Doubt Washington Talks
Con Reach Settlement

SHANGHAI, Aug. 30 (Pl.-Amer-
ican and British residents of Shang-
hal expressed doubt today that any
comprehensive, permanent solution
of problems in the Pacific could grow
out of the Washington conference
between President Roosevelt and
japanese Ambassador Admiral XII
chisaburo Nomura.
Their pessimism was based on
doubts that Nomura was in a posi-
tion to speak for the Japanese Armv
or that Toxic could control strong
militaristic elements.
(Nomura saw President Roose-
welt Thursday. but the nature of
their discussion was not disclosed.
Secretary of State Hull hinted
there would be further meetings.
Meanwhile. foreign military OBJ
servers said the japanese Army was
set to jump in two directions-in the
South against Thailand and in the
North against Siberia. The Jap
anese may be playing for time, how
ever, these observers said, because
the rain-drenched Cambodian jun
giles make move in the South i'm
practicable and Russian resistance
to Germany has upset plans in the
North.
Some high japanese military men
have been reported discussing the
possibility of appeasement toward
the United States. Their terms for
such a move. however, would never
be considered by the United States,
responsible sources here said.
The terms said to be discussed by
the Japanese include:
l. Discontinuance of United States
aid to Chungking.
2. American recognition of the
Japanese-sponsored regime at Nam
king.
3. A United States loan to Japan
to compensate for japanese losses
in the China war and to help recon-
struct v'ar-torn areas and develop
resources.
4. United States recognition of
Manchukuo and Japan's position in
French IndO-China.

Two men were shot and killed
and several others wounded in the
sniper shootings, which still are
unSolved.
Meanwhile. police were virtually
swamped with requests from I'D to
20 police departments of other cities
for questioning of Catoe to determ-
inc if the slayer suspect could be
linked with murders in those cities.
Lynn tMass) police asked that
Catoe be questioned about the slay-
ing of girl there last July 18, and
Garden City, Long Island, informed
the local department that two off,
GERS are being sent here by plane to
question Catoe about the killing of
a patrolman last year. Two Balti-
more detectives came here today to
question Catoe in connection with
two recent murders in their city.
The township of Hamilton, Tren-
ton, N. j.. wired that Capt. James
Keegan was being sent here to in
vestigate any possible connection
Catoe might have had with three
assault murders there in 1898, 1899
and 1910.

The Police Department also re-
ceived a request from Chief In
spector Louis F. Costuma of New
York City that the suspect be ques-
toned concerning the fatal stran-
Cling of Helen Foster, on February
S, 1910.
In anticipation of similar queries
from other cities. local police were
rushing the printing of photographs

Catoe, in signed confessions, re-
lated how he picked up Miss
Strieff on June IS IN his automobile,
which she believed was a taxicab,
and how he entered the apartment
of Mrs. Abramowitz on Sixteenth

The japanese press looked to Pres
ident Roosevelt to answer a mes
sage from Premier Prince Konoye
by indicating the definite desire of
the United States to maintain peace
in the Pacific and bring about a
quick settlement of the issues there.
Newspapers said they regarded the
chances of Japan coming to an
agreement with the United States as
better than the prospects for an
understanding between Japan and
Great Britain.
One reliable source declared, how
ever, that any speculation that an
understanding already had been
reached between Japan and the
United States was premature"
One influential japanese indus
trial leader commented that United
States interests in the Far East
we're much smaller than British in
terests, and indicated this would
leave fewer commercial factors to
complicate an understanding be-
tween Japan and the United States.
