Attack on VIodivostok
Deemed More Likely

SHANGHAI, Oct. II (P).-Foreign
military and naval observers here
expressed the opinion today that
there is now an increased likelihood
of a Japanese attack on the Soviet
Unions big Far Eastern port of
Vladivostok
With the new government in Toxic
and an apparent increase of influ-
ence Of the Japanese Continental
Army, these observers said Japan
may now attack Vladivostok from
the north and west by land, despite
the lateness of the season.
They doubted that Japan is strong
enough to defeat the Far Eastern
Red Army or even to attempt a
large-scale offensive along the en-
tire Siberia -Manchukuo border dur
ing the winter, but they believe
Japan capable of capturing Vladi-
vostok.

Talk of War Spreads
RdpidIy in Manila

MANILA, Oct. IT R.-War talk
spread rapidly through Manila to-
day on the heels of the fall of the
japanese cabinet.
The most frequent question asked
by men on the streets and in clubs
and bars was: when will it come ?"
Practically all quarters appeared
to feel the japanese are moving to-
ward hostile action against the
United States. Manila Japanese
particularly were jittery.
Informed Japanese quarters ap-
peared utterly surprised by the fall
of the government of Prince Konoye,
which, to the distate of mintarists,
had conducted long negotiations
with Washington looking toward a
restoration of full amity. They re-
fused to discuss possibilities in the
naming of a new premier.
japanese newspapermen in Ma
Mia, likewise surprised by the resig-
nation, carefully scanned news re-
ports especially from Washington,
seeking to ascertain outside reac.
tion.

"Old Bluffing Game"
Mr.. Grant asserted in a statement
today that the japanese ARE run
ming their old bluffing game in or
der to keep us agitated, thereby
turning our attention away from
Europe. That has been the strategy
of the Axis, or course, ever since
Japan Joined up"
Senator Wheeler said he had been
told by well-advised observer that
Japan's aim was to bluff" the
United States and scare us into
keeping the Navy in the Pacific"
On the other hand, Senator Var
Nuys, Democrat, of Indiana, For
eign Relations Committee member
told reporters he thought Japan
might try to take the Philippines.
But as far as I am concerned
they can have them" said Senator
Van Nuys, an opponent of admins
tration foreign policy. If we coulo
eliminate the Philippine problem
then I think we would eliminate the
possibility of war with Japan"
Senator Gillette, asked what stel
he believed Japan would take next
said he thought the first move will
be to attack in Siberia" Thus, he
continued, Japan could "set up a
buffer state against any Russian re-
sistance. She must protect herself
from behind before she undertakes
expansion in other directions"
Gillette Sees Danger.
Although Germany has been
pressing Japan to expand south
ward" Senator Gillette declared,
TOXIC has hesitated because it feared
the Russians might attack-probably
with bombers-from Siberia.
The Iowa Senator, who discussed
the Far Eastern situation with Sec
retary Hull last week. expressed the
view that the American-Japanese
situation now carries a far greater
danger" of conflict than does the
fighting in Europe.
He said that until recently this
country had followed a policy of ap-
peasement toward Japan. Until
this summer" Senator Gillette con-
tinued, I'VE were still sending her
fuel for her airplanes and warships
She doubtless has stored up reserves,
and it is not impossible that some
of our appeasement oil may be used
against U.S."
Senator Gillette had this to say
about the resignation of Prince
Konoye'S cabinet:
For some time there has been an
open clash between the japanese
moderates-represented by Konoye
and the group urging a strong war
policy. The indications are that the
war party is winning out, and the
fall of the cabinet makes the
chances of a peaceful settlement of
our differences with Japan very
meager, indeed"
Senator Nye, Republican, of North
Dakota said that the administra-
tion's transfer of two recommis-
stoned submarines to Great Britain
indicated that the Government has

34th Guard Division
May Be Commanded
By Gen. Hart|e
Regular Army Officer
May Replace Gen. Walsh.
Slated for Retirement
BY NELSON NJ. SHEPARD.

Brig. Gen. Russell P. Hartle,
Regular Army officer, was reported
today as likely to succeed Maj. Gen,
A. E. Walsh as commander of the
34th National Guard Division, the
latter being retired voluntarily be-
cause of continued i'll health.
The War Department announced
formally that Gen. Walsh's request
to be relieved from active duty has
been granted, effective October 81.
He has been technically off active
duty during a long illness, and his
request was made following dag
noSis at the Mayo Clinic, Rochester,
MINI.
The War Department commented
that Gen Walsh had discharged
with CONSPICUOUS efficiency" his
duties in the field and as division
commander. He has long been one
of the leading members of the Ma
tional Guard and its association.
Before being appointed commander
of the 34th Division he was adjutant
general of Minnesota.
The impending retirement of Gen.
Walsh, who was too i'll to take part
in the recent Army maneuvers,
marks the sixth of the Is National
Guard division commanders who
have been relieved from active
troop duty in recent months. Ill
ness, age and "other causes" were
responsible for this heavy toll Of
Guard commanders
According to well-founded reports
the "revitalizing" of the National
Guard, as well as the Reserve forces
and Regular Army, is by no means
ended. -Four more National Guard
division commanders. who are either
too old to stand up under the rigors
of modern campaigning or are in
bad health, are expected to be re-
lieved from troop duty in the near
future.
Native of Hagerstown.
Gen. Hartle is now acting COM
mander of the 34th Division having
served in that capacity during the
maneuvers. He is native of Hag-
erstoWn, Md
The five National Guard COM
manders already severed from active
service have been succeeded by
Regular officers an act that no doubt
contributed largely to criticisms in
Congress of alleged unfairness and
prejudice against continuing prom
inent Guard officers on duty. Sec
retary Stimson, however, disclaims
that prejudices have been involved
in any way.
There have been a number of out
standing cases in which Regular
officers of high rank have been re-
moved for the same reasons, namely,
Ill health, age or "other causes"
The latter designation covers a wide
range. including general unfitness,
incompetence or failure to accept or
conform to new theories or condi-
tionS.
Guard Cases Cited.
In support of the denial of dis
elimination against Guard officers,
several instances were cited, but
names withheld. One of the young
est of the newly-created brigadiers
is National GuardSman, it was said,
and another National Guard briga-
dier, who was relieved at the request
of his division commander a short
time ago, was promptly accepted by
the Army. He was placed as an
infantry brigadier in one of the best
Regular divisions.
1t was also contended that two
other National Guard brigadiers
who had shown up we'll have been
given Regular Army posts of re-
sponsibility.

of the sordid performance now going
on, many of our citizens might easily
conclude that this view of the isola

If such conclusion is recalled, even
though the evidence does not warrant
lit, the isolationists will have only
themselves to blame. This thing has
all the earmarks of an inquisition, but
one which can easily backfire on the
"inquisitors.
There are certain facts that un-
doubtedly will be presented to the
subcommittee during the course OF the
investigation that may prove rather
embarrassing to it's sponsors. These
facts pertain to the known activities
of some of Hitler's friends" here who
have been doing more than their little
share to help boost this investiga-
ton.
For example, there is a gentleman
by the name of G. Allison Phelps, a
commentator on a small radio station
on the Pacific coast, who has been
dishing out nazi propaganda rather
regularly Phelps, who calls refugees

the radio that he spent two months
in Washington to help bring this in

which Phelps broadcasts is now under
Investigation by the Federal Commun-

Phelps financial sponsor, according
to the News Research Service, is one

League of the USA, announced today.

Delegation to Convention of
Mont. Fed. of Labor Killed.
Resolution Setting Out Need

Reciting the failure of both the re-
publican and democratic parties and
! their leadership to accomplish any
thing definite 'but recurring depres-
sions and wars" a resolution pres
ented to the state convention of the
Montana Federation of Labor by
Federal Labor Union (AFL) No. 21760
of Plentywood Sheridan county, urged
the convention to take specific ac-
ton leading to the formation of a
Labor party. The resolution was not
adopted by the convention, but caused
some lively discussion.
The resolution as presented, fol-
lows:
ITO the officers and delegates of the
Montana State Federation of Labor

Resolution calling for the forma-

the republican and democratic parties
Whereas, the dreadful chaos that
now grips the greater part OF the
world has not spared the masses of
workers and farmers in the United

Whereas, each succeeding day
draws us closer to the dread calamity
of war, which, like World War No. J.,
serves to increase the wealth of the
already wealthy minority and make
poorer the already pauperized major
ity of the workers and farmers of the
nation, and

bloody conflict can be measured ac-
curately by recalling the flowery
promises" made during World War

Management has responsibility to

which industry could not exist.
Medical plans serving industrial en-

They have been organized for differ

serving industrial employees is that of
the American Cast Iron Pipe company

medical department, free medical care
including examination of new en-
ployes and care of industrial injuries
to its LOO employees and their de-
pendents. This extensive service is
