shortly hand President Roosevelt
a seven-point program for expan-
sion and liberalization of the old
age pension system to embrace
10000, 900 additional persons, it

advisory council on social secur-
ity, which meets here October 21,
and are expected to be submitted
to congress when it convenes on
January 8. -.
They are designed to head. off
so-called "crackpot'' pension
schemes, which Mr.. Roosevelt has
condemned as "short cuts to
Utopia" and at the same time

security program as whole.

MANSLAUGHTER TO BE
REQUESTED VERDICT

Evidence tending to show that
Walter S. Montgomery, Spartan
burg textile executive, drove
large motor boat close to a small
er boat and that the waves of the
large boat caused the smaller to
capsize and drown three people
was introduced in superior court
this morning as the court entered
the second day of hearing of man.
slaughter charges against Mont
gomery.
Charges are a result of the
drowning at Lake Summit on Sep
TENDER 6, 1886, of Fate Black,
ST., Fate Black, Jr., and Walter
Martin, all of the Anderson coun-
ty, S. c., community.
The case was opened in court
yesterday afternoon and only one
witness testified before the after
noon adjournment.
w. L. Casey, of Anderson, was
the first witness to testify this
morning. He said he had con-
yersation with Montgomery on
Sunday, one week after the three
drowned, He quoted Montgomery
as saying that as he approached
the smaller boat he saw it was
overloaded, that he passed the
smaller boat, travelled on down
the lake and was returning when
he saw the boat had capsized and
that there were six heads above
the water. He further quoted
Montgomery as saying that he cut
his motor and drifted past, and
that he was unable personally to
go to the aid of the people in the
water without endangering those
on his boat as none of them could
swim.
(Other testimony introduced
yesterday and today showed that
Montgomery took the survivors
into his boat and carried them to
the Lake Summit tea room.)
l.. o. Jamison testified that he
was with Casey when the above
conversation took place and his
testimony was substantially the
same as that of Casey. Jamison
testified that he was present when
Martins body was recovered and
said it was found about rs or 80
yards from the shore.
The third witness was Miss Win
fired Rogers, one of the four sur
vivors of the boat accident.
She testified that the party left
the tea room and proceeded about
a mile and a half at distance of
about 100 feet from the shore.
She described the position of the
seven people in the boat and said
her back was in the direction OF
Montgomery's approach.
She said her attention was at
tracted by the noise of the large
boat, that she turned and saw the
Montgomery boat about 25 or 30
feet away travelling at a rate
of about 25 or 80 miles an hour.
She said that wave about two
or three feet high hit the boat
and that a second wave washed
the passengers overheard. Mont
gomery. she said, did not change
his speed or course.
She related that the Montgom-
cry boat returned in about ten
minutes and took the survivors
from the water.
On cross examination she said

BRITAIN MAY STRENGTHEN
CHINA FLEETsAS JAPS TEST
POWERS WITH NEW INVASION
Tokyo's Defiance to Lon
don Logical Result of
Munich Settlement
BY CLIFFORD L. DAY
copyright, 1888, United Press)


s. LONDON, Oct. Is. (UP)-Ja-
pans invasion of South China
switched the attention of diplo-
mats from Europe to the orient
today and brought predictions
here that Britain would increase
the strength of her China fleet,
at present based on Hong Kong.
yJapan's sudden move was in de-
fiance of warnings by Britain and
France that their vast interests in
that part of the world might be
imperiled. The Daily Express po-
litical expert predicted today that
the cabinet may decide to send
more British warships to Hong
Kong as a result.
Diplomats saw Japan's decision
to "test" Britain and France in
the far east as a natural outcome
of the Munich agreement with
Adolf Hitler, which greatly weak
ened world prestige of the. two
powers and atJthe same time gave
them additioyal responsibilities in
Europe to worry about.
Japanesegplanes yesterday cut
the vital pailway between Canton
and Hong Kong, over which the
British crown colony does most of
.lts 100000, 000-a-year business
with the interior of China. Japan
|rscsl3nd forces pushed toward
Walohow, key city OF Canton's
outer defenses, and a great battle
apparently was developing in ter
ritory which for decades Britain
has treated as her private pre-
serve.
The British ambassador to To-
kyo, Sir Alexander Craigie, warn
ed Japan that British interests
and nationals might be imperiled,
but Japan's polite reply was
suggestion" that third powers CO.
operate with Japan by keeping
their nationals out of war zones
and by notifying Japanese author
tiles 10 days in advance of any
movements by warships or militia
ny units.
France was expected to add her
protest to that of Britain, but it
was certain that Japan would not
be deferred from her South China
operation.
Thus worried European states
men found a first class new prob
lem in their laps before they were
finished with the central Europe
headache popularity referred to as
the Czech crisis.
The British government learn
ed today by study of maps sent
to London by the international
commission to determine the new
German-C zechoslovak borders that
Hitler received a virtually 100
per cent victory" under his IA
nous Godesberg ultimatum.
Another repercussion of the
Czech crisis came from provincial
Norsham, where last night Earl
Winterton, a member of the Brit
ish cabinet, significantly re-af-
firmed an assertion he made at
Shoreham Monday night that
PRUSSIA made only very vague
promises Ito Czechoslovakia) ow-
ing to her military weakness" His
action assumed Importance be-
cause on Tuesday the Soviet am
bassador protested formally at
the foreign office against Winter
toms "mis-statement." Observers
saw in Winterton's act a further
drawing apart between Britain
and Russia in European affairs.
