Chinese Place
Invasion Charge
Before League
Outright Demand for In
tervention May Follow
in September
By WALLACE CARROLL
United Press Staff Correspondent


GENEVA, Aug. 3l.-CUP)-
China paved the way Monday for
formal appeal to the League
of Nations against Japan's lnva-
sion when her Geneva delegate
submitted a note charging the
.Japanese with violating the
League covenant, the Kellogg
anti-war pact and the nine-power
theaty.
The note asked no immediate
action from the League and
pointed merely to Japan's "delib-
crate aggression but observers
said China apparently was ma
neuvering into position for an
outright demand for Intervention
at next months meeting of the
assembly.
The communication, delivered
nv DIR. Victor Hoo, asked the
League secretariat to transmit 1T
TO all League members and the
advisory committee for Sino-Jap-
anese disputes, of which the Unit
ed States is a member.
The secretariat forwarded I'M
mediately a copy of the Chinese
note to the U. S. legation at
Berne and the American consul
ate ar Geneva. The new U. 5.
consul. Howard Bueknell, arrived
here today, succeeding Prentiss

'JOBLESS CENSUS
MEASURE SIGNED

HYDE PARK, N. Y, Aug. 81.
(UP)-President Roosevelt last
night signed the controversial
"jobless census" bill, passed by
congress in the last hours of it's
recent session to give the admin
istration it's first official estimate
of the depression's toll in unem-
ployed.
The measure, which directs
that all unemployed be given an
opportunity TO register on the
government census, indirectly
will furnish a measuring rod Of
number of persons who have ben
Gifted from the $4,000, 100000
spent on federal relief since
April, 1888.
The results of the census, UNI
der terms of the bill, are to be
compiled before April 1, 1888.
The administration had oppos-
cd counts of jobless until last
spring. President Roosevelt said
such census would be Of little
value because of difficulty in
defining unemployment"
He agreed, however, to the
provisions Of voluntary" UNI
employment census provided in
the Black bill. The result he said,
would be the number of people
in the u. S. out Of work, the num-
Der able to work and the number
wanting work.
Exact means of making the
jobless count has not been deter
mined. Mr.. Roosevelt said he IA
vOred voluntary registration at
designated headquarters through
out the country instead of a door
to-door, bell-ringing census that
would take most Of the $4,000
600 relief money authorized in
the bill.

Fishing Smack Is
Sunk By Torpedo
Veers 2 Miles Off Course !;
Fishermen Escape

NEWPORT, R. l., Aug. 81
(UP)-Three fishermen escaped
injury late yesterday when 20
foot "dud" torpedo fred from a
U. S. navy plane veered nearly
two miles off it's course and struck
their 40-foot smack.
The torpedo ripped a gaping
hole in the boat, which sank al
most instantly. Manuel Bonas, the
owner, and two others were re-
moved from the smack to govern
ment boats patrolling the Cod
dington Point range.
Only two weeks ago a similar
torpedo tore a hole in the seawall
of the "Pen Craig" estate of Mr..
and Mrs. Hamilton Fish Webster
after narrowly missing Vincent
Astor's yacht Nourmahal.

SOVIET IS ROCKED TO IT'S
MUDSILLS. NOT SHATTERED
Stains Great Purge Laid to State of Fright on His
Part; Most Trusted Leaders Slaughtered

regime have been shaken momen-
tarily. People are bewildered and
confused by the sudden swath of
executions and arrests, by the dis
grace of SO many once prominent
figures of the ruling clique. But
the solid monolith Of the Com
munist party does not seem to be
cracked irreparably.
At no time during the two
months of the crisis has there
been any indication of popular
support of the disaffected ele-
ments, either in the party, the
army, or the non-party mass. Nor
has there been the slightest ru-
NOR of disorder or uprising any
where in the Soviet Union.
Even diplomats and foreign
correspondents who have lived
for years in the Soviet Union find
themselves bewildered and hard
pressed to discover an explana-
ton which satisfactorily covers
all ramifications of the urge.
DISAFFECTED GROUPS
NOT ALLOWED TO MERGE
The most reasonable guess at
the underlying reason for such a
general purge is that some de-
velopment or combination of de-
velopments gave Stain such a
fright that he decided to "crack
down" ruthlessly on all classes
and kinds of potential opposition,
no matter what, before it had a
chance to unite.

Episcopal Bishop To Arrange
Further Discussion For Proposed
Junior College AT Kanuga Lake
Plan Would Call for Fur
Their Development at
Church Center

Although the project is still in
its early stages. action toward the
establishment of junior college
at Kanuga Lake, Episcopal sum-
mer conference center, has been
started and the proposition will
be thoroughly discussed at a
meeting to be called in the fu-
ture by the ri. Rev. Robert f..
Gribbin, bishop of the diocese Of
Western North Carolina.
The first action on this matter
was taken at the convention Of
the diocese of Western North
Carolina, held earlier in the year,
when the following resolution
WINS adopted: "Resolvcd, that the
bishop of the diocese be instruct
ed to appoint a committee to con-
fer with similar committees from
the diocese of East Carolina, Up
per South Carolina, and South
Carolina in the matter of the cS-
Enlistment of junior college at
kanuga Lake"
Pursuant to this resolution,
Bishop Gribbin called prelimi-
nary meeting at Kanuga on July
10. Present were Bishop Gribbin,
Bishop X. G.. Finlay, of Upper
South Carolina, Rev. Rufus Nor
gan, Rev. w. G.. Cravener, Rev.
James p. Burke, DR.. William r.
Kirk and F. A. Ewbank, both of
Hcndersonville.
Rev. Burke, chairman of the
department of religious education
in this diocese, made the follow
ing report at this meeting:
I'VE believe there is a wonder
full opportunity in this type of
education for the Episcopal
church in the southeast. Other
Christian bodies are functioning
efficiently in this field of educa-
t'iOn.
What do we mean by this type
of education? We mean a junior
college for both men and women
where the cost is not to exceed
$3.50 or $500 per year, an &C
credited institution. Why estab-
lish it at Kanuga? We own the
property, it is accessible, 1T is
popular, it is in a beautiful and
health-producing section OF the
southeast.
"Why not Sewanee or st.
Mary's? They are not co-educa-
tional. Their charge is prohibitiVe
for the large number of men and
women desiring to continue their
education through preparatory or
high school. st. Mary's is not IN
the mountain region. If a church
is to be truly Catholic, 1t must
provide institutions for those who
are not in the economic upper
crust as well as for those who
are. The other Christian bodies do
not regard their junior colleges
as being in competition with their
other institutions located in other
sections of the state. They are
supplemental. They serve as
feeders in many instances. We
firmly believe that such an insti-
tuition would help both Sewanee
and st. Mary's. -.
"The success of such an insti-
tuition, as with all institutions,
would depend chiefly upon secur.
ing the right man to head it, and

FOR CAMPAIGN
Republicans Charge New
Deal Brings on Choas
by 0utlays
DEMOCRATS READY
TO MEET ARGUMENTS
By MACK JOHNSON
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Aug. 81. CUP.
Republican leaders, as a prelude
to the 1888 congressional cleo
tons campaign, last night charg-
ed the New Deal with leading the
country into financial chaos
through topheavy spending and
warned that additional taxes can
be expected.
The assault was led on behalf
of congressional Republicans by
Representative John E. Taber, D.,
n. Y, ranking minority member
of the powerful house appropria-
tons committee who asserted, in
the face of administration prom
Uses of a balanced budget, that
the past session of congress made
the third highest appropriations
in U. S. history-$l0,252,892 $50
including $700,000,000 of reap
preparations.
This figure was disputed quick
ly by Acting Committee Chair
man Clarence Cannon, D., Mo-,
who contended that appropria-
tiOnS Of the last session were less
than appropriations of the previ-
css session which set aside ST.
~. , 600, 900 for the soldiers
bonus.
Cannon is preparing a recapi-
tulation of congressional spend
ing during the past year. He said
it is expected to sho wa figure at
least 81 ,000,000,000 under Tab
er's estimates and more than
$1O0,000,000 below budget esti-
mates.
Capital Hill officials regarded
the "battlc of figures" as indica-
ton that Republican strategists
expect to base many of their
campaign arguments on admins
tration extravaganza. Republican
leaders have predicted that they
will recapture from rs to 100 of
the seats now held by the top
heavy Democratic majority.
"There is no doubt but that
spending will be a leading issue
in the campaign" Majority Lead
or Sam Rayburn, d., Tex, said.
"But we are ready for them. The
country is prosperous, relief needs
are decreasing and there is gen
eral satisfaction with President
Roosevelt's program. Admins
trations do not change at a time
like that"
Cannon predicted that by slash
ing all unnecessary appropria-
tons, eliminating emergency &C
tivities, by collecting increased
and chopping relief and
