~ ~ ST as piece of sheer, dogged detective work,
it's magnificent story.
Piles of frst.hand evidence gathered from more
than half the states in the Union. @
Life histories of hundreds of tires, amassed by
patient days and nights of dgging-a fragment
here, fragment there. Sometimes quizzing gas
station attendant-or listening in on conversations
at Bar-B.Que stand. Peering at speedometers-
running down license numbers questioning car
owners and their friends-fnding out how people
drive, where they drive, how much gasoline they
use in a week, what kind of roads they cover, how
fast they wear out brakes. III ....s.-
You would think, to watch Inspector Joseph A.
Faurot building up this pyramid of evidence, that
life or death depended on his efforts.

Word reached authoritative
quarters here today that Japan
may refuse to attend any further
naval conferences unless the
United States and Great Britain
agree to recognize the japanese
demand for the right to full naval
parity.
Official quarters we're startled
by the news. If japan actually
adopts this stand, it was held
likely to wreck the British hopes
for a general naval conference this
year and seriously impair the
chances of getting any new naval
limitation agreement before the
existing treaties expire the end Of
next year.
These treaties form the basis OF
world naval limitation and repre-

The belief that the fascist army

The decree said the action was
taken because the exchanges no
