A2 NANKING OPPOSES NORTH CHINA STEP Reported Planning Measures of Own—Japanese Re: new Demgnd. BACKGROUND— War lords of Japan have domi- nated policies of the Oriental em= pire more than three years. Their first military undertaking was seizure in 1932 of Manchuria, now Manchukuo, in the face of world protest. China’s resistance was feeble. A year later Jehol Province fell before Japan's armies. Now the imperialistic militarists plan domination of five additional Chinese provinces, but protests from the empire’s diplomatic lead- ers threaten not only this program but the future of the war lords as government leaders. By the Associated Press. NANKING, China, November 23.— The Chinese national government was | reported by an official source today to have disapproved formally the inde- pendence movement in North China. The official Central News Agency said the foreign office has sent notices to embassies and legations abroad that the government would not sanction the autonomy program. Nanking, the agency said, plans measures of its own to treat with the situation in the north. A Japanese Embassy spokesman said in Shanghai today “we are interestedly awaiting Chiang Kai-Shek's response to the northern desire for autonomy.” Chiang Kai-Shek is leader of the Nan- king government. “An order giving northern command- ers increased powers to work out their own self-government methods might satisfy the autonomy leaders,” the Jap- anese spokesman said, “but we would not tolerate any meddling not to the best interests of the northern people.” In Peiping. Dr. Hu Shin, often called | “China’s outstanding thinker,” de- nounced the Japanese assertion that popular support is behind the autonomy movement. Dr. Hu, a graduate of Cornell and Columbia, said “all this talk about popular support is so much nonsense. | ‘There is no public sentiment in favor | of anything of the kind * * *. “We believe the whole arrangement | was cooked up between Maj. Gen. | Kenji Dothara of the Japanese Army and two or three Chinese, notably Hsiao Cheng-Ying, who does not rep- resent anybody and is entirely lacking | in political sense and insight. These | men have the reputation of being pro- Japanese.” JAPAN RENEWS DEMAND. Discontinuance of “Anti” Agitation | Ordered by Tokio. | ‘Tokio, November 23.— A Rengo (Japanese) News Agency dispatch from Shanghai today says that Akira Ariyoshi, Japanese Ambassador to| China, received new instructions to- | day to demand of the Nanking gov- ernment discontinuation of anti-Jap-| anese agitation, recognition of the | “special circumstances” of North| China, improvement of the relations ! between China on the one hand and | Japan and Manchukuo, and joint Sino- | Japanese defense against communism | in the north. Rengo says that Ariyoshi was in- i Investigation Into Every- | when he accepted Gov. structed further to advise the Nan- | king government to abandon its policy | of reliance on Great Britain and the | United States in favor of a policy of co-operation with Japan. | ‘These instructions, according to the Rengo dispatch, were forwarded to Ariyoshi this morning by Foreign Min- | ister Koki Hirota, They were formu- lated after consultation between of- ficials of the war and navy depart- | ments, the foreign office and the| finance ministry. | Rengo's Shanghal correspondent | quoted Ariyoshi in an interview today &s saying: “The Tokio authorities regard the movement for autonomy in North China as an expression of the unani- mous desire of the people, but the authorities of the Nanking government apparently take a different view.” The Ambassador added that he was not much concerned over the North China situation, as it was a domestic question, but that if the Chinese used force it would have an unfavorable effect on the maintenance of peace and order in adjacent Manchukuo. The Tientsin correspondent of Nichi Nichl reports that the Jap- anese garrison in North China is keenly watching to see what action | Nanking will take in regard to North China, and is prepared to show “strong determination and to take def- inite action if necessary in accordance with the terms of the Umetsu-Ho Ying-Ching agreement,” which was concluded last Summer. The Yomiuri correspondent at Hs'nking, capital of Manchukuo, re- ports that 250,000 troops of China’s control army are being directed to North China by the Nanking govern- ment, notwithstanding the fact that | Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek| pledged to Ariyoshi that armed force would not be used to suppress the North China independence movement. It was also reported that the central army already had concentrated 11 divisions, with 23 scout planes and one tank corps, in Honan Province, and that 15 other divisions were now on their way northward.

SINGAPORE, Straits Settlements, November 23.—A renewed search for the missing Australian aviator, Sir Charles Kingsford-Smith, was under way tonight following upon reports that footprints had been seen in the | sand of Sayer Island, near the west coast of Siam. The Straits Steamship Co. ordered the vessel Matang to send landing parties to search the island. Capt. Hussey, commander of a plane which flew over the island, re- ported he had seen. the footprints. He also said he had observed flares on an island in that vicinity.

BACKGROUND— Last January utility interests opened fire on New Deal proposal to eliminate holding companies. After sensational congressional fight, law was passed giving Securi= ties Exchange Commission regula tive authority over holding groups. Utilities claim registration with S. E. C., mandatory under law by December 1, will cost them consti- tutional rights. Administration has given assurance these rights will be guaranteed. Utilities are rush- ing to courts to tie the Govern- ment’s hands. By the Assoclated Press. WILMINGTON, Del., November 23. | —The Commonwealth & Southern Corp., a Delaware corporation, filed a suit in the United States District Court today to enjoin enforcement of the public utility holding company act on the ground that it is unconstitutional so far as it concerns the plaintiff. The bill of complaint asserts that the act is unconsitutional: 1. Because the powers assumed by | Congress are in excess of any constitu- | tional authority which has been vested | in it either by the authority to regulate | commerce among the States or to es- | tablish post offices and post roads, and therefore constitute a violation of | | article I, sections 5 and 8 of the Con- stitution. Amendments Held Violated. 2. Because it is in violation of the tenth amendment to the Constitution | in that Congress has attempted to im- pose a system of Federal regulation upon what is solely within the powers | of the respective States. 3. Because the provisions of the act attempt to deprive stockholders of | the corporation and of its subsidiaries | of their liberty and property without | | due process of law, in violation of the | fifth amendment to the Constitution. 4. Because the act imposes excessive fines and cruel and unusual punish- | ments in viclation of the eighth amendment to the Constitution. Dismemberment Aim. “The avowed and chief purpose of the act” the complaint charges, “is ultimately to dismember the various holding company systems of electric and gas utilities into smaller systems defined in sald act as ‘integrated public utility systems,’ regardless of whether the public utility operating companies comprised in such systems ‘were engaged primarily and mainly in intrastate business, as in the case of | the plaintifi’s subsidiaries, regardless |of whether the holding companies themselves, as in the case of the plain- . tiff, were not engaged in interstate commerce, ‘and regardless of whether ! such dismemberment would in fact be | beneficial or detrimental to the in- finance, declared tonight France's po- litical difficulties stood in the way of mnegotiations for monetary stabiliza- tion. “We rallied international opinion to our theory” of stabilization on a | Building are the Declaration of Inde- | pendence and the Constitution of the gold standard, he told the Academy of Law and Political Science. “But the difficulties created by po- litical agitations seriously weakened us,” he said, “and put off a favorable occasion for an international discus- sion of the problem on monetary sta- bilization.” HAWKS ENDS AIR TOUR NEWARK, N.

WARM SPRINGS, Ga., November 23.—President Roosevelt enjoyed an- other day of leisure today, spending most of his time in the outdoors, fol- Jowing & carefree routine, before knuckling down to hard labor work- ing on the budget in the den of his home here tomorrow. ‘The President’s only labors today were the reading of a light mail, the dictation of a few urgent letters and the announcement of two appoint- ments, one Capt. MacGillivray Milne, U. 8. N, as Governor of America Samoa and the designation of Rob- ert Lincoln O'Brien, ex-chairman of the United States Tariff Commission for an additional term of one year beginning Decembet 1. There was a real chill in the air as the President motored about the country today, The thermometer went below 30 degrees last night and Mr. Roosevelt seemed to delight in being out in the invigorating air. During the forenoon he went for a swim in the glass-covered pool at the Warm Springs Foundation. After -uncheon he motored again to his farm, and then spent the remainder of the afternoon motoring, enjoying the bracing air and the scenery, Jokes With Golfer-Writers, During the late afternoon, on his way back to supper at the Little White House, he stopped off at the golf course and took a keen delight “kibitzing” a foursome of Washington correspondents. If these correspond- ents entertained an idea that they were good golfers before the President appeared on the scene, they certainly had no such delusion when he left. ‘While speeding along in his open sec- ond-hand roadster, Mr. Roosevelt spied the four Washington writers fighting their way out of the rough. Unable to resist the treat, he turned his car into the golf field and fol- lowed the writers in his car for the Test of their game. Needless to say, the President's heckling and “kibitz- ing"” did not improve the game of the four unhappy writers. In spite of this ordeal the writers are at least able to boast of having | had the most distinguished gallery witnessed by the followers of the game since those famous golfing days of the late Warren G.

A new move to speed work-relief | employment coincided yesterday with statistical indications that the Federal dole will continue beyond December 1. An order reminiscent of old Civil Works Administration methods went to State works progress directors. It authorized use of skilled labor on mis- | cellaneous projects and represented at | least a temporary departure from the “work-according-to-skill” rule, kibitzing to the newspaper forces.

It is necessary to resort to this formality because of the great crowds of tourists and | visitors in former years.

Besides doing guard duty of the roads the Marines guard the property on which is located the lit- tle white frame house in which the President lives while here, The presence of the so-called Leath- ernecks is nothing unusual in the matter of presidential security. Presi- dent Coolidge had a detachment of Marines when he spent the Summer at Swampscott, Mass., and also when Summering in the Adirondack Moun- tains. President Hoover always had 8 large detachment on hand dur- ing his visits at the Rapidan Camp in the Blue Ridge Mountains. President Roosevelt will be joined by Mrs. Roosevelt tomorrow. She will be on hand for the Thanksgiving day celebration at the foundation and will return with the President on his homeward journey to Washington. | The President has invited his mother, Mrs, Sara Delano Roosevelt, to join him for this Thanksgiving party, but he has yet received no assurance that she will be on hand. WIFE-SLAYING CASE MISTRIAL ORDERED Lamson’s Third Prosecution Is Terminatéd—Fourth to Start January 27. By the Assoclatec Press. SAN JOSE, Calif., November 23.— David A. Lamson’s third trial for wife murder ended in a mistrial today and January 27 was set for the start of & fourth. Judge J. J. Trabucco sustained a defense mistrial motion based on the announcement of the county clerk that two of the 626 persons on the jury list could not be found. Lamson, accused of bludgeoning his attractive young wife in their Stan- ford University campus home May 30, 1933, once was convicted. He won a new trial. It ended in a jury dis- agreement and al. His attorneys moved today to re- move the case from State jurisdiction. They said they would ask the United States Supreme Court to place it be- fore a Federal tribunal.

Despite renewed assertions that De- cember 1 was the definite end of the Federal dole, signs pointed to con-| date for most of the 1,132,758 esti- mated as eligible for work-relief em- | ployment who had not been given jobs | on November 16. ‘Whether 566,379 jobs a week can be created so as to attain the 3,500,000 | objective on the schedule was a matter | of speculation, but in any case addi- | tional allotments apparently must be made for those newly employed until | they actually get paid. From two to four weeks are required | | for the complicated process of compil- |ing the pay rolls from which individ- | ual checks are drawn at State head- | quarters of the Treasury disbursing | system. Checks for W. P. A—which now employs 1,624,112 and will supply most of the additional jobs required— are issued only twice a month. Pay Roll Difficulties. At the time November 1 was sched- uled as the deadline for having the entire 3,500,000 needy at work, high | officials said these pay roll difficul- | ties would make direct relief grants necessary until November 15. The | situation was said to be the same | | now. Twenty-six States to date have been told they have received their “final” allotments, but what these were was not announced. Some observers con- sidered it likely that in cutting the | remaining States off the dole, Hop- kins would include extra sums for support of those on relief whose jobs were delayed. Associates of Hopkins said a Mid- dle Western speaking tour on the work-relief program would keep him away from his desk until Friday. He plans to speak tomorrow night at the University of Michigan and will talk later in Cleveland, St. Louis and Chi- cago, before returning to spend Thanksgiving day with his wife in New York. In his speeches, he is expected to renew his insistence that States and communities increase their aid to the several million “unemployables” who will lose all Federal help when the Relief Administration is lquidated. Also, officials looked for Hopkins to insist anew that the work-relief pro- gram is providing as many solidly useful projects as was possible with the supply of relief labor. To Confer With Roosevelt. ‘When he will go to Warm Springs, Ga, for budget conferences with President Roosevelt was said not to be determined. In addition to work- relief jobs, the first of which were given in August, the Relief Adminis- tration has allotted more relief funds to States since Januggy 1 than during all 1934. This year's figure was $1,283,171,341, compared with $1,068,- 970,711 last year. “Tapering off,” the Relief Admin- istration already has cost $300,000,000 more than the $880,000,000 first esti- mated, with a corresponding loss in funds available for jobs. At relief headquarters yesterday, 50 welfare workers, who said they were afraid discontinuance of the Federal dole would mean loss of their jobs, appealed for continuance of direct relief beyond December 1. The official reply, given by Aubrey Williams, acting works progress ad- ministrator, was that although he be- lieved case work should be continued for unemployables, funds did not per=- mit additional expenditures after the work-relief program gets fully under way. : Williame® reiteration that direct | P Mrs. Frances Loring, mother of the slain Corinna Loring, sobbing, at left, as she appeared yesterday at Upper Marlboro Court House for questioning by Lieut.

After a year of self-styled “looking out the window” in the American Federation of Labor’s Executive Coun= cil, Jol L. Lewis has decided to wage his industrial unionism battle from the outside. He resigned yester- day as a federation vice president. The heavy-set chief of the United Mine Workers addressed a one- sentence letter of resignation to Presi- dent Willlam Green and left the Cap- ital without a further statement of his motives. ‘There was no doubt in labor circles, however, that the resignaticn was another step in Lewis’ long fight to force the federation to organize mass production workers by industry rather | than by craft. That is, he would hrje | workers in the steel industry in‘a single union, rather than the m.- chinists and other groups in separs, | organizations.
