 In a confessio0n made ste deputy Unied States nIarshals at Fairbanks, John E. McMasters, 23, alias w. R. Terrant, alias George Lefthi revealed himself as the burglar whs during 8 few days previous had entered a num- Der of Fairbanks homes and stolen many valuable bojects, principally jewelry.
 Although he denied at first all knowledge of the crimes after having been called into the marshaPs office for questioning, McAasters finally broke down under barrage of rapid fire questions and confessed he was responsible for all but one of the burglaries and robberies of which he was suspected.
 At the same time he told officers that he has long prison record and is now . parole prisoner from Folsom penitentiary in California. Practically everything he had stol- en was found in McMaster's posses sion at the time of his arrest. So re- cent were the robberies that at least one of the victims did not know he had lest anything and only realized 1t when he was asked to identify some of he loot taken from McMas- ters.
 Issuance of two checks in the total sum of $160 was also charged against him. Made out for $l00 and $50, these checks were cashed for McMas- ters by .a taxi driver. The checks were made out to cash and the name of George Lefthi was used in signing them. The taxi driver learned that no such person had an account when he pressnted the checks 1t the bank for payment.

Held Adequate Now, With
8,4O0 Electives.

By the Associated Press.
American naval forces in China will
not be augmente for the present, but
should Communist depredations spread
the danger to American lives and prop
erty the attachments probably will be
speedily increased.
A careful consideration of the situa-
ton caused by the increased Communist
and bandit activities in the provinces
OF Hupeh, Human, Honan and Kiangsi
led officers in charge of the Asiatic
squadron to conclude the present naval
force there adequate. Secretary Adams
concurred in their decision for the
present.
Ask All to Leave.
Meanwhile cables to the State Depart
ment report continued efforts by Ameri-
can diplomatic and consular officers to
obtain the withdrawal of Americans
living in remote spots where protection
is not available. A general warning was
sent out early in July bv Richard P.
Butrick, American consul at Hankow,
and new llrgings have just been ordered
ReassurRnces came that except for
two men who refused to leave, all
Americans were out OF ChangSha,
capital of Human, where the Com
munists have been seeking foreigners
to hold for ransom and have engaged
in wholesale footing and burning. No
word was obtainable. however, of the
fate of the two who remained, William
Lingle of Salisbury, N. c., and Allen
Cameron, Lawrence, Kans.
Force Totals S,4oo.
The entire Asiatic force of the Navy
consists of 5000 sailors and 2.400
Marines in Shanghai, 500 at Peiping,
while $50 more stationed at Guam could
be conveyed to China on short notice.
A considerable number of the sailors
are on the patrol boats which operate
on the rivers of China's interior, and
969 are at Tsingtao aboard the cruiser
Pittsburgh. The remainder man Is
destroyers, II submarines and dozen
auxiliary craft which operate out of
the Philippine Islands base. Twenty
eight airplanes are with the fleet.

Commentator of the recent action
of Prohibition Commissioner Amos w.
w. Woodcock in suspending two prohi-
bition agents who recently stopped a
motorist in the middle of the night
without due cause is contained in a
letter addressed to the commissioner
by Thomas p. Henry, president of the
American Automobile Association, made
public today.
Charging that "there have been too
many instances where the use of hair
trigger methods have resulted IN the
death of law-abiding citizens, the head
of the A. A. A. declared that he hold
ing of prohibition agents to strict &C
countability for interference with in
nocent users of the road would restore
"a much needed mea sure OF confidence
among the millions of motorists, who in
these days of crowded highways, use
the roads more and more at night

cause an automobile in which citizen

lawful business.
THE American Automobile Associa-
ton, representing the organized car
owners OF America, has consistently
and persistently maintained that the
exigencies of law enforcement per sc
cannot be permitted to abrogate the
rights of innocent users of the COM
mon highway.
There have been far too many in
stances where the use of hair trigger
methods has resulted in the death of
law-abiding citizens and in endanger-
ing the lives and outraging the rights
of others.
VIII Aid Cooperation.
1.-The prompt action you took in the
recent incident, while in no sense an
assurance to law violators and
racketeers, is calculated to promote q
very much needed measure of confidence
among the millions of motorists, who
in these days of crowded highways, use
the roads more and more at night
time.
Such a policy will inevitably result
in larger measure Of cooperation be-
tween the overwhelming law-abiding
element of our population and our duly
