Union Meetings to Act on
Peace Plan to Halt CIeVe-

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Nov. l
U.N.SO ALI indications points
today to a decision by tomorrow
on the A. & P. grocery store con-
troversy in Cleveland.
Only one disturbing note ap-
peared in the situation. which
was one Of general optimism and
hope that both sides in the dis
pute would ratify a seven-point
peace plan offered by the Ma
tional Labor Relations Board at
Washington.
Some concern was felt because
the board of directors of the A.
& P. Company, at a meeting
yesterday in New York, failed to
reach an immediate decision on
the compromise plan, which would
permit immediate reopening Of
the 800 closed A. & P. stores in
Cuyahoga county.
Unions To Confer
Labor officials here planned
union meetings to consider ratifi-
cation of the peace plan. Even
though labor failed to win its
major objective, the closed shop,
feeling was prevalent here that
the unions would approve the
plan.
All the company's 300 Cuyahoga
county stores remained closed and
a small staff of workers remained
at the company warehouses here.
1t was understood, however, that
the warehouse men had been in
structed to halt the preparation
of stock for shipment outside the
city until the compromise plan
either is accepted or rejected.
Mayor Cancels Talk
Outside Cuyahoga county, the
1913 stores which had been served
out of the Cleveland warehouse
continued operations as before.
Their stocks we're received from
other A. & P. warehouses in near
by cities.
Mayor Harry L. Davis, who had
planned to reply last night to the
company's radio charge that the
city administration and the police
failed to give proper cooperation
throughout the controversy, sud.
denly cancelled his speech over a

Recognition of Manchukuo
Might Have Been Forced
BY Direct Oil Talks
BY International News Service

ny lnteFnattOnaI news service
A crafty diplomatic move by
Japan to force American recogni.
tion of the Japanese controlled
state Of Manchukuo was disclosed
today by the State Department.
Acting Secretary of State vii.
liam Phillips revealed that when
the American Embassy at Tokyo
made representations against the
proposed Manchukuo oil mono
poly, the Japanese government
suggested that the United States
take the matter up directly with
the Manchukuo government.
Tokyo took the attitude that
Manchukuo was an independent
sovereign state and that if the
western powers we're concerned at
any measures taken within that
empire, they should communicate
directly with the Manchukuo gov.
ernment.
Suggestion Declined
This would be tantamount to
de jure recognition Of that puppet
empire, and this Government, Mr..
Phillips disclosed, flatly declined
to comply.
Mr.. Phillips also disclosed that
this Government has no inten-
tion of relaxing it's efforts on be.
half of the American oil COM
panies likely to be affected by the
proposed oil monopoly. He said
this Government already has no
titled Tokyo that it considers the
proposed monopoly would be in
conflict with the open door policy
in China and intimated that fur.
ther representations will be made
to Tokyo if the monopoly becomes
effective.
Hits Open Door
Under the proposed monopoly
the Manchuria Oil Company, a
Japanese controlled firm, would
have the sole right to sell and dis
tribute oil in Manchuria.
The monopoly would render use

American and other foreign oil
firms have gone to great expense

MOTHER TELLS
Of LOVE FOR
GLORIA
Mrs. Vanderbilt Claims Girl
"InfIuenCed" Against Her.
in Court Testimony

NEW YORK, Nov. 1 d:N.So.
Slow of step, still weak and pale,
Mrs. Gloria Morgan Vanderbilt
was on the witness stand in Su-
preme Court today for the third
successive day, still under direct
examination of her counsel.
Behind the locked doors where
Justice John F.. Carew is preSld'
ing in her fight for her child, She
was expected to finish her direct
testimony during the day and face
the attack of Herbert c. Smytn'
counsel for Mrs. Harry Payne
Whitney. T..
Mrs. Vanderbilt's great love for
her 1O-year-old daughter, Gloria,
was revealed in a copyrighted
interview with Sheilah Graham,
published by the Evening Journal
today.
The beautiful young widow, who
despite her collapse yesterday was
to resume the witness stand to-
day, talked freely to Miss Graham
in a bedroom of her New York
home.
DiscIaims nl-FeeIing
She disclaimed any ill-feeling to-
ward her mother, Mrs. Laura Kill
patrick Morgan, who has charged
that she is unfit to care for little
Gloria, and who is supporting the
claims Of Mrs. Harry Payne Whit
ney to custody of the 1O-year-old
millionairess. She said:
"All 1 want is my baby. 1
love her. In spite of all that
has happened love her as
much today as I did when she
was a tiny helpless baby"
Mrs. Vanderbilt, because of
Justice Carew's ban on dis
closures of what actually is going
on in the trial behind closed
doors, was unable to reveal ex-
actly what little Gloria actually
said when she was brought into
the judges chambers and asked
to say whether she preferred to
remain with Mrs. Whitney or
return to her mother. but de-
clared:
81 know that when Gloria
grows up that her chief regret
will be that she said such
cruel things against her mother.
for which there was neither
truth nor reason"
Holds Gloria 'TnfIuenced"
81 have never believed and I
never will believe that Gloria
meant any of those things. OBJ
viOusIy she was influenced to
say them.
81 sincerely believe that, deep
down in her heart, Gloria loves
and needs me. If / thought
otherwise, could not go on with
this horrible ordeal.
"Why should she hate me? If
/ had ever spanked the child or
maltreated her, she would have
some, reason for dislike. But I
have always done my level best
to make her happy
"POOr mother. I am truly
sorry for her. She has had
hallucinatiOnS about events that
never took place. 1 have always
loved my mother and in spite
of what she has done to me
and mine / cannot find it in
my heart to hate her now"
Her mothers attitude she at
tributed to the fact that she, Mrs.
Vanderbilt. had once been en-
gagged to wed Prince Hohenloe
who came to the United States to
deny charges that he had been
guilty of indiscretions with her.
Mrs. Vanderbilt said:
Mother never wanted me to
remarry. She was simply furi.
GUS when 1 became engaged to
Prince HOhenlOe."
