Proceed With Occupation of China's Main Mun'tions Gateway. CANTON. (Saturday). VP). The Japanese conquerors of Canton, birthplace of Chinese nationalism, deployed in force Saturday thru-out the city, confident of complete occupation without firing a shot The south China metropolis was captured Friday afternoon after one of the most astounding campaigns of modern warfare a victory in which a comparatively small but highly mobile and formidably equipped column sidestepped hundreds of thousands of Chinese soldiers.

Pointed by corps of tanks, their turreted guns inactive, the column swung into the virtually deserted city shortly after noon. Behind the tanks rolled a train of trucks loaded with infantrymen. There was little or no disorder among the 60,000 civilians who remained in the once teeming metropolis to meet the invaders. The Chinese stared impassively at the newcomers. The Japanese, with fixed bayonets, stared back and Canton was a fallen city.

Observers Amazed. As the occupation of Canton proceeded Saturday, amazed military observers sought to evaluate the ten day old south China invasion as it related to the 15 months old Chinese Japanese and particulaarly the months long encroachment on Hankow, Chinese military capital some 500 miles to the north. Foreign observers always have maintained that Japan must take both Canton and Hankow to achieve real victory. With the capture of Canton the task perhaps was half done. Canton not only had been the principal gateway into China for military supplies used against the Japanese, but was the only major port left for other Chinese commerce.

The full Import of the choking of this artery of supplies was not yet apparent, for against the possibility of losing Canton the Chinese several months ago started a highway from Burma to Yunnan in extreme southwestern China. This highway must be nearly if not yet complete. A Railway, from Hanoi, French Indo-China, to Yunnan, capital of the province of that name, also was still available. First Invasion Since 1858.

Burke predicted the next congress would revise the national labor relations act, "altho not to the extent it should be," "The senate is overwhelmingly In favor of revision, I believe the president is, and Senator Wagner, the author of the act, now says he will not oppose its amendment," the senator said in remarks following a formal address before the annual meeting of the Colorado state chamber of commerce.

La Guardia said, "is that we must have complete co-operation and co-ordination with the federal government. That transcends any political advantage of the moment."

Chancellor Believes Generalized Education Becoming More Necessary.1 Revision of the curriculums of professional colleges to provide training in the humanities and social sciences was urged by Chancellor Boucher Friday night in a speech before 175 engineering instructors from universities in Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa and South Dakota. Speaking at the annual banquet of the Society for the Promotion of Engineering Education held in the Student Union, the chancellor asserted the need fbr a generalized education for the undergraduate is becoming commonly recognized. To support his contention, Boucher read statements from heads of technical trainlrifc schools, all of which pointed out the necessity for generalized training as a basis for specialization.

"The educational business has been allowed to get away with murder for many yeaTs by appealing for public support on the sa-credness of knowledge, youth's right to learning, and a blind faith in educational process." Boucher predicted taxpayers in the future would study education more critically and would demand that educators demonstrate the usefulness of their "product." Prof. Earnest Boyce of Kansas university, president of the S. P. E. E.

Wage-Hour Administrator Condenms Shutting Down of Plants. WASHINGTON. UP). The wage and hour administration, accusing- a "small minority" of employers of shutting down their plants in an effort to discredit the new wage-hour law and intimidate its ad ministrators, served notice that the statute would be enforced uniformly and compellingly. Administrator Elmer F.

Andrews pointed out in -a-formar" statement, to the press that the law provided heavy penalties for and he said his office had no choice but to carry out the will of congress. Declaring the willingness of the vast majority of employers to cooperate had re-enforced his determination to enforce the statute uniformly, Andrews denounced those few who, he said, were claiming preposterous exemptions or shutting down their plants to avoid compliance. The new law, providing in general for a mini mum work week of 44 hours in interstate commerce, goes into effect Monday. Says Suspensions 'Timed. Some shutdowns which employers have attributed to the statute have actually resulted from the completion of seasonal operations, the administrator said, and in' some instances plants have been run at capacity for weeks to build up inventories "preparatory to a shutdown which would be blamed on the fair labor standards act." "These suspensions of operations seem to have been timed in an effort to bring the law into disrepute," Andrews continued, "evidently with the hope of intimidating the wage and hour division in its administration of the law's provisions." He added that the, small and scattered "minority" was trying to blame the wage-hour act for "their own anti-social conduct." As exa ples of "delinquents," he said one employer had requested that 80 percent of his 275 workers, now paid between S3 and $8 weekly, be classified as "learners" so they could continue to be paid less than the statutory 25 cent an hour minimum wage.

Many of these workers had been employed by the company four years, he added. Another employer would clans every employe over 40 as "handicapped" and therefore exempt from wage provisions of the law, (Continued on Page 8, Col. 3.)
