 While the pact was being signed statesmen in other capitals of Eur ope and the world prepared for the outbreak of war that appeared im- pending.
 The British and French Ambas- sadors to Warsaw called on Foreign Minister Beck to reiterate their pledges of their governments to pro- tect the independence of Poland.

In Regulations

Folta showed that the fishing regulations specified that I35th meridian (JuneaW time should pre- vail for all of Southeast Alaska. but Robertson and Grigsby argued that the Secretary of Commerce, who issues the regulations, has not been given authority by Con- gress to specify the time standard which shall apply.
 Folta countered by reading a sec- tion from the Congressional Act of 1926 giving the Secretary author ity to regulate the methods, means and time" of fishing.
 Saying that the time question raised was one which must have been ruled upon some time in the past, Judge Alexander withheld a ruling on the motion until autnori- ties could be cited. This morning the Judge denied i the motion of Robertson and Grigs- 1 by.

Effect on Court

Opposing the motion, Assistant U. s. Attorney George w. Folta said that 135th meridian time had been in effect by custom through out Southeast Alaska for many years.
 "If this argument prevails Fol- ta argued, everything which this
 ourt has done between the hours of II and 12 o'clock on Saturday mornings is without legal effect.
 F'olta explained his point later by saying that the time for tran acting judiciary business is speci- fled by law and that court busi- ness cannot be conducted on Sat- urday afternoons. If the time To- cally observed in Juneau is an hour behind legal time, he said, when the clock in the courtroom points to II o'clock it is actually noon and court business transacted in the following hour is contrary to law

critics, speaking on. Freedom for the Creative Artist"
 Stressing the significance of pos- sessing clear understanding of the relation of civil liberties to religious liberty and democracy itself, Dr. Clinchy added
 Those of us who are concerned with the preservation of religious liberty are becoming more and more aware of the inter-relat ationship of all freedoms. The general assault upon civil liberties in other parts of the world is @ direct and immediate threat to religious liberty. We know that when the latter freedom is undermined the extinction of all liberties is on its way"
 Registration Heavy
 Dr. Clinchy also announced that the registration for the Institute re- ceived thus far exceeds that of any previous Williamstown Institute of Human Relations. An examination of this years registrations, he said, reveals an unusual amount of inter- est on the part of public school ad- ministrators and teachers, as well as an increased number of faculty members and students registered for the college section. Geographically, interest in the Institute is wide spread, registrations having been re- ceived from every section of the country with the New England and Middle Atlantic states leading in the number expected to attend. Follow ing closely on the heels of the latter group is a large delegation from California.

, The council will again stage bowl of rice" parties in some 1000 com- munities throughout hte United States in its drive for funds to pro- vide food and medical care for the Chinese women and children refu- gees suffering not only from the horrors of war, but from ravages of famine and flood.
 Bowl of Rice
 The council has decided to re- peat the bowl of rice" parties this year in View of the success of last years drive, Col. Roosevelt an- nounced.
 Even far greater stress will be placed on the drive for funds this year, because the need of the in- nocent, non-cornbatant sufferers is so desperately great now with the und eclared war il1 its third year. Col. Roosevelt pointed out.
 So much prominence has been given to the actual news of the war in China, he declared, that the real story of the tragic, desperate plight of the countless millions driv- en from their homes, badly in need of food, clothing and medical care, has been partly told.
 Despite the heroic efforts of the Chinese people to take care of their own as well as the courageous work of missionary and relief groups, there is still an appalling need of medical supplies, food and clothing on the part of innocent civilians caught in the sweep of war and further harassed by the summer famine, he stated. Press reports from China, and statements by missionaries and others returning from China clearly reveal the lack of adequate supplies.
 Humanitarian
 "The council is appealing to the humanitarian instincts of the American people to aid innocent women and children of a peace loving, friendly race, suddenly driv- en from their homes and lacking even the barest essentials of life," Col. Roosevelt stated. Americans have contributed to relieve suffer- ing in many nations, in flood and famin swept China many times, to Japan to rebuild from the havoc of earthquakes and floods, to the vic- tins of the Spanish war, and to the aid of refugees from Nazi Germany.
 "All this aid has been deserved and nobly given, but equally worthy of the charity of the American people are the innocent, non- -combatants in China for whom the council appeals. Not one cent will be deducted from the proceeds of the bowl of rice parties for administrative expenses. Every penny will go toward reliev- Ing the suffering of 50,0O0, ,000 Chinese non-combatants, most of whom are | women and children"
 The list of the prominent Ameri- can citizens who have agreed to head | committees in various communities thrucghout the nation, as well as leaders in industry, outstanding fig- ures on radio, stage and screen, as well as in social life who have offered their services in the drive this year will be announced in the next few weeks, as well as additional details of the bowl of rice parties, Col. Roosevelt said
