The Other Side.
To be sure there were skeptics,
hack in the 1900 teens, who reasoned
that military power tended to make
a people unduly Sassy, and thus
liable to get into trouble
There also were critics who con-
tended that an armament race might
become so expensive as to tempt the
rivals to fight it out, one squelching
the other and thus putting an end to
the awful burden of going on with the
competition. That, in fact, is what fol-
lowed.
Other things were involved, but the
load of keeping up with the Jones
armament had a deal to do with fore
ing a showdown.

PONS WEDDING
 ALMOST ILLEGAL
Dispute Over NOrWalk City Boundary Line Ends
 Peacefully

NorWalk, Conn.,, June 4.-(UP). - A boundary-line dispute, which for a time caused concern over the legality of the marriage of Lily Pons and Andre Kostelanetz, appeared today to have been settled by a civil engineers map.
 The diminutive French singer and the orchestra leader were married in a summer house on the brides Silvermine estate Thursday. Nor walk officials charged the summer house was over the city line and ill New Canaan and therefore the couple were not legally wed because the license was issued at NorWalk.
 State Senator J. Kenneth Bradley clarified the situation today by ex- plaining Miss PonS took the pre- caution to obtain an engineers map of her estate before the marriage license was secured. The map, he said, showed the home to be in New Canaan and the summer house i'll NorWalk.
 Regular town maps did not show the location of the smmer house because it was recently built.
 The couple left shortly after the ceremony by automobile for an un- announced destination and were ex- pected to return by Wednesday so that KoStelanetZ can fill a radio en- gagement.

NEW MOTIVE
 FOR KIDNAP|NC
G=Men Now Believe Ven= geance Behind Tragic
 Florida Crime
BY THOMAS F. REYNOLDS United Press Staff COrreSpOndentl

Princeton, Fla, June 4-(U.P0 - G-Men took new tack today in their determined campaign to find the body of five and half year old James Bailey Cash, Jr., and bring his kidnapers to justice. They de- cided that the criminals had been motivated by a desire for vengeance on the father almost as much as by desire for money.
 J. Edgar Hoover, head of the Fed eral Bureau of Investigation, direct ing small army of G-men, person. ally interviewed the father in his apartment adjoining his general store last night. They were closeted for 45 minutes and when they left, Hoovers assistant carried bundle of clothing understood to be the babys clothing. It was reported that the father had gone over in detail his entire business career in this redlands farming county 25 miles south of Miami and had named any enemies he had made.
 Acting on Hoover's orders, his men established semi-permanen headquarters here, indicating that the federal determination to capture the criminals would not abate, no matter how long it takes. It was ap- parent that they had not a single clue to the whereabouts of the child's body (no one believed that there was any but the bareSt possi- bility of his being yet alive) and very slender clues, if any, to the kid napers. Though the authorities the customary secrecy it was general impression that the case might drag on for Weeks-even months.
 There was striking contrast in the forces which the G-Men assembled today to continue their search for the child or his body. Approximate ly 50 Seminole braves moved into the deep interior of the Everglade

3 MORE ARRESTS
 IS ESPIONAGE PLOT
German Ship Captains Sail From Country After
 Furnishing Bond

New York, June aUP) - The arrest of two German ship cap tains and designer of the Navy's newest destroyers brought startling new qualifications to the investiga- ton of an espionage plot today.
 The captain, Franze Friske of the Hamburg American Line Freighter Hindenberg, and Heinrich Lorenz of the North German Lloyd F'reignI- CT ChemnitZ, were arraigned in Federal Court last night as mate rial witnesses in the plot that in two months has involved more than 30 persons. They were resleased on $2,500 bonds each and immediately boarded the North German Lloyd Liner Europa, apparently with the Federal mems knowledge. The Eu- ropa sailed early today for Europe.
 The other prisoner taken last night, Christian Danielson, drafts man for the Bath Iron Works at Bath, Me, which is building new ships for the Navy. was held in jail under $l0,000 bond.
 It was reported that some of the plans for the new destroyers had been stolen. Danielson's importance as a witness was attested by the fact that his bond was set four times larger than that of most ma terial witnesses in the case.
 The two captains had been de- tained to testify before Federal Grand Jury that has been invest'- gating the case a month, and their ships had sailed without them sev- eral weeks ago.
 Their sailing today, while under bond, was mysterious development. In arraigning them, Leon G. Torrou, a G-man, and Lester c. Dunigan of the N. s. attorneys office, told Judge John w. Clancy they had information that the captains in- tended to sail on the Europa and for that reason they requested the bond be set. They told the court that once the men got to Germany where two other material witnesses have taken up residence, while un- der subpoena, there would be no way of forcing them to return.
 Nevertheless, the two captains shook hands cordially with the Federal agents and then boaraed the Europa conspicuously. indicating that G-men had confidence in their intentions of returning.

Bar Members Plead| For Lewis Retention
Numerous Letters Sent to Chief Justice Malbie-May Be Presented at Meeting of Supreme, Superior
 Court Judges Monday

Hartford, June 4.-Chief Justice William M. Maltbie of the supreme court of errors was today in receipt of numerous communications from leading members of the Waterbury Bar association, relative to the re- ported resignation of States Attor- ney Lawrence L. Lewis of Water bury, which will be acted on Mon- day at the annual meeting of the superior and supreme court judges. Without exception the communica- tions urged that if the resignation had been received it be refused-and that States Attorney Lewis be re- appointed.
 It is expected that the letters will be read to the council of judges at their annual meeting Monday, and that they possibly will have some eff feet on their final decision. Prior to the report that Mr. Lewis had ten- dered his resignation, it was report ed that the judges would take action in view of the charges made against him by the Waterbury extraordinary grand jury.
 MT. Lewis remained silent today on the report of his resignation. It is apparent that he has resigned himself to the decision of the judges

TWELVE PLANES
 BOMB BARCELONA

Barcelona, June 4-(UP)-Twelve insurgent planes bombed the city heavily today. The raid lasted l2 minutes.
 It was estimated IS were killed and 40 injured in the raid.
 Two squadrons dropped most of the bombs in the harbor section of Barcelona. As far as was known, they did not hit any British or United States ships.
 Anti aircraft guns functioned frantically with a fanwise rain of shells and the raiders were driven off. One insurgent plane was shot down by Loyalist pursuit plane.
 The raiders appeared in a bright blue summer sky, dodging ill and out of the white clouds. Soon ex- plosions were heard through the city as they dropped heavy load of bombs. The sky was dotted with little white puffs of smoke from anti-aircraft shells.

Jap AirpIanes Attack Can= ton Again-Casualties
 Will Be Heavy

Shanghai June 4. (UP)-Despite United States and British govern ment protests against attacks on civilian populations, Japanese air planes bombed Canton again today and first reports said that casual ties were expected to rank with those of last weeks terrible raids.
 Thirty planes flew over the city. a United Press Canton dispatch said, and dropped about 75 bombs in congested areas. Some bombs struck in the neighborhood of government buildings and the power station.
 Japanese predicted battle of great magnitude between the Chinese army massed in the Kai- feng area of the eastwest Kunghai railroad and the Japanese columns moving on Kaifeng.
 Military spokesmen said that the Chinese seemed determined to fight to save the railroad and the north south Peiping- Hankow railroad.
 Expectation was that Lieut., Gen, SelShiro ltagakl, new Japanese war minister, would order an immediate drive on HankoW.
 Battle dispatches indicated that the Japanese might move on Han kow in four main forces.
 The first would be that now be- fore Kaifeng This army would pro- ceed west to Chengchow and south toward Hankow along the Peiping- Hankow railroad The distance to be covered is $40 miles in all.
 If, as predicted, the Mengcheng army advanced westward to the Peiping- -Hankow line it would have l60 miles to go to reach the rall road and another l40 to go south to HankoW-300 miles.
 The Hofei army would have 19O miles to go westward to the Peip- ing -Hankow line and another 95 to go southward, or 2S5 miles in all, provided that the Chinese predic- ton was correct.
 A fourth army might move up the Yangtze river from base in the Wahu area, for march of approxi- mately 300 miles.
