(Editorial, Page 16)
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15 (U. P.).—The United States Government waited today for Japan to make another and better attempt to settle the international incident caused by the sinking of the American gunboat ‘Panay by Japanese airplanes. : Frankly dissatisfied with the apologies and offers of indemnity contained in a note received from the Japanese Foreign Office through American Ambassador Joseph C. Grew in Tokyo yesterday, President Roosevelt and Secretary of State Hull awaited a direct and categorical reply to their demands for “satisfaction.” The note received from Foreign Minister Koki Hirota was prepared and handed to Ambassador Grew before the President's - demands, which he requested be brought to the personal attention of Emperor Hirohito, and the stiffly worded note from Secretary Hull had been filed with the Foreign Office. It was not considered a reply,
Awaits Emperor's Action
satisfy this Government. Officials professing to know something of what was in Mr. Roosevelt’s mind when he pointed his demands directly at Emperor Hirohito, said the President .would be satisfied with nothing less than an apology or its equivalent from the Emperor, and assurances from a er authority than those received heretofore thdt there would be no repetition off a similar attack by Japanese forces on American nationals or their property in China. Questioned at his press conference concerning his intentions in this regard, the President said his memorandum to Secretary Hull, which was given to the Japanese Ambassador Hirosi Saito, spoke for itself. Protest Note Stiffly Worded
Mr. Hull followed this with 8 stiffly worded, formal protest, reciting at length the facts of the Panay bombing and the’ futility of previous Japanese assurances against interference with or injury to American nationals and their prqperty in
China. - In both the President’s and Secretary Hull's protests was seen the determination of this Government to resist the efforts of Japan to settle the Panay bombing on the basis only of the attack on the American gunboat and its convoy of Standard Oil ships. Officials said the protests rested upon & broader base than merely the Panay incident. They rest upon the principle of the “open door” policy in China and the illegality of Japanese interference with American life, rights or property there, they said. In support of these statements officials pointed to the final clause in Secretary Hull’s protest demanding for American nationals, interests, and property in China immunity from “attack by Japanesearmed forces or unlawful interference by any Japanese authorities or forces whatsoever.” Only upon this basis, it was said, would this Government consider the affair closed. Realizes Full Gravity It was believed that the Japanese Government now realizes the gravity of the situation and the seriousness with which the United States , views the y attack. The realization by Japanese officials was revealed in the note from Foreign Minister Hirota which said, in closing: “The Japanese Government in the fervent hope that the friendly relations between Japan and the United States will not be affected by this unfortunate affair, have frankly stated as above their sincere attitude which I beg your excellency to make known to your Go ent.” : ] was the first time in the series of apologies for the Panay incident which have been forthcoming from Japanese officials of all categories that the resultant strain on the relations between the two . countries has been frankly mentioned. |

Further Action to Depend On Full Report Due After Study.
DANIEL M. KIDNEY Times Staff Writer
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15. — A thorough investigation of the Lockefield Gardens housing project in Indianapolis was ordered today by Nathan Straus, United States Housing Authority administrator. Although completed last June, the $4,000,000 Negr slum clearance project has not been accepted by the Government because of defects in the masonry which allowed moisture to seep through the walls. Mr. Straus said he would organize a staff of three of the leading building experts of the country and send them to Indianapolis at once,
Full Probe to Be Asked
“They will be instructed to make a thorough inspection of every detail of the building and make a complete report to my office,” he said. “They will be asked to determine who and what are to blame for the conditions.” Further action in connection with the project will depend upon the report, he said. 3 | “No occupants will be permitted in the building until all dangers are removed.” “Order for the investigation followed a conference in Mr. Straus’ office with J. B. French, construction chief of all Federal projects, and Dcnald Jones, housing company adviser. Mr. French said that the buildings were erected under the Public Works Administration and that they were not turned over to the Housing Authority until Nov. 1. The N. P. Severin Contracting Co., Chicago, erected: the building.

Interurban Car. Jumps Rails. RAIN MOVES EAST West Sees Signs of Relief From Glaze.
By United Press : Fast-freezing rain which has covered states from the Rockies tothe Alleghenies with a crippling glaze of ice for three days moved further eastward toward the Atlantic coast today as the Far West
saw some signs of relief. In East Liverpool, O., anin terurban car jumped its icy tracks on a curve, injuring at least 18 persons, one critically. | The Steubenville, East Liverpool and Beaver Valley traction car jumped the rails in the downtown area. It sideswiped two automobiles and a telephone pole and came to a stop finally in a used-car lot. The car was crowded with pottery workers, on their way to jobs in Fast Liverpool and in Wellsville, O., and the neighboring West Virginia towns of Chester and Newell. All seats were occupied and passengers were standing in the aisle, when the car began its wild race. Brakes and sand failed to check its speed, which observers said appeared to reach 50 miles per hour before the derailment. Operator Hurt Seriously Three ambulances sped the injured to hospital, where at least 16 were reported admitted. At least
Hospital attendants said most of the number were reiéased after treat-
Physicians said Charles E. Dietz, €0, operator of the car, was the most seriously injured. : Among those cut severely were Charles W. Davis, 58, cigar store owner, and George Firth, €0, pottery worker. Names of the other injured were not known immediately. : Rain or snow fell today in Western New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia. Temperatures ‘generally were low enough to freeze the water as it landed, coating highways and utility lines with ice. -
Western Skies Clearing
- The same freezing rain continued to fall over most of the Middle West—from Ohio to Iowa and Mis-
souri. | : Farther west, skies were clearing. A warm air stream moved up slowly from the southwest to raise temperatures in Midwestern states slightly. The U. S. Weather Bureau at Chicago expected it to thaw the glaze partially but a forecast of cloudy skies offered little relief for at least 24 hours. : The glaze crippled transportation and communication facilities whereever it struck. : Highway traffic was tied up in southern Indiana, Illinois, eastern Missouri, southern Wisconsin and Iowa. Police received reporis of hundreds of minor accidents. Motorists found another hazard in ice that_formed on windshields and obstructed visibility. Twenty-eight villages in Oklehoma were isolated as ice coatings snapped communication lines and paralyzed transportation services. Glen Losure, 34, Enid, Okla., maintenance man, died after a fall from a pole while repairing a telephone line. : :
