To participate, all a claimant
has to prove Is that he opened a
savings bank account Is or more
years ago and then forgot about it..
Every savings bank in the State
had to submit to White list Of
all unclaimed deposits that had
lain dormant from or before 1922.
Then Mr.. White ordered the
names of all these forgetful de-
positors advertised both locally
and in Albany. His authority was
the Stephens banking law amend

year, which requires systematic,

forts, to detect sufferers from

ARMY LEADERS
DEFY JAPAN
CABINET
By JAMES r. YOUNG

TOKYO, Jan. % Q.N.SO-Mili-
tary and civil leaders formed bat
tlelineS in Japan's parliamentary
crisis today with dissolution of
the diet or resignation of Premier
Koki Hirota's government seem
ingly inevitable.
The war office issued state
ment declaring it cannot cooper
ate longer with political parties
which are blocking essential re-
forms at a moment when Japan
stands at the crossroads"
Army Siezes Helm
This unequivocal declaration OF
policy in itself lent confirmation
to the very charges which precipi-
tated the present criSis-allega-
tions that the army under Gen
eral Count Juichi Terauchi, war
minister, has abrogated to itself
dictatorial political powers.
Army leaders remained insistent
upon dissolution of the Diet to
liquidate the elements in Parlla-
ment critical of their role in poll
tics.
The navy, however, was reported
to favor some sort of compromise
on the grounds neither dissolution
of the Diet nor resignation OF
Hirotas cabinet would meet with
popular approval.
Sides with Navy
Sympathetic with the navy's at
titude was Prince Kimmochi Sal
onji, last of the "elder statesmen .
the only man in Japan qualified
by tradition to advise the Emperor
in a political crisis.
Dissolution of the diet, which
would require a parliamentary
election within so days, was ten
tatively decided on at an emer-
gency meeting of the cabinet, but
the decision is subject to con-
firmation at a second meeting TO-
morrow. Meanwhile the diet re-
mains in a tWo-day recess by order
of Emperor Hirohito.
The probable alternative is resig-
nation of Gen. Count Juichi Ter
.auchi. war minister and chief tar
get of an uproariouS attack in
the house of representatives.
Hara-kiri-traditional suicide
by ydisemboWelment-remained a
further possibility, either for
Count Terauchi or Kunimatsu
Hamjda, 69-year-old leader of the
minority Seiyukai party in the
house, who, the war minister al
legged, inSulted the army.
Dissolve House, Demand
At the cabinet meeting today
Count Terauchi vigorously de-
demanded dissolution of the house,
a formal step that requires sane,
ton of the emperor.
Foreign Minister Hachiro Aritas
supported him, declaring a new
election is inevitable in view of
Hamada's charges that the army
controls the government and that
the cabinet has fascist leanings.
After the meeting the war min
lister told Prince Kanin, uncle of
the emperor and army chief of
staff, it was understood, that the
army had been unWarrantedly
criticised in yesterdays debate
and the diet should be dissolved.
Many political quarters saw in
the cabinets tentative decision to
call an election a bluff" to quiet
the parties.

County Suspends
Beer Licenses

UPPER MARLBORO, Md, Jan.
22.-Infractions Of the county liq-
uor law resulted in the suspension
of two beer licenses and liquor
permit at stormy session of the
Prince Georges County Board OF
Liquor License Commissioners here
yesterday.
Acting on charges brought by
E. Bernard Sweeney, county liq'
uor investigator, the board Sus-
pensed the beer license of Peter

The suspension will become effec'
tive January 25 and will remain
in effect until the next meeting
of the board, February IL.
Sold After Hours
Sweeney charged that Cokinos
sold beer after the 2 a. m. dead
line and that he sold beer to per
sons under the influence of Lq
uor contrary to the law.
The beer license of Barron L.
Biggs, Clinton, Md, was suspended
indefinitely until he could prove
that ownership of the establish
ment had not changed hands
since the issuance of his license.
A liquor, wine and beer license
issued to Carl Klein, 1902 Rhode
Island Ave, Mt. Rainier, was sus-
pended for two weeks on the
grounds that the establishment
was not serving regular meals rs
prescribed by law for that type Of
license.
