ing the Marines and the United States. Anti-American placards appeared in the streets. The posters seemed to have little effect on Japanese civilians. Several prominent Japanese expressed a desire for an immediate friendly settlement of the arrest incident, taking the position that the Japanese had been at fauit. Marine authorities received last night a formal Japanese Army protest against the arrest of the gendarmes. Marines arrested them when they entered the marine defense sector, in plain clothes but with arms, as a bodyguard for Gen. Juzo Nishio, Japanese troop commander, who insisted on driving through the marine sector in observance of the third anniversary of the start of the Chinese-Japanese war, Japanese Army men emphasized riousne:ss of the incident and said its outcome depended ‘entirely on the American attitude.” Marine anthorities, translating the protest into English, seemed unimpressed and thought Col. De Witt Peck, the Marine commandant, would reject

Peck indicated that he would counter the Japanese protest with one of his own, asking the Japanese to explain why two of their tanks passed through the marine sector vesterday. He would complain also of Japanese discourtesies.

Colo Williams, to attend an aviation meeting, todav confirmed reports published in Washington that he had resigned from the Marine Corps Reserve because his writings for the Scripps-Howard newspapers had been questioned by superior authorities. He said he had not received official notice of acceptance of his resignation “I had not intended to make any statement regarding this matter” Maj. Williams sald. “But since it has been given publicity, my only comment is that the resignation grew out of differences of opinion over my conception of rue air power, as expressed in my writings, and that of the Navy on the same subject.” Any further comment, he said. must come from the Navy Department. | Al Williams was appointed a capfain in the Marine Corps.

Grace Reynolds, Indiana, and Mrs. | Elsie Fitzsimmons, Rhode Island. Charles Goodspeed, Chicago, was reappointed treasurer of the National Committee; Harold Mason was reappointed secretary, and Henry P. Fletcher, former National chairman, was reappointed general counsel. Sinclair Weeks of Massachusetts was named chairman of the National Committee's executive committee Mr. Martin was asked jokingly if his election as National Chairman presaged his appointment as Postmaster General in Mr. Willkie's Cabinet, “There's only one job I want when the nation elects a Republican House, and that's to be Speaker,” Mr. Martin said.

Tributes Paid at Dinner

Tributes to the standard bearer at last night's dinner given by Republican leaders in Congress were brief than a minute each— but ended on a crescendo of “we want Willkie” which could not be denied, though Mr. Willkie had said he would make no speech “I know that this gallery which calls ‘we want Willkie’ is not a paid gallery,” the nominee said. referring to the Philadelphia convention where his supporters were accused of “packing the galleries He paid his respects to the guests | and that was all he said. Mr. McNary, whom Mr. Willkie had met for the first time onlv a few hours earlier as he emerged | from a bathtub, pledged himself to | “follow my leader,” saying he paid | Mr. Willkie “the greatest compli- | ment in the world to a group of | Congressmen—he is not a lobbyist.” Mr. McNary arrived at the hotel! vesterday some minutes ahead of the time for his appointment and | waited while Mr. Willkie finished a bath. “Hello there, Senator: sorrv to have kept vou waiting,” Mr. Willkie said when they met. Confer for Half Hour “You didn't keep me McNary replied. { They shook hands heartilv, and then went into their conference which lasted about half an hour. Mr. Willkie said to Mr. McNary that he was “very glad to meet him” and that he would “visit your very fine farm in Oregon hefore the campaign is over.” Mr. McNary replied that he, too, was glad to meet his running mate and cordially invited him to “visit me at my farm in Oregon—the best farm in the country.” “I've got the best farm in country,” Mr. Willkie grinned. “All right,” replied McNary, “I've got the best farm outside of Indi- ; ana.” Three defeated candidates for the Presidential nomination — Senators Vandenberg, Taft and H. Styles Bridges, of New Hampshire—pledged their support. “We have a new President of the United States, on order,” said Mr. Vandenberg. “We are going to support Wendell! Willkie for President,” Mr. Taft said. “And I find here more people of the United States with concrete support for him than anywhere else, the people who can get out the vote.” | Mr. Bridges foresaw “an exodus of | New Dealers in January from Wash- | ington.” Mr. Willkie revealed earlier that he had been given 23 pairs of suspenders after a picture was published showing his pants slipping as he charged out of his Philadelphia hotel

Churchill, has supported Chamberlain against widespread criticism, based on the conduct of the early part of the war by Chamberlain's Government. but a new blow has fallen: Publication of a poll showing that a cross-sec-tion of British voters are 77 per cent in favor of Chamberlain's resignation The poll followed anti-Chamberlain many trade unions powerful National Union. It was reported that Chamberlain had several times offered to resign but that Churchill had refused to let him do so.
