inclined to believe that Duke will be
about the strongest five he is to meet,
with the possible exception of Georgia
and North Carolina. Shipley is ia
niliar with Dukes style of play, as
Maryland has been meeting the Dur

Shipley watched Duke when it won

Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1933-01-10

TINE Southern Conference, as
it is now composed, meets
i Friday and Saturday of this
week at Richmond to give
full consideration to the situation
which now confrontS it. This will
be the first gathering of the big
Southern athletic organization
since the split at Knoxville, early
in December, when IS schools,
composing the Far Southern
group. withdrew from the South
ern Conference to form a new
body.
Not an inkling has come from any
member of the present Southern Con-
ference, made up of South Carolina,
Clemson, North Carolina State, North
Carolina University, Duke University,
Washington and Lee, Virginia Military
Institute, Virginia Polytechnic Insti-
tute, Virginia and Maryland, as to what
is to take place at the Richmond meet
ing.
it is known that some very divergent
opinions exist as to possible action on
some of the questions due to come up,
but what action on any of them the
conference may take seems to be kept
well under cover, II anybody has any
idea of what Is to be done.
TT is not a secret that several colleges
i in the South Atlantic section were
rather glad that the split at Knox
vile took place, because they felt that
it opened the way to them for member
ships they have been seeking for some
time. Just what may be done about
increasing the size Of the present organ
idea.
This probably will come up for dis
cusSion along with other matters affect
ing future policy. 1t is likely that most
of the discussions will concern the gen.
eral policy that is to govern the body,
but If anybody knows what the nature
of the discussions are to be that person
is giving a perfect demonstration of
how to keep things to himself.
In addition to holding the confer
ence meetings, there will be gatherings
of coaches and athletic directors to
arrange basket ball, base ball, track
and boxing schedules next year. Usually
this meeting has taken place at Lynch
burg later in the year, but it was de-
cided that 1t would be more convenient
to hold it at this time. Also it is
stated that arrangements are to be
made for the boxing tournament and
basket ball tournament.
But Of all bits of news that may come
from the conference meetings, in all
probability the most eagerly awaited
will be any statement the conference
may make in regard to the split at
Knoxville. 1t seems to be the thought
in some quarters that the conference
will state its position In regard to that
and also, perhaps, make some announce
ment as to the future.

JAPAN ORDERS
ENVOY HOME
BY MILES w. VAUGHN

TOXIC, Feb. 15.-Foreign Min
lister Yasuya Uchida today tele-
graphed Yosuke Matsuoka, Japan
ese representative at the league of
nations, instructions to depart
from Geneva about February 28, on
his return to Toxic.
Matsuoka's departure from Cen
eva will signify Japan's first step
toward withdrawal from the league.
1t was understood Matsuoka and
members of his delegation will re-
turn to Japan by way of the Uni
ted States.
The government desires to re-
ceive Matsuoka's personal report
on the situation at Geneva before
making formal announcement OF
Japan's withdrawal from further
conciliation, the United Press was
informed.
In view of the fact Matsuoka
probably will visit Washington be-
fore proceeding to Toxic, 1t was
considered unlikely that Japan's
resignation from the league would
occur before the latter part OF
April.
A meeting of the cabinet was
called at 4 p. m. to discuss yester-
days activities at Geneva, includ-
ing the leagues rejection of jap
ans refusal to recognize China's
nominal sovereignty over Man
churia.

a nation wide strike of operators
Of the Telegrafos Nacionales, gov
ernment controlled system.
The strike was ordered after
President Rodriguez Of Mexico, re-
fused to intervene to halt a pro-
posed consolidation of the tele-
graph system with the post Office
department. Several hundred en-
ployees of TelegrafoS Nacionales
will lose their positions in the
move. they claimed.
Guillermo Rivera Zabala, local
chief of the 1elegraphers Union,
said that although kilograms ad-
dressed to interior and west coast
points were not being accepted be-
cause of inability to send them, the
office here was transmitting mes
sages to the United States.
The only communication open
between towns on the west coast
today was provided by mules. auto

VILLAGES GET
HARSH THREAT
FROM SOVIET

MOSCOW, Feb. Is. U.R-
The entire population of 10
Ccssack settlements in the
north Caucasus was warned to-
day that the government was
considering their wholesale ex-
lie into Siberia. The COmmuni-
ties have been officially black
listed for failure to deliver
seeds for the spring sowing.
BlackIistir,g amounts to a vir-
tyal economic boycott.
The new type of punitive ac-
ton was obviously intended to
impress other backward dis
tricts. The blacklisting prOvid-
cd that all shipments of manu-
featured goods into the settle
ments stop, and that existing
supplies of such goods be with
drawn. IL also provided that
collective farms and individual
peasants be deprived of all
right to trade in tho free mar
ket and that outstanding debts
to the government be paid
without delay.
simultaneously, a boycott
was applied to three large re-
gicns involving dozens of viii
lagos from which manufactured
goods were barred pending inn
provement in seed collections.
Nine other regions were warned
that continued sabotage in the
seed collection campaign would
bring similar punishment.

WARRANT FOR
C[A|Rv0YANT
Wanted In Plot To Kill Los An
geles Family By Means Of In
carnations.

LOS ANGELES, Feb Is. U.P)-
Efforts to kill Mrs. Charles Taulli
and her two children, through in
carnations and magic, were alleged
today as authorities sought "zan-
dra", well known Hollywood clair
voyant, on charge of conspiracy
to commit murder
Zandra, whose real name, police
said, is George Miller, allegedly
accepted $140 to do away with
Mrs. Taulli and her children, as
part of purported murder con-
spiracy.
Three persons already are under
arrest, accused of participation in
the plot. They are Charles Taulli,
Barbara Ruby Taggs and Florence
Garofalo.
Detectives charged Taulli hoped
to do away with his wife and
children so he could marry Miss
Garofalo, pretty 19-year-old Ital-
ian girl.
When the trio was arraigned be-
fore Municipal Judge Joseph L.
Call yesterday, the fact that "zan-
dra" was under suspicion was with
held in the hope he could be ap-
pretended in San Diego or Phoe-
nix.
The clairvoyant, it became
known, spoke over the radio in San
Diego two days ago. 1t was feared
he might slip over the border into
Mexico if it were known he was
wanted.
Woman Loses Nerve
Later Detective Lieutenant Frank
Condaffer learned Zandra was en-
route to Phoenix, and bench
warrant for his arerst was sent to
authorities there.
Mrs. Taggs, a Negress, who has
turned states witness, told author
tiles she gave Zandra $140 to kill
Mrs. Taulli by magic.
Her husband, Harvey Taggs,
white, corroborated his wife's story
that Taulli gave her 1851 to kill
his family when he resumed the
stand today.
He said his wife was afraid to
go through with the alleged con-
spiracy, and that ne Offered to re-
pay Taulli the money at $40 a
week.
The three were held to answer
to the superior court today on
charges of conspiracy, and re-
manded to Jail in lieu of $4,000
bond each.

EXPECT GERMANY To DEMAND
PERMISSION FOR AIR FORCES
Complete Revision Of Versailles Treaty To
Be Sought In Event World Disarmament

five-power Geneva protocc: def
initely recognized the German title
to equal armament footing.
European governments have now
come into possession of informa-
ton regarding armament claims
Germany is expected to submit to
Geneva in case consideration of Sc
curity requires gradual German
rearmament. 1t is assumed that, in
that eventuality, the German pro-
posals would principally involve
military aviation, tanks and heavy
artillery.
Demands Outlined
Demands looking toward Ger
man security would be expected to
include:
First, seven squadrons of obser-
, vation airplanes, equivsyent to one
squadron for each German army
division, squadron comprising
between five and 13 planes The
Germans also are expected to pro-
pose 81 squadrons of pursuit planes
with II to Is planes per squadron.
Other powers argue that 81 pur-
suit squadrons would be dispropor-
tionately large compared with sew
EN- observation squadrons and doubt
whether the conference would con-
cedc Germany that many pursuit
machines Under the Versailles
peace treaties, Germany ID forbid
den to possess any fighting air
force
Second, it is understood that
Germany would ask for only light
tanks of between five and eight
tons. German military experts are
known to be extremely sceptical
regarding tanks fighting value and
believe that in battle, artillery can
halt them. The introduction of this
weapon to Germany would also
be a postwar novelty since Ver-
sailles prohibited the German ar
mys use of tanks. Third, it is be-
lieved- the Germans will request a
small amount of heavy artillery.
How these presently missing cat
egories of armament will be acquir-
ed by Germany depends on Gene
va developments
German plans are also known to
entail the creation Of militia as
as an auxiliary to the regular army
of 100000 men.
II seems probable that at the
outset approximately 250,000 re-
cruits will receive military training
annually, as soon as the militia is
functioning. That figure would in
clude compulsory labor services,
conscripts, police schools and
camps, and the militia itself.

BY JOSEPH III. BAIRD
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Feb. Is. = A
three-part program of the western
powers to exert effective diplomatic
pressure on Japan was foreseen
by American officials today if, as
seemed probable, Japan rejected
terms for Cancellation of its dis
pute with China and withdrew
from the league of nations.
This policy, while no. new in
content, has hitherto been loose
and disintegrated. Officials be-
lieve it is now rapidly crystalizing
in the heat of events. 1t is sup
ported by the Hoover adninistra-
ton. While President-elect Roose-
velt has not adopted it publicly,
he is understood to approve it.
The program which the league
seems likely to adopt is:
l. Acceptance of the Lytton re-
port, condemning Japan's Man.
churian policy, as the official ex-
preston of the league.
2. Adoption of the Hoover r-Stim-
son non-recognition doctrine to-
ward Manchoukuo in two forms;
no state to recognize the "puppet"
government at Changchun; no fin
ancial or other material to sup
port to be given Manchoukuo.
3. Creation of an international
commission, probably including the
United States and Russia, to con-
ciliate the Japanese Chinese dis
pute, when, as officials believe is
inevitable some day, Japan feels
constrained to end its present mil
itary adventure.
State department officials who
have mapped American policy since
the September day in 1881 when
Japanese troops entered Mukden
believe that eventually such a pol
icy will bear fruit. But they are
apprehensive about the immediate
future in the far east.
To official observers here it ap-
pears that Japan will leave Cen
eva and that warfare in North
China will break out on an enor-
nous scale.
China will not be unprepared. 1t
is reported to have 100000 SOL
diers north of the Yangtze river.
Between 100000 and 100000 =
the nations best-are said to be in
the Peiping- -Tientsin and Jehol
