Wnlle ne was appointed III foS,
partly caused by the illness of his
wife and his necessitated absence
from home, he did not assume Office
until 1890.
Protested Lack of
An Adequate Living.
It has been stated that at the
time Ar. Randolph was appointed
he placed on record an emphatic
protest in which he said that he was
not making a decent living, and de-
scribed himself as "a sort of mon
srel between the States and the
United States" 1t seems that the
Office created in 1889 was to provide
a legal adviser to the President and
that the Attorney General had no
department until 1870.
Edmund Randolph was the only
son of Sir John Randolph, who was
knighted after he returned to Vir-
ginia from England, where he was
educated He was made the Kings
Attorney General in Virginia.
Learned in the law. an accomplished
scholar and a man of great charm
and brilliancy, whose sympathies
were strongly with the Colonies, he
still believed that his oath as the
Kings Attorney General bound him
with answering loyalty to his SOW
ereign. After much agony of spirit
he decided to leave Virginia and
sailed for England in ITS, accom-
panied by his family, with the eX-
ception of his 22-year- son, who
publicly differed with him, and who
had thrown in his lot with the Col
onies. He bade his father good-by
at the wharf and never saw him
again. 1t is said that Sir Johns
love for America never faltered and
he requested that his remains be
brought back and buried in Virginia
"a request which was later fulfilled
by his descendants.
Descended From a Daughter,
Susan Randolph Taylor.
Young Edmund Randolph mar
ried in 1776 Elizabeth, daughter of
Robert Carter Nicholas, by whom
he had a son and three daughters.
1t is through one of these daughters,
Susan Beverley, married to the emf
nent jurist, Bennett Taylor, that
the line runs direct from the first
Attorney General of the United
States to the present holder of that
office.
In 1910 Mr.. Randolph suffered a
partial stroke of paralysis, which,
while it did not in any way impair
his intellect. caused him to walk
with a crutch. AS one of his old
biographers expressed it, paralysis
Vas the recognized family liability"
He died in 1913 and was buried at
Wildwood, Clarke County, Va. Mr.
Biddle's ancestor, Susan Beverley
who died in 1886 was buried by the
side of her father in the old burying
ground.
From these distinguished Southern
ancestors no doubt Mr.. Biddle in
herited much of the legal ability
evident even in his school days when
he was graduated cum laude from
Harvard law in 1911. The fine law
school record incidentally earned
him the enviable privilege of serving
as secretary to the late Justice Oliver
Wendell Holmes, whose portrait now
occupies a place in the pictorial
parade of the great in the realm of
law. which marches from the main
entrance of the Justice Department
up the grand stairway.

 for Conference

WASHINGTON, July 23-Pinned down bluntly at conference with newsmen, Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox today answered a ques- tion concerning developments in the Far East by warning, Look for a movement out there very soon."
 Questions fired at the outspoken Naval Secretary were prompted by the Japanese governments estab- lishment of radio and. cable censor ship and information that Japan means new military movements in the Far East. sa
 The Secretary answered with his cryptic warning before news of Jap ans demand on French Indo- China had reached the United States.
 Sumner Welles, Assistant Secre- tary of State, has arranged to re- ceive the Japanese Ambassador to- day.
 Amid increasing signs that the United States is preparing new notice to Japan on the threat of their military moves in the Far East, Knox was asked whether the United States fleet is in a position to go wherever necessary to carry out our policy in the Far East?"
 Smiling. Knox said, Yes and refused to elaborate.

General Public Not Aware of Conditions Prevail

WASHINGTON. July 23-Chair- man Andrew J. May, of the House Military Committee this afternoon said he believed the international situation is "even more serious than the general public understands and is rapidly becoming more seri- ous."
 The Kentuckian made the state ment after he left an executive session of his committee at which Gen. George c. Marshall, Chief of Staff, was questioned about the need of retention of selectees.
 Representative Edwin M. Schaef- CT of Illinois. who is opposed to the foreign program of the Admin istration, admitted after the execu- tive session that Gen. Marshalls testimony convinces me that very serious consideration must be given his request for extension of the training service. It may be quite necessary to accede to his re- quest"

 Testifying today before the House Military Committee in behalf of the extension of the period of ser vice beyond the 12-month period, the Chief of the Army Staff as- serted there has been an organized effort of countless outside forces to have members of the First Army sign petitions against the extension proposal.

UNITED STATES NAVY READY TO STRIKE
Revenue Collections in Alaska Reath High Mark;
 Collector Squire Coming

Internal revenue collections for Alaska have reached the $l,500,0 900 mark.
 Collector Clark Squire, wi h headquarters in Tacoma, announc- es that total collections for Alaska during the fiscal year ending June 30 were $1,496, 14374. He said the l940 fiscal year collections were $975, 709.61.
 The gain is $520.434.13, or ap- proximately 53.3 percent.
 Squire pointed out that like increase during the present year would put collections above the $2,000,00O mark. The revenue bill now before Congress probably will result in such an increase, he said.
 These revenues are derived from a variety of taxes. Those with which the general public is most familiar are the income, social security and admissions taxes. There are cor poration income taxes as well as individual income taxes. Many of the income tax returns are non- taxable.
 However, regardless of whether a person is taxed, he must file a return if his gross income reaches certain figures.
 Taxable individual returns in AL aska have mounted to 10,045, Squire said. This is an increase of 5,120, or 103.9 percent, for the year. Returns on taxable incomes cover ing 1889 totaled but 4,925.
 Individual income tax collections jumped from $360, ,446.32 to $679.- 395.5O, a gain of $318,94918.
 Social security tax collections went up from $235,427 to $3l4,928.
 Admissions tax collections leaped from $26,058 to $69. 9.101.
 Collections of the various forms of liquor taxes increased from $19,- 379 to $52,520.
 Squire is expected to be in Ju- neau tomorrow, arriving here after an inspection trip to the Interior and Westward.

British Planned 10 Invade South Sea Nation,
 Says Germany
(By Associated Press)

Far East dispatches broke with the latest Nipponese imperialistic move today as they said Japan has made sweeping demands for concessions in southern French Indo- China, pos sibly- for springboard to attack Britain's great naval base at Singa- pore.
 Simultaneously Reuters dispatch from Hanoi, capital of Frances Oriental colony, is said to have con- firmed officially that the Japanese have demanded the use of facilities in southern Indo- China. By "facili- ties" it was assumed the Japanese meant airfields and naval bases.
 Stin Conferring
 Conferences between French Ad- miraI DeCoux, Governor General of Indo- China. and Major General Sumita, chief of the Japanese mill tary mission, are said to be continu- ing in Hanoi with the end not yet in sight.
 Washington and London watched the situation with mounting anxiety, and Berlin kept an eye on develop ments which might affect the Unit ed States ability to give aid to Brit ain and China.
 The German radio declared, "Ac- cording to news available here the Japanese government has learned that British aims are directed at French Indo-C China. and the Japan ese government is determined to defend its interests by all means at its disposal against such intentions. The French government is likewise believed to share this view"
 British On Border
 In vichy it was officially disclos- ed that negotiations for the tech- nical protection of French Indo- China are under way in both yichy and Hanoi after what French auth critics claimed to have been British troop concentrations were seen along the Malaya and Burma borders in Indo-China.
 Newspapers in German occupied Paris charged General Catroux, ac- tive free-French leader. cruising off the Indo-China coast, with direct ing increasing flows of DeGaullist propaganda. and also accused the British, free-French and Chinese of comforting in view of division of Indo- China.

For the second successive night the Nazis blasted down in aerial attacks on Moscow and admittedly left scores killed and injured, but the Russians declared the raids were an indication of another setback to German ground forces who are said to have made no progress in their new wedges inside the Finnish and the Ukrainian frontiers.

WASHINGTON-Out of 26 major incidents of damage" in defense plants last month, Military Intelli- gence authorities have evidence that fourteen were caused by sabotage. The other twelve were accidents.
 Of the fourteen sabotage cases, four were fires and ten were mechan- ical damage. Two are attributed to Communists; the others to Nazi agents. There is no indication that Communists and Nazis worked to- gether.
 Since the outbreak of the Russo German war, the Communist Party line has somersaulted. The current dictum is, no interference with de- fense output It is significant that since the Nazi attack on the Soviets there has been sharp decline in strikes. <,
 However, Intelligence agents re- port that the party has made no change in its policy of propagandiz- ing soldiers and sailors. This is be- ing pushed as vigorously as before, although with little success. In fact, party generals are so dissatisfied with results that they recently ord cred labor unions dominated by Communists to help their campaign by offering their halls as soldier re- creation centers.
 JAPANESE CONSULATES
 Another significant development in subversive influences relates to the Japanese.
 Since the expulsion of the Nazi and Italian consulates, Intelligence officers have found that the Jap anese consulates in Los Angeles and Seattle have become the chief clear ing houses for espionage on the West Coast. Japanese residents are send ing in a constant stream of reports on airplane production, ship move ments and other military informa- tion.
 The recent arrest of two Japanese spies in Los Angeles caused a furry in Japanese quarters. and number
