LONG PROBE SEEN
|NLOR|NG MURDER
Lieut.. ItzeI Admits He Has
Developed No Suspect
or Motive.

A protracted investigation into the
murder of Corinna Loring, which may
continue for weeks, was indicated to-
day by Lieut.. Joseph Itzel of the Bal
timore homicide squad, who admitted
his first week on the battling mystery
had developed no suspects or even a
motive.
Meanwhile. the question Of county
and municipal rewards for informa-
ton leading to the conviction of the
guilty person or persons was still un-
der discussion.
The Prince Georges County COM
missioners at their meeting this morn
ing talked over the possibility of Offer
ing a reward and then put the matter
up to States Attorney Alan Bowie,
who said he had not decided whether
to ask for a reward.
Council Defers Action.
The Town Council of Mount Rainier
met last night and appeared in favor
of posting a $500 reward, but deferred
action pending the wishes of Lieut..
Itzel. The detective said today the
whole matter of the rewards was up to
Bowie
Several new witnesses we're to be
questioned today as Itzel at his Upper
Marlboro headquarters sought to piece
together the fragments of information
already given by more than a score
OF persons interviewed, including mem
bers of Miss Lorings family, various
friends and business associates. and
her fiance. Richard Tear, 29-year-
old attendant at st. Elizabeth's
Hospital.
The Loring girl was found murdered
November 6 in a clump of pines on
Saddleback Ridge, about a quarter of
a mile from her home at 3l10 Beech
street. Mount Rainier. She had been
strangled with piece of twine and
either beaten about the temple with
some triangular instrument or dragged
to the spot with what might have been
ice tongs.
Glove and Paper Linked.
Lieut.. Itzel said today he had in
formation which seemed to connect a
blood-stained paper napkin found at
the scene with mans motorist glove
located nearby. He explained micro
scopic examination of the smudges re-
vealed they had been made by a
gloved hand, probably thumb. There
was no blood, however, on the glove
found.
It was indicated today that the
county commissioners will take steps
looking toward a closer cooperation
between county and municipal police
investigating serious crimes whicn
may occur in the future.
Man Explains to Officials.
A tip that a Mount Rainier man had
turned over a blood stained suit to
the dry cleaners was explained to
Lieut.. Itzel last night by the man
himself. He said he had been in a
fight and received a poke in the
nose" This eliminated a lead which
at first seemed promising to investi-
gators.
The man voluntarily came to Upper

TRADE PACT ISSUE
IN ELECTION SEEN
G. O. P. Opponents Demand
Delay Until Voters Can
Pass on It.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Mounting Republican opposition TO
the New Deals reciprocal trade treaty
with Canada crystallized today in a
challenge to let the voters pass on it
in the 1886 elections.
Harrison Spangler of Iowa, director
of Western Republican headquarters,
proposed that the treaty's effective
date be postponed pending such
referendum. He called 1t a joke on
American wheat farmers, cattle rais-
ers and industries.
Administration officials, contending
the agreement would double COM
merce between the two countries and
increase industrial pay rolls, went
ahead with plans to have its tariff
reductions in operation by January /.
vandenberg Hits Pact.
Among Republican leaders attacking
the treaty was Senator Vandenberg
of Michigan, possible presidential
nominee. He reserved comment on
specific points, however, asserting he
wanted to see precisely to what ex-
tent American agriculture has been
sold down the river for the sake Of an
international trade fiction"
Pending further analysis, Henry P.
Fletcher, chairman of the Republican
National Committee and former chair
man of the Federal Tariff Commission,
reserved comment.
A protest against the treaty was
taken to the White House by Mrs.
Edith N. Rogers, Republican Repre-
sentative from Massachusetts,. She
complained to a presidential secretary
that in her opinion it would work to
the disadvantage of New England.
Advocating repeal of the President s
reciprocal tariff bargaining powers,
she argued the Canadian pact would
lower tariffs to other countries through
the "most-favored-nati clause.
In some Republican quarters here
it was said that undoubtedly some
groups were benefited while others
were not. There will be plenty of time
between January l and the party con-
vention for the treaty's results to be-
come apparent, it was added.
The National Grange. in convention
at Sacramento, Calf, today called on
the administration to rescind the pact,
under which the two nations grant
each other tariff reductions or other
concessions on about 800 commodities.
The report of the Grange said:

North China Crisis
BULLETIN.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Far Eastern situation with
respect to approaching japanese
domination of North China was
discussed today by the British Am
basssdor, Sir Ronald Lindsay. and
William Phillips, Undersecretary of
State.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.
State Department officials are fol-
lowing closely the developments in
North China, where Peiping, the
headquarters of foreign embassies, and
Tientsin. where foreign troops are sta
toned, are by way Of virtually becom-
ing parts Of the Japanese empire.
Since the five Northern Chinese
provinces have not declared them
selves autonomous" yet, American
officials are not prepared to discuss
the situation. In any case. 1t was
indicated today, this Government will
not act independently of other powers
interested in the fate of China.
Stimson Doctrine Retained.
The Stimson doctrine Of non-recog-
milton of independent" Chinese states
is still being followed by the State
Department. But 1t is mere doctrine
and it is unlikely that the American
Government will take any positive
action to prevent further extension
of Japanese power at the expense Of
the Chinese people.
hn 70 fhof tho An1aripQn dinln-
matic mission to China. like the en-
basSies of the other nations, is still in
Peiping, and the fact that the 2lst
United States Infantry Regiment is
stationed In TientSin together with
French, Italian and British forces may
bring about a delicate situation. But
until the secession of the northern
provinces becomes an accomplished
fact. it is improbable that there will
be any exchange of views with the
other interested governments. Since
all the Western powers are equally
interested in the new Chinese situa-
ton it is unlikely the United States
will take any independent action.
Whatever may be decided regarding
the location Of the embassy and Of the
troops will be done in agreement with
the other powers.
The position of the Western powers
regarding the new buffer state under
Japanese control is slightly different
from the one regarding Manchukuo.
Declared Independent by Japan.
The latter state was declared by the
Japanese to be independent of Nam
king. When Pu-Yi was placed on the
throne of that puppet empire, Toxic

The proposed new regime in North
China is to be called the Governing
Body of the North China Autonomous
Anti-Communist Commission of the
Chinese Republic, thereby acknowl-
edging the sovereignty of the Chinese
Republic, although there will be no
allegiance to the Marking government
or to the power of the Kuominatang,
the Chinese National Peoples party.
Also, there will be financial and
economic independence. The new
regime will continue to fly China's
national flag of red, white and blue.
These gestures of nominal allegiance
are the face saving" devices, but the
practical arrangements are regarded
as insuring that the five provinces

that Japanese finance sub

A Japanese-advised cultural sub

Move to FOrestall Interference.
A Rengo dispatch from Peipina
quoted Gov. HSiao Chen-Ying of
Chahar as announcing the intention
of the new state to ask Japanese mill
tary aid to forestall any interference
with its establishment.
Hsiao asserted that although Gen.
eralissimo Chang might pretend to
oppose North China autonomy and
even make threatening military
gestures, in reality he had an UNDER
standing with Gen. Sung Cheh-Y Yuan,
Chinese commander of the Peiping-
Tientsin garrison, concerning its
establishment.
A new North China confederation,

within a few days, more peacefully
