vice director of the press bureau;
DR.. Leonardo Vitetti, disarmament
expert, and Alberto NoniS, the for
eign minister's private secretary.
Grand, who will spend six days
in Washington and four days in
New York, will stress the necessity
for a successful disarmament con-
ference. He will insist that there
nust be a reduction of the worlds
military establishments to guaran-
tee peace.
The thesis which Grandi will
present in Washington will be in
direct contrast to the French dis
armament thesis presented by Pre-
mier Pierre Laval. 1t will be more
in harmony with American ideas.
Laval stressed the demand of
France for guarantees of her ma
tional security prior to disarma-
ment, but Grandi will contend that
peace is dependent upon diSarma-
ment by the world powers.
1t was not believed that the prob
lem of revision of world war treaties
raised during the visit of Laval to
America-will be touched by the
italian foreign minister. The Ital-
ian government, however, will favor
modification of the Versailles treaty
if the issue is discussed.

favored searchlights, located several
hundred feet from the monument.
Experiments with both types
showed the searchlights to be un-
suited. Instead of concentrating on
the monument itself, their beams
extended across the road about the
monument grounds. Now food
lights, IN groups of five, will be
placed forty feet from each side of
the monument.
For years the only means of

Washington Monument is such that
hoodlights can not reach the top,
which veers off sharply to a point.
Hence two searchlights located on
nearby buildings will serve to keep
the monuments peak clearly visible.

RUSSIA, JAPAN
SECRET ALLIES,
OBSERVERS SAY
Talk of NipponeSe-S Soviet
War Is Not Being Taken
Seriously.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS
Scripps Howard Foreign Editor.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 6. - There
is reason to believe a secret agree
ment exists between Japan ano
Soviet Russia with regard to Man
churia, the writer learned in in
formed circles here today.
For that reason, talk Of a pos
sible war between the two coun-
tries over clashing interests in
North China is not taken seriously
at least for the time being.
At the time of the Russo-Chinese
conflict over the Chinese
Eastern Railway in 1929, the Jap
anese sat tight in South Man
churia while Soviet troops invaded
North Manchuria and routed the
forces of Young Marshall Chang
Tsueh-Liang.
Today, while Japanese divisions
are on the warpath in southern
Manchuria, Russian troops are re-
ported watchfully waiting along the
Manchu-Siberian border.
Each Has Own Sphere
All this, it is pointed out, is
strictly in line with what appears
to be an understanding between the
two powers. That is, each has its
own delimited sphere of influence
and has agreed not to interfere
with the other.
The Japanese zone and the Rus
sian zone, generally speaking, are
determined easily. They center
largely about two railway systems
shaped roughly like huge ct"
The top of the at" is the Chinese
Eastern Railway running from east
to west across North Manchuria.
Tt belongs jointly to Russia and
China.
In the middle of the stem of the
at" there is a city named Chang
chun. From the top of the ct"
TO Changchun is a branch line of
the Chinese Eastern. From Chang
chun to Port Arthur, at the bottom
of the ct" however, is the South
Manchurian Railway owned by
Japan.
From Changchun northward
therefore, is the Russian zone
From Changchun southwark is the
Japanese zone.
But here enters a complication
the very sort of complication of
which international strife is made,
and sometimes war.
Look on Line as Own
From a station on the South
Manchurian railway a little below
Changchun, upward past Taonan,
in Mongolia, to Tsitsihar, a station
on the Chinese Eastern, is a Chinese
owned railway, built with Japanese
money. The Chinese have not yet
paid for this railroad, and, until it
is paid for, the Japanese look on it
as practically theirs.
This means that the Japanese
are inclined to regard the territory
through which this road runs as a
Japanese zone. And as it touches,
and even crosses, the Russian zone
in and around Tsitsihar, there is
room for trouble. However, observ-
ers here are inclined to believe the
Japanese would not risk sending
troops into the Russian zone with
out an understanding with Moscow,
any more than Russia dared invade
Manchuria two years ago without
the sanction of Toxic, unless, of
course, Japan deliberately is looking
for trouble.

OYSTERS WERE
 DISCUSSED BY t,,, MANY EXPERTS
All Agreed the Oyster Was Pretty Much of a s'Sis- sic" = Change of Sex Also Commented On

Sayville. L. l., Aug 20.-(UP)-| Reversal on sex among oysters was discussed here to-day by a group of men who know their oysters as "spunkless, spineless fellows less intelligent than a showgirl."
 The 800 delegates to annual con- vention of the National Shell Fish, eris sociation spent all day yes- terday in scientific demonstrations and discussions. and some discus- sons not so scientific.
 The modern oyster, they agreed. is pretty much of a sissie, lacking in self reliance, and unable to put up much of a scrap against any of his natural enemies.
 Although the comment was not offered as an explanation of the bi- valves effeminate manners, one speaker later in the day observed:
 "In the American oyster. Ostrea Virginica. there has been observed only during the last year the fact that oysters are males during their first two years of existence and then become females"
 Another expert recounted indica- tions of race suicide among the oysters. Most of the good ones now are bred in oyster farms. 1t was indicated.
 Now they're using egg crates whose criss cross containers oner innumerable resting places for oyster eggs to encourage bredenis. And the oysters take to the egg crates like ducks to water the ex- perimenters here at Sayville re- ported. known oysters. man and boy for a half century or more commented that "nobody ever got anywhere arguing with an oyster.

CARROLLSNEW THEATER WILL
 HANDLE 5000
Playhouse to Be Opened August z7 Cost
 S4,5OO,OOO
BY JACK GAvER


 New York.--The theatrical ca- reer of Earl Carroll, who has known both extremes of accom- plishment, will reach a new height with the opening of the 3,000-seat, $4,500,000 theater which bears his name.
 Erected on the site of the former Earl Carroll theater, most of which was demolished despite its compar- ative newness, the new theater rep- resents Carroll's idea of greaking away from outmoded practices and bringing beautiful and expensive musical shows within the reach of all.
 The theater will be opened Aug. 27 with a new edition of the ''Vanities," the musical revue which has become the Carroll trademark, and the prices for this elaborate show will range from $3 down, the production of 'Vanities" caliber
 Quantity Price
 This price is not a philanthropic gesture, however, for Carroll is still in the business for profit, but 1t represents what he hopes to ac- complish with the 5000 seats. There are few legitimate theaters which will seat 1000 persons, but by application of the most modern theater construction methods Car roll believes he has a house which will permit all to see and hear as well as in the smaller houses. Even if he does not play to capacity. Carroll estimates that he will still gross more in week than he could possibly have done in the old playhouse.
 The huge movie palaces gave Carroll the idea for his new thea ter, and he will also attempt to maintain a staff which will give his patrons the courteous and compe- tent service found in the picture houses. Instead of one ticket seller behind a barred window in the lobby. Carroll will have half dozen clerks, working behind coun- ters.
 Many Innovations Another innovation will be a stagedoor lady instead of the tra- dttional stagedoor man, and the young woman he has picked fer this job would look we'll in the chorus of his show.
 The innovations are almost without end. There will be tea wagon service between acts, loud speakers to announce Curtain" a lounge for stagehands, dressing rooms for the girls which are the last word in comfort and luxury, a refrigerated room for the keep ing of flowers, a powder room" for the chorines, a three-way dis appearing orchestra pit, and new stage machinery too technical to mention.
