He did not say so, but the impression was that he did not propose to be left in position of asking for an extra tax, having to col lect it, and then find it turned over to some other agency to expend for purposes which he did not entirely approve. In the memoranda filed yesterday, State College folks did ask for the tax, which still would have to be col lected by Commissioner Scott’s de partment, but they ask that it be turn ed over to the college to spend.

Jap Soldiers Land Near South China; Complications Sure Shanghai, Feb. 10— forces landed today on Hainan island off the south China coast, giving rise to fears of new international fric tion in the Far East.

C., FRIDAY AFTERNOON, FEBRUARY 10, 1939 (A Faris dispatch said the landing came as a shock to France, and French observers said it was certain to lead to sharp diplomatic exchanges between Paris and Tokyo. France asked Japan for an “explanation” of a previous attempt to land on Hainan last year. (The French government considered its 1907 treaty with Japan pledging: each nation not to act in China, “at the expense of the other”, meant that Japan should not occupy Hainan.

Freighter Search Abandoned Without Trace of Steamer New York, Feb. 10.—(AP)— Four rescue ships turned hack to their courses today and the story of the British freighter Maria de Larrinaga was ended with three simnle words: “Lost at sea.” “Certain she foundered,” said a terse message from the American Scantic liner Scanmail as the search was abandoned last night. Equally crisp words—“poor visi bility, mountainous seas and high northwest gales”—described the difficulties of the hunt for the freighter, which had sent out dis tress signals Monday from a point 1,200 miles east of New York. There remained a thin chance that some of the 37 men aboard were still afloat in lifeboats or clinging to wreckage. Nye to Fore In Row Over U. S. Attitude By CHARLES P.

Small Stockholders Are Losers by Indifference Changes in Selecting Boards of Directors Needed To Put Better Management in Busi ness Concerns, Babson Says as Reports Come In BY ROGER W. BABSON, Copyright 1939, Publishers Financial Bureau, Inc. Babson Park, Fla., Feb. 10.—This is the open season on annual reports. Readers who own a few shares of stock are now hearing about “your company during the past year, etc., etc.” These reports are so inadequate and uninteresting that few people have the patience to read them. After receiving a few myself I have a strong feeling that in playing up the battle between capital (investors) and labor (wage earners), we are only telling half the story. We should publicize the need' for better management as well. The small stockholder’s lot is a dif ficult one.

Rivers Near Flood Stage After Rains Raleigh, Feb. 10.—(AP)—Weather Man Lee Denson issued advisory flood warnings for all eastern North Carolina rivers today in the wake of excessive rains in this area. ‘‘The floods will be rather heavy in the Tar.

Too many people become stock holders because they want to buy cheap stock that “is going up.” They pay no attention to the actual run ning of the company. Because this is true, the management —sometimes owning little or no interest in the company—has practically a free hand.
