BY BYRON PRICE. f the Associated Press Washington e Bureau After a short interlude of con- | fusion and false alarms, the American venture for peace in Manchuria reverted last night to a state of hopeful waiting. As Japanese troops halted m}d- way in_their advance on Chin- Chow, Secretary Stimson reiter- ated Friday's statement of incre- dulity that further hostilities were in prospect, and recelvefi renewed assurances of Japan's od intentions. gl’A misunderstanding which stirred a flaming outburst of Japanese criticism also was partly cleared away at a talk between Mr. Stimson and Katsuji Debuchi, the Japanese Ambassador.

The dispatch did not at- tribute further statements to the Sec- Yetary, but did review the whole course of the Japanese-American discussions, noting that the various previous Japa- Tese advances in Manchuria had sur- prised and disappointed the American Government in view of Japan's proms ises and her treaty obligations to pre- serve Chinese integrity. Sensation Develops. This story was cabled to Tokio, wkere 4t was handled by a Japanese news agency. A sensation developed there because it apparently was assumed thal Stimson was summing up in undiplo- | matic terms the whole case of Ameri- | can disappointment over Japan's Man- | churian_campaign. The flood of sharply worded state- ments emanating from Japanese official courses struck in two directions.

By the Assoctated Press. LIMA, Peru, November 28.—Luis M. Sanchez Cerro, 4l-year-old soldier and former provisional President of Peru, today was announced as the victor in the presidential election held on_October 11. 5 He will be inaugurated within 10 cays, under the electoral law, and Peru will be under a constitutional government for the first time in many months. It was Sanchez Cerro who touched off the 1930 revolution which ended the regime of Augusto B.

Japan Association Holds League Lacks Facts of Situation By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, November 28— Dr. Nicholas ~Murray Butler, president of the Carnegie Endow- ment for International Peace, received today from Japan a translation of a “declaration” adopted last month by the League of Nations Association of Japan. It said in part: “The recent actions of the Council of the Lgague of Nations can be explained only upon the hypothesis that @ lacks funda- mental knowledge of the special and complicated relations sub- sisting between Japan and China throughout the country, but es- pecially in Manchuria and Mon- golla. Any advice and admoni- tions on the part of.the Council which are at tangent to the ac- tual conditions of things can only ct as irritants alike to the peo- le of China and Japan. ‘Any outside action not adapted to the situation can only lead to graver complications instead of solving the points at issue.” JAPANESE. ATTACK ON STIMSON DUE 10 PRESS TANGLE Accused of “Losing Head” on Basis of Statement in Dispatches. By the Associated Press. TOKIO, November 28.—Secretary of State Henry L. Stimson was accused today by the Japanese foreign office, on the basis of statements attributed to him, of “losing his head” and “flying into fulminations.” On the assumption that certain statements as carried here by a Jap- anese news agency had been correctly attributed to Col. Stimson, a govern- ment spokesman declared they were of an intimidating nature. ‘The entire the Jlmue news agency was not attributed to Stimson, but parts other officials, or whether they were background material, There were no direct quotations attributed to Secre- tary Stimson in the dispatch. Furthermore, the officials accused the Secretary of State of virtual violation of the nine-power treaty and said the incident might stiffen China’s attitude regarding the evacuation of Chinchow and might result in a clash between Japanese and Chinese troops there. Tokio cabled Ambassador Debuchi at Washington requesting confirmation with the view of possibly making diplo-~ matic ‘esentations. Offic] sald Col, Stimson’s disclos- ures of confidential conversations were “most embarrassing to Japan" coming at & moment when the Manchurian at- mosphere was clearing. ‘The statements attributed to Col. Stimson aroused government circles generally and particularly the foreign | office and the war office, both of which issued statements. ‘The foreign office spokesman spent an hour with Baron Shidehara, foreign minister, and then, speaking for the foreign office and not as a representa- tive of the baron, read the following statement: “Mr. Stimson’s precipitate action in disclosing the exchange of communica- " (Continued on Page 4, Column 2.)

It was a story of men who used their clothing {tor the flare which brought rescue— the same clothing which for days had been hung on the deck of their ship to catch rain water that they might | fight off thirst. | "Up from Tela, Honduras, over the radio to the United Fruit Co. here came |the story of the rescue by the United | Fruit European steamship Aztec in the | tropical seas on November 16 of the | captain and crew of six of the three- masted schooner Ria. The story was 12 days late in coming, but lost none of its drama in the delay. Capt. E. H.

On { \FLARES OF OIL-SOAKED CLOTHING TO SEVEN AT SEA Battle Death 54 Days in the 16th the Asztec was fighting heavy seas 400 miles due west of the Azores when the lookout reported to Capt.

A lifeboat was lowered and eight volunteers headed into the roiling sea for the Ria. On the deck of the schooner seven men with long beards stood in their underwear _and watched the lifeboat approach.

BUDAPEST, Hungary, November 28. —A plot to overthrow the Hungarian governmen: was revealed today with the dramatic suicide of one of the al- leged leaders, who was among 32 per- | sons arrested. | ‘The conspiracy, aimed at the estab- | lishment of a dictatorship, was an- nounced officially by the Hungarian Press Bureau. Gen. Raice of the Hungarian Army committed suicide in the Budapest police station while he was being ques- tioned tonight in connection with the plot. Police had been investigating the iracy for more than a week, the communique said. Apparently the plot was intended to overthrow the govern- ment of Premier Count Julius Karolyi. Details were withheld until Monday, the statement said, “in order not to prejudice completion of the investiga- tions.” On Heels of Plotters for Week. ‘The extent of the revolutionary move- ment, which apparently was not en- tirely suppressed, was undivulged. So far as might be admitted, the official communique said, authorities had been on the heels of the plotters for more than a week, during which time evidence against alleged leaders of the conspiracy had been piling up. By the end of the week police were able to proceed with arrests all over the country. It was established that the conspira- tors were members of various political parties. There were as many “awaken- ing Hungarians,” as members of a certain reactionary organization term themselves, as there were radicals with other political programs, it was an- nounced, and unaccountably, also junior and senior Communist organi- been in conflict with the law. Suicide Held Significant. ‘Their common goal seems to have been the proclamation of a dictatorship with a radical program. ‘Two days ago authorities found thread which led also to certain mili- tary assoclations and they arrested an officer of general rank for interrogation. It was he who took his life at police headquarters. ‘This incident was re- garded as significant. TODAY’S STAR PART ONE—34 PAGES. General News—Local, National Forelgn. Schools_and Colleges—Page B-3.

By the Assoclated Press. CHICAGO, November 28.—The gen- eral counsel of the railway labor organi- zations that have been asked to accept |10 per cent wage cuts declared today | that “further reductions of wages are | further crimes against humanity.” | Although not attempting to predict ‘\\‘hal the labor unions would do when | they meet here December 8, Donald R. Richberg, counsel for the Railway Labor Executives' Association, said there was “no law under which a railway worker can be compelled to donate part of his wages to charity.” Ultimatums that the worker must accept a reduction or have it forced upon him were described by Richberg s “empty threats, the bluff and bluster f those who have failed to govern in- | of being unable to govern themselves.” Final Action Voluntary. “The final action of the employe must be voluntary,” said the attorney. The unions have already suggested. he added, that a 10 per cent contribu- tion to relieve 500,000 unemployed rail- way workers “would seriously appeal to them,” but the suggestion was turned down. The largest dividends in history were paid owners of railroad stock in 1930, Richberg said, and rallroads have been operating at a profit. “It the railway employes are to be assessed $250,000,000, who needs the money more—the families of the un- employed workers or the owner of rail- way securities?” he asked. Richherg took exception in particular to a recent statement in which 8. W. Leamy, secretary of the Eastern Rail- way Presidents’ Conference, was quoted as saying, “If the workers do not realize the distress of the carriers and under- stand that wage reductions mean life or death to many of our roads, then the railway officials will immediately begin formal proceedings to obtain the relief which is a prime necessity for the existence of their lines.” Distresses Are Compared. “What,” asked the attorney, “is the greatest distress of the railroads? Is it the distress of a million railroad stock- holders who were paid the largest divi- dends in history in the depression year of 1930, or is it the distress of 500,000 railroad workers who have earned noth- ing for a year and are destitute?” In explanation of his statement re- garding dividends, Richberg said the total figure for last year was $506,624,- 912, or 7.82 per cent on dividend-paying stock, or 6.13 per cent on all realway stock. “There is no reason for reducing railroad waegs, because other wages have been reduced,” he sald. “Other industries have reduced their prices. Other industries are operating at a loss. “The railroads have not reduced rates, but have obtained authority to in- crease rates. They have been operating at a profit.” PLAYER IN HOSPITAL Detroit U.

On the heels of controversy between President Hoover and proponents of a larger American Navy, Secretary Adams yesterday reminded the Chief Executive of a belief within the service that more ships are needed. In his annual report, the Secretary of the Navy said sentiment existed that greater appropriations are needed to provide adequately for minimum re- quirements within treaty limits. He cited that -expenditures for new construction and modernizatian bave averaged “only $43,572,000 during th® | nine fiscal years of 1923-1931, inclusive, | a sum which falls far short of provid- | ing for replacements and depreciation.” | Larger Sums.

Until the radio message, no word had come from the group since it left Grand Portage for Isle Royale early Thanksgiving day. Reports of a snow- storm on Lake Superior had increased fears for the party and cutters from three Coast Guard stations had been ordered to search the vicinity of Isle Royale. Storm and accident combined to de- lay the return of the five Coast Guardsmen who set out Thanksgiving day from Grand Portage to escort to Isle Royale three fishermen, one of whom was accompanied by his wife and five children. . The fisherman's party traveled in one boat, the Coast Guardsmen in a second. A third craft, bearing suplies, was towed by the Coast Guard boat.
