Japan DiscIoims Plan
To Blockade Honq Konq

HONG KONG, July 3 P).-Jap-
anese Consul-General K. Okazaki
issued statement today disclaiming
any japanese intention to blockade
this British crown colony by mill
tary measures taken along the COL
ony's mainland border.
The Japanese actions, Okazaki
explained, in no way blockade the
inflow of Hong Kong's food supplies,
since, he said, all coastal and foreign
shipping continues unmolested.
japanese military measures taken
along the mainland border are solely
to plug this 2o-mile gap in Japan's
frightened and extended - supply
blockade against the areas Of China
controlled by Generalissimo Chang
Kai-chek, the consul-general ex-
planned. ''
The Japanese, he said, will ar
range to permit foods to pass
through these mainland lines to
Hong Kong.
Okazaki's statement appeared to
ease Hong Kong's apprehension re-
garding the intentions of Japan. The
japanese previously had in general
terms disclaimed hostile intention
against Hong Kong, but nevertheless
their moves in the Orient in the
wake Of British and French reverses
in Europe have been watched with
anxiety.
Neutral observers said Japan's
force along the Hong Kong border
probably was of less than 1000 men.
They thought it was not large
enough to threaten the colony.
1t was announced today that Mai.
Gen. E. F. Norton, at present COM
manding the western district of
India, had been appointed Hong
Kong's first military governor since
1912. He is expected to arrive here
by air soon.

GLACIERS
IN PARK

Glacier National parks icy
patriarchs, the glaciers them
selves, are nearing the climax
of their annual "strip-tease,"
Park Naturalist George c. Rhule
said recently.
Heavily cloaked in snow each
winter, the glaciers often appear
to the visiting public early in
the summer season only as large
snow banks resting in mountain
cirques. AS summers warmth
melts the snow, however, the
glaciers true surface becomes
more and more exposed to the
visitors gaze, and during the
latter part of the season, be-
fore new snow protects it, the
glacier itself may melt back sew
eral feet. 49,
This summer, owing to a mild
winter and an unusually warm
summer, the snow has melted
