YOUTH ADMITS
FRAUD TO ENTER
NAVAL ACADEMY

WASHINGTON, July 10. U.H -
Henry s. Rupp, 10, son of a wealthy
Long Beach, Calf, business man
and David Schooler, 10, of Washing
ton, were to appear before United
States commissioner today in con-
nection with what naval officers
charge appeared to be a conspiracy
to perpetrate fraud in naval
academy examination.
Rupp apparently failed to pass
the Annapolis tests because of faulty
eyesight He admitted, according to
naval Officers, that he came to
Washington, obtained permission to
take another test here and employed
Sehooler from an employment
agency to substitute for him in the
examination.
Becoming suspicious after School
er had passed with such an excellent
grade the naval officers questioned
him and he admitted his part in the
incident. Later Rupp was arrested
and confessed he had employed
Schooler, authorities said.
He explained he was motivated by
desire to become naval officer.

NANKINC FACTION
GROWING WEAKER
PAPER DECLARES

SHANGHAI, July 10. U.R)-
While Chang Kai-Shek, chief exc
cutive of the Nationalist govern
ment was avoided a costly war by
his financial settlement with Gen
eral Feng Yu-Hsiang, the north
China Daily News, the leading
British publication in China, be-
ieves the Nationalists have lost
ground in north China.
Feng first threatened war
against the government and later
announced he was leaving the coun-
try. Fearing that his troops might
get out of control if he left with
their pay in arrears, the govern
ment gave him $1,500,000.
Now according to the editorial in
which the paper reviews the situa-
tion, Feng intends to remain in
China and is apparently in 4
stronger position than before.
The editorial makes it clear the
government is not endangered but
says Nanking's authority is de-
cidedly weakened north of the
Yangtze river.
