Wall St. Government
Warns Of Russian
Menace
HARDIN TELLS LIES
Stirs Up Propaganda In
War Move

While the Japanese imperialists are
sending more troops into Manchuria
and are broadcasting rumors Of Soviet
troops being moved into that zone, the
Hoover oo------''----'t is informing the
~~-..' "e,3 Got it is watching
the whole situation with some evt-
dence of disquiet." The Hoover gov
eminent has given out as part OF its
unofficial" information to the cap
italist press the "crystalization Of the
Russian menace" in Manchuria. The
New York Times carries this "unof-
ficiar' information as follows:
"Tt was interpreted that there
had been some crystalization of the
Russian menace which has always
doomed In the background Of the
Manchurian crisis between Japan
and China, probably precipitated
by some movement Of Japanese
troops In Manchuria toward Mon
golia-"
The Times then continues the un-
dercover attack on the Soviet Union
with the information from Washing
ton that the Christian" General
Feng Yu-hsiang has large force OF
troops in Magnolia, that it would be
regarded as significant should
any movement be made by him to-
ward the Manchurian border" The
Times adds that any move that he
makes will be as the result of sup
port of the Soviet Union.
Ellis officers are largely Russians,
with some Germans, and he Is so
situated that the necessary sup
plies for any campaign he might
undertake at present would have to
come from Russia"
This entire information" from
Washington is part Of the Hoover
preparations for the attack on the
Soviet Union.
While the capitalist press repeats
the rumors of the japanese and
United States imperialists that the
Soviet Union is supplying Chinese
troops with munitions and Is con-
centrating more troops on the border
it is forced to admit that these ru-
mors have no bans in fact and
originate directly in Hardin the cen
ter of the counter Revolutionary white
guard elements. The Times admits
this in the following cable from
Toxic:
1.-The White Russians doubtless
intends to protect those interests
themselves, but despite sensational
rumo-s from Hardin, which Is not
known to be a fountain Of truth
in times of excitement, there Is no
reason to believe the Russians are
: aiding the Chinese or to expect a
clash between Japanese and Rus
SLAMS"
The rumors and information
from Hardin, Toxic and Washington
have a single aim-to prepare the
attack on the Soviet Union, and to
cover the sending OF thousands Of
additional Japanese troops into Man
churia for this attack, for the re-
division of China and to crush the
Soviets of the Chinese masses.

FORMER BASEMEN
NOW STARRING In
TWO OUTFIELDS
BY HENRY McLEM0RE
United Press Staff Correspondent


NEW YORK. July :. U.P)-New
York City's baseball followers are
spending most of their idle moments
these days talking about the mag
nificent outfield performances of a
couple of converted infielders. Up
Yankee Stadium way the boys and
gals will tell you that Ben Chap
man, who spent most of his baseball
days around second base. is one of
the greatest outfielders in the AM
erican League and soon will be in a
class by himself.
Walk from the stadium to Coo
gan's Bluff, where lie the polo
grounds, and you won't hear so
much about Chapman. but your
ears will ring with the praises of
Freddie Lindstrom, for many years
the Giants regular third baseman,
but now out there in rightfield pull
ing down flies.
And all this talk is not the ma
larkey. either, for Chapman and
Lindstrofn really are doing superb
work. Before moving into the out
field Lindstrom was, with the pos
siple exception of Pie Traynor Of
Pittsburgh, the finest third base
man in baseball When John Nc
Graw, at the beginning of spring
training. announced his intentions

around the polo grounds will tell

His fielding, while not as polished
as that of some veteran outfielders,
is capable, and is improving with

is hitting at a faster clip than when
he was an infielder, and his base

Juniors Discuss
Land At Laguna

Possibility of setting aside tract
at Laguna Mountains for the con-
venience only of Imperial Valley
people was discussed by members
of the El Centro Junior Chamber
of Commerce this morning.
President Russell Lewis appointed
a committee composed of Nick Hig-
genbotham, Harry Sones and Clar-
ence Smi.a TO take the matter up
with L. K. Anderson, San Diego
county supervisor.
Under the plan advanced a GER
tain tract would be set aside for
summer cottages of valley people,
and a club house constructed for
the tract. Since the property may
be leased from the government for
a small sum each year, the plan
was seeh as practical.
Several other matters came in
for discussion at this mornings
meeting.
Harry Sones made belated re-
port on his attendance at the Des
MoineS convention of the United

merce. Among other matters dis
cussed were changing of the con-
