9 Z229 UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN The Official Student Paper of the University of Kansas VOLUME XXXV U.S. Sends Third Protest To Japan Washington Asks Full Repauses From Japan In Bombing of American Gunboat Washington, Dec. 14—(UP)—The United States today sent a formal not to Japan over the bombing of the gunboat Panay, demanding full apologies, reparations, and the immediate assurance that the Tokyo government will end further complete disregard of American rights and American lives and property in China. Simultaneously, dispatches from Tokyo reported that the Japanese foreign minister had presented a proposal to the ambassador of the American Ambassador Joseph C. Grew. The Japanese apology profusely promised reparations, agreed to punish the aviator responsible for the tragedy, and promised to safeguard against recurrence of such an attack. The note, however, did not say whether the Japanese government had carried out or intended to carry out the requests handed to the Japan The President's requests aroused anxiety in Tokyo and deep interest here. Under the Japanese system the emperor is the supreme ruler of all Nipponese. In directing his dictation toward the emperor, the president has to achieve quick action on the part of the Japanese military and naval high command. The fact that President Roosevelt dictated the to the Japanese emperor enhanced reports that the chief executive would not be satisfied with the usual apologies that have come from Japan. Secretary Cordell Hail called at the White House today to acquaint Roosevelt with the latest developments, which present the greatest challenge. A American-Japanese relations in more than three-quarters of a century.

Stockton of the School of Business, addressed the members of the Student Correspondents' Bureau at their meeting yesterday, telling of the work of different bureau officials officially connected with the state. "A tremendous amount of public work is carried on by scientific researches," asserted Mr. Stockton. "The first bureau to be established here was the state geologic survey in 1895. Headquarters for the division of sanitation are in Marvin hall; the state department of entomology is located here and inspect every nursery in the state and all grain shipments into the state" he said. Other state departments found on the Campus are the food analysis laboratory, drug analysis laboratory, and many other singular organ- Many members of the faculty hold positions on important state examination and research boards. Chancellor E. H. Lindley is the official seler of weights and measures for the university, and the department of sociology have done a great deal to help solve unemployment problems. The state blue sky commissioner for the past six years has been a member of the faculty on leave, Leslie Tuppe, of the University Business, continued Dean Beckton. An example of public service done by the University which has gained recent prominence is the legislative council. Prof. F. H. Guild of the political party in Chicago recently been invited to organize a similar bureau in Illinois. C. H. Mullen, c'39, president of the Correspondents Bureau, Prof. W. A. Dill of the Journalism department, alumni exami- tation, spoke briefly. Contract for the new addition to the power plant at the University of Kansas hospital at Kansas City was awarded yesterday to the Universal Construction company of Kansas City, Mo., for $33,333. Let Contract For New Addition Contract for equipment of the addition was awarded to the U. S. Engineering company of Kansas City Mo., for $2,000. An employer of non-union labor Thomas L. Dawson, Kansas City Mo., submitted the low bid of $32,000 for the construction work. Bids were given to construction companies employing union labor in order to avoid possible labor strife, according to Tom I. Nail, state architect, at Topcape. Since one project is already started on which union labor is employed, the contract was consequently awarded to the next highest bidder on the construction work. Tenny Frank, 98, who is considered by the Kansas City Star as the best authority on the history of the Roman Empire, according to reports from the Alumni office, has been invited to Oxford University for next year.

Remains Undefeated An Irishman, Nelson Sullivan, and another Eblong, Ding, heretofore reserves, were sent into the game last night, and they came out with a 39-29 victory over southwestern for Kansas six consecutive triumph of the season. Sullivan scored in field goals and 3 free throws, while Eblung did a nice job of feeding and scored 4 field goals on his own. As a whole the Jayhawkers played the best basketball of the season to defent the title favorites of the Central Conference, but still showed a lack of smoothness and finesse. Southwest also played early-season basketball, but the basket eye of Tucker, who scored 4 field goals and one free throw of Bilee and two mimes 3 baskets and 1 charity toss, kept the Mountboulders close to the Jayhawkers until late in the second half. The game started out with the lanky Briar registering a long shot from near the center to put the Builders off to an early lead. Golay drew a free throw, and then Prable made his only point of the game with a free throw to the left. His Braun and Hiskaw ran the Southwestern total to 9, while Golay and Harp made it 9 also for Kansas. Southwestern Starts Scoring Here Ebling and Sullivan took things over and put Kansas in the lead for the first time after 13 minutes of the game had elapsed. These two men ran the Jayhawk total to 16 before Southwestern counted again, with Briar and Tucker finally getting field goals. Schmidt then sank a shot a shot from out in the free throw ring, with a shot back for the Builders with a shot ended it to 18 to 15 as the first half ended. Sullivan Second Half Star The second half was largely a story of Sullivan, with this scrappy first-year man getting 12 of Kanaas points. Sullivan played a driving game, going in at full speed to most of his shots on setups. When he did not take the spectators gave him a good hand for his splendid work. Half-time entertainment plans failed to materialize when the janitors could not be found to erect the net for Jimmy Kell and Newt Hoverstock, who were to give a tennis exhibition. Another game will be played tonight, with the Morningside team of Sioux City, Iowa, coming to Law-White. The game will be played between the two schools.

Committee Will Consider Petition May Pass Compulsory Housing Inspection This Week: Recommended by M. S. C. The University health and housing committee will probably meet this week to consider the petition for compulsory housing inspection approved Monday night by the Men's Student Council, Dr. R. I Canutelson, chairman of the committee, said last night. In the petition, which will be reviewed by the housing committee and then returned to the Council, the M.S.C. also urged that a system of rating or scoring be established, and that the inspection fee of $1 be abolished. "In view of the fact that the Men's Student Council meets the first Monday after Christmas vacation," Dr. Canutean said, "it is quite probable that the committee will consider the petition this week." The housing committee had not yet been informed of the petition last night, and therefore, no meeting had been planned, he said. "We (the committee) have no authority to enforce compulsory inspection of rooming houses." Dr. Canuteen said. "Our only action would be to make recommendations o the Board of Regents." Cannot Enforce Inspection A campaign backed by student opinion can be as effective as a required inspection. he believes. While no immediate action can result from the Council's petition, it will provide an opportunity for an exchange of views between the housing committee and the M.S.C. Camteson stated. "As regards rating system, we hope that by the end of the year's program we will have some basis for grading rooming houses," he added. The committee has discussed the abortion of the inspection fee before." "I think the housing inspection is a very desirable program," Chancellor E. H. Lindley said in commenting upon the present University organization "It is practiced in practice and we need to ensure that standard and is of great benefit to both landlords and students who are seeking rooms." Second Tour Started The second inspection tour of approved houses was started last week by Wilbur Leonard, c'39, inspector of men's rooms, and a member of the M.S.C. committee which drafted the petition. The purpose of rechecking is to discover if landlords and students are complying with present housing regulations, and to investigate complaints, Leonard said. "When undesirable conditions are found," he stated, "the only recourse is to request improvement from either the landlady or the student." Complaints may be filed with either Henry Werner, men's student adviser, or Elizabeth Meguar, adviser to women, Leonard said, in urging students and landlords to report unsatisfactory conditions. "While emphasis at present is on light, heat, and adequate furniture, we will investigate any complaint of violations in approved houses," he said.

House Debates Wage-Hour Bill Washington, Dec. 14—(UP)—Six hours of general debate on the emailed hourly bills bill ended in the house today amid controversy over whether President Roosevelt approves the bill in its present form. The full impact of wide opposition to the bill will be felt tomorrow, when southern Democrats and Republicans are expected to begin their struggle to render it impotent through a flood of amendments. Congressmen who are demanding passage of the bill have agreed sufficient strength in the chamber at all times to throw back the attack. No word has come from the White House on the administration's attitude toward the house measure, which has been revised so often that it now bears only a ghostly resemblance to the senate-approved bill.
