REDS IN MOSCOW
ACCUSED BY TOXIC
Japan Charges Third Inter.
rationale Is Fomentinq
Trouble in Manchukuo.
Nv the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
TOXIC, August 27.-The Japanese
government charged today that the
Third Internationale Is responsible
for fomenting from Moscow intrigues
against Japan involving train wrecks
in Manchukuo on the Chinese Eastern
Railway.
This was the latest blast in the
conflict of propaganda Japan and
Manchukuo are waging with the
Soviet, while each party awaits signs
of the others weakening in dead
locked negotiations for Japan's pur-
chasing of the railroad from Russia.
A foreign Office spokesman said 80
Soviet employees of the railroad ar
rested In Manchukuo will be tried in
two sets on charges of train wreck
ings and intrigues against Manchu-
kuo and Japan, at the beheSt of the
Third InternatiQnale.
Some of their confessions showed
involvement of the Third Interna-
tionale according to official informa-
ton reaching Toxic" he asserted.
Other Arrests Forecast.
A spokesman indicated the arrests
which totaled 70 according to latest
newspaper dispatches-might con-
tinue, depending upon whether alleged
confessions of those now held involved
others.
Meanwhile, the Toxic foreign Office
learned that some high Soviet officials
of the c. E. r. are packing their
bags" 1t was not known whether
this was due to fears of drastic
action by Japan and Manchukuo. or
If Moscow intends to change ,ts
| representatives in the hope of better
ing the situation.
Exchanges. protests and threats
between Toxic and Moscow apparently
have reached the stage where each is
merely pigeon-holing the others pro-
tests and shooting back some form of
counter blast without the usual diplo-
matte niceties of formal acknowledge
ments and replies.
Troops Are Not Involved.
That the conflict is in no immediate
danger of passing from the stage of
newspaper attacks and foreign office
statements was the opinion of
authoritative non-Japanese military
experts.
They agreed that there are no In
dications Japanese troops are moving
from Japan to Manchukuo or within
Manchukuo itself toward Siberian
borders.
Showing that the Soviet and Man
chukuo are able to agree on some
questions, their joint waterways COM
mission has reached an agreement
scheduled for signing tomorrow. pro-
viding for channel markings at

What's What
Behind News
In Capital
Midsummer Business
II Per Cent Below
Seasonal Drop.
RY PAIL MALLON.

IF ANY ONE asks you how business
has been during the last so days,
don't tell him.
Just say that a difficult Summer
has been made much more diff
cult by the unforeseen drought and
strikes and that September improve
ment is now at hand. The extent of
the improvement is impossible to esti-
mate accurately and much depends on
how much money the Government is
going to spend.
The balanced monthly business
chart shows the existing situation very
clearly. Industrial production fell of
seven points more than seasonal in
July and is off probably two points
more in August. Employment declined
only halt as much as production, but
wages felt almost the full measure of
the blow.
Spreading Work.
The manufacturers apparently are
spreading the smaller amount of work
on a part-time basis to ease the effect
of the decline on employment. But
there is also evidence of little wage
cutting on the side, although you can
not say exactly where.

EIGHT OPPOSE SINCLAIR.
Party Complications Possible In
California Results.

California Results.
SAN FRANCISCO, August 81 (P).-
Bewildering ballots In which TOO can
didates criss-cross party lines con-
front California voters as IS guber-
material aspirants complete a bitter
campaign for nominations in tomor-
rows primary.
Upton Sinclair, Socialist writer, was
the center of controversy in Demo-
cratic ranks. Voters themselves have
largely financed his campaign by pur-
chase of his books on how to End
Poverty in California" and by paid
admissions to his political rallies.
Sinclair has eight competitors on
the ballot, but some of these have
withdrawn from the race. His leading
opponent is George Creel, San Fran
cisco, who as head Of the Committee
for Public Information" directed
American propaganda for President
Wilson during the late war. Next
behind Creel is Justus Wardell Of
San Francisco, long State Demo-
cratic leader.
Three Sided Contest.
The contest for the Republican
nomination for Governor is three
sided. Acting Gov. Frank F. Mer-
riam, who stepped up from the lieu
tenant governorship a few months
ago on the death of Gov. James
Rolph, jr.. is pointing to his record
of recent weeks, particularly his ham
ding of problems in the coast long
shoremen's strike, which brought
three-day mass strike in San Fran
cisco.
Former Gov. c. c. Young, defeated
by Rolph for denomination in 1880,
is campaigning as the man who left
$31 100000 in the State Treasury.
John R. Quinn, former State COM
mander of the American Legion, is
threat to both of them.
Raymond L. Haight Of Los Angeles,
former State corporation commits
sioner, is registered as a member of
the commonwealth party and Is sure
of its nomination for Governor, but
he also Is seeking the Republican and
Democratic nominations. Milen G.
Dempster of San Francisco is sole
candidate for the Socialist nomina-
tion.
johnson on Four Tickets.
Sam Darcy of San Francisco heads
ticket the Communist party has
placed in the field
The greatest CLOSER of party lines
among the 700 primary candidates is
United States Senator Hiram John
son, Progressive Republican, who is
seeking four nominations-Republi-
can, Democratic, Progressive and Com
monwealth. Political commentators
agree he will get all of them, but the
size of the protest" vote agains the
veteran Senator will be watched with
interest.
For the first time in quarter CEN
tury, Democratic registrations out
number Republicans in California.
The 3,062,317 registrations include
1,494,111 Democrats and 1,418,826
Republicans.
Besides selecting nor,inees for Gov
ernor and Senator, voters will ballot
on congressional and State officers.

PARIS. August 27-Mrs. Sinclair
Lewis-who as Dorothy Thompson,
newspaper woman, was asked to
leave" Germany-is going to Saar-
bruecken Thursday to find out what
is going on in the Saar region.
She said today she would rather
be in Vermont" but that she is plan
ming to spend several days in Saar-
bruecken, then go to London and sail
for home September on the Levia-
than.
II still have not fathomed why I
was kicked out of Germany" she said,
but then, it isn't anything other die
tators have not done to correspond
ents. They simply aren't so clever
about it in Germany"
The American woman said that in
her opinion Germany 'is becoming
the most comfortable and most hy-
pienic prison in the world" Miss
Thompson arrived in Paris yesterday,
the day after secret police in Berlin
asked her to leave the country imme-
diately.
The request, she said, 'is evidently
a part of a campaign of terrorism
against foreign correspondents" but
apparently was based on an inter-
view she had with Adolf Hitler in
1881, before he became chancellor.
Hitler is no longer a man, he is
a religion" she assertd.
Perhaps my expulsion Is direct
application of the system of Propa-
ganda Minister Goebbels," she con-
tinued. HE thinks the best way to
conciliate foreign opinion is to sup
press all information about Germany
which does not emanate from him"
Miss Thompson's case attracted
wide interest here and many news
paper men interviewed her when she
arrived. She had memorized ver-
batim the letter asking her to leave.
The German propaganda ministry
said Miss Thompson was not "ex-
pelled," but "she was only advised
to leave"

NEW DEAL FACING
SHOWDOWN VOTE.
Three State Primaries To-
morrow to Give Further
Light on Trend.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Accepted as straws, showing the
way in which the wind is blowing
about the new deal, primaries will be
held tomorrow in California, Mississip-
pi and South Carolina.
Senator Hiram johnson, Republican
independent supporter of President
Roosevelt. is generally rated the win
ner of both Democratic and Republic
can nominations for Senator in Cali
fornia.
The Democratic race for the guber-
material nomination, however, in
which Upton Sinclair, Farmer-Social-
ist, is a prominent candidate, has ad-
ministration leaders worried. They
fear that if he is nominated the re-
action among old-line Democrats
might bring defeat Of the IL Demo-
cratic House members in November.
Senator Hubert Stephens, up for
Democratic denomination in MiSSis-
sippi, has three opponents-former
Gov. Theodore G. Bilbo and Repre-
sentative Ross Collins and State Sena-
tor Frank Harper. The nomination
is equivalent to election.
South Carolina does not elect a
Senator this year, but will nominate
several Representatives, Governor and
other State officers. Here, too, nomi-
nation is tantamount to election.

that I had some excellent caviar for

approval of some of the gentlemen
of the Russian legation. But on its
being served to members of Congress,
the precaution of getting them to
take a little first not having been
observed, they took such great guam
titles, thinking it was black raspberry
jam, that it was soon exhausted.
Very few of them liked it, but spit it
out very unceremoniously as thing
exceptionally nasty. The sturgeon is
caught by simply letting a large hook
with a line into the stream, against
which when he rubs himself by a
sudden jerk you haul him out of the
water. There are some that weigh
as much as 200 pounds"

So matters stood when the Presi-

1t was because of this undetermined

Break Is Healed.
He saw johnson again and the
break was healed. He did insist, how
ever. that the general take two weeks

parted for the beach. At the end of
the two weeks he will see the Presi-
dent at Hyde Park, and they will set
tie details of the new N. r. A. set-up.
And in it the fiery soldier will have
first rank.
This does not mean a break be-
tween Rlchberg and the PRESIDENT, or
between Miss Perkins and the Presi-
dent. In her own field, Mr.. Roosevelt
highly regards the Secretary of Labor
He greatly admires Richberg, and will
have other work for him should he
retire from N. R. A. He even is said
to have him in mind for elevation,
some day, to the Supreme Court.
For johnson. it means he will be
staying on when he. had been plan
ming for months to get out. Because
of the demands of his private business
and because he has completed the
particular phase of N. r. A. which led
him to take the job, he has been ask
ing for release. The President, ap-
parently, was ready to agree.
But neither liked the manner of his
going as it shaped up during the past
week. So he stays.

Pheasants Found
Beyond Eastern Branch.
"Of other birds there is a great

none that sing so agreeably. Beyond
the Eastern Branch there is a bird
called here and in the Alps a pheas-
heath fowl. The feathers of its belly
are streaked like those of the hawk,
it has a fan tail, a short, thick beak
and feathers on the legs.
"One of the most interesting ami
mails found in this neighborhood is
the tree frog, which is a small size
and lives on the hickory and tulip
branches in the daytime, but at night
descends to enjoy the rain and dew.
The back is covered with irregular
streaks and resembles piece of rock
with blotches of white moss upon it.
The insides of its hind legs are striped
with brown and yellow Of great
brilliancy. Its eyes are like those of
other frogs, as are its feet, except
that they have a glutinous quality
which enables them to cling even to
pane of glass, up which they can
crawl They have little joints like
nails at the extremities of their feet.
