- CHIANG KALSHEK GOES TO HONG
Chinese Flee From Hankow; Generalissimo Is Criticized;
Fed
Canton Entered by Bulk Of Invading Army On Parade.
HONGKONG, Oct. 22 (U. P.)— Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek was said on high authority today to have arrived in Hongkong, probably to meet the British Ambassador Sir A. Clark Kerr and discuss peace be-
tween Ching and Japan. - The military leader of all China was accompanied by his talented, American-educated wife; by Wang Chung-hui, China’s foreign minis- _ ter, a Yale graduate, and by Wang Ching-wei, president. of the Executive Council until the war-time reorganization of the Government, when he was stripped of all posts. Chinese credit him both with being a “peace at any price” man and the originator of the “scorched earth” policy of defense.
SHANGHAI Oct. 22 (U. P.).—A rocket fired during a Japanese celebration of the fall of Canton struck the U. S. cruiser Augusta today, setting fire to an airplane on the cruiser’s deck,
Gen. Chiang was in a difficult position, faced by dissension within the ranks of his own followers, and bitterness among the Chinese over the easy Japanese capture of Canton, almost without the firing of a shot. : Change Demanded
Eugene Chen, outstanding Southern Chinese leader and formerly Foreign Minister, attacked Gen. Chiang’s military ability and demanded a change in China’s leadership. Bitterly commenting on the fall of Canton, Dr. Chen said in a statement to the United Press: “Chiang Kai-shek must remember the Cantonese in every corner of the world who have contributed to the national defense. They will exact an account from those responsible for the Canton disaster. The persons responsible will not escape by going abroad.” : Shortly before Dr. Chen made his statement another Chinese leader of world standing, who asked that his anonymity be preserved, blamed the fall of Canton on “criminal inefficiency.” : Thousands of Chinese troops were reported trapped between the Can-ton-Hongkong railroad and the Pearl River as the main body of Japanese troops prepared to make a ceremonious entry into Canton. All reports indicated , that the great city of Canton was taken by about 3000 mechanized Japanese troops. The main body of 30,000 arrived on the outskirts of the city only last night and paraded into Canton in triumph today.
Japanese 30 Miles
From Hankow Goal SHANGHAI, Oct. 22 (U. P)—A _ mass evacuation of Hankow was started today as the Japanese, following up their occupation of Canton, reached a point within 30 miles of the emergency capital. * Chinese authorities and scores of thousands of the civilian population began evacuating in the early hours of this morning and it was understood that by dawn the city had been turned over entirely to the defending Chinese Army. The evacuation extended to Hankow’s sister “Wuhan” cities—Hanyang and Wuchang—adjoining it at the junction of the Yangtze and Han Rivers. Headquarters of the Eighth Route Army, the former Chinese Communnist Army, was removed.
40 Bombs Dropped
Thirty-six Japanese planes dropped 40 bombs on Hankow, Wuchang and Hanyang today. Eighteen other planes dropped 40 bombs on the Kiangnan station of the Han-kow-Peiping Railroad, two miles down the river. Two fires could be seen burning in the raid area. Japanese reports - were that Chinese troops on the south bank river had begun to retreat to Changsha, 200 miles south of Hankow on the Hankow-Canton Railroad. The Chinese Government, which has long anticipated Hankow’s fall, already had established .its administrative departments at Chungking, 700 miles up the Yangtze by air line and 800 along the winding river route.

French Cabinet Meets as Diplomatic Shakeup Is Rumored.
BUDAPEST, Hungary, Oct. 22 —Hungary may take armed action against Czechoslovakia within 48 hours unless the Praha Government
makes an offer enabling resumption of negotiations over its Hungarianpopulated territories, informed politicians said today. Mpre than 500,000 Hungarian troops were massed along the Hun-garian-Czechoslovakia ‘frontier as a result of the latest call to the colors. Radical elements in the Army were said to be impatient and would not be held in check long. These elements demanded that Czechoslovakia offer immediately to resume negotiations, hinging chiefly upon the cession to Hungary of the border towns, Komaron, Kaschau, Munkacs and Sergszasz.
French Cabinet Votes To Force More Work :
PARIS, Oct. 22 (U. P.).—The Cabinet, setting as a formal Council of Ministers under President Leburn, voted today to take penalizing action against all who fail to work the supplementary hours ordered by the Government in the arms industry. The decision was ' intended to back up the recent decree authorizing extension of the 40-hour work week in key industries in order to speed up national defense contracts. Premier Daladier reported to the meeting on the economic and financial situation and plans for emergency recovery decrees. The Cabinet approved also an extensive shakeup of the diplomatic service as the first move in a reorientation of foreign policy, but withheld publication until the governments to which envoys are to be accredited was received.
Diplomats to Be Moved
It had been decided already that Andre Francois-Poncet, Ambassador to Germany, should go to Rome and, after recognizing King Victor Emmanuel as “Emperor of Ethiopia,” patch up relations with Italy. M. Francois-Poncet is to be replaced at Berlin by Robert Coulondre, Ambassador to Moscow. Emile Naggiar, Ambassador to China, is expected to be the next Ambassador to Moscow. Erik Labonne, Ambassador to the Spanish Loyalist Government, is to be sent to Tunis as Resident General. - M. Labonne is not to be replaced, it was understood, and his withdrawal will be the first move toward putting the Loyalists and Rebels on an equal basis. As regards the transfer of M. Coulondre from Moscow to Berlin, there was already speculation here on the possibility that the FrenchRussian military alliance might be permitted to lapse.

eral State Japan's Goal
Nippon Hopes for Loose Local Control by Puppet Regime.
By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Times Foreign Editor :
WASHINGTON, Oct. 22—The fall of Canton and Hankow, according to information from Japanese sources on the scene, is expected
into several autonomous areas under a central, or federal, regime which, in turn, would be dominated by
Japan. Before the rise of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, China was anything but a united country. Semiindependent military dictators lorded it over single provinces or groups of provinces, The result was a very weak nation: The Generalissimo, however, brought about a remarkable change. He put down the war lords or converted them to his own idea of a unified nation more or less patterned after the United States. This unity, backed by an Army trained by Occidentals, was fast making China into a real power.
Annexation Not Intended
It was then that Japan decided to intervene. As long as she had only individual provincial war lords to contend with, many of them corrupt and few of them able, she had little to fear. But with a modern, educated, capable, Westernized leader like Chiang Kai-shek in control, the day when Nippon could no longer dictate to China was only a question of time. So the Generalissimo had te go. That is what the present war is all about. Japanese spokesmen probably are telling the truth when they say they have no intention to annex China. Technically, they have not annexed Manchukuo. What they want is to control China, to be able to exploit the territory, its resources and its population. The best way to do that is by means of puppet governments under a central system, also a puppet. “What I think will happen,” confirms Bunroku Yoshioka, East Asiatic news editor of the Tokyo NichiNichi, “is the division of China into several suitable regions, each with a government appropriate to the economic, political and geographic conditions of the district. . .. There can be no doubt that a special type of federal system will come into existence.” ’ Japan Sees Threat
The trouble with the Generalissimo, according to Editor Yoshioka,
‘was that “with the growth of na-
tionalism, the Chiang regime became more and more powerful.” Gen. Chiang aimed at Chinese unity and “such a centralized regime would be extremely difficult, if not impossible, without such nationalism.” Continuing, he said: “The principles of the Chiang regime, which was established in imitation of the statesmanship of Bismarck and Lenin, were destined to clash with those of China's neighbor. China’s victory over her neighbor would have meant her rise to the proud position of one of the world’s first class powers.” Here, then, is the real, honestly stated reason underlying the determination of the Japanese to destroy Chiang Kai-shek. He must be crushed else China will become a first class power and a menace to Japanese ‘ambitions in the Far East. Predict Chiang’s Doom With Hankow gone, in Japanese opinion, Gen. Chiang will have no place to go. They claim that most of the provincial war lords are either hostile to him or at odds with him. Gen. Chen Chi-yang of the Canton area, for example, was not on terms of intimacy with Gen. Chiang—which fact may account for the rapid capitulation of that metropolis without any great effort at defense. The province of Kwangsi, immediately to the west, is in the hands of Generals Li Tsung-jen and Pai Chung-hsi, and they, also, are at variance with the Generalissimo. Chungking, present temporary seat of the Chinese Government, is in Szechwan Province whose war lords, according to the Japanese are likewise unfriendly. Thus they expect Gen. Chiang to retreat to Keiyang, in the province of Kweichow, via Hunan,

SECRET NOTES ON SPY ASKED
Department of State Likely To Ignore Subpena for Its Memoranda.
NEW YORK, Oct. 22 (U. P.).— The State Department probably will ignore a subpena from Federal Judge John TC. Knox requesting details of its questioning of Guenther Gustav Rumrich, a confessed spy who turned Government's evidence against three codefendants, it was understood today. The information would reveal the entire workings of the spy ring. ; Benjamin Matthews, counsel for Erich Glaser, on trial with Otto Herman Voss, an airplane mechanic, and Johanna Hofmann, a hairdresser, sought to obtain the memoranda made by State Depart= ment officials from the questioning of Rumrich after his arrest. Judge Knox said he would issue the subpena, but pointed out that it was within the discretion of the State Department to ignore it.
Tells Strange Story
The trial was in adjournment over the week-end. It will be resumed Monday when Rumrich, who blandly told the jury of 10 men and two women yesterday that he became a spy to trap his coconspirators, because he loved America, his adopted country, again will be crossexamined. Rumrich told an intriguing story, so much so that Judge Knox intervened in the cross-examination. He had said he was full of gratitude to the United States Army in which he had served, and that he took up espionage only to gather evidence to win his reinstatement and clear himself of being a deserter. Judge Knox then interrupted and asked the witness if he would have turned the plans of the airplane carriers, Enterprise and Yorktown, over to his German employers if he had them. “I wouldn’t have done it,” Rumrich replied calmly. “I wouldn't have sent them to Germany.”
NEW SINGING TOWER WILL BE DEDICATED
A singing tower, installed at a cost of more than $7000, at the Indiana School for the Blind, 7725 College Ave., will be dedicated tomorrow in services to begin at 2:30 p. m. at the school. The mechanism was given by Mrs. C. M. Kitselman, Muncie, in memory of her husband. There will be speakers and a program of music,

QUERIES MOUNTING ON PAY LAW HERE
U. S. Agencies Direct Appeals to Washington.
Requests for information on the Wage-Hour Law, which goes into effect Monday, continued to pour into the Indianapolis office of the Indiana Employment Service and other agencies today. Booklets describing the Act and distributed this week fail to make clear many of the exceptions to the law. Also many employers have been left in doubt as to whether they are included in interstate commerce as defined in the Act. Elmer PF. Andrews, Wage-Hour Administrator, has anonunced that Region 6, composed of Indiand, Illinois and Wisconsin, will have its headquarters at Chicago. As yet no ‘notification has been received here of the establishment of the
ISSUE WARNING
ON ‘TECHNICAL’ WAGE SLASHES
Andrews and Aid Rule That
Cuts to Avoid Overtime ‘May Be lllegal.
(Continued from Page One)
if employees working a long week are now being paid “well above 25 cents an hour, it seems to me there would not be much question about time and a half for overtime. You could figure, in that weekly wage, that time and a half over the 44 hours had been given consideration.” Today’s formal bulletin specifically declined to guarantee immunity to an employer who works his men long hours and who now cuts his hourly rates with the intent of maintaining the same weekly wage for the same number of hours. The bulletin warned that a court might hold that the original higher rate was the “regular rate of pay” and that therefore employees working more than 44 hours a week would have to be paid one and onehalf times that rate. Mr. Magruder ruled that the intent of Congress “was clearly to penalize overtime work.” The ruling is expected to compel many employers to revise their work schedules before Monday, when the act becomes effective, in order to avoid heavy overtime costs. Considerable spreading of work may result; also, many workers may earn less money per week than heretofore, because of working shorter hours.
Company Stores Target
At the same time, Mr. Andrews struck a blow at abuses of the scrip system, used in connection with many “company stores.” He ruled that employers who provide board, lodging, etc., as a part of their workers’ wages, cannot make excessive deductions from wages for such services in. order to evade the 25-cents-an-hour minimum wage requirements. Only “reasonable cost” may be considered in such computations. In the past it has often been charged that companies which pay their men in scrip, exchangeable for merchandise only at company stores, have charged unduly high prices at these stores. Scrip has sometimes been convertible into cash only at a discount. Under regulations issued today, employees who think they are being paid less than the minimum wage because the employer is putting too high a value on the lodging, or the scrip, or other services he provides, may request a hearing. Rules for Children Issued Regulations for the employment of 14-and-15-year-old children were announced by Miss Katherine Lenroot, chief of the U. S. Children’s Bureau, which administers the child-labor sections of the act. She ruled that no child of 14 or 15 may work in manufacturing, in mining, in any occupation “requiring the performance of duties in workrooms or work places where goods are produced,” in the operation of motor vehicles or as helpers on such vehicles, or in messenger service. : In other occupations such children may work only in the following periods: (1) Outside school hours, (2) Not more than three hours on any school day, (3) Not more than eight hours on any other day, and (4) Between 6 a. m. and 7 p. m. The act also forbids employment of children under 18 in hazardous occupations. Miss Lenroot said a committee would be set up to study this subject. After conferences with cmployees, workers and experts, orders will be issued governing specific occupations. Meanwhile, children of 16 and 17 may continue to work at hazardous jobs if state laws permit. Railroad labor leaders said today
Hair-Raiser
J udge Weighs Question Of Who Pulled Whose.
ISS DALLIAN FLOYD, 501 " Smith's. Lane, - bent her head in Municipal Court today so that Judge John McNelis might. see what appeared to be a partially bald spot. ; “See, Judge,” she said, “that’s where they pulled the hair out.” “They” . . . Mrs. Mary Herron and her daughter, Margaret . . . charged with assault and battery, didn’t say anything. “And Judge,” said Miss Floyd, fumbling with her purse and presently drawing forth a package, “here’s the hair.” There was, the Judge admitted, some hair there. Both Mrs. and Miss Herron immediately told the Judge that the exhibit was not Miss Floyd's hair but Mrs. Herron’s, which they claimed Miss Floyd snatched from the Herron head. However, the loose hair was & dark brown, whereas Mrs. Herron’s hair was black and Miss Floyd’s was blond. Judge McNelis withheld judgment. . :
STUDENTS’ ROLE IN STRIKE BARED
Murphy Denies His Action At Flint in 1937 Was ‘Treasonable.’
WASHINGTON, Oct. 22 (U. P.)— Hungry college students brought an end to last year’s “labor holiday” at Lansing, Mich., Donald W. Gardner, Detroit reporter, told the House Committee Investigating Un-Amer-ican Activities today. Students at the Michigan State College at East Lansing entered the picture, Mr. Gardener said, when union pickets attempted to close restaurants. “When college students get hungry,” Mr. Gardener said, “they act.” The action, he said, took the form of dunking six or eight pickets in the Red Cedar River.
Murphy Defends His Strike Policy
FLINT, Mich, Oct. 22 (U. P.).— Governor Murphy defended in a campaign address here last night his actions during the Flint auto sitdown strike of 1937. His address, in effect, answered charges made a few hours earlier before the Dies Committee accusing him of “treasonable and obstructive” tactics during the strike. The accusations were made by John M. Barringer, former ' City Manager, and Circuit Judge Paul V. Gadola of Flint. “The truth is that civil war was imminent in Flint during February, 1938,” Mr. Murphy declared. “There was only one course that a responsible Governor could take. That was to avert any action that might have disrupted negotiations then in progress.” :
wages of about 30,000 railroaders, principally in the South and Southwest, who now make less than 25 cents an hour. Most of these are section men, crossing watchmen, freight handlers, ete. : George Harrison, Railway Labor Executives Association president, said some 3000 “red caps” would also be entitled to the 25-cents-an-hour minimum. Many of these now are compensated only by tips. The Wage-Hour Division has made no ruling on the status of
