JAPANESE PEACE PROPOSALS, MILITARY DRIVE SIMULTANEOUS
SHANGHAI, Tuesday, Nov. 23—(U.P.)—Japan brought her peace offensive into the open today but simultaneously redoubled her military attacks on Chinese armies in the Yangtse valley in an effort to hasten a break in Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek’s all-China anti-Japanese front which
■•¥ might make possible an early truce. A Japanese spokesman revealed that the first Japanese airplane which had flown over Nanking since the Chinese government began to abandon its central capital dropped a letter at 2 p.m. yesterday addressed to the Chinese generalissimo urging him to surrender. PLANES FIRE ON TROOPS The plane dropped no bombs but it was followed by others which backed Japanese “suggestion” with a roar of explosives and machine gun fire on Chinese reinforcements marching toward the battle front west of Shanghai.
The spokesman declined to reveal the text of the letter to the generalissimo, asserting that it was “a personal letter to Chiang Kai-Shek from the Japanese military and naval authorities. All we can say it that we asked the general surrender of Chiang and his army. No reply nas been received to the letter yet because there has not been sufficient time.”
ENFORCED NEUTRALITY The municipal government of the Shanghai international settlement agreed in part to Japan’s demands that the foreign areas of Shanghai observe meticulous neutrality ln connection with the war. It was understood that widely known Chinese leaders of the anti-Japanese movement in refuge in the settlement. including T. V. Soong, governor of the Bank of China and chair-
Motorcade Follows Team To Station
By Herbert Klein
With the shriek of a whistle and the strains of “Alma Mater,” approximately 250 loyal Trojan rooters cheered their team out of the station yesterday afternoon, as the Trojan special left the Southern Pacific station on its way to South Bend for the Southem Califomia-Notre Dame game Saturday.
Flying cardinal and gold streamers and blasting horns identified the Trojan motorcade as it followed the team and band buses from the university to the station.
RALLY 18 SHORT
Because the parade was late in arriving at the station, the rally was short and none of the players were able to speak to the students. Coach Howard Jones. hoWever. stated that Southem California teams have always given Notre Dame a good battle and that he hoped the 1937 varsity would be no exception.

With the arrival of the band at the station. Bob Myer. cheer leader, led the assembled Trojans in “Fight On” and the “Big T.” “March On” w'as sung just before Coach Jones was introduced. As the train started to leave the station, Myer and his assistants, Ron Cooley and Ed Davis, led the rallyers in a cheer for the varsity and in the singing of “Alma Mater.”
DRIVERS ARE CAREFUL
Despite the fact that the promised motorcycle escort failed to arrive, the paraders found little difficulty in threading their way through traffic. Driving Was much more careful than it has been on previous motorcades, stated Myer.

FIGHTING CONTINUES Anti-British sentiment still ran high in Tokyo, where the bulk of the Japanese people believe that Britain is giving all the assistance to China that she can, thus “prolonging the war.”
Fighting continued on a long front west of Shanghai but a Japanese military spokesman insisted that Chinese morale had been broken and that the Japanese armed forces would be able to occupy Nanking within a few Weeks if they wish to do so.
Seven new members of the University Religious conference student board were announced last night by John Glass, chairman of the organization.
Cooperating with Gardiner Pollich, ASUSC president, Glass selected the new members on the basis of their qualifications for the positions, and will instruct the seven in their impending duties when the board convenes for its third meeting of the year tonight at 7:30 o’clock.
SEVEN APPOINTED
Included among the students who were appointed to fill vacancies made by members who did not return to school or were unable to take part in the group’s activities are Dick Barton, Squire, and member of the Phi Kappa Psi and Phi Epsilon Sigma fraternities; Neal Deasy, president of last year’s freshman class, and member of the 1937 Brotherhood day committee; Roberta Gist, active in the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority; Jim Hastings, Squire, and member of the U.S.C. flying squadron; Elaine Holbrook, debate team; lone Hooven.

North, superintendent of education in Catholic schools in this diocese, will lead a forum on “Religion as a Part of the Complete Education.”
Because of his conviction that religious enlightment is an integral part of true education, Father North has taken a prominent part in spreading the idea so that several institutions in this area have started courses in accordance with the belief.

Senate Group Move*
To Invoke Act Against Japan, China
WASHINGTON, Nov. 22—
The senate neutrality bloc consolidated its forces tonight in a drive to force President Roosevelt to invoke the neutrality act against China and Japan concurrently With reports that the state department would protest vigorously lf Japan infringes upon foreign right* in Shanghai.
The bloc, composed chiefly of Senators Gerald P. Nye, R., N. D., Arthur H. Vandenberg. R„ Mich., Homer T. Bone. D„ Wash., and Bennett C. Clark, D., Mo., hopes to arouse enough senate sentiment to obtain passage of a resolution calling upon the president to declare that China and Japan are at war. This, they believe, would make it mandatory that the chief executive invoke the neutrality law. SHANGHAI WATCHED

Thief Takes $20 In Robbery At Pi Phi House
For the second time this week, a 28th street sorority house was burglarized as a thief entered the Pi Beta Phi house and stole $20 in cash last night.
The thief gained access to the second floor of the house during the dinner hour, and withdrew without being discovered by the residents. No clue to the identity of the burglar had been discovered by detectives working on the case last night.
Saturday night, under similar circumstances, the Kappa Alpha Theta house was burglarized. On that occasion. the extent of the theft was 60 cents.
Since the beginning of the semester, sorority and fraternity houses have been entered intermittently by thieves. The burglaries have been attributed to a gang of thieves, who are systematically working fraternity row, by 28th street residents.
No arrests have been made in connection with the series of thefts.

The spokesman declined to reveal the text of the letter to the generalissimo, asserting that it was “a personal letter to Chiang Kai-Shek from the Japanese military and naval authorities. All we can say it that we asked the general surrender of Chiang and his army. No reply nas been received to the letter yet because there has not been sufficient time.” ENFORCED NEUTRALITY The municipal government of the Shanghai international settlement agreed in part to Japan’s demands that the foreign areas of Shanghai observe meticulous neutrality ln connection with the war.

Flying cardinal and gold streamers and blasting horns identified the Trojan motorcade as it followed the team and band buses from the university to the station.

Yang Hu, of the centra! supervisory committee of the Kuomintang (Nationalist political party) and others would be asked to leave as soon as possible. FIGHTING CONTINUES Anti-British sentiment still ran high in Tokyo, where the bulk of the Japanese people believe that Britain is giving all the assistance to China that she can, thus “prolonging the war.” Fighting continued on a long front west of Shanghai but a Japanese military spokesman insisted that Chinese morale had been broken and that the Japanese armed forces would be able to occupy Nanking within a few Weeks if they wish to do so. Seven new members of the University Religious conference student board were announced last night by John Glass, chairman of the organization.

NEUTRAL Senator Gerald P. Nye who is a leader in the senate bloc which is moving to invoice the neutrality act against Japan and China. Senate Group Move* To Invoke Act Against Japan, China WASHINGTON, Nov. 22— The senate neutrality bloc consolidated its forces tonight in a drive to force President Roosevelt to invoke the neutrality act against China and Japan concurrently With reports that the state department would protest vigorously lf Japan infringes upon foreign right* in Shanghai. The bloc, composed chiefly of Senators Gerald P. Nye, R., N. D., Arthur H. Vandenberg. R„ Mich., Homer T. Bone. D„ Wash., and Bennett C. Clark, D., Mo., hopes to arouse enough senate sentiment to obtain passage of a resolution calling upon the president to declare that China and Japan are at war. This, they believe, would make it mandatory that the chief executive invoke the neutrality law.
