Nipponese Act To Prevent China-Russia Pact At Arms Meet
GENEVA, Feb. 22 —(UP)— A Japanese program calling for prohibition of aerial bombardment of towns and cities was presented to the world disarmament conference tonight while warfare between China and Japan raged through the burning ruins of Shanghai and nearby villages in the Yangtze delta.
The Japanese plan, submitted to the conference secretariat for publication tomorrow, called for prohibition of all aerial attacks on civilians.
The Japanese plan would provide for strong guarantees against possible violation of the obligations of any disarmament treaty by one or more countries.
This clause was obviously intended to guard against the possibility of China or Russia signing a disarmament convention and then acting contrary to the terms of the agreement.
The Japanese program dealt at length with the implements of war which have been used ln the struggle at Shanghai, where Jap-

Japan agreed to use the league preparatory commission's draft disarmament convention as a basis for discussion.
She expressed a demand that limitation or reducUon of air forces must be executed in a manner rectifying the inequalities of existing air forces. This clause was understood to be Intended to protect the Japanese air force, which Tokio clams is far Inferior to the forces of other countries.
The Japanese proposed prohibition of airplane decks on war vessels, except aircraft carriers, which Japan favors abolishing completely when her foregoing point is realized.

The Chinese troops, believed to Include part of Gen. Chiang Kai-shek's army, were entrenched behind strong fortifications to meet the advance of Japanese tanks and infantry under direction of Gen. KenklchI Uyeda.
The sky was overcast and the battle area was muddy, handicapping the attacking troops and aerial bombers. Tazang lies west of Klangwan, where Chinese forces have held out against every Japanese attack.
The Japanese moved westward from Thienlo divisional headquarters, north of Klangwan, attempting to carry out their encircling movement around the Chinese from Klangwan to Chapei.
The Chapel front was quiet, contrasting with the terrific Chinese bombardment last night which terrorized the entire Ih-ternational settlement and endangered American, Japanese, British, and Italian warships in the Whangpoo river. The Japanese positions In Chapei were unchanged.
Japanese airplanes twice bombed the Hungjlano ardrome soutlh-west of the French concession this morning, making two direct hits. The Chinese claimed all their planes were removed from the hangars a week ago.
Three bombers participated in an attack on the airdrome at 9:30 a. m., and flve bombers and three pursuit plane escorts made another attack at 11:30. The debris of the shattered buildings was thrown high Into the air.
United Stat ok warships In the Whangpoo river and American residents of the International settlement were in the line of the most severe bombardment of the Shanghai warfare earlier today when Chinese artillery in Chapei opened up on the Japanese fleet.
An eight-inch railroad gun at the north station and a Chinese artillery battery nearby shelled the w aterfront for two hours, drop-ing high explosives near Ihe Japanese flagship Idzuwa and the llalian warship Libia.

The ceremonies at the capitol marked the formal opening of similar demonstrations in thousands of other cities throughout the country where observance of the birthday anniversary ls to continue until Thanksgiving day.
A brilliant crowd of distinguished national leaders had gathered in the house long before the president's arrival. The statesmen ln formal morning wear sat with dip' Ionia!« from all nations ln colorful uniforms, the army and navy chiefs of America in military costume.
Pasadena Jaysee Is First Opponent Of Women Debaters
Opening the season’s debate schedule, S.C. women participated 1 na non-decision contest with the women's team of Pasadena Junior college ln opposition on Friday afternoon. The BUbJect of the debate was ‘'Resolved, that congress should enact legislation providing for the central control of Industry (constitutionally waived).”
Phyllis Norton and Dorothy Foulger in Pasadena defended the affirmative for S.C. Celeste Strack and Anne Jenkins met the Pasadena team on this campus and upheld the negative side of the question.
The S.C. team will engage in a series of debates beginning this week with schools of the southern California league which includes Occidental, Pomona, Whittier and California Christian college.
Sam Barry will prepare this week for the championship tilt with thc Golden Bears. Nibs Price’s men won over Stanford Saturday and tied with Southern California for the lead. Saturday evening Uie two quintets will tangle ln Oakland for the right to meet Wash tngton Stale for the Pacific Coast title.
STAGE RALLY
As in every game this year be tween both institutions, the fray was a humdinger. In the last half S.C. came back and staged a courageous rally that left every onp gasping for breath by ita ferocity and relentlessnpss.
Behind at half time by a 22-14 score, tho men of Troy started an offensive drive that netted them 21 points ln the second half. Ucla only scored nine.
It was a beautiful sight to watch Nemer. Elliott, Ersklne, Bescos, and Capps playing all over the floor and outmaneuvering the Westwood men.
GOOD GUARDING Captain Jack Gardner came In toward the end of the firat half and momentarily halted the wild Blue and Gold shooters by contributing valuable points to Southern California’s total.
Probably another outstanding point that won for S.C. was the sensational guarding of Julie Bescos and Cliff Capps. These two men roved all over the court and intercepted the ball many times to break up Westwood plays. Sax Elliott roamed far and wide mak Ing himself a pain In the neck to his opponents.
NEMER AGGRE88IVE Nemer played rather loosely In the first half by letting his mau get. away from him, but in the second period he came back and played an aggressive game.
"* Although they trounced the Bears three times out of four, the Trojans will meet a flve next Sat urday night that has shown tremendous improvement over their last, meeting. It will be the fastest game that the two squads have played this season and will undoubtedly pack the Oakland pavilion to Its capacity.
S. C.-Caltech Meet In Decision Debate
S. C. will meet the California Institute of Technology in the flrst decision debate of the season, tonight. Debating the ncga tive side of the question, ‘Re solved: that congress should enact legislation providing for the centralized control of industry, Emil Steck Jr. and Hyrum White will go to Pasadena to represent S.C.
Thursday night, Caliech will send a negative team here, according to Lockwood Miller, Trojan debate manager.
The dual debate ls an annual event.
