Vaughn, former Far Eastern manager of the United Press, told a luncheon of civic organizations here today. . The greatest danger of American Ameri-can involvement, Vaughn said, was during the period when Chinese Chi-nese airplanes were raiding the Japanese navy in the Whangpoo river off the waterfront of the Anglo-American area of Shanghai's Shang-hai's International Settlement. It was that series of raids, plus the fire of Chinese artillery in the Chapel area of Shanghai, the bombing of the American passenger pas-senger ship President Hoover, the explosion of a shell on the U.S. flagship Augusta, and the incidental inci-dental explosion of shells ashore. that brought the gravest danger of an anti-American outrage which might cause our involvement involve-ment in the conflict, Vaughn said. a Rotarians To Hear Utaih Labor Leader fWnat Labor Expects and WantsT will 'the' subject of a talk at -the.

Eggertsen Cluff of Salt Lake City in addressing Klwanians Thursday. Attorney Cluff reviewed the history of the constitution, interpreted inter-preted parts of it, and discussed its function. The constitution cannot be of aid to everyone at every time, he said, but always it stands as a standard on which the United States is run. Much dispute is centered about the constitution, he said, but the same is true about everything. For instance, he said, the Golden Rule, simple, concise and positive, is very difficult when applied, and it causes many questions to arise. The proposed establishment of a R. O. T.
