men had entered the foreign set
tlement of Annoy, because Of an
alleged terrorist attack on the Chi
nese chairman of the Chinese
chamber of commerce, the Spokes-
man said:
"It may be necessary to take SIM
liar action at Shanghai if a grave
case of terrorism arises"
He said that, if such action was
necessary circumstances would
determine whether the sectors as
signed to the marines and the
British and French troops should
also be occupied.
"I prefer not to discuss such an
unpleasant possibility" the Spokes-
man added.
The spokesman said that a dec
laration by international settlement
authorities that patriotic manifes-
tations would not be tolerated
among persons who sought the safe
ty of the foreign quarter had been
a step in the right direction.
But the principal point is whe-
ther the declaration will be en-
forced he said.
The Japanese entered the settle
ment at Annoy on the ground that
a terrorist had wounded Lii Hsun,
Chinese chairman of the Chinese

Yesterday was the second setback
on successive days for Gov. Olson.
The vote was 80 to AZ despite Gov.
Olson's contention that lobbyists
and advocates should be required
to register their affiliations, Salar-
les and itemized expenditures, as
was proposed by the Donnelly bill.
The previous day, the lower house
voted down the Yorty wages and
hours bill, 81 to "a, in spite OF
Olson's personal statement.
The scheduled showdown on the
oil control bill of Assemblyman
Maurice Atkinson, D., Long Beach
failed to materialize when the au-
thor sent it back TO committee for
revision.
Under terms of the bill, five
man commission to be named by
the governor and confirmed by the
senate would have prorated Cali
fornia's oil production. Atkinson
said he had administration ap-
proval to change the commission to
include the state directors of fl
nance, public works and natural
resources as move to guarantee
the oil industry impartial regula-
ton.
Another administration issue is
set for next Tuesday when debate
opens on OlsonS compulsory health
insurance measure. This bill is
probably the most extensive of the
Democratic platform proposals, con-
templating an estimated s69, 1000, 900
annual program of disqualification
and medical care to be financed
through payroll taxes on employers
and employees and contributions by
the state.

Sank Centre
Teams Matched
Will Go Into Action On
MelrOse Alleys Next
Monday Night

One of those card-topping CHM
axes is being set for the stage at
the Melrose alleys Monday night
when two Sank Centre-manned
teams go into the feudinest round
of bowling in many moons.
Sig's Place (the Martins) pin
twirlers and Pepsi-Cola (the Coys)
are in the heat of one of the best
matches so far as local interest is
concerned. They meet in the open
ing round of the second lap of the
Merchants League play at Melrose.
The deal is that Sig's Place
boys are tied in the first rung
spot with the Cold Spring team
with IL games won and a loss
Of only six. But the plot thick
ems when the fact comes to
light that o those six, Pepsi
COla's dark horse rollers have
crowded them to the wall for
three straight losses!
Pins are really expected to fly
Monday. Both teams are looking
forward to the encounter as one
of the biggest spots of the entire
league play; each is taking all the
ticks possible before the great day
comes. 1t would appear that if
these feudin' boys from the timber
here can be induced to leave their
fowlin' pieces on the front porch
until afterwards, the boys may
really do some bowling. That
comes in the fact that Pepsi-Cola
is not entirely ruled out of the race,
since they are undisputedly in third
rank as the first lap of the 81 week
series closed.
Starting for the two teams are:
Sig's Place-Lloyd Blycker, DR.. A.
J. Mayer, DR.. M. G. Franta, Art
Borgmann, Ed Borgmann, Fred
