Its first scheduled stop was Las Vegas, New, distance of 264 miles which it should have covered easily in two hours. It never ar- rived.
 The plane carried enough gasoline for seven hours flying which meant that at $40 D. m. last night G2.40 a. m. EDT) 1t could no longer have been in the air. Spokesmen for the Lockheed corporation said they be- lieved the plane had crashed or had been forced down in the rugged Tehachapi mountains, between here and Las Vegas. which were reported obscured by a heavy fog.

a White House favorite against Governor A. B. (Happy) Chandler. Lewis's United Mine Workers Union has thousands of votes in eastern Kentucky and he already has demonstrated his ability to deliver them.
 Barkley's chances, already good on the basis of Kentucky polls, looked up further as Farley spoke. And Farley's endorsement should cement the c. I. o. closer to the New Deal in this years primary and general election contests in other industrial states such as Ohio, Indi- ana, Illinois, Michigan and New York.
 Watch Farley Strategy
 The question pending now as voters decide primary winners B whether Farley's strategy will i'm prove or lessen the chances Of party harmony in the campaign to come. The fact that Farley so openly vio- lated his policy of non-interference in primaries except in his own state, New York, is sufficient indi- eaton that the new Deal high com- mand was convinced the Pennsyl- vania battle was about to disrupt the Democratic organization here. It may already be damaged beyond repair.
 Republicans have gone into the campaign on that theory.
 They see the Democratic front crumbling and an opportunity to regain next November what they lost in 1884 when Democrats gained control of the state for the first time since the Civil War. By itself the Republican contest is a spec tacular political show, but shadoWed by Democratic fireworks.

 Referring to the first 3l years of his life in Canada, Lord Beaver brook said that he was still Amer ican in outlook and viewpoint"
 T still accept the democratic faith of that continent and I still cling to it's institutions" he said. Perhaps on that account l may be allowed to say with sincerity and truth to the American people that they un- dervalue the friendship and ad- miration of the British as race for the American people and their ideals"
 As one step toward promoting a friendlier feeling on the part of Americans visiting England, Bea- verbrook's newspapers have cam paigned for abrogation of customs examination of American visitors.

 Arrest of Lobbyists
 Hartford sources said today that there is the possibility that bench warrants for the arrest of lobbyists will be issued there, as well as in Waterbury, as result of the Water bury probe. Charges of conspiracy are expected to emit from the probe, and those who committed such a crime in Hartford county, as an out growth of Waterbury plans, may be tried in Hartford.
 Misinformation
 A story in morning paper hint ing that Mayor Frank Hayes had parked his imposing automobile in front of the Murray residence on South street, while conferring with the eminent Attorney James D. C.. Murray of New York, was evidently based on transformation.
 The Democrat reported yesterday that Attorney Murray, who is re- noWned as a criminal lawyer, having obtained acquittals in a number of outstanding cases, has been retained by a local man, in preparation for the expected outcome of the Jury's investigation.
 Attorney Murray told The Demo- crat that The might" appear here as counsel. He declined to discuss the issue of whether or not he had been retained.
 Murray's Own Car
 The automobile which was parked in front of the Murray home on South street more than week ago was the property of Attorney Mur- ray himself, and although 1t re- sembled that which is owned by Mayor Hayes, 1t was easily dis tinguishable. For one thing, 1t has New York registration plates, which are far cry from the number "2' and Lieut.. Governor" which are borne on the mayors plates. Attor- ney Murray also has a chauffeur,

 Six Japanese columns had con- verged on the city. They had been fighting their way toward it for months because of its importance as railroad junction. Again and again they had been thrown back in humiliating defeat, the first de- feats of their history. Chinese guer- rillas had slashed at their long com- munication lines, Chinese infantry men had met them hand to hand and thrown them back. Now their day of triumph was at hand-and many military men believed it would prove an empty one.

 Military men believed that the dikes would be blown up at a point near Lanfeng, where the river turns northeastward into the course it has followed since 1852. Engineers pre- dicted that the river would spurt back into it's old course, and empty again into the sea 250 miles south of It's present mouth.
 It was regarded as likely that the Yellow river would flow again past, if not over Hsuchow--little more now, apparently, than a big heap of crumbled ruins after a series of air.
