Japanese Minister Makes Suggestion to Russian
 Ambassador

Tokio, Nav 17-(UP)-Foreign Minister Koki Hirota has suggested to the Russian ambassador that non- identification of the Manchou- Kouan- Siberian frontier would be most desirable, a spokesman said today.
 The suggestion was made at 8 conference last night between Hi- rota, who succeeded Viscount Satio as foreign minister two months ago, and Constatine Yurenev,. the Soivet envoy, the spokesman said.
 It was pointed out by Hirota that non-fortification could be ef- fecter by extending the procisions of the Portsmouth treaty which ended the Russian-Japanese war.
 The treaty was signed at Ports mouth, N. H., In 1905, under the auspices of President Theodore Roosevelt. It provided for non fortification of the Russian Korean frontier and of the dividinng line between the Russian and Japanese portions of Saghalien island, off the Siberian coast, of which the souther two-fifths was allotted to Japan and the northern portion to Russia.
 Hirota, the spokesman said, re- called that when he was ambassa- dor to Russia, he told Russian as- sistant foreign commissar Leo Kar- akhan that demilitariEation of the Manchurian- n-Siberian-now Man. choukuoan -Siberia--frontier should precede any Russian-JapaneSe non- aggression treaty.

PRIME MINISTERS TO GET HOME
Government to H o Il s e Officials of Public
 Offices

Paris (UP)-Because the strain of political life in France Is great CT than few years ago, the gov- ernment has decided to give it's prime ministers place of retreat from the noisy confusions of pub lie office.
 This French "Chequers" will be
 heart of the St Germain forest | (10,000 acres); about 13 miles r an 18th Century chateau in the from Paris, on an elevation above hte Seine.
 Heretofore prime ministers in
 France have had no official resi-
 dence. The president, on the other hand, has a summer resi- dence in the Rambouillet forest, as well as sumptuous palace here
 But because prime ministers go
 and come so swiftly. sometimes
 remaining in office one or two
 days only, it has not been con- sidered worthwhile to give them an official home.
 The chateau, known as the Pa
 villon de la Muette, was erected in 176S by Louis XIV, who used 1t as a hunting lodge. just as his pre- decessor employed Versailles. The architect was the celebrated Man sard. The chateau is one of the historical monuments belonging l to the state.
 The government has begun to 1 furnish. it with decorations and
 historical pieces belonging to the 18th Century drawn from mu- seums. The prime minister will be able to spend Christmas there, if so inclined.

SOVIET UNION IS
 CLOSING BREACH

(Continued from Page 1.) when Litvinoff arrived at s:b0 o'clock. The President was enter-- taining his cabinet at dinner, and other guests afterward at a musi- cal.
 Iitvinoff brought with him a party of Soviet officials. They in- cluded Boris E. Skvirsky of the Soviet Information Bureau here and Mrs Skvirsky; Peter A. Bog danov of the Amtorg Trading Cor poration; and Ivan Divilkovsky and Konstantine Oumansky of the Soviet foreign office.
 While the President and Litvi- noff talked privately, the members of the Russian party joined the Presidents other guests at the musicale. Invitation of the Soviet officials to a White House social function was in itself indicative that recognition had been agreed upon, for never since the breach of relations in 1917, have Soviet dip lomats been entertained by the President.
 An even more significant scene was enacted at the old Russian embassy. Scores of boxes were loaded on trucks and transported to government building not iar from the Washington monument The truck drivers were uncommun- icative. But State Department official said: we are having some records l moved to a more convenient place where they may be consulted by representatives of the two govern ments. This step is being taken with the full knowledge Of MT Litvinoff."
 Still another indication of rec ognition was seen In the transfer from the State Department to the REC of Assistant Secretary of State Harry F. Payer. This off, cial has been specializing for sev- eral months in study of Soviet American trade. He Is to advise the REC on foreign commercial matters.
 Secretary of Treasury Woodin, late guest at the White House, on | being questioned about the negO- tiations. said significantly:
 You will get the news to- morrow"

 The kings speech came as the British government was making a strong effort to restart the work of the world disarmament commis-s sion.
 Sir John simon, foreign minister, and Captain Anthony Eden. his parliamentary undersecretary, were on their way to Geneva by way of Paris to consult Arthur Henderson, president of the commission, in his effort to get chief delegates of the European powers together for a reconciliatory conference.

 State police were satisfied that 1t was also such a bomb which fired a 10-ton truck and trailer on the crest of Jacobs ladder near Otis, a few hours earlier.
 Stanley Spulnick of Albany. the driver, managed to stop the heavy vehicle, and escaped injury. Spul- nick, who was alone, telephoned the Lee barracks of the state police and troopers were rushed to the scene, but it was neither possible to save the truck and trailer nor to find any evidence of the person responsible.
 Spulnick recalled that about a mile back from the scene of the fiDe he had seen man standing by the roadside, and state police be- lieved that this man either tossed Q fire bomb into the truck as 1t moved slowly up a steep grade, or ignited the fuse of a bomb that had been planted in the truck.
 The truck destroyed was owned by the Consolidated Motor Lines, Inc, and the truck in which the unlighted fire bomb was discovered was owned by the Sommer's Trans fer company. Both these firms are affected by the strike. Re- gently a bomb was found attached to the intake value of a gasoline storage tank at the Springfield garage of the Sommer's company.
 A total of 27 trucks, conveyed by 100 state troopers, arrived here today from Albany, Worcester and Boston.
