PROBE Of STUDENT
STRIKE IS PUSHED
Proposed Peace Display on
April 20 Backed by
Three Senators.

DR.. Frank w. Ballou, superin-
tendent of schools, today continued
an investigation. begun early in the
week, of the supporters of the pro-
posed student strike against war and
Fascism scheduled for April II.
The superintendent said he has
not yet received the information he
seeks and consequently has taken no
action on the Central Strike Commit
tees application for permission for
high schools to participate. The petit
ton asks sanction for a demonstra-
ton beginning at II am. and con-
tinuing for an hour, during which a
pacifist mass meeting would be held
in each of the city high schools.
Meanwhile, the central committee
Is continuing its preparations, lining
up college students in nearly all of
the colleges and universities in the
District and nearby.
Strike Plan Backed.
Three members of the Senate NUM-
tions Investigation Committee have
issued statements through the COM
mittee indorsing the strike idea. The
statements were made public by Miss
Jean Scott, chairman, special stu
dent at George Washington University.
II think the strike is far from
futile" Senator Nye, chairman, said,
and hope it will be engaged in to
the fullest extent in an orderly man
ner by the students of washington.
The time is come when those who
profess an aversion to war must
openly indorse drastic action to pre-
vent it.
"I have just returned from Dart
mouth, where plans are being rapidly
completed for a mass demonstration.
I hope the strike is q success"
Clark and Pope in Favor.
Senator Clark of Missouri, also a
member of the Munitions Committee,
praised the proposal as a help to the
Senate's investigation.
Anything that tends to focus pub
lie attention on the implications Of
the munitions investigation is a good
thing" he said. II think that the
United States is closer to peace than
it has ever been. hope the strike
is a success"
Senator Pope of Idaho, a former
college professor and also a commit
tee member, said he could see no OBJ
lection to the strike.
II think that the demonstration
against war made In an orderly fash
ion Is dramatic method Of calling
attention Of the world to the fact
that students are thinking about war
and opposing it." he said. "I see no
objection to the strike"
DR.. Ballou Is expected to submit q
report on the high school application
when the school board meets next

be $4,000. This would be used In
place of the present Tenley sub
branch in q former police station on
Wisconsin avenue and River road, not
far from the proposed new site. This
old building is considered entirely in
adequate for its present demands, and
with new school facilities to be opened
in the neighborhood soon, it would be
impossible to supply the need with
present facilities.
For the Conduit road branch a site
is available. The National Capital
Park and Planning Commission has
indicated its willingness to transfer
for library purposes site on Ashby
place and Conduit road-a portion Of
Federal Park planned for this Vi
cinity. The area would be from 1880
to 5000 square feet. The cost Of q
new building for this Is estimated at
about $4,000. 1t would replace q
one-room school house, built over so
years ago and now in a most dilap-
idated condition"
Howard" Site Available.
For a branch known as Howard
there is available q site in square
1885, lot 87S. formerly proposed for
the Contagious Disease Hospital, on
Fairmont street, between Georgia
avenue and Sherman avenue. It is
subject to ALLEGATION by the District
Commissioners to the library trustees.
This property was listed by assistant
to the engineer commissioner on july
IS, 1881, among properties belonging
to the District . considered super
fluous." A possible alternative would
be the north end of the Banneker
Recreation Center, provided the Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning
Commission should give its consent,
The former site, however, is believed
more likely. Cost of the Howard
branch has been estimated at $110.-
600.
The southwestern branch would be
constructed on property on the corner
of Seventh and H streets, already
owned by the District of Columbia.
Sufficient land is available in this
square, known as square 439. The
cost Of the building would be about
$4,000. The branch would serve the
entire southwest section.

BRITAIN FEARS
 BIG MINE STRIKE

London, Nov. 15.-(Ur).- Great Britain faced today the threat of the great industrial dispute since the general strike of 1926, involving workers in one of the country's basic induStries-coa1 mining.
 Preliminary figures from the coal miners ballot on whether to call Q nationwide strike to enforce the demand for wage increase of two shillings (50 cents) day showed an overwhelming majority in favor of national strike action.
 Twenty thousand of the ballots cast on this issue at every working pithead in the United Kingdom on Nov. Il, 12 and B were in favor of instructing the miners executive committee to call Q strike, if neces- sary to enforce the miners de. Inands. Less than 300 votes against national strike action were cast at 12 collieries.
 Primary demand of the miners is for 8 national wage agreement.

Japan Favors North
 China's Semi-Liberty
Friendly Self.Rue Ignoring Ranking Seen as Goal;
 More Initiative Urged By Major General

and consular officials in this Sec- ton.
 No politicians, militarists, bandit leaders or professional trouble makers will be allowed to stir up dissatisfaction or agitate for inde- pendence with the idea of making themselves the head of new North China state, it has been stated em- phatically.
 On the other hand, if some pow erful Chinese leaders or the gov- ernors of the five northern prov- inces should suddenly declare inde- pendence from Nanking there is little doubt in the minds of ob- servers that the new government would be recognized quickly by Japan, provided its policy was friendly to the Island Kingdom. Business Expansion Planned Japanese leaders are planning economic expansion in North China. Should the Japanese economic in- terests find themselves hampered on every side by Chinese official dom, then a new policy with regard to independence is considered likely.
 In discussing the prospects for North China independence with Japanese Consul Iichi Kishi re- gently, this correspondents words were amended. Don't say 'inde- pendence' of North China" Kishi said. You should say, 'Self-gov- | o,.s, ,,a a,,At i,, NIo,.tI1 ftI1iy1a U
 The Japanese military garrison's weekly bulletin in Tientsir1 con- tained a lengthy article purporting to show why and how North China is becoming different from other parts of the country" Major General Kenji Doihara, special agent for the Tokyo war office, recently advised the North China politicos to act more on their own initiative and not be minions for Nanking.
 Numerous significant statements have been made indicating that Japan intends to treat North China as if it were not an integral part of the Chinese republic.
 On CIle OtIlSI udklu, LlC Jdph14cSc officials have served notice on ali Japanese as well as Chinese that any independence movement start ed by politicians or agitators will be quickly quashed by the Japanese gendarmerie, police and army. Rebel Group DepOrted Japanese and Koreans who par- ticipated in the abortive Fengtai rebellion were deported, and the Japanese Young Mems Association, which co-operated with Pal Chien- wu, the rebel leader, was disband- ed and the leaders sent back to Japan.
 Another Chinese inilitarist, Yang Yu-lin, was arrested and impris- oned by Japanese gendarmes in the demilitarized zone as confessed leader of the Country Saving League of Autonomy in North China"
 Yet Japanese protection is offered in the Japanese concession of Tientsin and in Dairen and Man. churia, to many of these erstwhile "saviors of the people," and others who are ready to leap into any fight for any side, so long as pay is regular or loot is permitted.

TWO POLICEMEN
 PROVED HEROES

Boston, Nov. 15--(UP.)-Heroism of two police officers was credited to-day with saving 70 passengers from possible electrocution as they dodged sputtering live wires to es- cape from @ trolley car after 8 col- lision with an oil truck last night. The wires, snapped when the truck became wedged between the trol- ley car and a pole, whipped about Patrolmen Frederick W. McGonigle and Bernard F. Feeney while they guided the passengers to the side- walk. Flames licking about kerosene at the rear of the truck threatened q possible explosion, but firemen ar- lived in time to prevent further damage.
 The accident occurred in Dorches- ter during the rush hour. An 80O- gallon oil truck attempted left turn and collided with an inbound Hfattapan car. The impact shunted the truck into 8 trolley pole. Sup ports for both inbound and out- bound trolley wires snapped. The inbound wires broke, leaving 100 xeet of live wire dangling from nearby poles. Twelve persons re- ported minor injuries to Boston ele- Tated railway officials.

Hartford In Defense Of WPA Institutions
Formal Statement Made Public Today on Federal Ef- forts to Promote Educational Features

ed to serve students who desire to transfer to other colleges, this Is only one of its purposes. It could not be said to be its Fundamental pur- pose. Its fundamental purpose is to educate, taking into consideration the needs of students whose educa- tional future implies credits that will count in courses to be pur- sued in other colleges.
 PrOgram Held Sound
 "'The faculty regards the educa- tional program to which we are committed as complete and sound, and worthy of comparison with col- lege programs generally. There IS nothing in this program that is fam tastic or unusual in the way of ex- pertinent. Survey courses are offered by many colleges either under the name of introductory survey courses or as orientation courses. So true Is this that these courses might well be called traditional.
 By a recognized college, is com- monly understood college which is a member of the American As- sociation of Colleges, or similar re- gional associations. These fall into two groups, those which offer in- troductory survey or orientation courses, and those which do not. Colleges of nationwide reputation can be found in each group. The present trend is to introduce these courses even into the most conser- vative colleges. The faculty of the Hartford Federal college considers it eminently sound educational pol- icy to continue these courses.
 Credit Question Cited
 "No college can guarantee what credit another college will give to its students transferring. Recogni- ton depends primarily upon the abilities and accomplishments of the student.
 "As for credits for extra -curricu- lar activities, the faculty calls at- tention to the fact that the word credit as used here has nothing to do with the minimum scholastic academic load. It only concerns stimulation of interest in extra-cur- ricular activities, and a recognition of educational value in these activi- ties, which is general in all cole leges."
 A Worldwide Illustrated Ency- clopedia has been presented to the college by Israel Witkower, and the director states that he hopes this will be 8 precedent and that the college will receive more gifts, par- ticularly books. It was stated that the music department needs 8 phonograph-radio.

CAIRO IN DREAD
 OF MORE TROUBLE

Cairo, Egypt, Nov. 15-(UP)-Fear of further disorders hung over Cairo today as the authorities learned that Madame Zaghloul and Nahas Pasha were planning further dem- onstrations of an anti-British char aster. Madame Zaghloul is the wid- ow of the founder of the Wafd party, which champions more com- plete independence for Egypt, and Nahas Pasha is leader of an extreme wing of the party. Nationalist feel ings were heightened by circulation of a rumor that one of the students injured in Wednesdays rioting had died and been buried secretly at night.
 To forestall a demonstration, the victim of yesterdays clash at the Abbas bridge, which spans the Nile between Ghiza and Cairo, was sent to Alexandria by train for burial there. It was feared that a funeral service here might develop a clash between the police and nationalist students.
