The troops were destined immedi- ately for strengthening Japanese garrisons in the North China cities of Tientsin and Peiping. - The main body of the newcomers ‘was quartered in barracks of the Japanese concession in Tientsin, bringing the total strength of this garrison to nearly 10,000. Japan informed the United States and other foreign embassies in Peip- ing of the amazing increases in the garrisons only Thursday when they ‘were already an accomplished fact. The arrival of the reinforcements ‘was believed by Chinese to presage an ultimate coming of a full Japanese army division of 15,000 men. ‘The Japanese also are planning construction of a modern four-lane highway from Taku, at the mouth of the Pei river, to Tientsin, and are building extensive new barracks and aviation fields in Tientsin.

Addressing the American club in Paris, he avowed France's desire to “live in peace with all,” but said his country, of course, would be inclined to more friendly relations with na- ae having a like “ideal of social jus- ce.” As for the American war debt, Blum asserted France believed the question ‘wipéd out,” and deplored what he called a tragic international misun- derstanding over the issue. Talked With Eden Earlier, Blum and Anthony Eden, the British foreign secretary, had talked about future policy toward Germany and Italy. ‘The day saw more Japanese troops marching suddenly in China, wit- nessed the departure of another League of Nations member and brought rumors of impending British cabinet shakeups. League officials ascribed the resig- nation of Guatemala to “commercial France and the United States over the debt issue might be lifted, Baye US ty ret oo He said the United States had not sufficiently understood how. closely the Dawes reparations plan and the Hoover war debt moratorium were linked in the French mind with the question of debt payment. On the other hand, the Socialist leader added, French opinion had failed to grasp the reasons for Amer- ican moral condemnation of the debt default. He promised France would “labor with all our heart to strengthen the bonds of friendship which exist be- tween our two republics.” Perhaps one way to achieve this goal, he suggested, was “by a com- mon effort” to attain new economic unity in Europe, with the abolition of tariff barriers. Probe Budget ‘Leaks’ The British cabinet, with one of its members now being named at a ju- dicial inquiry into a budget “leak- age,” was reported in some quarters to be due for “important” changes. One of these rumored shifts would bring Sir Samuel Hoare—he of the controverted Franco-British plan for Ethiopian peace—back into the cab- inet as first lord of the admiralty. In Austria, Prince Ernst von Star- hemberg, ousted from the government by Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg, promised “the world will hear from the Heimwehr,” his private army, “in about a week.

FETE COMMITTEE IS ENCOURAGED BY PUBLIC'S RESPONSE Business Men Contributing Generously to Appeal for Necessary Funds Enthusiastic response to the ap- peal for funds with which to finance the gigantic Pioneer Days celebra- 0: be-held ~hene «July 3-4 and: 5} - was reported Friday by committees which are soliciting the cooperation of local businessmen. Everywhere, solicitors said, busi- nessmen were prepared for them and gave willingly that the cbming enter- tainment for the friends of Bismarck in this and other states might be the higgest in the city’s history. ‘With completion of the solicitation, General Chairman Frank Milhollan said, the way will be cleared for con- centration upon the details of the fete which, in addition to = fire- works display, carnival, athletic con- tests, a pageant and numerous other attractions, wili include a three-day airshow. For of convenience the fund solicitation was arranged upon both a geographical and occupational basis. Appointed as a special group to contact local refreshment parlors, Milhollan announced were Art Bern- stein, J. P. Spies and J. B. Smith with the former as chairman. Special contributions are being asked from them on the ground that the pres- ence in the city of a large crowd will be a boon to their business. At the same time the general com- mittee began search for a young couple now contemplating matri- mony who would be the central figures in a public wedding to be staged as an added attraction on the morning of July 3. The plan is to offer gifts to the happy pair and for the committee to pay such costs as the wedding license and the fee for the preacher or jus- tice of the peace who performs the ceremony. z Anyone interesteds in participating in such a wedding is invited to get in ‘5 touch with the general chairman.

SCRAPPED PARTLY IN FINANCE COMMITTEE Senators Mull Over Dozen Plans With Harrison Hoping for Compromise Washington, May 15.—(?)—Admin- istration leaders in the senate have abandoned President Roosevelt's sug- gestion that corporations be taxed only on their undistributed profits and are battling now to save what they term philosophy of his revenue program. The senate finance committee was determined Friday to retain the pres- ent corporate tax structure instead of abolishing it as suggested by Mr. Roosevelt. The president’s lieuten- ants were seeking to add a surtax on undistributed profits and were facing a stiff fight even on this compromise. A dozen different plans for raising the $620,000,000 of permanent revenue SPEED FLIER WINS S00 BET BY MAKING HOP COSTING $1,000 Howard Hughes Roars 1,885 bs Miles in 8 Hours, 10 Min- utes to Set Mark Los Angeles, May 15.—(?)—Howard Hughes, millionaire aviator, woke up Friday with a Chicago-Los Angeles speed-recerd, a-$50-bet-duly:wen; the remains of a sub-stratosphere headache. He wagered a friend he could fly from the midwest metropolis to Los Angeles between lunch and dinner time. Friday night he roared into suburban Glendale airdrome at 7:15, after covering 1,885 miles in 8 hours 10 minutes and 25 seconds. Then he ate a 75 cent dinner which cost him nearly $1,000 to reach, and said he was glad he did it. “It taught me more in eight hours than the last 15 years have. It was the narrowest escape I've ever had. The only thing that worked on my ship was the engine.” His all metal monoplane bucked a 45-mile an hour headwind from Chi- cago to Kansas City, and ii hoisted Hughes aloft to 20,000 feet when the going became too stiff. “If you ever get caught at 20,000 feet with no oxygen tank, just take & long, deep breath,” he said. “Then you'll be able to keep going. I did. And as for extra trouble—try flying for five hours with ice on your wings!” The young sportman’s performance bettered Col. Roscoe Turner's unof- ficial passage of 8 hours and 26 min- utes. THREE FIRE ALARMS SOUND IN 18 HOURS asked by President Roosevelt wee, before the committee. Chairman Harrison (Dem.-Miss.) was still hoping for a compromise. Committee members seemed to agree on only two things, that a flat tax of about 15 per cent on all cor- porate income probably would be ap- proved, and that dividends would be subjected to the normal income tax rate of four per cent. (The 15 per cent tax would be simi- lar to one in existing law, but the of Mr. Roosevelt’s suggestions. At present dividends are subject to sur- taxes, but not to normal income ffl ut iH mf Smoke and Water Damage Con- siderable at R. E.

Six of the fugitives, who killed a prison brick yard foreman at the start of their spectacular dash across southeastern Oklahoma, remained at large. Four of them, divided in pairs, were reported surrounded in the Antlers vicinity with a posse of 50 officers closing in, and another pair was be- lieved trapped in a mountain stretch near the Arkansas state line. Only a few minutes before officers came upon the farm house lair of the fugitives four of the long-term con- victs released Tuck Cope and Victor Conn, prison guards, and Wilbur Doaks, a cowboy, who had been kid- naped. Cope had been stabbed in the neck and had lost much blood.
