Johnson Raps President
On Secret Foreign Policy
By the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
Senator johnson, Republican, Of
California, calling for an above
board foreign policy, said today that
any war will be fought by the
common people who will have to do
the dying" and not by the President.
Senator johnson accused President
Roosevelt's administration of con-
Quoting foreign policy "clandestine-
ly'' and of resenting efforts Of those
who tried to obtain facts about
recent sales of military planes to
France.
The Californian said some sup
porters of the administration for
eign policy contended it was one OF
"bluffng." BY blufnng, he added
these persons are hopeful of pre-
venting war
There should be no bluffng on
matters concerning the lives of our
people," the Senator declared.
THE people of the land have q
right to know whether they are be-
ing led into war. There is no way tc
excuse this secrecy"
Senator johnson said he thought
the Senate Military Affairs Commit
tee should make public the full rec
ord OF its recent hearings on the
French plane purchases. The com.
mittee recently voted against such
course.

MOOREFIELD, w. Va, Feb. 15.-
A bandit was shot to death, and two
others, one wounded, were captured
in midnight gun battle with State
police during an attempted robbery

Capt. Moore identified the three
as brothers and members of q gang
he said was accused Of more than
IS robberies in the Lost River Valley,
near the Virginia border.
The slain man, Capt. Moore re-
ported, was Lee Shumaker, 28-year-
old escaped convict. He said the
others were Hade Shumaker, a.
struck in the right leg, and Roy
Shumaker, 20.
Acting on a tip, State police con-
centrated at the warehouse during
the night, hoping to catch the gang
that had eluded them for months in
mountain hideouts.
Capt. Moore said police learned
the brothers planned to rob the
warehouse and then attempt to free
two other members of the band held
in Jail at Petersburg, 20 miles away.
The officer said the pair at Peters,
burg was Randolph Shumaker,
father of the trio, and Roy Skinner
Fultz, cousin and described as
leader Of the gang.
The Shumakers, whom Capt.
Moore described as mountain out
laws and former moonshiners, live
far back in the mountains almost on
the Virginia border.

Mrs. Edward Keatinu
Dies Suddenly al

Wife of Editor of Labor
Wos Once Active in
Newspaper Work
P. Wirephoto.

Mrs. Margaret Gordon Sloan
Keating, 64, wife of Edward Keat-
ing. editor of Labor and former
United States Representative from
Colorado, died today of a sudden
illness at her home in the Wood
ward Apartments.
Mrs. Keating was born in Mo-
nongahela, Pa, and was the daughter
and only child of the late DR.. and
Mrs. James Gordon Sloan, members
Of old Western Pennsylvania FAM
lilies. Mrs. Keating, after leaving
college, went West and for years
was a member of the editorial stan
Of the Denver Post and the Rocky
Mountains News as society editor
and feature writer.
It was while she was working on
the News that she met Mr.. Keating,
then managing editor of that paper.
They were married in September.
1907. When Mr.. Keating was elected
to Congress in 1912, Mrs. Heating
accompanied him to Washington
and, for time, served as his secre-
tary.
Mrs. Keating was active in club
work: was a member of the Con-
gressional Club for a quarter of
century and also belonged to the
Woman's National Democratic Club,
the League of Women Voters,
Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton and the Women's Trade Union
League.
She was fond Of arranging pro-
grams for the various organizations
of which she was a member and
presented many persons to WASH
ington audiences, including leaders
in public life, famous actors and
actresses, noted musicians and many
other celebrities.
She contributed to her husbands
paper, Labor, preparing a column of
humor which attracted international
attention.
Mrs. Keating for many years was
a member of the National Womens
Press Club, and until her health
began to fail, seldom missed one of
the gatherings. Her husband is her
only immediate survivor.
Funeral services will be held at
2 pm. Friday in Gawler's chapel,

isting naval air facilities in Alaska,
the Caribbean and the Pacific.
A subcommittee will meet tomor-
row to decide whether a proposed
new air base shall be located at
Jacksonville or Miami, Fla. This
subcommittee recently inspected
both sites.
Senator Clark, Democrat, of Mis-
souri, promptly raised the question
of whether any of the new orders
involved planes similar to the Army
craft wrecked recently in California
The presence of an official of the
French air mission aboard that
plane started the Senate investiga-
ton and touched of a broad con-
gressional controversy over helping
European democracies rearm.
Some authoritative sources said
100 Douglas bombers in the new
orders were Of the type involved in
the crash.
Col. Rene P. G. Weiser, air at
tache at the French Embassy, de-
clared no military secrets were dis
closed to the mission.
Everywhere we went we were
very carefully guided away from
shops where new work was under
way" Col. Weiser said. I'VE saw
only what we were sold"
The new French orders were dis
tributed among three manufacture
ers. In addition to the Douglas
ships. the contracts were for lis
Martin and 200 North American
bombers.
The latest purchases, which in
clude engines and other equipment,
involve more than $50 900 900. France
last month doubled an order for 100
fast Curtiss- Wright ships placed last
summer. Great Britain recently
contracted for $50 American made
aircraft in addition to 400 ordered
last year.
The total of all the contracts. by
authoritative estimates, considerably
exceeds 500, 100000 and approaches
the entire value of the output of
the American aircraft industry last
year.
Mr.. Roosevelt's recent disclosure
that the French purchases were well
come left no doubt they had full
administration approval. All such
exports must be cleared by the Army
and Navy and the State Depart
ment's Munitions Control Board.
These orders should be mostly
out OF the way before work can be
started on the 5000 additional Army
planes President Roosevelt has
asked" one military official said.
THE export orders, furthermore,
should gear up industry for our own
plane construction, with the result
that We should be able to get planes
faster and at lower prices than
would be possible otherwise" OF
more than score of manufacturers,
eight are virtually idle now, officials
said.
Senator Austin, Republican, of
Vermont, has said, however, he
would insist that the Military Com
mittee call plane manufacturers to
ascertain whether foreign orders
would interfere with filling Ameri-
can Army needs.

Chinese PreIate
Brings Message Of
Blessing for Aid
Bishop Yu-Pin Recalls
Words Of Pope Plus
At Recent Audience

Bishop Paul Yu-pin, China's most
famed cleric, has brought to WASH
ington the last direct message sent
to America by the late Pope Plus XII.
Bishop Yu-pin, an official ennis
sary of his government, had an audi
ence with the Pope on January 18-
one of the last the pontiff granted.
Last night, at the Chinese Embassy,
he told of the Pope's message to
Americans.
Il was just leaving when the Holy
Father called to me:
MonSignor. tell them - those
Americans who helped or will help
the relief work of China-that we
willingly give our special blessing to
each of them'"
Bishop Yu-pin was sent to the
United States to thank the people
of this country for the aid they have
given China and to appeal to them
to continue this aid. so that suffer-
ing among the people of that nation
may be alleviated.
Millions COmforted.
His thanks for the aid given by
Americans was heartfelt, the prelate
said. Money and medical supplies
sent by citizens of this country have
brought comfort to millions OF Chi
nese. And he expressed confidence
that more help would be forthcom-
ing from America for the estimated
10000, 900 war refugees in China.
1T only takes 81 to keep a refugee
alive for a week." he said. Gen
tlemen, 81 can keep a man alive for
month"
In his audience with the Pope,
Bishop Yu-pin explained his mis-
sion-undertaken as the special en-
voy of the Chinese government Re-
lief Commissioners follows:
Cd To thank, in the name Of the
Chinese government. all the Amer
lean organizations which have made
contributions to the suffering Chi
nese refugees; co to inform both
the Chinese in this country and the
Americans about the relief work in
China; 90 to get in touch with
organizations and persons who are
willing to extend their charitable
hands to the course of the relief
work of China.
Sees Victory for China.
The bishop, who visited this coun-
try in the fall of 1887, was elected
Bishop of Sozusa and Vicar Apos-
tolic of Nanking In 1896. Only 81
years old, he is one of the few
Chinese Roman Catholic bishops.
The bishop expressed complete
confidence in an ultimate Chinese
victory over the Japanese.
LAS long as aggression continues,
the Chinese people will hold out"
he said. Chinese victory is assured.
If we get foreign help, victory will
come more quickly. If we get no
help, we will win anyway"
Backing up this assertion, the
bishop issued a prepared statement
in which he analyzed comparative
strengths of the two countries.
China, he said, is stronger today
than when the war Started. Its
army is larger, its currency sounder
and the morale of its citizens is
better. The people are united be-
hind Generalissimo Chang Kali
shek, he stated.
To-day, Japan occupies definite
points in the East of the country
and very long lines of communica-
ton, of which every element OF
occupation is liable to surprise
attack and to being surrounded.
The morale of the Chinese Army
has never been stronger than It
| is today.

decided upon because of an increase,
according to Italian information"
of French forces in TuniSia.
Again the foreign Office declines
to state what information the Ital-
ians claimed or Great Britain has
as to French strength in Tunisia.
Other sources say that Count Ciano
claims that France has at least
10000 soldiers in Tunisia.
Any such claim is recognized by
well-informed sources as rubbish.
This correspondent was given ex-
cellent reason today to believe that
no more than 10000 French troops
are IN Tunisia despite open Fascist
shouts for acquisition of the protec-
torate and that most of these troops
are black. as the French forces
certainly were when I visited Tu-
nisia in December.
France Could Rush Troops.
Admittedly, France could rush
troops to the little Maginot line"
in Tunisia from Algeria and Morocco
but would do so only if threatened
with an Italian invasion.
Count Ciano told Lord Perth, it
was remarked at the foreign ofice,
that it was the intent of the Ital-
ians to reduce their forces in Libya
later if conditions became normal.
Obviously, however, things are not
likely to be normal" so long as
Italo- German demands continue.
Lord Perth's inquiries in Rome, 1t
is emphasized, we're formally justi-
fed by the Anglo-Italian agreement
relating to the periodic exchange Of
military information in addition to
the annual exchange Of such infor-
nation in January.
But exchange OF information
seems a small crown for the once
so highly publicized appeasement
pact which. it is now superabundant-
ly clear, has failed to deter Premier
Benito Mussolini.
In the meantime, the cabinet to-
day is discussing when is the best
moment to recognize rebel Gener-
alissimo Francisco Franco. 1t de-
sires to do so very soon in conjunc-
ton with the French. The London
Times declares today that no con-
dition can usefully "be attached in
regard to the presence of foreign
troops 1t adds: Franco has made
it quite clear that his policy is Spain
for Spaniards, and any attempt to
make the departure of foreign SOL
diers a condition Of recognition
would only offer the temptation to
Italy and Germany to leave a few
thousand troops behind indefinitely,
supposing they should wish to make
difficulties between the British and
Spanish governments"
