naires arrived from headquarters
of the American Medical Association

AS announced Saturday by DR..

mittee on Medical Resources Of the

ering the information.

volunteer in case of war, the type
OF practice in which they are en-
gagged, and whether they speak any
foreign language. Other informa-
ton regarding their medical edu-
cation also is sought.

CHICAGO, July 1.-THE Vir-
ginla delegation to the Democratic
National Convention planned to
hold caucus today, but the men,
bers awaited a conference with Sen
ator Glass, who arrived by train
from Washington with his bride
The 82-year -old Senator said he
would nominate Postmaster Gen
eral Farley for the presidency, prob
ably tonight. He said it would be "a
brief and specific nomination"
The boom launched by a group
headed by Major S. Heth Tyler OF
Norfolk, to give the big Virginia vote
to Glass on the first ballot appar-
emily was collapsing as the delegates
felt there would be a bigger COM
pliment in vote for Farley if he
were nominated by the Senator.
The delegates apparently agreed
to lift the unit rule so that individual
members may vote as they desire
A number of anti-third termers said
that they had no desire to prevent
any one who wanted to vote for
President Roosevelt from doing so.
Gov. Price marched in the Roose-
velt demonstrations last night-be-
tween the Florida and North Caro-
lima delegations-as most of the Vir-
ginians kept their seats or stood to
witness the tumult. During the
demonstration they heard someone
yell Virginia wants ROOSEVELT" and

Communist Doctrine
Raped as Subtle
Trap for Negro
Howard u. Conference
Hears Dr.. R. }. Bunche
On Needs Of Youth

leading and a subtle trap for the

the shifting opportunism of the
Soviet Union, DR.. Ralph J. Bunche
of Howard University last night told
some l60 persons attending the
summer school conference on
Needs Of Negro Youth"

lass Hall at which Charles S. john
son OF Fisk University and E. Frank

sultant of the American Youth
Commission. who reported on the
case studies of 4l9 c. c. C. enrollees,
86 Of whom were colored. Saying
she was speaking for herself and
not for the commission, DR.. Cavan
made the following recommends
tionS:
l. Better selection of officers for
the Negro camps.
2. Correlation of the camp work
OF enrollees with their after-camp
endeavour.
3. Establishment of camps for
illiterates.
4. c. c. c. should not be a CATCH

By the Associated Press.
OTTAWA, Ontario. July IT,
Special permission from Washing
ton, in addition to a passport, is re-
quired from every Canadian news
paperman entering the United
States, an official of the external
affairs department said yesterday.
State Department officials said
that authorization from Washing
ton is required for the issuance of
visitors visas to foreign newspa-
permen wishing to enter the United
States from any part of the world.
In the case of ordinary visitors
the consular officials in Canada can
issue visas without any special per-
mission from Washington.
Passport and visa regulations did
not apply to Canadians until July /,
when rev rules went into effect as
part of general drive to prevent
possibly undesirable aliens from slip
ping across the border.
1t was emphasized that there is no
discrimination against Canadian

then chatted with reporters about
the first convention he saw-the
1912 Republican meeting in this
same city. Mr.. Hopkins, then 81
crashed the gate by posing as q
Senator's secretary and sat at the
feet of Teddy Roosevelt before the
latter walked out to form the Bull
Moose party.
The anecdote finished, Secretary
Hopkins stalked silently into a pri-
vate room when Secretary Wallace
arrived. They went alone together
while Senator Barkley made the
Presidents announcement.
Then Secretary Wallace appeared
once more, to predict that Mr..
Roosevelt would be nominated to-
night and would accept.
The telephone began to ring.
"Yes, Governor, I'll put him on" an
aide sang out. The third term

Blockade Distinguished
From Burma Road Case

Secretary of State Hull said today
there was no such basis for con-
demning the British blockade of
Germany as for opposing the British
agreement with Japan to close the
Burma road into China to war
materiels.
Nations that have formally pro-
claimed their belligerency have a
right under international law to
intercept commerce on the high
seas under limitations of contraband
rules in ordef to prevent contraband
goods from reaching the enemy,
Mr.. Hull said.
In the case of a privately owned
highway running through nations
not at war an entirely different rule
lis applicable, he added. In any
event, Japan is regarded as having
none of the rights of belligerent
under international law because
there has been no formal declara-
tion of war in the Sino-Japanese
conflict.
