Child Conferences
 Increase In State
Parents Pay More Attention to So.Caled Neglected
 PeriOd'-Summer Round-Ups Available in Sections

That Connecticut parents and public spirited people are paying more and more attention to the so- called neglected period" of a child's life is evidenced by the fact that Well Child Conferences are now being carried on in 9l towns and similar work is being conducted under local supervision in the larger cities. In addition, the number of pre.school children be- ing examined in the annual Summer Round-ups is increasing substantially each year.
 These facts concerning the health supervision of pre- school children were brought out by Dr. Martha l.. Cuifford, director of the Bureau of Child Hygiene of the State Depart ment of Health, in an article ap- bearing in the departments current monthly bulletin.
 For the past IA years, Dr. Clifford said, the department has sponsored and conducted in the smaller com. muniteis health supervision centers known as Well Child Conferences to which any mother may bring her infant and pre-school children. for advice. If the child is found in need of medical attention, the moth- CT is advised to take him to her own family physician. .,

By MILTON BRONNER NEA Service Stan Correspondent

London, Nov. 3.-Overshadowed by wars in China and Spain, one of the most significant events in re- cent history has had little atten- tion: the emergence of MoSlem lands once more as powers that have to be reckoned with and the recrudence of Arabs as an important factor in world politics.
 Great Britain is wrestling with difticulties born of her proposal to carve up the Holy Land into a re- serve of the Holy cities watched over by Britain-a small Jewish :rl- dependent state and a larger Arab state. Jews and Arabs of Palestine alike rejected the proposal and the Arabs have once more started 8 reign of terror in Palestine.
 The bitter dispute has revealed some basic facts. The Jews, 15,- O00,000 of them, scattered all over the earth with no homeland of their own, no government of their own, may have shining lights in finance, business, the arts and the cultured professions, but their influence does not weigh in the balance with that of the Arabs. The latter are sup- ported by 2l0,00O000 Moslems. In the League of Nations they have the voice of Moslem member na- tionS. Only outsiders among the League members can speak for the Jews. Britain, with its 10000, 1000 Moslems in India, has to walk war fly. France, with its millions of Moslems in its African empire, has to do the same.
 The roll of Moslem states is sig nificant as to numbers and popu- lation: Afghanistan with 6,5OO,00O people; Albania with 100000; Saudi Arabia with 3,500,000; Yemen with 250O,0o0; Egypt with 14,0o0,- GOO: Iran with 9000,000; 1rak with 2,85O,0OO; Turkey with 13,7OO,O0O. Then there are the 800,u0 Moslems in Palestine, 100000 in Transjordan and 3,000,000 in Syria.
 Demand Emigration Stop
 A meeting of a Pan Arab and anti-Zionist congress at Bludan in Syria was attended by 119 national- ist delegates from Palestine, 35 from Transjordan, l3 from Irak, 4 from Egypt, 60 from Lebanon, 75 from Syria proper and one from Saudi Arabia.
 None of the Arab governments sent official delegates. But those who did attend represented a con- siderable section of the Arab popu- lation of Asia and Egypt.
 They adopted anti-Zionist reso- lutions and also resolved to help their Moslem brothers all they could in their fight against the partition of Palestine and their demand that the British government stop the emigration of Jews to Palestine.

 Significant, of this new power of the Moslems Is the persisting WOOL ing of them by Mussolini. Some months ago, when Mussolini was ln Libya, he made speech in which he

Shaky Europe Watches Moslems'
 Growing Power And Unrest MUSSoLnN SEEKS TO CAPITALIZE ON ANTIBRrTSH SENTIMENT

Red Sea is the coast of Yemen. In case of trouble with England, 1t just might be that Italy's submarines could dominate that narrow mouth of the Red Sea.
 So grateful was the. Yemenite King to his great friend that he sent a letter approving the Duce's Islalnic. policy, declaring that it was very eflcaciolls, that it had con- quered the hearts of Moslems and that 1t was hoped he would go on developing his policy. Flattering to Mussolini also was the fact that the Yemenite King recognized ItaIy's empire in Ethiopia.
 MOslem Alliance
 Turkey, IraS, Iran and Afghan istan recently signed an Eastern pact. In world where predatory powers are land hungry, these four Moslem states got together.
 The contracting nations stated they desired to secure political sec curity in the Near and Middle East; undertook to abstain from meddling in each others internal affairs; to respect each others common from tiers, and abstain from aggression against each other.
 When, more recently, the new Turkey held its biggest army ma neuvers, Kemal Pasha, had by his side military attaches from his three Moslenl allies. He was show ing them that MoSlem power could create an army as potent man for man and gun for gun as any thing the Christian nations could equip. .tf

proclaimed himself protector and friend of the Islamic world. And just recently. as if to reply, the Moslem notables in Libya sent him a message in which they reaftirmed their solidarity with the Arabs in Palestine. There was no reason why they should send such a mes- sage to the Duce except to show publicly that they recognized him as pro-Moslem, whereas they consid- cred the British government pro- Zionist.
 At the same time the directed press of Italy returned the lire of the British press. Some months ago, when an attempt was made in Ethiopia to assassnate General Graziani, the British press described savage reprisals the Italians took in Addis-Ababa, saying hundreds Of houses were burned down and thou sands of Philippians shot out Of hand.
 Reprisal Draws Criticism

NEW UNIVERSITY
 IS INAUCURATED

Vatican City, Nov. 3-(UP)-The new Ateneo Romano or pontifical University of Rome, which was founded by Pope Plus at his own expense, was inaugurated by the Pontiff today in an inspection tour and brief speech. To prevent un- due strain on his weakened legs. at. tendants placed the Pope on a lit- ter and carried him into the uni- versity, which is in St. John La- teran where the Italo-Vatican Con- cordat was signed in 1929
 The Pope, contrary to eXpecta- tons, spoke very briefly, exhorting the pupils to be faithful to the church and declaring you are the real hope of the church and the Glory of God"
 Cardinal Marchetti- -Sclvaggiani, vicar of Romez, read a message of welcome to which the Pope replied. Prior to the speech making the Pope prayed in the university chapel and inspected the university halls from the litter carried by six stalwarts.

HEROES OF 1882 TN CHINA WIN
 BACK PRESTIGE
18th Route Army Generals Accepted By Ranking as
 Real Patriots

Ranking, Nov. 3 (U.P)-The great surge of national feeling brought about by the Japanese invasion of China has swept aside all former differences among the countrys civil and military leaders.
 It has brought back to Ranking many political exiles who a few months ago were all but outlaws in the eyes of the government. Among these are the former commanders of the 18th Route Army, which gained worldwide fame and admira- ton during its long-drawn defense of Shanghai in 1892.
 The first to return was Gen. Tsai Ting-kai, field commander of the army and the outstanding hero of the 1892 war. AS soon as he came he dropped his well-cut western suits and the civilian manner he had acquired abroad, donned uni- form and left for the front.
 Garrison Head Also Back
 Now he has been followed by Gen. Chen Ming-shu who, as garrison commander of Shanghai and Man. king, was his superior officer in 1882. General Chen is more re. markable as a political than as a military figure. An old Kuomintang revolutionary and former governor of Kwantung, he was the founder of the Chinese Social-Democratic Party" and for a long time source of irritation to the government
 In 1883 he led the 18th Route Army in a rebellion in the course ct which 8 peoples government" was proclaimed in Foochow with him. self as chairman. This government demanded war against Japan and reconciliation with the Red Army Although the rebellion was quickly crushed, its slogans continued to reverberate and were voiced again by the anton-Kwangsi rebels of 1885 and the leaders of the Sian revolt last December. Today, when they have become the policy of the government, General Chen and other exiles are returning to Man. king not as pardoned rebels but as recognized patriots.
 Hsu Chien Welcomed
 With General Chen came the for mer commander chief of the 18th Route Army, Gen. Chiang Kwang- mai, and Gen. Dung Chao-youan, bespectacled English-speaking di- rector of the heroic defence of the Woosung forts during the first Shanghai conflict. Another, non- military, member of the group is George Hsu Chien, fiery old rad- ical who, as & leading figure in General Chen's Social-Democratic party, was one of the moving spirits of the Foochow peoples govern- 1nent."
 Thus the 18th Route Army has re- turned, in the person of Its leaders, to the national capital. But 1t has returned only in an abstract sense, because the army itself long since has been disbanded and even its name was abolished when the pres tige it carried was harnessed to anti-government aims.
 The heroes O. Shanghai were broken on the wheel of internal struggle when the government sought to escape the catastrophe solution which 1t maintained was inSvitable-and which has since proved to be so.
