Roosevelt upstairs with requests for
autographs.
1t has not been decided yet Just
what action will be taken when the
blame is placed.
To gain admission in the way ac-
complished by the young couple
seemed almost an impossible task.
First Of all, they were questioned by
policeman at the front portico.
The latter turned the couple over to
colored doorman who in turn sent
for the usher on duty He passed
the visitors. There were three Secret
service men on duty in the main
lobby and according to explanations
made today it is not their RESPONSE
bility In cases of this kind to do any
questioning, but merely to keep
their eyes open"
The pair were shown upstairs after
their story had been accepted.
The investigation thus far dis
closed that neither the President or
Mrs. Roosevelt was particularly dis
turbed.
Officials responsible for guarding
the White House and the presi-
dental family feel that while the
New Year Eve "gate-crashing" in
cident was more or less of a youth
full prank, it might lead to future
attempts at White House crashing
or serve as an inducement to presi-
dental autograph-seekers.
Incident at Door.
Another incident at the White
House door this morning for mo-
ment or two created q little excite,
ment. A young married couple, ma
tives of New Jersey, stopping off at
Washington on their way to Flor
ida for the wifes health, strobe into
the White House grounds. Accord
ing to the Secret Service, husband
and the wife presented themselves
at the Executive Office Building,
which they mistook for the White
House, and one of the Secret Serv-
ice men showed them about the
main lobby. On the way out of the
grounds the wife, while passing the
front of the White House, suddenly
left the side of her husband and
started up the front steps of the
portico. She had almost reached
the front door when she was stopped
by Officer Cash of the White House
police force.
The woman resisted the officer at
first and was represented as getting
violently angry. The husband hur-
ried to the scene and pulled his wife
away. He explained to the officer,
according to the Secret Service, that
his wife had been subject to
mental trouble and that since
reaching Washington yesterday her
condition had become worse and he
had decided to call off his Florida
trip and return home. The White
House Secret Service said he ap-
peared distressed by the outburst
and gave assurances that he was
leaving Washington at once.

reported Generalissimo Chang Kai-
shek had arrested 200 government
party and military leaders in a swift
purge" of Wangs peace party"
followers and others lukewarm to-
ward prosecuting the war with
Japan.
Intrigue Charged to Wang.
The former Premier, who went
to Hanoi. French Indo- China, week
ago and was said to be planning
peace negotiations with Japanese in
Hong Kong, was accused by Chinese
of having attempted secretly to
gain the backing of Szechuan and
Yunnan Province leaders to make
peace with Japan on the terms
offered December %.
To this end he was said in Chung
king to- have communicated re-
peatedly with Gen. WI Pei-fu. who
baked the plan. Frequent reports
have named Gen WI as the choice
of the japanese political manipu-
lator, Gen. Kenji Doihara. to head
a Japanese dominated Chinese CEN
tral government.
Yunnan Province, southernmost
of China, is known to have been dis
contented over the extensive use of
Yunnanese troops on the front lines
and the lack of arms and ammuni-
tion for defense of Yunnan itself.
However, Chang Kai-shek was
said to have patched up these dif-
ferences recently.
Therefore there was widespread
discussion on how far the peace
proponents" may have been irving
to create military disunity.
Reliable sources in this connection
said the Governor of Yunnan, Gen.
Lung Yum, was the first to inform
Chang of Wang's departure from
China, telling the generalissimo that
Wang was on his way to Hong Kong
seeking better peace terms from the
Japanese.

order.
Representative Woodrum opposed
suggestions for creation of local nom
partisan boards to handle relief
complaints and eligibility problems.
declaring such a course immeasur-
ably would increase administrative
costs of the w. p. A. program.
Representative Brewster, Repub-
lican, of Maine, predicted the ses-
sion would witness a strong drive
to turn administration of relief back
to the States and limit Federal
participation to financial aid.
Defense Plans Opposed.
On the heels of the relief debate
will come study of the Presi-
dents defense recommendations
which will be made in q special
message. He is expected to advo-
cate large expansion of the air
forces along with smaller increases
in other Army and Navy branches.
Chairman Walsh, Democrat, of
Massachusetts of the Senate Naval
Affairs Committee, however, cau-
toned against building too many
aircraft which might be outmoded
almost as soon as they are put into
service"
He said the Navy should be built
beyond treaty strength if necessary
to put it on par with other powers
and that 1t should have sufficient
modern aircraft for effective co-or-
dination.
Although members freely ex-
pressed the belief that Congress
would accept in principle whatever
defense program is submitted, they
predicted there would be a bitter
fight over the amount of money to
be authorized at once.
