Storms in which seven airplanes dawn appeared sending 15 persons to almos certain death cleared today to allow parties opportunity for extended search.

The toll included Jack Sharppear, United Air Lines pilot, crushed to death near Rio Vista, Calif., flying the airplane of eight persons who were aboard a Century Pacific air liner which vanished last Friday in a storm over the mountains in southern California. Only faint remains of finding them alive. Pilot Andrew Hobson has been missing since Monday on a flight from Miami to Bimini off the Florida coast. There was little hope they had survived on the storm tossed

Lieutenant Edward D. Hoffman, missing on a flight from Glendale, Calif. to San Francisco, is unreported since the plane crashed in Sequoia, a national parc. Occupants of a plane are reported to have been heard to crash at Soda Springs, Calif. An 18-year-old passenger jumped by a parachute
Investigating Clues
Two other missing aviators were located. Francis H. Rust, mail pilot was found seriously injured in his wrecked plane near Miechau, Mich. Gerald P. Burke and Michael Burke are haunted at an American landing field at Locomotive Springs, Utah.
Two clues which indicated the Century Pacific plane might be located today were investigated by rescue workers, and a team of more than 100 planes. Buzzards were sighted circling over Model Canyon at a point where trees appeared to be broken down. A search party was on the scene, but no damage was found if the plane had come down there.

Hunters at another mountain side reported a wide swath cut through the forest as though made by a plunging plane. This else also was to be imitated. A squaffle of army plum continued to lie for Lieutenant Hoffman.

County Attorneys Stress
Social Expenditures
of Fraternity
Houses
LIMITS ON WITNESSES
Fraternity' and sorority officials staged a parade across the witness stand today in the hearing of the Board of Trustees, tax controversy being held in the Douglas county district court room before Judge C. E. Vance, special commissioner for the District Court.
After presidents and treasurers of organizations were called to the stand during the morning, they were instructed to limit witnesses to only treasurers of the organizations in order that the hearing might be terminated. If a judge appointed attorneys and assigned attorneys to limit their questions to the issues of the case, and frequently sustained motions to dismiss them.
Attorneys for the counsel, James A. McClure and Ralph Oman, of the Topeka law firm of Stone, McClure, and McClure concerning study hours, the number of study rooms maintained, and others designed to bring out testimony that foreshadows concerns concerning financial matters. M. A. Gerrill and Henry Asher, attorneys for the county sequestering to keep fraternity property on the grounds; and

Financial Statements In Court
chapter financial statements to cofnr for consultation in answering queries about the building, little more than $1,000 for each fraternity, with that of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, at $1,160, being typical. The witnesses also were asked to discuss their social budgets. Most of the officials testified that separate corporations or organizations were the rule for financing house construction. One detail was when Catherine Catinl, c32, president of Pi Beta Phi, testified concerning the collection of house fees by the active chapter, part of which in turn was turned to a fundraising effort for the building expense. When questioned concerning the uses of the money thus appropriated, she included in her items use of money "to pay myself." She immediately wrote:
The attorneys for the county continued to ask questions designed to show whether the house corporations or associations were connected with
Witnesses called today included Herbert M. Woolsey, e22, and William R. Hagman, c32, Pi Kappa Alpha; Sullivan and Jack Bowman, c34, Pi Delta Theta; Miss Cailin and Mary Krewner, c32, Pi Beta Phi; Aaron E. Bramble, c32, Kappa Kappa Gamma; Carl E. Williams, c32, Triangle.
Entertainment of visitors continued to be stressed in questioning. One fraternity president, John Sullivan, Phi Delta Theta, admitted that alumni who are entertained at homecoming and other events are drawn to the house treasures, but that such was not the rule. Fraternity counsel emphasized that such entertainment provided by fraternities was usually free, and was a service to the University. They also emphasized that fraternities were non-profit organizations.
Teatimony concerning house mothers was offered stated that these women were not interested in the social graces. Mr. Gorrill commented, "They need it." He would not admit, however, when questioned by O. Manan, that fraternities served edible meats.
Considerable questioning concerning house members was apparently in an unusual situation. The house mothers, by personal entertainments and other activities, used the houses for purposes other than those for which there is legal exemption from their occupation.
Objections came rapidly during the questioning today. Judge Vance frequently did not pass on such objection, and he recorded in writing. He will pass on them after the hearing, he said, and strike out such evidence which substantiated his opinion.
Witnesses on the stand later yesterday afternoon included Ben Williamson, e33. Triangle Chandler Javaris, Donald McFarlane and Donald McFarlane, m35. Chiaga McFarlane, m35. Chiaga McFarlane, m35. Chiaga McFarle

Ted Shawn Will Appear At University Tuesda
Ted Shaun, one of the foremost of American male dancers, will appear with his performers in several groups of dances, Tuesday evening, Feb. 9, in the University auditorium, sponsored by the Kansas Players and Teal Sigma.
Dances Will Be Based Upor Original American Folk Music
Shawn will perform a group of four dances based upon authentic and original American folk music. They consist of the "Old Fiddler's Breakdown," a rattle ballad; "Nobody knows the Trouble Pee Seen," a negrical spiritual; "Old Time Religion," a revival hymn and the "Battle Hymn of the Republic."
"America for Americans," says Ted Shawn, who, although he has actively studied authentic foreign dance sources in his own life, has arranged an arrangement of foreign form into forms for completed dance presentation. It is also highly interested in American dance.
As a part of his program here, Shawn will present his group of American Indian dancers and singers, the Osa-Ghost "dance," and the Osage- Pawnee "Dance of Greeting," performed by four of their groups.
Ted Shawn resigned his studies for the Methodist ministry, and then took up the dance as a butler of health he has been planning a mammoth ballet. He met with Walt Whitman, "Leaves of Grass", which has not yet materialized. He wishes through it to demonstrate the richness and depth of the sources of material for dance composition which have carefully been tapped in this count.
Shawn insists upon the availability of national themes instead of those borrowed from European traditions. Eight of Shawna's dancers perform a group performance at Boston Fancy-1854, accompanied by the music composed by Eastwood Lane.
These numbers include lectures by Major Gen. Sneed Milley and B. S. Kratelie, English journalist, two dramatical productions by the University dramatic club and Kansas Player; four concerts on the University concert series; the East-West revue six University debates; and two glee club concerts.
Members of the faculty may also purchase the enterprise tickets at reduced prices. The new tickets do not include a discount on the University concert series.
Student enterprise tickets may now be bought for the remaining numbers of the group, for the special price of $3, by any student who did not purchase them, or more especially by those non-student students who are polling this semester.

Washington, Feb. 3—(UP)—The state department today announced receipt of a "favorable reply from the Chinese government to the British-American officials," and officials would not reveal details of the reply which was communicated from Nanking but it was understood that the response would anticipate the five point peace program
Japan's response has not yet been received. The government however took cognizance of press reports that Tokio would accept all but the fifth point of the British-American program against Nanking to Nanking yesterday.
This point provides for the settlement of all Japanese-Chinese issues in the United States. It also leads to League of Natoma resolution of Dec 9, providing for a neutral investigation of Japan's relations with China.
Failure of Japan to accept the fifth point, is was believed, will not wreck the peace program, although neutral officials have said that all of Japanese-Chinese troubles. Their first concern is to mitigate the perilous situation at Shanghai, now threatening Tokyo.
