JAPAN ATTACKS; DESPERATE FIGHTING ON JEHOL BORDER

Fierce Warfare Is Begun Although Main Drive Is Not Started. INVADERS ARE REPULSED Infantry, Cavalry, Planes And Tanks Take Part in Conflict. BV HERBERT R. EKINS 1 nited Press Staff Correspondent PEIPING, Feb. 22.—Japanese and Chinese forces engaged in desperate fighting along the eastern border of Jehol province today, with infantry, cavalry, artillery, machine guns, airplanes and tanks in action. Despite the sanguinary nature of the fighting, it was agreed here that the main Japanese drive on Jehol had not yet started. Fighting centered especially in the Nanling sector, on the border opposite Peipiao, where the main Chinese forces in Jehol are centered. An official communique describing the Nanling fighting said there were 300 Japanese casualties, and that Chinese losses equally were heavy. Cavalry Sees Action The Chinese insisted they still held Nanling, as well as Peipiao. The communique said: “The Chinese waited until the oncoming Japanese were within 100 yards, and then turned machine guns on them, after which they attacked with bayonets.” The Chinese and Japanese cavalry saw extensive action, the communique said. Positions at Nanling were unchanged despite eight Japanese assaults, the Chinese claimed, adding also that the Chinese still held Chaoyang. south of Peipiao, despite severe aerial bombing. Fighting was in progress at Chaoyangssu, east of Chaoyang, where the Japanese bombed the Chinese defenses. Tile Chinese, intrenched one mile westward of Chaoyangssu, repulsed an assault of cavalry supported by tanks. Attaches to Visit Jehol Five hundred Japanese cavalry attacked Taoteyingtze, eastward of Kailu, but General Feng Chan-Hai's "big swords” repulsed them. Lieutenant - Colonel Walter S. Drysdale, United States military attache. will leave here at midnight for Jehol. He will be accompanied by British, French and other military attaches. All will report to the League of Nations of the situation in Jehol, especially the morale of the Chinese troops. The attaches will attempt to form an opinion on whether the inhabitants of Jehol desire inclusion in the state of Manchoukuo. Ultimatum Is Awaited An ultimatum will be delivered to the Nanking government Thursday giving Chinese troops twenty-four hours to withdraw from Jehol. the Japanese legation announced today. The ultimatum, which will come from the Manchoukuo government rather than from Japan, will warn that if the Chinese troops are not withdrawn, the long awaited drive of Manchoukuan and Japanese troops into Jehol will begin. A similar ultimatum will be delivered simultaneously to Marshal Chang Hsueh-Liang, young Manchurian war lord who commands the Chinese military forces in North China. Islands to Be Defended Bv I nltfd Tress Japan is prepared to retain her mandated islands in the Pacific against all comers, and the navy is ready to maintain Japanese freedom of the seas in the event of an International economic blockade, the newspaper Nichi Nichi said today in Tokio. Following Navy Minister Mineo Osumi’s significant statement of Monday that the navy would defend Japan in "any emergency,” Nichi Nichi published a purported outline of Japan’s position and said all commanders, bases and station of the fleet had been instructed to be prepared for the possible "emergency" in the Pacific.

Bam Bams One Smack! Outfielder Ross Young of the New York Giants started backwards. stopped dead in his tracks, and looked over his head, agape. The ball traveled 550 feet, and pitcher George Herman Ruth of the Boston Red Sox grinned as he trotted around the base path. That was in 1919, in a spring training game at Tampa, Fla. That was the smack that made Babe Ruth an outfielder, instead of the Red Sox' ace lefthanded pitcher. It started Ruth on hi., way to the greatest career in baseball. Read all about it this evening in that smashing sports feature "From Peanuts to Pennants." running in The Times Pinks. It's worth missing one street car to read the story of Babe the pitcher.

SWIFT REPEAL IS HINGING ON ‘SOLID SOUTH’ Ratification Depends Mostly on Democrats’ Keeping of Platform Pledges. BV WALKER STONE Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Feb. 22. A speedy vote by the American people on prohibition repeal is assured, if Democratic Governors and Democratic legislatures take the party's national platform pledges as seriously as the Democrats of congress took it. The election last November, which swept the Democrats into control of the national government, likewise gave the party dominance over an unprecedented number of state governments. Os the forty-eight Governors, thirty-eight are Democrats, eight are Republicans, one—Meier of Oregon—is an independent, and one— Olson of Minnesota—a Farmer-La-borite. A tremendous impetus would be given the drive for resubmission if national Democratic leaders would take the Chicago platform pledge to heart and launch a party crusade. The most serious threats of delay come from states of the solid south, where, it is said, many legislatures are reluctant to vote for legislation setting up the machinery for the election of delegates to ratifying conventions. The organized prohibitionists in those states are strong. For years (Turn to Page Thirteen)

Tangled Fate Threads of Five Lives Knitted Into Pattern of Sheer Tragedy.

FATE tangled the threads of five lives Tuesday afternoon and knitted them into a pattern of sheerest tragedy. Mrs. Evelctta Johnson, 59, of 855 North Keystone avenue, was stricken with apoplexy near her home and died as police arrived. Dr. John Salb, deputy coroner, was unable to establish her identity, and ordered the body sent to city morgue. Patrolman Charles O. Johnson, on his way home from duty, passed the scene alter the ambulance had left. He stopped to make inquiry. “A woman died in the street,” he was told. "Nobody knows her name, but here's her pocketbook.” Johnson recognized the purse as his wife's. He rushed to city hospital. a a a LATER, several miles away in the 100 block East Washington street. Ralph Johnson, with a companion. Miss Eleanor Wolf, 33, of 1941 Ruckle street, turned into the first alley east of Pennsylvania street, taking a short cut.

Wage Boost Wrigley Assures Some Income If Workers Are Laid Off,

By United Print Chicago, Feb. 22— Philip k. Wrigley, gum manufacturer, completed today a plan for increasing the wages of his employes, shortening their working hours, and providing them with assurance of some income even if they are laid off. The plan entails: 1. Increase of minimum wage scale. 2. Ten per cent reduction in working hours and a corresponding increase in wage per hour. 3. Guarantee of 25 per cent of salary to all employes laid off. While emphasizing that he is advancing his plan only for his own business and not as a cure-all for the depression, Wrigley also made it plain that he believes the logical road to business recovery lies in increasing wages in the lower brackets of industrial labor.

$50,000 TOLL IN PLANT FIRE Bridge and Steel Company Building Is Destroyed by Flames. Residents of a score of homes were forced to evacuate temporarily today when their possessions were threatened by fire which destroyed the Central States Bridge and Structural Steel Company plant at Singleton and Beecher streets, causing loss estimated at $50,000. Turned into a roaring mass of flames and smoke within a few minutes after the roof caught fire from sparks from a passing freight train, the large two-story frame plant was a smouldering heap of ruins within half an hour. Homes opposite the plant were threatened with destruction as flames and sparks were carried by a south wind. Many families fled from the danger area carrying belongings. None of the homes was damaged. Three alarms were sounded when the roof blaze was discovered by Ed Mays, stationary engineer at the plant. When fire apparatus arrived, the entire roof was afire and the flames rapidly were spreading to the walls and interior. Firemen escaped injury when the east wall crashed to the ground carrying with it large iron girders supporting the roof. Twenty employes carried office records to safety, but most of the machinery, used in casting and making of structural steel, was damaged extensively by heat. Hundreds of persons, attracted by huge smoke clouds, crowded near the scene while firemen poured eight water streams on the burning structure from all angles.

INDIANAPOLIS, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1933

STEAM ROLLER TRIUMPH SEEN ON SALES TAX McNutt Forces Massed for Crushing of Foes at Session Today. I COUNT 66 ‘FOR’ VOTES Only One More Needed to Assure Administration Victory in House. Despite protests from every part of the state, the McNutt administration this afternoon will attempt to steam roller the sales tax and personal income tax revenue bill through the assembly. Representative Edward H. Stein (Dem., Bloomfield), majority floor leader, was checking a house membership list before noon recess, and it was reported that, with Speaker Earl Crawford voting, sixty-six votes would be garnered for suspension of the rules. Sixty-seven votes are needed and administration leaders were seeking the clincher. The test will arrive when the bill comes out of committee with a favorable report signed by eight committeemen supporting it. In addition. there were to be four nonsigners of the measure from committee and a minority report for indefinite postponement by Representative J. Clinn Ellason (Dem., Hammond). Acts in Senate Senator Anderson Ketchum (Dem., Greensburg), majority floor leader in the upper house, also was counting noses energetically, on the supposition that the excise measure would be jammed through the house. He said he was dubious as to whether the senate would consent to passage under suspension of the rules, but that an effort would be made if the house, acted. Passage of the sales tax bill is believed assured, despite the declaration of manufacturers and merchants of the state that it will deal business a crushing blow. Against their statements are those of farmers and other real estate holders, who see in the sales levy a means of broadening the tax base, and taking some of the burden from realty. Public Hearing Held Views of both groups were presented at a meeting Tuesday night of the house of representatives ways and means committee in the house chamber. Despite the short advance notice of the meeting, the chamber was filled and there was an audience of fair size in the galleries. The hearing followed a day of worry for Governor Paul V. McNutt and his cohorts. Originally, it had been planned to rush the bill through by the caucus route. The caucuses were held, but failed to I develop support for the measure j that had been anticipated. Anxious listeners at the hearing were Frank T. McHale and Virgil Simmons, McNutt advisors. Several members of the senate finance committee, which will consider the measure in the upper branch, were present, as was Senator Anderson Ketchum (Dem., Greensburg), president pro ted. of the senate. Fredrick Assails Bill Opening the attack on the bill, John E. Fredrick of Kokomo, president of the Indiana State Chamber of Commerce, a manufacturer, declared in regard to economic conditions: "We are in the twilight zone today, and we know not where we are going.” He expressed opposition to any additional taxes and urged further reduction in governmental expenses. Speaking for the -etail merchants of Indiana, J. Irving Latz, Ft. Wayne merchant, asserted they are not trying to evade their share of taxation but "the new tax would be a burden greater than we canj carry.” He said merchants pay a heavy! part of the property taxes, as stores are on choice real estate. Latz said 98 per cent of Indiana’s' merchants lost money in 1932, and| that the outlook for 1933 is for less business than in the preceding year. Tax Strike Proposed Paul W. Kerr of Elkhart opposed 1 the bill on behalf of manufacturers.* Asserting that surpluses which manufacturers had accumulated in good years either are exhausted or near' exhaustion, Kerr said the sales tax would be harmful, in that manufacturers in the state would buy sup- j plies elsewhere to avoid the tax. | "If there is going to be a tax strike, let's make it 100 per cent,” was the proposal of George Firmin, South Bend merchant, referring to a threat of such action by some Indiana farmers. Speaking for the bill. Gavin L. Payne of Indianapolis, presenting views of real estate iflen. asserted he has not seen "any foreclosures of merchants, but has seen thousands j of farmers foreclosed.” System Called Just Payne pointed out that Fredrick, opposing the sales tax. was a mem- j ber of the Indiana tax study commission and signed its report favoring a retail sales tax of 1 per cent. A member of the house. Representative John Napier Dyer (Dem.. Vincennes) spoke for the bill, declaring its enactment would mean that ‘TOO per cent of the people would pay 100 per cent of the taxes.” Pea for the bill was made by Lewis Taylor, tax and legislative representative of the Indiana Farm Bureau, who denied statements of merchants that they could not pass the sales tax on to the consumer and assailed the plea for a levy on intangibles. j

Indiana Old Age Pension Law Passed Measure Goes to Governor for Signature: Eagles to Attend Rites.

Leaders of the Fraternal Order of Eagles, champion of pensions for twelve years, will attend a ceremony at 3:30 Thursday afternoon when Governor Paul V. McNutt signs the bill, making Indiana the eighteenth old age pension state. Among those in attendance will be Frank E.

Deluse, Indianapolis, former national president of the order and who, as chairman of the Indiana pension commission, has been a leader in the movement for twelve years; J. Pierce Cummings, Indianapolis, national Eagles trustee, and James J. Nejdl, Whiting, who as a member of the state senate was an outstanding pension advocate. Called down on passage by Senator William D. Hardy (Dem.. Evansville), the senate acted swiftly to enact the measure into law. “This bill not only is a Democratic platform measure, but it is (Turn to Page Thirteen)

FIGHT RENEWED ON LOAN RATES Rewritten Bill Is Placed Before House: Senate Draft Defended. Interest rate on petty loans is expected to start a battle in the house of representatives before today’s session ends. Battle lines were drawn after the house committee on banks and trust funds reported out a rewritten petty loan bill, changing a previous measure in every respect except the enacting clause and giving the new department of financial institutions full power to fix rates. In the meantime, the committee is holding a senate bill setting a fiat rate of 2 per cent against rates in the other bill, which are set optionally at 3 1 - up to $l5O, and 2Vs on loans above that amount. Representative Fred S. Galloway (Dem., Indianapolis), will demand that the committee report out the senate bill, and during the morning session exhibited a copy of his motion signed by twenty-three house members. Galloway sought to offer the motion, but was halted by Speaker Earl Crawford, who said he would not entertain it until Representative Leo M. Gardner (Dem., Indianapolis,) bank committee chairman, is present. The revamped house bill provides strict regulation of the small loan business by the banking department, including licensing and annual reports, and the power to revoke or suspend licenses.

Hull, Woodin Get Chief Cabinet Posts; Roosevelt Moves to Speed Trade Revival

BY FREDERICK A. STORM United Press Staff Corresnondent NEW YORK, Feb. 21.—The Roosevelt administration swung into gear today to advance the date of the world economic conference, and to speed agreements designed to stimulate foreign trade and enable the nations of the world to help each other out of the depression. President - Elect Franklin D. Roosevelt's .announcement of appointments of his two chief cabinet officers coming after a series of conferences with foreign envoys, was subject to no other interpretation than that the new administration was assuming charge of the nation's foreign affairs. It was made evident that Mr. Roosevelt now hopes to make it possible to hold the world economic conference early in the spring. This would make possible a complete reconciliation of the Roosevelt insistence Ujiat European nations make economic concessions in exchange for war debt revision, and the British viewpoint that though 1 debts may be considered individu- | ally, economic matters can only be ! decided in joint international conference. Senator Cordell Hull of Tennessee, who will become secretary of state March 4. and William H. Woodin. president of the American Car and Foundry Company, who will become secretary of the treasury, were expected to start almost at once conferences with European ambassadors and ministers looking toward an early meeting of the economic conference.

Culver Tinner Fights to Avert *Creeping Death * Dread Landry's Paralysis Slowly Tightens Its Grip on Patient at Methodist Hospital. A disease that first affected its victim with the feeling of "sand in his shoes,” today brought William Kruman, 23-year-old Culver (Ind.) tinner, face to face with death, slow and deliberate, in Methodist hospital. With only his stamina and the meager hope of physicians that he might live, Kruman is battling hour after hour as the dread Landry's paralysis fastens its grip. Today the disease, which causes paralysis from the lower part of the body upward, wa£ nearing the young man’s lungs.

Unless some method is formed to halt the march of the disease to the respiratory organs, Kruman’s death will come in a few hours. Kruman's illness had been growing more serious for more than a week when he first went to his physician, Dr. Donald Reed, complaining of ar feeling of "sand in his shoes,” and persistent tingling of his feet. The disease struck Kruman after an attack of the flu. Recognizing the symptoms. Dr. Reed stai*ted the trip with Kruman to the hospital. When they left Culver, Kruman was able to walk to the car, but in the short time of the drive the paralysis had spread so that he had to be helped from the auto here. Indianapolis, however, has one resident who fought successfully against the disease. He is John Keller, 3606 Guilford avenue. Keller was taken to the Methodist hospital last April, and told that he either had Landry’s paralysis or "sleeping sickness,” a similar illness. He was told that he had four or five days to live. Keller said today that his paralysis never developed as far as Kruman’s. Keller was a patient in the hospital for five weeks, and in bed for two months. He expressed hope for Kruman today.

BOMB MAILED TO ROOSEVELT Alertness of Postoffice Employes in Capital Foil Attempt. By United Press WASHINGTON, Feb. 22. The alertness of Washington postoffice employes has foiled a second attempt on the life of President-elect Franklin D. Roosevelt. A crudely-fashiond bomb, obviously the work of an amateur, was dug out of a package addressed to "Franklin D. Roosevelt, Washington, D. C.” On the plain, brown-paper wrapping was the postmark: "Watertown, N. Y.” All the energy of the federal government’s crime fighting forces was massed today in the attempt to run down the person or persons who sent the package. Secret service officials and department of justice agents were reluctant to discuss the case today, and would not confirm reports that a large force of the government’s crack investigators were on the way to Watertown. The wrapping on the brown paper parcel aroused suspicion in the postoffice here, because it was loose. The bomb was designed to explode when opened. So crude was the bomb, experts said, that they doubted whether it would have done any harm even if Mr. Roosevelt had received and opened it.

the French ambassador, Paul Claudel, came to see me in New York today. We discussed unofficially all questions relating to collaboration between France and the United States. These included, of course, the world economic conference and inter-government debts. “These conversations will continue and the new secretary of state, after his selection is announced, will doubtless see M. Claudel, “I had a delightful meeting (with Mr. Herridge. the Canadian minister. We discussed many matters of mutual interest to Canada and the United States.” The statement was issued shortly before Mr. Roosevelt made public the names of his first two cabinet appointees.

Drives Mighty Racing Car Through Perilous Haze at Daytona. TAKES RUN ‘FOR CROWD’ Hurtles Along Sandy Strip With Visibility at Few Hundred Yards. It , I nited ['rent DAYTONA BEACH, Fla., Feb. 22.—Sir Malcolm Campbell drove his mighty Bluebird racing car through a dangerous haze at Daytona Beach today to break his own world’s speed record. Defying unfavorable conditions to "please the crowd,” the famous British speed driver sent his machine along faster than man ever had traveled before on land tc average 272.10 miles an hour on the regulation two runs over the measured mile. His old record set here last year was 253.968 miles an hour. Speed Is Compared The speed made by Campbell today, as compared with his record times last year, were: 1932. Today. South Run.. .267.459 MPH 273.556 North Run. ..241.773 270.676 Average 263.968 272.108 Sir Malcolm's run in his giant car was all the more remarkable today because he was able to break his own record by about 18.14 miles an hour under conditions which at first made it appear unlikely he even would approach the old mark. Visibility Is Limited The haze hanging over the beach had limited visibility to a few hundred yards when, clad in a spotless mechanic's suit, the tall, smiling Briton climbed into his machine for his smashing drive. ‘This is just to please the crowd,” Sir Malcolm said when the car was swung into position. There were many hundreds of persons strung | out along the sand dunes, many of them under umbrellas to protect | them from the hot sun. However, once he was in the BlueI bird, he put his foot down and with j the machine functioning perfectly, ! sent her along the strip of sand | shattering all standing records.

"Passage of the bill with this amend nent will pave the way for immediate rate reductions by the public service commission and abolish the alibi that the federal court will overrule them.” Weiss asserted.
