Blankets In The Wash

If your blankets come from the
wash "stiff as board" or stretched
out Of shape, chances are that your
washing technique is all wrong, ac-
cordng to the CONSUMERS GUIDE
publication of the Consumers Counsel
Division Of the AAA.
"Wool, due to the water it absorbs
is much weaker when wet, and must
be handled with care" informs the
GUIDE.
Rubbing and twisting strains the
fibers, gives them chance to inter
lock or felt. Original nufhness is de-
stroyed, leaving the blanket without
the warmth and softncss it had when
new.
"Only soft warm water and neutral
soaps should be used. Press the water
and soap from the blanket; don't wiring
them out.
"When you dry the blanket, be sure
its weight is evenly distributed on each
side of the line; that way you'll put
minimum of strain on the fabric. It's
a good idea to shake the blanket Oc.
casionally when drying. That will hell
to restore the lluffness Of the nap"

BY JAMES R. YOUNG


TOKYO, Feb. IL G.N.S)-Jar
pan today uneqmvocally respected
the demand Of Great Britain, the
United States and France for In
formation on her navalbuilding
plans.
The governments formal reply
to the identical notes sent by the
three powers as a result Of reports
Japan is building 45,o00-ton battle
ships was made public late tonight.
JAPAN BLAMES OTHERS
The note declared Japan has
no alternative but to expand her
navy because Of the British and
American programs. It character
lied as "dogmatic" the assump.
ton that Japan is building beyond
treaty limits, but pointed out that
so far as Japan is concerned mo
fair or equitable treaty exists"
Shortly before, Japan had re-
piled to Secretary of State Cordell
Hulls protest over the recent Sc
ries of provocative incidents and
mistreatment Of Americans at
Marking and elsewhere.
For this situation, Japan ex'
pressed regret, blamed it on Con
fusion" resulting from the
cleanup of Chinese remnants, and
stated adequate steps had been
taken to prevent recurrence.
HIROHITO APPROVES
After Emperor Hirohito had ap.
proved it, Japan's reply to the
naval note was handed to United
States Ambassador Grew. At the
same time, a. reply was given to
Sir Robert Leslie Craigie, British
ambassador.
Both notes declared Japan has
no intention whatever Of possess
ing naval armamentS that would
menace other powers. They
branded as "dogmatic" the as.
sumption that Japan is exceeding
London treaty limits simply be-
cause she does not supply the in
formation demanded.
In brief, the notes blamed Brit
ish and American naval building
for measures which Japan has
felt obliged to take.
At the London naval conference,
the notes declared, Japan proposed
drastic reduction Of ornaments,
with total abolition of battleships
and aircraft carriers (which are
purely aggressive weapons"
TOTAL TONNAGE BASIS
At the same time. Japan con.
tended that qualitative limitation
Of ornaments unaccompanied by
Iquantitative could not bring about
an equitable disarmament distribu.
ton.
Japan has alerady insisted upon
a quantitative or clobular total
tonnage instead Of qualitative
limitation by catagories as en-
bodied in all existing treaties. The
japanese conception Of a common
upper limit" would permit each ma.
ton to build as many ships Of a
certain class as it needs, provided
the total does not exceed the gross
tonnage agreed upon.
Unfortunately" the notes
declared, "the views Of the i'm.
perial government Of Japan
were not shared by your and
other governments.
Failure to accept Japan's
reasonable desires resulted in

WRIGHT JURORS
DEADLOCKED:
EVIDENCE
Observers Predict
Verdict Is Near

LOS ANGELES, Feb. IL (I.N.S0.
A jury Of eight men and four
women today resumed delibera-
tions as to what the fate of Paul
A. Wright shall be for the murders
of his pretty wife and best friend,
John B. Kimmel, on November g..
Some court room observers pro-
fessed to see indications Of an early
verdict, despite the 1900 pages Of
evidence.
Although there has, been no in
dication how the jury is voting, it
was predicted it might even reach
an agreement today on his guilt
or Innocence, because of a sig
nificant request of the panel.
ASK BALLOT PAPER
After receiving the case from
Superior Judge Ingall Bull at 5:35
p. m. yesterday the jury asked for
a copy of the judges instructions
"a gesture that frequently indi-
Gates a verdict is near.
It also requested a supply Of
ballot paper and was supplied with
the murder weapon, photographs
and medical dispositions made in
Chicago, on a sterilization opera
tion undergone by Wright.
Although most veteran I court
room observers predicted an early
verdict, others saw long drawn
out deliberations ending In a dead
lock.
WRIGHT SHAKEN
Wright, shaken with the ordeal
of the month-long trial. was re
ported frequently asking his jailors
if a verdict was imminent.
AS Ernest Roll, chief prosecutor,
closed his case, he told the jurors
that in the event of a conviction
the degree of crime was theirs to
decide.
Returned to his cell in the
county jail, after hearing Judge
Bull instruct the jury, Wright was
almost in a state Of collapse. He
was pale and trembling, although
it was noticed he was obviously
pleased when the death penalty
was not asked.
UNDER DOCTOR
Several times, as Prosecutor
Roll pounded away at defense
arguments, Wright wept and shud-
dered. His attorney, Jerry Gies-
Ter, put his arm around his thin
shoulders and comforted him.
Wright was under care of a
physician last night, suffering
from a stubborn chest cold.
