His pleas Monday did not cover ' the cases of Mayor Anton Cermak of : Chicago and Mrs. Joe H. Gill of Miami, who are in a hospital here. Zangara Monday entered pleas of guilty to the four charges and imme- diately thereafter told Judge E. C. Collins in his own words his story of that night. Zangara showed only one spark of interest during reading of the charges. That was when he heard his name referred to as “Guiseppe Zangara alias Joe Zangara.” i After the sentence was pronounced Zangara said, “Judge, how much you ‘| history, chucking overboard its influ- enn (Bangs Says Probers Were |EARINGBY | cain potion "aoe the te “Yes,” said the judge. | eo Ve Ve permanent members of the league “Oh, judge, don’t be stingy.

Approval of the cabinet’s decision by the privy council and the emperor is considered as certain as is the league assembly's endorsement of the Manchuria report—a report demand- ing that Japan withdraw from mili- tary and political control in that ter- ritory. It was indicated that the Japanese military offensive in the Chinese-ad- ministered province of Jehol might be started Tuesday, simultaneous with the meeting in Geneva of the league assembly to act on the Manchuria re- port. Only a few days ago the league asked Japan formally to promise to stay out of Jehol, Japan declined to Jehol. The cabinet reached definite deci- promise. In quitting the league, Japan with- draws from the western world’s en- and difficult post-war negotations.

A mimeographed sheet circulat- ed at the meeting, issued by the relief conference leaders, charged the joint meeting was called for the “vicious purpose of deliberate- ly destroying the rank and file Farmers State Relief conference.” Leaders of the Farmers Union and Holiday association were ac- cused of being big-salaried “mis- leaders of the farmers” and “fak- irs.” Sharp reductions in the proposed chain store tax were ‘Monday by the house committee on tax and tax laws in recommending the bill for passage Amendments provide for excluding elevators and lumber yards from pro- visions of the bill.
