Tokio Officials Declare No Further Trouble Expected Despite Activity. TOKIO, November 7 (#).—While the world awaited the next move in Man- churia, Japanese forces on the Nonni River took cognizance of rumors of further Chinese military activity by consolidating the positions they won this week in a bitter three-day battle. Officials regarded these precautions nurely as a military measure and indi- cated they expected no further trouble. Reflection of this attitude was found in formal announcement that the an- nual army maneuvers would be held on Kyushu next week as originally planned, with the Emperor and army and navy heads attending. Russian Among Dead. News dispatches said military investi- tion had been ordered because a ussian officer’s body was found among the 200 Chinese dead left on the Tah- sing battlefield when the Heilungkiang Province Army retreated yesterday under a bombardment from Japanese airplanes and artillery. Officials said they believed the Soviet government was not involved, but that the man probably was one of several White Rus- sians who have served many years in the Heilungkiang Army. Other dispatches said virtually all of the defeated soldiers had retreated morthward beyond the Chinese Eastern Railway line, although the Japanese, under strict orders, had not pursued them beyond Tahsing. Headquarters of the 2d Division, commanded by Lieut. Gen. Jiro Tamon, who is in general command of the Nonni River sector, were being moved or prepared to move from Changchun to ‘Taonan, directly south of the trouble Repairs Get Started. Official circles here seemed to feel that transfer of Gen. Tamon's head- quarters, along Wwith the precautionary measures taken at Tahsing and also elsewhere along the Taonan-Anganchi Railway, might be misunderstood, so it ‘was formally stated once more that the Japanese would withdraw from the | Nonni Valley as soon as the bridge nine miles south of Tahsing is repaired.

A new long-distance telephone sys- tem was installed yesterday at the State Department, which will place all its high officials within speaking dis- tance of European capitals. Secretary Stimson said the system was the first of its kind to be installed. He predicted the line would do a great deal of business when asked whether it was decided upon with the approach- ing disarmament conference at Ge- neva particularly in mind. The new system is viewed by Secre- tary Stimson as particularly valuable in that it will permit members of his staff to listen in on important conver- sations on matters in which they.are working in co-operation with the Sec- | ratary. | ‘The equipment will have its baptism on Monday, when the Secretary will speak with the Rumanian foreign min. ister on the occasion of the opening of direct telephone communication with that country. between the Chinese provincial ment and the Jadcanese Tsitsihar, insisting upon govern- ‘hang a committee for the maintenance order. “This makes it clear,” said Dr. Sze, “that the Nonni River Bridge is merely a pretext for the continued presence of Japanese troops. “The Japanese military - toally have overridden an b bridge x these provocative means after Dm" L had undertaken to do so him- self. “This concrete example sho how, on pretext of maintaining order, the Japanese military are destroying the | nuthm‘z;‘:{ the h!'f:lucdhlnllf Mma ment, setting up a| len. } 1 an &h.p-inuugnnrymhb Jppets | All that remained of airplane of the Japanese army command.” | Alrport yesterday afternoon, killing K said, and as it got well off in the dis- | | to the Maryland city later in the after- | The body of Edward C.

Altough the Democrats are likely to organize the next House with thel slender majority, they might be “un- horsed” at any time during the coming session of Congress by the acts of “life and death and of politics,” Willlam Tyler Page, clerk of the House, declared in a radio address last night. Speaking in the National Radio Forum, arranged by The Evening Star and broadcast over the coast-to-coast network of ine Columbia Broadcasting System, the veteran Government offi- cial said a physical jority of the House may follow its own_inclinations, | and although a Speaker once elected, and an organization once set up has never before met with such a fate, yet it is & possibility it may be unhorsed. As he steppd before the microphone to make his address, which was broad- cast locally over Station WMAL, the line-up for control stood in favor of the Democrats, with a plurality of three and a majority of two over all. He said two vacancies are to be filled in former Republican districts, one in New Jersey on December 1, and the other in New Hampshire on January 8. Standing Outlined Mr. Page said that if a Republican be elected to fill the New Jersey vacancy | the count would stand, Democrats, 217; Republicans, 215; Farmer-Laborite, 1, unless there should b2 other casualties. If the Farmer-Laborite, the Speaker explained, votes with the Republicans |on the Speakership, the Democrats would have & majority of one over all. ‘Xl‘ perchance, he added, the remote | possibility of 'a Speakership deadlock should ensue and_continue until after January 5, and a Republican be elected from the New Hampshire district, then the two big parties would have equal strength, each with 217. Possibly by that time the vacancy recently created by the death of Representative Wurz- bach, Republican, of Texas, would be the balance of power. “Meanwhile,” Mr. Page added, “in the one month remaining before Congress meets the Grim Reaper may further play a part in determining the political power in the next House. | Full Roster Expected. | “Under ordinary conditions the full membership of the House is never present, on the | chiefly due to i | Mr. Page said he anticipated a’full membership when the. next Congress convenes and seldom have as many await them. “World-wide ecenomic from which no Nation has escaped and its resulting unemployment has brought in its train ills of the body politic, which will produce many rem- edies,” Mr. Page asserted. “There will be many men of man | minds and a political majority respon: ible to the country, for its acts wil | not_be in evidence,” he added. | Nevertheless, the party which or- | ganizes the House, he warned, “will be | held responsible by the people for the | legislative results.” He added that the pocketbook nerve of severely strained.

The speaker sald unemployment re- lef measures will loom big and a pro- posed dole will have its champions. Also he said the so-called soldier “bonus” will have its champions, who will demand the payment of the $2.000,000,000 balance. He declared measures for stabiliza- tion of industry will receive serious consideration, and reparations in general will come in for a big share of speech making.” In conclusion, he said the situation that confronts Congress is unfortunate in many respects. “It is unfortunate,” he asserted, that neither great politi- | | ing majority country needs such solutions of problems as either party might be able to furnish.

Wilbur, of Cleveland, warned that in- flation had gone too far and predicted the break which followed. Now, said Mr. Ferris, !erhnps we have come to the other end. We have every hope that the meeting of this convention will mark the turn, not be- cause we are meeting but because we seem fortuitiously to have chosen a time for meeting when the deflation- ary process has run its course. “Coming from the West, I am im- pressed with the betterment of public morale as a result of the commodity market improvement, and while I do not want to indulge in any platitudes about this being the time to buy, think we have laid the necessary foundation for sensible growth.
