Efforts at Truce
Slowed by Rumors
Of Quo’s Quitting
fTlireateiHMl Resignation of
Nanking Delegate Hurts
y Sino-Japanese Parley
By MORRIS J. HARRIS
< Associated Pre»» Staff Correspondent)
SHANGHAI, April 4— (AP) —
The Japanese and Chinese truce
negotiations got a little closer to
rlay but their progress was dis
turbed by an announcement that
Quo Tai-Chi, Chinese vice-minister
for foreign affairs, intended to re
sign as chief delegate of the Nan
king government.
Last Saturday Quo’s automobile
Was stopped by a group of mem
bers of a Chinese patriotic organi
sation who demanded an unyield
ing attitude be taken against
Japan. They told the vice-minister
China must insist on the surrender
by the Japanese of Woosung and
Kiangwan, where fighting was
heaviest during the recent conflict.
Quo informed these Chinese
they should make their represen
tations through "proper channels"
and he never would be u party to
any agreement detrimental to
China.
During today's armistice con
ference the Japanese made some
concessions, but a Chinese spokes
man described them as "unimpor
tant." These concessions concern
ed the schedule of Japanese troop
withdrawals.
The Chinese remained adamant
in their demand that the Japanese
fix a date for complete evacua
tion into the International settle
ment, while the Japanese were
willing only to set a time for the
beginning for the withdrawal.
Complete evacuation, they said,
must depend on circumstances.
The conference will be resumed
Thursday.

Frank Harris believes that in
another hundred years Bernard
Shaw will never be heard of. Well,
Shaw and I are in the same boat,
only I have a little edge on him in
that I have no reputation to
dwindle away into nothingness. I
have never been a Fabian nor is
it said that I am a party to com
munism. I don’t suppose anyone
cares.
I am going to write a column. 11
have written columns before, but,
then, I was known as “The Emer
ald.” This time I have no dis
guise.
Here, there will be no controver
sies, no ill feelings aired, and
above all, no attempt at humor.
It must be made clear that this is
not a humor column. Damn
humor columns! I am no Aristo
phenes or W. S. Gilbert and few
others are. Most of them are little
Walter Winchells, the only differ
ence being that he draws down a
salary of $25,000 for radio an
nouncing.
Without controversy or humor
little remains but talk. And I
suppose that this column will be
that, mostly. There are lots of
things to talk about. Michael,
Lord of Montaigne found them and
filled three volumes. Considering
even the looming apathy, I might
encourage myself to believe that
more students on this campus will
read this column than have read
Montaigne. I justify this theory
on the grounds that their eyes will
be led to it daily by the bits of
tasty news that will appear on this
page.
So, I hereby fall in line with the
staff of the 1932 Emerald and pass
as a daily contributor.
Young Professor
At Pittsburgh U.
Finds Vitamin C
PITTSBURGH, April 4—(AP)
—A young professor of
chemistry announced casually
tonight: “We have isolated and
identified vitamin C.”
For five years, IJr. C. C.
King, not quite 35, and his as
■ sociates, have labored for a
solution long sought by re
search scientists.
The importance of his work,
the exacting calculations, the
arduous research and the pati
ent tests found no place in Dr.
King’s simple announcement.
Dr. King explained at length
he had concentrated the vitamin
from lemon juice.
Vitamin C is plentiful in
lemons, orunges, tomatoes, po
tatoes, and certain other veget
ables and fruits.

LONDON, April 4—(AP)—Set

meeting between Prime Minister
Ramsey MacDonald and Premier
Andre Tardieu was concluded with
the establishment of a "cordial and

conference convenes in London
Wednesday.
Britain and France "understand
each other perfectly,” Mr. Mac
Donald said. “We are determined
in every way to work for a four
power agreement — Britain,
France, Italy and Germany.”
In the course of their two meet

statesmen concentrated on the
financial difficulties of the Danu

Hoover Argues
For Abolition of
Shipping Board
Urges That Congress Pass
Laws To Reorganize
Merchant Marine
WASHINGTON, April 4—1AP)
—Abolishment of tne shipping
board was advocated today by
President Hoover in announcing he
had no present intention of filling
the place left vacant on the board
by the recent death of E. C. Plum
mer.
Speaking rapidly and decisively
at a press conference, Mr. Hoover
explained he hoped Congress would
pass legislation reorganizing the
government’s merchant marine ac
tivities “in order that we may
make drastic reduction of expendi
tures in this session.”
In reiterating the need for
grouping government shipping ac
tivities, the president said that aid
and loans to merchant marine ser
vice, directly and indirectly,
amount to about $100,000,000 a
year at present.
"We cannot remedy the situation
without legislation,” he said.
Mr. Hoover also repeated past
recommendations for regulation of
shipping rates and advocated for
this rate regulation a new organi
zation comprised of present mem
bers of the shipping board, term
ing their experience “most valu
able.” *
President Hoover tempered his
remarks about the shipping board
by explaining he did not intend to
criticize it but was criticizing “an
impossible and expensive form of
organization and divided responsi
bility.”

LINDBERGH TAKES TO AIR
IN ATTEMPT TO FIND SON
(Continued fruiti Page One)
New Jersey when Lindbergh land
ed at 6:20 p. m.
They drove off in an automobile
without disclosing their destina
tion. After several contrary re
ports had been investigated it was
believed they were returning here,
a trip which would require several
hours by automobile during the
heavy early evening traffic.
“A night police bulletin said any
information concerning the colo
nel’s trip must come from him.”
Sensational conjectures sprang
from the fact that Lindbergh and
Breckinridge carried a suitcase and
a blanket when they entered the
colonel's plane at Newark.
The latest trip of the colonel's
made it even more evident that he
was determined to do personally
whatever might be necessary to
restore his son.

was expected to arrive here tonight
from London to interview the
mother of Nursemaid Betty Gow
in connection with his investigation
into the kidnaping of Charles A.
Lindbergh Jr.
News the American police of

citement. The local police insti

the streets most everyone seemed
to be asking, "Is the Lindbergh
baby in Glasgow?”
Police authorities expressed the
belief that "something of consid
erable importance” might result
from Major Schoeffel’s visit.

“Girl Crazy” at McDonald
"Girl Crazy” Danny was sent
out West to get him away from
the bright lights. But he brought
the bright lights out West and
turned them all on!
For gambler, the hero, Eddie
Quillan, hires Robert Woolsey. The
city slicker’s finances being low,
he takes a taxi to Custerville.
Bert Wheeler, its driver, thinks it’s
his chance to shake his kid sister,
Mitzi Green, but she stows away
with the bus bringing out the
Broadway beauties and the city
villain.
From the opening of the picture
in the graveyard for sheriffs in
Custerville to the last scene in the
Mexican hotel, the picture is the
hilarious comedy always expected
of Wheeler and Woolsey. And
Mitzi Green's imitations must be
seen and heard to be really appre
ciated!
“After Tomorrow,” with Charles
Farrell and Marian Nixon in the
leading roles, will be the feature
at the McDonald Wednesday and
Thursday. Frustrated constantly
by their sentimental and selfish
mothers, the young married couple
seek emotional relief in a blind
trust that “After Tomorrow" life
promises to be bright.

tion at the Colonial is “Cracked
Nuts,” with Wheeler and Woolseyj

executioner, and a crazy kingdom
—these are the picture’s laugh
provoking ingredients.
Eleanor Boardman leads the cast

plays in this picture, which is
based on Zoe Akins’ play, “Daddy’s
Gone A-Hunting.”
