The I Governor and Pendergast began to j draw apart last spring when the for-; mer wanted to discharge state in- j surance commissioner R. E. O’Malley, a personal and political friend of the Missouri boss. Two weeks ago O'Malley was discharged and within 48 hours Stark opened the breach further by appointing a Kansas City election board, none of whose members bore Pendergast's endorsement and three of whom were definitely hostile to Jackson county leader. Civic groups had put tremendous pressure on Stark for a non-parti-san board after federal posecutlons still underway, had convicted more ' than 50 persons of election frauds in Pendergast s home territory. o Assess Members To Fight Henry Ford Detroit, Nov. 4—(U.R>—The United Automobile Workers of Amer- 1 ice today announced an assessment of SI.OO per member to finance its organization drive in the plants of the Ford Motor company.

PLAN DISTRICT FOR REFUGEES Chinese Agree To Demili-, tarization Os Part Os Nantao Shanghai, Nov. 4.— (U.R) Chinese military authorities agreed today to the demilitarization of a part of Nantao. in the Chinese native section, from which all military activities would be excluded. The section to -be demilitarized, a district where refugees could live without fear of aerial or artillery bombardments, comprised onethird of Nantao, a horseshoe-shap-ed territory around the French concession. The spokesman declined to reveal the Chinese conditions under | which the terirtory was set aside I for non-mllitary purposes. Although the Japanese already have agreed to the proposal in principle, it was believed there still would be considerable discussion since it was understood that a I Chinese condition was that Chinese troops retain control of the Nantao bund for strategic purposes. The Japanese opposed that condl- ; tion vigorously. It was understood that the district would be patrolled by Chinese police. The Chinese spokesman emphasized that if the agreement is concluded it will be done so by a i third party and not directly with Japan. o Tax Studv Commission Is Named By Townsend Indianapolis.
