undeclared war with Japan, Miss |}

Mai mai Sze, daughter of the retired Chinese ambassador to the United | States, said here today. | The tall pretty daughter of the | diplomat who retired last summer | and returned with his wife to] Shanghai, was here to lecture in the | Town Hall Series in the Columbia | Club. | Wearing straight black bobbed | hair and a floor-length blue and red | dress with high, tight-fitting coliar | and red shoes, Miss Sze lighted a ci- | garet and reclined in an easy chair | to predict victory for the land in! which she was born. ‘ Educated in France and England | and at Wellesley, she used broad A’s | to declare that “America is China's! greatest friend and vou have only to | tudy history to learn that and the! attitude of other nations.”

Says Resistance Surprising

Miss Sze said she believed China | would win her struggle because] “this is the first time she ever has been reunited and I think that her | resistance has surprised even China | herself.” | She said that economic factors | govern the length of any war and | that “China can last longer than Japan because every province is selfsufficient. Japan cannot hold out long without putting her hand to her throat.” Miss Sze branded as “bunkum” reports that “Japan’s prize troops still are being kept at home.” “I think they sent their best into China when the trouble started,” she declared. She said “sanctions” by nations | would be more effective than a “boycott” which she said was more individual.

Live in French Quarter

She said that her parents now are living in the French concession | in Shanghai where “they can hear | the bombing.” She said she last heard from | them about two weeks ago and that | “any news we get from China now | is out-of-date when it gets here. I | recently got a batch of six letters | which were mailed last August.” Miss Sze said that she knew only | casually Mme. Chiang-Kai-shek, | wife of China’s generalissimo, but | that she “is an admirable person, great in her own right with an adnirable organizing ability.”

Postpones Trip Home

American saying that “the orass looks greener farther away,” | is true, she said, and she doesn’t | know just where she would like to] live best. | It's been five years since she has | been in China, she said, but she] “loves London and France and New | York, but would like to go back to China.” She said she had planned on do- | ing so soon, but has postponed her | plans because she is interested in a | Chinese relief fund being raised in | New York, is living there now and | is interested in its promotion. After her lecture here, she depart- | ed for Chicago to speak there,

Fear Spanish War

Parley Will Fail

LONDON, Oct. 23 (U. P.).—Hope | for agreement on withdrawal of foreign volunteers froin the Spanish | civii war was all but abandoned | today. Well informed quarters predicted | that either the powers must be content to let the civil war drag on to exhaustion or definitive victory, or they must find a way to mediate between the Rebels and Loyalists. | It was feared that.at a meeting

the Spanish Nonintervention Committee Tuesday, delegates of the nine powers represented must agree to refer the entire volunteer problem back to the main committee with the confession that they were deadlocked. That would mean in effect the collapse of withdrawal efforts. The subcommittee negotiations reached an impasse yesterday when Russia refused to agree to a “token” withdrawal of volunteers based on repatriating an equal number of men from each side, Rebel and | Loyalist, and Italy refused to be bound by any estimate an international commission might make of | the total of volunteers subject to | evacuation. Russia's refusal was based on the conviction that many more foreigners were fighting for the Rebels than for the Loyalists. Italy's was based on the conviction that the commission would not be able to establish accurately the number of men on the Loyalist side because the Loyalist volunteers went

to Spain as individuals while the men on the Rebel side, Italians and Germans, are under their own officers.

JOHN MONTAGUE DEFENSE OPENS CASE MONDAY

Counsel Hopes to Introduce Affidavits of Movie Stars, Priest.

By HARRY FERGUSON United Press Staff Correspondent ELIZABETHTOWN, N. Y. Oct. 23.—Lawyers for John Montague—or Laverne Moore as he is known in Essex County Court—planned today to get into the record affidavits from movie stars, businessmen and a Catholic priest swearing that he had led an upright life for the last seven years, “a man who is absolutely above reproach.” “I have never known him to behave other than as a gentleman,”

reads an affidavit from Bing Crosby, |

the movie star. James Noonan, defense counsel, hopes to put that document and five others in the record Monday trial on robbery charges is resumed. The prosecution rested its case against Montague late yesterday after presenting witnesses who directly linked Hollywood's mysterious golfer with the robbery of Kin Hana’s roadhouse in August, 1930.

Crosby Signs Affidavit

On Monday the defense will have its day in court. Preparing for that, Mr. Noonan submitted to District Attorney Thomas McDonald a series of affidavits made by Montague's friends in California. Next week the defense will move that the affidavits be made a part of the court record. Mr. McDonald declined to say whether he would consent, pending his study of the documents. Crosby said Montague's reputaion for “peacefulness and quiet” was excellent.

Workers were back at their jobs today following strikes at the Patterson Shade Co. and the F. R. Perkins Trucking Co. company officials said. Wilbur C. Patterson, shade company president, said 90 per cent of

Mr. Perkins said his company had reached an agreement with Emmett Joseph Williams, Teamsters and Chauffeurs Local 135 president, calling for a 62'-cent-an-hour wage scale and a 48-hour work week. He said negotiations still were being conducted on a closed

his men were back at work. Mr. Williams said the strike was called when Perkins Co. trucks hauled furniture from several struck furniture stores.

Meeting Scheduled

Norman C. Roberts, Auto Workers Association Local 1149 president, said a meeting of all nonstriking union members is to be hcld Monday to arrange financial aid and seek support of other locals for about 125 mechanics now striking 10 garages here. Mr. Roberts said no negotiations had been started

of L. and C. 1. O. committees Mon“I think they are well able to take care of themselves,” she said. “I shall not send them a message.” Asked whether the warring unions had recently shown ability to “take care of themselves,” she shrugged her shoulders. The Administration has a more

than usual interest in labor peace. |

This stems. from three problems: 1. Budget balancing plans. Costly strikes, resulting in many cases from jurisdiction disputes between the C. I. O. and the A. F. of L. have hampered industry during the past year. If peace talks fail, the prospect of additional jurisdictional strikes is imminent. Labor warfare may be carried to the extent of widespread boycotts. Administration economists regard labor warfare as hampering business and therefore partially responsible for a lag in tax receipts. 2. Present labor policy. Warfare between the C. I. O. and A. F. of L. has been sharply reflected in the activities of the National Labor Relations Board. Board decisions have been assailed as partial to one side or the other. Officials admit they are frankly “on the

spot” until the schism is healed. The |

A. F. of L. now demands not only amendment to the Wagner act, but the discharge of many officials, allegedly to be “pro-C. I. O.” 3. Future legislation, One of the keystones of the legislative program for the special session of Congress is the proposed Wages and Hours Bill and sniping between the rival labor groups has involved this measure. The Federation fears an Administrative board might favor the C. I. O. and aid John L. Lewis’ southern textile drive. The Administration also is faced with criticism on all appointees to positions concerning labor relations. There appears no immediate prospect of filling either the first or second assistant Secretaryships of Labor because of the difficulty of finding acceptable candidates. Edward F. McGrady, former first assistant, reportedly has advised Mr Roosevelt to “lay off” until the outcome of the projected conference is ascertained.

VanNuys Asks Modification In Profits Tax

Times Special WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.—Senator vVanNuys (D. Ind.) has prepared amenaments designed to modify drastically the undistributed tax law, he announced today. Senator VanNuys preaicted adoption of the amendments either at the special session or the regular session to follow. “I had these amendments ready for introduction at the close of the last session,” the Senator said. “Many ol my coileagues, who agreed they shoula be aaopted, saia the time was not ripe tor their introduction. “Since then the faults of the law have been demonstrated and Congressional opinion, I believe, will be pretty close to unanimous ior vhe amendments.” ‘fhe amenu:mnents would provide for tax exempting undistributed profits used for plant improvements | and expansion, branch development, preferred stock payments and resunding old debts. “I know several Indiana concerns | waiting to expand their plants | when this metnod of payment is | made possible,” Senator VanNuys said. ‘“‘1rhis will mean jobs for labor financed by private industry, which is such a vital thing tor recovery at this point. “Tne law as now written has retarded industrial recovery without producing the revenues anticipated.” Senator Minton (D. Ind.) agreed that modifications should be made but under the utmost safeguards from “chiselers.”

This | factor is frequently emphasized by Morris Tremaine, New York State Controller, who is agitating for repeal of the tax. One of the major reforms in the capital-gains-and-losses tax was effected in the Roosevelt Administration. Morgan Hearing Recalled

National attention was focused dramatically in the loop-holes in the law when J. P. Morgan testified in 1933 before the Senate Banking Committee that and his partners had paid no income tax for

1931 and 1932, and a negligible tax in 1930, this being achieved by deducting capital losses which wiped out capital gains. It was discovered later that this type of legal | avoidance was widespread. | Under the 1934 revised law, capital losses can be offset only to the amoynt of capital gains plus $2000, the $2000 exemption being added | | to protect the small taxpayer. Net capital gains are taxed according to the amount of time the capital assets have been held. Thus, if capital assets are held a year or less, the gains are 100 per cent taxable. Capital gains are superimposed on other income and the tax is paid on the total net income after deduction of allowable losses, | at the normal and surtax rates,

New Rates Start in 30 Days

RAILS TO SEEK FURTHER HIKE IN FREIGHT RATES

Annual Income of Carriers Boosted $47,500,000 By 1. C. C.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23 (U. P.).—The Interstate Commerce Commission today authorized southeastern railroads to increase coach fares from 1!5 to 2 cents per mile. The new rate will become effective on 10 days’ notice. The southeastern carriers, which operate in territory east of the Mississippi River and south of the Potomac and Ohio Rivers, obtained quick approval of their rates, which do not exceed the maximum of 2 cents per mile prescribed by the Commission.

—

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23 (U. P). | day to seek additional freight rate | [ boosts to supplement increases | totaling $47,500,000 in yearly revfnues on basic commodities granted by the Interstate Commerce Commission yesterday. Basing their plea on rising labor and supply costs, the railroads were expected to try to add another 300 million dollars .to their annual revenues when their executives meet in Chicago Thursday. The next move by railroads probably will be to press for increased tariffs on machinery, chemicals. drugs and miscellaneous manufactured articles which would net them 25 million dollars more in annual revenue. The railroads delayed consideration of these and several thousand other commodities to obtain a quick decision on the basic commodities, which yield a greater portion of the additional revenue sought.

Basic commodities on which increases were allowed by the Commission included bituminous coal and coke, lignite coal, iron, steel and steel products, iron ore, lime, plaster, mortar, gypsum .0il and oil products. The new tariffs will be- | come effective in 30 days, unless they are protested or suspended. The National Coal Association estimated that soft coal traffic will vield approximately 31 million dollars of the increase and predicted that 11 million dollars would be added to consumers’ coal bills between now and Jan. 1. The Commission's decision on basic commodities indicated that it anticipates further requests to increase rates. “The present record clearly discloses the need of applicants for additional revenue,” the Commission said, “and it further discloses a trend to continue or increase that need.”

Cites Rising Material Costs

The increases granted were only slightly more than 1 per cent of the freight revenue of railroads in | 1936, and the increase needed to | offset higher costs has been estimated as high as 10 per cent. President J. J. Pelley of the Association of American Railroads said that since the beginning of 1933 material costs have increased approximately 40 per cent. “I can see no escape from the necessity for additional revenues, beyond the increase in rates just granted, if we are to carry the added costs already upon us,” Mr. Pelley said. Several proposals for increased

G. H. LORIMER, EDITOR, IS DEAD

Built Saturday Fvening Post To Three Miilion Circulation.

WYNCOTE, Pa., Oct. 23 (U.P.).—|

George Horace Lorimer, 69, former editor of the Saturday Evening Post and a pioneer in modern magazine technique, died of pneumonia last night at his 1100-acre “King's Oak” farm. His sons, Graeme and Burford, were at his bedside. He is survived also by his widow, the former Alma V. Ennis of Chicago. He had been ill several weeks. Funeral serices will be held Monday at 3 p. m. at the former editor's home. There will be no church services and interment will be private. The Rev. Frank H. Moss Jr., Episcopalian missionary from the Far East, will officiate at the ceremonies. He is the brother of Mr. Lorimer’s son's wife, Mrs. and is in America on his regular seven years leave. Mr. Lorimer left the Post Jan. 1, 1937, after having been its editor-in-chief for 37 years. He had built it up from a genteel, colorless jour-

| nal with a circulation of approxi- | mately 1800 to a4 5-cent weekly with

more than three million readers. His was the world's biggest magazine job, and in 1935 his salary was given as $100,000 a year. { In resigning the job which the late Cyrus H. K. Curtis gave him in 1899, Mr. Lorimer said “I want a little more leisure, a little more time to attend to my personal affairs, and a chance to do some other work, including some long-deferred writing.” He was succeeded by Wesley Winans Stout, who had been associate editor since 1924,

Started as Packers’ Clerk Mr. Lorimer, born in Louisville, Ky., Oct. 6, 1868, started his career as a $10-a-week clerk with the Armour Packing Co. In eight years

he became superintendent of the |

glue works—at $5000 a year. Then he decided to start again. He resigned, went to Colby College for a year to learn to write, and later obtained a job on the Boston Post. When Mr. Curtis bought the little Saturday Evening Post, which had been founded by Berfjamin Franklin, Mr. Lorimer asked for a job as literary editor, and got it. At that time, the magazine was in a sad state. It contained only pages largely composed of articles reprinted from British magazines. Mr. Curtis went to Europe in 1899 to look for an editor-in-chief. While there, he copies of his magazine and was astounded by the improvement inaugurated by Mr. Lorimer. He cabled Mr. Lorimer to put his own name on the masthead as editor-in-chief.
