FORMER STUDENT
IS MADE LIBERAL
LEADER! JAPAN
Hiroshi Momiyama, M.A. 1916,
Is One of Five Managers
Of Minseito Party.
J. Fukusato, a Japanese grad
uate student registered in the !
University this year, has re
ported to The Daily Tar Heel
that Mr. Hiroshi Momiyama
upon whom this institution con-j
f erred a master of arts degree I
in 1916 was appointed a leader;
of the Minseito . political party
(democratic or liberal) early in
January.
The Minseito party is strong
ly in favor of parliamentary
and civilian government as op
posed to government 1by the
' militarists. The Japanese have
spoken of it as their Democratic
party. The president of this
party was for many years the
Marquis Okuiria, who was a
friend of long standing of Hir
oshi Momiyama.
. The management of the Min
seito party is entrusted to a
committee of five managers, of
which . Momiyama is now a
member, and the president , of
the party. By precedent a half
of the managers are made min
isters, the others serving as
. -vice-ministers whenever . the
party is in power.
-: Momiyama has served as a
secretary of the Japanese navy,
and it is likely that he would be
come a vice-minister df any de
partment provided the Minseito
party comes to power again
during the time Momiyama : re
mains a manager. He is now
slightly more than, forty-five
years of age.
DAVIS SAYS NEW
YEAR BOOR WILL
BE CONSERVATIVE
Yackety Yack for 1932 Will Con
tain Pictures of President
Graham's Inauguration.
The 1932 Yackety Yack will
"be a very conservative volume
with no theme and no elaborate
border or coloring, according to
Holmes Davis, the editor.
The cover will be black and
blue designed with a picture of
the entrance to Kenan Stadium
embossed in the upper left hand
corner and one of the bell tower
in the lower right hand corner.
The title will be in the upper
right while the year 1932 will
be written in the lower left.
The backbone will have the
title, the name of the University,
date, volume and the P. U.
Board.
The year book will contain
384 pages, ten less than the 1931
volume. The size will be re
duced to 8 by 10 3-4, thus mak
ing it equal to the Yackety Yack
of 1930.
The dedication-is to be made
to some prominent alumnus,
whose name is not to be dis
closed. ,
The' general difference in this
book from the last one will be
in the smaller size, and the gen
eral treatment of subjects and
material.
The feature section will in
clude a view section, pictures of
the inauguration, faculty, and
alumni. Vanity Fair section will
-also be included, as was not the
case last year.
The dance section of the book
will be closed February r20 and
the fraternity section today.

Japan and China have held
the attention of the world upon
their activities for more than
four months. Interest has been
as keen in developments there
as in the current bank failures
or in pre-election presidential

Shanghai have become as fami

HENRY FORD HAS
AAmTATrnTrrn jvw
EIGHTAM) FOUR
Automobile Manufacturer Will
Present New Models to Cut
Transportation Costsi
There is no longer specula
tion as to what Henry Ford is
going to do, for he has just dis
closed his latest plan to break
loose the jam that for nearly
two years has retarded the auto
mobile industry.
The manufacturer , has an
nounced that within the next
few. weeks his company will
bring out an improved four and
a new "V" eight cylinder model,
and has coupled with his an
nouncement a statement that
he has determined to "get the
price of an automobile down to
where the public can buy it."
Ford has taken the helm and
is again the ' direct driving,
supervising, creative force be-
;hind the engineering under
takings of the company. He is
' making a personal effort to pro
duce "what these times require"
the most advanced form of
transportation at the lowest
cost ever known. . '
Both these qualities are to be
embodied in the new eight cy
linder model, which is to have
wholly new design, longer
wheelbase, more room, lower
hung chassis, and a heavier
frame than, have yet appeared
in Ford models.
No date has been set for the
presentation of the new eights,
but the new fours will be ready
for delivery in March.
