 The receiver for the Tracy Bros. Go. was advised to accept an offer of $3,400 for 8 cottage at Hitch cocks lake which is included as an asset of the company.

 The receiver for the Naugatuck Bank & Trust Co. was advised to make payments on trust deposits in the closed bank out of $2,100 collected for that department, on a pro rata basis.

JAPANESE R0UT
CHINESE AGAIN

PETPING, May 13 GNSO.
Chinese defense troops were in
full flight toward Peiping today,
routed by the Japanese-Manchu-
kuo avalanche from the north.
The Chinese troops, who had
been stationed north of Miyus, re-
treated in confusion after a "a
hour battle, as enemy planes
rained bombs on Miyun and
Shihhsia.
Reports from Tangku said a
Japanese aircraft carrier had ar
rived at the mouth of the Pal
River near there. and that half
a dozen Japanese planes had
taken off from the ship to recon-
noiter the Chinese battle lines.
Military officials here asserted
Japanese planes had bombed
many Chinese towns and villages
north of Peiping. Elaborate pre-,
cautions were taken here in the
event Of a bombing attack on
Peiping, where many American
and British citizens reside.

BANKS INSANITY
PLEA H|NTED

EUGENE. Ore, May 13 GNS)
The "Star" of Oregon's great
legal drama, being played in the
old Lane county courthouse here,
was to take the spotlight again
today.
He is L. A. Banks, former mil
lionaire California orchardist, and
on his impression on the jury
hangs his own life and that of
his quiet, gray-haired wife, Edith
Robertine Banks.
They are charged with murder
ing Constable George j. Prescott
at Medford last March 16, during
a terrific political feud in which
Banks, turned crusading editor,
led one militant faction against
another just as active.
Banks yesterday laid the foun-
dation for a plea of self-defense
and his attorneys indicated they
will question his sanity.
The we'll dressed defendant said
he came to Medford after years
as one of the largest citrus grow
ers and packers in California and
bought the Medford Daily News
in 1929 to carry on a fight for
fellow pear growers against
packers.

20 Wisconsin Counties
Affected by Milk Strike

MADISON. Wis, May 13
NN.SD D.-Twenty of the II coun-
ties of Wisconsin, containing
about half of the States 3.O0O,-
900 population, today reacted to
the full effect of the milk
strike.
State officials, however, be-
lieved the strike would collapse
in a few days. Milk plants
within this area were closed to-
day by order of Gov. Albert G.
Schmedeman and farmers had
no place to take their milk. But
neighboring counties were dis
posing of their deliveries in the
usual manner.
The strikers were expected to
capitulate as the farmers find
themselves cut off from all in
come. Efforts are being made
in virtually all the affected
counties to get milk producers
to sign petitions to abandon the
strike.
One of the principal concerns
of the administration was that
the Chicago market might be
lost to Wisconsin farmers, be-
cause Of the strike.

WESTERN STATE
LEADS BRAINS

NEW YORK, May 13 GN.S).
A survey of the nations intelli-
gence, made public today, showed
that the State of Washington
possesses the highest intelligence
quotient of all States and the
State of Mississippi the lowest.
This Index of culturalintel-
lectual development" was presented
before the annual meeting of the
American Eugenics Society by
Frederick Osborne. trustee of the
American Museum of Natural
History.
California ranked second to
Washington in intelligence quot
lent. Massachusetts, was third.
The survey also revealed, ac-
cording to Osborne. that the city
child-generally speaking-had a
higher intelligence quota than his
country cousin.
Osborn. basing his figures on
the 1880 census, said farm women
produced about so per cent more
children than would suffice for
equal reproduction. On the other
hand, in the cities with popula-
ton of more than 100000, only
half the number of children neces-
sary for permanent replacement
are born.

Envoy Davis Hurries
To "SaVe" Arms ParIey

LONDON, May 13 G.N.S).-
Sponsoring a fair and just but
firm" attitude toward Germany
regarding disarmament, Norman
H. Davis, special American am.
bassador, left London for Paris
and Geneva today in an effort to
save the disarmament conference
from collapse.
Expressing qualification over
the action of the world powers in
accepting President Roosevelt's
truce proposal, Davis made clear
he considered settlement of the
disarmament crisis the next step
toward world recovery.
Davis was asked whether he
favored action by the former al.
lied powers against Germany II
that nation refuses to accept the
British disarmament plan and
proceeds to build up her own de-
fenses. He said:
81 believe firm attitude to-
ward Germany is essential, but
it should be fair and just"
Despite the ugly situation at
the disarmament conference.
deadlocked over Germany'S equal
ity demands, Davis is determined
to return to Washington before
the world economic conference be-
gins on June IL to present the
tariff truce and a disarmament
agreement to President Roosevelt.
