n Coventry, England, the fates
wv laughed pleasantly. For this son
' ' of the English Midlands was
destined to show the world that there really
may be something in name. From his
earliest days on the stage he was cast in heroic
drama and made his first spectacular American
success when he sang and acted the title role
of The Vagabond King" Afterwards there
were numerous princely paris, including that
of the gaily costumed cavalier in last seasons
popular musical comedy, "Fredericka."
Behind the scenes and off stage, Mr.. King
is delightful English gentleman who, how
ever, claims the United States as his own
because he has had an extensive and happy
career in this land of the free. With his wife
and two sons, Dennis junior and Michael,
he lives in Long Island, where he can crafty
his love of riding and tennis.
Occasionally Dennis makes trip to
England to visit his mother and father who
still make their home in the fertile Mdlands.

Looks for no Trouble From
Jap Army's Extrateri-

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30. (UP)
State department officials last
night maintained "A close watch on
developments at Shanghai, but
profcSscd no great concern over
reports from there that American
cxtra-territorial rights in China
were threatened by new Japanese
military regulations.
These regulations, announced
by the Japanese military authori-
ties on Monday, proposed to in
flict direct penalties on all per-
sons, Chinese or foreigners, found
guilty of injuring. threatening, or
obstructing the Japanese military
forces. State department officials
said the regulations had not been
communicated officially to Amer
lean consular or diplomatic rep
rcsentativcs in China, nor to the
state department.
In the absence of such formal
communication, it was said, Off
Gals consider that the question of
cxtra-tcrritorial rights has not
been raised, and they doubt it
will be unless there is some UNI
forcseen incident involving an
American national. They believe
that if American nationals there
were indiscrcct enough to engage

investigators and the social sccur-

a nationwide drive to bring them
into line, it was learned last night.
The campaign was begun sew

into the social security fund fell
far below the amounts anticipat-
cd. During one month. it was dis
closed, the investigators discovered
100000 dolinqucnts, and thus
saved millions of dollars to the
government,
Nearly all the cvaSions are of
unintcntional character, one Off

concentrated on getting the en-
ploycrS to comply voluntarily
through education and warning,
rather than invoke the stringent

SHANGHAI, Dec. 80. (UP)--
Infatuated by guerilla tactics of
Chinese forces in Shansi. japanese
troops today were reported pour
ing into that province in an at
tempt to destroy General Chu
Teh's Eighth Route army.
Japan's decision to advance in
to the northwest while her pow
crful Asiatic war machine drove
forward on five other fronts was
believed an attempt to clean up
the former Chinese Communist
army once and for all. Chu'S
troops repeatedly captured Is
towns, including several of ma
jor strategic Importance, while
the japanese were busy along the
coast.
Chu and his troops appeared 10
be holding their own in Shans,
but other scattered Chinese forces
retreated 10 the interior, dyna-
hitting and burning as they fled.
Only in the northwest, where
General Chu Teh, China's Red
Napoleon" has emerged from tho
rugged Shansi mountain country
to take advantage of Japan's pre-
occupation along the scaboard,
did the Chinese appear TO be hold
ing their own. D.,
Chu, working in concert with
Marshal Yen Hsi-shan. pacifica'
ton commissioner of Shansi. was
attempting to sever the japanese
connections with Hopci by strik-
ing at the Cheugting-Taiyuan mar
row gauge railroad, and accord
ing to Chinese reports had reoc-.
cupied the areas below the Wutai
mountains.
The huge fve-pronged fork
which Japan is plunging into the
heart of China was spread over
a 500-mile front stretching from
Shantung on the north to Cheki'
ang on the south.
