‘The scientists followed L. J. Taber, master of the National Grange; MW. W. Schoemaker, chairman of the N. A. M’s Committee on Agricultural Co-operation; Malcolm Muir, president of News-Week, Inc. and “other speakers who urged that businessmen and farmers “meet orn common ground” and that Government encourage rather than restrict private initiative.
«Discussing technological unemployment. often blamed on the maShine, Dr . Compton said “there is real danger that emotional and Coa reaction to those in-stances-in which men have temporarily lost employment may lead to legislation or restrictions or to lack ‘of public sympathy with scientific ‘work which will inhibit the greater Service of science in the creation of Jew employment ” Js _ “This would be a major disaster,” he said. “It is no protection tb the ‘working n to pass legislation which will insure him his job for the | present, but which will make

Millikan said that the theory that machines -caused unemploy‘ment was “an utter fallacy” accept‘ed by men “who cannot see ahead ‘of their noses.” . |Asserting that the only way ta raise the living standards was “to ‘create more goods and services,” Dr. Millikan attacked “all these schemes “of redistributing income” as “merely modern variants of the age-old game of stealing what someone else ‘has produced, of getting an advantage for your group. at the expense of some other group.” . He said, “what we call ‘American opportunity’ ” was created by “the greater rewards offered.here for su~perior accomplishment. Every movement toward equalitarianism or so‘cialism or totalitarianism and away from freedom tends to destroy this “stimulus- to productivity, efficiency and individual dévelopment.” . Instead of curtailing: production redistributing income, Dr. MilliHo said, “the method of science i “fo create more income.”

told. the association. “Industry and Government -can-
not be enemies,” he said. Manage- :
ment and labor cannot be enemies. In our system of life co-operation, friendly co-operation is essential if
the machine of production and dis- |} tribution is to function efficiently |}
and beneficially to the whole of society.” Mr. Sokolsky told the manufacturers: that their “constructive proposals,” many of them made as early as 1934, eneficial to- the American people ba they been adopted.” ' Industry, he said, was opposed to “artificial restraints which curtail volume and increase costs, whether they be of material or labor,” and was for a balanced budget and repeal of the excess profits and capital stock taxes. ; Mr. Sokolsky blamed the Wagner Act for doing “infinite harm” to industry, for “coercions and intimidations” and for creating “two monsters in’ American life—discontent and fear.” As the congress convened on the second day of its three-day convention, L. J. Taber, National Grange master, extended the greetings of “organized agriculture,” and declared: “I challenge the businessmen of America to meet the farmer on the common ground of building a more permanent and satisfying civilization, and perpetuating the institutions of freedom and democracy to the end that a more abundant life may be within the reach of every man, woman and child.”
Makes Proposals to Congress
W. W. Shoemaker, chairman of the association’s committee on Ag-
ricultural co-operation, replied by |.
recommending to: the congress that Ihe fullest effort be made to see at:
“1. Those compensated in wages and salaries should receive pay commensurate with their contribution to the national income, and “2. Standards of living of all groups, particularly the low-income groups, shall be constantly advanced by efforts toward greater achievement, greater production and increased volume of buying and selling. Nether farm nor factory can truly prosper under a policy based on scarcity and lower standards of living.” Mr. Shoemaker, Armour & Co. vice president, said that a two-year study by his committee “proved beyond doubt” ‘that the interests of agriculture and industry “are parallel and indivisibly linked together,” and that “no manufacturer can afford to be ill informed on a subject that bears such a vital relationship fo his own business.”

staff . correspondent in Nanking, reported that the Chinese retreat into the city through the east gate was orderly, indicating that they
would make a despefate final stand.’
It was thought possible that the Japanese advance from the east had been slowed up purposely pending capture of Wuhu, about 60 miles to the southwest, which seemed imminent. Japanese sources hinted that the final attack was being delayed in the belief that the Chinese would retreat in disorder. They asserted that thousands of Chinese troops were crossing the river to the west, blowing up munitions dumps on the way. This, they said, indicatea that the Chinese would - not defend: the capital. Meanwhile, the Japanese were bringing up supplies and strength-

Russia, With Backing, Might Aid China
By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Times Foreign Editor WASHINGTON, ‘Dec. 8.—Thereis reason to believe that Soviet Russia might intervene on the side of China against Japan if she could obtain satisfactory’ pledges of help from Great Britain, France and the United States.
Russia would demand: First—Guarantee = from Britain and France against being attacked by Germany or other powers in Euope while she is engaged in the Far ast. Second—Financial and other assistance from all three democracies. The plight of China is known to be causing increasing anxiety in Moscow. : Japanese losses have not been tremendous up to the present. Should China collapse following the fall of Nanking, Russia’s position in the Orient might become perilous in the extreme.
Treasured by Japan
Japan is maintaining the bulk of her forces in Manchukue and Korea, all on a war footing. Strategically, her position there is excellent. It is not unlike the German salient on the Western Front during the World War. Railroads and highways branch out from it in the direction of the Soviet frontiers like spokes from a hub. Should China’s armies be put out of commission by the surrender of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek; the Japanese, if they are so minded, would be able immediately to turn on Russia. This at least some of Japan’s military leaders desire. It is of the utmost importance to
Help Us! Thossnd: of Jobless Plead in Census LetterstoF. D. R.

(Cobyright, 1937, Washington Daily News) WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.—Neatly typed on letterheads, scrawled on

Spencerian script and in the firm, of the nation’s underprivileged are

to 19. An irrepressible urge to pour out their woes to someone has inspired more - than 10, of the country’s jobless to expand the 14 simple queries on the census questionnaire into letter form. Most of them are addressed to the President; the rest to Mrs. Roosevelt and John D. ‘Biggers, special census administrator. All of them find their way to the Census Office, where the impossibility of aiding individual cases dictates an inevitably hopeless reply. Only 150 Today Today was a dull day—only 150 letters were received. But they may
serve as a sample.
Perhaps the best way to describe them is to cite the experience of a man whose job it is to answer part
of them. On his first day: at the
task he left his desk and went home
violently ill. He doesn’t rAilush to ads
mit it. Some of the notes are sheer Horror, some picayunish in their complaints, some despairing, some courageous, some even absurd. But in all runs the undertone of tragedy. A woman wrote to the President: «I am writing you personally for work. T have been down to the relief lady and cannot get on the sewing room. If I could have had work two rhonths ago my darling baby would never have been taken from me. She is too small to be away

Russia, therefore, the China remain in the war. And whether she does so or not depends largely on the nature of the help she receives from abroad. Only one power, however, seems even partially in a position to go to China's assistance. That power is Russia. Britain and France are too much occupied with the problems of Europe to risk intervention on the other side of the world, and the United States is not of a mind to. Russia, however, is not only on the spot but has vital and immediate interests at stake.
U. S. State Department
Expects More Trouble
WASHINGTON, Dec. 8 (U. P)— State Department officials expect ed today that relations between the United States and Japan will become more strained as a result of Japan’s expected ‘capture of Nanking.
Most officials believe that after|
the occupation or.’ destruction of the Chinese Nationalist Government’s model Government buildings in the northern capital, the Japanese forces will put out feelers for a cessation of hostilities, with Japan negotiating as the conqueror. Confidential reports from American officials in China long have stated that this would be the Japanese program.

Week-End Accident Rate High, Stiver Says
| State - Safety Director Donald F. Stiver, after a study of traffic accidents reports for the last four months, said today that half of them occur on week-ends and 43 per cent at night. i Crowded traffic seems to be the answer to the week-end record, he said, and most drivers seem to drive faster than they can see at night. He pointed out that motorists should take into consideration that at night their vision is limited and they should drive more slowly than in the daytime.

DALHOVER LED
AL BRADY GANG
“3 < \ Ia Officer Says Schaffer Was ‘Under Dominance of «+ Partner.
(Continued from Page One)
Shaffer was the driver or “wheelman” while he and Brady were the actual robbers in the gang raids. The G-Man’s testimony was ine troduced by the prosecution to sup=port its contention that Dalhover fired the actual shots that kill Officer Minneman in a Cross-ro ambush last May 25. | «Dalhover told me he was a machine gun expert,” Officer Gurnea said. “He told me he handled repairs on the guns and tested new weapons on trees and rocks.” »
Shows Machine Gun
At this point District Attorney Jo R. Fleming pulled & small machine gun from a gun-laden court room table and showed, it to Officer Gurnea, asking if that was the type of weapon Dalhover hdd described. Dalhover, sitting a few feet away, fidgeted and ‘whispered with his ate Jorney while’ the gun was being ift="
ted. “Dalhover told me in Indianapolis that he was very skillful in prace : tice with the weapons at ranges from 100 to 200 yards,” Officer Gute nea testified. As Fleming held up the weapon for inspection, Jucige Slick left his bench chair and walked over be= hind the witness chair to peer ab. the gun, the witness and the jury. “Who made decision regarding activities of the gang?” Mr. Fleming asked Officer Gurnea. “Dalhover said they voted.” Widow Takes Stand
Officer Gurnea then explained that Dalhover told him that while the gang was living in Baltimore he was in constant contact with Schaffer, “which enabled me to sway his
vote in any decision.”
Mrs. Margaret Minneman, reds eyed widow of the slain policeman, followed Officer Gurnea to the witness stand. Sobbing, she described briefly the deathbed scene two days after her husband was shot. . . Asked what was the condition of her husband when she arrived at St. Joseph's Hospital in Logansport, Mrs. Minneman sobbed: “He was dying. He said the Brady gang got him. He told me that after he ‘was shot and lying in the road a man came over and shot him again. Then he kicked him several times.” Mrs. Minneman was on the stand less than two minutes. She was dressed almost entirely in black, Her answers to questions by Mr.
Fleming were almost inaudible. She
wept continually. Dalhover looked steadily at Mrs. Minneman without any show of emotion during her brief appear= ance. She did not once glance at the gangster. Earlier under cross-examination Officer Gurnea said Dalhover told him that the practice of the gang in voting on every proposal was ine itiated after the gangsters escaped from the Greenfield Jail, Oct. 11, 1936. Prior to that time, Dalhover was quoted as saying, Brady was the actual as well as the nominal gang leader. Lee R. Miles, Indiana State policeman, testified that Dalhover told him in Indianapolis that he took Officer Minneman’s gun and belt after the gun battle at Caleys
