Dr. Vernon Lyman Kellogg, 69, per- manent secretary of the National Re- search Council here for 12 years and the first to hold that office, died yes- terday in Hartford, Conn. A distinguished scientist and au- thor, he was appointed first permanent secretary of the council in 1919, two years after the founding of the or- ganization, and remained in that capacity until 1931, when illness forced him to retire from active work. He has been secretary emeritus since then, A native of Kansas, he taught at the University of Kansas for a year in 1894, then became professor of entomology at Stanford University. He came to Washington in 1914 on leave of absence to join Herbert Hoover as & member of the Belgian Relief Commission and was sent to Brussels, From 1917 to 1919 he was assistant %o Hoover, then United States food administrator, later going to both Poland and Russia as investigator for the Relief Commission, ‘Wrote 20 Books. His more than 20 books and papers, principally on heredity, biology and evolution, include six volumes on the ‘World War and a biography of Hoover. Born in Emporia in 1867, he is said to have decided on the career of & naturalist even before entering the University of Kansas at 17, but promised his father, Lyman Beecher Kellogg, one-time attorney general of Kansas. who wanted him to be a lawyer, that he would make no defi- nite decision until a year after gradu- ation. At the university, he met William Allen White, and the two decided on some journalistic work, becoming edi- torial managers of Col. Learnard's paper in Lawrence following gradua- tion. The colonel had said he wanted “new blood” in his editorial columns, and he got it.

The advices said Japanese were rushing large scale reinforcements Into the area, including 4,000 troops from Nanyuan, south of Peiping, and 1,000 from Kupeikow, on the Man- ehukuo border. Chinese said the Japanese were “active” south of Tientsin, but that yuiet prevailed in the area south of Peiping. A Japanese Army headquarters Spokesman at Tientsin declared the Japanese had no fear of a Chinese drive northward from Shantung Prov- Ince toward Hopeh. Should there be such a campaign, however, he said, Japan would quickly land forces at Tsingtao and cut Chinese military connections between the northern coastal regions and Nanking. Light Chinese-Japanese skirmishing 8150 Was reported from the north, 30 miles south of Tientsin, between Jap- @nese cavalry and Chinese outposts. The sources which reported today’s trend toward negotiations made it plain the Japanese Army'’s terms would by recognition of Japanese control of the rich North China Province of Hopeh, where Japaneses have driven out most Chinese troops in a month of undeclared war. Chinese officials at Nanking declared their willingness to negotiate, provided that conditions laid down by Gen- eralissimo Chaing Kai-shek were ac- oepted as a basis. Those conditions were: A settlement must not infringe on Chinese territor- ial integrity; there must be no alter- ation in the status of the Hopeh- Chahar political council; restrictions must not be placed on the positions held by the Chinese 29th Army.

BRTIHHTALIA PACTHTS FRANE Paris Sure to Protest Peace Move of Powers, Lon- don Hears. BACKGROUND— Locarno treaty signed in 1925 was hailed as great advance for peace. Main European powers, England, France, Germany, Bel- gium and Italy, agreed to abide by eristing treaties, not to disturb peace. Treaty was formally ended by Hitler in remilitarization of the Rhineland last year, following Italy’s conquest of Ethiopia. Move was strongly condemned by Eng- land. Relations between Rome and London, once near breaking point, have improved recently. By the Associated Press. LONDON, August 9. —Possible French objections to a practical working | agreement between Great Britain and Italy arose today as diplomats began preparing Britain’s case for the Rome friendship talks in September. Diplomats were compelled to keep in mind constantly that a four-power Western pact to replace the aban- doned Locarno—reliably reported as & possible outcome of the growing friendliness—would raise a storm of protest in a People’s Front France, bound by a pact with Russia. On the other hand, it was felt likely that France, which has been follow- ing the British lead in most matters of foreign policy through traditional | fear of Germany, would realize that in the long run she would stand to| benefit as much as Britain by settling accounts with Italy. Foreign office experts, therefore. have set themselves with enthusiasm to the task of preparing the ground- work for the talks in which Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden and Count Galeazzo Ciano, Italian foreign min- ister, may participate. Practical considerations for the safety of Britain's imperial lifeline through the Mediterranean are felt to be at the root of the premier's move to end two years of embittered rela- tions between England and Italy. Sig- nificantly, the first moves were made on the eve of the imposing Italian war games in Libya—Italy’s colony on the border of Egypt—and around the strongly fortified base at Pantelleria, Sicily. The Mediterranean situation has been and will remain deadlocked, it was felt, as long as Italy remained | intrenched in the Balearic Islands in | the Western Mediterranean and could threaten the highway to the Suez | Canal from Pantelleria, while Britamn | could throttle Italy’s Ethiopian empire by closing—at least on paper—the Suez Canal. Both sides, therefore, are belicved | to have everything to gain by placing | their relations on a footing of muiual understanding. Premier Chamberlain, it is felt, is| now prepared to remove the “bugocar | of Ethiopia” by recognizing Italy's conquest; in addition to this, informed commentators said, Chamberlain even- tually was prepared to grant Italy a zone of influence in Spanish Morocco, gineering the Locarno pact among France, Germany, Italy and B:ilain In exchange, these commentators said, Britain would insist on Italy’s abandoning the Spanish Balearic Is- lands after the Spanish civil war is over, absolute cessation of anti-British propaganda in Arabian countries, guarantees against eventual Italian domination in Spain and, perhavs, dis- mantling of the Pantelleria fortifica- tions. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C NAZIS DELAY TRIAL AFTER OUTBURST No New Date Set in Niemoel- ler Case After Parade Protests Bans. By the Assoclated Press. BERLIN; August 9.—Trial of the Rev. Martin Niemoeller, Protestant Confessional leader, suddenly was postponed today after several hun- dred churchgoers had paraded in the streets of suburban Dahlem against & ban on prayer meetings for the “rebel pastor.” Mr. Niemoeller was to have gone on trial tomorrow charged with resistance to Nazi church policy. The eleventh-hour postponement was explained cryptically in official quarters as due “to tHe necessity for further examination of the evidence” against the wartime submarine com- mander. Church circles, however, envisaged the delay as the aftermath of the passionate outburst of resentment by Niemoller's congregation in Dahlem. Church men theorized that the gov- ernment preferred to avoid new dem- onstrations, and, therefore, postponed the trial until feeling subsided. No New Date Set. Protestant churches had arranged to toll their bells when the trial be- gan as a city-wide beckoning to prayer meetings for the pastor. Nazi versions of Sabbath demon- strations and ensuing wholesale ar- rests were that the worshippers who clashed with police were “adherents of the Niemoeller clique,” attempting to create & disturbance. Hastily summoned police broke up the spontaneous demonstration and hurried 115 of the paraders off to jail. They were released, however, after their names had been recorded. It was the first Protestant demon- stration of any size venting the church membership's ire against Nazi efforts to regulate church affairs. In the Catholic controversy with the Ger- man government there have been such outbreaks. A Catholic parade in Munich last June ended in fist fights and brought several arrests. Some mystery was added to the Dahlem demonstration by the fact the ministry of propaganda admitted the occurrence, while the gestapo (secret police) professed ignorance of the incident. “‘Seventy-five old women and 40 old men who expressed their sym- pathy for Niemoeller were arrested by the police after their attempts to disperse the crowd amicably proved futile,” the ministry declared. Gestapo officials, obviously attempt- ing to minimize the occurrence, said, “We would be in the first place to know of such a parade, but nothing has been reported here." Berlin's morning newspapers ignored the story, but the news spread rapidly throughout the capital. The parade through Dahlem'’s tree- lined streets started soon after an announcement was read from the pulpit of Niemoeller's Jesus Christ Church imposing the ban, but not stating its source. The Rev. Mr. Niemoeller was im- prisoned and ordered to stand trial for his militancy in the Dahlem pul- pit. Many considered that the dem- onstration gave added importance to tomorrow’s trial in the church-state controversy. Tax Loopholes *'Cominufd From First Page. \»h the retention by a personal holding company of its income.” Magill said if legislation were post- poned until next session, serious rev- enue losses would continue another year or more. Representative Woodruff, Republic- | an, of Michigan suggested the legisla- tion could be passed next year and made retroactive to January 1, 1937. “You are coming before the com- mittee at this time with demands cov- ering part of the law,” Woodruff re- plied, “at a time when we can't hope to give the matter proper consideration and when only five or six members of the committee have any idea what it is about. The Treasury apparently has been a little remiss in not having all the information on tax avoidance.’ Representative Cooper, Democrat, of Tennessee eccused Woodruff of parti- sanship that was becoming “annoying and exasperating.” Magill said there were “reasonable | hopes™ the States might approve a constitutional amendment that would allow the Federal Government to tax their bonds, if they were permitted to tax Federal bonds. But the loss of Tevenue by reason of tax exemption of securities, he said, was not as great as generally supposed—perhaps $70,- 000,000 a year. Japanese and Chinese expressed a be- lief that the conflict might be settled peaceably, for at least a time. New Regime Set Up. TIENTSIN, August 9 (#).—While the Japanese Army completed its conquest of Northeastern Hopeh Province from China today Japanese administrators moved slowly toward establishment of a permanent civil government that would ignore Chinese claims to sov- ereignty over the rich region. A Japanese brigade of 3,000 men marched into the City of Peiping yesterday with 50 trucks, 10 heavy and 5 light tanks and considerable cav- alry, took the ancient capital of China’s Manchu Emperors under its protection and made it, for all prac- tical purposes, a Japanese city. The Japanese troops, commanded by Maj. Gen. T. Kawabe, paraded along the boulevards and under arches of triumph that proclaimed imperial China’s glories, then the various units deployed throughout the city, taking up their garrison duties. In Tientsin, army headquarters of the Japanese who have wrested North- eastern Hopeh from Chinese troops in a month of undeclared war, the Judiciary, police and communication administrations were brought under complete Japanese control. The Jap- anese co-commissioner of the Chinese salt monopoly announced he had taken charge of the Tientsin ad- ministration district, including the Changlu salt fields, one of the richest in China. The municipal governments of Pei- ping and Tientsin, formerly under the control of the Chinese cabinet at Nanking, have been placed in the hands of the Japanese formed and supported “peace preservation socie- ties.” Their aim, like the Hopeh- Chahar provincial advisory commit- tees, is to “register opposition to the advance of troops of the Chinese government into Hopeh and maintain friendly relations with Japan.” The usefulness of Tientsin's Mayor, Gen. Chang Tzu-chung, as a wedge to split the armed opposition to the Japanese advance has ended, and he is being allowed to retire. This en- ables the Japanese to change the Hopeh-Chahar Political Council—es- tablished by the Nanking government —to the advisory committees to which the Japanese have appointed survivors of the mandarin class under the Manchu Emperors. ‘There was speculation as to whether the new regime was paving the way for the last of that line, Hsuan Tung, the former boy Emperor, to return to the dragon throne. Since 1934 Japan has maintained him as the Emperor Kang Teh on the throne of Manchu- kuo. The tactics used in establishing the current regime, Chinese charged, are identical to those used in changing | the government of Manchuria to Manchukuo before Kang Teh was Placed on the throne. Chinese specu- lated on the possibility Kang Teh might rule a combined Manchukuo and North China from Peiping. ® ESTABLISHED 1865 o UNDERSELLING The Barker Policy We do not mean low prices without quelity; any one can do that end it's expen- sive to the purchaser.
