Japanese Consul General Tashiro
was quoted in Japanese-controlled
newspapers today as having told

the concession barriers was merely
que TO the natural emotion of Jana

In his statement on possible
foreign cooperation with Britain.
the japanese Army spokesman de-
clared Britain was attempting to
persuade the United States to snatch
her chestnuts out of the Far Eastern
fire and added:
III British propaganda is success

reprlsals against the japanese, then
Japanese military authorities would

Reliable sources said there were
improved prospects that the block
ade, now in its seventh day, might
be lifted tomorrow as far as Chinese
were concerned
The Chinese Chamber of Com

during the three-day Dragon Boat
festival, beginning tomorrow
japanese were said to be holding
out for full 100000, and the
Chinese organization was reported
to have raised $500, 900. The Chinese
Chamber of Commerce paid Japa-
nese $500000 to lift a blockade en-
forced on the Chinese New Year
last February, thus permitting the
annual settlement of affairs.
(Chinese, who still follow the
customs of their ancestors, feel
compelled to settle all debts,

George Diffenbaugh, Kenwood pro,
is getting unpopular with his fellow
pros around the Capital, simply be-

first money in golf tournaments.

par 67 yesterday to win first money
in pro sweepstakes tourney staged
by the Maryland State Golf Asso-
citation, and with Merrill Whittlesey
OF Argyle, also won the top prize in
the pro-amateur tourney.
Diffenbaugh and Whittlesey (the
latter aided by a 12-stroke handi-
cap) scored 10-under-par better
ball of go. They had so many 3s
1t made your head swim, and at that
they finished with a 5 on the easy
par-4 final hole. Their mines were
oU ana 81.
Diffenbaugh also paired with Ed

second in the pro-amateur, with
50. Tied with them at that figure
were Leo Walper and r. E. Jones of
