BY the Associated Press.

TOXIC, July l7.--HiroShi Saito.
Japanese Ambassador to the United
States, came home today to report to

tude toward Japanese desires for a
greater relative sea power.
The Ambassador was expected to
give advice to officials preparing the
program Japan will present to the

To japanese reporters who met the
Ambassador on shipboard at Yoka-
hama he said the Americans are be-
coming more friendly toward ia
panese aspirations.
IN the past year the American
sentiment toward us has improved
markedly. probably due TO the tes-

tied Manchoukuo and have seen the
benefits of the Japanese Intervention
there" he said.
Shortly after his arrival Saito went
into conference with Koki Hirota,
foreign minister.

CITY COUNCIL PLAN
is ADVANCED HERE
Direct Election of New Unit Sug'
gested to Reorganization
Group.

Creation OF a city council OF from
Z to Is members, to be selected by
direct election, has been suggested as
a part of the proposed revamping of
the District government, William A.
Roberts. peoples counsel said IN
radio address last night.
Roberts is serving with Maj. Daniel
j. Donovan, District auditor, and F.
J. Bailey, representative of Budget
Director Lewis w. Douglas on COM
mittee studying reorganization for the
Senate. Speaking under auspices OF
the Federation of Citizens ASSocia-
tions Roberts last night outlined some
Of the changes suggested to him.
He said that one of the most serious
students of government of the District
suggested that council, If authorized
by Congress, could be given power to
make municipal ordinances and police
regulations, leaving the duties OF ad-
ministration to the present Board of
District Commissioners.
In this connection Roberts reviewed
the work of the Citizens Advisory
Council, set up some years ago by
former Engineer Commissioner j.
Franklin Bell. He said the downfall
of that council was caused by lack
OF cooperation by other civic groups
Roberts also outlined the present di-
vision of authority over recreational
facilities of the District, stating that
child recreation now is controlled by
at least five separate bodies. These
include the playground department. a
welfare body under the Public Build
ings and Public Parks ONCE, the Ma
tional Capital Parks ONCE and Com
munity Center Department.
Roberts asked public comment on
the question Of whether recreation
facilities should be consolidated under
control of the Interior Department or
the District government.

Sanigar Of the University of Penn

in the past six months in the Cancer
Research Institute under the direc-
tion Of Dr. Ellce Mcdonald and Dr.
A, J Allen
The work started, DR.. Sanigar said,
with no idea of looking for differences
between CanCerous and non-cancerous
blood. Instead. it was hoped to
identify a somewhat mysterious sub
stance believed to exist in cancerous
blood.
The spectrosCope was used because
It's technique of breaking a beam Of

the beam shines, even though they
are too minute for detection by
chemical methods.

Prices for wheat will be boosted by

This is not to say that the officials
believe that such thing will happen,
but merely that. on account of the
unstable equilibrium present in the
situation. many things may happen
and they are curious to see how it
will turn out.
As an indication OF the ferment
working In California alone, the bitter
labor clash in the Imperial Valley Is
recalled. That trouble has not yet
been fully composed.
In the line OF agitation for net0
economic methods there may be
cited the rise OF the SO-cdlled
Utopian Society in the Los Angeles
region. The purposes OF this group,
from such reports as haze been had
OF IL, do not appear TO be Uery
clear. bHt IL seems to aim at cor
rection Of the faults in the present
economic system. as seen By its
promoters, bv the better diStribu-
ton OF the eriStino strpluSes OF
commodities OF all kinds.
The exact purposes Of the society.
even If it is itself aware Of them, are
not important at the moment, the
pertinence of its existence being that
it represents dissatisfaction with the
present state of things. And. If
estimates Of its strength are correct,
1t stands for a large element in the
population. 1t was organized only
late in February of this year and its
membership is calculated at 100 900
to 100000,
TechnOcracy Strongly Received.
That California and the Pacific
Coast seem to provide q favorable
ground for the propagation of new
theories is indicated by the manner
in which technocracy took hold there
when it was an exciting topic OF con-
versation and by the fact that sew
eral other economic cults report that
the greatest interest in them has de-
veloped in the Far West.
Taking the labor troubles in con-
nection with the general restlesSneSs
on the part Of the whole population,
as shown by these other features. the
officials referred to are looking upon
California somewhat in the nature
Of laboratory from which curious
and perhaps valuable experiments
may possibly emerge.

PeddIer Joins Search.
Earlier in the day Harry Lee For

for the boy.
Last night, after Mrs. Connor had
identified Forester as the peddler who
called at her home couple OF hours
before curly-headed Bobby" was
missed last Thursday the peddlsr led
police through the woods in a fruit
less search.
Early morning quizzing Of Forester
produced no evidence of value. He
gave vague, incoherent answers. His
explanation Of his movements the day

He has certainly implicated HIM

Movements Retraeed.
In an effort to check accurately the
time elements of Forestier's story, Dis
trict Attorney Frank H. Coyne and
an assistant had the peddler retrace
the route he said he took last Thurs
day.
Authorities want him to give more
definite accounting of what he did
between pm. and pm. that after
noon.
Forester led the two to restaurant
in Main street, Ardsley, where he said
he had eaten at 6 30 Thursday eve

mate shortly after o'clock Thursday

The childs disappearance was re-

spread searches in the East since the
kidnapping Of the Lindbergh baby.
Bobby, his dolls left behind as mute
reminder of his play vanished while
playing in a sand pile.
The heavy thickets behind the Con-
nor home were combed by armies OF
Searchers - without success. Blood
hounds were used, and police drag
net was thrown out in fiVe States.
While troopers and police concen-
trated on the peddler toward the last,
they still chung to the possibility that
the baby had managed TO wander
away in the woods.
Home Near Woods.
The Connor home stands on a
street which backs on an extensive
plot of second growth timber and
brush. While searchers thought they
had looked into almost every sector
and nook and Granny of the nearly
thickets. the child's re-
turn demonstrated they had not been
wrong in feeling he might have be-
come lost.
During the entire time the Connors
held steadfastly to their faith in
their babys safety. Mrs. Connor
kept smiling during the long hours
of the hunt
The babys father had expressed
the belief Bobby might have been
taken away by a childless mother, but
always refused to admit the 2-year-
