japanese Hint Move
To Cut Off American
Supplies 10 China
Press Sees Possibility
Of Overland Expedition
To Check Burma Flow

(See Also Story on Page A-14.)
BY the Associated Press
TOXIC. Nov. 6-The Japan Times
and Advertiser, organ Of the Foreign
Office. hinted strongly tonight that
Japan's next military move might be
an overland expedition to cut off
the Burma road and force the
United States to stem its flow OF
supplies to China.
Cutting the Burma route, it assert
ed, might force America to abandon
what is tantamount to direct military
operations against Japan at the ex-
pense of the American people
The Times and Advertiser said
there is always the possibility. even
the probability, of direct march on
the Burma road and even limited
by what route the attack might be
made-via French Indo-C China, now
under Japanese domination.
In an editorial streSsing the
strength of Japan's central posi-
tion" in the oriental trouble zone,
the paper said this country is able
to move in a number of directions,
which requires its potential enemies
to be prepared at many places. dis
tributing and decentralizing their
strength"
This hint was dropped as the
Japanese press appraised the trip of
Saburo Kurusu to the United States
as Japan's final diplomatic effort to
improve Pacific relations by remov-
ing a deadlock in conferences at
Washington.
There is every hope that force
will not be necessary" the Times
and Advertiser said. adding: But
Japan is prepared for any eventuai-
ties"
Step Seen Solving Problem.
If Japan undertook Burma cam
paign, the newspaper said, Amer
ica's choice between letting Chung
king down or keeping Chungking up
would be solved automatically. for
it could not assist Chang Kai-shek's
party If the sole remaining major
avenue of supply were cut"
The newspaper salo traffic over
the Burma supply route already had
been hampered by air raids, but de-
clared "the permanent solution
would be japanese occupation of
the road"
Perhaps it would be appreciated
by peace groups in the United
States" the Times and Advertiser
said. IF Japan were to block the
Burma road, putting an end to
American large-scale Intervention
in China. Chungking then could not
blame the United States for aban-
donment Of lease-lend aid so far as
the Chang party is concerned"
OF Kurusu's trip to the United
States the Times and Advertiser
said, This is the last opportunity
(for the United States to make
amends for aggression and restore
the occasion for an: amicable settle
ment."
Kurusu, 55-year old diplomat,
who holds ambassadorial rank with
out being accredited to any particu-
lar nation, rested overnight at Ia

ney from Toxic.

Crown for Michigan,
Marks for Indiana

Wolverines Pack FinuIs
As Hoosiers Display
Individual Worth
Rv the Associated Press.

BY tne ASSOCIATED fteSS,
MINNEAPOLIS, MINI. May IL
Michigan drove toward its fifth
straight Big Ten outdoor track
championship today, but it was a
scrappy band of Hoosiers from
Indiana who packed the kind of
punch that knocks new entries into
the record book.
The preliminary program yeSter-
day at MinneSota's Memorial Sta
dium. which saw Michigan spread
eagle the field by gaining 10 qualify
ing places. left little doubt that the
Wolverines would add another team
title to their long string by night
fall But it was Indiana's valiant
band of individual stars which was
expected to produce a major share
of the thrills.
It was a Hoosier who came up
with a brightest individual job in
the qualifying program. Big Archie
Harris, 210-pound Negro youth from
Ocean City, N. j., set an American
and Western Conference discus
mark by tossing the platter 174
feet, l inch, only an inch and a
half short of the world mark. The
former American record was l73
feet, set by Ken Carpenter OF
Southern California in 1886. Harris
set the old Big Ten mark of 1855
feet, 5a inches last summer.
In sharp contrast to yesterdays
rather mediocre track times was
the prospect for several potentially
record smashing battles in the finals.
The mile run loomed as crowd
raiser, with defending champion
Campbell Kane of Indiana rated
a chance Of setting new meet
mark.
Kane was a figure in another
feature, the half-mile run in which
he was slated to battle it out with
Michigan's Warren Bridenbach.
There also was chance that
Harris might go on to world honors
in the discus. He will try to erase
Willie Schroeder's world mark of
174 feet, 21a inches which the Ger
man made in 1885. Harris had
remarkably consistent heaves of
more than ITO feet yesterday.
Qualifying places were distributed
as follows: Michigan. l9; Ohio
State, II; Wisconsin, 10; Indiana,
8; Illinois. 7; Minnesota and North

nous with the best in football and

twang today as the Hoyas willingly
shook the dust of the big town from
their brogans and headed home
after disastrous northern baseball
trip.
A 17-s victory over an inept New
York University nine yesterday
saved the trip from being complete
washout. but defeats at the hands
of Fordham and Yale more than
offset it. Georgetown simply didn't
look or act the part of potential
Eastern champion, as it had been
labeled, but rather proved to be
merely another average team.
Shortstop Hank Mlynarski paced
yesterdays 17-hit attack on five
Violet pitchers, driving in six runs
with single, double and home run.
Vince Powers started for the
Hoyas, but retired after two score
less innings with sore arm. Dick
Dieckelman, who lost a six-hit game
to Fordham, finished the fray.
