New York, May 26.- (UP) - Friends of Ignace Jan Paderewski feared today that he would never play the piano in public again.
 Fifteen thousand persons were in Madison Square Garden last night. The great piano on the stage was open, waiting for the old masters fingers. The audience buzzed with anticipatory conversation. The hour for the concert passed. The audie- ence clapped hands impatiently. A voice boomed out over the public address system.
 "Mr. Paderewski will be forced to postpone the concert because he has been subjected to . slight heart at- tack"

 The statement pays tribute to Senator Edward P. Egan and Rep. Hugo Guastaferri of Waterbury for their efforts on behalf of. the bill, also to Republican State Chairman Benjamin Harwood and Democratic State Chairman J. Francis Smith. Others receiving plaudits are Speak CT Walter Howe, Rep. w. Ellery AL lyn, and Senators J. Howard Rob- erts, Anthony Rich and Joseph Downes.

Leather-L Divers Tackle Sub Raising
Frank F. Miller, First Called on to GO Down-Theres Big Job Ahead in Getting That Ship Up to
 Surface in Safety
BY HOMER JENKs

United Press Staff Correspondent
 Portsmouth, May 26-(UP)-The submarine Squalus belongs to the divers now. They are the rough, leather-lunged men of the service who forever squawk about their work but scramble over one another to be first to go down after them when they get trapped below" Danger ous?
 T heard a dozen men ask to be first down Wednesday morning and I got the call. maybe because I've been diving for the navy for IT years," Diver Frank P. Miller said.
 "But I can tell you that and every other man who has gone down 40 fathoms to the Squalus have been through an experience they will never forget.
 Work in Darkness
 "You're working in total dark ness at that depth, and the pres sure is seven times greater that it is at the surface-105 pounds a square inch. I was down on the S-4 and S-51 jobs and they were nothing compared to this. The S-4 was only down 108 feet and there's no comparison between that and 240 feet.
 There's a big job ahead in get ting that ship up."
 Miller got the job of going down from the salvage ship Falcon to at tach the down haul' cable of the diving bell to the sunken sub marine. That was the preliminary to rescuing the 33 survivors. The bell couldn't have been used unless a diver had gone down to attach the cable. Divers had to go down again three of them-to release the bell when it fouled on its line on the way up with the fourth and last load of survivors and was held fast four hours, 150 feet below the surface. A diver had to go down in the bell for the last, perilous inspection of the inside of the Squalus, to make certain that the other 26 men were dead. From now on, it will be up to the divers to salvage the ship and its dead men.
 Names Best Divers
 Miller doesn't think he is the best diver, or the gamest.
 That fellow is Fred Sibisky, he said, "the fellow who went down to hook that diving bell onto the stern and opened the after hatch

JAPAN BEGINS TO

Japanese Bitter Over Pact Signed By France, Bri-

By JOE ALEX MORRIS United Press Foreign News Editor)

United Press Foreign News Editor)
 Japan stirred up grave threats of retaliation in the War East today against the decision of Great Bri- tain and France to pool their armed strength with Soviet Russia in com- pleting the European security front.
 On the surface, neither the Jap anese nor their moral allies, Ger many and Italy, were disturbed by the historic change of British policy toward Moscow but indirectly the sudden flare up of international controversy in China waters indi- cated the tremendous implications of this weeks developments in Eu- ropes diplomatic conflict
 Today's developments included:-
 1-After a conference of defense ministers, Britain invited Soviet War Commissar Klementi Vorosh- ilov to attend British army maneuv- CTS in September. The unprece- dented visit of the Bolshevik revolu- tionist and commander of 2,500, ,O00 soldiers probably will be followed by 8 visit by British War Minister Les lie Hore-Belisha, descendant of a wealthy Jewish family, to Russia to attend the Soviet maneuvers, thus completing British French Soviet general staff cooperation.
 2Japan, despite general belief that she had been given assurances, by Britain that the British Russian accord would not apply to the Orient, ran into new and more seri- ous demands that the government join the German-Italian military alliance. Hiroshi Oshima, ambassa- dor to Berlin, and Toshio Shiratori, ambassador to Rome, both refused to advise the Nazi and Fascist gov ernments that Japan had turned down participation in the military

T believe in the accuracy of the sheets because I have checked them back and forward so many times," he said, as Attorney Joseph J. Seaman suggested that the items contained on the tapes might represent pay ments to truckers other than Cop peto. [ Brown reiterated his faith in the accuracy of the tapes despite the fact that defense counsel pointed out an item of $708O5 contained on his schedule of payments to Coppeto, as traced from the adding machine tapes" Nowhere on the adding rna- chine tapes was there such an item, therefore the accuracy of the tape is questionable!" cried Seaman, di- recting the second day of cross ex- animation of the witness.
 Not Questionable
 'sNo, the accuracy is not question: able" replied Brown. He admitted, however, "There are one or two items left of that should have been put on." t@
 When Brown said that he had proved the adding machine tapes by comparison with bank records and other records, Seaman asked that the statement be stricken out, but his motion was denied.
 The 24th week of the trial will be concluded this afternoon with Sea- man continuing his cross examina- tion. It is understood that he will continue the questioning throughout next week, which will constitute but three days. There will be no session of the trial on Tuesday, Memorial day.
