National Board Reveals Re-adjus stment of Fafl-
 lily Budget Secret

Chicago.-Real estate men have been investigating the larders of American families. examining their laundry bills and checking on the number of times the children att tend the movies, in an effort to de- termine whether there are more funds for home owning than are now being diverted into that field.
 Results of the investigation re- veal that many more families could buy, or build homes, if they recognized budgets, the National Association of Real Estate Boards announced, together with the naiia- ing of. December l as Nationai Home Savings Day. On this day people throughout the country will be urged from 8 new angle to become their own landlords.
 The new approach is the plan the association has worked out under which low salaried families can save for home buying or buildine. without changing their present living standards.
 Members of the real estate as- sociation in 500 cities, banks and other agencies will use the study on family spending habits to show prospects how to assemble the money for their own domiciles. .
 Definite suggestions, directed chiefly to women, and backed by figures that have nothing to do with real estate, but go into the family expenditures for essentials. will be distributed the morning. of December 1 in hundreds of com munities and cities.

 Tokio, November 13-- (UP) - The possible beginning of the long expected battle of Tsitsihar was reported today in press reports of a new clash between Chinese and Japanes troops alng the Nonni River front.
 An official announcement said Manchurian cavalry under com mand of General Ma Chan-Shan in Heilungkiang province. clashed with Japanese patrol in the Non- nj River sector.
 Four Japanese cavalrymen were killed and one was captured.
 The Chinese engaged Japanese forces in a three-hour clash south of Anganchi, on the Chinese East ern Railroad, a dispatch from the "Asahi" correspondent at the front said. The Nippon Dempo corre- spondent at Tsitsihar confirmed the report. There were some Japanes casualties.
 The Japanese were reported to have occupied the Chinese outpost north of Flashing after the clash, thus advancing their front line of defense northward toward Angan- chi and Tsitsihar.
 The extent of the fighting in the Nonni area was not definitely stated. It was known that Japanese achievements had been sent up to protect the river railroad bridge and that some 10000 Chinese troops had been concentrated near Anganchi. ~
 The developments again threat ened to involve Soviet Russia, which has joint control with China over the Chinese Eastern, running some 12 miles north of the Japa- nese lines of defense.
 The alignment in the Tsitsihar area appeared to put the troops of Ma Chan-Shan at a disadvantage despite his superiority of numbers. General Mas forces were under stood to be concentrated around Anganchi, some 12 miles to the south was the first line of Japa- nese defense, and to the northeast of Anganchi were the troops of General Chang Hai-Peng, Chinese commander friendly to Japan. General Chang was in a position to close in on the rear of the Angan- chi troops, in an effort to seize Tsitsihar. which the Asahi corre- spondent reported he was already attempting to do.

CRAMER HOPS

TRAIL
Two More Planes in Detroit
Poised to Follow Route
Mapped for Mail Service

REYKJAVIK, Iceland, Aug. 7
GN.S) ).-Mapping out pro-
jected air-mail route across the
sub-Arctic regions, Parker Cramer,
daring Rockford Ill) flier, left
Reykjavik at 2:10 this afternoon
Q1:10 a. M, Washington time)
for the Farce Islands.
The distance from ReykjaVik to
the Faroes is about 500 miles.
Cramer reached Reykiavik yes
terday at 3:55 a. m. t9:55 p. M,
Washington time), flying from
Greenland.
With Cramer was Oliver Pas
quette, Canadian radio operator.
The two started, unannounced,
from Detroit July % to blaze q
Northeast airmail route to Copen-
hagen and Central European
points, via Greenland, Iceland,
and other intermediate places.
Mystery Unexplained
Although Cramer deposited
$1,000 with the Greenland Gov
ernment some time ago to pay
for a relief expedition in case he
was forced down on the icy pla.
teaus of that wasteland country,
he took the world by surprise
when he landed day before yes
| terday at Angmagsalik, a little
nf Vel
of white men on the east coast
of Greenland.
The reason for the mystery
connected with the flight has mot
been made known, but 1t was
assumed the airmaiT line wished
to establish service between
Europe and America ahead Of
competitors.
One of the outstanding fea.
lures of Cramer's flight from De-
troit was the successful use Of
an oilburning engine. All pre-.
vious ocean fliers have used Spe.
cial flight gasoline, but Cramer
used ordinary crude oil, such
AS that employed on ocean
liners.
Whale Oil in Emergency
1t was said that had he been
forced down for lack of fuel at
some remote igIOO village he could
have continued on oil extracted
from whale blubber. AS crude oil
is not so sensitive to cold it may
prove better for Arctic flying than
gasoline, it was said.

in his own defense yesterday.
Minor, who is a cripple, de-
clared that he had been drinking

Lucas was dead from the son of
the murdered man, Frank Lucas.
He said:

liquor. / had no money and
Lucas told me to go back and
get my guns, and he would take
them in trade. went back
and got the guns, and bought
some liquor, which Lucas and l
drank together"
Minor said that while they
were drinking they were trying
out the guns by shooting them
out the kitchen door He said
that he became entirely drunk,
and did not know anything un-
til he came to and asked Frank
Lucas for a drink.
The boy. according to Minor,
said:
You shot daddy"

UNION THEFT
CASE FIRST
S|FTED
Many Other Angles to Get
Scrutiny, Including Horse
whipping Official by Woman

The Grand Jury today began
the tedious task of ironing out
the troubles of the local union
of the international Union of
Operating Engineers which first
broke into the public prints
several months ago when a high
official of the union was publicly
horse whipped by the wife of a
suspended member.
Many angles of the case are
under Investigation, but Assistant
United States Attorney Charles
B Williams, who is in charge,
asserted that the morning session
was devoted entirely to charges
of embezzIement against Dave
/ Evans, former treasurer of the
local, arrested in Chicago earlier
lin the weak by Department of
Justice agents in connection with
an alleged labor racket
IL Witnesses to Appear e~-
Eleven witnesses are yet to
appear in connection with other
charges. the nature of which Mr..
Murray would not reveal. It has
been rumored, however, that the
Department of Justice has been
conducting a national investiga-
ton of the affairs of the union
since the so-called supervisory
system has been put into effect.
The appearance of Mrs. Dora
eVens, who horse-whipped
Charles E. Haury, in front of the
office of the union early in the
spring. gives credence to the re-
port that the Grand Jury is
investigating that angle of the
case also.
Mrs. Stevens was arrested on an
assault charge growing out of the
affair, but the case was dismissed
in Police Court after counter
charges TO assault were filed
against Haury.
Arthur N. Huddell, general
president of the union. died sew
eral months ago as the result of
bullet wound fired by an un-
known assassin as he sat in a
lUnchroom with two other union
officials.
Report Due Tuesday
Counsel for Mr.. Huddell made
public statement to the effect that
failure of the prosecuting authori-
ties to proceed in Police Court in
the assault cases was responsible
for the shooting. 1t is thought
that the Grand jury will now
settle those matters once and for
all aft rea further investigation.
While the investigation is sup
posed to extend over a long
period of time its first report will
probably be made Tuesday.

The curtailment order virtually
amounts to an institution of a
