feet. if any, that termination by the
United States of the smuggling con-
vention with Mexico will have on
the attitude of the American govern
mcnt toward lifting of the prcsiden
tial embargo on arms shipments into
the central American republic.
Even in the face of authoritative
information from the state depart

ficials has given no consideration to
the advisability Of lifting the embar-
go, the subject bobbcd up in infor.
NAL conversations. and press dis
patches from Mexico upon this point
were read with interest.
Emanating from Mexico City the
dispatches threw no positive light on
the situation. They said, however
that the decision Of the hington
government had given rise to the
question of whether this move would
be followed by the lifting Of the
arms embargo. Many think, one dis

Shanghai Is to be used by its Can
t0nese captors AS the base for
world revolution" A manifesto con-
tanning this familiar communist
phrase was issued today by the Can
tonese commander. Pal Tsung-Hsi.
Pal assured the foreign consular
officials, however, that he intended
to maintain order and he warned the
Chinese population that the lives and
property Of foreigners must be re-
spected.
With American marines assisting
the other foreign troops in holding
the barricade protecting the inter
national settlement, the situation to-
day appeared much easier.
Chinese shops began to open in the
native districts, indicating that the
reign Of terror which reached its
peak yesterday with unrestrained
looting, murder and incendiarism,
was over.
There was some firing in the
Chapel district, where small body
Of Shantungese held out against the
increasing weight Of the arriving
Cantonese soldiery.

H0UCK ARREST
SOUGHT AFTER
BODY is FOUND
Woman Missing Since De.
cember II Found Floating
in Potomac River Today

Washington. March 23.--(P)-After
finding a woman's body in the Poto-
mac river today, the Washington po-
authorities to take into custody for
investigation DR.. Knute Houck. form
erly q physician at St. Elizabcth's
hospital here whose wife disappeared
several months ago.
The police said the body had been
identified as that Of Mrs. Gladys
Houck by calling cards on her per-
son.
The woman had been missing from
her home here since December II.
DR.. Houck was found in an extremely
nervous condition at Hornell. N. Y,
two days later and brought back to
Washington where he was placed un-
der observation.
A Puxzling Case
The circumstances under which
Mrs. Houck disappeared provided the
Washington police with one of the
most puzzling cases they had ever
faced. For weeks, assisted from time
to time by police of dozen other
cities, the authorities s groped
through maze of clues in. an ef-
fort to establish whether she had
been killed. whether she had COM
mitted suicide or whether she was
alive and concealed somewhere.
Mrs. H0uck was last seen alive on
the night Of December II, when sew
cral doctors came over from St.
Elizabeth's hospital to call on her
and her husband who was then q
young member Of the hospitals
psychiatric staff.
Two days later Dr.. Houck was
found tramping around the streets
of Hornell. clothed in his under
wear. He was never able to throw
any light on his wife's disappearance.
although he had expressed confidence
derg0ing treatment both here and in
Baltimore, DR.. Houck went to Wis
consin to join his relatives. A small
child, left alone by the couple, was
taken in charge by Mrs. Houck's par
ents.
No Trace Of Foul Play
No charge has ever been placed
against The physician here. The con-
dition Of the body today was such
that it was difficult to determine
how death was caused.
A preliminary examination Of the
body showed no traces of foul play,
but an autopsy was ordered for later
in the day.
In addition to the calling cards,
which were in q purse still clutched
tightly IN the woman's hand, we'd
ding license also was found and y
wedding ring, bearing the initials

Detroit: March 23.-(P)--Elimina-
tion of approximately one-third Of
the 141 specific allegations of libel
in Aaron Sapiro's $1,0O0,OOO suit
against Henry Ford was determined
ON overnight.
They will be cut out in compliance

cient in many respects and too in
volved to be comprehended readily by
the average juror.

the minor allegations which could
be eliminated without hurting their

Reads From Back Numbers

Articles Which He Claims
Are Libelous-Chief Coun-
sci Gallagher Continues
Questioning

Detroit, March %. P)-Aaron
Sapiro took the floor as an attorney
today in his $l,000,000 libel suit
against, Henry Ford.
He was admitted to practice in the
federal district court in which the
case is being tried when it opened
10 days ago hut it was the first
time he had raised his voice. Previ-
ously he>hsd confined his courtroom
efforts to whispered conferences with
his chief of counsel, William Henry
Gallagher of, Detroit.
William J. Cameron, editor of the
Ford owned Dearborn Independent
in (which were printed articles al
legged to have .libeled Sapiro. was in
the witness chair for the fourth day
whex, Sapiro faced him.
There was no immediate clash be-
tween the plaintiff in the suit and
the man who yesterday assumed full
responsibility for the printing of
the articles.
Reads Articles From Paper
Instead SapirO, speaking in a well
modulated voice that held the close
attention Of the jurors, read from
back numbers Of the Dearborn lnde-
pendent, articles he asserted were
libelous.
Gallagher's voice was worn when
he first addressed the court today
after nearly full day Of reading and
argument yesterday.
The six women and six men OF the
jury closely looked Sapiro over from
the top Of his black haired head to
his black shoes as he faced them for
the first time. He is rather slight
Of stature and stretched to his full
height as he read an article mention
ing lotto Kahn, Bernard Barusch
down to Aaron Sapiro and lesser
Jews"
There was no trace of accent as
the former California ncwsboy read
Articles Injured His Work
Sapiro alleged that Dearborn Inde~
pendent articles naming him in con.
ncction with an alleged "interna-
tional ring of Jews seeking to dom
mate American agriculture" and &C.
cusing him Of trying to spread COM
munism and of unfair dealing with
the farmers, had injured his work
Of organizing farmers cooperative
organizations.
After he had finished with his
reading Sapiro sat down without in.
errogating Cameron.
Gallagher took up the questioning
and immediately ran into a lega
wranple which resulted in the jury
being sent out of the courtroom
This question was intended to pave
the way for the submission of let
ter from an unnamed person con
cerning the Independent articles
complained of by Sapiro.
Senator Reed argued the inadmis
sibility of unsworn. unverified docu
ments from a third person not party
to the suit at issue.
