rights" by Japanese sodiers.
 The department said that al- though Allison had been working under great difficulties, "there has at no time been in any of the many reports which the department has been receiving from China any in- dication that MT. Allison has al any time been lacking in judgment or acted with indiscretion; 1t has received several reports indicating that he has had the confidence and cooperation of his Japanese official associates"
 Allison Speaks Japanese
 "Mr. Allison has lived in Japan and speaks Japanese" the statement said.
 This statement was issued for the purpose of refuting the assertions oi Japanese military spokesman in Shanghai that Allison was man. handled by the Japanese soldier while attempting to enter 8 building where he had no business to be, and that he had insulted the Japanese trooper.
 Allison officially cabled the de- partment that he met with the in- suit from the Japanese sentry while attempting to enter a building which formerly housed number of Cath ollie priests.
 He said he was Investigating re- ported incident in which Japanese soldiers had forced their way into the agricultural implement shop of the Ranking university-an Ameri- can nstitution-taken a Chinese woman from the premises and raped her.
 One of Several Outbreaks
 This was but one of a series oi such incidents reported since the Japanese troops occupied Nanking Grew has protested repeatedly to the Tokio foreign office citing incl dents involving the American flag and American property, and disre- gard of American rights in China.
 The protest which he was in- structed to file today was given added weight by the fact that his in- structions were sent by Hull after a two-hour conference with President Roosevelt. In addition to Hull Undersecretary Sumner Welles and Norman H. Davis, American rowing ambassador to Europe, were present
 The conference was held as dis patches from Geneva reported that Great Britain, France and Soviet Russia agreed to ask the United States to aid in supplyin. munitions to China. The conferees refused tc answer questions about the report or to discuss their meeting with the president.

 The controller has continued to refuse to sign the pay sheets for December whic hcall for payment of many thousands of dollars to charitable institutions, hospitals, landlords providing quarters for hundreds on relief, storekeepers who have supplied these relief cases with food.
 City Business Impaired
 Normal business of several city departments has been impaired by this delay in making payments, off, cials remarked. The controller, ab- sent today, could not be quoted as to his reaction to the matter be- cause James F. Purcell, office ac- countant, would not comment for Controller Rowland.
 Various city officials declined to comment on the matter, evidently, one observer remarked, not want ing to seem to criticize the new controller who has been iii office only four working weeks as of to- day. But sentiment was that some thing must be done at once if the city affairs are to be kept clear of the political campaign issuing from the new controllers office.

 Three Stations Withdrawn
 Three post-off1ce sub stations were recently withdrawn from Baldwin street alone; one from 125 Baldwin, another from 839; and the other from 1284 Baldwin street. Only one station, that at 656 Baldwin street is now servicing that entire area. Agitation may aso be started in that district toward the re-registering of the pharmacies as sub-stations, or some other favorable action.
 Clerks of the stores affected by the withdrawals of permits reported that they at times carry stamps for the convenience of their customers, but without their permits are unable to supply the service demanded. Sub-station permittees are paid up wards of $50 yearly for their ser vices.
 Fourteen Sub Stations
 There are, at the present time, IA sub-stations located in Waterbury; One on Bank street; one on West Main street; two on North Main street; two on South Main street; one on Grandview avenue; two on East Main street; one on Grove street: one on Baldwin street; one on Walnut, Cooke and Willow streets.
 One clerk in store formerly used as a substation stated that he is now using a form of American Express Money order in place of the regular government orders.

(Continued from Page D side the league-governments might send munitions to China despite a Japanese blockade.
 The procedure agreed on was for chief delegates of Great Britain, France, Russia and China to speak before the council Monday, and to close the discussion by putting their resolution to council vote.
 According to the best available sources here, delegates saw the possibility-the United States ap- proving-of 8 written resolution and an unwritten agreement. The reso- lution would affirm the one of last October, recommending that league members consider how far they can individually extend aid to China The unwritten agreement, according to informants, might consist of an agreement by the Big Four" to help China get adequate supplies of arms and munitions. It was on this plan, apparently, that American ap- proval and even cooperation was sought.
 Big Four to Decide
 InformantS said that, after ap- proval of a resolution to be sub- mitted Monday, the Big Four could decide how far they might be able to go outside league channels in aiding China, with or without American support.
 The Chinese assert that if they can get adequate supplies of wal materials they can fight Japan to 8 stalemate. They assert that they can go on for several years if neces- sary, fighting with guerrilla tactics and refusing mass battle.
