Soldier, Mrs. Wright
Disagree on Whether
He II Marry Cobina
Wealthy Corpl. Beoudetts
Suys at Hotel Press
PurIey It's All Set
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
SEATTLE, Sept. 3.-Corpl. Palmer
Beaudette and Cobina Wright, sr.,
appear to be in sharp disagreement
as to whether the corporal is to
marry Cobina Wright, jr., in New
York City November IA.
Corpl. Beaudette insists it's so. All
arrangements, he AYERS, were made
at a week end consultation with the
Hollywood actress and night club
singer near Reno, where the Wrights,
mother and daughter, are staying.
But at Reno, Mrs. Wright assured
newspapermen 1t was all mistake.
There Is no truth at all in the
statement that Cobina will marry
him." she said. "She is too interested
in her career to marry him or any,
one now"
To this comment Cobina added
nothing. The former New York
glamour girl was too i'll to come to
the telephone, her mother said.
The Army corporal brought his
version of the betrothal back to
Seattle yesterday by chartered air
liner. The flying trip here from
Oakland, Calf, cost him 81 500.
This was high price, he agreed,
but not for Miss Wright's company.
Having just come off Army
maneuvers, I was naturally anxious
to see Cobina," he said.
And because his infantry regiment
is leaving Fort Lewis today to re-
turn to its headquarters at the Pre-
sidio in San Francisco, Corp.
Beaudette was obliged to rejoin his
company last night.
I'm going to see that I have a
reservation to New York we'll in ad-
vance of the wedding-providing I
can get Uncle Sam to get me time
of, >" he said.
Corp. Beaudette formerly lived at
Carmel, Calf, and said he is a
grandson of o. j. Beaudette Of De-
troit, one-time auto body manu-
facturer. He now claims Los An
geles as his address.
During the time his Army unit
was on maneuver in Washington,
the s54-a-month corporal main
tanned an expensive suite at one Of
Seattle's leading hotels, and it was
there he received the press last
/ night.

preston of good will if she expected
the United States to do likewise.
Admiral Turner was said to have
told Jill Kasai, member of the jap
anese Diet, in an interview at Wash
ington, that belicose views attributed
to some State Department and naval
young bloods did not reflect the
general American attitude.
He was quoted further as saying
the United States Government and
Navy wanted to avoid war with ia
pan. but that there had been hard
ening of public opinion against ia
pan, especially since her move into
French Indo-C China.
The newspaper account said Kasai
commented that United States sup
ply shipments to Vladivostok and
the freezing of Japanese funds in
the United States stimulated Japa-
nese feeling and suggested recon-
sideration.
"Give and Take" Necessary.
Admiral Turner was quoted as re-
plying: ut seems to me that Japan
always demands that only the
American side show good will, but
all matters must be based on the
principle of give and take"
Shoju Koyama, Speaker Of
the Japanese House of Repre-
sentatives for the last four years,
and Kazutami Tago, deputy speaker,
resigned today simultaneously with
the formation Of a new House Of
Representatives national service
federation among the Diet, replacing
the recently disbanded Diet Mem
bers Club.
Presumably the Speaker and dep
uty had opposed formation of the
federation as a trend toward de-
creasing the prestige Of the Diet.

with the traffic executives to discuss
general rate reductions on petroleum
from the central part of this coun-
try to the Atlantic Seaboard States
and meeting of the two groups has
been arranged for tomorrow"
Mr.. Pelley appeared at the COM
mittee's request to discuss the pos
sibility Of using tank cars to help
increase the flow of oil to the East.
The railroad man said that
despite the general increase in the
transportation of oil production, the
use Of rail tank cars for that pur-
pose had declined in recent years,
and hence a surplus of cars was
available.
Walsh Protests Curtailment.
Before Mr.. Pelley submitted his
statement, Senator Walsh, Demo-
crat, of Massachusetts, described the
enforced curtailment of gasoline
sales in the East as a "glaring ex-
ample Of beaureaucratic blundering''
and appealed to the committee to
find some rational plan" to assure
fuel oil and gasoline to Northeast
erners this winter.
Senator Walsh's written protest
against blanket cuts in gasoline de-
lveries was made a part of the COM
mittee record.
Senator Walsh issued his critical
blast after Mr.. Davies announced
yesterday that September gasoline
deliveries to filling stations would be
held 10 per cent below July sales.
The reduction, the same as the orig
inal cut which was in effect the last
half of August, means that pleasure
drivers must continue to get along
with about IS per cent less fuel than
in July.
Vehicles in essential public and
commercial services will be per-
mltted to take on what gasoline
they require, thus leaving non
essential vehicles to account for the
full reduction.
Voluntary Rate Cut.
Eastern and Western railroads.
meanwhile, joined in a voluntary so
per cent cut in the freight rate on
crude oil, to encourage rail ship
ments from the mid-continent to
Eastern refneries. The new reduced
rate of 212 cents gallon compares
with the steamship tanker rate OF
! cent.
Oil men said the new rail rates
should prove helpful in making up
the Eastern shortage.
With an all-night curfew on gas
ollne sales to pleasure cars already
effective in seaboard areas from
Maine to Florida, all of West Vir-
ginia was ordered yesterday to OBJ
serve the Z pm.-7 am. closing. Pre-
viously only the extreme Eastern
portion of the State was affected.
Senator Walsh told the committee
that the existing uncertainty ano
disputes, and the confusion as to
ways and means of curtailing con-
sumption of gasoline has created
an intolerable situation that 1t would
