JAPAN IS MOVING
 TO EAST INDIES
100000 Troops Concen. trated on Hainan Island;
 East Indies Threatened

Shanghai, June ie.-(UP)-Diplo. matte quarters received reports to- day that Japan had concentrated 100000 troops on Hainan Island, dominating the coast of French rn- d.-China, and their fears of Q Jap- arlese expedition against Indo-C China and the Netherlands East Indies in- tensified.
 Tn business circles there was e hardening belief that unless the present Japanese cabinet, under Ad- I1iral Mitkun1asa Yonai, agreed to exert some sort of pressure on French and Netherlands Colonial possessions in the Far East, 1t would fall soon.
 The Japanese Domei News Agency reported from Canton Island that Vice Admiral shigetaro shimada, commander in chief of the Japanese fleet in Chinese waters, had visited Hainan Island yesterday flor in. gpectlon purposes"
 A United Press dispatch from Hong Kong reported that several Allied steamships, including Danish ones, had beeti hold in readiness to leave for Haiphong, chief port on the Indo.China coast opposite Hainan. Hong Kong understood that the ships, before Frances bid for peace, had len intended to pick Up Q labor corps for service in France but 1t was suggested here that they might be used either to reinforce or to evacuate French forces in view of the French govern. Inent move.
 A Domei Agency dispatch from Canton last night quoted c Japanese army spokesman aS warning that f "its antl-Japanese policy" in send- ing arms to China "the Japanese army must wean Indo- China from It's hostility toward Japan in It's ef- fort to crush the Chinese govern. raent."

A Waterbury woman, Mrs. Alvin Turner of 232 Hill street, yesterday witnessed the crash of two army bombing planes, which took e to- tai of l2 lives, at Bellemore, L. l.
 Mrs. Turner was visiting her yis- ter, Mrs. Ann Hartey, at the latter's home in what is known as queens Village, only two blocks from where the planes fell in flames. Eleven army flyers were killed, and the resident of Q dwelling into which one of the planes crashed died to- day of her injuries.
