The cabinets action came after Premier Benito Mussolini's adherence to the Japanese- German alliance against international communism, which was calculated to strengthen Japan both as concerns Soviet Russia ana as concerns any international at tempt at coercion to end the war in China.
 Air Alarm Warnings
 A Domei (Japanese) News agency report from Shanghai that three Chinese airplaneS had been shot down ct the mouth of the Yangt2e river. near Shanghai, caused air alarm warnings to oil strategic cen- ters early today, on the bare chance that the planes might have been part of Q fleet headed toward Japan to bomb. Precautions were observed until 1t was announced that there was no danger. Tn It's note to the Brussels conference today, the gov- ernment said that the ChinesesJap- anese war was outside the scope of the nine power treaty.

 COnquest Near Completion
 Japanese troops had almost com pleted their conquest of the city to- day. In the Nantao area between the French concession and the Whangpoo river, there were @ few hundred Chinese "dare to die" men = crack militarized policemen, mostly, but reinforced by few reg ulars. These men were in civilian clothes, which meant that If cap- tured they could ask no mercy un- der the laws of warfare.
 West of the city, the Japanese, driving hard against the Chinese main army reached Anting, l8 miles out along the railroad to Nanking, the national capital. In Shanghai proper, the Jpanese had almost clened out the Nantao district. French Concession Filled
 The French concession camp was SO crowded with Chinese soldier refugees that last night, even though the camp was enlarged, the men had to remain standing because there was not room even for them to sit. i
 Foreign military experts said to- night that they believed the Chinese main army at some ponits was as far as 35 miles west of Shanghai. They believed that the Chinese would have to retire all the way, northward to the Yangtse. It was assumed that the Chinese would keep their north or left wing based on the Yangtze leaving their south or right wing "unanchored" or with out Q strong position until they had reached the Soochow region--40 odd miles west of Shanghai, where lakes and marshes would impede the Jap- aflese,

 Constantin Yurenev, the Russian ambassador to Germany, is a star of the Soviet diplomatic corps. He was named to his present post only on June IT, and significantly per. haps, he was transferred there from Japan, with which Germany sev- eral months previously had nego. tiated It's anti-Communist alliance to which Italy has now adhered.
 Veteran Bolshevik
 Like many men who have fallen victim to the purge, Yurenev IS Q veteran Bolshevik. He has been Q member of the Bolshevik party since 1905, when he was l7 years old. Fre- quently in prison or in exile, he was one of the organizers of the Red calvary which became famous in the civil war that followed the Bol- shevik revolution of 1917. Yurenev joined the foreign office in 1921. Karski, the ambassador to Turkey, was sent there only a few months ago from Lithuania. Like Yurenev, Ambassador Davtian was @ veteran in the Russian revolutionary move- ment.
 He has been ambassador to po- land since 1884.
 Check of Recent Events
 Naturally there was Q disposition here to check recent events con- cerning Russia in connection With the reports of 6 purge of the diplo- matic Corps - following Q purge that extended to the army, navy and air force after involving men In all civilian branches of the govern ment.
 First, the Italian government ad- hered only last Saturday to the German Japanese anti-Commul- ist alliance, and this was made the occasion of 6 protest to Italy through the Russian ambassador at Rome, Boris E. Stein.
 Then on Tuesday Maxim Litvi- nov returned suddenly to Moscow from the Brussels Far Eastern con- ference. Something of 0 sensation was made of his return. But 1t was ascribed to Russias dissatisfac ton with the process made at Brussels. Now, however, 1t was asked whether his return might have been in connection with the reported diplomatic purge.

ance, 1t was noted that Japan's first ambassador to Poland, Shuichi sakoh, presented his credentials to President Ignacy Moscicki only Wednesday. Sahok previously had been attached to the Japanese en1- bassy at Moscow.
 Berlin Embassy Ignorant
 Berlin, November 12. - (UP) - The Russian embassy said today that 1t had no information to give on reports that Ambassador Con- stantine Yurenev had been arrested at Moscow.
 George Astakov, embassy coun' selor, said that Yurenex after pre- senting his credentials here in July went to Marienbad to rest He re- turned to Berlin for few days, Astakov said, and then left for Rus sia to continue his vacation. Since then nothing has been heard Of him, he added.
 Reports of Yurenev's arrest caine as Nazis were discussing the possi- bility of new adrerentS to the Ger man Japanese Italian anti-Coin. munist alliance. Nationalist Spain was regarded as the most immediate probability, with Hungary e poss- blity.
 It was asserted that the govern- ment would take no initiative as regards any South American state but would await developments on that continent.
 Ukraine Independence
 The Voelkischer Beobachter, organ of the Nazi party, in an article last night advocated the independence of the Ukraine, the rich southwestern corner of Soviet Russia.
 "One must above all call attention to the shocking fact that the so- called humanitarian democracies of Europe silently tolerate the wholly abnormal position of the Soviet Ukraine" said the article. ... Peasant revolts never cease In tho Ukraine. They show that the na- tional feeling of the Ukrainians has not been broken and that they te- naciouslly pursue their aim of cast ing off the Muscovite Yoke"
 The article argued that under the Russian constitution, new aS well as old, the Ukraine had the right to secede, and emphasis was placed on the Ukrainian Republics riches in grain, butter, eggs, feat as well as in industrial raw materials such as coal and iron ore.

He related the proceed ings of e conversation with Hurtig and two other representatives oi the Jay Corporation, which took place in his church parlor, several months ago. At that time he said oil agreed and reiterated that "th( show would be cleaned up."
 Hurtlg Shifts Responsibility
 A bombshell seemed to be thrown into the court action when Hurtie claimed that he was not the man. ager but only the censor" He saic that one Feinberg was the former manager, but he had been deposed several weeks ago and had not beer, replaced.
 It is alleged that the real boss of the Jay Theater, Inc, is Frank Otto of New Jersey. Attorney Weis- man said that the theater Is also connected with the French Casino of New York.
 Scantily Clad Girls
 The testimony of the two repre- sentatives of the Temperance unit was that there were about l6 scant- fly clad girls in the show and that there was one strip teaser." This latter at three times during the show was almost completely naked, with the exception of the "g-string' they said.
 Hurtig claimed that at all times he had warned the performers that the show must be clean" and in this he was borne out by other eil- ployes. He said that if there was any uncleanliness 1t was caused by players who were trying to get an additional laugh.
 Attorney Claims Bias
 Attorney Weisman claimed that the two witnesses were biased, and that did not look at the show in the same manner as it might be seen by an ordinary person. Under questioning by MT. Weisman, MT. Backman stated that he had never sen the Scandasls or the Follies.
 Several employees of Jacques were called to the stand and each testi- fled that the girls, all Of them, were clothed at all times by form fitting net tights and brassiere.
