URGES RECOGNITION
Of CHINESE REGIME
Senator King Favors lmme-
date Action by U. S. To.
ward Nationalist.

The Nationalist government of China
should be granted immediate and full
recognition by the United states. Sena-
tor King, Democrat Utah, member
Of the Senate foreign relations commit
tee. declared In a statement last night,
Recognition would be helpful and
would signify to the world that this
country has confidence in the present
governing power in China and believed
that it was seeking the peace and hap
piness of the Chinese people. Mr.. King
said. He voiced the opinion that recog-
milton by this country of the Nationalist
government would do much to stabilize
conditions in China and to nuiiify
communistic activities.
The American people have always
felt q deep interest in the Chinese peo-
pie and have upon many occasions ex-
hihited their friendship for that mighty
PEOPLE" he said.
The present relations between the
United States and the Nationalist gov
eminent are tantamount to de faeto
recocnition, Senator King explained, but
he asserted that "the Communists OF
Russia have attempted to arouse the
preiudices of the Chinese against ali
other countries and have claimed that
the Bolshevik government alone was
the friend Of China. There are Stili
communistic groups in China ana they
are attempting TO SOW the SeeoS OF
aiscord and TO prevent the development
of amity and good will between China
and the United states and European
countries"

EQUALIZED RATES ASKED.

Equalization Of freight rates through
the port of Boston with rates now in
effect through Philadelphia and Cana
dian ports is asked of the United States
Shipping Board by the Maritime Asso-
citation of the Boston Chamber of Com
merce in a petition filed yesterday,
Although the Shipping Board has no
authority over ocean rates other than
on ships operated by the Emergency
Fleet Corporation, the petition asks
that the board either by orders to It's
own ships handling carsoes to and
from Boston. or by other means 1t may
deem wise. make such rates as would
nut Boston on a parity with the other
ports. With this done, 1t Is thought
that other ocean lines would meet rates
placed in effect on Government vessels.

SOLDIER OF FORTUNE
 m, MAY LEAD ALBANTANS

N. 4r
 PRAGUE, Czecho-S -Slovakia, April 17-Maj. Gen. Gajda, once com mander-in-chief of the Russian White Forces on the eastern Si- berian front and lately deputy chief of staff of the Czecho-Slovak army, has been degraded by a military court to the rank of a common soldier.
 Behind this announcement is q story of romance, intrigue, treach- cry and daring seldom equalled in military annals by soldiers of for tune.
 Born in a little Moravian town, Gajda, whose real name is Ru- dolf Geidel, began life as drug gist's boy. When the World war came he enlisted in the field hos pital service of the Austro-Hun- garian army. Later he deserted in Montenegro and joined the en- emy, representing himself as a Captain. He next appeared as an army surgeon in Russia, where he married the daughter of Admiral Kolchak, head of the anti-Bolshe- vist forces. He later joined the Czecho-Slovak legionary troops as self-appointed general and fought the Bolsheviks or the east ern Siberian front.
 In September, 1918, scarcely 20, .Gajda became commander-in-chief on the eastern Russian front But he quarreled with his father-in- law, and is alleged to have "sold" the latter to the Bolsheviks, who shot the admiral for opposing the Red forces. After an abortiye at tempt at coup d'etat at Vladi- vostok, Gajde. was put on a ship and sent to Europe. Arriving in Prague, he determined to play a big role in Czecho-Slovakia. | He became military commander of Slovakian garrison and in 1926 was made deputy chief of staff of the Czecho tSlovak army. Believing he could initiate Ma poleon's career, he surrounded himself with politicians and plan ned military coup d'etat in his own country. Just about that time the Czech government learn ed that .Gajda had "sold" himself to the Soviet authorities. He is said to have given the Bolsheviks secret French military. plans and Ito have offered his services to the
 Rcd army, Faced with court martial, he resigned from the | Czecho-Slovak army and created a fascismo force of which he made himself the head. At fascist meeting communists attacked him
 and he saved himself only by flight
 I Meanwhile the sentence of deg
 radiation from the rank of general
 was pronounced by military
 court and confirmed by the ap | pellate court.

POSTOFFTCE INSPECTORS STOP
 LOSSES FROM MAIL ROBBERIES

WASHINGTON, April 17-The mail robbing business is in the doldrums.
 Efficiency of United States postoffice inspectors in running down mail robbers has resulted in marked reduction in that class of crime, says Grant B. Mil Ter, chief inspector, whose fig ures show a rapid decline in the amount stolen in major mail rob- berries in the last five years.
 There has been but one major mail robbery since October, 1926. Postal officials attribute this un- usual record to the efficiency and tenacity of inspectors in running down offenders.
 That the mail bandit has little chance of getting away with his freedom or his loot is indicated in figures showing that of the 50 major robberies committed in the last five years, only in a single case has there been no arrest or conviction In the 50 robberies there were 195 arrests and TOT convictions. The excess of arrests over convictions reflects a number of cases where robbers with pre-. vious records were turned over to state authorities for conviction.
 The amount of loot during the period has declined from about $2,500000 during the year ending in June, 1924, to less than $70O,- 900 for the year ending in June, 1927. Of the latter amount near ly $45C,000 has been recovered.
 The, ingenuity of postal inspec. tors in running down clues was demonstrated in the southwest, where continued rifling of regis tered letters and packages was finally narrowed down to one of six DOS toffices. va
The Daily Alaska empire., 1928-04-17

The task of learning in which of the six offices the thefts oc- cured was difficult All of the letters opened had been resealed The inspector hit upon a plan which he put into practice secret ly. A few weeks later he was handed a letter that had been opened and rifled. He held it to his nose, smiled and announced that the thief would be apprehend- ed within a week. He had pre- pared six lots of mucilage, each perfumed with a different odor- lilac, violet miginette and so on. These were distributed among the six offices, and, as expected, the thief made use of it in resealing the rifled letters.

PEASANT WOMAN ACTIVE IN SOVIET POLITICS

MOSCOW-Russian peasant wo. men are taking an increasingly large share in political activities. says Tass, the Russian official! news agency, in summing up data on their participation in soviet elections.

 Twelve percent of the members of the communist party are wo- men.
 There is a noticeable growth also in the nnmber of women in industrial work and a reduction in the number of illiterate women, more than 622,000 having been taught to read and write since 1922.
