SULLIVAN. Ind., Oct. 12, (UP)— Three bombs exploded in Sullivan today, shattering the quiet of the city and marking a new outbreak in the fight between union and non-union coal miners. One of the bombs awakened patients at the Mary Sherman hospital and residents of a nearby hotel. No damage was reported and officials said they could not determine immediately ju-t where the bombs had been thrown. The first blast occurred at 2 30 a. m., the second at 3:50 a. m. and the third at 4:25. Two were in the north end of town and the third was in the south part of the city. Brig. (icn. D. Wray DePrez, com- | | manding two companies of national guard troops on duty here since Monday, immediately ordered a company at Attica to mobilize and report for
duty.

nied an appeal for a rehearing of the liquor conspiracy case in which former Mayor George Dale and Chief of Police Frank Massey of Muncie
were convicted.
The high court whir i previously had affirmed the sentence of the pair who were convicted in one of Indiana'- most sensati' mil trials refused to change its stand on the case. However, a stay of sentence was granted Clarence Nichols, defense attorney to enable him to perfect an appeal to the U. S. supreme court. The mayor and chief of police have been fighting bitterly ever since their conviction in an effort to have the
trial set aside.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 12. (UP) War clouds in the Far East today drew the anxious attention of Amer-
ican officials.
Soviet Russia again is challenging alleged Japanese encroachments on Russian interest, and citizens in Manchuria. Hot words are being spoken in both T»kio and Moscow.
War appears po-aRdi .
The dispute dates back to 1931 when the Japan' -e war machine, rollI ing indomitably north, crossed the Chinese Eastern railroad at Tsitsihar 1 and invaded IT.-sia’s “-piiere of in- | iTuence'" in northern Manchuria. I Russia, with mild protests, yielded. It had few -oldiers, and small food and munition- -tocks near the Man-
| ehurian-Siberian border.
Moreover, the trans-Sibei i m railroad, vital military and economic attory between Moscow and the Far East, was being reconstructed. T ur-
if it became in the Tar
East, jealous European nations, par ticularly Poland, might attack it from
the rear.
But the Ru-.-ian general staff and the Russian foreign office have moved fast since 1931. These thing havi
happened.
1. Double tracking of the Trausiberian between Moscow and the Manchurian lender has been virtually’ completed. Thus Russia i in a better position t" rush troops and supplies from Euro|>e to the Far Ea-t. 2. A'ast stocks of food and munitions have been piled up at Vladivostok and other points on the Man*
