The thief paid his respects to the Chi Phi fraternity by removing a wrist watch and $3 in currency from the bedroom dresser of Edward Weary. Weary placed a value of $35 on the watch. Other Chi Phis reporting losses were George Blossum, who lost $3, and Bud Auer, $3.90.
Police repeated their warnings to fraternities about leaving their doors open or unlocked at night. Burglarizing of such houses is easy, and the thief leaves few or no clues, they said.

Konoye said that better relations with America are possible if America recognizes Japan’s program for East Asia and the ‘‘peaceful” objective of the German-Italian-Jap- ers rustling in the wind, Trojans

U.S. OBSTRUCTED JAPAN
Yomiuri said that the United States, through assistance to the Chinese nationalist government, has obstructed Japan's program in East Asia.
The newspaper Ashi said that reopening by Britain of the Burma route to China would be the “prelude to a series of Anglo-American acts of opposition to Japan,” but that “all Japan should do in such a situation is take self-defense measures to the last with strong determination.”
BURMA ROAD CONSIDERED
A Hanoi dispatch in Asahi said reopening of the Burma road would not harm Japan because the Japanese army now has complete air supremacy over Yunnan and Szechwan provinces. The destruction of the Burma road by bombing is considered “very easy,” the dispatch said.

Pfiffner Writes New Textbook on Government
“Research Methods in Public Administration,” a new textbook by Dr. John M. Pfiffner, professor ol government, has just been published by the Ronald press, New York.
Mimeographed chapters of the preliminary draft of the book were tested out in classes here during 1939 and 1340 before the book was finally completed.
“Effective training in the practical operating methods and techniques of fact-finding in public administration has long been handicapped by the lack of suitable teaching materials,” Dr. Pfiffner declared.
Materials used as the basis for the text were gathered through a travel grant to him by the Rockefeller foundation in 1937. Since then he has made two nation-wide trip* to interview research expert* throughout the United States.
Dr. Pfiffner spent his sabbatical leave during the fall of 1937 interviewing federal officials in Washington. D.C. ’ In 1938 he visited those cities having citizen-supported research bureaus.
“The material is supplementary to such courses as accounting, statistics. and English composition, stated Dr. Pfiffner. “and should aid administrators and technicians.’*
