PE1P1NG, July "A plan for end
ing the Chinese Japanese war by cary.
ing China into at least five autonomous
units was being drafted today, it was
reported, by Chinese members Of the
Peiping provisional government and
their Japanese advisers.
1t was admitted the plan had little
chance Of early acceptance by the
Chinese government Of Generalissimo
Kai-shek, but 1t was believed to be an
indication of the basis on which Japan
would be glad to terminate the con-
fiict, now only five days from its first
anniversary.
Japanese sources indicated Euro
pean powers would be offered spheres
Of influence As bid for European ac-
ceptance Of Japan's partial conquest
OF China, giving the whole scheme 4
general resemblance to the plans of
imperialists Of 40 years ago, when the
breakup Of China was imminent.
Autonomous States.
The five autonomous states en-
visaged by the draft plans were said
to be:
North China-Under the present
Peiping provisional government.
Inner Mongolia-Under Teh
Wang. Japan's Mongol friend. who
heads the present Mongolia feder-
alton With the capital at Kweihua,
in suiyuan Province.

Central China-Under the pres
ent Chinese government At Han

South China-Under . combina-
ton Of Kwangtung-Kwangsi pro-
vincial leaders.
Would Recognize Chang.
Authoritative sources said Japan
would be willing to recognize Chang
Kai-shek as head Of the Hankow re-
gime If he would accept.
The draft plan was said to provide
for the following spheres Of influence
Japan in North China and Inner
Mongolia.
Germany in Shantung, where she
had an economic foothold before
the World War.
Britain in the lower Yangtze VAL
ley. including Shanghai.
France in South China.
Both Sides Want Peace.
The Tientsin Times, influential
British-owned newspaper, declared in

were anxious to conclude peace despite
their declarations Of determination to

now were willing to consider peace pro-
posals from the other.

Ross A Step
Nearer Fate

Chicago, Jan. % (AP)-The Federal
government started today the final
phrase of it's effort to send John
Henry Seadlund, confessed kidnaper
of Charles Ross, to the electric chair.
District Attorney Michael Igoe pre-
pared to ask the United States grand
iurv to indict the rangy workman on
the basis of the 27-page statement
which Seadlund made to Federal men
after his arrest in Los Angeles two
weeks ago and the testimony of key
witnesses.
Federal agents said Seadlund con-
fessed he abducted Ross, retired greet
ing card manufacturer, September 20,
collected $4,000 ransom, and slew his
companion in crime, James Atwood
Gray, but denied several days after
his capture that he killed Ross. The
72-year-old victim, he claimed, died of
relatively natural causes.
Cocky and vicious in his heavily
guarded appearances outside Jail, Sead
lund aimed smashing kicks at news
photographers, grinned in apparent
unconcern as he was led about, shack
led, affected fastidiousness about his
food, and asked for cigars, Outdoor
