New Observatory
To Be Built in Michigan
ANN ARBOR— (88—New secrets of
the sun and stars may be discovered
through erection of an astronomical
observatory at the University of Mich-
igan here. TO be equipped with a
34-inch Schmidt-type reflecting tele-
scope, this observatory la expected to
be completed within the year.
One of the world's centers for solar
research is the McMath-Hulbert Ob-
servatory, operated by the University
near Pontiac. During the war, in-
vestigators at this observatory devel-
oped the bombsight used by the Navy.
Today reports of solar activity secured
here are vital in making up-to-date
predictions as to whether shortwave
radio broadcasts will come through
clearly or be blacked out.

China’s Co-ops
Face Collapse,
Funds Sought
SHANGHAI, Feb. 30.—(F>—China's
industrial co-operatives, begun in
wartime by an American and Mip-
ported by contributions from many
parts of the world, are threatened
with collapse.
“Indusco Is broke and unless money
comes in soon, 318 co-operatives scat-
tered throughout Chin* are likely to
go under,” says acting executive sec-
retary Max Bickerton.
In March. Indusco’s bank reserve
in Hong Kong will be exhausted, and
will be unable to meet the 84.000 (U.
5.) monthly budget, he says.
U. 8. Funds Short
Basic reason Is the failure of a
campaign to raise funds in the United
State* last year.
Another is a recent ruling by a
Chinese-American advisory commit-
tee that Indusco is not entitled to
funds from the state department's
China relief mission because it is not
a direct relief agency.
“Ours Is a program of productive
relief rather than giving out bags of
rice. We help Chinese to help them-
selves,” says Bickerton.
The co-operatives were started 10
years ago on a suggestion by Mrs.
Edgar Snow. The idea was to replace
China's wartorn industries and to
provide consumer goods and employ-
ment for jobless refugees. In its early
stages the work was pushed by a New
Zealander, Rewi Alley, now director
of the Balllie school north of Lan-
chow. Kansu province, where youths
are trained for co-operative work.
Seven Start Co-Op
Alley began In Paochl. a town on
the Lunghai railway, where with some
difficulty he rounded up seven jobless
refugee blacksmiths, gave them a talk
on co-operation, and put them to
work.
This co-operative is still going.
Hundreds of others sprang up to make
matches, weave cloth, press vegetable
oil, make paper, leather goods, and
process foods.
Today textile co-operatives are moot
numerous. The fisheries co-op is the
biggest, with 900 members.
It takes at least seven persons to
start a co-op. If they are too poor to
put up the necessary capital. Indusco
lends it to them, to be repaid at the
end of the first year.
Workers Like Plan
Such small workshops flourished
during the war. At one time 2,000
unite were turning out blankets and
clothes for soldiers.
There are fewer today because
Indusco is concentrating on finan-
cially sound groups.
“Co-operatives have bred a spirit of

Hazard’ Rushed
Gloria Grahame, who ranks with
Angela Lansbury as one of the
youngest gals ever to get an acad-
emy nomination, sings “Paradise"
in her new film, “The Long Denial."
As I watched her atng the number,
it made me think she is the right
actress to inherit the mantle of the
person who introduced the song—
Jean Harlow.
Paramount is planning a hurry-
up release of "Hazard,” with Mac-

more build-up for Carey, who also

Irish Chief Asked for Death,
Got Prison, War—Finally Fame
By CHAELE8 N. WHEELER
CHICAGO, Feb. 20—(CDN)—When the true history of the last
phase of the struggle for Ireland’s independence is written, one
name will lead all the rest—Eamon de Valera’s.
It also will record that few leaders in all Ireland’s history
equaled him in sheer Intellect and perhaps none excelled him.
A boundless, cold unemotional in-*----

olutlonary career—why he never yield- he clambered over the barri-
compromise _*nd stood un- CMde. approached the British officer
‘ ‘ and said In a firm, calm ton*:
“I am De Valera. Shoot me, but
spare my men.”
The other commandanta, including
the pale-faced poet Padralc Pearce,
were shot at Mount Joy prison, but De
Valera waa given a life sentence on
the grounds of his American birth. He
was reprieved in the general amnesty.
When the officer came to set him
free, he looked up and said evenly:
“Thank you,” and resumed his reading
of St. Augustine's Confessions."
Escape Plan Clever
Late that year he was elected pres-
ident of Sinn Fein (Ourselves Alone).
The Sinn Fetners' activity led to his
arrest and deportation to an English
jail, from which he escaped and came
to the United States to float a 86,000,-
000 loan.
This escape is still being told Irish
children. De Valera managed to get
some of the prison keys. He sent a
couple of humorous postals back to
Dublin. On one waa a rough picture
of a drunken man trying to put the
key in his home door, saying: “I can’t
get in.”
The other card carried the sketch
of the drunk trying to insert the key
into the prison lock, saying: “I can’t
get out."
The rough drawing of the keys waa
an exact duplicate of the prison keys.
“Dev** saw to that. The boys in Dublin
understood quickly. They had a key
made. A few nights later “Micky” Col-
lins, later to die opposing De Valera
In the civil war, drove up in the dark-
ness with a car. De Valera walked out
and escaped to Ireland.
Many Friends Killed
Then came his refusal to compro-
mise on a dominion status, with the
terrible civil war, in which many of
his dear friends perished.
In the general election* of Decem-
ber. 1918, Finn Feiner* carried the
elections, set up the Dail eireann (par-
liament) and elected De Valera “pres-
ident of the republic.”

wavering through everything for just
one goal—Ireland free.
Great Mathematician
At 34 years of age he and Wang of
China, delegate to the Versailles peace
. conference of 1919, perhaps were
among the few outstanding mathema-
ticians of the world.
He never used tobacco in any form,
shunned profanity and never raised
his voice high, but spoke In precise
terms, though with a little grin at
times.
He was a devout Catholic, but has
never asked of a real rebel and fighter
for a free Ireland what his religion
was. His reverence, for heroes of the
past, such as Robert Emmet, Wolfe
Tone, Lord Edward Fitzgerald, Wil-
liam Smith O’Brien and Parnell, all
Protestants, was as fervent as for
O'Connell and Sarsfield, the Catholics.
Father Disinherited
In and out of a dozen English jails,
sometimes by escape, condemned to be
shot aqd then reprieved, "on the run,"
hiding in the mountains, often half
starved, the scholar never deviated
from the good illuminated by the cold,
powerful intellect—Ireland free!
De Valera's father was a Spaniard,
lineal descendant of the lexicographer
at the court of Isabella and King
Ferdinand. He first set eyes on the
girl who was to be De Valera's mother
as she stood barefoot in an Irish
meadow, with the dew glistening in
her hair like diamond drops.
They were married. He was disin-
herited. They took passage in a slow
sailing vessel for America. "Dev" was
born in Brooklyn in 1882. His father
died and his mother sent him back
to an uncle in Ireland.
In school his teachers marveled at
his quick grasp of abstruse mathe-
matical problems, and the boy s fame
as a student spread over the country-
side.
Then the scholar took the plunge
all the way into the revolutionary
orbit. He joined the Irish volunteers,
who dedicated their lives to freeing
Ireland, and married Sinead Ni then
Fhlannagin (Jeanette Flannagan), one
of his Gaelic teachers.
‘Shoot Me, Spare My Men’
They have five sons and two daugh-
ters. Thftr home life has been an
example for all Ireland.
