charge. But that does not matter. The result is the same whether Chinese Communism is inspired from abroad or by conditions of want and misery at home. “In either case the answer is chaos, and chaos in China is a menace to world peace.” "What are the chances of war breaking out along the Amur between Japan and Russia?” “Japan has no intention to attack Russia, and I do not believe Russia intends to attack us. So there should be no w'ar. “Russia has sent a considerable number of troops to the Manchuo-kuo-Siberian border. And that creates a certain uneasiness. But I don't think it will lead to anything.” "What do you think China's position would be in a RussoJapanese conflict?” “The present belief at Nanking is that China stands to profit by peace more than she would by a general Far Eastern war, in which she might take a hand. ‘Nanking now is convinced that an understanding with Japan is more to her advantage than conflict.” This statement is extremely significant. Throughout the Far East I have discovered a well-de-fined belief that China’s strong man. Marshal Chiang Kai-shek, has Methodist and the Grace Church of the Brethren churches. The Rev. George S. Southworth will conduct a three-hour service at the Church of the Advent. Service will be conducted at the Second Moravian church by the Rev. George C. Westphal.

Congregations of the Union Congregational and Unity Methodist Protestant churches will join in a community service at the Riverside Methodist church.

E, and First Reformed churches participating; at Garfield Park Baptist church, with Bethany Lutheran, Garfield Park Christian.

reached an understanding with Nippon and there is even talk of the possibility of the Nanking government recognizing Manchoukuo. Should this happen, of course, it would put an entirely new face on the question of recognition by other countries. Refusal to extend recognition after China had done so would place them in the position of being “more Catholic than the Pope.” Whether Japan withdraws from the Washington naval treaty unless given parity with the United States and Britain, the foreign minister said, has yet to be officially decided. Personally he does not withdrawal. But, he repeated, that is only his private view. Japanese exclusion from the United States, he admits, still causes much bitterness in Japan. It is far from a forgotten issue. But Japan’s position is that, after all, it is an American domestic problem which, sooner or later, America will settle of her own accord in a way which will remove the sting to Japanese pride. Foreign Minister Hirota is widely regarded as one of the most discerning of Nippon's present-day diplomats and statesmen. Before assuming his present office he was ambassador to Moscow.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

STATE RELIEF PLAN ADOPTED CWA Workers Will Return to Poor Rolls Under New Program. Details of the plan to return the majority of CWA workers to the poor relief rolls were being worked out today, following adoption of a program yesterday afternoon by the Governor’s commission on unemployment relief. Indiana's allotment from federal emergency relief administration funds for April is $1,300,000, while the CWA pay roll ran more than $1,500,000 a week. Orders from Washington are to substitute FERA for CWA on April 1. The state commission p'ans on having the entire program under way by April 9. Liquidation of CWA forces has been going on throughout the month. Under the FERA setup, work relief will be provided in sixty-five counties designated as urban areas and particularly in cities of .more than 5,000. Minimum wage is 30 cents an hour with a six-hour day and eight-een-hour work week for unskilled, minimum of thirty hours a month for skilled and semi-skilled. Subsistence garden plots are part of the program for families in the small towns and rural areas. Rehabilitation of “stranded groups,” that is unemployed workers who, it is concluded, never again will be able to earn a living at their trade, is another point in the program adopted. The commission announced that the townships will have to finance, without help from the state commission, all relief for cases not provided for in the urban and rural programs.

POLICE SAY GAMBLER WON $20,000 PLAYING NICKEL LIMIT BRIDGE

By United Press NEW YORK, March 29.—William D. Frad of Zanesville, 0., described as a professional ocean liner gambler, was credited today by federal agents with winning $20,000 in a 5-cent limit bridge game. Frad, sentenced to two years in federal prison yesterday for using a false Canadian passport while posing as a foreigner, is alleged to have fleeced a traveler of that sum with a “trick” hand, the agents said. The cards in this bridge oddity were so arranged that the victim agreed to waive the rules and he and Frad doubled and redoubled each other fourteen times, Federal Judge Inch was told. The hand follows: THE VICTIM GAMBLER. Spades—A K Q J. Spades—None. Hearts—A K Q J Hearts—B 7 6 5 4 10 9. 3 2. Diamonds—A K Q. Diamonds—None. Clubs—None. Clubs—A X Q J 10 9. The victim, who bid a grand slam in hearts, lost because the swindler held one more trump card than he did.

U NEW TAXIS BOUGHT BY CITY CAB COMPANY Cars Will Be placed in Service Easter, Says Official. The Red Cab Company, pioneer taxicab operators in Indianapolis, announces purchase of fourteen new Ford cabs, to be placed in service by Easter Sunday “Distinctly improved business conditions necessitate this addition to our fleet,’” said Thomas R. Kackley, secretary and treasurer of the company. “The new cabs are the finest type that can be bought. By Easter we will have eighty-one units in service.”

CORD LOOMS AS AIR MAIL KING •Lone Wolf’ Holds Strategic Advantage Under New Postal Rules. (Continued From Page One) cers and directors be willing to relinquish control. Even should American Airways, as such, be ruled ineligible, it will be a simple matter for Mr. Cord to transfer overnight all of the personnel and equipment of American Airways to the Century Air Lines, which Mr. Cord also owns. When he gained control of American Airways, Mr. Cord discontinued operations of Century Air Lines, but he has maintained its corporate identity. Century Air Lines was operating in 1930, but was on the outside looking in when the “spoils conference” was held and therefore unquestionably has “clean hands.” Powerful competing operators privately are disturbed over the advantage which they see Mr. Cord has. Although they will not permit themselves to be quoted, Mr. Cord’s competitors point out that Mr. Cord apparently has been playing his cards for the big opportunity that now is presented. When the air mail contracts were canceled, American Airways, unlike the others, did not shout public protests. Also, officials of competing companies say, American Airways did not curtail services, as did other companies, but took steps to increase its equipment in preparation for larger operations, The only existing air transport companies unquestionably eligible to bid are: Century Air Lines. Inc. (not now operating), Boston & Maine Airways, Boston; BranifT Airways, Oklahoma City; Bowen Air Lines, Lawton, Okla., and Wcdell-Williams Air Service, New Orleans. Os this group, no company except Mr. Cord’s Century Air Lines

can get its hands on more than a half-dozen p’anes. But it would be an easy matter for Century to take over American Airways equipment and start transcontinental service. Mr. Cord gained national publicity two years ago—in behalf of his Century Air Lines—when he made an offer to the house postoffice committee to fly all the mails at half the price the contractors thru were charging. A few months thereafter, he again gained national publicity when the service of his line was disrupted by a strike of his pilots, who charged that they were being paid only a fraction of the wages pilots of other lines received. Nothing more was heal’d from him until he popped up in control of American Airways. ANNUAL COMMUNION SERVICE TO BE HELD Candlelight Ceremony Will Take Place in Presbyterian Church. Meridian Heights Presbyterian church will hold its annual candlelight Holy week communion service at 7:45 tonight. This is purely a communion service and has no special features of music or sermon. The church will be lighted entirely with candles, psalms will be the only music, and the sacrament will be celebrated without ritual in its original setting of the gospel story as recorded by John. The service is open to the public.

ACTION ON VETO WINS PRAISE OF VETERAN UNITS V. F. W. State Commander Says Bonus Should Come Next. Officials of veterans organizations here today expressed gratification at action of the senate in over-rid-ing President Roosevelt’s veto of the independent offices appropriation bill, thus giving additional benefits to the veterans aud increasing federal employes’ pay. They referred to the action as a just move and one that will benefit all classes in the country. Their statements included: Charles R. Michael, state commander. Indiana department. Veterans of Foreign Wars—Now the bonus should come next. I’ve got hope that the senate and the house of representatives will override the President's veto on this measure. The compensation measure overridden today couples with its restoration of pay for federal employes originally was a Veterans of Foreign Wars’ bill. At our last convention in Milwaukee we favored the restoration of pay for government employes as well as drafting the restoration of compensation for border line cases.

“I'm heartily elated over the action of the senate. It’ll prove a boon to business and relieve the taxpayer from supporting veterans who have been on poor relief because of failure to receive compensation from the government.” Legion Head Comments V. M. Armstrong. American Legion State Commander—This has been a great popular victory. Our congressmen have seen that the propaganda against veterans paid for by a scort of multimillionaires under the banner of the National Economy League was false. “Our American Legion principles have been vindicated. The restored benefits will reach disabled veterans of Indiana in almost every town and hairnet. The legion will continue to co-operate with our government to the end that justice and fairness will prevail.” Harold L. Plummer, assistant national adjutant, American Legion, | said: “’The obligation of caring for j war veterans rests with the federal i government. The tax burden mere;ly will be shifted from the cities to the national treasury.” Injustice Said Removed “I understand that there are two budgets in Washington, one that balances and one that doesn't. The government has been spending money on recovery. They will can afford to spend it on the war vet- , cran. World war veterans have been j made victims of economy cuts not j based on truth and fact. Harry R. Stuck, Commander of i Dr. Worthington Post, Disabled ! American Veterans—l feel that j action of congress in overriding the I President’s veto will help remove ' an injustice from disabled veterans.
