GRATIFIED BY STUDY OF CONTROVERSIAL QUESTIONS WASHINGTON, Sept. 6. School let's In thl month with more vim and vigor and optimism than It over has before, If we can believe the man whose Job It Is to look at education and give It a helping hand In the name of your government In Wash ington. John W. Studebaker. commissioner of education, predicts a good year for the schools of the nation: "More pupils and a larger num ber of adults." he says, "are going back to school tills year. The whole financial situation Is Improved, more local school budgets are approach ing the pre-depresslon standard. There Is a more optimistic feeling, for there are more books, better ma terial, a better quality of teachers than In many years." . And you can tell by the extra em phasis this emphatic little man puts Into his phrases that the things that please him most, as he looks at edu cation this year are three: First, the Increased Interest among adults In continuing their educa tion; second, the wider use of radio as s supplement to books and charts, and third, and perhaps, most gratify ing to him, the conolustve evidence that, in secondary schools, as well as colleges and universities, a real ef fort Is being made to study more di rect methods in the discussion of controversial ..questions. This last point Is one of Mr. Stude bakert bobbies, the old "town hall" Idea of threshing out Important mat ters for young and old alike. Radio la another pet of his. and. thanks to the radio project developed under the WPA by the office of edu cation of the department of the In terior, he has been able to demon strate that an educational program can be made as good In terms of listener response as a broadcast built by commercial organizations. The radio project, directed by Wil liam Boutwell. who wrote It and produced the first office of educa tion program and since has had bad charge of a dozen network broad casts, has Just announced another pioneer Job. A Pan-American pro gram, the first of Its kind ever In itiated, will begin shortly. For the first time, a government will put on a program of education confined en tirely to material concerning foreign nations. These broadcasts will be de voted to all the Latin-American coun tries, and the scripts, with their sup plemental material, will be used as permanent texts for study In the schools. It Is a real "good neighbor" gesture. It wss In Dr. Stodcbaker's belief tbst adulta not only need but want to keep up with the times that his public forum Idea originated. He be lieves that too much of our span of Ufa goai. on without education. The "casualties" In the process of educa tion are almost complete after 17 few persons beyond that age continue heir Mluratlon and vet the remain ing period Is three times aa long as the school penoa. The storv Is stold of how John w Studebaker once had to write the word "permission" 500 times for re fusing to ask for It before speaking out In school. Iv-r since, tn school and out, he has been In the business of "permit ting" Instead of forbidding permit ting things to be thought and words to be said. That's his theory of what educa tion la or ought to be: and aa a practical example, the public school system which he built In his home town of Des Moines stands as a model for the nation. Wa use the word 'built" with a purpose, for that, too, goes back Into his beginning. Mr. studebaker was at one time a bricklayer and still proudly carries the little portfolio which held his card In the Bricklay ers. Msscns and Plasterers Interna tional Union of America. Thanks to thst union card, he got a diploma to frame beside It. He worked his way through Leander Clark college In Cedsr Rapids. Later, he garnered a master's degree at Columbia. He had already wavered between architecture and teaching, and fin ally tuned off with the latter. His first teaching Job was such that be was saved the biliht of early ov- .rspeclcliantlon. He was principal of a hljh school where he served as physical director lo.

Due To Stiff Resistance Of Defenders. TOKYOSept. 5. (Sundsy) (AP) Japsn today extended lta naval block ade of the Chinese coast to Include new waters through which Chinese shipping is forbidden to ply off the wer-torn continent. The foreign office announced ex tension of the blarkage effective at noon Sunday (7 p.m. P.S.T., Satur day.) Tsingteo. the principal port of Shantung province, -and the leased territories of third powers were spe cifically excluded from the bristling ring of Japanese warships. The peaceful commerce of third powers will be treated "with due re spect," the foreign office said. . . SHANGHAI. Sept. 4. (AP) Japan's bristling naval guns and bombing planes carried the battle for supre macy In China 600 miles Into the southland today and lost the first major encounter. Three Japanese warships steamed Into the southern port of Amoy on Friday, above them several squad rons of warplanea, and began firing on Chinese forts. . The defenders answered with artil lery fire, and battle roared through out the day. By nightfall, Chinese reports satd, one Japanese warship was disabled and had to be towed away by her two companions; the aerial bombardment caused no seri ous damege and only one woman was Injured. . ... . -,; A second aerial attackvon Satur., day, apparently was more successful. Fifty bombs were dropped on KIngpo. south of Shanghai In Chektang prov ince, the United States consulate- general here was advised. Within Shanghai itself, Saturday was confined largely to reconsollda tton of forces along the front 19 to 20 miles north and east from Liuho to Woosung; to the dally Japanese aerial bombardment and counter fire by Chinese anti-aircraft. Each belligerent claimed advances, but It appeared to foreign observers mat trie Japanese army had encount ered far more severe opposition than u expected. The promised "big Japanese push" has not materialized. Is. In fact, two weeks overdue. Foreign military cir cles believe the reason la that the Japanese have appealed to Tokyo for more man power, and are awaiting n oeiore launcning any wholesale at- tacR. Japan haa landed large forces of reinforcements along the Soo-Sung front, and la estimated to have 60.000 men now available within striking distance of Shanghai against an estimated 200,000 Chinese, many of them members of China's German trained battalions. While there was no major conflict through Saturday, the danger to Americans and foreigners In the In ternational settlement and the French concession was ever present. Japanese airmen continued bom bardment of Chinese positions In Chapel, already devastated, and Yangtze poo. Klangwan, Talc hong and Yanhong districts were blasted, and new fires sent up a pall of smoke and flames. American, British and French consuls-generals Joined in a demand to both Chinese and Japanese to with draw their forces from the vicinity of the International areas, splattered Friday by artillery shelling with an estimated 100 civilians killed. The most spectacular Incident of today's bombing was the crash of a flaming Japanese super-bomber, dis abled while power-dlvlng with bombs over Chinese Chapel. Ita five accu pants were killed. A second Japanese plane was shot down while reconnolt ering over the north station. A group of American missionaries arrived here Saturday, from Inland Changshu. SO miles to the northwest, with tales of terrible bombardment by Japanese warplanes. The Rev. H, S. Smith of Blnghamp- ton. New York, member of the Am erican Episcopal church mission, told of two devastating attacks by the Japanese bombers, one on August 93 and one on September 1. ALICE FAYE WEDS ON TRIP TO YUMA YTJMA.

PORTLAND, Sept. 4 (fl) The Ore- gonlan will say Sunday that Federal Judge Claude McColloch. retiring state chairman of the Democratic party, was being urged "on all sides" to act Immediately on the question of a successor. McColloch,- recently appointed to the federal bench, was quoted as saying he was "studying the law." .The newspaper said the hitch over a successor apparently had developed on the point of whether Nadle Stray ear, Baker, vice chairman of the state committee, could legally step Into McColloch's seat without a committee vote. When she was chosen In 1036, the Oregon law did not mention her posi tion other than to say the committee was empowered to elect "such offi cers" -as it deemed necessary. The 1B37 legislature specifically provided for a vice chairman but no means of suc cession to & vacancy In the chair manship were delineated. In the event of Miss Strayer's ascendancy, the Oregontan said "a strange picture" would result because her brother, Manley, Is a deputy United States attorney and his supe rior. Carl Donaugh. I being -urged to seek the "Democratic -nomination for -U. 8. senator In opposition to Willis Mahoney, Klamath Falls. ' The Oregontan said that should such changes take place "Donaugh 1 would have as a state chair woman the sister of one of his deputies." The newspaper mentioned Dr. Wil liam A. Harroun, Portland, as "be coming more active than ever" as a candidate for the state chairmanship and quoted him as saying something should be done "Immediately." He was quoted as flaying the activities of John Beckman, Multnomah county Democratic leader and mentioned as a chairmanship possibility. "Beckman a management of the Democratic party In Multnonv'a county Is nothing but one grand Joke," the quotation read. SEEK 50 MILLION TO FIGHT WEEDS WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.

Use Emergency Measures To End Labor Warfare. PORTLAND. Ore.. Sept. 4 The city council got both sides together today In the bloody labor war be tween the A. F. L. and O. X. O., fight ing for control of the big saraill in dustry, and after knocking figurative chips oft one another's shoulders, the two factions agreed to a truce until Thursday. SAN FRANXISCO. Sept. 4. (AP) A Teamsters Union threat to "close every port on the Pacific coast" served today 'to move San Francisco's A.F.L.-CJ.O. ""finish fight" toward a crisis embracing possible Labor day complications. Dave Beck, western leader of the A. Pi. teamsters, said that unless the C.I.O. longshoremen ceased at tempts to organise warehousemen hla union would extend Its Ban Francisco waterfront blockade to all coast ports where the warehousemen do not belong to his organisation. The Beck statement waa the team sters' answer to a longshoremen's "peace offer" proposing removal of C.I.O. pickets from a packing plant where differences between the two labor factions led to lnter-unlon warfare. PORTLAND, Sept. 4. (AP) The city council Instructed Chief of PO' lice Harry Nlles today to preserve law and order and use such emer gency messures aa he sees fit In dealing with outbursts of violence between the A.F.L. snd CIO., fight ing for control of Portland sawmill employes. Nlles wss told to call out police reserves If he found his uniformed force unable to cope wltb any sit. uatlon. The council, which summoned leaders of rival labor factions to Ita chambers, Issued Its Instructions af ter listening to an exchange of name-calling by labor leaders, whose verbal pyrotechnics enlivened otherwise calm session. "If they wsnt a battle, they'll gat It." roared Bonn Mathla, A.F.L. fig ure, at CJ.O. delegates. "If they want a battle, we'll be ready." retorted Bert Hall, long shoremen leader, as vigorously. Don Helmlck, of the CJ.O. lum ber union group, said his organisa tion wanted no trouble but would protect lta own men. Hall said the A.F.L. wanted noth ing to do with the sawmill workers "until we had 80.000 men In our organisation." The only reason It seeks control now Is because "they (the men! would pay for the sup port of the parasites In office In the Carpentcra and Joiners union and use our votes to elect their own choices." he charged. Mathls charged the CJ.O. with beating up pickets and going about with clubs and other weapons. At one Juncture. City Commission er J. E.

Burke pledged "full aupport" for a senate resolution to express oppo sition to a third term for Prealdent Roosevelt. Senator Holt (p.-W. Va.) has announced he will aubmlt auch a resolution at the next session of con gress. I am even going farther." Burke said, "and work for a constitutional amendment limiting tbe president's term to a single period of six years. Burke declared Garner had "a lot of things the country needa and which would make him a worthy successor to President Roosevelt." "What the country needed during the last four years." he ssld, "was vision, sympathy with the under privileged, Idealism and a willingness to try any kind of an experiment that cams to mind in order to -alleviate aufferlng. "What we need now la some- one wltb very different qualities. Wa need someone with hard common sense rather than a aympathetlo na ture, particularly In financial mat ters. We need someone that can hold down expendlturea and restore con fidence so that business and Industry may go ahead and expand, thus pro viding Jobs." Garner, be commented, "haa no sympathy with labor excesses such aa altdown atrlkea, but he believes In collective bargaining and the right of every working man to a- fair chance." "He wouldn't atand for any non sense and he would make It known that the government doesn't owe a Uvlnk to anybody unless he la willing to get out and work." Burke predicted Prealdent Roose velt would begin to "taper off" hla "experimental" program during the remaining years of hla second term. He predicted also that congress would "assert Itself" Increasingly during the remainder of Mr. Roosevelt's admin istration. LADY DESERT RAT IT BAKERS FIELD. Cal Sept. 4.
