r A2 sun THE _EVENIN G _STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C, TUESDAY, CHINESE PREPARE DEFENSE OF PEIPING Political Changes at Tientsin Result in Prediction of Compromise. By the Associated Press. TOKIO, May 16.—Japanese dis- patches from the North China front today said the Chinese were in disor- derly retreat and making desperate preparations for a stand along a de- fense line only 13 miles east of the ancient capital of Peiping. Rengo (Japanese) news agency dis- patches said this defense line would extend through Tungshow, Shunyi and Hwaiju. (Evacuation of American snission stations at Tungchow already has started.) Air scouts reported that the rear- most Chinese columns already had passed through Yutlen, Tangshan and Kaiping. These cities are 70 to 100 miles east of Peiping. According to Japanese sources, they had not yet been occupied by the advancing army of Japan. (A defense line extending from Hwaiju through Shunyt to Tungchow also would provide positions for fight- ing off the Japanese armies which have been pushing in the direction of Peip- ing from the Great Wall of China to the north.) Only obscure reports were received concerning the operations in the north, but it appeared that rumors of the occupation of Miyun, about half way between Peiping and the Great Wall, were premature. Japanese newspapers asserted that War Minister Araki had assured the cabinet that the sole objective of the present operations was to make certain the security of the southern boundary of the recently conquered province of Jehol. The Great Wall formx thi boundary. U. S. SCHOOL IS CLOSED. More Than 70 Children Evacuate Town Near Peiping. PEIPING, May 16 (#).—Officials of the American Board of Missions at TTungchow, 13 miles east of here, today ordered immediate suspension of the North China American School, acting on tne advice of the United States lega- tion to evacuate the town. Between 70 and 80 American children attend the school. They began the evacuation immediately the order was jssued. Most of them are from the homes of missionaries The legation had heard rumors the Japanese will attempt to occupy the town. About 30 missionaries comprise the American community there. With the exception of the children . the pupils will be homes in various paris of China. The seniors will go to | Peiping. where an additional two weeks will complete their term. The Japanese were said to be basing their intention to occupy Tungchow on the fact that Chinese were using it as a base of supplies for Chinese troops attacking Hsifengkow Pass through the Great Wall, seized by the Japanese. END OF DRIVE IN SIGHT. Japanese Withdrawal Seen When Chi- nese Leave Vicinity of Wall. TIENTSIN, May 16 (P.—The politi- cal atmosphere in North China has suddenly changed, leading to the besl lief that the latest Japanese incursion south of the Great Wall is near an end. The changed atmosphere resulted from the coming to North China of Gen. Hwang Fu, National government | representative slated as Minister to| North China from the Nanking gov- ernment. | Hwang. former National government | forelgn minister, is considered distinct- 1y friendly toward Japan. His coming, coupled with a statement yesterday at Changchun, Manchuria, by Field Mar- shal Nobuyoshi Muto, Japanese mili- tary commander in Manchuria, that the Japanese would withdraw as soon as the Chinese remain away from the ‘Wall, was interpreted as meaning a Chinese-Japanese compromise had been reached. Under the compromise, it was be- lieved, the Chinese would avoid the borders of the new state of Manchukuo, while & new Peiping regime would be allowed at least temporarily to continue to function as a branch of the central government. Attacks Expected to Stop. Japanese north of Peiping and east of Tangshan continued to air bomb and shell the retreating Chinese, but their attacks were expected to cease soon, their objective seemingly accomplished. Strengthening the belief that the Japanese drive was about over were Chinese_reports that Nanking troops porth of Peiping were withdrawing. Chinese here manifested the greatest clief at the turn in the situation, al- hough the solution was considered un- ikely to be more than temporary. Vevertheless it was believed it may mvert a wholesale evacuation of Noith China and a sweeping enlargement of hostilities. The relief was not confined to the Chinese, owing to the widespread fear of foreigners that the Chinese troops may take away all the rolling stock of the railway. Railway Materials Moved. In this connection it was authorita- tively learned that all railway materials, ocomotive boilers, wheels and tools vere removed from Tangshan, the des- Rination admittedly being the Kinhan Railway. (Evacuation of Tangshan, headquar- gers of the British Kailan mining in- Rerest, was begun yesterday by Chinese kroops after Japanese fiyers pombed Chinese cement works and cot- ton mills in the town and trenches out- side.) 7 The removal of this material was terpreted to imply an intention to move all the rolling stock. This, in ~iew of the damage to a railway bridge over the Lwan River on the Peiping- Mukden line, would leave Peiping and Tientsin without railway facilities. (Chinese soldiers, hoping to slow down he Japanese advance, bombed the Lwan River Bridge. Although detalls were meager, it was believed one of the main spans was badly damaged.)

Rover replied feelingly to Turco's| charges, declaring that Lindbergh's tes- timony was “proper and essential.” “It has been said,” Rover stated, “that I summoned Col. Lindbergh be- | cause of very debased and depraved | reasons. Without dignifying these ac- | cusations with a detailed reply—and I have no apology to make for any- thing I have done in this case—I wish only, as a lawyer, to emphasize that Col. Lindbergh's testimony was proper and admissible, or the honorable jus- tice presiding would not have ad- mitted it.” | The prosecutor explained that it was | Decessary to prove that there was such a child as the Lindbergh baby. that it had been kidnaped. that it later was| found dead and that it had been dead | for a long time.

Has Four Children Himself. “When I am accused of these vile and debased motives,” Rover shouted, “my only reply as to whether I am so cold | blooded as to reopen sores in the hearts of the Lindberghs is that God has blessed Mrs. Rover and myself with four healthy children.” Mrs. Rover sat in a front seat inside the counsel rail while her husband ad- dressed the jury. Justice Daniel W. O'Donoghue began his charge to the jury at 1:30 o'clock this afternoon. It was expected the | case would go to the jury by 2 o'clock. Concluding arguments of counsel were being made this morning before a crowded court room, with Justice O'Donoghue presiding. In their final appeals to the jury. De- fense Attorneys J. William Tomlinson and Turco caustically criticized Rover for failure to cross-examine Means on his story of his activities in connection with the Lindbergh case, and they lr-J gued at length that Means had told the! truth on the witness stand when he told of his so-called contacts with the kid- | napers of the Lindbergh baby. | Makes Plea for Whitaker. | Turco made a special plea in behalf of Whitaker, contending that “the Fox"| was merely “a decoy’ employed by! Means to assist in investigating the Lindbergh case and in recovering the| baby. Replying to Rover's bitter castigation of Means late yesterday, during which the prosecutor declared that no sensible person could belleve Means' “Baron Munchausen” tale, Tomlinscn pointed out that such intelligent persons as Mrs. McLean, Col. M. Robert Guggenheim, Mr. and_Mrs. Robert Fleming, Rear Admiral Emory 8. Land and Rev. Fran- cis J. Hurney had believed Means’ claim that he could effect return of the abducted child. Turco emphasized to the jury that Means and Whitaker are not being tried for stealing the $104,000 which Mrs. McLean gave Means to turn over to the kidnapers for ranscm and expenses and for which Means aiready has been convicted and sentenced to 15 years in the penitentiary. He argued that the defendants were on trial “for attempt- ing to steal $35,000 which never existed and which was never to pass through their hands.” The Government claims Mrs. McLean was attempting to pawn her jewels to raise the $35,000 sum in | response to Means’ representations that | the kidnapers were demanding ‘“clean | money” for the $49.000 of “hot” money | paid by Col. Lindbergh through Dr.| John F. Condon. Turco Arraigns Rover. ‘Turco severely arraigned Rover for calling Means a liar without attempt- ing to disprove his story by rebuttal testimony or cross-examination. ‘The attorney declared that “even Gaston B. Means is entitled to be pre- sumed innocent until he is proven gulilty.” Turco asserted that Whitaker was brought into the McLean negotiations by Means on the promise by the latter that he could earn some money by assisting in the negotations. He stress- ed that Means had testified that Whitaker was just a “decoy” who posed as one of the kidnapers in order to make sure that Mrs. McLean had not set a trap to catch the real kidnapers when they returned the Lindbergh baby to Mrs McLean at her cottage in_Aiken, S. C. Excoriating the defendants as “men ‘who took advantage of a mother's love to perpetrate on Mrs. McLean a fraud, gigantic and criminal,” Rover began his closing arguments in the trial yesterday afternoon. “When the slimy hands of the kid- napers reached into the home of Col. Lindbergh and stole his son on March 1. 1932." the prosecutor declared, “the crime called forth not only the finest sentiments of some of our noblest citi- 2zens, but also the foulest, most debased, most degrading thoughts of criminal 'ments.” Among leading citizens whose heart went out to the stricken Lindbergh family, Rover said, was Mrs. McLean, whose first-born also had been threat- ened gwith kidnaping before his un- timely death under an automobile. Rover, clenching his fists and rais- ing his voice almost to & shout in front of the jury box, accused Means and Whitaker of attempting to capitalize on Mrs, McLean’s emotions by committing what he declared was a fraud so un- usual as to be “hard for us now in our sober senses to comprehend.” He emphasized that Means and Whit- aker are not being tried for kidnaping the Lindbergh baby nor for stealing $104,000 frolgy Mrs, McLean in Means’ MESSAGE TO CONGRESS CONCERNING APPEAL TO WORLD NATIONS _ (Continued From Pirst Page) stability is threatened by selfish and short-sighted policies, actions and threats of actions.

As a means to this end. I have in the message to the various nations stressed the practical necessity of reducing armaments. It is high time for us and for every other nation to understand the simple fact that the invasion of any nation. or the de- struction of a national sovereignty, can be prevented only by the com- plete elimination of the weapons that make such a course possible today. “Such an elimination will make the little nation relatively more se- cure against the great nation. “Furthermore, permanent de- fenses are a non-recurring charge against governmental budgets, while large armies, continually rearmed with improved offensive weapons, constitute a recurring charge. This, more than any other factor today, 1s responsible for governmental defi- cits and threatened bankruptcy. “The way to disarm is to disarm. The way to prevent invasion is to make it impossible. “I have asked for an agreement among nations on four practical and simultaneous steps: “First, that through a series of steps the weapons of offensive war- fare be eliminated. “Second. that the step be taken now. “Third, that while these steps are being taken no nation shall increase existing armaments over and above the limitations of treaty obliga- tions. “Fourth. that subject to existing treaty rights, no nation during the disarmament period shail send any armed force of whatsoever nature across its own borders. “Our people realize that weapons of offense are needed only if other nations have them and they will freely give them up if all the na- tions of the world will do likewise. “In the domestic field the Congress has labored in sympathetic under- standing with me for the improve- ment of social conditions, for the preservation of individual human rights and for the furtherance of social justice. “In* the message to the nations which I herewith transmit I have named the same objectives.

Rover branded Means’ account on the witness stand of the abduction of the Lindbergh baby as “a sickening, lying: tale” conceived by a “dyed-in-the-wool criminal who would never tell the truth it he could lie to get out of it.” This scathing attack on Means and Whitaker kept the crowded court room in rapt attention, and Rover's sarcasm as he picked flaws in the defense test! mony ~ caused frequent murmurin -.mfl‘:xg the spectators, who were peatedly admonished against demon- strations by bailiffs. ‘The prosecutor concluded an hour and 45 minutes of argument at 3:45 o'clock.

ROOSEVELT PLAN WINS APPROVAL, Members of House and Sen- ate in Accord With Dis- arming Proposal. President Roosevelt's message to the world, calling upon the various coun- tries to make a success of the Geneva Disarmament Conference and of the London Economic Conference, won im- mediate and hearty approval at the Capitol today. Leauing Republicans as well as Democrats joined in praise of the Presi- dent for his timely and unusual action at & Juncture when grave fears have been expressed for the success of the Geneva Disarmament Conference. The announcement of the Roosevelt mes- sage to the heads of foreign govern- ments caused a decided sensation at the Senate end of the Capitol. Praises Leadership. Benator Pat Harrison of Mississippi, Chairman of the Senate Finance Com- mittee, and regarded as one of the administration leaders, made this com- ment: “Again the President has shown a fine quality of world leadership, which ought to go far toward an adjustment of differences and toward cementing the peace of the world.” Senator McNary of Oregon, the Re- publican leader of the Senate. was en- thusiastic in his praise of the message. He said: “I am whole-heartedly in accord with the President’s appeal to the nations of the world to reduce their armaments and individually to agree they will send no armed forces across their frontiers. The message at this time should be & comfort to the peace of the world.” Lauded by Rainey. Predicting “enthusiastic and unani- mous” support by the American people, Speaker Rainey, to newspaper men, termed the Roosevelt proposal one “for a united front by every nation against every other nation that undertakes mili- tary movements and, of course, that in- cludes Hitler “The statement is timely and will rank among the great state papers of history. It is a splendid statement.” Senator Tydings.

The President is act- ing with vision, uhderstanding and courage.” Senator Byrd. Democrat. of Virginia said: “I thoroughly approve of it and hope it will be successful.” \ Gov. Gifford Pinchot of Pennsylvania warmly praised the message after a call at_the White House today. The Pennsylvania executive, a Pro- gressive Republican. described the mes- sage as “one of the finest documents I've ever seen.” He said he thought it was most timely and he hoped it would produce desired results. Gov. Pinchot said he had the honor of having this message read to him in person by the President. Other Comment. Other comment follows: Representative Byrns, leader: “I hope the President’s policy can be put into effect. I am sure the people of the world want it done. It is a statement that should appeal to all governments of all nations.

If he should try a consultative pact, as has been reported, I am sure Congress and the American people would balk. It is a magnificent gesture, but imagine France and Germany, which are ready to fiy at each other's throats, being moved by a thing like that. “Good will among nations must precede disarmament—it cannot be brought about by legislation or inter- national conference.

This, of course, forces the United States to contemplate taking another step in the fleld of international co- operation. It is not for the sake of reptition that the President brought forth the Kellogg pact in his final paragraph of his statement. He urged the nations to “enter into & solemn and definite pact of non-ag- that they should solemnly | reaffirm ‘the obligations they have as ments and, provided these obligations are faithfully executed by all signatory powers, individually agree that they will send no armed force of whatsoever nature across their frontiers.” This is not merely the expression of s plous wish.

By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, May 16.—Charles E. Mitchell, former chairman of the Na- tlonal City Bank, was charged in Fed- eral Court today with having defrauded the Government of $850,428 taxes on an income of more than $4,000,000 by spurious sales of securities. In his opening address to the jury, United States Attorney George Z. Med- alie asserted that these were not in reality sales at all, and referred to the financier's actions as sham and pre- tense undertaken with the purpose of deceiving the Government. The case was first called last Thurs- day, but was then adjourned until yes- ]wrday, when another adjournment was taken until this morning as soon as the jury was completed. The alleg- edly illegal acts of the former banker occurred as to his income taxes of 1929 and 1930. In both those years he filed returns but he cited sales of securities which made what the Gov- ermment says was &n enormous profit into an apparent loss. He paid no tax either year. Income Declared Wiped Out. “An actual net income in the ye: 1929 of $3466324 was de)lrerik?; ;vlp;g ?u:-né Medalie said. “and the de- endan not pay a penny on used profits for that year. “In 1930, by another device, the de= fendant managed to escape pavment of income tax on a net income well over $700,000. by pretense of a sale of 85.000 shares of Anaconda Copper Co. stock— by which pretense he claimed to have sustained a loss. This. like the pre- tended sale to his wife, was a sham.” Discussing Mitchell's sale of 18,300 shares of National City stock to his wife in 1929, Medalie said “Mrs. Mitchell didn't put up a penny | for that stock. and Mr. Mitchell did not receive a penny. So unreal was the transaction that no one took the trouble to afix the ordin tax trans- fer stamps to the stocks.” Hoiders Not Informed. He said J. P. Morgan & Co.. which held the stock, was not informed of the transaction. “The Morgan company could not have protected her interest in the stock as owner.” Medalie said, “for the stock was still in Mr. Mitchells name and the Morgan company knew nothing of the | transaction.” Medali> said that in December, 1929, “Mrs. Mitchell's entire estate was only 1$941,000.” whereas she was supposed to | have enough to pay $3874.000 for pur- chase of the stock from her husband. “Mrs. Mitchell never bought a single share of stock on margin, either,” | Medalie said | Mrs. Mitchell. Medalie said. owned | 500 shares of National City Bank stock “that she could call her own.” Lean Is Hinted. Although Medalie did not say so, spectators inferred that his meaning was that the Mitchell stock was held by the Morgan Co. as collateral for a loan. Medalle spoke at length of interest paid on the stock. by which it was assumed he meant interest on the loan He charged that Mitchell paid this interest to Morgan out of the stock's dividends so the company would not know the stock had been transferred to Mrs. Mitchell's name. This interest, he said, amounted to more than $120.000. “Mrs. Mitchell never could have met those payments.” Medalie said, “even if. indeed, she understood the transac- tion at ail “Ostensibly as a gift, Mitchell on April 1, 1930, transferred to Mrs. Mit- chell's account with Taft & Co. stock with & market value of $42.500, to cover interest on the stock held by Morgan : Co. today in the Mukwonago area, 35 miles | 5 southwest of Milwaukee. Efforts to dump milk at Mukwon- ago were twice frustrated yesterday. Several hundred farmers waged a fight in a cloud of tear gas to destroy milk being brought by six trucks to the United Dairy Products Co. plant. Beaten off, the strikers said they would be back last night when the milk train was to depart for Chicago. It was sent out three hours earlier, however. Not in Military Capacity. In announcing the movement of the Milwaukee force to Shawano, Adjt. the men would be deputized as sheriff's officers and would not act in & mili- tary capacity. They are picked men, he said. Some are not guardsmen. The Milwaukeeans would be used a$ “troubleshooters,” Gen. Immell said. Should developments warrant, they can be shifted quickly from one county to another. They will have to be depu- tized by each sheriff to whom they are assigned, however. Disorders were widespread through- out the eastern and southern tier of counties yesterday. Many trucks were set upon, even some carrying produce and live stock. In all the clashes only four arrests were made. 25 PICKETERS JAILED. Attempt to Prevent Milk Delivery at Chicago Stations. CHICAGO. May 16 (#).—Twenty- five milk strike picketers were placed in | jail at Woodstock, Ill, today when they ttempted to blockade roads and pre- vent delivery at a Chicago shipping station. ‘Twenty-three plants in the Wisconsin strike area licensed by the Chicago Board of Health were informed last night they would not be permitted to resume ents to Chicago until glmed .authority by Dr. Herman N. undesen, health commissioner. All but two of the plants already have been closed under the executive order of Gov. A. G. Schmedeman of Wiscon- sin. Dr. Bundesen said his order was necessary to guarantee fresh and sani- tary milk for the city. Many dairymen, concluding their strike, he said, might send stale milk to market. Despite the strike, Dr. Bundesen sald, Chicago had a surplus of milk. Discuss Numbers Game Pay-Off Near Police Quarters Secret Meeting of Opera- tors Reported Held in Shadow of Law.

Large Gifts Made. “Every ex-use was used for large gifts | of this sort” Medalie said. “On their | wedding anniversary, $25.000 or $30.000, on Mrs. Mitchell's birthday, anothep like sum. He even celebrated his ow! | birthday that way, and. having run oul of anniversaries, began making huge Ppresents for no special reason.” j_ On October 2, 1931, Medalie said, Mitchell asked for an accounting on the stock held in Mrs. Mitchell’s name. | “The memorandum indicated,” Me- | dalie said, “that Mrs. Mitchell had paid | Gen. Ralph M. Immell emphasized that | $33.000 in interest on the stock. When his birthday came along four days later he gave her $25,000.” On March 24, 1932, Medalie said, Mit- chell bought the stock back. “At that time, if the transaction was Medalie said, “Mrs. Mitchell would have owed Mr. Mitchell $3.879,- 000, the price of the stock, plus what | he had actually paid in interest.” Claims Bank Stock. In 1929, Medalie said, Mitchell “put in motion machinery for a claim against the National City Bank, his i purpose being to wipe out with this money his debt to J. P. Morgan & Co." He purchased 28300 shares of Na- tional City Bank stock, he said, and put them up as collateral with the J. P. Morgan Co. for a loan to the bank. Subsequently he asked the National City Bank, Medalie said. to buy the stock back at around $300 a share, the price he paid for it, although by this time it was down to around $40 a share. “He completely forgot,” Medalie said, “that he was supposed to have solt 18,300 shares to Mrs. Mitchell for $212 a share.” GALVIN'S 77 LEADS CHEVY CHASE FIELD McCarron Trails Georgetown Golf- er—Rain-Soaked Course Makes Low Scores Difficult.
