C WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1937 8U5ZXES3 FHOVB 4156 NUMBER 47 Ml 1H Wo rid News By Nelson Large SHANGHAI FALLS WITH CHINESE RETREAT Shanghai, Nov. 9-After 88 days of fighting against the combined forces of the Japanese army, navy and air forces, Gen eralissimo Chiang Kai-Shek's Chinese warriors retreated to winter headquarters today leav ing the city in the hands of the Japanese. The Chinese forces began their orderly retreat shortly af ter midnight toward their "win ter line" protecting Nanking, the nation's capital. ' The city was asleep and un aware of what was taking place; the Japanese did not learn of the retreat until 8 a. m. (7 p. m. Eastern Standard Time, Mon day.) Following the withdrawal, Japanese troops were able to close China's largest and great est seaport, cutting the metro polis off from the rest of the na tion, and caging three million Chinese residents, one million refugees and many thousands of Americans and other foreigners. Only a few foreign and Jap anese vessels were left as the sole connection with the out side world after Japanese had either cut or blocked all rail roads and highways leading from the city. The loss of Shanghai will un doubtedly affect' the 'morale of the Chinese troops, however, Generalissimo Chiang indicated that this would only be tempor ary because the Shanghai opera tions were local and did not form a vital part of the nation's chief defenses, which he said were around the Yellow river region. GOLD LEAVES U. S. TO BOOST THE FRANC Washington, Nov. 9 A cargo of gold amounting to $10,500,000 was packed for shipment to France today by the United States, who also made notice that millions of dollars more were for sale. The purchase was made pos sible by the French stabilization plan which was established a year aco when the franc left the gold standard. The transaction .took place un der the Anglo-Franco-American pact which seeks to prevent sev ere fluctuations in currency, re lationships. This shipment was the first to be exported by the United States since March of 1936. At the same time the ship ment was made, the San Fran cisco chamber of commerce re ported that $10,000,000 , worth of gold bars had landed there from Japan in the last two days, and according to the Japanese consul general in San Francisco, shipments such as this were not unusual. ' ! ; : : During four years jn which gold has continuously poured wto this country from other na tions, the United States store of gold has increased to $12,300,- 000,000; more than half of the world's supply of gold. Secretary Morgenthau an nounced that for two weeks the American stabilization fund has keen selling a secret amount of gold whith it owned in Europe, this supply, however, is now ex hausted. COUNCIL REFUSES PETITIONS MADE BY SENIOR HEAD Magill Says Present Ruling Tests Spirit The Student council last night refused petitions by President Joe Patterson of the Senior class to reduce the number of votes necessary to pass class budgets from one-half to one-third of the class members, to accept the senior class budget already pass ed by a third, and to permit vot ing to be done by mail. President Bob Magill declared that the council felt that the original reason for the ruling re quiring a majority is still valid, and that the present difficulty in securing a quorum should be used, as a test of class desire to exercise their major functions. President Patterson, after fail ing in two attempts to secure a majority of votes on the class budget, declared a change in the ruling seemed to be the only way possible to pass the budget. The ruling, passed by the council several years ago, reads: "The budgets of all fee-collect ing organizations must be voted upon by a majority of members or the duly selected representa tives of that organization."

The Ophthalm-O-Uraph is an eve. movement camera which photographs the actual behavior of reading eyes. J Photographs Eye It photographs the eye move ments: while the subject's eyes are in the actual declination for reading The record thus ob tained is said to be an absolute ly true picture of the binocular behavior of . the subject's eyes during the act of reading. One advantage which is ac credited to the Ophthalm-O- Graph is that it will point out possible , visual ; handicaps long before they become acute. The Ophthalm-O-Graph test consists not only of determining the reading speed and correct ness of reading habits but also of reading comprehension. Aids Poor Readers The freshmen who show slow reading habits from the Oph-thalm-O-Graph test will be given the remedial reading work on the Metron-O-Scope to increase their speed and comprehension.

Suma, who is being brought here by the C. P. U., will be introduced by Dr. D. H. Buchanan. The Sino-Japanese war, for months a subject of national and world wide interest, has re cently been the cause of heated discussions here on the campus. The Foreign Policy club and both local debating societies have devoted much time to the subject. Except over week-ends, when football games come to the fore, it has been the most prominent topic in dorm store arguments. But the speech to night is expected to serve as a sort of climax to all this. Yaki chiro Suma should have some thing to say.
