The locale of the murders the lowing night has been definitely fixed as the apartment of the victims. i Police said referenccs in Miss Sam- | uelson’s diary which might be cone strued as indicating existence of a strange intimacy among the three - women were not conclusive. The diary is in possession of County Attorney Lioyd Andrews in Los Angeles. Ancther Tells of Party. Corroboration of the theory that men were involved, detectives raid, was ob- tained from a woman Whose name Was withheld .

The Chinese delegates indicated pri- vately that ,while the Briand proposals | were generally acceptable to them, they were dissatisfied with the length of time suggested for completion of the evacua- tion. Assurances were circulated from re- momlble sources that the position of e United States in support of the League’s program remains unchanged, and these assurances improved the psychological atmospher®. Yesterday's program of private con- ferences went something like this Dr. Alfred Sze, the Chinese repre- sentative, sent a memorandum to M. Briand redefiming China's position. M. Briand received the representatives of Great Britain, Germany, Italy and Spain for discussion of the positions taken by China and Japan.

During Premier Pierre Laval's over- night stay at the White House tomor- row night he will oecupy the Lincoin suite, overlooking Pennsylvanfa avenie. and he will sleep upon the huze wslaut bed used py Abraham Lincoln during his administration as President. This bed, which was made to order for the martyred President very soon after he took up his residence in the White House, is 9 feet in length and measures 6 feet across, and despite its ich historic associations, it is consid- ered one of the most comfortable beds in_the entire establishment.

Word had not been re- ceived whether or not Premier Laval would have his daughter, Josette. who is accompanying him on his Washing- ton expedition. accompany him to the White House. However. the so-called pink suite, facing Pennsylvania avenue and fust east of the main portico, has been made ready for her in the event the premier brings her along. Arrange- ments also have been made in event the premier wants his secretary or some one else of his personal retinue to re- main overnight. It was said at the White House today that President Hoover has no intention of taking the French premier to the Rapidan fishing camp. in Virginia, as he did Prime Minister MacDonald. No Routine Is Fixed. Although the President himself has sald nothing about it, the impression is that he and M. Laval will do most of their talking in the Lincoln study. It was in this room that President Lincoln signed the emancipation proclamation and in which Mr. Hoover has done most of his night work and reading and has held most of his informal conferences #ince becoming President. During his brief stay at the White House Mr. Laval will not be subjected to any family routine. The Hoovers have virtually abolished anything bordering on rules and rou- tine for their guests. They arise and eat their morning meal when they feel like it and go and come as they like. Mr. Hoover will follow his own routine, however, and will not expect Mr. Laval to arise early enough to be out in the rear grounds for the medi- cine ball game, which bgins at 7:30 and which is followed by breakfast It is thought likely, though, that the President may not be so considerat> in the matter of retiring.

The battle was reported to have y halted traffic over the South Manchu- rian Railway, Japanese property. Japan's reply to the note of the 12 signatories of the Kellogg pact was un- derstood to reassure them that she realizes her obligations, and to reiterate that her actions from the beginning have been entirely for self-defense. Japan is rea the reply was under- stood to have said, to negotiate with a responsible Chinese representative.

Acting Secretary of State Castle sald today the Manchurian situation looks “hopeful.” He said there was nothing in the State Department's official cablegrams from cither the East of the West to in- between the-Japa- dicate- the situation is any less hopeful than yesterday.

Judges Not Subject to Cut. ‘The Constitution, in article 3, section 1, has this to say regarding the com- pensation of judges, showing clearly { their salaries cannot be reduced during their tenure of office: “The judges, both of tie Supreme | and inferior courts, shall hold their of- ! fices during good behavior and shall, at stated times, receive for their services a | compensation which shall not be dimin- ished during their continuance in of- fice.” While Secretary of Labor William N. Doak urging the Associated Indus- | tries of Massachusetts to maintain sal- aries at a high level, declaring promis- cuous wage-slashing is unsound and that those who reduce wages now in private industry “will rue the day,” Rep- resentative Wood made public his plan for a general cutting of all Government salaries. With the Federal budget about to be presented to the incoming Congress and with Chairman Wood's committee ready to study intensively the various appro- priation bills (all ¢f which include Fed- eral salary rolls), just as soon as it is decided which party will be control of the new House, the Indiana Republican has thrown a bombshell into the ranks of the Federal employes. i Far-Reaching Proposal. He proposes a reduction in salaries, frcm the President down, including the Vice President, cabinet members. Su- preme justices, United States Senators and members of the House of | Representatives. Just as Mr. Wood made this second and more drastic proposal for ruthlessly slashing salaries, Representative Allen T.

Leaders of these organizations em phasized today that reduction in Gov- ernment salaries would be followed promptly by general. iscuous wage slashing throughout private employ- ment, whether the employing organiza- tions might be in firancial distress or not.

CHIANG AND CANTON CHIEFTAINS CONFER Result of Parley on Reunification of China Is Not Made Public. By the Associated Press.

Chiang arrived from Nanking in = new airplane recently purchased for his use, and took up residence in the French concession. He then met Wang ard other insurgents, who arrived here yesterday to discuss terms for internal Ppeace, ‘The result of the conference was not sclosed. Since the arrival of the Can- ton envoys, however, Shanghai has been the scene of mysterious visits exchanged between representatives of the Nanking and Canton factions. These meetings are expected to mark { the preliminary stages of negotiations which later will be transferred to Nan- king to blossom into a formal peaca conference. Reports that Chiang has resigned the presidency—one of the conditions origi- nally insisted upon by the Cantonese— were denfed in the highest quarters, They seemed to be a recurrence of ru- mors of several weeks ago that peace between Canton and Nanking likely would be based upon a division of Chiang's present powers among a tri- umvirate. At that time it was suggested that Hu Han-Min, political opponent of Chiang, become President of the Na- tional government: that Wang Chang- Wel be made head of the Kuomintang, dominant political party of China, and that Chiang Kai-Shek retain command of the Chinese Army and Navy. Chiang now fills all these positions. DISCUSS AIR RESEARCH Members of Advisory Committee Hold Session Here.
