Attention on Marked
Improvement. =.

~ the Associated Press
NEW YORK, July 25.-Publica-
ton Of the second-quarter earnings
statement Of the United States Steel
Corporation late this afternoon will
focus attention upon the trend Of cor
porate earnings generally during those
months.
Although Wall Street understood, in
advance of the actual figures, that
operations of big STEEL probably. fell
somewhat short Of covering charges. it
assumed that the improvement over the
flrst three months was substantial.
The buoyant stepping-up Of produc-
ton schedules from April through June
with no current signs of lag-has
enabled many companies to swing into
the second half Of 1888 with some black
Ink behind them instead of the dis
couraging red Of previous comparative
periods.
Losses Cut or Reversed.
OF 81 concerns which have already
reported for the initial half OF 1898,
there were 80 which bettered their
position over the first six months last
year, either by reducing or reversing
deficits registered In 1882 or by in
creasing their net income. Statisti-
clans assert that the significance of
these results lies in the fact that during
the first three months business was very
nearly at . standstill.
Among the companies which scored
better earnings in the first half of 1888
together with the percentage advance
over the first half Of 1932-were: Chesa-
peake & Ohio. 18 per cent; Congoleum
Nairn, ITS per cent: Corn Products Re-
fining. rs per cent: Dome Mines, Ltd, 81
per cent: Kroger Grocery. So per cent;
National Tea, 270 per cent: Penick q
Ford, 154 per cent; United Fruit, 36 per
cent.
Gap Still Remains.
That there has been q lag between
production and consumption Is freely
admitted In both business and govern
mental quarters. According to the index
table Of the Department Of Labor. pro-
duction by factories during April and
May this year-latest available statistics
-rose Is point, while employment rose
| only 80 points. Since that time. how
ever. employment has enjoyed q substan-
! tial advance.
The Administrations broad drive to
secure employers acceptance of the
blanket code covering minimum wages
| and maximum hours is designed to close
the gap between production and the
consuming power Of the country as q
| whole.

PLAN TO SAVE
WORLD OFFERED
Sweeping Proposals Made
to People of Nations by
Committee of 20.
BIZ LMitcd Press

By GHitcd Press
CHICAGO, Jan. 16.-A plan de-
signed to save the world from eco
nomic ruin was submitted today by
committee of twenty prominent
men for approval of the peoples of
the nations.
The program proposes a four-year
universal arms holiday, scaling
down of war debts owed the United
States and their payment in cash,
totaling $1,250,000,000, within four
years, cancellation of other inter
allied war debts, and a progressive
pro rata reduction of ornaments to
aggregate so per cent reduction
by the end Of the arms holiday.
The plan was drafted by Salmon
o. Levinson, Chicago lawyer and
peace prepayment whose ideas were
incorporated in the kellogg BRAND
pact to outlaw war. 1t is subscribed
to by business men, educators, law
yers and professional and civic lead
ers of Chicago and the middle west.
A saving of more than 100000, 900
year for each of the four years of
the holiday and of at least half
that amount annually thereafter is
promised the United States by the
plan. Corresponding savings to other
nations are promised by proponents.

PEIPING, Jan. 16.-ChineSe Off
Gals feared today that the japanese
were planning an advance from the
Great Wall toward Tientsin, al
though the ShanhaikWan area was
quiet, and there was little activity
outside the wall.
The fears were based on reports
from General Ho Chu Kuo, COM

Shanhaikwan
Heavy Chinese concentrations
We're reported along the 100-mile
railway from Tientsin to Shanhaik-
wan.
japanese were concentrating at
Suichung and ChinchoW, and it was
believed here that the japanese
would attempt to drive the Chinese
to the Tientsin side of the Ian
river.

nese accepted the challenge of

wall, including Kailu and Tungliao
Skirmishes, but no important en-
gagements, were reported between
Chinese and Manchoukuo patrols

The killers victim was George

route to Kokomo in search of work
In presence of his wife and

was pushed from between a tender
and mail coach of a west bound
train early Saturday by a club
welding man who attacked him
suddenly.
Gray toppled onto the gravel

Tor several hours.
CrawlS Mile for Aid
Then, suffering from a broken
ankle and knee, four rib fractures
and a punctured lung, Gray, in
desperation, crawled nearly mile
to the National road, where he was
picked up by a motorist.
Rushed to Greenfield, he was
given emergency treatment, then
sent to indianapolis by ambulance.
His wife, Mrs. Lena Gray, living in
Kokomo with relatives, was sum-
moned and arrived the Indian
apolis hospital before her husband
died.
Gray said he had mounted the
passenger train in Cincinnati, and
that he talked with the engineer
and fremen.
Showed From Train
After the train passed Greenfield.
Gray said he started toward the
rear of the train. He had climbed
over the coal tender and was de-
scending to the coupling of the
first car when he heard shout.
He said his aSSailant was clinging
to the ladder of coal car. Because
of the noise, Gray was unable to
distinguish words of the man. He
dropped onto the lower shelf of the
car, he said. The assailant shouted
again, but the words were unin-
telligible, Gray said.
Without warning, the man struck
at Gray with a heavy object. Gray
lost his balance and plunged to the
ground.
Physicians said Grays fingers and
toes were lacerated and raw from
crawling.

MOSCOW, Jan. 16.-Authorities
today estimated 100000 persons in
Moscow would be expelled from the
city, and forced to take up residence
elsewhere, under the new passport
decree requiring every citizen to

The exodus already has begun,
hundreds of persons seeing no way
to prevent expulsion when the
time comes, and preferring to de-
part of their own volition.
But these departures are insig-
nificant compared with the compul-
sorry exodus to come, authorities
said They feared the order would
create a staggering transportation
problem.
The government issued detailed
instructions today revealing persons
refused passports would be obliged
to depart within ten days at their
own expense.
The instructions indicated the
first expulsion orders would be is

Chinese Prepare for War

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16-Coinci-
dent with rumors that the League
of Nations, whose committee of
nineteen meets today at Geneva, is
preparing to whitewash Japan's an
neXation of Manchuria, the writer
has direct news of startling devel-
opments in China.
DisilluSioned and embittered by
what they believe to be the camou-
flaged plan of some of the great
powers to give Japan free rein north
of the Great Wall, if not farther

vowed to give his life, if need be
in defending China against further
encroachment.
Give Up Hope in League
This information comes from
sources close to the young marshal
and dovetails with private cor
roborative cables from TientSin
Marking and Shanghai.
Having abandoned practically the
last shred of hope that the white
mans much Wanted peace machine
would protect their territory from
deliberate aggression, China is
pictured as uniting to defend itself

A repetition of what happened al
Shanghai when the ill-equippeo
Chinese army successfully defended
the city against far superior forces
is to be expected if the japanese
drive into Jehol continues.
The Chinese claim to have in
formation that the japanese have
10000 troops within striking dis
lance of Jehol. The Chinese forces
in that region are estimated at be-
tween 100000 and 10000, but they
are less we'll equipped.
Drive Wedge Westward
The plan of the japanese gen.
eral staff is said to be to drive a
wedge westward along the Great
wall in a movement converging on
.Jehol, capital of the province, from
the direction of Chinchow, Suichung
and Shanhaikwan.
After thus cutting the Chinese
forces in two, the plan would be to
prevent reinforcementS coming up
from the. south while the japanese
"mopped up the terrain to the
north.

this scheme, the writer is informed
the Chinese are ready TO fight to
the last. The bankers, merchants
and other guilds are said to be or
ganizing to defend their country in

of history.
Women are said to be taking part
and money is flowing into the war
chest, even from the humblest
coolies.
