends with no ground other than expendiency to Justify 1t, ...
 His policy Is to discourage dis cussion of prohibition as q party question. Feeling on both sides Is so strong that there Is fear of pro- voking Il serious split by agitation prior to the convention. This oc- counts for the scarcity of state- mcnts from republican sources.
 Contrary to the practice of their democratic opponents. the more troublesome a question becomes, tho less republicans talk about tt publicly.
 The republican party Is as bad ly split over prohibition as the democratic party. The managers want to gather In as many votes as possible from both sides. There fore many modificationists ana those who, more cautious, want merely n referendum plank, favor ! going ahead without consulting the president. They expect that if any reasonable plank calling for re- | judgment of the questions were inserted in the platform, Mir Hoov- CT would not object. They realize he would be seriously embarrassed 1 if he tried to change his posi- ton. so they cultivate the doe Urine that the candidate has noth- ing to do with shaping the plat form-hat being the work of tho conventoin-and that therefore there ais no reason to bring Mir | Hoover into the controversy.
 The result of this strategy. if successful, would be dry candi- date on a referendum platform. making it possible for the cam paign to emphasize one in dry states and the other in wet states. Politics is that way and prob- ably will continue so as long as the first object is to win an elec- | ton.
 The desirability of separating prohibition from partisan politics ] was stressed in a recent statement 1 to the United Press by Joseph R. Mutt. of Cleveland. treasurer of the republican national committee. He suggested that the party endorse q

CHINESE INSIST
 ON POLICING OF
 SHANGHAI ZONE
Renewed Danger to Inter- national Settlement By This Decision - Japs Have Ordered Chinese to Keep Out
BY HERBERT R. EKINS United Press Stan Correspondent

 United Press Stan Correspondent.
 Shanghai, March s-(UP)--Re- newed danger to the international settlement and residents of the Shanghai area was seen to-day in the Chinese announcement that Chinese police would resume their duties in territories from which the Chinese armies had been with drawn.
 The Japanese have refused to allow anyone to enter the areas without a pass. Renewed conflict between Chinese and Japanese, es- pecially in Chapel, appeared likely.
 Meanwhile foreign diplomats held little hope for peace through out the Yangtze delta. Strong Chin csc and Japanese forces were con centrated there.
 Chinese government and military leaders united in policy of con- tinued resistance to the Japanese in the area after the central exc cutive committee of the national government announced appoint ment of Gen Chiang kai-Shek to command the Chinese armies.
 Mayor Wu Teh-Chen of Shang. hal notified Japanese authorities that Chinese authorities proposed to police the Chapel, Kiangwan and Woosung areas, scenes of the heaviest fighting near Shanghai.
 The ninth Japanese division un- dor Lieut. General Kenkichi Yueda returned to Shanghai from oc- cupying deserted Chinese positions near Kinngwan and Tazand and the soldiers were received Ike conquering heroes.
 Japanese residents of the Yang tzepoo and Hongkew districts lined the streets to cheer.
 It was learned that the 14th division which just arrived from Japan, brought artillery pieces much larger than any used here. It was understood that the strength of the 14th equallcd that of the 9th and 11th divisions together.
 The Japanese consulate-general announced that 20 Japanese civili- ans were killed and 52 wounded by stray bullets and assaults by Chin. csc mobs since hostilities began.
 Tokio, March 9.-UP)-The Japanese government to-day in- structed It's Shanghai representa- tives to atetmpt to negotiate n permanent armistice with the Chinese through neutral powers. The instructions were sent to Namoru Shigemitsu, Japanese min- ister at Shanghai. The first an- nouncement did not reveal what concessions the Japanese were pre- pared to make.

 Postmaster General Walter F.. Brown, Mir Hoover's unofficial campaign manager, is understood to feel the same way. This pro- gram does not conflict with Presi- dent Hoovers position.

Oliver Wendell Holmes Was Not There But He Sends a Message of Greeting to the Guests

Washington, March D. (UP)- Oliver Wendell Holmes will be con- tent to die if he can think he has inspired "a spark of the flame that has kept alive the fire' in his heart.
 That was his brief message last night to banquet at which he was the absentee guest of honor. The Federal Bar association ban quet was to celebrate the 9tst birthday of the famous dean of American jurists, who retired from the supreme court January 19.
 Holmes did not attend but heard the praises of leaders In legal and political life. however, by radio, from the quiet of his study.
 He had sent his message to his wellwishers, many of them old friends to be read by Solicitor General Thomas D. Thacher, toast master. It read:
 "r can not say farewell to lifc and to you in formal words. Life secms to me like Japanese pie ture which our imagination does not allow to end with the mar gin. We aim at the infinite and when our arrow falls to earth 1t Is In flames.
 "At times the ambitious ends of life have made it seem to me lone- ly, but 1t has not been. You have given me the companionship of dear friends who have helped to keep alive the fire in my heart. lf could think that l had sent a spark to those who come after, [ should be ready to say good bye"
 During tho day Holmes received congratulatory calls from his close friends of the supreme court and others in and out of official life.
 In the evening his radio brought him additional messages. They were read from the banquet hall and included one from President Hoover. who said:
 "I wish to congratulate you most heartily upon your ninety-hrst birthday and wish you every blessing"
 Thacher, in euloglzlng Holmes contribution to the law, said at tho Gmnfr:
 His works will be known as long as there are courts to admin istcr justice, for he Is great prophet--perhnps the greatest our profession has ever known--and his conception of the judicial process, so clearly enunciated over so years ago, Is our best hope in the painful process of adjusting ancient dogma to the startling changes of the modern world"
 Representative Beck. republican, Pennsylvania. one of the principal speakers, commented on the old jurist's fine personal and judicial qualities.
 Beck recalled that while he was in the attorney generals office In 1902. President Roosevelt had been in such Q hurry to see Holmes assume the supreme court duties that he signed his commission be- fore Holmes predecessors resig- nation had become effective. A new commission had to be made out later.
