 Montgomery M. Taylor, aboard the U. s. s. Houston, calm and un- worried, told me he saw no neces- | sity for evacuating Americans and that he intended to "sit tight" and | watch developments.
 Admiral Koichi Shiosawa and Vice Admiral Kichisaburo Nomura in command of the powerful naval , forces concentrated here by Japan said there were two alternatives diplomatic negotiations or force, Both insisted they preferred nego- tiations which would make possi- ble peaceful withdrawal of Chi nese forces.
 Japanese Minister Mamoru Shi- gemitsu told me progress had been made in conversations with Chi nese officials involving mutual con- sessions and withdrawal of troops by both sides. (Shigemitsu either had not received authorization from Tokio to issue an ultimatum to the Chinese at this time, or did not mention it).
 Admiral Nomura, genial and shrewd, placed his fist over a map of the Chapel area before him and said emphatically, We Japanese are not on speaking terms with the Chinese here." significantly, "but at Nanking, the Chinese and Japanese are able to talk it through"
 The Japanese indicated a will ingness to withdraw their Woo sung and Chapel troops inside the international settlement in the event that the Chinese would withdraw "a reasonable distance'' from Shanghai. Already General Shimomoto's brigade was en route to Shanghai from Woosung. leav- ing Japanese marines to hold their original positions.
 learned late to-day that Chiang Kai-Shek was en route to Shang- hal. This indicated to some that he was willing to risk the power he now holds in an effort to per- suade the 18th Chinese route army to withdraw and cease hostilities.
 These developments gave fur ther basis for the belief that there would be no big offensive, and that the Japanese might withhold their ultimatum. But both sides were confronted with the delicate prob- lem of "saving their faces"
 If the Chinese army withdraws voluntarily now, 1t will do 50 with its prestige as the saviors of Shang- hai at a peak of popularity. The troops are being praised through out China for their stubborn re- sistance against the Japanese in- vaders.
 But the Ranking Central Daily News, official organ of the Kuo- mintang party, significantly warned that over-confidence should not re- suit from the 19th's showing, be- cause Japan is able to pour men and equipment into China if she desires.
 I was informed from a reliable source that Lieut. Gen Kenkichi Uyeda, after unloading men of the ninth division, had inspected the field and notified the Japanese war office that a military campaign would be impossible without fur ther reinforcements. Tokio there- fore decided to give the diplomats their big chance, my informant said.

 TO BE GUARDED
They Will Be Closely Sue pervised By Wall Street in Order to Cut Down Overhead

Hollywood, Feb 17-(U. P.)-Af- fairs of the Fox Film Corporation will be closely supervised from Wall Street, even to the extent that no contract players or other employees may be engaged without sanction of the New York board of direc- tors, Edward R.

LAWYER DARROW :. FIGHTS FOR THE
 LIFE OF YOUTH
l7-Year-Old Boy Is Under Sentence of Death for Killing Trolley MOtOr-

Springfield, III. Feb 17.-UP)- The supreme court of Illinois to- day had the counsel of Clarence Darrow, aged warrior of the law, to guide them in determining the fate of Russell McWilliams, IF, con- fessed slayer.
 The youth, who killed a street car motorman in a gin-mad holdup, waited under sentence of death in his narrow cell at Joliet prison for word of the tribune's decision. Shall we execute children? Where will this stop?" the deep, vibrant voice of the barrister whose name has become synonfmous with ''the defense" pleaded at the bar of the supreme court chamber.
 The 75-year-old lawyer, his weathered hands trembling with earnestness asked the court to grant new trial or commute the sentence to life Imprisonment. ''It is cruel and inhuman justice to sentence this boy to death," he said turning his gray eyes from jurist to jurist, pleading with the eloquence that marked his argu- ments in the Loeb-Leopold case and the Dayton, Tenn, evolution case.
 Darrow attacked the procedure by which McWilliams was allowed to plead guilty to the killing which occurred in Rockford after, McWil- Hams testified, he was crazed by drinking bottle of gin. Darrow asserted the judge should not have considered McWilliams' confession of previous holdups.
 For 40 minutes Darrow who volunteered his services in the case stood in his wrinkled blue suit, and pleaded the youths case.

NANKING, China, January 20.-The
Chinese government indicated today it
is planning to issue an order for the
arrest of all persons alleged to be re-
sponsible for the new movement to set
up an independent state in Manchuria.
1t was not suggested that the gov
ernment would be able actually to
make the arrests, but it was under
stood 1t planned to notify the powers
that China cannot recognize any treaty
or agreement made between foreign
countries and those persons against
whom warrants are outstanding.
The list of those for whose arrest
warrants are being prepared was under
stood to include Hsuan Tung, otherwise
known as Henry Pu-Yi, former Chinese
boy Emperor, and a g>Uup of other
Chinese Manchurian officials who, the
government charges, are following the
dictates of Japan.
Hsuan Tung, who is 26 years old, re-
Gently was spirited away from TientSin,

IN POSTAL RATES

Sales Tax at Hearing
Before Committee.

Two methods Of increasing the Gov
ernment's revenue were outlined today
to the House Ways and Means Com
mittee.
Postmaster General Brown, telling Of
the $3.50, 900 deficit confronting the
Postoff1ce Department, requested that
first-class postal rates be raised from
two to three cents. He also asked a
small increase in second-class rates.
Two Treasury experts gave their
opinions that a manufacturers sales
tax, such as the Canadian system,
could be used in this country. Their
views were based upon study of the
Canadian plan.
The tax brings s44,ooo,ooo annually
to Canada, but the experts declined to
estimate what might be expected from
1t In this country.
Sees $1o0, 100000 Increase.
Brown in urging that first-class rates
be increased from to cents an ounce,
estimated this would bring in 500, ,000,-
600 additional revenue.
This increase, we feel, Is justifiable, u
he said, based on the value of serv-
ice rendered as compared with rates
that prevail In other countries"
Brown said he favored a slight ad-
vance in second-class rates. He also
recommended increases in registered
mail fees, insurance rates on parcel
post, money order fees and fourth class
mail rates.

LONDON, January 20.-Postpone-
ment of the Lausanne Preparations
Conference was regarded in British
official circles today as inevitable be-
cause of the French political situation
With the debate in the French
Chamber of Deputies carried over until
Thursday, Downing Street considered
1t impossible for the arrangements for
