Science-Religion
Tie-up Is Sought
INDIANAPOLIS. Dec. 27.-flV
A plea for cooperation between
science and religion to "domesti
cate and civilize the wild beast in
man" was made tonight by Dr.
Edwin G. Conklln of the Ameri
can association for the advance
ment of science.
The ethics of great scientists Is
"essentially slm'lar to that taught
by great religious leaders," he de
clared, "and the Christian
churches of the United States are
concerned with the cultivation of
ethics."
"That so little has been accom
plished." he said, "and so much
remains to be done is due in part
to refactory material, poor meth
ods and the necessity of repeat-
ing. this, work in every genera
tion' The Princeton university scient
ist, who has written, among other
books, one on "The Direction of
Human Evolution," declared no
race of super-minded or super
bodied men could be developed In
less than 20 centuries by scien
tific . breeding methods used: on
human beings.

Dramatic Battle
On Inside Teruel
HENDAYE, Franco-S p a n I s h
Frontier, Dec. 27.-(fl3)-Beleaguer-
ed insurgent troops at Teruel ra
dioed the insurgent high com
mand tonight that they had suffi
cient munitions and food to con
tinue defense of their flaming
strongholds.
The insurgent remnants, barri
caded six days in the massive Te
ruel seminary and the bank of
Spain, both on fire, fought to hold
off a ring of government attackers
until relief forces under Gen. Mi
guel Aranda could break through
to them.
General Aranda's counter-off en
sive was reported by insurgent dis
patches to have advanced to with-
ing a mile and a quarter of the
northwestern section of Teruel,
135 miles east of Madrid. -
An insurgent communique as
serted the fighting within the cap
tured city was "only a dramatic
episode" compared to the maneu
vers launched by Generalissimo
Francisco Franco to retake terri
tory lost in that strategic sector
because of the recent government
offensive.
Government troops,, however,
strengthened their grip on Teruel
by hammering their way into the
civil guard barracks, leaving only
two citadels to be taken.

"Above all else the manufac
turers of the nation believe that
calm and non-partisan considera
tion of our national problems la
the need of the hour. They have
offered Tepeatedly and stand
ready at all times to cooperate
toward bettering economic condi
tions. Meantime their pledge to
the American people fa that they

Borah Criticizes
Anti-Trust Move
"Consent Decree"
WASHINGTON, ' Dec. H.-(JPh
The government's abortive hand
ling of anti-trust proceedings
against three big automobile com
panies drew condemnation today
from Senator Borah (R-idaho).
He critic! xed the government on
much the same grounds that Fed
eral Judge Ferdinand A. Geiger
did recently when. he discharged
a Milwaukee grand Jury which
had received evidence against' the
companies:. y
Referring to the fact the' jus
tice department and the compan
ies had discussed a "consent de
tree" settlement of the case, Bor
ah said such negotiations were "all
wrong, both In morals and In their
practical benefit s especially
when Ihey are made after the guil
ty parties hays come within the
Hatches of the law." ' "
He said he did not know all the
details about the Milwaukee case.
bat "nothing could be more calcu
lated to encourage the violation of
law than to adopt a system per
mitting great organisation leaders
to bail themselves out by agreeing
not to violate the law again."

Admiral Noble to
Head Naval Force
LONDON. Dee. 27.-P)-The
admiralty announced tonight
Vice-Adm. Sir Percy Noble, fourth
sea lord and chief of supplies and
transport, would leave immedi
ately after the holidays to be
come commander-in-chief of the
China station.
Admiral Noble, regarded as a
man of action, is to go directly
to Hongkong. That colony now is
considered the principal danger
spot for British interests in tbe
far east because of an imminent
Japanese drive against nearby
Canton, south China metropolis.
British admiralty experts were
said last week to have advised
the cabinet that six capital ships
battleships or battle cruisers
were necessary for adequate pro
tection of British interests in the
far east war tones.
If the cabinet should approve
such a step, it is understood the
naval power would be concen
trated at Hongkong.
Change in Silver
Policy Predicted
WASHINGTON, Dec. 27 -(P)-Some

tonight that. President Roosevelt

domestic silver for a year. It was
learned today Mr. Roosevelt might
in the future announce that silver
prices would be subject to change
at any time that conditions war
ranted. This action may be taken
Thursday or Friday. He has prom
ised to "say something about sil
ver" this week. Unless he extends
the present policy, the existing
proclamation, establishing the do
mestic silver price at 77.57 cents
an ounce or about 32 cents above
the world price, will expire Friday

Code Clerk A. A. McFayden on
their way-to Nanking to reopen
the United States embassy as

American foreign service officers
would - proceed to Hohsien and
then await instructions from
Washington since Japan has
asked - foreign nations withhold,
reopening of their diplomatic
quarters lemporarily.
The Japanese said the presence
of foreigners would be danger
ous because of military clean-up
operations still to be completed
around Nanking.
Although British and German
diplomatic representatives had
planned to sail on the Oahu none
made the trip. They were un
derstood to be waiting further
instructions from London nd
Berlin.
