POWERS MAKE LAST FRANTIC PEACE EFFORT Japan Is Ready to Hurl Defiance at World and Seize Manchuria. WAR THREAT SOUNDED China Will Fight and Seek Aid of Soviet, Warning Given Conferees. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMS HcrlDDs-Howard Forelrn Editor WASHINGTON, Oct. 13—Today, at Washington and at Geneva, the great powers began a last desperate effort to head off a war involving 500,000,000 people and save the pacts outlawing war. Simultaneously, in the Far East, I Japan was pulling the most colossal j bluff ever risked by a modern na- j tion. But the stakes are worth it. If she wins, she stands eventually to triple the land area of her empire. Manchuria, over which Japan has fought two wars in the last thirtyfive years, has an area of 360,000 square miles. The fertile portion of eastern Mongolia adjoining has another 300,000 square miles. With Korea, annexed fifteen years ago, this would give her a total area of approximately 1,000,000 square miles. Japan proper had only 150,000. Obsession With Japan Domination over this continental back-yard of hers today is more than a mere Japanese policy. It amounts to an obsession. With it, her spokesmen say. they can grow and flourish. Without it the empire is doomed for lack of room to expand, and of vital foodstuffs and raw materials. Under no circumstances will Nippon renounce this policy. She regards it as she regards selfpreservation. She may employ jujutsu in her dealings with the other powers and with China—the Japanese definition of Jujutsu being to appear to give way in order to come back stronger—but no one expects her definitely to yield. Today, therefore, Japan grimly faces the entire world, determined to cling to what she has and to get more before she has finished. It is this which provides the thrill and the peril at Geneva and Washington this week. China Is Helpless Japan knows that China is virtually helpless. China is confronted by the most appalling disaster the world has known, with a stricken population equal to half that of the United States and an area greater than the state of New York under water. Millions are starving as a result of flood and famine. Politically, she is in chaos. Nor is Japan particularly apprehensive over what America and Europe might do. Europe is on the edge of an abyss, financially and politically. The specter of revolutions stares some of the principal powers in the face. And America, crippled by the depression, is certainly in no position to talk war—any kind of war, let alone war in China. Japan, therefore, appears to have picked her time with cunning. At home popular sentiment seems to be with the militarists, and the liberals of the cabinet must confrom or be thrown out of office. Abroad, the Japanese believe, the powders will confine themselves to protests. Russia Is Threat The one big threat is from the direction of Russia. China has warned that unless the league and America can obtain for her a ‘‘just settlement,” she will have to resort to war. Also, she has intimated, if the worst comes to the worst, she will seek the aid of her Soviet neighbors. And experience has shown that, however reluctant she may be, it is any old port in a storm. But two can play this game as well as one. It would be surprising if Japan did not seek an understanding with Russia, in the event of war, and if she got it the result for China probably would be the loss of all her territory north the Great Wall—that is to say, Mongolia and Manchuria in their entirety. MOTHER LOVE WINS IN DEATH: SON IS FREED Muncie Woman Killed by Car in Rushing to His Aid. Her errand of mercy balked by an automobile accident which claimed her life, Mrs Daisy Shrewsbury, 47, Muncie, today had accomplished her mission, even in death. While rushing to Newcastle from Muncie Saturday in an effort to win freedom for her son, Clarence Vores, Muncie attorney, held on a liquor cha. re at Newcastle, the automobile in which she was riding was overturned and she sustained a broken neck. Mrs. Shrewsbury was taken to Methodist hospital here where Monday afternoon she died, as sire had lived—for her son. * Mother love once more has triumphed over all obstacles, for news of the tragedy reached the court, and the son, for whom Mrs. Shrewsbury had made the supreme sacrifice, was released on his own recognizance by the trial judge. * PATROLMAN SUSPENDED Safety Board Finds J.

INDUSTRY SEEN OWN DESTROYER Shorter Working Day Only Answer, Labor Insists. By United Press 'VANCOUVER, B. C., Oct. 13. j Industry will be destroyed by its i own Frankenstein or man-replacing machinery, unless working hours are shortened to take 8,000,000 Americans out of the breadlines and give them jobs, American Federation of Labor leaders predicted today. Industry, overproducing and piling up of surpluses at a time when the idle are numbered in millions, must sell its goods at a profit or join an economic breadline itself, the delegates declared as they opened the final week of their fifty-first convention. The only way to bring a return to the “buyers’ market” of 1929, the delegates added, is to give workers money to spend by sharing the available work by means of the fiveday week and shorter working day. Before final adjournment next Friday, the convention will deal with prohibition. It is expected to ask immediate legalizing of 2.75 per cent beer. MORRIS SUIT Banker’s Widow’s Insurance Claim to Be Heard in U. S. Court. Suit of Mrs. Isa H. Morris, widow of J.

AUTO PROPELLED BY AIR, PERFECTED

By United Press LOS ANGELES, Oct. 13.—Roy J. Meyers, inventor, drove about Los Angeles today in an automobile propelled by air instead of gasoline. After six years of research work. Meyers proved Monday to a skeptical group of engineers that his scheme was practical by driving his automobile more than 100 miles on one tankful of compressed air. A six-cylindered radial type engine mounted in the place of the usual gasoline motor, connected with a tank containing 500 pounds of air furnished the motive power. The air goes through the motor, forcing pistons up and down in the

‘Land of Spree’ tty United Press CHICAGO, Oct. 13.—1n a Columbus day address to 1,000 Italian citizens, Mayor Anton J. Cermak declared Monday night that since prohibition, the “Land of the free now has more land and less freedom.” The mayor said he remembered well the day prohibition went into effect. “I was chairman of the license committee of the city council then,” he said. “That day, we closed 7,152 saloons. And the same day 15,000 blind pigs were opened.”

NABBED UNDER BED —. Cops Find Fugitive Hiding in Neighbor’s Home. Routed by police from beneath the bed at his neighbor’s home, Charles Fosso, 1223 East Market street, today is in the city prison facing a federal charge of conspiracy to violate the prohibition law. Fosso was arrested at 1 a. m. after police, armed with papers charging Fosso with being a fugitive, called at the man’s home to arrest him. Fosso’s wife, answering the door, told officers Fosso was not at home. They were admitted, however, and on search of the house, found a screen loose on the bedroom window. Another screen was found loose in the rear of a neighbor’s home. Police roused the neighbor, Sam Velona, who refused them admittance.

STATE HEADS BACK MUNCIE’S JOB PLAN

Indorsement of the Muncie plan of creating work for the unemployed by modernizing homes and repairing industrial buildings was voted today at the statehouse at a meeting of more than seventy-five business and labor leaders. William E. Price of Muncie, originator of the plan, was named to have charge of a state-wide move to enlist civic and business leaders in the proposal. The session, called by Governor Harry G. Leslie, was attended by Dr. John W. Hewett, executive secretary of the state committee on unemployment. Hewett, urging adoption of the proposal in all industrial centers throughout the state, told delegates at the meeting that 15.000 jobless could be given work. Dr. Hewett pointed out that 191 unemployed have been given work under the Muncie plan. Price declared that building is the

same manner as a gasoline engine. Much of the air is recaptured and recompressed by a motor attachment To circumvent the cooling of the air by decompression, the tank is heated electrically by a generator, also attached to the motor. The heating. Meyers pointed out, expands the air and thus increases the power. The car is without gears, being operated only by the opening and closing of a valve. Although it was geared down to a maximum of thirty-five miles an hour today, it can develop much greater speeds, he said.

CHALLENGE TO FOES HURLED BY BRUENING Warns Reichstag He Will Resign If Moratorium Is Demanded. BITTER BATTLE LOOMS Hiss at Dr. Schacht for ‘Utterances Designed to Shake Confidence.’ BY FREDERICK KUH United Press Staff Correspondent BERLIN, Oct. 13. —Chancellor Heinrich ’ Bruening outlined the policies of his government to a crowded reichstag today, and announced he would resign at once if the reichstag demands Germany declare a moratorium. Bruening, seeking a vote of confidence so the government can proceed under dictatorial powers with internal economic reform and international negotiations, cried: “I prefer being called a traitor to digressing from my path.” Beginning his counter offensive against the Nationalist-Fascism demonstration at Harzburg on Sunday he said he understood the role of the opposition, “But there are limits.” Hits at Schacht Hitting at Dr. Hjalmar Schacht, who criticised the government’s financial policies, he denounced “utterances at Harzburg destined to shake the public’s confidence in German currency.” He added that the creation of a panic would tend only to block the success of a possible future Nationalist government. The Nationalist opposition, fighting to overthrow the government and have a general election, did not appear at the start of the session. The entire cabinet, frock-coated, was seated on the government bench. Bruening was pale and intent. Bruening Is Earnest As soon as the session convened, Ernst Torgler, a Communist, demanded withdrawal of the police forces around the reichstag, Wilhelm Groener, minister of defense, whose police powers were mafle ■wider in the cabinet reorganization sat unmoved. Bruening faced the packed galleries and spoke earnestly, in a quiet voice. The new cabinet, he said, would pursue a policy of world-wide peace and reconciliation in the same spirit as in recent international negotiation, especially the Franco-German conversations. At home, the cabinet would press for economic reconstruction. He remarked that the army was able to cope with all possible emergencies, an assurance that the government was prepared against a “putsch” by the Hitler-Hugenberg Nationalist forces. Greeted with Applause In his address, Bruening foreshadowed further restrictions on German imports, notably agricultural commodities. “International co-operation,” he said, “is necessary to prevent a total collapse,” and concluded: “I stand before you and every one of you shares the responsibility.” He was greeted with strong applause, punctuated by the Communist battle cry. The reichstag recessed until Tuesday at noon. Visitor Suffers Severe Strokp After suffering a stroke of paralysis Monday while walking in the 800 block on Virginia avenue, Thomas Frost, 28, of 118% Virginia avenue, is in a serious condition today at City hospital.

ROOSEVELT IS FETED New York Governor Guest at OldFashioned Georgia Barbecue. By United Press WARM SPRINGS, Ga., Oct. 13. Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt of New York was honor guest today at an old-fashioned Georgia barbecue, arranged by the Meriwether county Roosevelt-for-Presi-dent Club.

AUTHOR NOW POLITICIAN Edgar Wallace Offers Candidacy as “Plain Lloyd George Liberal.” By United Press LONDON, Oct. 13. —Edgar Wallace, prolific writer of thrillers and mystery drama, is to investigate the mystery of British politics. “I feel that nobody is more competent to expose this national confidence trick which is gulling the public than one who has made a study of this form of crime,” Wallace wrote David Lloyd George, Liberal leader, in offering his candidacy from Blackpool “as a plain Lloyd George Liberal.” Lloyd George heartily accepted Wallace’s offer. His candidacy is added to that of prize fighters, clergymen. football players and a host of other colorful characters actively participating in Britain’s campaign.

Public Ownership of Utilities Advocated by Paul V. McNutt in Democratic Dinner Address

Governor Aspirant Makes Stand Plain at Meeting; Cheers Greet Statement at Franklin. BY BEN STERN FRANKLIN, Ind., Oct. 13.—Unfurled to the autumn breezes and lashed firmly to the candidacy of Paul V. McNutt for the Democratic nomination for Governor today is the flag of public ownership of public utilities. Overnight it has become a dominant issue in the campaign of 1932, and is expected by supporters of the Indiana law- school dean to align against him the powerful utility interests. McNutt’s statement for public ownership was taken by the more than 600 Democrats of the Seventh district, who met in the armory here Monday night for a Discovery day dinner and harmony meeting, to mean just exactly what was in their own minds—public ownership of utilities. Voices Utilities Stand In the middle of his short address on the necessity for strict adherence to Jeffersonian doctrine, McNutt halted for a moment and then declared: “Included in this Jeffersonian program is this: Continued public ownership and continued public control of all public utilities. “There is only one side of this question upon which the Democratic party can find itself, and that is upon the side of the consuming public.” For a moment there was a pause, as if the auditors were mulling over the words, and then the cheering broke loose, with many jumping to their feet. Smiling broadly and cheering as lustily, as young children saluting a favorite hero, were Mayor John McCarty of Washington, Ind., who has gained a national reputation for the successful manner in which he has operated the municipally-owned light plant in his home town, and Jap Jones of Martinsville, organizer of an association to promote lower utility rates, who has been the target of bitter attack by members of the public service commission. Jones’ Approval Significant What made the cheering by Jones of more importance is the fact that he long had been regarded as a leader of opposition to McNutt’s candidacy. Rededication to the principle of an income tax was forecast in the further statement by McNutt that “the fundamental law of taxation is this: The burden of taxation must be distributed with the ability to pay.” Pleading for the Democratic party not to be fooled by the panaceas of political fakirs and not to buy the nostrums of patent medicine vendors, Frederick Van Nuys of Indianapolis, principal speaker, of the almost five-hour program, declared that the solution to the present situation lies in a return to government by the people. Van Nuys painted a gloomy picture of Republican prospects next year and declared that leaders of that party are “going to draft Frederick Landis for the nomination for Governor next year, so that they can get rid of the progressives for all time to come.” SALVATION ARMY TO CHART YEAR’S WORK Plans to Be Discussed at Council of Indiana Officers.

T'vOEs that important date of history', 1492, mean more to the school child than to older persons of this country? Public officials in Indianapolis indicated as much Monday, when they forgot or neglected their honors to Christopher Columbus while school observed Discovery day. County commissioners not only apologized today for not honoring the day, but admitted that they had failed to observe the law. An act passed by the 1931 legislature made Oct. 12, commonly known as Discovery day, one of the state’s legal holidays. Consequently, there was debate today as to whether sentences imposed in criminal court would be valid. No flags were flown at the courthouse in honor of the day. Business held sway at city hall, with public offices open. One county commissioner decried the negligence of county officials in putting out the American flag. It used to fly daily from the two staffs in the courthouse yard, he lamented, but now even holidays are not recognized. tt tt a a a a Stuffed Birds Are Preij of Yeggs tty Times Special T IZTON, Ind., Oct. 13.—One casualty resulted from the raid of yeggs on the State Bank of Lizton early today.
