WASHINGTON, Aug. 10 (UP) Withdrawal of British troops from Shanghai may mark an end to the British policy of appeasement in the far east and a beginning: of a stronger stand against Japan by both the United States and Great Britain, dip lomatic circles believed today. These sources said the withdrawal might have appeared on the surface to be another concession to Japan but might also have been done to clear the decks for action in a last-ditch defense of the British Crown Colony of Hong Kong. Military and naval experts agreed with this view. They pointed out that the British forces at Shanghai, Piep ing and Tientsin constituted only a handful of men in those exposed posi tions and probably would have been sacrificed immediately if actual hostil ities had broken out. The same num ber of men, withdrawn to the forti fied works of Hong Kong, would af ford greatly needed reinforcements at that post, these experts said. A stiffening of the combined American-British stand in the far east was seen in the announcement by Acting Secretary of State Sumner Welles that the British withdrawal from Shanghai would have no effect what ever on the American policies and ac tions in China. The announcement came simultan eous with the delivery to the Japanese ambassador here the reply to Japan's recent protest over the embargo on aviation gasoline shipments outside this hemisphere. Texts of the protest and the reply were not made public but it was reported that the United States supported its embargo orders by strongly reiterating that high test aviation gasoline is vital to na tional defense. Welles' announcement indicated that U. S. marines will remain on guard at the international settlement Shanghai where they have been sta tioned since 1927. It was believed the defense positions being vacated by the British troops would be taken" tip jointly by the U. S. marines and the Shanghai volunteer force. Welles said he had r.o knowledge of a report that additional marines were en route from Honolulu to rein force the Shanghai garrison. He tough such action was highly im probable. Military observers said reinforce ments would be unnecessary, since the force there is sufficient for the purely nominal protection of the internation al settlement, even without the pres ence of the British troops They added that it would require a full-sized army to render anything more than nominal protection against Japanese forces, since Japan has several hun dred thousand trons in that vicinity.

MUSIC ON JOB SPEEDS WOKK OF MUNITIONS LONDON (UP) They're making shells to the tunes of Rachmaninoff and Chopin these days, and It's a great sit with the workers. With reports Indicating that where music is played as an accompani ment to work, output has increased by an amount ranging between 6 and 12 per cent, many factories through out the country have Introduced "fac tory concerts" for their employes. In addition to loudspeakers and gramaphone music, well-known art ists are giving recitals in factory canteens at lunch intervals and some times even at midnight. In the pro grams of the performers usually a singer and a pianist it has been noted that Chopin and Rachmaninoff are particularly appreciated. Employers have found that in repetitive work where concentration is not essential music reduces the workers' fatigue. Says a research officer of the Brit ish National Institute of Industrial Psychology, who has been studying the effect of "factory concerts": "One trouble is that when there is a definite rhythm imposed by the machine the music must be selected. "There are a great many jobs where music cannot possibly inter fere with the work, and actually proves very beneficial. Music may be used as an antidote to boredom." YOUNGEST MOTHER IN HISTORY CHICAGO, Aug. 8 (UP) Lina Medina, 5, proclaimed by South Am erican physicians as "the youngest mother in history," will be Nought to the United States by airplane with in a month for examination by a five man medical commission, Richard S.

APPEAL DAMAGE CASE LINCOLN, Aug. 10 (UP) An ap peal was filed with the supreme court today from an Otoe district court udgment awarding $1,900 to Ray Parks for injuries suffered in an automobile accident near Avoca, Sep tember 15, 1939.

Former Treasury Adviser Believes 22 Billion Will Be Limit Buy ing Exceeds Production. STANFORD UNIVERSITY, C a I. (UP) The United States soon will be unable to purchase and store the world's gold for the reason there will be no more gold to purchase, according to Dr. Franklin Ebersole, former economic adviser to the treas ury and professor of finance at Yale. Dr.s Ebersole told the Fourth An nual Stanford Business Conference here that there is only $27,000,000, 000 of monetary gold in the world, and that more than $20,000,000,000 of this is held by the United States government. He understood, he said, that it is the policy of the administration to purchase another $2,000,000,000, leaving only $5,000,000,000 in the rest of the world. Ebersole expressed his doubt the United States would be able to pur chase more than this additional two billion for the reason that certain countries like England and France, who believe in a solid currency, vill refuse to let the last of their gold be drained from them. "The United States has been pur chasing gold faster than it can be dug from the mines," Ebersole said. "The gold mines of the world are ex pected to produce only $1,000,000, 000 in gold this year. "California leads the nation in gold production, having mined 5, 593,425 fine ounces in 1939, valued at $195,769,000." Were the United States to con tinue its policy of purchasing and '.hoarding gold, there would not be enough left outside the vaults to sup- port America's foreign trade. Ebersole explained that naturally all of the gold held by the treasury does not belong to the United States. Much of it is the property of the Federal Reserve bank, of various for eign governments and individuals. As a consequence, only a small part of it is available. The United States is merely the custodian of gold other than her own. t , With the United States a,nd Great Britain producing large quantities of gold, Ebersole does not think they will go off the gold standard, but feels that the great problem to be solved is to prevent this boarding of gold from ruining America's foreign trade. "Unless some substitute for gold is found as a medium of exchange," Ebersole declared, "the United States may have difficulty in competing with an Influx of cheap foreign goods unloaded here at a loss in order that American dollars thereby gained may be exchanged at a profit as they be come scarcer in Europe. Hoard Likened to Chips The United States and its gold supply are like a poker player with all the chips in the game and no place to cash in." Ebersole suggested as a partial solution that the United States begin buying such strategic materials as tin, rubber, manganese, cromium, and a hair dozen others. "Such a program," he said, "might be wiser than purchasing gold. We could, in any event, use the strategic materials, and in the end it might be that we couldn't use the gold. Anyway, we are not doing very much with it the way it is." He believes the gold would prove to be readily acceptable by poor na tions which have strategic materials for sale. "In any event, the fork of the road is in sight," he declared, "and the United States has to take one course or the other." ELEPHANT CLEARS TRAFFIC UKIAH, Cal.

CALL SWISS TROOPS ZURICH, Switzerland, Aug. 10 (UP) The army general stag has called three brigades to report for duty Aug. 19 and five cavalry squad rons to report August 26, it was an nounced today. The call was explain ed cn the ground that the new men would replace men now with the arm ed forces. It was announced also that interned French soldiers would be transferred within the next few days to eastern Switzerland. The reason was not giv en but it was assumed that the move was intended to clear important strat egic positions. Also, however, there are few opportunities for employment where the interned men now are, in the Bernese Oberland. It was not made known how many men were being called for the army, but it was said that the total on duty would not be increased. MEXICO APPROVES CONSCRIPTION MEXICO CITY, Aug. 9 (UP) A compulsory military service bill was approved by the chamber of deputies early today and sent to the senate where final passage was be lieved certain within a few days. President Lazaro Cardenas has urged passage of the bill to permit Mexico "to face the critical world situation caused by the European war and to provide adequate protec tion for our people." Under the bill, males from 18 to 45 years inclusive kare subject to at least one year of military service effective January 1. Men who failed to comply would be forbidden to marry or to go abroad, and transportation com panies would be subject to fines if they carried untrained men to for eign countries. HE PROPOSES; 872 LISTEN TREASURE ISLAND, Cal. (UP) When Richard M.

(UP) Walter Brooks didn't buy the Empire State build ing or the Brooklyn bridge, but he might have just as well, because he won't get to keep the 10 acres of city park that he bought near Roff either. Brooks wanted 10 acres of ground near Roff and chose the property from a tax resale list. After bidding for the 10 acres, he went to the location of the property and found that he had bought Roff's city park. Through a mistake that hasn't been accounted for yet, the park property had been listed on the tax rolls. So Brooks will get his money back and Roff will keep its park.
