JAP CABINET
CRISIS IS NEAR
Overthrow of Present Gov.
eminent Anticipated in
Some Quarters
BY MILES w. VAUGHN
United Press Staff Correspondent

TOXIC, Japan, Jan. 20.-(UP).
Overthrow Of the present govern
ment headed by Premier Admiral
Viscount Saito despite pleas for
unity at home in the face of dis
turbances abroad, was believed
probable, as deputies to the Gath
session Of the imperial diet gath
cred in the capital for the session
which opens Saturday.
The cabinet approved Foreign
Minister Yasuya Uchida's modi-
fications of proposals by Sir Eric
Drummond, secretary-general of
the League Of Nations, for set
Ting the Chinese-Japanese dispute
in Manchuria. The Seiyukai Top
position) party, however, holding
strong representation in the lower
house, remained aloof and critical
Of the Saito ministry's program in
China and at home. Their opposi-
lion during the diet session may
cause the Saito Cabinet to resign.
The premier found some con-
ISOLATION in the attitude Of the
Mineseito, minority party head
ed by Forme: Premier Baron Re-
iiiro Wakatsuki, who declared the
present regime should be permit
ted to continue as long as the ma
ton is menaced abroad.
The approval Of Emperor Hiro-
hito, youthful ruler of Japan. of
Foreign Minister Uchida's plans
submitted yesterday, also was
seen as a strong point in Premier
Saito's favor. If he can retain
the emperor's support, his future
politically is assured, it was en-
phasized.
DR.. Keno Adatchi, leader of
the Kokumin Domei group, was
expected to be among the sharpest
critics of the Saito administration
during the coming troublesome
session. Adatchi, home minister
in the Wakatsuki cabinet, wreck
ed that ministry by resigning on
the gold standard issue a year
ago.
Adatchi now proposes to over
throw the cabinet system Of gov
eminent and substitute a sort of
state council rule.
Premier Saito organized the
present cabinet after the assassi-
nation of the aged premier Inukai
last May. Even then, however, it
was not certain that activities of
extreme nationalist who were ac-
cused of engineering the assissina-
ton had been curbed.
Aside from trouble Of nations
and in Washington, the Saito min
istry faces a crisis in domestic af-
fairs, particularly on the program
of relief to the farmers. Farm
riots in recent years have been in
creasingly dangerous.

Democrats See No Hope For
Legislative Program At
Short Session

" Wv JdsAs ~. WI ,
| The White House issued a state
ment today after the conference
! between President Hoover and
| President elect Roosevelt, AL
nOuncing that the new admins
tration will be prepared TO discuss
! debts and Il world economic con-
ference with Grea. Britain early
in March.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. (UP)
President elect Roosevelt and
Democratic congressional leaders
virtually washed their hands last
night of the present session of
congress as a means of achieving
the party's legislative program.
Roosevelt was convinced by
leaders who called upon hir+- taSs
night in Il continual procession
las ing eight hours that there is
no hope from the present congress
sional session, chiefly because OF
the jam which the Huey Long fill
buster has prccipirated in the
senate. :
They decided that an extra ses-
sion must be called soon after
March 1 TO begin work anew laon
the problems awaiting solution.
including farm relief. beer ami
18th amendment repeal and tax
alton.
Roosevelt urged every effort to
salvage as much of his program
as possible, but leaders presented
very dark outlook.
In the conferences which began
soon after the president-elect ar
rived here a. 4 p. m. and con-
tinued until midnight. Roosevelt
emphasized his desire that the re-
peal resolution follow the Demo-
cratic platform for outright re-
peal. This would mean diScarding
of the conditional repeal resolu-
ton now pending in the senate
which follows the Republican
platform.
AS for farm relief, it was found
there was so much disagreement
in the senate on the domestic al
, lotment plan that the whole meas
ure may have to be rewritten in
the special session.
Leaders very frankly told Shz
preSident-eleet that whatever they
do with the farm relief bill now,
it is likely to meet veto by Pres
ident Hoover.
The Huey Long-Carter Glass
feud was discussed during the con-
ferences, mostly in q jocular way.
Both the Louisiana and Virginia
senators saw the president-elect
but not in each others company.
Long came out in his clustering
way and attempted to create the
impression that Roosevelt was for
him. an expression which drew no
confirmation from Roosevelt him.

AKRON WAS RATED SAFE.
Expert Says Craft Was Twice rs Strong

Comdr. Garland Fulton. q naval
lighter -than-air expert. today told the
court of inquiry investigating the dis
aster Of the. Akron that the ship was
twice as strong as the Los Angeles and
three times as strong as the Shenan-
doah.
The Los Angeles is now out of COM

The Shenandoah fell in Ohio in 1925.
Lieut.. Comdr. Ralph G. Pennoyer,
Judge advocate Of the court, questioned
Fulton about the theoretical factors of
safety In the ships construction, elicit
ing statement that the factor of
safety Of the Akron was rated at 20"
in condition where the airship would
be struck by vertical gust Of wind and
at "3 and 4" under any other condi-
tions. He said these high factors Of
safety were based on the elastic proper
ties OF the materials in the ship and
ability to absorb more strain than it
should ever be likely to undergo.
rs it possible to design an airship
to withstand all forces of the atmos-
phere encountered in hisht?" Pennoyer
asked.
Il think can say certainly" Fulton
replied, that we can build an airship
as strong as we like.
1T is difficult to know. though, what
conditions would be encountered It
can always be assumed there are certain
conditions in the atmosphere which
would wreck airships. airplanes, bridges
or other structures"
