CHINESE LEADER
 IS AFTER PEACE

Shanghai, Dec. 23.-(UP)-Wang Ching g-Wei, an outstanding Chinese leader, was believed to be on his way to Hong Kong today to talk to Japanese agents on the poSsibil- ity of early peace.
 Wang was president of the Chi- nese executive Yuan or cabinet un- til the war broke out, when he was removed from office because of his conciliatory views.
 It was learned that he had been at Chungking, the Chinese tempo rary capital, and then had gone on to Running, farther west. Today 1t was reported that he was at Hanoi, French Indo-C China, and about to leave for Hong Kong. Hanoi is con- nected with Running by railroad.
 Japanese showed extraordinary interest in Wang's activities. Their interest bolstered belief in foreign quarters here that at Hong Kong, he would at least meet Japanese agents, and talk with them, as the result of two weeks of negotiations between Japanese and agents of Wang in Shanghai.

withheld judgment until the full ef- fects were seen.
 Sen. King, D. Utah, member of the senate foreign relations commit- tee, made a statement typical of those who approved:
 T approve secretary Welles' re- fusal to accept the German protest. The Nazi government has been vio- lent in its criticism fo American of- ficials and the policies of our gov- ernment. It comes with poor grace from the Nazi government to criti- cize an American for his criticism of Germany"
 No Business of Germany's
 Referring to Ickes' criticism of Henry Ford and Col. Charles A. Lindbergh for accepting decorations from the German government, he said:
 Tt is certainly no business of Ger many's if one American criticizes some other Americans. Some Amer jeans believe they should not have accepted the medals. I am one of them."
 Rep. Fish. R. N. r., an advoacte of 8 foreign policy of isolation, de- scribed Ickes' speech and the Welles- Thomsen conference as "very un- fortunate" He said that there "al- ready is too much war hysteria and war talk in the United States"

 SAVED FROM FIRE

Somerville, Mass, Dec. 23.--(UP) --One man perished and 20 other occupants were rescued over lad- ders early today when a three- alarm fire swept a four-story brick apartment block.

 Rousseau, who hadn't had steady work in six years, cut down a tree and they started back to the f1ivver. Two shotgun blasts shattered the night. Rousseau, mortally wounded, dragged himself te the car and clam bered. into the front seat. Then he died. Mrs. Rousseau, wounded, col- lapsed where she was.
 Farmer Tells of Shooting
 A few minutes later farmer Case rapped on the door of a neighbor, Leland Martin. T just shot couple of guys trying to steal some more of my trees" he called. Ring the con- stable and tell him they are lying on the road" Constable Lyman Hitchcock called Sheriff Carl Finne- gan and then went out and found the Rousseaus. Finnegan took the semi- conscious woman to the hos pital at Elyria. On the way she said ::
 T know we should have bought the tree for the children, but we've been so hard up. There are a few presents in the back of the car. Please see that the children get them if I die"
 Mrs. James Dovas, the wounded woman's sister, said the couple had spent the evening at her home.
 Very Hard Up
 They're so hard up they can't af- ford to come to see us but once a year." she said, "so they always come around Christmas. They are such good people. A quaretr would have bought a little tree. They didn't know that the tree was far enough from the road to be on private property"
 Case, held in the Elyria jail, told officers he was "sick and tired of having people take my Christmas trees" Finnegan quoted him as say- ing of the shooting:

NSOAtAAAAOA 41OAA < o6C ~ pressure upon MT. Roosevelt to get rid of him.
 Hopkins elevation to the cab inet merely ratifies his position in the front rank of new deal coun- cils. He long has attended cabinet meetings and rates as one of MT. Roosevelt's closest political advisers.
 Test of Strategy
 The test of MT. Roosevelt'S latest strategy will come shortly after congress conveneS January 3. Hop- kins will have to be confirmed in his new position. There is evidence that his elevation to the cabinet was carried out with the knowledge and consent of Vice-President Gar ner and other Democratic conserv- atives, and that is judged here to mean that the presidents choice will be approved.
 The next cabinet vacancy to be filled will be the justice department from which Attorney General Cum mings will retire next month. Cum mings, like Roper, is an old-line Democratic politician but he has been in the front rank of new deal battlers in some of MT. Roosevelt's hottest fights. It was Cummings who shared with MT. Roosevelt re- sponsibility for the supreme court reorganization proposal which con- gress repudiated last year.
 But Cummings did have import ant political connections with the congressional conservative bloc. Washington expects his office to be filled either by Solicitor General Robert H. Jackson or by Governor Frank Murphy, the red head from Michigan who was the victim of the anti-CIO rebellion which aided the Republican comeback last Mo- vember.

 Many to Cooperate
 Cooperating with Uncle Harry, Manager Ed Fitzpatrick of the Loew Poli theater and his staff, and the Elks' Committee, headed by Walter Jarvis, Robert F. Birt, and Dr. M. A. O'Hara, have done all in their power to make tomorrow's theater party the greatest ever. Everything possible to add to the youngsters enjoyment and convenience has been arranged.
 There won't be a dull moment in the show from start to finish, with the real Christmas atmosphere pre- vailing every minute.
 Baskets For Needy
 While the boys and girls are en- toying themselves inside the theater workers will be busy in the lobby sorting out the cans, bags, and as- sorted packages of all shapes and sizes that have been handed in as the youngsters entered the theater. The articles of food will be classified, then added to bulging Christmas baskets that will be distributed to- morrow afternoon and night by members of the Elks.
 Every youngster attending the great ChristmaS party tomorrow can know that his little contribu- tion is making the holiday a bright CT one for some needy family.
 Don't forget, boys and girls, the show starts promptly at 10 o'clock, so be on hand early, with your con- tribution of food.

 The latest British grievance against the Nazis is broadcasting, British sources said that Germans had broadcast reports of all kinds of outrages against Arabs by British troops in Palestine.
