Announcement Of Roosevelt
Functions Is Awaited.
The return of the President and
Mrs. Roosevelt to 1900 Pennsylvania
avenue last week has stirred an air
Of expectancy about the mansion and
society awaits the issuance of the
dates for the dinner parties and re-
ceptions which the Chief Executive
and his wife give each season. This
schedule has usually been issued for
publication the first Sunday in No.
vember by the present mistress of the
White House, but the date of issuance
has varied as much as the dates them
selves. There was considerable con-
sternation when the Coolidges ar
ranged the dinner to the cabinet
the day following election day-the
first Tuesday in November. This was
done, however, in year when Ash
Wednesday was very early, and there
was not time for all the state func-
tions even when starting in December,
to be given before Ash Wednesday
and Lenten season.
Mrs. William Howard Taft, widow
Of the former President and Chief
Justice, was rather conspicuous by
her absence from the opening ses-
sion Monday of the Supreme Court.
She, however, has set no day to re-
turn although her house is being
opened for the season and will be
In readiness when she arrives from
providence where she is visiting her
sisters, Miss Heron and Mrs. Henry

tor from Rhode Island.

COP. CHAIRMAN 1
 HAS TASK AHEAD.
Will Attempt to Restore Power Republicans Held
 For Years

Hartford, Conn, Sept. S0-(UP)- The job of restoring the republican party to the undisputed power It once held for 20 straight years, fell today to Benjamin E. Harwood, Chester, 0S-year-old former legisla-- tor and fancy cattle breeder and newly elected chairman of the state central committee.
 His first move will be to appoint an advisory committee to consoi- date the sentiments of the eight counties. One committeeman from each county will serve in this ca- pacity and their goal will be to wean away from the big cities the vast majorities they turned over to Democrats in the last state and na- tional election.
 Rural Districts c. o. P.
 Rural districts remained as solid ly republican as they have been for the past quarter of century.
 Harwood's election was unanimous at the central committees special meeting at the Hartford club late yesterday. Also without opposition was the election of Samuel F. Pryor, Jr., Greenwich, as national commit teeman. Selection of @ treasurer for the committee was left to Harwood.
 The three posts had been held by the late J. Henry Roraback, last of the old line of eastern party bosses
 Term Expires in 1888
 Harwood's term expires at the next state convention in September 1888. It was conceded, however, he would be returned for another two years. Pryor will serve until 1940 national convention.
 The first meeting to be called by the new chairman will be held with in e month. At that time 1t was ex" pected Harwood would disclose the personnel of his advisory committee, propose closer utilization with the young Republican and women's groups and announce new state headquarters.

 Truck Is Seized
 Shortly after the wounding of Gray outside the Palace theater just after noon Aug. 13, the police went to Lakewood and seized the truck. At that time 1t was believed Levine, alias Davis, had made 6 get- away in the machine. Later, police followed another angle of the case and the assailant of Gray was said to have escaped by running through q parking lot opposite the scene of the shooting.
 Arrest of Levine has been sought throughout the country. Several per. sons resembling the fugitive have been held until Identification was proved otherwise by police in sev. eral sections.
 The suit in superior court for re- covery of the truck was entered by Joseph 0. Guilfoile, representing the Levines. Mrs. Levine, shortly after the shooting, told police that if her husband was "the man who did the yhooting, he acted in self-defense."

 Washington, Sept. 30-(UP)-JapA an advised the United States today that she will continue to bomb n1ili- tary objectives ill the Chinese capi- tai of Nanking, despite vigorous American protests over aerial at- tacks on urban areas populated by peaceful people and llor-Mllitary property. The Japanese asserted, in 6 formal note to Secretary of State Cordell Hull that the bombing of military facilities in and around Nanking lis Q necessary and ull- avoidable measure for attainment of the military objectives of the Jap- anese forces" Japan promised not to aim bombs at on-combataatS and reiterated her "desire" to avoid injuring nationals or property of other countries If possible"
 State department officials made public the text of the note, written by Koki Hirota, Japanese foreign minister, but declined to comment on the reply until American diplo- natic ofiicials have had opportunity to study It's implications. "The bombing of the military facilities and equipment located in and around the said city (Nanking) Is 0 necessary and unavoidable measure for the attainment of the military objectives of the Japanese forces" Hirota's note said.

 9. Deny the petition, probably without comment.
 The possibility that the court would dispose of the Levitt petition by Its irst decision today - october Il - was heightened by Q state- ment by Attorney General Homer S. Cummings. At @ press confer- ence he said that it might be q good idea" for him to attend the opening session. Earlier he had said that he had mo duty to perform" in the Black Klan controversy.
 He pointed out that Black need not take another oath and can take his seat without further ado.
 End Rumors of Reslgning
 Cummings statement and the fact that Black told reporters in Norfolk that he could be reached ct his office in the Supreme Court building ended rumors that he might resign.
 Reliable quarters here discounted such rumors and were certain that Black would enter the Supreme Court chamber with the other Jus- tices next Monday and take his seat at the far end of the bench.
 Blacks arrival yesterday, how ever, brought near climax the con- troversy over his appointment that started soon after President Roose- welt sent his name to the Senate in August.
 Before the Senate confirmed the appointment, there had been charges that Black had received support of the Klan in his first election to the Senate in 1926. Senator Royal 8, Copeland, Democrat, New York, made the charge on the floor, but the Senate confirmed Black over whelmingly.
 Left After Taking Oath
 A few days after Congress ad- journed, Black and his wife left for Q vacation in Europe after taking the Supreme, Court oath Of office privately.
 On September 13 the Pittsburgh Post Gazette began the publication of @ series of articles purporting to show that Black had been Q member of the Klan and held life member ship when he subscribed to the oath as Q justice.
 Black avoided newspapermen in Paris and London when they sought to interview him.
 He slipped aboard the City Of Norfolk at Southampton, England, ten days ago - presumably taking passage on the small boat for the greater privacy 1t afforded over larger liners.

Continued from Page D that Justice Black planned to use only about 20 minutes of his sched- uled half hour period,
 It was not certain whether Black had conferred with Presid en t Roosevelt before deciding to make the unprecedented broadcast. Presi- dental aides in Seattle said that Black did not talk with the presi- dent yesterday after his arrival at Norfolk, Va, aboard the s. s. City of Norfolk which returned him from Q European vacation.
 With Black himself in seclusion today 1t was not possible to ascer- tain whether he communicated with Mir. Roosevelt this morning.
 Arrangements for the broadcast were handled in telephone confer- ences between NEG officials and Clifford Durr, Blacks brother -in- law.
 No Advance Text
 NEG officials said that they would no be provided with an advance text of Blacks remarks.
 NEG had offered Its facilities to Black for the purpose of making Q statement on the klan charges In 0 radiogram sent to Black when he was still aboard the City of Nor falk. Black then replied with thanks and said he would advise the company later If he desired to avail himself of the offer.
 The fact that no advance copy of the justices remarks will be made available turned attention to Blacks statement to reporters aboard the City of Norfolk as the vessel docked yesterday. He said, in response to inquiries as to whether he contemplated @ radio address, that some parts of the press might fail to publish what said"
 Announcement of the radio ad- dress by Black coincided with an attack upon the Ku Klux Klan charges. Secretary of Interior Har- old L. 1ckeS, at his first press con- ference In two months, character ized the klan charges as "a red herring" and declared that former President Herbert Hoover lis the greatest expert on the subject of the Ku Klux Klan."
 NEG officials said that all the stations of the system-both the red and the blue networks-will carry the Black address. They said e total of 127 stations would be in. vited to carry the address and that most of them probably would take advantage of the offer.
