WASHINGTON, Sept. IA. -

seat on the United States supreme
court stands little chance of be-
ing challenged successfully as a

only course open to his opponents
would be to demand his resigna-
ton and several already have
asked that.
1t was pointed out that having
confirmation his nomination, the
senate now could only remove
him through impeachment, pro-
ceeding that must originate in
the house of representatives.
The senate is barred from re-
scinding a confirmation under the
unanimous ruling of the supreme

MOSCOW, Sept. 14.-UP)-
Russian a surprise note-today
withdrew all recognition from two
key japanese consulates in the So
Wet Union. One Of those affected
is Odessa, chief Russian port on
the Black sea. The other is at
Novo Sibirsk, important railroad
junction.
Russia took this action on the
ground that Japan has eight con-
sulates in Soviet while Russia had
six in Japan, thus failing to con-
form to the exchange note of
1926. providing for equal consul
lar representation.
The note was the latest move in
the long series Of Russian-Japa-
nese Incidents, which have had

GENEVA, Sept. 14.-(UP)-
The League of Nations yesterday
ignored the ambitions of Fascist
Italy and Nazi Germany by rec
ognizing the Spanish loyalist gov
eminent and refusing to bar Eth
opia from League membership.
Italy and Germany, both of
whom have withdrawn fro m
League collaboration, are staunch
allies in supporting Generalissimo

gency and demanding recognition
of the new Fascist empire in At

The technical seating of Eth

the rejection of protest from
Generalissimo Franco heightened
the tension of the Leagues as
sembly meeting, although neither
move was undertaken as a direct
rebuff to the Rome-Berlin axis.

LATE WIFE WAS AN
AMERICAN WOMAN

To the end Masaryk maintained
an avid interest in international
affairs. He retired to Lany Castle,
where his wife is buried, in De-
cember, 1885, after resigning dur
ing his third term.
He read for several hours each
day, chiefly history, and worked
on books, including one dealing
with Russia and Europe. lnvarl-
ably he took long rides in a horse
drawn carriage.
Masaryk's rise from a black.
smiths apprentice to president OF
a nation of 100000 persons
reads like a Horatio Alger story.
He was born in German Bavaria,
son of a coachman and former
serf. q,
During his teens he displayed
his individuality. He refused to
attend confessions because of a
love affair. His dismissal from
school followed.
He worked his way through the
University of Vienna, and became
a doctor of philosophy in 1875.
