 The prime minister referred to the possibility of differences between the Tokio government leaders and the military leaders at Tientsin in charge of the blockade of the British concession.
 Britain had asked the Japanese government whether the attitude of local commanders at Tientsin repre- scented q general policy in China, Chamberlain said that although fewer British subjects were now in the Chinese areas T regret to say that further indignities have been inflicted"
 Japan Is Told
 Foreign Secretary Viseount Hali- fax, he said, had spoken in the strongest terms" to Japanese gov- ernment representatives and Craigie had taken up the matter in the Japanese capltai.
 As Chamberlain spoke dispatches from Tientsin told of still another incident in which Ivor E. House, a Briton, was stripped and searched for the second time by Japanese sol- diers.
 A dispatch from Hong Kong also reported departure from Weihaiwei of the British warship Duncan for Chefoo, where British consular of- offlcials had asked for protection due to the threatening political sit- uation."
 Chamberlain, in discussing the Tientsin situation, replied to several questions in general terms.
 General Status Unchanged
 'The general situation is un- changed" he said. 'The arrivals of perishable foodstufYs continue spas medically. The arrivals are only ten to 20 per cent normal"
 He explained that his hopes for . settlement were based on the diplomatic conversations to Tokio and not on local developments ct Tientsin.
 The government was understood to be advising the Tokio cabinet in detail of the developments at Tient- sin where Britons have charged they were humiliated by Japanese or their Chinese agents. According to some London sources. full accounts of the incidents had not been sent to Tokio by the Japanese represen- tatiyes at Tientsin.

WHAT JAPAN SAYS

Tientsln, June 26.--(uP)--Japan, assuming the diplomatic offensive, asserted today that Britons were ex- aggerating indignities to Britons in the blockade of the British conces- sion and said that responsibility for the Consequences lay with Great Britain.
 The statement was made in 6 formal protest by shigenori Tashiro, Japanese consul general, to British Consul General Edgar c. Jamieson.
 Tashiro said that not only were Britons exaggeratipg incidents here but were assuming an arrogant" att titude purposely to cause trouble.
 He mentioned specifically as one "exageerated, distorted and tabri. cated" incident the statement about dence. an expensive car and chauf- fauy.

Cancer Patients Put on Ice,
Hibernate at Body Heat of 80
Exhibition Of New Medical deu
Arouses Wide interest az Convention
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ST. LOUIS, May 18.-Like wildfire
a new medical idea, human hiber-
nation is spreading among the thou
sands of doctors here for the annual
meeting OF the American Medical
Association.
They want to try it on heart dis
ease, insanity, tuberculosis and ills
representing the whole gamut from
degenerative to infectious diseases.
All week they have been standing
three deep, on tiptoe, in little rings
around motion picture in a small
scientific exhibition booth seeing
something that never before was
done to human beings.
The pictures show women, naked
except for a loin cloth, being put
to sleep" like alternating bears, by
refrigeration. The Information ex-
hibit is by Drs. Temple S. Fay and
Lawrence w. Smith of Philadelphia.
The women are stripped and COW
cred with cracked ice like frozen
fish. An electric fan is turned on.
In three hours their internal tenn
peratures are forced down below 90,
usually to a rectal temperature of 80.
They literally 60 to sleep. The
sleep is like the droWsiness that
overcomes a freezing person, except
these patients report none of the
agonizing pains preceding freezing.
Usually pleasant droWsiness steals
over them.
The room is kept cold so that
when the ice is removed they stay
cool like bear in his winter cave.
They are kept thus for five days.
At the end they are awakened by
hot coffee, or warm applications.
They arouse smiling, as if from
sleep, and with no memory of what
has happened, different from COM
pletely dreamless sleep.
How much longer they could hi
bernate has not been tried. AS
many as 40 days of this sleep have
been given in intermittent stretches
covering several months, all with no
bad effects, but with good effects on
hopeless cancer from which they
all suffered.
Pulse Beat Disappears.
However, it is not the cancer
which amazes the doctors. Some
thing else is evident which looks
possibly like a great medical dis
covery.
The pulse beat disappears. Only
the electrocardiograph shows the
heart is still beating and that,
amazingly, shows it is doing a per-
feet, even though a very easy
rhythm.

Polish 0yertures
Made 10 Reich for
Better Relations
Official Paper Expresses
Hope Present Strain
Is Only Temporary
BY the Associated Press

WARSAW, May 18-The official
newspaper Gazeta Polska today ex-
pressed the hope that the present
strained relations between Poland
and Germany would be "a tenn
porary thing"
"A reasonable settlement of Pol
ishGerman relations should not
be impossible" the newspaper said
in lengthy article which replied
to recent writings of German
Propaganda Minister Paul Joseph
Goebbels in the Voelkischer Beo-
bachter
Gesture Of Good Will.
Observers regarded the contents
and tone Of the article as a definite
gesture of good will and an invita-
ton TO better understanding be-
tween the two countries. 1t said:
1--WE repeat the words of Goeb-
bells that the atmosphere between
Berlin and Warsaw is not good. But
is it going to remain so permanent
ly? Because it is often repeated in
Germany that military conflicts in
Europe do not profit any one be-
cause even victory costs too much,
poor relations between Poland and
Germany should be a temporary
thing. -
The articles of Goebbels seemed
to indicate that such a point of view
also is recognized on the other side
of the frontier.
Should new arrangement be
concluded it must take into con-
slderatlon the interests of both sides
since only such a solution will be
permanent and not cause unrest
which may become more dangerous
than that of the present moment"
Goebbels' Opinion Welcomed.
The official publication said it was
greatly interested in Goebbels' opin-
ion because he is 80 well known
in Poland" It pointed out that the
propaganda minister was the first
member of the Nazi cabinet to visit
Warsaw and that he was the first
German official with whom Polish
Foreign Minister Col. Joseph Beck
first established the contact in Ge-
neva in 1898 which resulted the fol-
lowing year in the German-Polish
on-aggression pact.
Chancellor Hitler denounced that
pact In his Reichstag speech April %.

Navy Is Ordered
To Report Promptly
Newsworthy Events
Order of Admr. Bloch
ReIoaes Secrecy
To Some Extent

Relaxing to some extent the Sc
crecy which has been placed around
naval activities of all kinds, Ad-
miral Claude C. Bloch, commander
in chief of the United States Fleet,
has called on all ships and shore
stations to make public promptly
events of "newsworthy nature, u
regardless of whether they are IA
vorable or unfavorable in character
Crashes and losses of men at sea
were specifically enumerated as
matters to be included in the reports
Admiral Bloch directed that all
events considered of news impor-
tance be reported without delay to
senior officers assigned to deal di-
rectly with representatives of the
press.
Foreign navies almost invariably
undertake to suppress information,
particularly that dealing with ac-
cidents or events rejecting in any
way on the military establishments,
it was pointed out.
The order was issued, Navy off,
GERS explained, because in the past
officers often have been unwilling
to assume responsibility for giving
out information concerning naval
matters.
Admiral Bloch's order, however,
involves no relaxing of safeguards
placed around confidential informa-
ton. The Navy Department made
no official explanation of the order
Widespread public interest in the
recent Fleet Problem Xxx in the
Caribbean and in the visit of naval
vessels to New York and other ports
has been among the factors re-
sponsible for issuance of the order,
however, it was indicated.
Naval representatives reported to
the Senate Appropriations Commit
tee yesterday that work on virtually
all of the 73 vessels now under con-
struction is proceeding on time or
ahead of schedules. There are a
few cases Of delays, due to various
causes, the only serious one being
in the case of new 14,50O-t ton air
craft carrier, said to be more than
l6 months behind schedule. The
reason was not announced.

Disciples Of Christ
Hear Plea for More
Evangelistic Passion
ESQ Delegates From
10 States Meet at Ninth
Street Christian Church

Declaring that "the cross is. not
central in the lives of Christian
men and women because they lack
vital, daring faith" DR.. Carroll C.
Roberts today told the second Joint
convention of the Disciples of Christ
of the Chesapeake area that he was
pleading for restoration of evan
gellStlc passion in the church.
DR.. Roberts, pastor of the Han
over Avenue Christian Church at
Richmond, Va, delivered the prin-
cipal sermon on the morning pro-
gram as more than $50 delegates
from 10 States started the second
day of the three-day parley at the
Ninth Street Christian Church.
There are two types of witnesses
at every trial, civic or religious"
DR.. Roberts said, those in the gal
lery who are witnesses of the trial
and those called to the stand who
are witnesses at the trial. The weak
ness Of the modern church is that
we have too few witnesses on the
stand and too many in the gallery.
We need in our daily life to follow
the examples set by the disciples
who are witnesses at the trial and
not merely of it."
Church Work Stressed.
DR.. Raymond N. Redford, pastor
of the Belmont Avenue Christian
Church at Roanoke, Va, spoke on

life in regard to the workings Of

stressed duties of elders and dea-
cons, scriptural officers of the
church.
ITO keep people interested in
church unity and effort we must
give them something to do-some
active role to take in the work" DR..
Redford said.

and included, in addition to the ad-
dresses. conference periods on mis-
Sionary organization. Bible schools
and laymen. The Rev. Robert A.

Reasonable Settlement
Only Desire, Say Nozis

BERLIN. May 18 (P.-The state
ment in the official Polish news
paper Gazeta Polska that "a rea-
sonable settlement of Polish-Ger-
man relations should not be i'm
possible" was we'll received today in

"A reasonable settlement" was all
Germany ever desired, propaganda

This might be the turning point
in relations with Poland and if it
does indeed develop that it is a
change for the better no one will
be more pleased than Germany"
Officials observed, however, there
must be definite evidence of a
change of heart on Poland's part.
