Mongolians and Manchukuoans had
ended after the Manchukuoans and
allied japanese had been forced to
retreat from Mongolian territory.
The official dispatches did not mem
ton the casualties.
The announcement arrived In Mos
COW shortly after other dispatches
from the Eastern border had stated
that the japanese and Manchukuoan
troops had received reinforcem1ts Of
men, field guns, tanks and airplanes.
The Russian advices were that the
japanese and Manchukuans twice
had attempted to capture Tamsyk-
Bulak. 80 miles inside Mongolia, but
each time had been forced to retire

golia which Stomaniakoff told Ota
was signed at Ulan Bator in March.
While authorities disclaimed any
knowledge of an advance into Outer
Mongolia, news agencies and news
papers said queries to their Hsinking
correspondents elected no informa-
ton, causing an assumption of q
rigid military censorship.
Under these circumstances, COM
petent authorities close to the war and
foreign Offices said that if the Mongol
claim of invasion was correct, they
were inclined to believe the soldiery
of the faraway front line of imperial
expansion had acted again without
Tokio's orders.
Still basing their remarks on the
hypothesis of truth in the Mongal ver-
sion, these authorities expressed belief
that on the Mongolian wastelands
might be occurring one more of those
military coups with which Japan's
warriors, without the foreknowledge
or sanction of either the civilian gov
ernment or high army command In
Toxic, might plunge the nation into
a reckless adventure.
These sources said the Manchukuo
miIitarists might either be ignorant or
disregardful of the grave consequences
implied by an outer Mongolian in
vasion, or mindful of such conse-
quences and seeking to commit the
imperial government to expansionist
courses for which 1t was unwilling
and unready.
Reliable information concerning the
forces involved or available on the
frontiers was lacking under the press
ban.
The Japanese Army was known to
maintain a cavalry concentration q
several thousand men near the bor-
der, literally motorized with trucks
and tanks
Across the border the Mongol COM
mand was believed to be supplied with
the most modern Soviet-made arms,
the troops commanded by many
Mongol graduates of Soviet Army
schools.
Whether there were any real Soviet
forces in this region was not known,
but informed sources said strong Com
munist army air forces were less than
3 hours distant.
A foreign Office spokesman declared:
"It is the policy of the japanese gov
ernment that our troops shall remain
inside Manchukuo's boundaries. We
have no reason to believe that any,
thing has happened to violate that
policy.

the City Refuse Division in such a
way as to provide more money for
street cleaning purposes.
1t is the complaint OF the Refuse
Division that adequate street clean
ing is impossible with its present labor
force. Sultan plans to divert some
moneys from the trash and garbage
collection quotas to that for cleaning
streets. He believes the latter service
is in greater need and that the COL
lection services vii lnot suffer seriously.

us 95 more men and we'll keep this
city clean"
Seventy-fve white wings" are
needed along with 20 laborers to op-
crate equipment and work with the
mobile units, Xanten said.
The desired increase would necessi-
tate an additional S150,000, it was
estimated. While Sultan does not ex-
pect to be able to meet the divisions
requirements, some strengthening of
the white wing" force is anticipated.
Parked cars are another obstacle to
the work of the Refuse Division, Of

ton prevents proper cleaning of areas
along curbs. Water wagons flush
dirt from street centers, but the prob
lem is to pick it up from cutters

The Commissioners declare it would
be impractical" to attempt setting
up temporary no-parking areas to al
low access to curbs after the flushes
have passed. Erection of emergency
no-parking signs over large area is
too costly to justify such procedure
and would produce too much con-
fusion, they said. BY the time the
whole city had been cleaned, the Com
missioners, added, it would be neces-
sary to go back to the area where the

Bruno Devotee of Gospel
Hauptmann, though he has not
exactly taken up religion seriously,
has turned out to be quite devotee
of the gospel according to St Luke.
And he likes his spiritual adviser,
a little Lutheran clergyman named
John Matthiesen. who appears really
to believe that Hauptmann is inno-
cent. The pastor bucked up Haupt-
mann quite a bit yesterday, insisted
that he pray God. God. God" over
and over, and was comforting in other
ways. Hauptmann is not much of
a hand at praying, but he followed
the pastors rather monotonous for
mula easily enough.
AS nightfall approached they tried
to get Hauptmann to eat the fine
dinner of roast chicken which was
waiting for him, but he wouldn't
touch it. He wanted it sent to DR..
John F. Condor. the "Jafsie" who put
the finger on him as the man who
received the ransom money in the
cemetery. Hauptmann feels very Bit

who told him that the worst was

The condemned man seemed some
what relieved, but hardly jubilant.
Zeid Doesn't Mind.
Two hours before the Hauptmann
postponement the Governor, who Is
having a lot of fun these days, gave
a 30-day reprieve to Charles Zeid, an
obscure gunman from Camden who
had killed q policeman. Zeid and
Hauptmann had become more or less
friendly during their stay together
in the death row, and the zeid re-
prieve seemed to give Hauptmann
renewed hope. zeid, apparently a
lack-luster sort of fellow, didn't seem
to mind that nobody was making a
fuss over him or his family. He just
went ahead and ate whatever was
offered him.
One of the saddest parts of the
whole evenings melodrama was that
of the gaunt Robert G. Elliott, who
was to have pulled the switch on both
Hauptmann and Zeid for his usual
fee Of $3.50 head. The understand
ing is that Elliott will not get paid
until the switch Is actually pulled.
He had the trip to Trenton from his
home in Queens County. New York,
all for nothing. When last seen he
was walking out into the night, a
stopped gaffer of nearly 10. who has
collected $4,000 in his 10 years as an
executioner in the Eastern States.
He is believer in what he calls the
rhythmic method of shooting the
juice; that is. he doesn't throw it all
on at once with a bang, but does it
gently.
Don't bust straps that way" he ex-
plains.
Any prediction as to what will hap
pen in this bizarre situation would
seem ridiculous, four years and 80
days from the night on which little
Charles A. Lindbergh was stolen from
his home in the Sourland Mountains.
1t was a preposterous crime to begin
with. Daily the case grows more in
credible. People lay bets on when
Hauptmann will die. Curiously, the
sentiment in the great crowd which
was held back by police ropes and
lines tonight seemed to be one of
satisfaction at Kimberling's decision
not to send Hauptmann to the chair
at this time.

Bruno Richard Hauptmann, who was

death sentence on Hauptmann for

making this statement, Col Kimber-

Asks High Bench to Act on
Injunction Suit Over Wire

William Randolph Hearst's latest
legal move to prevent the Senate Lobby
Committee from seiZing or using his
kilograms was before the District Su-
preme Court today for consideration.
Counsel for the publisher asked the
court late yesterday not to dismiss
an injunction suit before it, and Bit
terly denounced the committee as try
ing to "traduce sacred provisions Of
the Constitution"
Earlier in the day Hearst was de-
nounced from the floor of the Senate
by Senator Schwellenbach, Democrat,
of Washington, member of the COM
mittee. He accused the publisher Of
running his newspapers on sweat
shop" basis.
The committee has urged dismissal
of the suit on the ground the court
has no jurisdiction over administra-
tive acts of the Senate.

committee can commit acts which the
Constitution forbids and reserve to
itself the sole power to pass upon the
lawfulneSs Of its acts.
IF the contention (of the commit
tee) is correct, then we have had our
liberties destroyed and are back in
the pre-Revolutionary days"
In his attack on Hearst. Schwellen-
bach charged the publisher with a
long record Of stealing papers, of
securing papers by bribery, of secur-
ing papers by intimidation, of securing
papers by forgery
He said that while Hearst was
building a s15,o00OOO Bavarian castle
in Northern California, drawing a
s500,000 salary, and boasting his Or
ganiZation had skipped no dividends,
'he was putting into effect three sep
arate and distinct reductions of 10
per cent upon the salaries of his
employees"

"At any time any one of his en-
ployes, or any group of his employees
attempt to protest against that sort
of action, or attempt to organize
under any law that may be passed.
Mr.. Hearst and his stooge, Elisha
Hanson, rush behind the Constitution
and the freedom of the press to pro-
tect them in their right to reduce
wages and reduce the force Of the
