BACKGROUND— Reports of growing German- Japanese rapprochement in the face of exparnsion of Communist influence in Europe and Asia cule minated early this week in admis- sions from Berlin that a com- munity of interest ezisted with Japan, but that no formal alli- ance had been arrived at. Japan busy fighting communism within her own borders as well as among Chinese, over whom she is gradually extending sway from the northern provinces.

BERLIN, November 25.—Germany and Japan signed today an agree- | ment directed against the Communist Internationale. The alliance was signed at the for- eign office after the government had announced it would publish an “of- ficial declaration” this afternoon.

Ambassadors of all foreign nations were summoned by sudden invitation for the ceremony. Five Points in Agreement. The agreement, asserting the In- ternational Communist organization, | with headquarters at Moscow, is aimed “at directing and violating ex- isting states with all means at its command,” said the two governments believed tolerance of such alleged in- terference “threatens world peace at large.” Hence, Japan and Germany bound themselves for a period of five years to: 1. Inform and consult with each ether and execute co-operative action to combat Communist Internationale activity. » 2. Invite third parties “whose do- | mestic peace is endangered by the dis- [ ruptive activities of the Communist | Internationale” to join them. 3.

NEW ATOMIC ACTION INTRIGUES SCIENCE But Report of Another Basic Unit of All Matter Is Held 2 Premature. BY the Associated Press. CHEYENNE, Wyo., November 25.— Dr. Carl David Anderson, Nobel prize winner, professed keen interest today in some mysterious “new kinds of atomic disintegrations” but denied he had found “new atomic particles.” His assistant; Dr. 8. H. Neddermeyer, labeled as “premature” a report that & new basic unit of all matter has been discovered. The report leaked out of a con- ference of scientists at California In- stitute of Technology with which Dr. Anderson is affiliated. “We have found no new atomic particles,” Dr, Anderson said here after leaving a transcontinental plane for a night's stop over. “In our ex- periments on Pike's Peak two Sum- mers ago we found new kinds of atomic disintegrations, but have not been able to identify the kinds of particles. “We expect to continue our experi- ments in that direction during next year, either on Pike’s Peak or in the equatorial section. “It doesn’t look as if we would be Entered as second class matter post office, Washington, D.

James Roosevelt Will Act as Father’s Aide Commissioning of Son| Brings Comment in Service Circles. BY WILLIAM A. MILLEN. Lieut. Col. James Roosevelt, U. 8. Marine Reserve, now aboard the cruiser Indianapolis, will act as aide to his dis- tinguished father, the President, for the duration of the South American cruise—at least. The commissioning of the Chief Executive’s son, which became known ‘when he went ashore uniform at Trinidad with Capt. ul Bastedo, the President’s naval aide, has caused considerable comment, especially in service circles. Secretary Swanson, responding to a query about the status of the much-publicized Marine Corps lieutenant colonel, said that he is now “receiving active duty training at sea.” The cabinet officer’s statement fols lows: “Mr. James Roosevelt was sworn in as a lieutenant colonel in the United States Marine Corps Reserve on Fri- day, November 13.

BACKGROUND— Josef Stalin, succeeding Nikolai Lenin as Russia’s dictator, brought to Russia the policy of internal develpoment in place of the violent world-revolutionary philosophy of Trotzky, who was eriled because of his incompatability with the new regime. In prosecuting his objective of proving the value.of socialism, Stalin inaugurated and carried through the first five-year plan and has initiated the second flve- vear plan to carry Russia’s indus- trial progress even further. The new constitution was drafted with the purpose of liberalizing the Soviet regime. By the Assocated Press. / MOSCOW, November 25—A wild, ' 20-minute ovation for Joseph Stalin | tonight opened the eighth All-Union | Congress of Soviets, at which the sec- retary-general of the Communist party : presenting a new national constitu- lon. The scene was the great White Pal- ace, inside the snow-covered Kremlin walls. Stalin appeared in excellent health. He sat at the left of the rostrum with L. M. Kaganovitch, commissar of land | transport; Klementi E. Voroshiloff, | commissar of defense; G. K. Ordjoni- kidze, commissar of heavy industry, and other high Soviet officials. M. M.

Loy W. Henderson, the United States Charge d’Affaires, was among the dip- lomats in honor boxes above the ros- trum. Convocation ceremonies were plan- ned to include the second public speech in history by Stalin, who offi- cially is secretary general of the Com- munist party. Eskimos Represented.

SURVIVORS RELATE STORIES OF HORROR Fourfold Probe Is Launched. Motorman Says He Saw Lights Too Late. BY the Associatea Press. CHICAGO, November 25.—The worst elevated train wreck in Chi- cago history left nine dead and at least 65 in hospitals today. Little hope was held for the recovery of two other victims. A fourfold investigation sought an | explanation of the tragedy. | The victims were trapped in a | wooden coach, the last of an eight- | car Chicago Elevated Line express train. The elevated was struck on a | span 20 feet above street level by a 90,000-pound steel car of the Chi-| cago, North Shore & Milwaukee Rail- | road, which uses the elevated right | of way in the city limits. The heavy car plowed two-thirds of the lighter car's length, breaking | out the wooden coach sides. Key figure of the investigations was Van R. Grooms, 36, motorman of the North Shore train. Injured himself, and “in an overwrought mental con- dition,” doctors said, Grooms was in technical custody. Saw Lights Too Late. Deputy Coroner James J. Whalen, who obtained the only statement from the distraught railroad man, quoted | Grooms as saying: “The lights on the | ‘L’ train were so dim I couldn't see | them until I saw the car itself. I| put on my brakes, but it was too late to stop.” ‘Two policemen were at Grooms' side and permitted no one to see him until he was able to give a detailed story. Dr. C. T. McGarry said Grooms' injuries were severe lacerations of one | leg and chest bruises. Both railway companies, the coro- ner and the Fire Department launched investigations. The passengers boarded the north- | bound express “L” train in the down- | town “Loop” distriet about 5:30 pm. | The North Shore train was also northbound, with passengers living in northside suburbs. It was dark, but at Granville Sta- tion, 62 blocks north of the “Loop,” the four-track elevated right of way is straight. Police said trains should be visible for & mile and & half at| the point. The elevated train stopped near Granville Station on the outer express | the inner loca: track. | Passengers told of hearing the whistle of the approaching Northshore | train, travelling, investigators said, | about 40 miles an hour.

BACKGROUND— A tradition of secrecy has grown apace with Lindbergh's flights. It began almost simultaneously with his epoch-making solo flight to Paris, accentuating his habit of avoiding publicity when possible. Aversion to public notice grew stronger after his marriage and honeymoon. Then, following the kidnaping of his first-born and the Hauptman trial and erecution, he decided to move his family to Eng- land. Since, his movements have been observed with extreme dif- fculty. By the Assoclated Press. LONDON, November 35.— Col. Charles A. Lindbergh landed at 4 p.m yesterday at the Royal Air Force Air- drome at Sealand, near Chester, and drove away without a word, it was es- tablished tonight. That settled definitely a day and a | night of near alarm resulting from | absence of any report of the colonel's arrival following a three-hour flight from Ireland. It was presumed Lindbergh had gone to his home, Sevenoaks, in Kent. Even before his whereabouts were | established, anxiety had been eased by the terse assurance, “the colonel is quite safe,”” from a woman at the fiyer's country house. “Reports that he is missing are silly,” she said over the telephone. “He is quite all right.” Then she hung up, refusing further information. The question still “Where is Col. Lindbergh?” Queries Flood Exchanges. Telephone exchanges at Dublin and Belfast were flooded with inquiries throughout the night and morning. Attendants at airports around Lon- don also were deluged with queries. They could only answer: “He hasn't landed here.” Frank Aiken, Irish minister of de- fense who conferred with Lindbergh before the take-off yesterday, first diclosed the mystery of the fiyer's un- reported position.

The Justice Department today filed | in the District Court of Massachu-| setts a brief defending constitution- | ality of so-called pay roll taxes im- posed under Title 9 of the social se- curity act. This title concerns un- employment insurance. Validity of the act had been ques- tioned in the case of Davis versus| now pending before Federal Judge George C. Sweeney, presiding in the District Court at Boston. In the brief, the Government con- tends the pay roll tax is “a proper exercise by Congress of its taxing power,” that it is “a true excise and conforms to the constitutional re- quirements that excises be levied with geographical uniformity,” that there is no taking of property from one class for the benefit of another, because no Federal system of unemployment insurance is set up. “All unemployment insurance bene- fits to employes,” the Government de- clared, “are paid out of State funds, no part of which ever consisted either directly or indirectly of Federal money.” The Government's brief also con- tends that various exemptions from the tax of employers of fewer than eight individuals are reasonable and not in violation of the Constitution. The claim is made by the Govern- ment that the tax is a revenue measure and that such a measure is not invalidated because “Congress may have also had in mind a non- fiscal purpose of encouraging States fltlb adopt unemployment compensation Ws."” SUIYUAN DEFENDERS CLAIM 2 VICTORIES Army of Mongols and Manchu- kuoans Reported Driven From Paolingmiao. BY the Associatea Press. B OF YOUTH FOUND NEARRVER George A. Yocum, Hotel Clerk, Believed to Have Fallen Into Ditch. The body of George A. Yocum, 20, of 1324 Newton place northeast, who has been missing since he left home Sunday for a hike along the towpath of the Chesapeake & Ohio canal, was found shortly before noon today in the feeder ditch which leads from the Potomac River to the canal proper near Brookmont, Md. Louis A. Smith, who lives near Brookmont and yesterday found the youth’s hat in the canal near his home, discovered the body, which had lodged against a log several feet under the surface. The water is about 18 feet deep at that point. The body was taken to the Pumph- rey funeral home at Bethesda, Md., where it was identified by the youth's father, George H. Yocum. An inquest was to be held by Justice of the Peace E. A. Condon after the autopsy was performed by Dr. A. A. Dunn. Believed to Have Fallen. ‘There was no outward evidence how his son met his death, George H. Yocum said, but it is believed he may | have been hiking along the river or feeder ditch and fallen in. He was active in many sports, but was un- able to swim, the father explained, and might easily have drowned even only a short distance from the bank. Young Yocum left home Sunday afternoon in his car to take a hike. His car was found yesterday parked near Chain Bridge and several per- sons reported having seen him run- ning north along the towpath Sunday afternoon. Hat First Clue. Pinding of his hat yesterday was the first indication of his fate. Smith began to drag the feeder ditch today and discovered the body within a few minutes. Besides his parents, he is survived by two sisters, Sister Frances Marie of the Sisters of St. Francis Convent, Towson, Md., who was formerly Flor- ence Yocum, a well known singer here, and Mrs. Michael Cahill of Washing- ton.

FEE INTENDED TO COVER ADMINISTRATION COSTS Rules Drafted for Commissioners by Committee of D. C. Officials. Licensing and regulation of parking lots, filling stations and garages will go into effect March 1, under rules adopted today by the District Commis- sioners on recommendation by a com- mittee of District officials. The plan as proposed by the com- mittee, which is headed by Assistant Corporation Counsel Edward W, Thomas, previously had met with the approval of the board. The licensing system followed complaints about the manner in which some lots were op- erated. Annual Fee Put at $10. Parking lots, filling stations and ga- rages having space for no more than 25 vehicles, allowing 160 square feet per vehicle, will pay an annual license | fee of $10. Places having a capacity | of 25 to 100 cars will be charged a fee of $15, and places having a capacity in excess of 100 vehicles will pay an annual fee of $25. The fees, which are intended to cover the cost of inspection and regu- lation, also are computed on the basis of an area used in a business. Where the area is 4,000 square feet or less the fee is $10; from 4,000 to 16,000 square feet, $15, and more than 16,000 square feet, $25. | " There is no provision for licensing ;the places where there is space for | storing four or less vehicles. | Therefore, operators of parking lots | and filling stations or garages which rented parking space for automobiles have not been subject to regulation as parking lot enterprises and have had only to obtain an occupancy permit. Approval to Be Required. Applications for licenses will require | approval of the fire marshal, the En- gineer Department and the building inspector.
