LONDON, August 27-The past few

ports Of border raids IN Manchuria,
which at one time appeared approach
ing the status Of open warfare, but
there were still no signs last night of any
approach to reopening negotiations on

Both China and Russia are showing

T. c. Wang, at Marking, in an inter-
view yesterday said his government res

vided for joint direction of the railway

Otherwise no fresh developments

HALL AND LAVARRE
! CONTRACTS DENIED
Neil C. Head of International
Il Company on Stand in
7 Paper Control Suit.
by the Associated Press.

by the Associated Press.
J MACON, Ga, August 27.-John A.
Park. publisher Of the Raleigh IN. c.
Times, has been in correspondence with
him relative to the status Of the papers
involved in the Hall-Lavarre suit. Neil
G. head of the international Paper Co.
testified today at the resumption OF the
hearing before Federal Judge Bascom
IS. Deaver.
Harold Hall Is suing for equal operat-
ing control with William Lavarre of
the Augusta (Ga.) Chronical the Co
lumbia Is. c. Record and the Spart-
anburg Is. CO. Herald and the Journal,
which were bought for $870,000 adj
Hanced by the International Paper Co.
Counsel for Lavarre had taken Head
over the list of papers which the Inter-
national Paper Co. had helped to finance
and had asked him II he had had cor
respondence up to within two days of
this trial relative to sale of the four pa
pers under discussion.
Replying in the affirmative, Head said
he had received letters from Park about
the matter. He brought out that the
letters were preliminary only.
Questioned About Company.
Head had been questioned about the
organization of the International Paper
e. Power Co. and he had placed 1t in
1928. after the company had decided on
its newspaper financing program.
A. B. Lovett of Savannah, Lavarre's
attorney, examined Head infinitely re-
garding stock control of the Boston
Herald and Traveller. Head said the
stock had been put in voting trust.
Attorney Lovett insisted the 1nterna-
tional Paper & Power Co. could have
controlled the editorial policy If it so
desired.
Head testified that the paper COM
pany had made no outlay to newspa-
pers, with the exception of $500 to
the Augusta Chronicle, since this litiga-
ton and the Federal Trade Commission
hearing.
He Said, however, that $1,000 had
been advanced to Hall 10 days ago,
after Hall had paid on Augusta Chroni-
Gle notes. AS to the $500 advanced to
Hall earlier as option for a Greensboro,
N. c., paper, which never was pur-
chased, Head said Hall had accounted
to him for that money. It was not used
in this litigation, he said.
The paper company did not promise
Hall any money. assistance or position
in the future, Head said on questioning
from Lovett.
Questioned as to the secrecy sur
sounding the framing of an agreement
with Hall and Lavarre, Head said desire
for secrecy played part, but That he
expected that such q contract would be
made public sooner or later" No con-
tract ever was signed with the men, he
added.
