DYKES ARE BREAKING

SHANGHAI, June l4. - Flood waters cascading through the breaches in the dikes of the mighty Yellow River have blocked the Japanese before Chengchow.
 Engineers familiar with the ways of the meandering stream fear that one of the greatest catastrophes of the century will result.
 Reports from the front said the Japanese have been forced to with draw as far south as Kaifeng, 43 miles east of Chengchow on the Lunghai Railway.
 Reports say that the boiling Yel- low River is ten feet deep north of Chungmow, about 25 miles east of Chengchow.
 Numerous villages are inundated by the flood.
 The water is from two to three feet deep at several points crossing the Lunghai Railway
 Japanese engineers said the pres ent upsurge is only a preliminary to the heavy flow which is nor mally not at the maximum height until mid-July.

DEATH LEAP
 IS TAKEN BY DR. CAMPBELL
Worlds IGreatest Astron- omer Suicides Jumps
 from Apartment Window

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, June IA. pr. William Wallace Campbell, 75, regarded as one of the worlds greatest astronomers, committed sui eide, Coroner Leland said, by leap ing from a third-story window of his apartment. His son Wallace ascribed the act to ill-health.
 A vigil more than a generation long on a mountain top ferreting out the secrets of the stars pre- pared Dr. William Wallace Camp bell to become president of one of the largest universities west of Chi cago Dr. Campbell developed from a little known teacher of mathe- matics and astronomy to one of the worlds eminent astronomers.
 Given Many HOnors
 Heaped with honors from scien- tific societies over the world, Dr. Campbell was asked to step down from his lofty place among the telescopes to chart the course of life for the thousands of students who attend the University of Cali fornia annually.
 Except for periods of lecturing at Yale, at the National Academy of Sciences and elsewhere, and when directing astronomical expeditions to various parts of the world, Dr. Campbell resided at the observatory continuously from 1890 until his appointment as President of the University of California in 1923
 Directed Expeditions
 In pursuit of solar data, Dr. Campbell journeyed to every part of the world. He directed the fol- lowing eclipse expeditions: to Jeur, India, 1898; Thomaston, Ga, 1900; Alhama, Spain, 1905; Flint Island,

Lundberg Says SUP Is for Trade Unionists, Not
 Politicians

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, June 14. The independent Sailors Union of the Pacific has withdrawn from the Maritime Federation to seek an alliance with the Teamsters Marine Bremen, and AFL Long, Shoremen.
 The sailors acted as the F'eder- ation convention considered a pro- posal of waterfront unions to nego- tiate for renewal of contracts this fall with employers, jointly, instead of individually.
 Harry Lundberg, Secretary of the Sailors Union of the Pacific, said votes had been taken in Seattle, Portland, Aberdeen, San Pedro, and San Francisco last night, all auth orizing the withdrawal from the Federation.
 The withdrawal was predicted last week when delegates of the SUP bolted the convention in pro- test of a refusal by the Federation to seat representatives of Tacoma longshoremen, belonging to the AFL.
 Said Lundberg: Our organize tion is for trade unionists not politicians"

Anyway, Matanuska Prored
 CartOts WiU GrOw nl Aldskd
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, June 14.-If the government should say that after October there would be no more relief money for, anybody, it would be somewhat comparable to what has been done for Harry Hopkins northern outpost, the Matanuska test-tube pioneer project in Alaska.
 This most dramatic of all relief projects has come to the jumping off place, and families which dur ing the last two years have re- ceived as much as $75 month for clearing their farms will get nothing after their fall harvest is in.
 Jack London and other writers have painted Alaska as land of perpetual snow and snarling male mutes. Probably there was not a handful of people in all the United States who ever knew that they raise carrots, pigs and peas up there. Matanuska has at least dem- onstrated that Alaskan farming IS a possibility.
 It was two years ago that the re- lief administration took the coun- try by surprise and rounded up about 200 families from stranded farming and numbering communi- ties in Michigan, Minnesota, Mon tana and other northern belt states to cart them off to Alaska.
 Taking them off to Siberia was the accusation at times voiced by critics, but after a few sensational assertions and complaints, news about the pioneer project petered out until the present order was issued putting them on their own.

WILL DREDCE FOR MISSING
 SOVIET PLANE
Portion of Arctic Will Be Searched for Craft
 and Six Pliers

WASHINGTON, June 14.-A DOT tion of the Arctic Ocean will be dredged this summer in an inten- sive effort to attempt to solve the problem of the disappearance of six Russian fliers last August.
 The Soviet Embassy explained that dredging will be around the spot where Eskimos reported they saw a splash, believed to have been a plane, in the Arctic wastes.
 Even though the Soviet Govern ment does not really believe the splash was caused by the missing plane, no chances are being taken, Embassy officials said, and added that dredging will be resorted to make positive determination. It is said the splash might have been caused by searching plane.
 The dredging efforts will be made late in July or early in August when the ice melts enough to permit of the work.
 Meanwhile planes will probably be sent over the area.
 This is not so much as reSump- tion of the search for the missing fliers as intensification so that it can truly be said the search has never been stopped" said Soviet Elm bassy official.
 The official added that nothing is contemplated at present in the way of an International Airline from Russia through Alaska to the Unit ed States proper.

FOR NATIONAL DEFENSE

Under the contract with the 200 families taken to Matanuska in 1855, each was to have 40 acres of land, farming equipment. houses and a grub stake to last until cash crops could be raised. They earned their grub stake by clearing IS acres of their own land, for which the gov- ernment paid them $6250 an acre. An energetic Swede could clear off about two acres a month-that is, cut the trees and burn the brush. The government paid contractors to remove the stumps.
 Of the money he earned, each farmer was allowed maximum of $75 month and the rest was kept for him as nest egg when the government should cut off the money. Some earned additional money building roads. All in all, the government has put $5,000, 900 into the project. At the present only ITO families are on the site and if
