 An imaginary high explosive bomb was the signal for the "gas attack. :" A 250-pound mustard gas bomb was supposed to follow the explosive bomb. The control center, detecting the gas, notified the identification officer, the ambulance service, the decontamination squad and demoli- ton men. Air raid wardens mad po- hcemen were swinging the rattles, racing through the streets to see that everyone donned gas mask. The public was expected to carry on its normal tasks while 20 casual ties" were extricated from the de- bris, fo "a touch of realism.
 Brighton put on gas attack re- hearsal last week, using tear gas, but the public was given only brief warning and few persons were car- rying masks, hence the demonstra- ton was considered waste of time.

 A spectator observed, "blimey, I hope they move faster than that if I'm gassed."

 The loud speaker voice apologized because the vapor from the gas was not moving. He said that was be- cause there was no wind. If breeze hould spring up anc carry the va DOT our way it would not harm us, but might give us headache, he said. He suggested we don a gas mask, but nobody budged.
 A few minutes later the voice said it was going to yell "gas," and it wanted everybody to don masks, including the press"
 The yell came and got tangled up on hat, tin hat, gas mask and cigaret mad probably would have bene dead before got the mask on, if there had been any gas in the vi- cinity. We wore the masks a few minutes and were making noises like grunting pigs before the speaker voice told us to unmask.
 Realistic stretcher cases and limp ing and walking cases put on a demonstration and A. R. P. officials said 1t proved the need for means of conveyance to take gas victims to first aid depots.
 The demonstration was intended to bring home to LondonerS the perils of falling to carry gas masks, as the German offensive becomes more imminent. Only about one persons in 10 now carries a mask.

 As much confusion is caused by the earned income credit" as by any other one thing on the income tax blank. The idea, of course, is to make a distinction between money you actually earn by personal serv- ices and money that comes in as interest, dividends. etc. A higher proportion of earned income cuts down the tax, so that, in effect, wages and salaries are not as high ly taxed as other income.
 However, the credit allowed on this can't be more than 10 per cent Of your net income. Maybe prac- tically all Of your net income came from personal services. If it were al deducted. you would have no tax, But only 10 per cent of the net income is allowed.

as three French warShips steamed for a secret destination on the eve of the expiration of the Thailand- French ndo-China armistice and French forces were reported moving toward the Thai border.
 The crack 1880 ton French cruiser Lamotte- Picquet. flagship of the French Far Eastern fleet, steamed quietly out of Saigon last night in the wake of two French destroyers.
 French authorities at Saigon ex- pressed confidence that the armis- tice, which expires at 10 a. m. to- morrow (10 p. m. today EST), would be renewed.
 The extension would be for two weeks.
 Japanese news agency dispatches, however, asserted that French au- thorities were making fresh military preparations for a renewal of fight ing.
 French Troops Move.
 A Domei Agency dispatch from Saigon said French troops were re- ported to have been moving up to the Thailand frontier since Satur- day and that French warships which had left the Saigon area, were believed headed for the Gulf of Siam.
 It was noted that Japanese de- stroyer had left Saigon at about the same time that the Lamotte-Picquet lifted anchor. .
 A Domei dispatch from Hanoi, In- do-China. reported Japanese au- thorities increasingly anxious" be- cause of. :.French warlike prepara- tions." A
 Vice-Admirai Jean Decoux. French commander -in-chief in Indo- China, was asserted to have advised Indo- China authorities to prepare for an emergency fin view of the approach ing danger"
 The dispatch said that newly ar- rived French air force men had been assigned to duties near Saigon and that French war materials were be- ing rushed to Hanoi.
 De Coux previously, according to this dispatch, had ordered all able bodied youths to sand by for pos sible mobilization
 Hope For Peace
 A Domei dispatch from Batavia, Netherlands East Indies, said that trade negotiations between Japan and the Netherlands had taken a turn for the better and that it was believed that mutual understand ing had been reached regarding the general situation" so that talks could be put on a business basis.

 age. Washington police called Kriv- itsky's death a suicide but his friends, including his attorney, Louis Waldman, insisted that he had been murdered by the Soviet secret police.
 Police believed there was no con- nection between the. two deaths, however. They did attach signifi- canoe to an anonymous warning which Borislavsky's wife said he re- ceived in the mail three years ago. She said he ignored the warning, but detectives were inclined to be- lieve it important.
 Borislavsky,s wife, a hospital em- ploye, sai dhe had left home for a stroll and that she had given him 35 cents. Eleven cents was found on his body.
 Col. Peter Zouboff, @ friend of Borislavsky and treasurer of the Russian cathedral had visited the BoriSlavsky home last night. He said BoriSlavSky was graduate Of the Russian Military Academy and had been a Colonel in the engineer ing corps of the Imperial army. He said Borislavsky had been working on a device for eliminating smoke and that he had invented bomb, the patent on which he had sub mitted to the war department. Army officials hda replied favorably but had not accepted the invention, Zouboff said.
 Asked whether he believed there might have been 6 political motive in Borislavsky's assassination, Zou. boff said, mo. he had no political affiliations. He was a man of sci- ence."
 Mrs. Bor!slavsly said her husband had no enemies SO far as she knew. She said he came to the United States In 1921, was naturalised as soon as possible. and that he had a degree from Columbia University here. He had suffered from 6 heart condition for seven years, she said, and walked with a cane.

Vice. Admiral Teijiro Toyada, vice navy minister, strong note Of sllS- picion was apparent as to Amer ican motives in fortifying Far East ern bases and American and Brit ish policy toward Japan,s attempt to mediate between Thailland and French Indo-China and to negotiate trade" agreement with The Netherlands East Indies.
 Both men spoke. in answer to questions, before the house deficit bonds committee.
 Ohasili said:
 There is no reason why Britain and the United States should ob- ject to Japan's mediation between Indo-C China and Thailand or Ja- pans trade negotiations with The Netherlands East Indies. and in this respect Japan will closely watch Anglo moves" a
 He said that Japan at present was in an advantageous position in every respect with strong navy and army, and that therefore it was capable of executing it's diplo- macy.
 Toyada said:
 "The Japanese navy is not grave ly menaced by the present state of American military preparations in the Pacific. However, the navy al- ready has decided on proper counter measures, fully considering all cir cumStanceS"
 He said American military prepa- rations were taken in order to "en- circle" Japan, ard cited in sub Stantiation of his statement $4,- 100000 appropriation to fortify Guam.
 Watches Britain, U. S.
 (The Domei news agency, in a broadcast picked up in New York, quoted Ohashi as saying that the Japanese government was watching closely any attempt at American British interference in Japan'S mediation efforts and its negotia- tionS with The Netherlands. He said that Britain and America were re- ported conducting "maneuvers" to hinder Japan in it's Thailand- French mdo- China negotiations and the Chinese war. Japan, he said, would be prepared to meet "any situation"
 Toyada, according to Domei, said that the navy was prepared to meet any situation and that American ac- tion in fortifying Guam was bold step aimed at ercircling Japan.")
 The influential newspaper Nichi Nichi said that if necessary Japan would destroy Britain's Singapore and Americas Guam "by Q single blow"
 Neither Singapore nor Guam as defense bases could do anything more than spur Japan to hasten It's peaceful" advance to the South Seas. Nichi Nichi said.
 "In the event that Japan ans. wered the unjust war challenge, Sing. apore, which is just beyond Japan's nose. and Guam, less than one. third the distance from Japan to the United States, would be dc. stroyed by Q single blow" it con- tinued. Therefore the Japanese people would urge Britain and America to stop such useless fors tlfcations for tho sake of peace tn tho Pacific aS well as the world at ihfge.
