FRANCE BATTLING
MOROCCAN RISING
Foreign Totalitarian Power
Blamed for Trouble in
African Colony

Casablanca, French Morocco, Oct
30 (AP)-French colonial troops and
Moroccan courts joined forces today
in an attempt to quell native nation
alist uprisings for which officials
blamed agents of a foreign totalitar-
ian power"
Firm military and judicial measures
were taken to nip what officials de-
clared was a plot to overthrow the
French protectorate and set up an
independent Arab kingdom.
Heavy troop patrols were establish
ed on the Algerian frontier to prevent
Arab nationalist agitators from fleeing
Morocco. The frontier was practical
ly closed to all except foreigners.
Soldiers mounted a strong guard
around the strife centers, especially IN
an area where the native quarter was
described as rampant with national
ISM" French military planes helped
patrol the trouble zone.
Troops and police combined made
nearly 1000 arrests yesterday and
were busy last evening breaking up
demonstrations which in many cases
developed into bitter street fights.
Here native judges sentenced gu
persons to prison for participation in
riots Wednesday at Port Lyautey,. in
which four persons were killed and
nine wounded.

ODonnell said he had been Informed
by his men the capture had been
made by deputies, and Federal men
arrived after the capture:
The sheriff said his deputies were
in the house as Byrd's wife walked
in, and a member of the family was
instructed to go out and tell Frank
the coast was clear. Frank then came

2. The Japanese navy is reliably re-

3. Japan's accumulations of war
stores are being expended and will
still be further reduced by the long,

make Japan more vulnerable to pos

Shanghai, Oct. 80 (AP)-British po-
lice reported tonight China's famous
'.lost battalion" in devastated Chapel
was laying down it's arms and soon
would come into the international set
Element for sanctuary.
The reported decision of the batta-
lion to abandon it's stand against the
surrounding Japanese was said to be
the result of urgings of foreign con-
suls general, who tried to end a sit
uation considered dangerous to the in
ternational areas.
It was feared the settlement would
be gravely endangered if the battalion
continued to defy it's enemies.
The battalion had held out in q
warehouse-fortress near the settle
ment boundary since the general Chi
nese retreat from Chapel Wednesday.
Earlier tonight the japanese, who
surrounded the fortress on three sides
had begun a steady, methodical art
il]ery bombardment of the beleagured
stronghold.
With four IS million guns mount
ed 100 yards away, japanese artll-
lery slowly fired shells in an attempt
to batter a hole in the rear of the
warehouse through which hand-to-
hand charge would be possible.
The Japanese shells were being fir
ed directly toward the international
settlement, but the closeness of the
guns, to their target made it impos-
sible that stray shots would hit the
nearby foreign areas.
About 40 Americans and many 9TH
er foreigners already had evacuated
the Hunjao area.
