JAPAN DEFIES THIRD POWER * INTERVENTION IN CHINA WAR; LOYALISTS MAKE NEW OFFER

Craigie called attention to the fact that in the Nanking raids of Sept. . 22, fragments of bombs fell on the roof of the British embassy. In his earlier visit today, Craigie was reported to have brought up the subject of Japanese warships, their blockade of the China coast and -the status of foreign ships in Chinese waters:

Fear Bombs Are

Japanese Reply

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25 (U. PJ). —State Department officials feared today that Japan had given her answer—with bombs—to foreign protests of aerial attacks on Chinese civilian areas. Continuation of bombing raids on Chinese cities, in defiance of American and British protests, was considered a more direct method than the use of words in expressing Japan’s determination to continue her attempt to subdue China. Japanese activities appeared to have placed squarely before the State Department the necessity of deciding what, if any, further action will be taken by this Government to restore peace in the undeclared Japanese-Chinese war. For the present, until Japan formally replies to the United States’ bombing protest, the State Department was not expected to take further definite action. But officials made no attempt to disguise their fear that they will be forced to make a decision on future policy soon.

Japanese Planes Kill 300 in Nanking

NANKING, Sept. 25 (U. P.).— Fulfilling their threat to spray China’s capital with death from the air, Japanese planes made five raids over the city today, killing 300 and maiming 400. : Ninety-six planes participated in the raids and official estimates said

_ 200 bombs were dropped.

Five of the invaders and three defending Chinese planes were shot down. The latter fell outside the city limits, not having engaged the enemy over its center. Chinese used new antiaircraft guns with deadly effect. Four Japanese bombs which struck across the street damaged the United Press offices here. Plaster was blown from the walls by four explosions. Wooden partitions were splintered by glass and doors wrenched off their hinges. The bombs made a direct hit on the offices of the National Economic Council.

Chinese Envoy ( Charges

Japan Is Using Gas

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25 (U. P.). —Chinese Ambassador C. T. Wang charged today that the Japanese Army in China had placed itself “beyond the pale of humanity,” by indiscriminate . bombing of civilian areas, destruction of Chinese Red Cross units and the use of poison gas. In a statement which Ambassador Wang said would be presented formally to the State Department later, the Ambassador charged that the Japanese Army has “wilfully perpetrated such infamous deeds” that Japan cannot escape the responsibility for having *‘grossly violated the principles of humanity and international law.” He contended that the Japanese

- Army had resorted to the use of

poisonous gases in at least two areas in China—in the Nankou Pass which Wang said succumbed to Japan chiefly because of the use of gas, and at Ku-An, in Hopei province.

lieved who joined it, against Italian submarines operating in aid of the Spanish Rebels, ; Finally, they had made strong representations to Italy to withdraw all her troops from Spain in return for a complete settlement of outstanding problems, notably recognition by the powers of Italy’s conquest of Ethiopia. The new turn in events provided unexpected material for Premier Mussolini and Adolf Hitler to discuss during Il Duce’s state visit. It was believed here that Feuhrer Hitler was none too eager to support Premier Mussolini against Britain and France in the Mediterranean problem particularly or the Spanish Civil War in general. :

Huge Madrid Spy Plot Involves 3000

MADRID, Sept. 25 (U. P.).—A Fascist uprising within Madrid, timed to coincide with a new Rebel assault, was reported today to have been frustrated by the Loyalist Government.

More than 3000 persons were involved, according to Gen. Jose Mia ja, supreme Loyalist commander of the Central Front. The Chilean embassy was the center of activities, according to the Government, and “several other embassies” were said to have been involved. A formal statement by Gen. Miaja said that the “White Falange’— as the organization was called—had members of official circles. Unfolding of the plot—especially the angle involving the Chilean embassy—was believed by independent observeis to be connected with Spain's failure to obtain a permanent seat in the Council of the] League of Nations.

Duce Bestows Cherished

Honor on Hitler

MUNICH, Sept. 25 (U. P.).—Premier Mussolini, bestowing on Fuehrer Adolf Hitler the most cherished honor he could devise, hailed Hitler today as “the herald and defender of European civilization against subversive activities.” I1 Duce bestowed on Hitler his own rank of honorary corporal in the Fascist militia—which Premier Mussolini created for himself and hereto has never been held by any other man. Immediately after his arrival, he made a striking gesture to signify the solidarity of the Fascist and Nazi governments and their ideals.

Rome Denies Report Of Makale Massacre

ROME, Sept. 25 (U. P.). — The Press Ministry issued a statement today denying that Ethiopians had massacred Italian residents of Makale, as reported in special dispatches which originated in London. “Nothing ever happened at Ma-. kale to justify such reports,” the ministry said. Italian political quarters suggested that the report may have been circulated in Europe by Russian agents hoping to damage Premier Mussolini's prestige on the occasion of his visit to Germany. Available information here is that 200 Italians live in Makale. The number includes: a garrison of troops, Government employees and settlers.

ORDERS REOPENING OF CHICAGO SCHOOLS

CHICAGO, Sept. 24 (U. P.).—Reopening of Chicago's elementary schools to approximately 400,000 pupils, provided there is no unusual rise in the prevalence of infantile paralysis during the next 24 hours,

was ordered today by Dr. Herman N. Bundesen, president of the Chi-

cago Board of Health.

G.OP Harmony Urged

At E

ditors’ Meeting

By PAUL T. SMITH

United Press Staff Correspondent / BROWN COUNTY STATE PARK, Ind. Sept. 25.—The Indiana Republican Editorial Association concluded its two-day meeting here today after adopting resolutions assailing the New Deal and urging state

party harmony.

Privately the editors said that the widely - adver-

tised battle between them and the state committee was ‘grossly ex-

aggerated.” ; But the meeting by no means could be called a harmony session or lovefeast between the editors and the

STRATEGY FOR MAY ELECTION DISCUSSED

Primary Plans ‘Speculative,’ Say Officials.

(Continued from Page One)

‘ably would not support the candidacy of Sheriff Ray.

Boetcher Remains Quiet

Declaring ‘Sheriff Ray was building up a strong following particularly among certain groups on the South Side, one City Hall leader said: “The problem of the Democratic County organization is to find a colorful campaigner who is anxious to have the job. Many of the party’s local leaders probably would prefer other positions.” Mayor Boetcher, who advanced from City Controller by right of succession when John Kern was appointed to the U. S. Board of Tax Appeals, has made no announcement regarding his future aspirations. He is to finish out the unexpired term which ends Jan. 1, 1939. Before the shift, he. was mentioned as the organization’s candidate for County Treasurer, and in some quarters it was assumed he still may seek that post. G. O. P. Rallies Set

G. O. P. County Chairman Frederick Schortemeier said the Republican leadership was encouraging aspirants for the mayoralty nomination to enter their names. : The party is to have several local rallies this fall and winter, and the leaders want to see how much popular strength these men develop, he said, adding that at the proper time the organization would give some direction in the matter by narrowing down the field. The following have been mentioned as possible G. O. P. candidates. Dan V. White, Municipal Court Judge; George A. Henry, attorney and South Side leader; Asa J. Smith, attorney and former secretary to Senator Harry S. New; John A. Schumacher, City Councilman; William Remy, attorney and former prosecuting attorney; George A. Henry and Albert .Uhl, former City Councilmen; William E. Reiley, attorney and former State committeeman; John Ruckelshaus Jr., attorney; William Bosson, defeated in the race for sheriff last year, and Walter Mercer, grocer.

Possible Democratic Candidates

Mentioned as possible Democratic organization candidates for Mayor

are:

Henry Goett, deputy prosecutor; Russell Ryan, who recently resigned as a counsel for the U. S. Treasury Department; Frank E. McKinney, County Treasurer; Louis A. Weiland, attorney, and Criminal Court=Judge Frank Baker. Party leaders said many of these men have not been approached on the subject of their candidacy, and some might decline to run if asked. Dissatisfaction with the present local Republican leadership was ex-

1| pressed by Mr. Remy who said:

“I've not much faith in it. Something will have to be done. Whether that (referring to the fusion movement) is the remedy or not I do not know but I hope someone will put his foot down. I have no desire for political office.” In announcing his candidacy, Mr, Hiner declared he would reduce taxes 50 per cent and not make any cuts in wages of firemen; policemen and other City workers. :

. Opposed to Traffic Stickers

He said he was in favor of licensed gambling and was opposed to giving stickers to motorists. “Neither do I believe in the mileage-per-hour driving regulation now in Indianapolis. That is not what is causing the accidents,” h said: : In speaking of the merit system, he said: “I further believe in the merit system, and if nominated and elected I will admit to you that Republican appointments will predominate, based upon their merit, and that no minority appointment will have to hold up his hand to the mayor to receive appointment or hold his job. I believe in the merit system.”.

state committee. Neither leader of the majority and minority factions —Ralph Gates of Columbia City and Ewing Emison of Vincennes, respectively—attended the session. The full burden of what pacifying was attempted rested with John C. Taylor of Danville, state chairman; James Slane of Lafayette, party secretary, and a few state committee members who appeared briefly in the uncrowded Abe Martin Lodge. But the editors did reveal a much more conciliatory attitude toward the party leaders, declaring that no individual editor was bound by the action of the association, thereby leaving it as an individual problem whether or not the various Republican publishers will continue the feud with the present party leadership or join in a vigorous 1938 election campaign.

Morgan Hit in Skit

That feeling between the association and the committee was indicated last night when a skit presented by the editors at a so-called “razz”® session pilloried the state committee and particularly the former chairman, Ivan C. Morgan of Austin, toward whom the editors felt bitterly. Eight of the ten resolutions attacked President Roosevelt's policies. Two dealt with state politics, one assailing Governor Townsend for his determination to oust U. S. Senator VanNuys from office, and the other urging G. O. P. “harmony.” In the absence of Arthur K. Remmel of Ft. Wayne, the resolutions were presented by Fred A. Miller of South Bénd and adopted without amendment or discussion. The Governor's “vicious attack” on Sen. VanNuys was termed “deplorable” by the editors, thus indicating their approval of VanNuys’ fight against Supreme Court reform. The “brazen attitude” of the Statehouse toward ‘good government” was condemned.

Pass Mild Resolution

Concerning the Republican Party, the editors adopted only one mild resolution, which said: “The Republican editors of the state sincerely hope that the Republicans in Indiana will get together as one big family and work unselfishly and harmoniously for the advancement of good government and for the correction of the many evils now existing in both state and nation.”

With that the quarrel between the editors and the state committee over the latter's factionalism and defiance of the editors’ wishes was dismissed. Taylor in a brief address said the Committee wanted to work “hand in hand” with the editors and “we’ll see that we do that during the nexv campaign.” : Privately Mr. Taylor told the editors and newspapermen that he proposed tu call a meeting of the State committee during the first 10 days of October at which he will present his resignation. If it is rejected, he said, he must have a vote of confidence from the entire committee. Mr. Taylor was chosen last month when 11 members of the State committee refused to vote either for or against him.

Little Talk of Candidacies

Consequently, it appears that the editors will allow the state committee to do what it will toward pulling the party together for the 1938 campaign while reserving the right to either support or ignore the decisions of the party leadership. There was little talk of prospective candidacies for the 1938 campaign. Rep. Charles Halleck, Indiana’s lone Republican Congressman, declined to say whether he will run for U, S. Senator but announced that he will be a candidate for re-election in the Second District. The editors heard Glenn Frank, former president of the University of Wisconsin, assert that he was one of many “reluctant rebels” who

originally supported the aims of the Roosevelt Administration but who! now are fighting the New Deal because the means of accomplishing these tims are leading the nation toward dictatorship. “Hitlerized” government is the ultimate end of the New Deal, he said, and recommended a six-point program of Republican action to combat it.

came along. That was too much for him. After grievous soul-searching he came out against it and then— which is what so peeved the Administration—he helped write the very denunciatory majority report of the Judiciary Committee condemning the “packing” plan. u

They had it in for Joe. Joe suspected that, and his suspicions mounted the other day when, driving home from Washington, he read in the papers that the President’s first major speech of the western trip was to be made in the Senator's home town. A quick check revealed that Senator Schwartz and Governor Miller had been invited to join the President’s party at Cheyenne .and ride to Casper—but that no invitation had come for Mr. O'Mahoney. Joe raced to Cheyenne and called his friends together. The results became apparent when the Roosevelt special arrived in Cheyenne and the town’s two newspapers were loaded onto the train Their headlines screamed: ‘State Tense as F. R. nears Cheyenne,” “Failure to Invite O'Mahoney to Join Him Creates Stir.” And then a story about a special banquet planned by local Democrats for the Senator Monday (arranged the day before by Joe and his friends), and a picture of the Senator with the caption, “Wyoming to Welcome, Him Back.” Meets Mrs. Roosevelt

They did it up brown, including an editorial entitled: “When Old Friends Meet,” which said: “We are convinced that the President will not stoop to reprisals witht those who disagree with him.” Both papers published “Joe’s all right” editions. Mr. Roosevelt saw the papers. Joe:went to the train with the local delegation and, outside, met Mrs. Roosevelt. She greeted him pleasantly and stood chatting with him, coatless, until the chill wind forced her to return to the private car. Joe got aboard. He was invited to go along. Meanwhile, Cheyenne had gathered several thousand strong about the back platform waiting to see what Mr. Roosevelt / would say about the Court plan or “Our Joe.” He said nothing about either. Joe was mighty happy. For he had taken a chance. He had chal-

lenged the snub and he had goi|

Roosevelts in Yellowstone

For Recreation

ABOARD PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT'S SPECIAL TRAIN EN ROUTE SEATTLE, Sept. 25 (U. P.). —President Roosevelt sought recreation in Yellowstone Park today after an “inspection trip” of political implications through the Midwest and into northwestern states. The recreation period will last 36 hours. Already, in two and a half days of travel, Mr. Roosevelt, in platform speeches, has pledged the New Deal’s continuance. He has interspersed his speeches with conferences with state executives who admittedly were seeking more libral spending of Federal funds. There was no doubt, three-quar-ters across the continent, that Mr. Roosevelt intended to carry on with the New Deal, despite 1937 Congressional reverses. His major counterattack against criticism was to cite the public works projects to be found at intervals along the right-of-way. He challenged his critics with the assertion that the people were better off for the Government having spent more in recent years than it receives in taxes. But the President added warnings that the purse strings were to be tightened to thin the golden stream.

Your case is simple.” He says, “You just go home and scare your wife and make her think she’s gonna lose you and you'll find out that she really loves you.” Well, my friend borrowed a gun and he went home and walked in the room where his wife was sittin’ and he put the gun to his head and says, “I know you don’t love me and I'm gonna shoot myself.” His wife sneered at him and says. “That's just like you to do a mean trick like that when you know how nervous I get when I hear a shot.” (Copyright, 1937)
