GENEVA, October 9.—China, plead- | ng that the war with Japan daily 15% proving more disastrous to her, today | urged speedy convocation of the Nine- power Treaty Conference to adopt ef- fective measures to end the conflict. Acceptance of a League invitation to | China, one of the adherents to the! treaty guaranteeing her territorial in- | tegrity, to participate in the confer- ence, came in a cablegram from Nan- king, China’s capital, signed by Wang Chung-hui, her foreign minister. It said: “I have been apprised of the invita- tion extended by Your Excellency (Aga Khan, president of the League Assembly) in pursuance of the resolu- tion adopted by the Assembly October 7. to the Chinese government to initi- ate with other signatories of the nine- power treaty consultation regarding the situation arising out of the aggres- sive action of Japanese armed forces in China. “The Chinese government gladly accepts the invitation and expresses hope that as Japan’s armed invasion | of China is proving more and more disastrous in its effects with the pass- ing of every day that the powers con- cerned will lose no time proceeding with such consultation as is contem- plated and adopt the most useful and effective measures to put an imme- diate end to the conflict.” HOLIDAY OFFENSIVE EXPECTED. Chinese and Japanese Awaiting New Attacks Tomorrow. SHANGHALI, October 9 (#).—Chinese and Japanese forces waited appre- hensively tonight for the dawning of China's national holiday tomorrow, each on guard against the other’s ex- pected offensive. ‘The Chinese have boasted they will eelebrate the twenty-sixth anniversary | of the establishment of their constitu- | tional government with & successful | drive to push the Japanese out of the | Bhanghai sector. The Japanese hope | to make the anniversary a day of humiliation. Adding to the woes of Shanghai's foreign population, menaced by burst- ing bombs on their outskirts and a cholera plague in their midst, public health officials advised all residents to be vaccinated against smallpox. Continuous heavy rains today pre- vented Gen. Iwane Matsui, Japanese eommander in chief at Shanghai, from carrying out his threatened “scourge” | of Chinese troops on the Shanghai front. The Japanese claimed advances of 800 yards in minor operations on the Lotien-Kiating sector, about 20 miles‘ northwest of Shanghai. | Japanese planes continued their ! bombing activities in various parts of | China extending from the Tientsin- Pukow Railroad in North China to Canton in South China. Nanking Abandonment Feared. NANKING, October 9 (#).—Chinese | military leaders today interpreted the proclamation of Gen. Iwane Matsui, | Japanese commander in chief at Shanghai, as a warning the Japanese plan an immediate, powerful offen- sive on the Shanghai front. They said the result uitimately may force the abangonment of Nanking as Chinajs capital. *OTHER WOMAN’ IN COURT IN SLAYING OF HUSBAND Attorneys to Make Summation Today—Ex-Secretary Claims to Be “Completely Vindicated.” By the Associated Press ¥ PADUCAH, Ky., October 9.—The %other woman” having had her day in court, attorneys were allotted six hours for summation today in the murder case of Mrs. Gladys Stem- bridge Adams, 38, charged with the #laying of her husband, Attorney Ben 6. Adams, on July 15, 1936. Mrs. Alta Nanney, middle-aged for- mer secretary of the slain attorney, took the stand yesterday to deny charges of misconduct with Adams made previously by the attorney's widow, She was not cross-examined and the commonwealth, at the completion of her testimony, claimed she had been “completely vindicated.” Mrs. Adams has admitted shooting her husband during a heated argu- ment in his office, during which, she said, he beat her and she seized a pistol from an open desk drawer, fear- $ng he would kill her. The commonwealth indicated ii would not ask the death penalty, but would seek a voluntary manslaughter werdict. California Leads N. L. in Autos.

Schuschnigg Spurns Anti-Communist War In Appeal for Peace By Radio to The Star. VIENNA, Austria, October 9.— Vienna today is entirely under the spell of last night's “pocket Nuremberg” of the Fatherland Front, at which congress 100,000 members of Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg's local followers participated. Dr. Schuschnigg's speech was characterized by a declaration which amounted almost to an Austrian neutrality policy in case of war, and a refusal to co- operate in the anti-Communist front. This decision was un- doubtedly prompted by the latest more active policy of the United States in international affairs. Schuschnigg said: “Our duty is to keep our coun- try out of entanglements and to see that, through the mobiliza- tion of all our forces and through the will to defend our homes, we shall maintain peace as much within as without our country.” (Copyright. 1937.) [TALIANS ANSWER CONFERENCE BID Reply to Three-Power Talk Invitation Handed to Paris and London. BACKGROUND— Breakdown of non-intervention scheme put into eflect 13 months ago to keep the Spanish civil war in Spain led Britain and France to demand a week ago in an invitation to a three-power parley that Italy withdraw her troops from Spain, where they are fighting for Gen. Francisco Franco. Reopening of French border to arms and volun- teers for Loyalist forces threatened. Rome slow in replying. By the Associated Press. ROME, October 9.—Italy's reply to the French and British invitation to three-power talks on intervention in Spain was handed today to the en- voys of those two governments. Official sources gave no indications of the contents of the note, which were to be made public after the two gov- ernments had an opportunity to read it The speech of British Prime Min- ister Neville Chamberlain last night at Scarborough, England, was received with “great interest,” it was said. (Chamberlain’s address was gen- erally regarded by London observ- ers as containing a last-minute overture to gain Italy’s co-opera- tion with Anglo-French moves to rid Spain of foreign soldiery.) Although informecd quarters be- lieved the Italian reply had been de- | layed until after Chambedain’s speech, an informed source said he did not know what effect it had on Premier Mussolini's response. SPAIN ACCUSES ITALY. Charges Gas Attacks Planned to Assist Insurgents, LONDON, October 9 (#)—The | Spanish government today accused Italy of planning an unprecedented | campaign in support of the Spanish insurgent cause. At the same time Italy’s answer to the Anglo-French invitation to con- fer on withdrawal of foreign volunteers from the Spanish civil war was de- livered to the French and British en- voys in Rome. British authorities here did not disclose its contents im- mediately. Parisian sources, h CAUSE s f jRome’s Assurances Reported Given in Tokio. CONDEMNATION REPLY IS MILD | Answer to League and U. S. Causes Surprise. BACKGROUND— Speech by President Roosevelt at Chicago Tuesday called for united Jront of peace-loving nations against aggression and League sub- sequently voted to authorize convo- cation of conference of nine power treaty signatories, but initiative Jor calling of parley has been lacking. United States has definitely de- clared it will attend such a con- Jerence, but insists that the first Step come from some other nation. E3 the Associated Press. TQOKIO, October 9.—The Domei (Japanese) News Agency reported to- day that Italian Ambassador Giacinto Auriti assured Kerwuke Horniouchi, Japanese vice minister of foreign af- fairs, that Italy approves Japan's| measures in China and “will never Spare general support to Japan.” The Italian Embassy declined to make any comment to the Associated Press on the report. Domei said Auriti gave his assur- ances to Horniouchi in a formal visit and authorized the vice minister to convey the Italian stand to the whole nation. Tone of Answer Surprising. Meanwhile, authoritative Japanese sources expressed surprise over the mildness of a foreign office answer to League of Nations and United States condemnation of Japan as an invader in China, “Something,” they said, changed the government's attitude within 12 hours, The foreign office statement dis- claimed any territorial ambitions for Japan and accused China of aggression by provocative acts, among them plans to murder 30,000 Japanese, including women and children, on Chinese soil. Separate Statements Ready. The Associated Press learned from a reliable source that the original plan was to comment separately on the United States and League of Nations actions. Separate statements were said to have been ready for release Friday night. This plan, this source said, was abandoned at the eleventh hour for the answer announced today, and no rea- son was given for the change. The Japanese press made no com- ment immediately on the foreign of- fice statement. Its tone toward the United States, however, suddenly be- came much milder. Newspapers were inclining more to view President Roosevelt's Chicago peace speech as aimed for home consumption “and to take the people’s minds off the Black Ku Klux Klan controversy and the slumping stock market.” The foreign office declared that China, violating anti-war treaties, | Was endangering world peace and that Japanese resort to arms was entirely for “self-defense.” “The League of Nations regards Japan’s action in China as violation of the nine-power treaty and the anti-war pact,” the note said. “The United States State Department pub- lished a statement to the same effect. Japan's Aims Understood. ROME, October 9 (#).—An official said today the Italian government viewed developments in the Far East with “complete comprehension” of the aims of the Japanese. The official said he did not know the details of the conversation between the Itallan Ambassador at Tokio and the Japanese foreign office, but that it must have been based on “harmony of viewpoint.” Summary of Page.

Page A-6 TOQUSTER STAND Tension Heightened by Pro- tests Against Seating President Howard. DISCLAIM INTENTION OF VOLUNTARY BREAK Statistics Chief of I. T. U. Charges “Deliberate” Attempt Due to C. I. 0. Post. BACKGROUND— Convinced of the merit of C. 1. O. principles and loyal to the leader- ship of John L. Lewis and the Committee for Industrial Organi- nation’s objectives, Charles P. Howard of the Typographical Union has been under fre from A.F. of L. Chief William Green for months. Whether the rank and file of the printers favors C. I. O. above the A. F. of L. is undetermined. B) the Associated Press. DENVER, October 9. —Increasing bitterness of American Federation of Labor leaders toward the C. I. O. brought an assertion today the fed- eration is trying to expel one of its oldest and largest affiliates—the In- ternational Typographical Union. Tension between the federation and the printers was heightened when pro- tests against seating of Charles P. Howard, who is both president of the Typos and C. 1. O. secretary, as a delegate brought heated but futile complaints from other 1. T. U. leaders. The printers, disclalming any in- tention of withdrawing, intimated they may attempt to force upon the federa- tion a forthright decision on expulsion of the union. Called Deliberate Attempt. William R. Trotter, chief of statis- tics of the printers’ union office in | Indianapolis, charged the move against seating Howard was a deliberate at- tempt to force the union out of the federation. “We are being euchred into a posi- tion where several of the A. F. of L. leaders hope we will withdraw,” Trot- ter said after he had failed repeatedly to bring immediate action from the convention’s Credentials Committee on seating Howard. “We do not care to be bounced around like that by a few A. F. of L. leaders who want to see the Typos out. “If they want to throw us out, that is a different matter, if they do it formally. But we don't intend to be euchred into the humiliation of with- drawal.” Howard himself indicated he hopes to force the federation into the first move in any definite rift when he de- clared he intends to remain in Denver “‘at least until after Monday night.” Right te Seat Challenged. The convention’s Credentials Com- mittee had announced a hearing on Howard’s case Monday. His right to a Seat was challenged by the carpen- ters, who charged he promoted “dual unionism” by signing a C. I. O. char- ter for Pacific Coast lumbermen. There was no direct announcement whether Howard would depart later to meet John L. Lewis at a C. 1. O. con- vention in Atlantic City next week. Howard had remarked earlier “I usual- ly take a vacation at Atlantic' City about this time of year.” Max Zaritsky, president of the hat, cap and millinery workers, whose po- sition is similar to Howard’s, failed to come to the convention, though his union sent a delegation. He, like Howard, has openly espoused the C. I. O., but his union, like the printers, has not been suspended from the federa- tion. With the convention in recess until Monday, William Green, A. F. of L. president, laid plans to battle the C. 1. O. for control of a new field of or- ganized labor—the ‘“‘white collar” workers. Summoned to confer with the pres- ident were heads of federation-spon-~ sored local unions of clerks, stenog- raphers, bookkeepers, accountants, and other office workers. Green said they would form a national council as a preliminary to organizing a national union. The C. I. O. already has a na- tional “white collar” union. The evident intention of the print- ers to force the Howard fssue devel- oped after Green summarily ruled two of their delegation “out of order” when they objected to the delay in hearing Howard's case. Green broke his gavel yesterday ss he pounded lustily to stop Jack Gill, & Typographical Union delegate, from making & motion to have Howard's case made a special order of business. Shortly before, Trotter accused the Credentlals Committee of giving How- ard and the printers “the run- around” His assertion drew a re- buke from Green. E. D. Van Deleur, secretary of the California Labor Federation, told the convention the A, F, of L. may lose out to C, 1. O, unions not only along the Pacific water front, but in West- ern lumber, transportation and other industries unless it immediately finances & campaign to ocombat its rivals, Wage Siash Legislation Plan, Senator George L. Berry, Democrat, of Tennessee, president of the Print- ing Pressmen’s Union, told the con- vention he plans “in due time” to draft legislation to stop wage slash- ing and other labor abuses without creating additional Government bu- reaus or interfering with collective bargsining by the workers themselves. Berry, one time head of a Federal committee for industrial co-opera- tion, asserted he was “pretty well fed up on bureaus in Washington to reg- ulate wages, hours and business.” 8ol Rosenblatt of New York, labor disputes arbiter for the cloak and suit industry, warned the convention that lsbor must be prepared to accept ita responsibilities by keeping its con- e SATURDAY, OCTOBER 9, 1937—FORTY-F RUSSIA T0 PLAGE HUGE NAVY ORDERS Agent Authorized to Spend $50,000,000 for Arms in United States. B3 the Associated Pross. NEW YORK, October 9—The So- viet governent, engaged in Europe's headlong armaments race, has au- thorized commercial agents here to purchase $50,000,000 worth of naval equipment for export to Russia in the immediate future, it was disclosed today. Morris Wolf, counsel for the Carp Export & Import Corp, of New York, which is negotiating the huge deal, said the war material will con- sist of pre-fabricated parts of battle- ships and other types of fighting craft—turrets, armor plate, propelling machinery, boilers and engines, and 16-inch naval guns. The corporation is the special muni- tions purchasing organization for the Soviet government, he said, and is headed by Samuel Carp of Bridgeport, Conn., a banker and oil industrialist. Carp, an American citizen, is a brother-in-law of Premier V. M. Molotoff of Russia. $10,000,000 Licensed Already. The State Department's September report of licenses issued for the export of arms, munitions and implements of war showed Russia was licensed to take out more than $10,000,000 worth of war material in the initial install- ment of the $50,000,000 order. The licenses included $2,250,000 for guns, $1,500,000 for ammunition and $1,- 000,000 for explosives. Contracts for the $10,000,000 order, it was stated, were still in the stage of being negotiated. The initial out- lay will be largely for testing purposes, with the $40,000,000 balance of the order to follow if the first lot proves up to standard in tests on Soviet ter- ritory. “The Soviet government,” said a spokesman, “is sold on American technique, American methods and American material. Even the houses in Russian cities | /¢ now being constructed on Amer- ican home-construction lines. Building Powerful Navy. “The Soviet government is now in process of building & powerful navy, and naturally is turning to the United States for its equipment. There has been some delay over the 16-inch guns for battleships because of the in- ability of the manufacturers to obtain proving grounds here for testing the guns before shipment across the At- lantic. The Soviet,” he added, “has been loath to order a large number of the guns before full knowledge of their performance.” ‘The new $50,000,000 order follows reports of several months ago that the Soviet government was attempting to purchase two or three battleships con- structed in this country at a cost of $150,000,000 to $200,000,000. Difficulties in arranging the deal, it was stated, have led the Russian gov- ernment to have much of the ships’ equipment fabricated here and then shipped to the U, 8. 8. R, for as- sembling. JURY IN SECLUSION IN OIL TRUST CASE “We're Only Scratching the Sur- face,” Says Judge, Preparing for Long Trial, By the Associated Press. MADISON, Wis,, October 9.—A Fed- eral Court jury trying 23 ofl com- panies, 3 trade publications and 46 individuals on charges of conspiring to raise and fix wholesale gasoline prices was locked up today for the first of what may be a long series of week ends, Federal Judge Patrick T. Stone, re ceasing court late yesterday until’Mon- day, said at the conclusion of the first week of the trial, “We're only scratch- ing the surface.” Court observers es- timated the case will last three or four months. .

NOTE THREAT LAID TOCIRCLE SLAYER Police Believe Message Say- ing “l Will Kill Again” Is Genuine. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, October 9.—A cryptic message received by police—pur- portedly from the phantom “scarlet circle” slayer of Lewis Weiss, 20, and his 19-year-old sweetheart, Frances Hajek—was quoted today as threaten- ing: “I will kill again.” Deputy Chief Inspector John J. Ryan, while withholding further de- tails of the message, indicated his be- lief it was genuine and from the ap- parently maniacal slayer himself. Inspector Ryan immediately ordered 137 policemen shifted to emergency duty for night patrol in the vicinity of the lonely Hollis Woodlands, near Queens Village, Long Island, where the bullet-pierced bodies of the young wovers were discovered by a stroller last Sunday afternoon, slumped in the front seat of Weiss' parked car. The “kill again” message, Ryan indicated, showed enough inside knowledge of the double slaying to convince him that the killed plans to emulate the feats of the never-cap- tured “3-X" murderer of seven years 280, who preyed on woodland spooners and killed two men in parked cars with their sweethearts. In this connection, it was recalled that “3-X” as he signed himself in letters to newspapers warning that he was about to strike again, worked on a weekly schedule in carrying out his will-o’-wisp program of terror. Since it was. just 8 week ago tonight that the “Scarlet Circle” slayer struck, leaving the foreheads of his two youthful victims daubed with a crudely drawn circle of lipstick, In- spector Ryan heavily reinforced the patrol squads which have been scour- ing the vicinity during the past week. EQUALITY PLEDGED STRIKERS IN MINE Company Agrees to Sign Contract if They Will End Sit-Down. By the Associated Press. LANSPORD, Pa, October 9.—The surface delegates of 38 striking miners who have occupied the eighth level of the Coldale colliery 1,300 feet under- ground since Tuesday, reported to the miners today that the compeny will sign an agreement giving them pay equal to miners on other levels if they will come up. Evan Stevens. chairman of the General Mine Committee of nine | locals of the United Mine Workers, announced the company’s offer at s mass meeting of 3,000 miners of the Lehigh Navigation Coal Co. Evan Evans, labor adjustor for the company, agreed to give the eighth level miners the same working condi- tions and pay as the miners on other levels, Stevens said. The committee carried the proposal to the self-imprisoned miners after the mass meeting. The sit-downers asked last night that there be no discrimination against them, and that the company pay the same wages for the loading of “free coal” as for the regularly mined coal. “Free coal” is that which has broken loose and fallen into the tunnel with- out drilling and blasting. A wife of one of the sit-downers rose briefly during the mass meeting and shouted: “We want our men back—but they won't come up until that agreement s signed.” Several speakers discussed spreading the strike to include engineers, pump workers and office workers. All the miners of the Lehigh, numbering 7,500, went on strike yesterday in sympathy. AUTO SPEED TEST DUD AS CAR STAYS IN ‘LOW’ By the Associated Press. BONNEVILLE SALT FLATS, Utah, October 9.—The world’s most powerful racing car—Capt. Georgd E. T. Eyston's streamlined Thunderbolt— roared a speed symphony from ex- hausts of its 24-cylinder motor today, but the wheels turned no faster than those of a light truck. Eyston couldn’t get the seven-ton speed monster out of low gear. Me- chanics said they believed a high spot on one of the gears prevented the shifting. Until yesterday the car in which Eyston hopes to break Sir Malcolm Campbell's land speed merk of 301.12 miles an hour for the running mile never had been driven. The quiet, 40-year-old Englishman believes the silver juggernaut will go at “least 310 miles an hour.” “I think I'll be ready to go after 8ir Malcolm’s record the week of Oc- tober 17,” Eyston said. —_— Wounded Envoy in Philippines.

NEW YORK, October 9.—The end the trail loomed today for the triumphant Yankees, the weary Giants |and all base ball. | Leading, three victories to none, Joe McCarthy's Bronx Bombers again moved into the Polo Grounds to try | to put the clincher on the 1937 world According to this morning’s odds the American Leaguers were ;henvxly favored to end it, too. | In one last desperate bid to prolong | the series, Manager Bill Terry of the | Giants beckoned to tall. lean Carl Hubbell, who was beaten in the open- ing game by 8 to 1. In the first game Hub pitched magnificently for five in- nings, but cracked in the sixth. Today he was to pitch on only two full days of rest. McCarthy and the Yankees, on the other hand, found themselves in a ‘position to gamble today. Bump Had- ley, one of the lesser lights of the Yankee mound corps, was nominated to pitch by McCarthy, and if the Bumper should fail the Yankees to- morrow may be able to put the clinch on the set by pitching Lefty Gomez in reguiar-season turn. Hadley Won Game in 1936. Hadley pitched one game in the 1936 series and did a surprisingly beautiful job. He drew fat Freddie Fitzsimmons in the fourth game of last Fall's series and, although Fitzsimmons pitched the best game of the set, Hadley won a 2-to-1 victory. Bump was not as good as Fitz, but he won the game and in a low-scoring duel such as that he had to be something more than inadequate. Terry doggedly stuck to his original line-up despite the widespread belief that he should gamble. Many critics think he especially should insert First Baseman Sambo Leslie instead of Johnny McCarthy in an effort to inject a stronger measure of batting punch in the middle of the order. Harry Danning, the big catcher who debutted yesterday as the Yankees won a 5-to-1 decision over Hal Schumacher, again was to be behind the plate. Gus Mancuso, the veteran who has done most of the Giant’s backstopping for the last few years, took his sore finger to the hospital yesterday and had it X-rayed. It was disclosed the digit was broken. It is the small finger on his right hand and it was hurt near the end of the second game. Ideal Foot Ball Day, Today dawned clear and cool again and it was another ideal foot ball day. In fact, foot ball was in the air as much as the series here. Interest in base ball reached a new low and it was believed that no more than 25,000 spectators would watch this fourth game of the series. Attendance has tailed off steadily since the opening day, when 61,000 thronged into Yankee Stadium. The second game drew approximately 6,000 less and yesterday's crowd barely cleared the 37,000 mark. Giant patches of empty seats were found yesterday and today's vacant pews threatened to outnumber those. A comparatively skeleton bleacher line had formed this morning, waiting for the gates to open, and this was in tribute only to the great Hubbell. Scalpers were stuck with tickets, box and reserved grandstand, and were having difficulty selling them at regu- lar price. This has been a lean series for the scalpers. Only for the first game was there any demand for seats, and then Yankee Stadium was far from filled. Some even were selling $5.50 seats for $2 and glad to get it. 40 DEGREES .RECORDED AT 3:30 A.M.
