day asked an investigation of the
recent parole of A. I. Lasker, Los
Angeles financier who was sem
fenced to. San quentin in 1880,
charged with theft of 100000.
II want to know the reason for
the parole and all the facts con-
cerning it, the governor said. II
have heard nothing from the pa
role board"
Lasker filed application for
executive clemency on May 25,

no action on it but that all the
papers concerning it were obtained
from his office.
When the capitalist was sem
fenced his maximum term was
fixed at six years.

Leaders Endorse
Germany's Plea

/ LONDON, Sept. 16. U.P(-Ger-
many's demand for equality in
armament with other world powers
was considered strengthened today
by endorsement of two most active
disarmament leaders, Arthur Hun
derson, chairman of the world dis
armament conference, and the vet
eran, Lord Cecil.
Henderson told the national
peace council on the eve of his
departure for Geneva, where the
steering committee of the world
disarmament conference meets
early next week, that the worlds
hopes of peace through disarma-
ment may be shattered unless the
German demand is needed.
Lord Cecil, who observed his
sixty-eighth birthday two days ago
still convinced that the world can
be educated to peace, called the
German claim Irresistible" He
headed the British delegation to
Geneva for many years.

Naval Air Base
May Be Started
At Camp Kearney

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 16. W.H -
Plans for the establishment of an
auxiliary naval air base at Camp
Kearney were revealed here today
by Adm. William A. Moffett, chief
of the bureau of aeronautics.
Congestion at the present naval
air bases on the coast will soon de-
mand that another base be estab-
lished, Moffett said.
"It is only matter of time be-
fore Camp Kearney will be pur-
chased by the navy and developed
into one of the greatest sub-bases
in the country for lighter than air
and heavier than air craft" Mof-
fett said.
"The bill providing for purchase
of Camp Kearney by the navy
would have been passed by con-
gress this year, I believe, had it
not been for the depression
Moffett said that the navy's pres
ent plans call for the lighter than
air cruiser Akron to visit the coast
in January and return east just
before her sister ship, the Macon
makes her maiden voyage to Sun
nyvale..
"The navy's present plans" said
Moffett, call for construction of
400 new planes, but just now we
have no room or facilities for
handling them.'
Moffett will leave here Saturday
for Los Angeles and from there re-
turn to Washington.

'PUPPET STATE
IMPOSES DUTIES
ON CHINA GOODS

CHANGCHUN, Manuhukuo, Sept.
16. U.P)-Less than "a hours after
it was recognized by japan as an
independent nation, Manchukuo an
nounced today export and import
duties on Chinese goods.
The taxes will become effective

said
Although she no longer recog-
nizes herself as part of China,
the Manchukuo government an
nounced it would continue to re-
nit Manchuria's share for payment
of China's foreign debt, which is
guaranteed by the maritime Gus
toms. The government said 1,14l,-
600 yen had been sent to the Chin
ese government at Marking for this
purpose.
SHANGHAI, Sept. 16. U.P)-Al-
though China received news of the
formal recognition yesterday of

calm, extra precautions were taken
today against possible outbreaks
here Sunday, which will be the

HOOVER'S PART IN CAMPAIGN
STILL MATTER OF UNCERTAINTY

speeches. He goes better by radio,
they say. There is a fear of heck
ling. Mr.. Hoover is not at ease on
the platform. Some of his friends
are fearful that he would be un-
able to handle himself effectively
against hecklers.
Constant agitation of the bonus
army eviction, and the variety of
statements from administration Of
ficials, are regarded by most poll
tical advisers as rubbing a wound
which should be allowed to heal
undisturbed. Democrats privately
figure they gather up a new batch
of voters every time the admin
stration issues another explanation.
Until the bad news from Maine
was received Mr.. Hoover was
prompt in vetoing suggestions that
he go out on the stump. He wanted
to remain at work and let the
people see that he was attending
to his presidential duties. He even
directed White House Secretary
Joslin to issue solemn announce
ment that White House callers
bent on talking politics were not
welcome.
Strategy Abandoned
That part of the Hoover strategy
was abandoned even before the
conventions. Mr.. Hoover though
still keeping aloof to all appear
ances, was advised of every move
and advised many Of them. Walter
H. Newton, his White House poll
tical secretary, has devoted much
of his time since the conventions
to campaign matters, Decisions
concerning management of the
campaign are made daily in the
White House offices. Dozens of let
ters go out from the White House
concerning conduct of the cam
paign.
It should be emphasized, how
ever, that strictly political mail out
of the White House bears postage
stamps and is not sent free under
the Presidents frank.
The White House no longer at
tempts to keep up the impression
that it is not interested in the cam
paign. On "Black Tuesday" when
the news came in that the Demo-
Gratis had taken everything in
Maine except one congressman, the
White House became the political
headquarters of the Presidents re-
election fight. Mr. Hoover person
ally wired his campaign manager
to make a more aggressive fight.
This weeks primaries tend to
back up the pro-Democratic trend
! in Maine. In Colorado Democrats
cast more votes in their primary
than Republicans did in theirs
reversing the usual showing which
favors the Republicans. In Michi-
gan the Democratic vote rose sharp
! ly. Republicans were SO divided
and so many drifted to the Demo
cratic primary in the first Michi.
gan congressional district that 6
Negro turned up as the winner o.
the Republican congressional nomi-
nation.

BATTLESHIP in
RACE TO SAVE
ADMIRAL'S LIFE

SAN PEDRO, Calf. sept. 16.
U.P)-Racing against time, with the
life of Vice-Admiral Joel r. P.
Pringle at stake, the battleship
West Virginia sped southwark to-
day under forced draught from
Port Angeles, Wash, to San Pedro.
Specialists were to meet the YES
sci, due here at p. m. tomorrow,
to attend Admiral Pringle, critically
i'll with a bladder ailment. Plans
were made for an emergency OPP
Grafton either at Long Beach or
San Pedro.
Admiral Pringle suffered a sud-
den relapse in the north, and the
navy department issued special or
ders so he might be rushed here
and receive the attention of spe-
cialists familiar with his case. He
was said to be too i'll to travel by
airplane.
Capt. Walter S. Anderson, COM
manding the West Virginia, radioed
the naval base here last night that
he was maintaining an average of
10 knots. No information on Ad-
miral Pringle's condition was made
public.
Mrs. Pringle and her daughter
are enroute from Seattle by train.
Admiral Pringle is slated to be-
come chief of naval operations
February 28 succeeding upon his
retirement Admiral William v.
Platt, and receiving the highest
honor possible for an officer of the
United States navy.
Admiral Pringle holds the dis
tinguished service medal for work
against submarines during the
World War and is a former presi-
dent of the navy war college.

HURLEY DENIES
CHARGE HE USED
FRANK ON SPEECH

HURON, S. D., Sept. 16. WP)-
Secretary of War Patrick j. Hur-
ley today denied he authorized the
use of the frank in any distribution
of "anti-bonus propaganda"
Hurley, who spoke yesterday al
the state fair, denied charges made
at the American Legion convention
in Portland that he had sent out
the administration side of the
bonus issue under his frank.
II have not signed any anti
bonus propaganda, Hurley said
81 have not authorized the use OF
my frank for distribution of any
speech. I think that probably what
was circulated at the convention
was the statement made by me in
Portland regarding bonus riots.
II did not authorize franking in
circulating that statement. II
franking was used, 1 regret it
The statement itself was of course
public. 1t was published in the
press and could be circulated by
anyone.
"I have not the full details but
presume that it was not the state
ment that was censured, but the
method of circulation"

Two Killed When Drum

And Starts Blaze.

Eventually COntr o Is
Flames.

MIAMI. Ariz., Sept. 16. U.p)-
Two men were known to have been
killed, and possibly third, IN
gasoline explosion today that start
ed a giant blaze in the heart OF
the wholesale gasoline district of
the town.
After the combined fire depart
ments of Miami and Globe, six
miles away, had worked desperate
ly for three hours, 1t appeared the
spread of the flames had been
checked and danger of the worst
holocaust in the history of this sec
ton had been averted.
The dead:
Ike Frazier, former secretary of
state Of Arizona, manager OF the
Texas Oil company's Miami branch;
burned to death.
Ralph Hawes, truck driver, either
incinerated or killed outright by the
force of the explosion, which flung
his blackened body high into the
air.
MIAMI, Ariz, Sept. 16. U.H-A
giant explosion of gasoline today
was feared to have taken two or
more lives and to have started a
huge fire that might resist every
effort to control it before 1t had
razed good part of this town.
The explosion occurred as gaso-
line was being drawn from strage
drums of the Texas Oil company
to huge tank trucks operated by
an Arizona-Los Angeles concern.
With a roar that literally shook
the entire town and was felt in
Globe, six miles away, the gasoline
in one drum exploded, shooting
flames hundreds of feet into the
air and showering the neighbor-
hood with blazing gasoline.
Below a curtain of dense, oily
black smoke, the flames leaped to
adjoining properties. Several small
houses were doomed, and the blaze
was creeping toward the outbuild-
ings of the neighboring Union Oil
plant, where thousands of gallons
more of gasoline we're stored.
AS thousands lined nearby hills
to watch the spectacle, firemen
from Miami and Globe concen-
trated on trying to keep the blaze
away from the other plant Should
it, too, be reached and second
explosion follow the first, it was
feared there would be no way to
check the flames before they had
eaten up a large part of the resi-
Dental section beyond
Though the high flames i'm
mediately obscured the point where
the explosion occurred, other men
who had been working near the
spot said they had seen two men
| drawing out the fuel, both within
a few feet of the exploding drum,
at the moment it occurred.
If this were true, it was believed
impossible they could have es-
capped with their lives.

COUNTRY'S ILLS
TO BE- CURED BY
'KLNCFISH' LONG

NEW ORLEANS, La, Sept. 16.
U.P)-Huey (King FISH Long, fiery
reo-haired soap peddler who be-
came the United States senator
from Louisiana, has donned snow
white linen and a red necktie and
announced that he was planning a
nationwide campaign to "rid AM
erica of its multi-millionaires."
"The country has got to the
point where prosperity can't come
back until the purchasing power
is put back into the hands of the
common people," the states politi-
cal boss declared. "The consumer
won't have any purchasing power
as long as most of the wealth is
in the hands of the few"
The open season on multl-mll-
lionairas was declared, Long said,
in connection with his own plans
for a speaking tour in behalf OF
Franklin D. Roosevelt's presidential
candidacy. He made his announce
ment at a banquet last night.
I'm leaving state politics for
good" he added. 81 won't have
time to fight precinct brawls and
engage in a national political cam
paign too. I've done all ! can Tor
Louisiana; now I want to help the
rest of the country tt
The senator claimed that he had
personal word from Governor
Roosevelt that he could incorporate
his own economic theories in his
own speaking tour.
That's the only way ! would
go into it. If I thought this was
going to be just another tweedle-
dee-twiddledum campaign, I'd stay
out. But the liberal element is
running all over the world and
they'll soon be in power in America.
When they are, We'll put an end
to multi-millionaires and bring
prosperity back"
The ups and downs of the stock
market right now don't mean a
thing" the senator said. "The mar
ket will 60 down until Roosevelt
is president" he added.
Then, Long predicted, there will
be a 12-month session of congress,
to solve the country's economic
problems. "All of the shop-worn
theories of Mr.. Hoover will be re-
vamped and the business of the
government will be placed on a
sound basis" D. q.
