U. S. CITIZENS FLEE CHINESE * BATTLE ZONE Clash of Nationalists and Japanese Stirs Grave Concern. Bn United Press WASHINGTON, May 4.—Evacuation of all Americans remaining in the region about Tsinan, China, scene of 'a serious clash between Nationalist and Japanese traps, is being expedited, Secretary of State Kellogg said today.The military situation in the neighborhood of Tsinan was described by Kellogg as “rather menacing.” * He said the State Department did not know how many Americans still were in the section, but added that “we are getting them out as fast as we can.’ Movement of 5,000 Japanese troops into the heart of the Chinese war arena to protect Japanese citizens is being watched “with peculiar interest” by American officials, a reliable quarter here declared today. While the United States will continue neutral with respect both to the Chinese civil warfare and to the movement of Japanese soldiers, unless American lives or property are endangered, some fear was expressed over the consequences of clashes between the Japanese and Nationalist forces. The Nationalists refused to comply with Tokio’s demand that service on the Japenese-controlled TsinanTsingtao railway be uninterrupted. Approximately 12,000 Japanese live along the railway, while a few coal | mines and small factories in thej section are Japanese-owned. The Japenese may be expected to take stern measures to protect their people. Relation of such action would have to America’s “open | door” policy would be a matter of j some concern to this Government, j it was said.

Blindfolded . .in scientific test of leading Cigarettes, Mrs. Emily Post sete q ld Gold

“Personally, I have never acquired a taste for f I tobacco. For most cigarettes seem to burn my tongue and sting my throat. The only time I ever smoke, therefore, is in courtesy to someone coming to my house, who would lay her accus- • tomed cigarette aside unless I at least lit one, too. “It seemed absurd, at first, that I should be chosen to att’empt this blindfold test . . . except that never having become a smoker, my taste is extremely sensitive to the burning harshness of the average cigarette. “But I was very much surprised to find that I had chosen OLD GOLD as being perceptibly smooth, stingless and pleasant to taste. In fact, I now quite easily understand why the OLDGOLD compartment in my general cigarette box must be so constantly refilled.”

Long Hair Proves More Popidar With , DePauw Co-eds, College Check Shows

I 'Bobs’ in Minority, 3 to 2, on Campus at Greencastle. j Short hair is fast becoming un- | popular on the campus of De Pauw | University. “It’s too much trouble,” the co-eds claim, and a great number of them are counting the days until they can once more “do up” their shorn locks. Those who have clung to long tresses are smiling wisely for they are ready to meet the new trend in coifure. Others, however, are clinging just as spiritedly to their bobs. “It’s a matter of personality,” they assert. “Some of us would look terrible with long hair, just as some of us now look terrible with short.” There are a great many go-be-tweens, those who are on the verge of letting their hair grow, but can still make their tweive-inch locks into the semblance of a bob. A rear view of these “hopefuls” displays a tiny knot of wispy hair with hair puis looking rather self conscious. A census of the leading sororities of the campus shows that the longs outnumber the short about three to two. The mannish bob has preference over other kinds among the shorts, and those whose hair has j been growing for a year usually wear it tucked behind their ears I a la Greta Garbo. The favorite style | among the long-haired co-eds is the I simple Spanish coiffure with part j and loose knot, but the flattering I Psyche roll is seen frequently on the 1 nape of the co-ed neck.

TAX CUT BILL FIGHTRENEWED Three Movements on Foot for Amendment. B,n United Press WASHINGTON, May 4.—Three movements to amend the $203,000000 tax reduction bill approved by the administration, got under way today in the Senate. The Democratic minority, led by Senator Simmons of North Carolina, prepared to fight for an 11% per cent corporation tax. The bill now calls for a 12% per cent levy, 1 per cent lower than the prevailing 13%.Senator McMaster, Representative, South Dakota, proposed to introduce another amendment intended to give agriculture additional tariff protection. He enlisted the support of independent Republicans and a few Democrats. Eastern Republicans championed a third amendment by Senator Bingham, Representative, Connecticut, for repeal of the estate tax. Simmons was admittedly pessimistic about the possibility of further reducing the corporation tax. Leaders expect to dispose of the tax reduction measure early next week and resume th Boulder Dam debate. | HOLD 5 FOR GAMBLING Five men were arrested by police Thursday night to answer charges of gambling, j Earl Sears, 39, of 206 Indiana Ave., was slated for keeping a gaming house.
