Dean; Interview Granted

in the F7aClfEast.

The '78-year-old churchmen came home Monday night from a tour of China.

The Dean was appointed in 1031 by Labor Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald. He cannot be dismissed unless he commits a civil or ecclesiastical offence.

The House of Lords question will be put by Lord Ammon. a Labor peer, who says the Dean's statements are "liable to create ill-feeling with other nations and bring the established church into contempt. and disrepute.

Produces Scroll

Dr. Johnson, at his press con- ference. produced a 12-yard-long scroll of Chinese characters.

"Here," he said, "is the voice of millions of Chinese Christiana. This mass voice removes at once the charge so often made that the allegations of germ warfare are merely Communist propaganda emerging from Moscow."

The scroll. he said, is a letter and manifesto signed by 410 Christian church leaders in China.

The Dean also produced other letters in Chinese and a photo- stat copy or a long confession he claimed was made by two United States airmen prisoners of war. He named them as John Aclnn and Kenneth L. Enoch.

Most important to him. he said, was the iimasslve evidence" of the Christian churches of China. Chi- nese parsons lied seen flies. mos- quitoes and spiders on the snow at a season when such insects could not have existed.

The Dean said Chinese children are being trained to combat germ warfare.

Sometimes prompted with whis- pers from his 46-year-old artist wife, the Dean faced a. barrage of questions from 60 British and U.8. reporters.

Why wouldn't the Chinese agree to an International Red-Cross in- vestigation? Because. he replied. the international committee was made up largely of Swiss. It was not a representative body. he added.

Saw No Victims

Had he seen anybody who'con- tracted a disease? No. but he said, he saw the brains of two children dead from encephalitis. an unusual disease for the time

Senator's Forces Win Victories On Credentials

By Dougie: Cornell

CHICAGO. July 8 - (AP) - The tense struggle of Senator Ro- bert A. Taft and Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower for the Republican presidential nomination had their partisans scrapping at every turn and corner tonight for the needed delegates to win.

They tangled with bitter words before the credentials committee whose first five decisions went to delegates predominantly favor- ing Taft. Of the 44 delegates giv- en the committee blessing today, 39 are regarded as pro-Taft, two for Eisenhower and three uncom- mitted.

Tomorrow the frantic pulling and hauling over vital seats will be transferred to the floor of the convention itself. , Tonight former President Her- bert Hoover aroae to bring roar after roar from the assembled Re- publlcans with a grim denuncia- tion of the Democrats.

They have "lost the peace" with

their foreign policy, he charged, End GE-it-rolled ”ln Fascist fash- ion" the ramparts of freedom at home. While the party's elder states- mall spoke, partisans of Eisen- hower and Taft wooed the un- committed delegates and those backing the dark horse hopefuls. There was a report from a prominent member of Pennsyl- vanla's 70-vote delegation that Eisenhower was making progress there. Samuel S. Lewis. delega- tion secretary. told reporters he believes the state will cast 55 votes for Eisenhower when the roll is called.

Earlier. 35 votes from Pennsyl- vania had been llsted in Eisen- hower's camp alid 26 in Taft's with 10 uncpmmlttgda ,

Governor John 85 ills of Penn. sylvania said he intends to an- nounce his personal preference to- morrow. The scramble for dele- gates was going on in a hundred hotel rooms in downtown Chicago

Briiish Press Devoles Space To Convention

LONDON, July 8 - (Reuters) - The British press devoted column after column of thin editions today to reports and comments on the Republican national convention in Chicago.

Under a double-column head- line. "The Great MacArthur Proves A Flovp,", The Evening Standard said that delegates went home af- ter hearlng the General's keynote address "obviously feeling that the hero had been a bit of a bore."

The paper's correspondent said that Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower”: victory on the disputed delegates issue dealt Senator Robert Taft "a straight left on the chin which will send him into the presidential ballot round a little more groggy than is good for his prospects."

Editorially, The Evening Stand- ard said that MacA.rthur's speech "made it more than ever necessary that Britain should look after her own defences and build up her own

LONDON. July 'B-(Reuiers)- Tile pound sterling today sudden- ly turned strong against both the Canadian and United States dol- lars. Sterling was in demand. and

Against the U. 8. dollar, ling at the week-end to barely above its of 2.75 dollars. well above 2.79. .

Against the Canadian dollar it jumped from the low'marlu of 2.675 last Friday and Saturday to 2.70 today. The premium of the

Canadian dollar over the U. S. dollar fell to less than 3 U2 cents. This is still abnormally

high, but it compares with a pre- mium of more than fours cents at one time yesterday.

Various dealers and experts sug- gested the following reasons for this sterling rally:

1. The natural recovery from the overdone fall of last. week-and and from the pessimism aflar Prime Minister Churchill's speech last month in which he said that Britain was economically on a "treacherous rap-door."

2. "Coverlnl by speculators. On the theory that if anything were

going to happen to sterling if

very careful consideration before we take any action.” he said.

Pound Sterling Suddenly Shows Burst Of Strength

speculators tend to sell late in the week. They have to buy back early in the next week. when no- thing liali happened.

. 3. Reaction from some exagger- ated ideal of last week. Some of last week's boosilng arguments for the Canadian dollar. for ex- ample, were fully justified. Some others were preposterous.

4. Less pessimism about British Industrial prospects, following better overnight reports on fuel and employment.

5. A feeling that

the British

Government's remedies 'are be- latedly beginning to work. 0. Tlghtness of money. Some

London banks may be refraining from holding their full permitted lines of dollars because they can use the money better in London.

7. Attention drawn to new in- flationary developments in the U. S. These may relatively strengthen sterling against the dollar even though the July-Ssp- (ember quarter is seasonally ad- verse to sterling.

ll. A returning sense of propor- tion. For example. the sterling area's deficit of about 342,000,000 a month with the European Pay- ments Union is serious and costly. But it must be compared with the sterling-area's turnover with the E.P.U. area. which reaches
