SOVIET RUSSIA | AND JAPAN CAN | MAKE NO PEACE
Declaration of Stalin That Russia is Preparing For War Stops Any Non- Aggression Pact
By MILES w. VAUGHN United Press Stan Correspondent

(OmhUeu t-rcSS SUaM COffcSpOnuentb
 Tokio, Jan Il = (UP) = Josef Stalin's recent statement that the Soviet government is preparing for war removed the last possibility that Japan might sign a non-ag- gression pact with Russia, a gov- ernment spokesman intimated to- day.
 The Soviet government demon- strated that while 1t was asking Tokio to sign the pact, it was shift ing it's entire industrial five year plan to prepare for war, the spokesman said.
 The demand of the Japanese military for huge appropriations In the current budget was due to the knowledge of the change in the Soviet program, according to the spokesman.
 Stalin's speech, i to which the spokesman referred, was delivered before the central executive com mittee of the Soviet Union and was the first procurement in IS months by the virtual dictator of the Soviets.
 Stalin told the committee that the Far Eastern crisis and the failure of "certain neighbors" to sign non-aggression pacts forced the Soviets to devote an unexpect- ed portion of the five year plan to the production of modern instru- ments of defense" This change in the program was responsible for the six per cent under- -fulfillment of the first five year plan, stalin said.
 The Japanese spokesman did not indicate that Japan intended severing diplomatic relations due to the new developments. It was indicated that the Tokio govern. ment would agree to the nomina- ton of Constantine Yurenev as Soviet ambassador to Tokio to succeed Ambassador Troyanowsly who returns to Moscow in Feb ruary.

Removal of All but Four
World War Veterans Draws
Leaders Fire.

Veterans organizations were aroused
today by reports from the War Depart
ment and Veterans Administration that
all but four World War service men had
been removed from Walter Reed Hos
pital since passage Of the economy act
and their places taken by $50 members
of the Civilian Conservation Corps. The
four remaining veterans are too i'll for
removal
The Veterans Administration said the
economy act had so reduced the number
of veterans entitled to treatment that it
is now able to care for them in its own
hospitals. Removal of veterans from
Army hospitals has proceeded steadily
since soon after the enactment OF the
law which limited hospital benefits to
service cases.
A compilation by the American Legion
shows the number of veterans receiving
treatment in Army hospitals dropped
from 2,022 on February % to "a July
Is, and those in naval hospitals from
1853 to 48 in the same period. A fur
ther decline has occurred since then.
The Legion said the number of veterans
receiving disqualification at Government
expense had been reduced by approx
imately 12,500 since the passage of the
act.
Walter Reed Hospital has become
noted for its work in treating osteomye-
litis, a progressive and continuous bone
infection resulting from exposure OF a
shattered bone to contaminated earth.
Patients suffering from this disease
require continued operations, and sur
geons at Walter Reed have devoted
much study to it. The Legion said chat
until recently all such cases have been
sent to Walter Reed Hospital because Of
the specialized care available there.

.GOTWALS SCORES
GAS MAIN FINDINGS
D. C. Engineer Criticizes
Methods of Ascertaining
Original Costs.

Sharp criticism Of the methods of
finding original cost Of the gas mains
of the Washington and Georgetown Gas
Light Companies in their valuation case
was expressed by Engineer Commits
sioner John c. Gotwals at the public
hearing before the Public Utilities Com
mission today.
Although there are some cost figures
on the companies books before 1910,
their expert witness, Stuart F. Rosters,
has ignored them as not representative,
and for the entire period 1848 to 1910
has built up estimated figures based on
two periods described by him as
"normal"-1910-1916 and 1925 to 1880.
Gotwals, pointing to his own expert
ence in the Water Department. said he
knew full well it would be cheaper to
let contracts on jobs which he does
with his own maintenance and oper-
ating force, at much greater cost, to
keep his forces intact.
Rosters replied that he paid no at
tention to whether one method or
another might have been cheaper. He
was intent only on finding out what
the company actually spent.
Assistant Corporation Counsel Will
liam A. Roberts asked him if the cost
Of maintaining gangs, just to keep them
together in slack periods, found its
way to fixed capital. At first the wit
ness answered yes, but then asked to
have his answer scratched out and
changed it to no.
Roberts then asked If there was a
maintenance gang with no work to do
and was kept>on the rolls though idle,
where its pay roll would be charged.
The answer was to operating costs.
He then asked if the same gang was
given some small main laying job to do,
at a high cost, where those costs
would 60.
Rosters conceded that those costs
might reach fixed capital, but said, that
1t would be very unusual for q company
70 keep large number Of men at work
with nothing for them to do.
The importance Of this line Of ques-
uoning Is that whatever gets into fixed
capital accounts becomes a part of the
valuation of the company ION the
original cost basis, on which the COM
pany Is entitled to charge rates.
The gas main costs, as found BY
Rosters, exceed 81 200, 900, and form one
of the chief backgrounds of the origi-
nal cost case.
Rosters said he picked his periods
for estimates because they were most
normal" although he could imagine
periods previous to 1910 which might
nave been more normal"

MARYLAND POET, rs.
is FOUND SUFFERING FROM COLD

Suffering acutely from the cold and

Baltimore lawyer and poet, was picked
up by police last night and taken to
Gallinger Hospital where today he is
awaiting relatives to take him back to
Maryland.
Mr.. Easter. about rs, walked away
from a private sanitorium at Cations
vile, Md, Monday and, although un-
able to explain his presence at Union
Station last night, 1t is believed he had
spent the intervening time walking the
IS miles to Washington.
His physical condition, however, was
described at the hospital as good, in
spite of the exposure, and it is not be-
lieved he suffered any Ill effects from
the trip.

The big planets, Jupiter, Saturn,

far beyond the limits at which life Is
imaginable.
But the most pitiable condition Of all
would be that of a living creature on
little Pluto, farthest and most recently
discovered of the suns family. 1t is 40
times the distance of the earth from
the sun, SO its temperature must be that

mass of the earth, so that anything on
its surface would weigh only one-tenth
as much. 1t probably long since has
lost all its atmosphere.
Few Star Collisions.
The Mount Wilson investigations, DR..
Adams pointed out. practically conflne
life to the earth. The chances are that
there are a very few other planetary
systems in the universe, although the
possibility of star collision which is
necessary to form such system is very
slim and can only have been realized a
few times in all the unimaginably vast
reaches of space and time.
In the one known case-that Of the
sun-only one of the cast-of fragments
happened to be placed in the narrow
limit of conditions necessary for life,
and it cannot be assumed that any Of
the other coSmic crashes have had a
similar result. So the earth, for the
present at least, may be justified in
claiming monopoly Of life.
1T becomes increasingly apparent"
DR.. Adams said, that in the universe
as a whole life is far more precious

ROOSEVELT ORDERS
STUDYOF PROTESTS
Directs Fine Arts Commission
to Investigate Complaints
Against Apex Building.

President Roosevelt has asked the
Fine Arts Commission to investigate the
number Of protests made against con-
struction of the so-called Apex Build
ing" at the eastern end of the Federal
Public Building Triangle.
The President was advised that the
protests are based on a claim that the
Apex Building would detract from the
architectural glory of the imposing
Archives Building, which now is the
most easterly unit Of the Federal build
ing project.
The Archives Building, those who op-
pose the apex plans contend, provided
architects with one of the few oppor-
tunities of the whole new building pro-
gram for expression Of pure Grecian
architecture, devoid Of regiments Of win
dow openings that clutter up the de-
partmental Office buildings.
BY a coincidence, the commission
called upon by the President to decide
the fate Of the Apex Building Is one of
the governmental agencies which were
to be housed In the disputed structure.
The building also was planned to house
the Federal Trade Commission and the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission.
Opponents of the further extension
Of Government buildings eastward hold
that the Archives Building should stand
by itself at the head. so to speak, Of the
Federal triangle, which is bounded by
Pennsylvania and Constitution avenues,
Fifteenth street and Sixth street.
DR.. Charles Moore, chairman Of the
Fine Arts Commission, said today the
Apex Building plans are in general har-
mony with plans for the triangle devel-
opment. He saw no conflict In the ar
chitectural design with that Of adjoin-
ing new buildings, explaining that not
only has the Fine Arts Commission ap-
proved it, but also the Board Of Archi-
tectural Consultants Of the Treasury
Department and the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission.
Dr. Moore pointed out that the apex
building plans are based on classical
precedents. s.
