This solution is explained in para

and reads as follows: THE government
in Manchuria should be modified In
such a way as to secure, consistently
with the sovereignty and administrative
integrity of China. large measure o.
autonomy designed to meet the loca
conditions and special characteristics Of
the three provinces. The new civi
regime must be so constituted and con-
Quoted as to satisfy the essential re-
quiremerts Of good government. Tht
internal order Of the country should b:
secured by an effective local gend-
armerie force, and security against ex-
ternal aggression should be provided b!
the withdrawal of all armed forces
other than gendarmerie and by thu
conclusion OF non-aggression treaty
between the countries interested"
In order to reach this goal the COM
mission urges that the discussions be-

1. A declaration by the government
of China constituting . special admin

G.N.S0.-Arthur j. Smart, who
remains adamant in his refusal
to comply with demands that
his three children be sent to the
public schools, today said he had
carried his fight to President

H. w. Weidener, supervising
principal of schools, asked Smart
why the Smart children. ranging
in age from seven to ten years
were not attending school, and
Smart said:
"My wife is a better teacher
than any they have in the local
schools. She doesn't teach them
a lot of nonsense.

our children at home. We have
a right to give them individual

them from the dangers of auto
mobiles and railroad crossings,
from possible attacks by dogs,
from diseases carried by other

HIT
IN SALARY
GUT PLAN
Economy Committee Chops
10 Per Cent; AppointeeS
to Lose 91-3 Per Cent

The Presidents furlough
plan was perfected by the
House Economy Committee to-
day SO that it provides for a
reduction of 10 per cent in
salaries of members of Con-
gress, a reduction of s 1-3 per
cent in pay of regular en-
ployes not under Civil Service,
and exempts all persons re-
ceiving less than $1,000.
The changes in the Presidents
plan are designed to make that
proposal equally effective on all
classes of employees, including per.
sons under congressional patron
age and employees of the Library
'of Congress and others working in
similar positions.
COngres Pay Drops
Congressional salaries would be
reduced 10 per cent. Patronage
employees and appointiye position
holders would be reduced 8 1-3 per
cent to correspond with the 30-day
furlough plan.
Civil Service employees would
work under the 30-day Fan where
by they would be forced to take
that number of days without pay.
Per diem employees would take 80
days annually without pay by
eliminating Saturdays as sug-
gested by the President.
The $1,000 exemption would be
effective so that no employe re-
ceiving less than that amount
would be forced to take a salary
reduction, payless furlough, or
work under the five-day system.
Exempted From Cut
All persons working on the Ses-
sion roll at the Capitol, whose
salaries are egulated according
to the Congressional term, would
also be exempted from any of
the reduction proposals.
The Economy Committee will
next move to perfect it's own
proposal for. a salary reduction
by the formula of deducting $1,000
and taking from the remainder
of the salary IL per cent. One
$1,000 times II per cent. One
of the perfected proposals, prob
ably the II per cent reduction
plan, will be Included in the
omnibus economy bill when it is
reported to the House.

SENATE QUIZ
IN HUNT FOR
BIG SHOTS
Stock Exchange Head to Face
GriIIing on Morgan Deals
in Reparations Bonds

Discovery of hundreds of
"dummy accounts" in the
first $4,000 short selling rec
ords, subpoenaed by the Sen
ate from the New York Stock
Exchange, today led to de-
mands for a further investiga-
tion into the confidential files
of brokerage houses.
Committee investigators failed
TO find the names of Cabinet of,
ficres or prominent politicians
among the first $4,000 accounts
examined.
They were unable to say def
nitely whether Cabinet officers
engaged in short selling because
of the hundreds Of dummy ac-
counts" It was pointed out that
if officials did engage in short
selling, they probably would do
it under fictitious trading names.
Publicity FOreSeen
Chairman Norbeck (R0 of
South Dakota. indicated there
would be further inquiry to de-
termine tht identity Of short
traders. He said:
"These names will be made
public. But first they must
serve their purpose"
The committee procured $4,000
short selling accounts from the
exchange. It's investigators hope
to complete examination of them
by Thursday when Richard Whit
ney, president of the exchange,
resumes the witness stand.
The accounts are being divided
according 0 stocks to determine
which traders attacked particular
stocks in their short selling opera
tons.
"Pegging" to Be PrObed
William A. Gray, of Philadel-
phia, special counsel for the COM
mittee, intimated Whitney would
be questioned Thursday in greater
detail about the practice of peg
ging" prices and rigging the
market"
BY that time, Whitney will be
expected to report whether his
brokerage firm 'pegged" the
prices of German reparations
bonds for j. P. Morgan & Co.
Senator Brookhart (R0 Of
Iowa announced he would ask
Gray to press the inquiry into
"bull market" operations as well
as short selling. The records
subpoenaed, though, deal solely
with short selling.
Senator Watson CR.) of Indiana
said:
eve probably will make pub
lie the names of short sellers
with accounts of short sales in
excess of 1000 shares.
"We are going to the bottom
Of this short selling business"

BRITAIN HINTS
WAR DEBTS
At END
Budget 0mits Provision for
1882 Payment to U. S.;
Lausanne Is Pivot

LONDON, April 10 G.N.S.).
The new British budget, MAX
ing no provision for payment
of this years installments on
the war debt due to the United
States, was presented to the
House of Commons by Chan
cellor of the Exchequer
Neville Chamberlain today.
Chamberlain announced he was
making no provision in the pres
ent budget for reparations and
European debt receipts, hence no
provision was made for British
payments to America. He OBJ
served:
"Our future position is de-
pendent upon the Lausanne
ReparatiOnS Conference.
NOT NEW DECISION
"This does not imply any
fresh decision has been taken
as to our ability on this very
de cate question"
Because of the absence of
European debt revenue, Cham
berlain announced that the in
terest charges on the war debt
to the United States were being
eliminated from the nations
fixed debt charges, reducing
them from 800, 100000 to 308, ,000,-
900 pounds.
RumorS had been current that
the payments might be excluded
entirely, due to the improbability
of Britain making any war debt
collections fro mher European
debtors this year.
Tea Tax Revised
Chamberlain final budget fig
ures estimated expenditures at
6,0O4,0O0 pounds and revenue
at 766,800.000.
The chief provisions in the
budget were re-imposition of a
tax on tea for the first time
since the days of Queen Victoria;
preparation of new import duties
to raise an additional 100000
pounds annual revenue, subject
ing of pensions to income tax
and establishment of trade pref
erences for empire products.
Contrary to expectations, the
beer tax was not reduced.
Discussing the war debt prob
lem, Chamberlain reiterated the
opinion expressed in February
that Britain considers wiping
out of war debts and reparations
the best solution to the tangle.
Awaits Lausanne
Chamberlain announced that
the budget also omits receipts
from Dominion war debts SER
vices. On this point he said:
although they stand on a
different fOting from the inter
allied debts, / believe that to a
certain extentthey are inter
connected and that it is wiser
to treat them both in suspense.
"After the deliberations at
Lausanne, 1 will admit to Par
lament whatever might be
deemed necessary to give effect
to the measures agreed upon"

HONOLULU, T. H, April
10 G.N.S.).-(7:15 a. M,
Honolulu time, 12:45 p. m.
Eastern Standard Time).--
Mrs. Thalia Massia, victim of
an attack last September by
five half-castes that plunged
her family into a tragic series
of events which eliminated in
the shooting of Joseph Kaha-
hawai-, today was ordered by
Chief Defense Counsel Clar-
ence Darrow to attend the
"honor Staying" trial for the
first time.
Darrow said that Mrs. MaSsie
will be a witness for the defense
later in the wek and today he
was anxious for her to familiarize
herself with the court house at
moSphere and surroundings.
He informed International
News Service that he will sum-
mon his two noted mainland
psychiatrists, DR.. Edward Hunt
lngton Williams and DR.. Thomas
j. OrbiSon, to lay the foundations
for general defense of insanity.
Lieutenant Massie is on trial
accused of the second degree mur.
der Of Kahahawai. Likewise
standing trial are his ariStocratic
mother-in-law, Mrs. Grace Hub
bard Fortescue, and two naval
enlisted men, Albert S. Jones and
E. j. Lord.
The mental blank" that en-
gulfed Lieutenant Massie after
Kahahawai confessed to an at
tack on his wife, will be ex.
planned today by the two alienists
after minor defense witnesses
have been heard. Darrow said.
Given Mental Tests
For nearly two weeks DrS. Will
liamS and Orbison have had Lieu
tenant MaSsie under daily obser.
vation, Darrow admitted, and
they also have given him mental
examinations.
Just what conclusions they have
reached the astute Darrow de.
clined to reveal, but it was under
stood they are prepared to testify
that hysteria and emotional in
sanity seized the officer when
Kahahawai admitted the assault.
For two hours Prosecutor
John C. Kelley hammered at
Lieutenant MasSie, endeavoring
both to shake his story-the
prosecution has limited that he is
shielding the real slayer-and to
dispute the defense of insanity,
but the young officer survived the
questioning with his testimony
mistaken.
Massie Admits Drinking
Kelley scored two minor VIC
tories, however.
He won from Lieutenant Mas
sic the admission that he had
been drinking on the night that
his wife was attacked.
He also forced the officer to
reveal that he had been queS-
toned by Long Island, N. Y, po-
lice concerning the kidnapping
of a baby-but the incident was
so palpably absurd that it was
generally admitted the reaction
Of the cour favored Massie
rather than the prosecution.
Kelley dismissed Lieutenant
Massie from the witness box with
the reservation that he may be
subjected to further cross-exami.
