RUSSIAN
TENSION GAINS
AlIege Further Agitation
for Seizure of {. E. r.
Railroad

MOSCOW. Oct. 9.-(UP).-
Russian-Japanese diplomatic rela-
tions, already embittered, became
more intense yesterday when Rus
STA formally charged that high
Japanese officials plotted to seize
the Chinese-Eastern railway of
which Russia is part owner.
Russia published four docu-
ments purporting to reveal Japa-
nese representatives in Manchou-
kuo planned to arrest Russian rail-
way officials who had mentioned
seizure of the railway.
Publication of the documents
made good the Soviet govern
ment's threat to do so unless To-
kio ceased alleged agitation in
Manchuria for the seizure by
Manchoukuo of the Chinese Eas-
tern line. .
The documents alleged that
Japanese representatives in Har-
bin helped plan the arrests of So
Wet officials in the c. E. K. One
referred to the possible seizure
of the railroad" and summarized
a conference between japanese
and Manchoukuo officials in which
it was decided, the document said,
to raid the Soviet railway offices
and arrest the officials. ,
Two other documents detailed
the development of the plans.

Nurse Confuses
Son, Grandson
Born Same Day

CORUNA, Spain, Oct. 9. (UP).
A mother and her daughter gave
birth to two healthy youngsters
in the same hospital on the same
day within short time of each
other. A nurse placed the chill
dren in separate baskets but when
she wanted to return them 20
their mothers, she found that she
couldn't distinguish one from the
other.
Thus the daughter didn't know
whether she was nursing her own
child or her brother. The mother
didn't know whether she was nurs,,
ing her son or her grandson. And
the daughters irate husband
didn't know whether he was pass
ing out cigars for his son or his
brother-in-law.
The confusion resulted in heat
ed arguments. Hospital authorl-
ties declined to reveal how the
muddle was Strengthened out.
