SHANGHAI, Nov. 17 @. P.) .—Japanese forces today took a firm grip on the Yangtze River Valley, jugular vein of China, foreshadowing the fall of Nanking and eventual

end of the war. A U. 8S. gunboat sped down the river to protect Americans at Nanking; Chiank Kai-shek resigned civil office to lead a last military stand; Government ministries fled to widely scattered interior cities, hordes of panic-stricken civilians moved out of the capifal as the Japanese approached. Seventy Japanese warships were strung along the Yangtze. An unconfirmed report said that the Japanese had reached the boom barricading the river at Kiangyin, approximately 10 miles south of the capital, and were preparing to open the river. Fear that the Japanese soon would attack the capital heightened. Chinese admitted that once the Kiangyin boom was penetrated the Japanese would drive quickly on Nanking.

Evacuation Fever Spread

The evacuation fever spread rapidly. Thousands of residents—rich merchants, civil employees, students, coolies and beggars — jammed the water front, railway stations and train sheds, surrounded by their household goods, weeping women and crying babies. President Lin Sen already had left for Chungkiang, far up the Yangtze in Szechuan Province. Five other ministries went with him. The majority of Government offices were bare of files. The Russian embassy was the first to announce plans to move up the river and the United States, British, French and German diplomatic corps were expected to follow when the Government announced definite plans. U. S. Boat on Way

The United States river gunboat Oahu was en route to the capital from Ichang, 450 miles up the Yangtze, presumably to offer protection to 56 Americans in Nanking. More than 200 other foreigners are in the city. Chiang Kai-shek, the country’s strong man, was reported to have relinquished his post as head of the Executive Council, corresponding to a cabinet, to devote his entire time to the Army. Chinese military authorities were expecting the first (Turn fo Page Three)

Critical of Debt Suspension.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17 (U. P.).—The House today refused to consider immediately a resolution calling on President Roosevelt to declare that a state of war exists between Japan and China and invoke the Neutrality Act. Rep. Sam D. McReynolds (D. Tenn.), chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee objected to debate on the measure, introduced by Rep. Harry Sauthoff (Prog. Wisc.).

Rep. Sauthoff cited President Roosevelt's Armistice Day remarks of 1935 describing the purpose of the act: “We are acting to simplify definitions and facts by calling war, war, when armed invasion and a resulting killing of human beings takes place.” The resolution declared the President had signed the neutrality act and cited the Brussels Conference at which the United States is represented as proof a state of war exists in the Far East.

French Senator Condemns

Debt Payment Suspension

PARIS, Nov. 17 (U. P.).—Strongly condemning suspension of war debt payments to the United States, Senator Henry Berenger speculated in a lecture today on the possibility of American aid against a German-Italian-Japanése military alliance. Senator Berenger, who is chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and one of the principal counselors in French Foreign Policy, charged that the Ger-man-Italian-Japanese anti-Commu-nist alliance actually constitutes a military alliance, and that it 1s aimed at conquest with France as the first victim. Of the United States, he said: “Certain of our compatriots, among them those most ready to participate in Franco-American ceremonies, would do ‘well to reflect once for all that true alliances cannot be proved by speeches or festivities on happy days but through loyal execution of engagements solicited and contracted in difficult days”—meaning the war debt obligations. Cites Japanese Demand

Senator Berenger proceeded to assert that Japan had demanded bluntly that France stop munitions to China through French IndoChina. He said: “I am not betraying a great diplomatic secret,” he said, “in recalling a certain demarche which the Japanese Ambassador made to the Quai d'Orsay at the beginning of the present war in the Far East. The purpose of this demarche was to inform France that any intervention, even sending of supplies to China, might result in probable occupation of Hainan Island and certain of our Indo-China ports. “I am not betraying a great diplomatic secret in recalling that the Siamese Government increased its permanent army to 100,000 men equipped with the most perfected arms and that this Government is inspired by Hitlerian doctrines and finally that it entertains friendly relations with the Japanese Government closely resembling an alliance. “Premediated or sudden attack by One or several powers must not be excluded from present risks. There is nothing particularly peaceful in the German-Italian-Japanese alliance if we carefully listen to the words of the three totalitarian states.”

ROAD PATROLS HELD UNLIKELY

Stiver and Ray Doubt That Immediate Increase Is Possible.

DEATHS UP 46 PER CENT

W. Washington St. Called Most Perilous Stretch Of Highway.

(Editorial, Page 18)

While the Marion County traffic toll outside the city limits remained approximately 46 per cent above last year’s figures, State Safety Di-

rector Donald Stiver and Sheriff Ray predicted no immediate increase in the number of highway patrolmen.

Mr. Stiver said the State force here was increased to 12 on Oct. 1. Sheriff Ray has no men or equipment to patrol the highways during the day and only three squads of deputies for night work, he said. However, Sheriff Ray said the recent purchase of two fast cars to replace old models will aid some in safety patrol work.

44 Die Outside City

“W. Washington St. is our most dangerous stretch of highway. If I had men and equipment I'd soon slow down the speed and I believe the accident rate would be reduced as the result,” the Sheriff said. Forty-four persons have died in County accidents, outside Indianapolis since Jan. 1 as compared with 30 for the same period last ‘year. State reports on Oct. 1 showed Marion County to rank 13th in the rate of fatalities among counties over 25,000 population.

Driver Faces Five Charges; 11 Others Get Tickets

One motorist was arrested on five charges as police ordered 12 more alleged speeders to face Judge Charles J. Karabell in Municipal Court today. Three persons were injured, none seriously, in a series of overnight accidents. Total arrests for the 24hour period ending at 6 a. m. today numbered 56. In Municipal Court voday, Judge Charles Karabell fined 20 of the offenders a total of $188 and suspended $80 in costs. Two speeders paid $26. One of them, Frank Haruban, 778 N. Concord St., was fined $10 and costs after officers testified he was traveling 43 miles an hour in a 20-mile-an-hour zone on W. Michigan St. Robert Allison, 33, Route 15, Box 60, was arrested by police who reported they saw him driving 50 (Turn to Page Three)

WORTHINGTON THIEF KILLED IN AMBUSH

Police Open Fire After Tavern Robbery.

Times Special WORTHINGTON, Nov. 17.— Caught in a police ambush as he walked out of a tavern he had looted, Henry Davey, 51, was shot and killed here today. Davey broke into the Casino tavern and stole a slot machine and $8.55 from a cash register, police said. Waiting officers, who far weeks had been hunting a burglar responsible for a wave of Worthington thefts, opened fire. Police said Davey was attempting to fire a sawed-off shotgun when he fell with five buckshot in his chest. Coroner George Porter, Linton, returned a verdict of justifiable homicide. Police sald Davey's driver's license gave his home as Sullivan.

La Guardia Renominated As Mayors’ President

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17 (U. P.).

—The nominating committee of the |l

U. S. conference of mayors today unanimously named Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia of New Yark for another term as conference president. Mayor La Guardia, it was learned, informed the committee that he preferred that the nomination be given to someone else. Nevertheless members circulated a petition asking Mayor La Guardia to accept the renomination. The conference called attention to recent increases in relief rolls and today directed thelr executive committee to survy conditions in December and present recommendations for action to the January session of . The conference adopted more than a dozen resolutions, including one calling on the American Federation of Labor and Committee for Industrial Organization to adjust differences in the interest of

labor, industry and the general pub1C.

Mayor La Guardia said today that “Mrs. Dionne had an easy time with the quintuplets compared with what we Mayors have to go through to get housing.” Mayor La Guardia proposed that the new Federal Housing Administrator, Nathan Strauss, eliminate all attorneys from his staff and that the Mayors do likewise.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17 (U. P)). Stewart McDonald, FHA Administrator, told the special construction conference of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce today that FHA intends to intensify efforts to develop rentai housing and building for lower income families, He spoke before a conference of businessmen and Government leaders, including some members of President Roosevelt's Special Housing Committee, seeking means of stimulating a building boom.

THRE INDICTED FOR DEATHS IN TRAFFIC

Grand Jury Charges Five With Holdup Murders.

The Marion County Grand Jury this afternoon indicted three persons on charges of involuntary

manslaughter in connection with fatal traffic accidents and five persons with first degree murder as the result of holdup slayings. Trenna Edgerton was charged with involuntary manslaughter in an indictment which alleged his automobile struck and fatally injured Lewis Gordon Birschy on Oct. 26 in Keystone Ave. Woodrow Kysar was charged with involuntary manslaughter in connection with the traffic death of Mabel Cassidy last July 14. Herbert Koons, involved in an accident in August, 1936, was named in the third invoiuntary manslaughter indictment. Herman Borneman and James Perdue, held in County Jail, were indicted on first degree murder charges, in the slaying of Edward Maze during a robbery Oct. 28. Robert Dwinell, Paul Eggers and Lawrence Willoughby also were indicted on first degree murder charges in connection with the death of Charles McCoy, alleged to have been beaten fatally during a robbery.

EARTH'S SHADOW ON MOON TOMORROW

WASHINGTON, Nov. 17 (U. P). ~The earth's shadow will cross the moon early tomorrow morning, producing a lunar eclipse. It won't be much of an eclipse because only one seventh of the moon's area will be obscured by the shadow. Astronomers and amateur observers, however, will watch the phenomena with interest to see if the predicted time for its oceurrence is correct.

The eclipse is scheduled to begin at 1:37 a. m. (Indianapolis Time).

The coat was identified by John

Corbett, prison guard, as the one which John Oley, Percy (Baby Face) Geary and Harold (Red) Crowley took with them when they broke out of the penitentiary at at nearby Jamesville early yesterday. Mr. Corbett was one of the four guards who were bound and gagged by the three men in their break to freedom.

Forced Wife to Fix Lunch

Md. King reported to police that thre emen, who mhe identified as Oley, Geary and Crowley, saized his automobile last night, thrust him in the rear seat and drove to the outskirts of the city. They turned back, however, when they found State Police guarding the highways and drove to his home, Mr. King said, where they forced his wife to fix them coffee and sandwiches. Later, Mr. King reported, they drove downtown and left him near a railroad station after warning him to “keep his mouth shut.” Mr. King said a man he believed to be Geary left the blue overcoat he was wearing and took a gray one belonging to King. Authorities had discounted a police report that three men who drove to the Oneonta Railroad station in a mud-splattered light sedan might be the convicts, pointing out that if they were in Syracuse last night it would have been all but impossible for them to have evaded the cordon of G-Men, St#te Police and deputy sheriffs thrown around the city.

New Search Ordered

Directors of the search said they were convinced the convicts never left the city, thereby also discounting the report of a Herimker lunchwagon cook who said he was certain he had served coffee to the three men three hours after they broke out of jail. Another canvass of all vacant houses and buildings and ‘cheap rooming houses and hotels was ordered. Three hundred and fifty State troopers, 50 G-Men and the entire Syracuse and Onandaga County police departments were concentrated here in the search. Other officers, warned that the felons doubtless would “shoot it out” if seen, guarded roads throughout the state.

Give Farmers Parity With Industry and Labor, He Says.

SPEECH IS READ

Mount Vernon Talk Marks Agriculture Bureau Founding.

(Roosevelt Text, Page 19)

MOUNT VERNON, Va, Nov. 17 (U. P.).—President Roosevelt today called for enactment of a nationally integrated farm program to give farmers parity with industry and labor in meeting modern

economic conditions. Mr. Roosevelt’ address was presented to a celebration marking the 75th anniversary of the establishment of the Department of Agticulture and institution of the land grant college program. It was read to the gathering by Secretary of Agriculture Wallace. Mr. Roosevelt is confined to the White House with an infected tooth. The President drew on the views of George Washington in support of

his thesis that modern conditions demand a national approach to farm problems. “George Washington's own words,” said Mr. Roosevelt, “show that he considered agricultural production even in his time to be much more than a local matter. Yet many changes were destined to come that he could not possibly foresee.” The President declared that the protective tariff policy had placed agriculture in America at a permanent disadvantage. He cited the intricate financial system ‘whereby farm mortgages were linked through life insurance investments to millions of urban residents.

Would Have Acted Boldly

Washington, said Mr. Roosevelt, “could not foresee that fixed charges such as taxes, interest and freight rates would push thousands of farmers into bankruptcy wherevér the prices of farm commodities collapsed.” The President declared that if Washington had lived today ‘he would have acted boldly to keep agriculture from going down to ruin.” “We can be sure,” said the President, “that he would not have denied to agriculture advantages which Government has so freely granted to industry. All his actions indicate that he would have supported farmers in programs of the type they have adopted.”

Drought Loss Recalled

“The nation’s farm lands lose yearly through water and wind erosion 21 times as much plant food as the crops themselves use. The monetary loss through erosion is estimated at 400 million dollars an-

nually,” Mr. Brandon, who is Bu- |

reau secretary-treasurer, said. “On May 11, 1934, during the drought, a dust bowl wind storm took 300 million tons of top soil into the air and scattered it. That is nearly as much as is taken down the Mississippi River annually, “Since 1920, because of these erosions and the lack of soil conservation programs, and in spite of improved seed and growing methods the fertility of our farm lands has decreased steadily. And along with it, the income of the farmer has decreased.” L. L. Needler, legislative bureau director for the organization, vesterday told the delegates that the existence of “annual six million dollar surpluses” indicated that ‘“‘property taxes are too high and that 20 per cent of the cost of Social Security should be shifted from the counties to the State.” I. H. Hull, Indiana Farm Bureau Co-operative, Inc., manager, told delegates today that some advances had been made in co-operative marketing and buying and that there was room for more. E. C. Foust, the Hoosier Farmer editor, urged the delegates to co-oper-ate more closely with the newspaper editors in their home towns so that the bureau could be represented in the newspaper columns. Hassil E. Schenck, state bureau president, also called attention yesterday to the desirability, from the farmer’s point of view, of shifting more of the social security tax burden from landowners to the state, He said that the farmer neither asked for nor benefited from the Welfare Law and that the taxes he paid to its financing were unjust, Mr. Needler said that the 92 counties of the state are now paying about 20 per cent of the total cost of the social security program. He said that at the same time taxes are mounting and the state is building a surplus at the rate of about $500,000 a month, This balance, he said, is becoming top heavy and is an indication that property taxes should be cut. The social security cost now is divided, he said, so that the Fed-

the state 30 per cent and counties 20 per cent, Dr. J. O.

Pettengill Says Party Ought to Back VanNuys

By DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Nov. 17-<Rep. Samuel B. Pettengill (D. Ind), predicted today that “a 100-per-cent New Dealer cannot be elected to the Senate by Indiana Democrats next year.” He also said “the State Administration organization may be forced by circumstances to turn to renomination of Senator VanNuys if it does not want to lose the final election.” That decision, Rep. Pettengill said, now rests with fermer Governor McNutt, Philippine High Commissioner. Mr. Pettengill himself long ago deserted the New Deal and is con-

fast,” Rep. Pettengill declared. “I doubt that you could elect a 100-per-cent New Dealer to the Senate from Indiana right now, and the trend will be to make it even more difficult next year. “So if the leaders are wise, Hoosier Democracy will drop its plans to nominate a comparative stranger in the state on the mere grounds that he is a 100-per-center, “They will keep Senator VanNuys, who has a record of being a real liberal without being just a White stooge.

Chairman Smith (D. 8.

Congressional sentiment for im= mediate action to revise the undis~ tributed profits tax and otherwise aid business mounted in capitol cor | ridors and in introduction of proe posed tax amendments despite the Administration's desire to delay action until the 1938 session. Senator Bulkley (D. O.), proposed a three-point amendment program to aid small business. Leaders of the campaign were seeking a meth od by which they could force action at the special session, The Senate filibuster continued in deadly fashion when the Chamber reassembled at noon. Senator Cone nally (D.
