NORTH CHINA FEARS

PEIPING, China, September 23.-An
ultimatum to a Chinese irregular gen
eral that he evacuate a city in North
China and reports Of widespread kill
ings and piilage by bandits led tonight
to fears that Japan may reinstltnte
military operations in the North China
demilitarized zone.
A japanese military plane carrying
machine guns dropped leaflets over
this city threatening immediate action
unless Gen. Fang Chen-Wu leave
Huaiju with his 1000 followers. De-
spite the threat, however. Fang and
his army. pledged Ito die for the sal
vation. of our country" remained in
possession of the town, sought recruits
and levied tribute of $4,000 Mexican
dollars from the inhabitants of the
town.
The Fangku truce, which ended the
Sino-Japanese fighting in North China
last May. prohibits the sending of Chi
nese troops into the bandit-rlagued
territory. Thousands Of persons have
been forced to flee for their lives in
the region near Changn, south. Of
F,ning. The latter place was attacked,
burned and sacked yesterday by rowing
bandits. :
Chinese authorities have charged
that the bandits have the support
of Manchukuan agents who seek the

STATE AID ASKED FOR POOR.
Purchase Of Surplus Commodities Ia
Provide Food and Clothes.

6y the Associated PreSS.
The States and the expert commodity
distributors we're called upon yester-
bay by the Federal Relief Administra-
tion to assist in getting help to the
destitute, both at home and afield.
Harry l.. Hopkins, the relief admin
istrator. directed the State agencies to
stand by to distribute the tons of food
stufIs and clothing material that will
come from the purchases Of surplus
commodities.
The 5000, 900 pounds of pork made
available by the hog purchasing opera
ton Of the agricultural adjustment act,
Hopkins told State relief administrators
in a message, was only the beginning
of the assistance IN this form that the
Federal Government could pass to the
destitute families.
Included in the list Of probable other
surplus stores to be tapped by the Fed
eral Government were such staples as
beef. eggs. butter, cotton and cotton
seed products.
Meanwhile, President Roosevelt was
considering the possibility OF adding
coal to the list.
Il believe" Hopkins wrote the State
ADMINISTRATORS, Illdb III every OtdUc

eponsible positions with commercial

tribute their services to your admin
istration for the time required to carry

tartan program
Mailed in His Absence.
These letters were mailed out from
Hopkins Washington Office while the
administrator. in an address at Chicago,
was outlining an attack on poverty
among the hundreds of thousands of
fransients roaming the highways and
railroads.
While the Federal Relief Admins
tration was perfecting its plans Chair
man Jones of the House Agricultural
Committee announced legislation had
been prepared to provide for the pur-
chase and distribution to Red Cross Of
300 ,00G bales of cotton and 40,000,C00
bushels of wheat.
The Red Cross has announced a pre-

vious allotment of 100000 bales of cot
ton and 85,000,000 bushels of wheat
either had been distributed or commit
ted for distribution.
Jones said the Red Cross had dis
posed of the Farm Board wheat and
cotton at minimum cost of distribu-
tion and believed such work should
go on if it was not in conflict with
the operations of the Relief Admins
tration.
President Roosevelt's study of a plan
to include coal in the list of home needs
for the destitute was reflected in word
from Hgzleton, Pa, that representatives
of communities in the anthracite fields
were organizing committee to call on
the President
The meeting was described as hav-
ing been designed to discuss the pos
sible purchase Of from 10 to 80 rfiil-
lion tons of anthracite for Federal re-
lief - - - -
Mr.. Roosevelt to date has given no
estimats Of the amount Of coal the Gov
eminent might purchase If he should
decide to include this plan In the relief
program.

to urge Curry to permit some other
man-possibly Joseph v. Mckee, acting
mayor after James ]. Walker resigned
to replace O'Brien.
g. Intervention Held Logical.
Although the White House announced
yesterday that the President would not
intervene. observers believed that Far

take hand in his capacity as State
and national chairman 1t was pointed
out Farley's Intervention would be
justified. in view of the vital part the
city inevitably plays in the State or

Meanwhile. Mckee. holding a $50
000-a-year position. was pictured as
reluctant to re-enter the political arena.
The Sun said that unless the pressure

against Tammany seems destined to
fade out.

such action became necessary. The re-

Political negotiators still sought q
solution for the situation created by the
demands Of Grau's opponents that he
resign and the refusal of his supporters
to agree to such action. Conferences
were held throughout the day, with some
political circles believing compromise
was not impossible.

Among the days political meetings
was one between the President. his sup
porters and his opposition with neutral
mediators. The session was held at the

guarded by cavalry detacnments.
Subsequently the student directory
Grau's strongest supporters, issued
statement in which they declared; I'VE
do not comprehend why politicians are
not supporting the best and cleanest
government Cuba ever had"
A three-point program was drawn up
as a guide for further sessions. This
included provisions that there must be
no foreign interference, the government
must be non-political and the regime
must proceed with the revolutionary
program.

store demanded payment. the Commu-

Soldiers declined to interfere, the re-

Fred Norcross, American manager OF

negotiations at Santiago with striking
workers at their request. The mines
were closed when the company an
nounced it was unable to meet the
strikers demands.
Norcross tolls the workers there was
nothing more to discuss, but the en-
ployes insisted that their demands be
reconsidered.
Prominent Families Flee.
Several prominent families were said
to have fled from Santiago after re-
ceiving threats Of death unless they
paid protection money. Other reports
said there were evidences Of increasing
restlessness and q number OF soldiers
were deserting.
A general strike was called for Mon

administrator, and had listened to Fed
eral Emergency Relief Director Harry
L. Hopkins explain a plan to corral
every unemployed transient in Federal
Concentration centers' for care and
education and as a relief measure for
local governments not equipped for
handling the hitch-hiking problem.
I'VE are more liberal than any lender
on large scale ever thought of being"
Secretary Ickes declared. but we are
not dropping taxpayers money into the
hat of blind man.
"NiggardIy Stepfather."
He ignored demands that the money
be allocated to State governments to
be used as lotE officials desired, ex-
cept to say:

Ickes insisted the Government was
attempting to make it easy, not diffi-
cult for the cities to participate in the
fund.
Now Up to Mayors.
ut is now largely in the hands of
the mayors to determine whether the
public works program will serve its pur-
pose in aiding the economic recovery
of the country" he said.
Many mayors had demanded alloca-
tion directly through the States. Mayor
Roger w. Harrison of Greensboro, N. c.,
objected to the As cents an hour provi-
sion, saying: Many mayors of my State
say their constituents would rise up and
slay them if they approved projects on
which that wage would be paid to negro
labor"
The Secretary suggested that the
mayors send a subcommittee to Wash
ington to make a study of what his
department is trying to do and to see
for themselves how the allocations are
being handled.
Committee Chosen.
Immediately following the conclusion
of the speech the association announced
that T. Semmes Walnsley Of New Or
leans, newly elected president; Daniel
w. Hoan of Milwaukee, James Curley,
Boston, and Paul V. Betters, secretary.
had been named as members of the
committee suggested by Ickes.
Hopkins said in his speech that hitch
hiking would be combated on Ma
tion-Wide basis, as would bumming on
freight trains.
Authorities will be called on to pick
up transients and turn them over to
Federal authorities" he went on.
Concentration centers will be estab
Ished and in them the transient will
be given new chance in life"
Education" Promised.
Hopkins said that in addition to
proper food, clothing. housing and
medical care. they would be educated
by ,strolling white collar workers, of
whom he said thousands had become
transferts in recent months.
About rs per cent of the thousands
on the road at present" Hopkins said,
ARE victims of the depression, as dis
tinguished from hoboes of long
standing"
Hopkins said there would be prob
ably 100000 families on public relief
rolls this Winter. hundreds Of thousands
taken over from private relief agencies.
