BACKGROUND— Striking during a heavy snow- storm last February 26, Japanese Army officers led a bloody uprising against government officials in what they termed an effort to stamp out official corruption. Ad- miral Count Makota Saito, lord keeper of the privy seal, and Kore=- kiyo Takahashi, minister of finance, were among those killed. Premier Okada escaped when attacker mis- took his brother-in-law for him. A swift round-up of rebels brought nearly 100 defore a court-martial. By the Associated Press. TOKIO, July 7.—Seventeen leaders of Japan's military rebellion last Feb- ruary probably will die before a firing squad “within five days,” army au- thorities said today. The execution is being planned for dawn, the officials declared, but an- nouncement of the shooting will be delayed several hours.

A communique, however, issued by the army recognized “some degree of righteousness in the motives of the rebel officers, who acted chiefly be- cause of resentment over current con- ditions in the nation and patriotic NA. 1348, “The Lumber Number” COMING SOONI WATCH FOR ANNOUNCEMENT *© T.M.Reg U.S. Par.

Hence the sen- tences were inflicted.” Vote of Sympathy. A further note of sympathy was found in the description of the mo- tives of rebel leaders based on their own testimony as cited in the judg- ment. ‘The leaders, the testimony disclosed, “deplored the corrupt tendencies of the age, the flippancy of the public mind, and felt deep concern for the future of the country. “They considered the time had come to advance the empire’s fortunes through the promotion of a national spirit and provision of adequate na- tional armaments, * * * “They believed, moreover, the sol- diers at the front and in barracks lacked assurance their families, left behind in poverty-stricken agrarian and fishing villages, would -be ade- | quately cared for. Point to Ills Seen. “They believed the authorities spirit- less in coping with this emergency, that both the domestic administra- |tion and foreign diplomacy were on the decline, while political parties sought only their selfish ends and financial magnates tried only to satisfy their own avarice regardiess of the misery of the people. “They believed the Emperor's su- preme prerogatives violated by meas- ures taken to conclude the London naval treaty in 1930. All this they considered the logical consequence of lack of respect for the Emperor's sov- ereign rights by statesmen close to the throne, a bugeaucracy of military leaders, political parties and financial magnates—all the so-called privileged classes. it “In order to manifest the true form of an imperial realm ruled by one sovereign through all the ages, they believed the privileged classes must be |overthrown and the state radically | reformed.” Cites Plan of Rebellion. “They claimed statesmen close to the throne had the temerity to com- mit the crime of interference in the Emperor’s supreme prerogatives, but since such statesmen were above an overthrow by legal means, the rebel officers were convinced methods tran- scending the law must be adopted and units of the Imperial Army used for this purpose: “They must resort to direct action to bring heaven’s punishment on these statesmen. “They were convinced such action was patriotic and justified by the critical nature of the times.” Capt. Teruzo Ando of the 3rd In- fantry Regiment headed the list of condemned rebels, all of whom were ‘once officers or cadets in the Em- peror's Army. n|CARNIVAL OPENED BY ST.

Text of Landon Address Kansas Governor Asks Legislature in Special Ses- sion to Vote Constitution Change to Permit Security Participation. By the Associated Press. TOPEKA, Kans, July 7.—Text of the address of Gov. Alf M. Landon to the Kansas Legislature today follows: The primary purpose for calling this special session of the Legislature is that such action be taken as may be necessary to enable this State to pro- vide for what we generally call socfal security. Under section 4 of article 7 of the constitution of this State the obliga- tion is placed upon the respective counties of the State to provide'for persons who by reason of age, infirm- ity or other misfortune may have claims upon the sympathy and aid of soctety. I am advised by the attorney gen- eral of the State and a large majority of the Judiciary Committee of the Legislative Council that under the constitution of our State the Legis- lature cannot pass valid laws under which the State itself may take a proper part in this public obligation. They advise me that in order to do so our State constitution must be amend- . The reason for a special session at this time to consider the question of constitutional amendment is ob- vious. Such amendment can only be submitted at a general election and the notice must be published at least three months before such election. amendments will be pre- sented to you, which, if submitted by you and adopted by the pecple of this State will enable the Legislature to pass laws providing for the necessary social security. I trust that a proper amendment, or amendments, will be submitted by you to the people of this State at the November election and will receive the approval of the elec- " Such amendment should not, in my judgment, contain the details of & plan which may finally be adopted in this State. It should merely be a grant of power. The methods of administra- tion have no part in the constitution of the State, but should be left to the wisdom and the sound judgment of the Legislature. This is the procedure fol- lowed In the original drafting of our Constitution and the subsequent amendments. My confidence in the legislators of this State assures me that if this power is entrusted to them it will be exercised in a wise, sound and just manner to the end that the obligation of the State to its less for- tunate may be fulfilled and the rights of all of our people justly protected. In considering proposed amend- ments, I desire to call attention to the fact that the platform of the Repub- lican party adopted at its national convention provides for a plan of so- cial security different from the social security act adopted by Congress. I do not deem this a fitting time to en- ter into a discussion of the relative merits of the present act and the pro- posals set out in the Republican plat- form. Any proposed amendment to the Constitution should merely grant to the Legislature of the State the power to enact laws to enable this Btate to join in any such final act for this purpose as may ultimately become the settled law upon this question. I do not believe that the present constituplonal provisions for the care of the aged, infirm or other unfortu- nates should be repealed. By amend- ment we should provide merely a grant of additional power to the Legis- lature so that it may place the burden either locally or in the State, or both, as it may deem best or as may be necessary in order to co-operate with the Federal Government. In the call for this special session an appropriation of money for needed public bulldings was proposed. There is need for additional buildings at the Larned State Hospital and at the State Sanatorium for Tuberculosis at Norton, and a replacement of the burned chemistry building at the Kansas State College of Agriculture and Applied Science at Manhattan and perhaps some others. The State architect is working on plans and specifications for these pro- posed new buildings. Such plans will not be completed early enough for the construction of buildings to proceed during the Winter months, even if this Legislature should make the necessary appropriations. For this reason I am not suggesting that appropriations be made for this purpose. Inasmuch as the early construction of these build- ings is necessary I shall endeavor to see that the tax levy for the current year is broad enough to include this construction. In the budget which will be submitted to the next Legisla- ture by the executive department a recommendation will be made that these buildings be constructed at once. The Legislature will convene in regular session next January. If it shall decide to make appropriations for these build- ings the funds will then be immedi- ately available for the purpose. I take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to the members of this Legislature for the many cour- tesies shown me, and the spirit of 0-operation manifested in the con- sideration of constructive legislation. Kansas has benefited by the non- partisan statesmanlike service which you have rendered. Legislative duty at this busy season of the year means great sacrifice to the members. I am confident the people of our State appreciate the individual self-denial now as well as the high character of your past per- formances, Landon (Continued From First Page.) would carry New Jersey in November | “by a quarter of a million.” Representative Martin porters: “We will carry everything in the told re- | East, including Maryland. In the South, we may take Virginia, Florids and North Carolina.” During the morning the Governor received leaders of the Allied Workers them to legislative leaders, who ar- ranged for their apeparance before the Judiciary Committees of the two Houses. Landon was applauded and cheered as he walked to the dais and he smiled and waved to the crowd. He was presented by Lieut. Gov. Charles ‘W. Thompson for his address cf less than 1,000 words. He urged a “grant of power,” so that the Legislature might provide for the “necessary social security” and recommended that such a constitu- tional amendment be ratified. “In considering proposed amend- ments,” Landon told the Legislature, “I desire to call attention to the fact that the platform of the Republican party adopted at its National Conven- tion provides for a plan of social se- curity different from the social se- curity act adopted by Congress. “I do not deem this a fitting time to enter into a discussion of the rela- tive merits of the present act and the proposal set out in the Republican platform. Afy proposed amendment to the Constitution should merely grant to the Legislature of the State the power to enact laws to enable this State to join in any such final act for this purpose as may ultimately be- come the settled law upon this ques- tion.” The Republican platform proposed & pay- you-go old-age security sys- tem; that citizens over 65 should re- celve “the supplementary payment necessary to provide a minimum in- come” sufficient to protect from want; Federal contributions to States, with the necessary revenues raised through a direct tax widely distributed. It further proposes to encourage adop- tion by States of “honest and prac- tical methods for meeting the prob- |- lems of unemployment insurance.” Legislative leaders, in busy night con- ferences were virtually agreed upon two amendments, exact wording of which was left to last-minute meetings of the Senate and House Judiciary Com- mittees. In general, one amendment | would empower the State to provid: | a uniform system and appropriate | money for caring for the aged, infirm and unfortunate—a gunction Repub- lican leaders said now was reserved to counties. 7 WHERE T0 DINE.

Geoghan of Brooklyn had 20 days today to answer charges of negligence and incompe- tence made against him by a special "grand jury investigating the Drukman murder case. Gov. Herbert H. Lehman sent a let- ter to the Kings County prosecutor giving him until July 27 to reply, after a three-hour conference yester- day with Hiram C. Todd, special prose- cutor who superseded the district at- torney in the Drukman case. The Governor declined to consider charges against Geoghan several weeks 2go because the Drukman in- vestigation was not then completed. ‘The grand jury accused Geoghan of “negligence and gross incompetence” in the handling of the Drukman in- vestigation. It also charged that he assoclated with “certain persons in- With 1 Genasco Latite Shingles Guaran- teed Ten Years Estimates Free ENTERPRISE ROOFING CO.

Three men were convicted of the killing and several others were convicted of conspiring to shield the murderers or are still under such an indictment in an investiga- tion conducted by Todd. A Geoghan grand jury freed the men later con- victed of the killing. Pastor Gets Call.
