In Facilities
Is Revealed

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(SNS)--
Establishment of closer coopera-
tive arrangement bstween Howard
University and the Freedmen's
Hospital was announced today by
Secretary of the Interior Harold l.,
Tckes. The plan represents a con-
siderable improvement in the
teaching facilities of the Howard
University Medical School and is in
line with the practices generally
followed by Class A medical schools
throughout the country.
Under the arrangement, Howard
University will furnish all the pro-
fessional care OF patients in the
hospital. This system replaces
somewhat looser arrangement
whereby part Of the hospital staff
previously had no connection with
the University or with the teach
ing system in the hospital of the
University's school of medicine.
The plan announced by Secre-
tary Ickes provides that the Presl-
dent and Trustees of the Universe
ty shall nominate for appointment
by the Secretary of the Interior all
members of the professional staff OF
the Hospital. This includes the at
tending physicians staff, the resi-
dent and internes staff, the con-
sulting physicians staff and all re-
placements in the various technical
services The plan does not affect
the administrative personnel of the
hospital.
Salaries of the members of the
professional staff will be paid by
the University, except for that
portion of the salaries of residents
and internes now paid by Freed
mems Hospital.
The agreement sets forth that
the professional staff nominated by
Howard University and approved
by the Secretary of the interior
shall be organized by the Univer-
sity along the lines generally ac-
cepted in approved teaching hos
pitfalls. One member of the profess
sional staff is to be nominated by
the University to be chief of staff
and chairman of the executive
committee of the hospital.
The title of the Surgeon-in-C Chief
is to be changed to Director il
Chief. The Director in Chief is tC
be responsible to the Secretary o.
the Interior for the business anC
general administration of the hos
pital. tr.
The agreement states that il
shall not be construed as discon'
tinuing the employment or alter
ing the civil service status of any
present employee of the Freed
mems Hospital

Rome Conversations
To Resume Tomorrow

ROME, Aug. 10 (P.-Italy and
Hungary suspended diplomatic con-
versations for the week end while
watching other European capitals
tonight for the next move in the
crisis over Danzig
Both Italians and Hungarians in
Rome kept the utmost secrecy on
the nature of the talks which Count
Csaky, Hungarian foreign minister,
had with Premier Mussolini and
Foreign Minister Count Ciano, fol-
lowing his arrival by airplane Fri
day from Germany.
Fascist newspapers, however, de-
scribed as "fallacies" reports abroad
that Csaky came to Rome to seek
Mussolini's help against German
demands for Hungary's aid in case
of war
Csaky in Northern Italy.
1t was generally believed however,
that the Hungarian and the Ital-
ians discussed what might be ex-
pected of Hungary by Rome and
Berlin, with which Budapest is
allied in the anti-Comintern pact.
Count Csaky went to northern
Italy to stay until Monday, when
he expected to have instructions
from his government on his dis
cussions with Mussolini.
Count Ciano went to Albania tn
inspect and dedicate public works
over the week end He, too. in
tended to return to Rome Monday.
Authoritative Italians indicated
That the CSaky conference, Musso-
llnls consultations with army lead
ers on military questions and other
Italian activities were intended to
show Italy's readiness for war, how
ever much the country wished to
avoid it,

The authoritative editor, Virginio
Gayda, wrote in II Giornale DTtalia
that ITALY intends to be ready to
face any event."

Ciano, MuSsolini's scn-in-law, was
appraised by telegram from King
Victor Emmanuel that he had been
decorated with the order of the
Holy Annunziata, which makes him
an honorary cousin of the King.
Fascist authorities said that the
award to Ciano was largely in rec

Disruption Feared
From British Stand
Rejection Of japanese

TOXIC, Aug. 19.-The Japanese
British conference on the Tientsin
dispute entered another critical
stage with renewed predictions Of its
complete disruption tonight follow.
ing Britain's rejection Of Toxic de-
mands that economic questions be
included in the discussions.
Observers believed the British ac-
ton, announced yesterday in Lon.
don, followed United States and
French assurances that they were
prepared to insist on their interest
in economic questions affecting
China.
In rejecting the Japanese demand,
an informed London official ex-
planned the British view was that
economic questions were not purely
local issues and that If there were
to be further discussions in Toxic
arrangements must be made to take
into account the views of other" in
terested powers.
Actually London merely reiterated
contentious British Ambassador Sir
Robert Leslie Craigie had advanced,
but the Japanese heretofore eW-
IDENTIFY expected the long awaited
British statement to include some
loophole whereby the parley might
be resumed
In view of the positive stand
taken now by both sides, observers
were unable to foresee resumption
OF the talks without considerable
loss of face by one of the powers.

dispute for two hours today.
