SHANGHAI, October 3.—A marked slackening of the high-voltage tension which gripped Shanghai following the death sentence meted out to two Chi- nese over the slaying of a Japanese paval officer, resulted today as the majority of Japanese guards was with- drawn from the Hongkew district. i Panicky Chinese, who had begun to | evacuate the Hongkew district to seek | refuge in the international settle- ment, began to return to their homes, still nervous, but reassured by posters declaring: “The situation is the result of evil tumor mongers.

SAN FRANCISCO, October 3.— Trans-Pacific skyliners will start car- rying human cargo next week and soon thereafter will open to the trav- eling public the final link in & chain of passenger airlines virtually encir- cling the earth. \ After October 21, any one with the necessary cash and passports may fly around the world on regularly estab- lished passenger air routes, except for an 850-mile stretch between Manila and the China Coast. The new highroad to adventure will begin to unfold next Wednesday when several newspaper men leave BSan Francisco for Manila in a prel survey tour of the 10,700-mile all- American air route from New York to the Philippines. A fortnight thereafter Pan-Ameri- can Airways' big Hawail clipper will speed out over the Golden Gate, Manils bound, on the inaugural trans- Pacific passenger flight with six or more regular passengers. Weekly Departures Planned. The trans-Pacific schedule calls for weekly departures from both Manila and San Francisco. To the traveling public this means it will be possible to fly around the world on regularly established passen- ger lines. The air voyager may fly from Lake- hurst, N. J., to Frankfort, Germany, 3.400 miles, on the German Zeppelin Hindenburg; across Europe and Asia, 8,200 miles, on German Lufthansa and British Imperial Airways planes to Hanoi, French Indo China; thence by boat to Manila, 850 miles, and on | across the Pacific to San Francisco, | and back to New York. With good connections the voyager | may be able to cover the route in| | about three weeks. | To Americans the new Pacific line | means New York and Honolulu are only 36 fiying hours apart; New York and Manila only six traveling days | apart. i Weigh About 26 Tons. Fully loaded, each plane weighs | al veloping a total of 3,200 horsepower. | The wing span is 130 feet, the body | 90 feet long. The interior area is just about the size of a Pullman car. ‘With mail and passengers each plane | can fly 3.000 miles without landing. This is 600 miles farther than the longest leg of the route.

He is the STRONGER BASES Would Place Pacific ' De- fenses on Par With East- ern Operating Points. BY ALBERT L. VARNER. A strengthening of both the ficet and its operating bases, with particu- lar attention to putting coastal de- fenses of the Pacific area on a par with Eastern operating points, is profected in Navy Department plans jnvolving & building program and base construction for the next year, it was disclosed yesterday. The Navy. program . tentatively slated to go before the next Congress includes- the following: Six submarines and eight to twelve destroyers, all to be built within the limits of the London naval treaty of 1930 although that treaty expires December 31 and no quantitative limitations are left. Continuation of two replace- ment battleships which are prob- ably to be started in January with funds in hand. Increase of enlisted men by 5,000, provided White House ap- proval is forthcoming for this move to man the increasing number of actively operating vessels. Construction of a $12,000.000 naval supply base in San Fran- cisco Bay on the Oakland water front and next to the new naval air base to be built at Alameda. ‘This will give the fleet its first real operating facilities in Northern California. Building to Be Done. The Navy Department is under- stood to be content to rest on the limits of the expiring naval treaty, but that gives it some additional buflding vet to do, as well as replace- ment construction. With seven bnt-l tieships reckoned as over-age in Jan- uary, the naval command would like to see two battleships started every three years in a regular program of construction which would cover the near relatives of the chosen friend. | world which knew him so well as|tain the old treaty limits, avolding Rarely is this veil discreetly dra: | Prince of Wales should not have been | the humps and low spots of irregular | aside. as history prefers its portrait |taken by surprise at his desire, as construction. | clearly limned and without distracting background. A similar procedure has been adopt- ed by the world press, with news bout 26 tons, has four engines de-| mention of King Edward's friends, Mr. | of man. and Mrs. Ernest Aldrich Simpson. The spotlight has been thrown on Mrs. Simpson, while her husband. who is also a personal friend of King Ed- ward's, rarely gets more than a bare mention. The English feel that this circum- stance automatically distorts a rela- tionship between three people and gives rise to rumors which are so eas- | ily raised and so difficult to scotch. Long before he came to the throne the King, then Prince of Wales, was | on very friendly terms with Mr. and Mrs. Simpson, frequently dined with them and they were often seen to- gether at fashionable restaurants in the West End of London. him through Thelma, Lady Furness, sister of Mrs. Gloria Vanderbilt. Sparkling Conversationalist. ‘The Prince found in Mrs. Simpson a witty and sparkling conversational- | ist, with whom he had many tastes in | common. Both were expert dancers of the tango, and both enjoyed “hot” jazz. They are both ardent garden- ers and frequent week ends at Fort Belvedere, the beautiful country home of the King, are spent in the garden. Mr. and Mrs. Simpson have been seen in the royal box at Covent Gar- | den Opera House, sometimes with the King and sometimes without him. Mrs. Simpson enjoyed the rare honor of | the balcony of Friar's Court, St. James. These unconventional excursions of the friends to theaters, cocktail par- ties and restaurants in the West End when the King was Prince of Wales gave rise to a good deal of shoulder- shrugging and raising of eyebrows among the older members of King George's court circle, and it is an open secret that the late King himself did not wholly approve of his son's new- found friends. Both King George and Queen Mary rigidly opposed their introduction to court functions, and a minor sensation was created by Mrs. Simpson's appearance at the jubilee ball at Buckingham Palace last year. King George's Example. When King George died, Edward VIII was expected by the “old or- der,” which had ruled at Buck- ingham Palace throughout the late King's reign, ‘to drop his unconven- tional ways, or at least to keep his friends who were not of the aris- tocracy discreetly in the background. It was felt that the precedent estab- lished by King George and Queen Mary should be carried on, not only in the interests of the British social caste but also in that of monarchial government. With thrones toppling in Europe or being in subjugation to a dictatorship, it was the considered opinion of advisers to the throne that King George and Queen Mary were the perfect exemplars of British con- stitutional monarchy. King George retained his hold on the nation by a strict observance of middle-class conventions. He and Queen Mary regularly attended divine service, and their home life epitomized that of the middle and lower middle classes of England. The fear was that Edward VIII, by taking a line of his own, would upset this balance, and there are still many of his coun- sellors who are disturbed at his un- conventional ways. King Edward, however, has chosen to go his own way. He is not a strict churchgoer, but attends cere- monial services when it is impera- tive for royalty to be present. Not only has he departed from the set standards laid down by King George, but he has sought as his counseliors younger men—personalities more: in keeping with the spirit of the times. This has given rise to a considerabje amount of bitterness and has split high soclety into two sections. 'The sedate division affects no liking ; for the American friends in his retinue, but the younger and more cheerful set exults b having & King who has thrown off the fetters of outmoded etiquette. 3 Blow to Old Order. To the old “order, it came as s harsh blow to have Mr. and Mrs. Simpson’s names mentioned ‘In the court circular, that exclusive journal which is the cachet of the most ex- clusive y in the world.

He got | most of his schooling in America and, | |after a course at Harvard, he joined | his father in a ship-chartering busi- | ness which brought him to London. Much has been made of the fact that Mr. Simpson did not accompany his wife on the yacht Nahlin's trip to | the Mediterranean, on the King's va- tation trip, but he was detained in| | London on important business nego- tiations. He did, however, spend a | | short holiday in Norway and Sweden | | while his wife was on the Mediterra- | nean cruise. | Mr. Simpson has very few intimate friends and certainly none among the fair sex.

In well-informed circles, Mr. Simp- son’s name has been mentioned among others who are likely to be honored. | The nature of such an honor is the | subject of considerable speculation. ‘What is not beyond doubt is that if such an honor is conferred, it will be entirely on the King's initiative, un- affected by court precedent.

This attitude, unusual in & King, has been 50 distorted by mystery and ill-found- ed rumor that it has placed these three persons in an invidious position. In a lower walk of life, such a re- lationship would pass without men- | tion, but when a crowned head is con- | cerned the whole world sits up, not only to take notice, but to put its own sinister interpretation upon it.

U.S.May Profit By the Associated Press. Treasury officials estimated today that the Government might claim more than $1,000,000 of & legendary treasure which salvagers hope to take from a British warship sunk 150 years | ago off the east shore of Manhattan Island. Search for the $4,800,000 of gold and silver reputed to be the silt- choked hull of the British te Hus- sar is being pressed by Simon Lake, 70-year-old Connecticut submarine inventor. Noting that the Government has had its eyé on this treasure trove for nearly a century, attaches said they already had made a bargain with Lake for dividing the spolls—if they ever are fished from the bottom of the East River. Although the Nation has legal rights in “wrecked or abandoned property,” Treasury experts said, it usually gives & large share to the discoverer. In this case, Lakes salvaging firm would keep 90 per cent of the treasure, while $480,000.

The construction of two battle- ships, the first to be started since the signing of the Washington naval treaty, was made contingent by Con- gress on a presidential finding that battleship building was to be renewed by some other country.

HITLER WILL ASK FOR MORE CROPS Pageant of Guns to Precede Hameln “Thanksgiving” Fete Address. By the Assoclated Press. HAMELN, Germany, October 3.— | Amid a bristling pageant of Germany's military might, Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitler tomorrow is scheduled to ask 500,000 German farmers for mors crops. Thousands of tents dotted the Bueckeberg hillside tonight, ready to shelter farmers and townsmen from all parts of the Reichland who will participate in the harvest “thanks- giving” festival on the outskirts of this ancient village, famed in nursery rhyme folklore for the “pied piper of | Hameln town.” Into this pastoral scene a war-like note will be introduced with a parade of 200 armored tanks, battery, heavy ordnance, fleld guns, machine guns and mine-throwers, followed by an air pageant. Hitler is scheduled to address the great asemblage at 2 pm, (8 am, Eastern standard time), with his speech laying stress on their main duty to the Fatherland—to keep a steady supply of home-raised food supplies flowing from country into city. Diplomatie Corps Invited. The entire diplomatic corps has been invited to witness the colorful spece tacle, which will be enlivened by coun- try dances, peasant costumes, illumi- nations and a grand tatoo. One hundred and ninety special trains will bring the festive-minded crowds. Hitler is expected to emphasize the need of cutting down on fat consump= tion. Bread enough for everybody and a satisfactory amount of cattle feed have been assured by the new harvest, but nobody, it is apparent, is going to live off the fat of the land. The fat problem is again acute, and the Reich Food Estate has advised the country to eat more bread, potatoes and sugar. Meat, butter and egg prospects are not so bright, with prices rocketing, and a shortage seemingly inevitable before snow manties the Fatherland. Price Boosting Discouraged. Stern government warnings against price boosting have been followed by jail sentences, in several instances. A Schleswig butcher was arrested and fined, a Berlin butcher shop was closed for one month, two egg dealers in Cologne were forced to stop trad- ing temporarily and a cattle dealer was put out of business for & long period. . Two autemobile tire companies raised their prices because of the rub- ber shortage, and immediately the economics ministry came dowa on them. On the whole. the harvest estimates compare favorably with those of last year, although & poor fruit erop, coupled with the stoppage of supplies resulting from the Spanish Civil War, has made fruit prospects for the Winter rather slim.
