Tells Of Embassy Death.
Mr.. Fenning also related this
story:
An Ambassador here summoned
a physician to his Embassy and led
the doctor up flights of stairs to the
attic. There the doctor heard the
Ambassador wife singing a dirge
and saw her son hanging from
rafter. The Ambassador demanded
that Coroner hewitt give no publicity
to the case After the problem had
been carried to the Commissioners
and the Secretary of State a certifl-
cate of death was issued quietly and
filed in the District Building
The case of the three dead Chi

diagnosed by police as two murders
and suicide, DR.. hewitt said. His
examination of wounds indicated
three murders and an arrest was
made in New York within "a hours.

Mrs. Roosevelt attended, walking
in slightly behind the President. Mr..
Roosevelt was on the arm of his
naval aide, Rear Admiral John r.
Beardall. Maj. Gen. Edwin M. Wat
son, presidential military aide and
secretary, came in the same group.
There was scarcely time for the
radio announcers to complete their
hurried iDtroductions and the pho
tographers to get quickly snapped
pictures before President Roosevelt
raised his hand and began to speak.
Within the third sentence of
sparse introduction to the subject al
hand the President said simply and
sharply that Hitler shas attacked
our shipping"
Interrupted by Applause.
He was interrupted several times
by applause. He was glad, he said,
that the list OF modern American
heroes" compiled by the Nazis did
not contain his name, and there was
burst of applause. Hand clap
ping and cheers stopped him when
he said the forward march of Hit
Ter > can be stopped ''' and
will be stopped" The huge crowd
applauded vigorously when he said
the United States does not propose
TO take attacks on United States
ships lying down"
His most tumultous applause, how
ever, came when he interpolated
reference to John L. Lewis, without
mentioning the C. I. o. leader bv
name. The Nation must speak from
every assembly line, yes, from every
coal mine" he said, in a rebuke to
the labor leader who has refused to
cancel a strike in the captive coal
mines.
Guests at the dinner partook of a
simple Navy dinner with brisket and
mulligan, Navy bean soup and
boiled "spuds."

TOXIC, Oct. 28.-A japanese
government spokesman expressed
hope today that Washington would
deepen its understanding" of ia
pans position despite what he
called the strong views voiced
Friday by Secretary of the Navy
Knox at Washington.
Koh Ishii, chief liaison officer for
the foreign press. said he was
frankly surprised at Mr.. Knox S
assertion that a clash with Japan
was inevitable if she continued her
program of expansion.
Asked to comment on reports that
the United States might invite a
japanese mission to Washington to
discuss Pacific problems, Ishii said:
''It is a good idea, an interest
Ing idea, but it would be better if
the United States sent a mission to
Japan"

minister. but added it was possible
some member of the embassy staff
might return for conferences.
Reports of Clash Denied.
Turning to Japanese Russian re-
lations, Ishii fatty denied Soviet re-
ports that Japanese patrols had
clashed with Russian troops on the
Siberian border.
The spokesman disclosed that |

delegate extraordinary to French |

today, but lodged a question con-
cerning the exact nature of his |
mission.
