DIPLOMATIC CRISIS SEEN
By HOBART G. MONTEE
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT


WASHINGTON, April 24. U.P) -
The United States may follow the
lead of Great Britain in officially
reminding the Japanese government
of its obligations under the nine
power pact, it was stated in auth
oritative quarters today.
Secretary Of state Cordell Hull
was due back in Washington today
from New York, and his arrival was
expected to coincide with the dis
patch Of either memorandum to
the Japanese government, or Of in
Structions to Joseph c. Grew, AM
erican ambassador in Tokyo to
make such a reminder
Shortly after news that the Bri-
tish government had transmitted a
note to Japan, William Phillips, un-
dersecretary of state, conferred with
President Roosevelt. Upon his re-
turn to the state department he
called in officials of the far eastern
division of the department. All in
dications pointed to the preparation
of note to Japan or instructions
TO CIreW.
Considerable annoyance is felt in
official circles here over the man.
ner in which the japanese have Civ
en- worldwide publicity to Japan's
unofficial pronouncement of an un-
official Monroe Doctrine for the
far east.
The situation has reached point
where official notice of it may be
taken by this government. The i'm
petus for such action was furnished
by the British note reminding ia
pan of her treaty obligations.
Historically, the United States has
been an aggressive defender of the
"open door" policy in China. There
was no indication this policy would
be surrendered without stiff oppo-
Sition.

DARROW MAY
HELP |NSULL
Rumors Assert Noted Attorney
Will Be Drafted As Counsel
For Former Magnate.

WASHINGTON, April "a. W.H -
A possibility that Clarence Darrow,
one of the nations foremost crimi-
nal lawyers, might be drafted to
defend Samuel insult when the lat
ter finally reaches this country from
his Grecian hideaWay, was diScoSed
today.
Darrow, fellow Chicagoan of the
once mighty mid-Western utilities
ragnate, asserted that as yet he
had not been approached to lend
his services to insult. Mere men,
ton, however, that there were re-
ports he would be asked to become
chief counsel brought gleam to his
eyes.
Il have not been asked" Darrow
remarked upon leaving the White
House where he had called to dis
cuss with President Roosevelt the
work of the national review board
of which he is a member.
Would you accept the job of act
ing as insults counsel should you
be invited to?" he was asked.
There seems little likelihood that
I will enter the case or give up my
post with the review board"

also, for certain reasons, eltner
impossible OF unwise for Esther
Ordway to give up her apart
! ment and flee. Therefore, she
simply took the name of a mys-
FERROUS Alice Lorton and told US
the story about the disappearance
of her fictitious roommate"
"But surely" Blocker said,
"she couldn't have, expected to
have such a story stand up. I'm

couldn't have accounted for her.
Don't be too certain about

Alice Lorton merged her identity
into that of Esther Ordway for
certain purposes. Then, when 1t
became apparent that the Ord
way identity was going to get
her into trouble, she switched
back to the identity of Alice
, Lorton. She could have given the
police a fairly accurate history
up to approximately the time
that Esther Ordway entered the
apartment"
"Rut the police could have
confronted her with the people
in the apartment and

police would have found that per-

she was Esther Ordway or Alice

might have givqa testimony that
would clinch her identity were
the persons in the bank. For
that reason she wanted. to get
