JAPAN'S DRIVE MAY DRAW NEW MAPOF ASIA ‘Squeeze-Play’ Tried on China: Pinchers Put on Russia. by WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS SorioDA-lloward Foreign Editor WASHINGTON, May 9.—New de-velopment-s which may change the niap of Asia, today were in full swing in the Far East. 1 Japan is taking steps to force recognition of Manchoukuo by China as the best means of obtaining recognition by the rest of the woi Id. 2. Faced with a rising tide of Communism, Chinese style, Marshal Chiang Kai-Shek, head of the Nanking government, reliably is reported to be pulling the wires behind the scenes to effect peace with Japan, thereby freeing his hands for the campaign at home. 3. In order to speed up these events, Japan is said to plan a vigorous drive southward, menacing, if not actually occupying, Peiping and Tientsin. She then would offer to evacuate this region and call ofT the war in exchange for China’s recognition of the status quo north of the great wall. Pressure Brought On Russia 4. Japan is bringing economic, political and military pressure to bear on Russia to force Russia out of North Manchuria and to give up its half-interest in the historic Chinese Eastern Railway. 5. Caught in the Japanese pinchers, Russia is seen as ready to retreat and consolidate her position north of the Amur river—that is within Siberia—as an alternative to a second war with Japan. Trustworthy and independent far eastern sources report that China practically has abandoned hope of regaining Manchuria and Jehol until she is strong enough to fight. Neither the United States, Great Britain nor France, she is now convinced, ever will use force against Japan in her behalf. Tokio is said to hold that occupation of- Chinese territory south of the great wall would give Japan bargaining power. On the other hand, Marshal Chiang might .save his face at home by a deal which would liberate North China. Vladivostok in Peril As to Russian interests in Manchuria, they virtually have been destroyed already. The Chinese Eastern has been cut, through traffic is at a standstill, and the line is more of a liability to the Soviet Union than an asset. She now' ofTers to sell it, but Tokio has indicated the pi ice is too high. Japan is in a position to bring the price down. Vladivostok, Russias only outlet on ihe Pacific, is in peril. The . short cut—via the Chinese Eastern across Manchuria—is severed, leaving the precarious, one-track railway all the way round the interminable semi-circular loop of the Amur, as the only all-Russian connection with that port. Both the railway and Vladivostok, C military experts here assert, today are pretty much at Japan's mercy. Should China be squeeze-played into recognizing Manchoukuo, it would be both difficult and embarrassing for the otherpporersw r ers to hold out. Lottery Charge Is Faced William Cummings, operating a -cigar store at 19 North Capitol avenue, was arrested Monday night on ' charges of operating a lottery in a police raid on the poolroom where it is said nine books of baseball pool tickets were seized

His pride kept him away. His wanderings took him to Glasford where new friends were made and work as a farmer proved profitable, the diary revealed. The urge to return home lessened. Friends at Glasford who knew of his past life said he had intimated he intended returning to Francisco this year. Attending the funeral services today were two daughters, Mrs. Bertha Klusmeier and Mrs. George Sollman, both of Ft.

RAID KIDNAPERS’ FARM TO RESCUE WEALTHY MAN Officers Know of Plot in Advance; Manufacturer Aids Capture of Two. By United Press FREEPORT, 111., May 9.—A plot to kidnap a wealthy maufacturer came to a swift conclusion here today with the abduction, capture of two suspects and their confession ail within a period of six hours. Authorities had been warned of the plot several days ago and had kept the victim, William Trevillia.a, CO, .vice-president of the W. T. Rawleigh Medicine Company, under constant surveillance. , They permitted the kidnapers to carry out their plot, and then quickly raided their hideout, freed Trevillian and made the arrests. Laverne Moore, 21, an employe at the Rawleigh plant, and William Stubbe, 27, who lives on a farm near Durband, 111., confessed the kidnaping, according to Federal Commissioner T. E. White, of Chicago. White engineerd the counter-kidnaping plans.

Two Brothers Bare Plot The abduction plot was revealed by two brothers, Red and Jack Schultz, both of La Salle, former undercover men for Sheriff E. J. Welter of La Salle county. Moore aprpoached them several days ago, and urged them to participate in the kidnaping. They informed Sheriff Welter, who called in Commissioner White. White brought more than a dozen federal agents to the scene, and directed the Schultz brothers to work with the kidnapers. He advised both Trevillian and his wife of the plot. Trevillian went about his work dally while several agents kept watch from a distance. As Trevillian left his office Monday night, the Schultz brothers carried out Moore’s orders and seized! Trevillian. They had been ordered | to take the victim to Stubbe’s farm.! Raid Farm, Free Prisoner Halfway there, Moore and Stubbe met the Schultz brothers and the victim. Stubbe went with one of the brothers and took Trevillian to an abandoned barn. Moore and the other Schultz brother returned to Freeport. Still carrying out Moore’s orders, Red Schultz took a $25,000 ransom demand to Mrs. Trevillian and then notified White that the plot had been executed. A dozen armed federal agents rushed to the Stubbe farm, arrested Stubbe and freed Trevillian. Three hours after the abduction he was back at his home. The agents then arrested Moore. Both he and Stubbe readily admitted the plot, White said. White also revealed that Moore had planned to kidnap Rawleigh, owner of the medicine plant, if the Trevillian plot was successful.

STATE CHURCH PLAN DRAFTED BY NAZIPARTY All Evangelical Christians of ‘Non-Aryan Descent’ Would Be Barred. By United Press BERLIN. May 9 —The ruling Nazi party drafted a scheme today for a re.chs church that would bar all Evangelical Christians “of nonAryan descent" rrom church membership. The plans of the Nazi party usually become the official plans of the reich. The scheme aimed at the establishment of an “Evangelical reichs church" for Aryan Christians, and for German Aryan Christians living abroad. It would recognize the sovereignity of the national Socialist state and would be “ready to preach the gospel in the third reich." It would take in the present Lutheran church and the Calvinist congregations. The latter, however, would be allowed to maintain special characteristics.
