BY the Associated Press

by the Associated Press.

m1nistration's plan for sweeping slashes
IN veteran expenditures was considered
today by veteran organization officials

American War Veterans, the United
SCanish War Veterans, the Disabled
Emergency officers Association, and
the Veterans of Foreign Wars.
At another conference with Douglas
today. the organizations discussed
changes in the program, which it was
said would go the entire limit" in
pairing down veteran expenditures.
No definite figure of the total cuts
contemplated in the plan has been ar
rived at out of the more than 40 pages
Of the plan. Veteran organization
officials described as conservative" the
unofficial estimates that the cuts might
total $400,000,000 or $425, 100000.
Disability Cuts Due.
While details of the plan have not
been made public there have been sug-
gestions that disability benefits granted
for non-service connected disabilities
except those of a total and permanent
nature would be entirely eliminated.
To add to the cuts it has been sug-
gested that even allowances for service
connected disability would have to take
a 10 or Is per cent cut.

INVASION OF CHINA
Says Attacks Along Wall
May Bring Extension of
Occupation.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CIANGCHUN, Manchuria, March
3l.-Lieut Gen. Kuniaki Koiso, chief
| of staff of the japanese armies in
Manchuria and reputed brains" of the
Jehol campaign, told the Associated
Press today that continuing sporadic
Chinese attacks along the Great Wall Of
China were only resulting in wanton
and wholesale sacrifice of Chinese lives
and may bring on an extension of the
Japanese occupation into North China
proper.
Asked whether the japanese army
could avoid occupation of Peiping if the
attacks continued, Gen. Koiso said:
1t is impossible to ignore such chal-
lenges. But at the same time We must
consider the international factors in
volved in the possible occupation of
Pieping, as we'll as the risk to lives of
japanese. foreigners, and peaceful
Chinese residents of the old capital" "
(There are 700 American civilians and
500 United States Marines in. PeipingD
Chinese Strength Estimated.
Gen. Koiso estimated 10000 Chinese
troops are Immediately southwark of
the Great Wall, in addition to $4,000
west and south of Shanhaikwan, and
40, 900 in Peiping and Tientsin, totaling
about five times the japanese strength
in Jehol.
The general headquarters here on
the japanese forces was informed that
Gen. Tang Yu-Lin, the ouSted Chinese
Governor of Jehol. escaped to Kalgan, a
Mongolian city about $50 miles west of
Jehol City. Ae abandoned 10000 fol-
lowers who were being pushed north
westward by the japanese in the direc-
tion of Tolun, Chahar. This is ITO miles
northwest of Jehol City.
Along the Jehol-C Chahar border, the
japanese and Chinese forces are face
to face but no major engagements have
been reported.
occupy Peiping," said Gen. Koiso, the
Chinese army will be responsible"
Defenders Well Equipped.
He said the professed Chinese hopes
of retaking Jehol were futile and fan
tastic because the Japanese defenders
at the Wall were so formidably en-
planted and equipped that it would be
impossible to dislodge them.
The heaviest sacrifice Of Chinese
lines, he said, was along the eastern
end of the Great Wall between Hsifen-
kow and Chiehlingkow, one of the i'm
portant passes, and northwest of Shan

The Great Wall situation is abso-
lutely under japanese control" said
