MASS|E RIGHT
UNFRAMED

HONOLULU, T. H., May 5
.0NSO.-The commu t t ions
granted the Massie case defend
ants were in effect pardons, since
none of the civil rights of the
four Americans have been lost as
far as the mainland is concerned.
This became apparent today
with a legal explanation of the
situation given to International
News Service by Territorial At
torney General Harry Hewitt. He
said:
"The only thing taken away
from them by the conviction is
the right to vote or hold pub
lie office in Hawaii, and these
were rights which they did not
have anyway.
'The voting of the defend
ants in the various States Of
the Union is not affected, un-
less the laws happen to con-
flict.
"They are still citizens, and
no conviction for q felony in
the Territory would deprive
them of this status"
Gov. Lawrence Judd refused to
amplify the reasons for granting
executive clemency, other than
to say that he acted as had been
requested by the defendants
through their attorney, Clarence
Darrow. He said:
'T gave them just exactly
what they asked for. What
more could / do? If the COM
mutation took away the civil
rights, then they ought to
know it with the cleverest law
yer in the land available to
represent them. They didn't
ask for a pardon"

WINSTON SALEM, N. c., July IA
The strange four-hour disappearance
of the death gun and possible discrep-
ancies in testimony of witnesses at the
coroner's inquest held the attention to-
day of officials investigating the death
of Smith Reynolds.
An apparent bullet hole through a
window screen of the sleeping porch
where young Reynolds was found dying
by his wife week ago also was being
considered as possible new evidence.
The county grand jury met yesterday,
but did not consider the case. 1t con-

Meanwhile Sheriff Transou Scott said
he did not see how Alb Walker, chum of
Reynolds. could have done everything

between the time an ambulance was

TOXIC, July 1.-THE Japanese gov

ences during the past week. indicated
unmistakably to the League Of Nations
Manchurian Investigating Commission.
that it was determined to recognize the
independence of Manchuria as soon as
1t felt the development of the new
regime warranted 1t.
After that, it indicated to the COM
mission, Japan will decline to negotiate
further with China or the League of
Nations regarding the status Of Man
churia.
The League commissioners held a
final conference today with Foreign
Minister Uchida. Secrecy was main
tained about the details of the confer
foreign minister outlined Japan's inten-
tions to all five commissioners. includ-
ing the American members, Gen. Nc
Coy.
Friendly Concern Expressed.
All five expressed "a friendly concern
over JapanS course.
Later an official source said: THE
commissioners were informed of japan S
decision to reject any Manchurian set
tlement involving the restoration OF
Chinese administration there"
The commissioners plan to leave here
for Peiping on Saturday. They declined
to discuss the results Of their visit to
Toxic, but evidently were discouraged
over the prospects OF altering Japan
determination definitely to separate
Manchuria from China.
A foreign office spokesman said the
presence Of the commission had not
changed Japan's purposes in Manchuria
and had neither hastened nor retarded
eventual recognition Of the Pu-Yi gov
ernment. Recognition is not likely tc
come, however, as soon as Is generally
expected, he said.

fault frequently lay in the employers
not knowing what to expect.
The common method OF attaching
fixed rates OF pay to given periods OF
