JAPANESE ARE
 VERY CLOSE TO
 CITY OF PEIPINC
Within Six Miles of That Place and Ars Steadily Closing in for Final Clash
By HERBERT R. EkINS United Press Stan Correspondent

Peiping, May 2-UP)-Jap- anese troops, closing in on Peiping. old northern capital of China. ar rived today within six miles of Tungchow-almost suburb of Peiping, barely 10 miles to the east, on the north, the Japanese were twenty miles away.
 As the troops advanced, relations between Chinese and Japanese officials grew worse.
 Chinese soldiers at Peiping Sum- day night refused to recognize the credentials of Shoichi Nakayama, Japanese charge d'affaires. and { Colonel Nagatsu, Japanese military attache, who were on their way home.
 Nagatsu went to barracks, form ed a guard of IS men. and was ready to proceed to the head quarters of General Ho Ying-Chin, Chinese war minister, to demand satisfaction. He apologized. Nagat- su, when he received the apology. warned Ho that serious conse- quences might result because oi the 'insincerity"' of Chinese off- cials in carrying out their obliga- ton to protect Japanese civilians.
 The new advance, coming after weekend talk of a truce that would end hostilities and lead to formation of a demilitarized zone between China proper and the Jap anese fostered state of Manchou- kuo, followed the return of Haung Flu, Chinese government represent ative. from Miyun-Shien, where he conferred with Japanese represent atives in a futile effort to end the invasion.
 Shoichi Makayama. charge d'af- faires of the Japanese legation ments had intensified the crisis at Peiping. and that early evacuation of Japanese nationals in North China to the legation quarter of Peiping was inevitable.
 One complicating factor was the attack of a Chinese on a sentinel at the Peiping legation barracks. An other was a series of bomb explo- sions at Tientsin. These incidents intensified the apparent Japanese intention to seize control of Peiping and Tientsin.
 Nakayama announced, as the climax of the weekend develop nients that he would send note t0 Ho, demanding an explanation of the presence of the S3d and S7th divisions of Chinese troops in the south western section of the so- called Tartar City in Peiping. where a majority of the Japanese and many other foreign reside.
 Nakayama said the presence of these troops in ePiping while anti Japanese sentiment was strong precipitated grave crisis.

MILESTONE FOR
 THE HOUSE OF
 MORGAN WEARS
Tomorrow the Senate
 Banking Comm i tt e e Will Begin Probe Into
 Affairs of That Concern

Washington, May 22- (UP)- Tomorrow marks a milestone for the house of Morgan-the opening of the senate banking committees inquiry into the famous partner ship, and the first public peek since 1913, behind the carefully guarded financial operations that have made it one of the most powerful banking houses in the world.
 J. P. Morgan, head of the firm will be the first member to face Ferdinand ecora, committee counsel. Twenty years ago his father faced house money trust" investigators. To that inquiry the federal reserve act was due in part.
 Under the expanded powers granted Pecora, he will be able to delve more deeply than the ex- aminers of two decades ago. And after the present head of the Mor- gan dynasty will come the partners of the f1rm-each an expert in some branch of finance and each reputed to draw at least $1,000,O00 a year. They include Thomas w.. Lamont, and s. Parker Gilbert, former agent general of repara- tions.
 The exact line Pecora will pur- sue is, unknown, but truckloads of records have been shipped here, the fruits of weeks of industrious digging. It is the "big chance" for the former assistant district attor- ney of Manhattan, who may. per- haps get from it nomination for mayor of New York city.
 After the Morgans, Pecora will investigate the activities of Kuhn, Loeb and Co.,, represented by Otto H. Kahn, and Dillon Read & Co.
 Albert H. Wiggin, former head of the Chase National Bank by order of the Rockefellers, will complete this phase of the inquiry, expected to extend well into July.

 The United States offer to cast | off it's traditional isolation if the heavily-armed European nations scrap offensive weapons was re- garded as a call which it will be difficult for France not to answer. The American promise not to remain neutral in event of inva- sion was met in advance by Ger many, who withdrew her objection to standardized armies, thereby making a treaty possible if France is willing to reduce armaments. The French, however, quickly pointed out that the offer contains an important reservation which might defeat any attempt to halt aggression by collective interna- tional sanctions, If Washington re- fuses to concur in the judgment oi other nations regarding responsi- bility for aggression. The Germans and Italians were generally pleased. Baron Pompeo Aloisi of Italy, following Davis, briefly pointed out the similarity between the Italian and United States disarmament policies. He said Italy entirely agreed with the
 necessity for abolishing offensive weapons.
 Although he said the British plan, which the United States &C., cepted, involved heavy Italian sa- crifices, Italy is willing to adopt the plan without modification if other delegations do likewise. However, he regretted that "the discussions so far have given the impression that our offer will not be followed" Italy therefore may be forced to ask for notifications if other nations maintain theirs, he added.
 Sir John Simon expressed Brit aims "warm and sincere apprecia- tion" of Davis speech. Referring to the general approval of the British plan, he said, ''now is the time to cash checks already drawn.
 Paul-Boncour, the next speaker, accepted the British plan as a basis of discussion.
 He proposed that the general | commission start tomorrow on a chapter-by chapter debate on the project, beginning with security, which runs counter to Davis sug-
 
 dealing with her materials, be talk en up first.
 "Mr Davis said what he hoped he would say" Paul-Boncour de- clared. However. he added that besides a consultative pact, the first chapter of the draft convention contains provisions for European pacts of mutual assistance which 1t is now necessary to study because France considers it an essential part of the plan." and one on which French reductions would be based.
 Francisco Castillo Najera of Mexico welcomed the Roosevelt and Davis proposals.
 We are ready to cooperate modestiy and sincerely to support the proposals" he said

 caught the Mitchell forces by sur prise, because the secretary said last week that he had been told of the deal by the Mitchells, and gave the inference that he had been told at the time the stock was "sold".
 His testimony had a direct bear ing on the genuineness of the stock sale, which the government claims was a sham and subterfuge" made solely for the purpose of establish ing a stock market loss on Mitch ellis $3,500,000 income in 1929.
 As the witness persisted in his declaration that not until April 2 1880. did he know anything at all about the transaction, Steuer, man. ifestly disturbed, prodded him with rapid-f1re questions about his evil dence of last Friday.
 "And please don't volunteer tes- timony I have not asked for" he warned.
 Cross examining the former sec retary, who is still employed by the National City Bank as a "sec- retary without portfolio" Steuel brought out that the transaction between MT. and Mrs. Mitchell was completed late in Dec. 1929.
 On April 1, letter from Morgan and Co.,, who held the stock in their vaults as collateral against a loan of $6,0OOs0O0 to Mitchell, not flied Mitchell that he owed tho Morgans $59,S10.50 interest on the loan.
 The interest was paid. the wit. ness testified, on April 2, by Nit chell, after he had received 8 City Bank Farmers Trust company, for the exact amount of the inter- est due.
 "Until that time" Sweeney said T knew nothing at all about the transaction"
 He testified later that Mitchell instructed him that on subsequent interest payments, he was to get g check from his wife, drawn on the amount, and deposit 1t to Mitchell's account, after which Mitchell would pay the interest by personal check.
 The inference was that through out the transaction. Morgan and Company still considered the stock owned by Mitchell and did not know he had sold 1t to his wife.
 It is the governments conten. ton that since Morgan and Com pany were in ignorance of the sale 1t was not bona-fide.
 Sweeney was excused after testi- flying to various memoranda left with him by Mitchell. relating to stock sale to Mrs Mitchell, the var ious amounts of interest paid by her. the insurance premiums she paid on Mitchell's policies. and the various gifts" made to her by Mitchell. supposedly to cover these disbursements.

BLAINE MAY
GET JOB BACK
Authorship Of Repeal Bill
Aid in Governors Race
is View
By WILLARD r. SMITH
United Press Staff Correspondent

MADISON. Wis, March O.
(UP).-Senator John ]. Blaine's
authorship of the prohibition re-
peal resolution adopted by con-
gress was relied upon today by
his supporters to return him to
the governorship of Wisconsin
in 1884.
The senator, who is a power
full figure in the progressive Re-
publican faction of Wisconsin,
was retired by regular Republi-
can sweep in the primary cleo
tion preceding the Democratic
landslide last fall. Before that
retirement became effective this
month, Blaine achieved the am
bition of establishing himself as
the wet leader of the United
States senate.
IF you want beer. vote for
John j. Blaine for United States
Senator" proclaimed full-page
advertisements which appeared
here on the eve of Blaine's nom-
nation in 1926 while he still was
governor. During his six years
in the senate he attempted to
make good on that platform.
or course, success of the pres
ent Democratic administration of
Gov. Albert G. Schmedeman is a
factor to be considered. But
Blaine's friends contend that he
has made friends in the wet
ranks outside his own faction.
ALREADY they are lining up key
men for the 1884 campaign, con-
ndent that the author of. the
prohibitio nrepeal resolution met
the TfI: wishes of a wet majority of
Wisconsin voters.

BONUS FOES IN A
NEW VET ATTACK
Veterans Must Answer
With Struggle

NEW YORK. - Slandering hun
dreds of thousands of ex-service-
men, whom he called "swivel-chair
veterans" Colonel julius Ochs Adler,
one of the leaders of the recently or
ganized American Veterans Associa-
ton, in radio address over Station
WIZ demanded that the government
refuse to pay the bonus till 1945 and
that more than 100000 disabled vet
Grams be deprived of the paltry com.
pensation they are now getting.
Colonel Adler's speech was an
other shot in the campaign, inspired
by Wall Street bankers and led by
such organizations as the Nationa.
Economy League, In which leading
republicans and democrats are COOP
Grating, against the men who riskeo
life and limb to swell Wall Streets
profits.
The American Veterans Associa-
ton, which claims members in Il
states, is composed largely of officers
and well-to-do veterans. The over
whelming majority of the more thar
100000 bonus holders, thousands Of
whom are unemployed, are solidly
in favor of bonus payment now and
against any cuts In disability allow
ances. Around these demands and
the demands for local relief for job
less vets a real united front move
ment is being built under the direc-
ton of the committee of five elected
at the bonus marchers' conference In
Washington Dec. 8.
