U.S.. May Be Haven to Preserve
Scientific Records of World
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Scientific "monasteries" of the
United States may be called on to
preserve the worlds records of dis
covery if the war in Europe con-
tinues.
During the dark ages of European
history the long records of scientific
findings prior to that time were
laboriously copied by hand and pre-
served by monks working in the
monasteries of Ireland-then an iso-
lated country not subject to inva-
sion. Their work preserved the rec
ords for future generations.
Today some scientists anticipate
the need for American institutions
to perform a similar duty. The Army
Medical Library contains more med
ical information in its millions of
books, papers, reports and PAM
phlets than any other library in the
world. The Congressional Library
has other millions of books-usually
two copies of each-on every scien-
tific subject from astronomy to 70
ology.
In the astronomical monasteries
of the Carnegie Institution of Wash
ington, Harvard University, the Uni
versity of Michigan, Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, the Smith
sonian Institution, and others are
kept records of the stars which
would require hundreds of years to
duplicate if they should be destroyed
in a bombardment.
English Scientists Work Halted.
In thousand laboratories
throughout the country scientists
are carrying on studies on inheri-
tance in.plants and animals, using
strains which have been cultivated
in some cases for so years or more.
They are also cultivating strains Of
bacteria for the study of disease
which could not be duplicated In
years
English scientists report to their
American collaborators that they
have been forced to discontinue
much of their research and concen-
trate on war activities. Similar re-
ports have come from French, Ger
mans, Italians and other Europeans.
An English biologist attending the
International Cancer Conference de-
clared practically every laboratory
had destroyed its colonies of mice,
animals which are one of the chief
tools in the study of cancer, and
turned to studies with direct appI-
cation to the war.
German scientists for several years
have been concentrating more and
more on purely utilitarian research,
such as development of synthetic

Horse and dog fanciers here have
been alarmed by the movement in
Europe to put down" animals
which is the animal-loving Eng
lishman's delicate expression for
destroying them-in order to econo-
mize on food materials.
Many Pets Are Killed.
Dispatches reported more than
1000, 900 dogs and cats killed in Lon
don in the first week of the war.
Since then word reached here of the
destruction of England's noted Bad
minton pack Of foxhounds because
the master was called into service.
New all-time records have been
set by the biggest American liners
in bringing in pedigreed dogs, with
Sc arriving last week on the WASH

arrivals included five champion

Sayre Says U. 5. Obliged

MANILA, Oct. % Sunday The
United States has moral obliga-
ton" not to withdraw its Philippine
independence program, Francis B.
Sayre, new high commissioner, said
today.
Mr.. Sayre, who arrived yesterday,
told reporters there were many diff

In all of the warning countries,
scientists who normally work on
research problems in the labora-

Not all of their research work will

Europe's PEI Stock
Finds Safe Haven

Pediereed Horses
And Dogs Valued at

NEW YORK, Oct. 1s.-Dumb
refugees from manmade war, pedi-
greed horses and dogs valued by
shippers at more than $1,000, 900,
are finding a haven in America.
Transportation officials said all
records for such incoming cargoes
have been broken since the Euro
pean war started. Horse and dog
lovers have been shipping them
here to save the animals from de-
struction or the breeds from de-
terioration.
On the American Trader, arriv-

horses which had been stranded in
Europe and IS foxhounds from the
famous North Cotswold hunting

When w. w. B. Scott, master of
this pack, was called up as major
in his Hussars regiment, he sent
this nucleus of his hounds as a

land, to preserve the breed. Ten

WITH THE BRITISH ROYAL
AIR FORCE SOMEWHERE IN
FRANCE, Oct. 81 PASSED by R. A. F.
deld CENSOR If German air raids
continue on Scotland, Britain's
Royal Air Force may soon be or
dered to cease scattering propa-
ganda confetti over Germany and

for the first time since the bomb
Ing of the German fleet at Kiel
Harbor on September 4.
The decision to abandon leaf1et
warfare and fill the bombracks with
explosives is matter of high pol
Icy and would be taken by the
British cabinet in consultation with
the French.
The machines now concealed in
secret airdromes over hundreds of
square miles behind the Maginot
Line would probably be the spear
head for such an attack If it were
ordered.
No Bombs Carried Yet.
In actual fact, I am told on good
authority that the British planes
In France have not yet carried
bombs on any of their flights over
German territory, but the possibil-
lty has been envisaged that the
strategical situation on the western
front might one day demand swift
concentration of irst-line aircraft
for a mass raid on military objec-
tlves in or behind the German
lines.
Should the decision for such
action come in midwinter, bad
weather conditions would hardly be
likely to prevent it being carried to
a successful conclusion.
Special steps have been taken at
all the airdromes here to prevent
the bombers from being "earth-
bound by the winter mud and they
should be able to take off and enter
action against the enemy in all but
the very worst of conditions.
In this, the situation is far differ
ent from that which existed during
the last war. when the planes of both
sides were often kept grounded for
weeks at time because of heavy
rains, low clouds or fog.
Wood Sees French Colleague.
The visit of Sir Kingsley Wood,
the British air minister, to the RoyaI
Air Force war stations last week af-
forded him the opportunity for a
long consultation with the French
air minister, Guy la Chambre.
The meeting, which followed upon
decisions recently taken by the Su-
preme War Council, enabled the two
ministers to discuss wide range of
subjects of mutual interest and laid
the groundwork for even closer CO.
operation between the British and
French air forces when the time for
action comes.
Later, at the R. A. F. field head
quarters, Sir Kingsley pored long
over operations maps with the high
est staff officers of the force in
France.

quest before Congress, it would be
for Congress and for Congress alone
to decide what course of action the
United States should pursue.
Such decision, I need hardly
add, would have to be made in the
light of such conditions as may then
exist in the world and in the Phil
ippines. What these will be no one
can foretell."

Policeman Killed Friday.
Trouble in this area began Fri
day when a Chinese policeman was
killed and a colleague, a Sikh, was
wounded by group of men in
Chinese civilian clothes. The shoot
ing occurred on one of the roads
just outside of the settlement
boundaries which have been a sub
ject of dispute between the settle
ment's governing council and the
Japanese-controlled Chinese admin
istration of greater Shanghai.
AS the tension grew, Cornell
Franklin, American chairman of
the settlement council. said if Amer
leans outside the settlement road
areas were endangered that I'VE
may ask the United States Marines
here to take hand"
Much of the friction has arisen
over the policing of roads Just out
side the settlement area built under
land regulations which form the
basis of the settlements administra-
tion. Both the settlement authori-
ties and the officials of greater
Shanghai carried on the policing of
the extra-settlement areas from 1927
until the outbreak of hostilities in
1887.
Italians Double Patrols.
After the incident today, which
occurred in the xtra-settlement
area, the Italians doubled the patrol
forces of their defense sector, aug
menting the settlement police. They
remained watchful against further
developments.
Meanwhile, the Japanese police
took possession of the protection
corps headquarters which was
situated in Japanese occupied terri
tory off the settlement road.
