His attitude raised Il grave
problem for Britain, France and

Scores of known anti-JapaneSe
leaders still are in refuge in the
foreign areas and the powers fac
ed the possibility that the Japan

seize these Chinese.
In addition there were the qucS-
tons of what the powers could do

communications, control the Chi

interest on China's foreign loans

generally treat all Shanghai as

The general belief was that the
powers would adopt a more con-
ciliatory attitude toward the Jap
ancSe and attempt TO avert an
open clash.
British and Americans thought
Gen. Matsui's assertions were
more a warning than a threat and,
after considering the position of
the powers carefully, they agreed
that considerable measure Of
cooperation with the Japanese
would be both necessary and adj
viSablc for the reason that there
no longer are any Chinese in au-
thOrity around Shanghai with
whom to deal.

GUILTY PLEA
IS OFFERED
Rutherford Man Given Is
to 30-Year Term in
Death of Wife

RUTHERFORDTON, Nov. -,
Following the presentation of cir
cumstantial evidence in the death
of Mrs. BarZilla Fowler, against
her husband, who was brought
here yesterday from states prlS-
on at Raleigh, where he is serving
term of eight TO 10 years on
convictio no conspiracy, a plea
of guilty was offered and the de-
PENDANT sentenced to term of
25 to 30 years, the two terms to
run cOncurrently.
Last February, several shots
were fired into the Single Hollow
section home of Wilbur Rhodes,
a farmer. Five of the six persons
in the house were wounded. In
May, Fowler, and his son, Lester,
were convicted of taking part in
the shooting. Bad feeling had arts
en- over dog which Fowler said
Rhodes shot. Rhodes claimed the
dog was eating his eggs.
The day following that on
which Fowler and his son were
sent to prison, the body of Mrs.
Fowler was found a mile or two
from her home. The county phySi-
clan believed she had been dead
about six days.
An officer testified that Mrs.
Fowler said on May 8 that she
would die before she would go on
the witness stand and swear what
her husband wanted her to, the
opinion being expressed that Fow-
Ter killed her to keep her from
turning states evidence in the
Rhodes shooting case.

STORM OF PROTEST
AROUSED BY JAPAN

SHANGHAl, Nov. IL. NOf)-
Japan'S threat to exercise control
measures in Shanghai's Interna-
tional Settlement and French con-
ceSSion. including possible cOmmu-
nicationS censorship and seizure
of the Chinese maritime customs,
aroused q storm of protest from
foreign officials today.
II was understood American,
British and French officials had
forwarded outlines OF the Japa-
neSe position-as made public
yesterday by the Japanese army
commander, Lieut.. Gen. lwane
MatSui - TO their home govern
ments and were awaiting instruc-
tiOnS.
The British were particularly
incenSed, believing Gen. MatSuis
warnings were aimed primarily at
them because of their sympathetic
attitude toward China in the fight
ing here.
One report was that the British
ambassador in Tokyo had been in
Structed to ask the japanese gov
eminent if it supported General
MatSui'S declarations.
The Japanese commander re-
ceived me and six other CORE
spondents yesterday and told us
in effect that he is now master of
Shanghai and feels free to take
"any steps" dictated by military
necessity from now on in the set
Element and concession as well as
in Chinese territory surrounding
them. The General said he pre-
ferred not to interfere with the
rights of foreign countries, includ-
ing those of Britain and the Uni
ted States, but complained of a
general lack OF foreign co-opera-
ton with Japan.
Throughout the interview he in
timated that some foreign nations
represented in Shanghai have
shown a decidedly pro-ChineSe at
titude throughout the Chinese
Japanese conflict.
The Japanese army will not hes
itate to establish censorship in
the foreign areas, and to take con-
troll of the Chinese customs SER
vice, conferred in the International
Settlement, if he thinks it advis-
able, Gen. MatSui added.
Referring indirectly to the Ger
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. "anti COM
munist" front, the General said
the situation abroad had changed
since he came to Shanghai be-
cause of developments in London,
Washington, Paris and Brussels,
and that he was disappointed at
what the officials of other coun-
tries here say and do"
Il am afraid now that | cannot
accomplish the cooperation with
these officials that had hoped"
he said. 81 think this is very un-
fortunate for the peace of the
world but, for the sake of our
military operations here, this can
not be helped as long as the atti-
tude of the other powers (mean-
ing Britain, the United States and
France) remains unchanged"

UTILITY RATE
MAKING PLAN
IS UNDER FIRE
High Court Hears Argu.
ment to Overturn Long
Standing Doctrine

WASHINGTON. Nov. -. (UP).
Administration attorneys sought
in the supreme court yesterday to
overturn a 80 year old utility
rate-making doctrine which Presi
dent Roosevelt contends is enab-
ling the utilities to impose dis
criminatory charges upon the
public.
The lawyers represented the
federal power commission which
interviewed as friend Of the
court in a test suit by the Pa
cific Gas & Electric company
charging the California railroad
commission violated the due proc
ess clause by refusing to permit
it to base its rates on the present
reproduction cost of its plants.
The state commission contends.
with administration support, that
the rates should be based on ORR
ginal construction costs, plus a
reasonable allowance. for eXpan-
SiOnS and improvements, a point
cited by Mr.. Roosevelt in his
press conference last Tuesday.
Chief Justice Charles Evans
Hughes led the tribunal in vigor-
ouSly questioning Pacific Gas at
torneys and, after a day long
session. the court gave them 10
days in which to file briefs re-
plying to arguments by the power
commission and the Pennsylvania
Utilities commission which also
interviewed as a friend of the
court.
Substitution of Liberal Justice
Hugo l.. Black for conservative,
retired Justice Willis Van De-
vanter was looked upon by gov
eminent attorneys as enhancing
materially their chances for de-
ciSiOn favorable to the admins
tratiOn.
Hughes and Associate Justice
Harlan +. Stone questioned War
rem Olney, Jr., San Francisco at
torncy for the utility at consider
able length after he had denied
the California railroad commits
siOn'S contention that California
federal district court had based
decision favorable to the COM
pany only on a procedural QueS-
ton.
The supreme court last spring
affirmed the district court order
multiplying the California commits
Sion'S rate fixing by a Al split,
with Justice George Sutherland
not participating. Last month it
agreed to reconsider. Sutherland
was not on the bench yesterday.
The presence of Oswald Ryan,
general counsel of the FPC, was
regarded as a further step in the
presidents drive for lower utility
rateS-a legal battle to modern
ize rate-making procedure and
supplement efforts of the Ten
neSsec Valley authority and pub
lie works administration in the
power field.
In his press conference Mr..
Roosevelt declared that unconsti-
tutional decisions in rate cases
had been rendered by the courts
for years, and that the accepted
doctrine that reproduction costs
should be considered in establish
ing property valuation was not in
accordance with common low and
hence illegal.

 Limited Prcss stan Correspondent

New York, Sept. l5.-(UP)--In a few weeks baseball's deepest think CTS will go into a slight reverie and begin the business of selecting a player for the honor of being named the most valuable of any in the league.
 In fact, some. of the games more profound mlnds-meaning those ex- perts who, without thumbing a single notebook, can tell you every thing that has happened in base- ball since HosS Radbourne cut his milk teeth-already have listed the eligibles.
 Among the men being promin- ently mentioned are Gabby Hart nett, the portly catcher of the Chicago Cubs; Ducky WIcky Med- wick, erudite outfielder of the St. Louis Cardinals; Charley Gehringer, the beflanneled robot of Detroit and Carl Hubbell, the man who made Bill Terry rich and famous.
 These are all deserving citizens Hartnett, within whose ample bosom the fires of competition rage with forest fire violence, has done much to keep the crippled Cubs in the race. Without Medwick's bat the Cardinals would be in the Cotton States league; Hubbell's 19 victories are the reason the Giants are pen- nant bound, and Gehringer-well he's been the best all-round player in either league for a number oi years.
 No one would holler much if any one of these fellows was tapped and
