The United States is owned and

ISOLATES SELF
FROM pOWE
Refuses to Vote Upon
Belligerent Rights
During Conflict

LONDON, Oct. 20. (UP)-
Russia isolated herself fur
ther from the 26 other non-
interventionists powers today
by announcing that the Soviet
would refuse to vote on the ques-
ton of belligerent rights in the
Spanish war.
Ivan Maisky, Soviet ambassador
told the delegations to the non-in-
tervention committee that his gov
ernment would not vote on the
paragraph referring to belligerent
rights in the draft resolution.
He announced that the Soviets
cannot accept in entirety either the
British plan or the French proposals,
based on the former.
The Soviet government, he said,
reserves the right to put forward
its own proposals calculated to
strengthen control during the forth
coming discussions on this subject.
"As regards belligerent rights re-
ferred to in paragraph 2, there is
implied in the preamble of the draft
resolution a new point which my
government, from the very moment
this matter was raised in committee,
contended this subject has nothing
to do with and is foreign to the
problem of non-intervention."
Therefore in accordance with
instructions of my government,
will abstain from voting on the
preamble and paragraph two of the
draft under discussion" Maisko
said.

Naval Technicians
Consider Use of
Suicide SquadrOns

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30. (UP)-
Navy department technicians, lit
was revealed today, are exploring
possibilities of suicide squadrons"
of high speed motor torpedo boats
as a mobile, deadly arm of United
States fleets.
The work, however, still is in the
study stage and officials of the
navy department said it was doubt
full that this country ever would
construct such squadrons on scale
commensurate with foreign sea pow
ers.
The squadrons are composed Of
small, extremely fast power boats
carrying one or two torpedoes and
manned by a crew of five or six
men. Only lightly armored, they
depend on their extreme mobility
to avoid gunfire.
Assistant Secretary of the Navy
Charles Edison told shipbuilders
at Boston this week that there is
a possibility the navy may build
two such vessels for experimental
work.

Ill-Nournished Third of
Population Need Aid,
President Declares

HYDE PARK, N. Y, Oct.
20. (UP)-President Roose-
velt said today that the prime
social and economic objec-
tive of his administration is
to provide increased purchasing
power for the one third of the coun-
try's population he has described
as "ill clothed, i'll nourished and Ill
housed"
The president intimated that he
considered that accomplishment
more important than revision of the
present capital gains and surplus
profit taxes now in force.
There has been pressure both in
side and outside the government
for downward revision of the Ievies.
Mr.. Roosevelt's purchasing power
discussion came after he was asked
regarding current reports from
Washington that the administra-
tion is considering modification of
its capital gains and profit taxes
which affect big business.
The president said that both the
minimum wage and maximum hour
labor bill and the surplus crop con-
troll farm measure to be considered
by the Nov Is special session Of
congress would be steps in raising
living standards of the country's
masses.

in the settlement and the French

"I am positive that things are
going to happen FAST" the high for
eign officer told the United Press.
Unable to dis1odge a suicide
squadron" of $50 Chinese barricad-
ed in Chapel, and harrassed by Chi
nese sniping posts on the new west
ern front, the Japanese opened up
with artillery and one shell made
a direct hit on a British outpost
on the Jessfield road, along Soochow
creek.
Post Demolished
When ambulances from the set
tlement arrived they found the
post demolished, with two of the
British riflemen dead and three
wounded, of the six original occu-
pants.
Previously, Royal Ulster rifle
man had been killed in the western
suburbs, after which the British
Royal WEIGH fusiliers turned back
two armed Japanese boats in Soo-
chow creek on the banks of which
the suicide squadron" is barricaded
in two warehouses.
Entrance of the Japanese navy
motor boats into the creek thor
oughly aroused British commanders,
who ordered the Japanese to get
out of their defense sector. The
Japanese complied.
British soldiers said the Japanese
had informed British military COM
manders that they would resume
the artillery barrage which is en-
dangering foreigners along the
western boundary of the settlement
and the French concession.
The warning was given despite
a British protest against the Jess
field road killing. Brigadier Teller
Smollett, British commander, i'm
mediately started on tour of the
British defense sector. British SOL
diers said thus far Is japanese
shells had fallen in the Jessfield
area. Refugees were panic stricken

of the 88th division, sent message
urging them to shed your last
drop of blood, fulfilling your sacred
duty, defending national territory
for the glory of the Chinese"
Tension among British troops was
running high. No civilian was per-
mitted near the Jessfield post where
the two riflemen were killed.
