JAPAN TRYING
 TO MAKE PEACE
(Cont!nued from Page D

I ASthLshuG1 AbVAk 0BC Af Matsuoka and Arsens Henry had not been able to reach an agreement after 6 40-minute discussion of the problem and that another meeting would ie held tomorrow at which the fate Of the Japanese media tion" efforts probably would be de- termined.)
 The official Japanese information board offered no details on the Mat suoka conference beyond & state- ment that 1t was an important in- tervieW."
 GA United Press dispatch from Vichy said that the conference had centered on French proposals to cover the fate of French Nationals and Indo-ChineSe natives in the areas which Japan demands that France cede to Thailand. France appeared to be trying to get per- mission for residents of the pro- posed cession areas to move into the remaining Indo- Chinese regions. Whether Japan opposes this demand was not known)
 Four French officers, 1t was as- serted, assaulted four Japanese at the Palace hotel in Saigon Sunday night and policemen in plain clothes as well as French civilians joined in. Severe injuries were inflicted on the Japanese, dispatches said.
 New Dead Line
 Japan set new dead line-its third-today for the conclusion of peace negotiations between Thailand and French Indo-China.
 Koh Ishii, chief of the cabinet information board, admitted that as the result of communication from the French government, Japan had made minor" revisions in it's final" peace plan, which 1t had sought to impose on France under pressure Of one ultimatum which expired last Friday night and a second which expired during the week end"
 Now, Ishii said, the French and Indo-Chinese delegates here had asked fresh instructions from their governments. These instructions were expected soon, probably to- day, he said.
 Ishii now expressed hope that A satisfactory agreement would be reached by Friday. when the truce between Indo-China and Thailand expires.
 We are determined to have the negotiations concluded by March q" he said.
 Sir Robert Craieie. British am. bassador. visited under Foreign Sec. retary Chuichi Ohashi yesterday, Ishii said. to deny that Chinese troops had entered Burma and to protest against a statement by a Japanee7 army spokesman in Fora moea that Britain would be 'dig- ging It's own grave if it tried to defend Burma with Chinese trcops. The spokesman said that Japan. in that case. would crush both the British and Chinese armies.

 News Is Suppressed
 Scfia, March 4-(UP)-The Bull garian government today sup pressed all mention in the local radio and press of the Soviet statc- ment disappearing entry of Ger man troops into Bulgaria and 1t was believed officials do not desire Bulgarian peasants to learn of the Soviet action.
 Semi-official sources believed that the statement indicated Russia has washed her hands of Bulgaria and possibly of the entire Balkans, at least for the present.
 The Russian acton was a surprise to most Bulgarians and was re- garded as revealing that relations between the Soviet and the AX.s are not all the Axis would like to have the world believe.
 Other developments today in- cluded:
 Revelation of at least one clash between German occupying forces and Bulgarian natives.
 A report by a diplomatic source that King George and the Greek government might retire to Crete and continue to war from there while Q new government on the mainland made peace with the Axis.
 Reports that Turkey has massed 500,000 men In Thrace to meet the threat of force estimated at 300,- 900 men which Germany is mobiliz- ing in Bulgaria.
 Diplomatic quarters here believed that Russia was not informed in advance that Bulgaria was adher- ing to the tripartite pact,
 The Russian statement was dis tributed i'll Sofia but was restricted to use by the foreign press and not a word of the Soviet attitude was allowed to appear in newspapers or in radio reports.

rnleht have to reconsider its policy if Germany threatened Turkey.
 The Russian disapprcval consti- tuted, in fact, . disapproval oi oermany's action as well as Bull Raria's. Thus for the first time since the war started Russia had accused Germany, not Britain, of spreading the war.
 Russia was expected here to adhere to its policy of non-involvement. But diplomats suggested that es German forces deployed in the Black Sea area and poised near the Dardenelles, the common interests of Britain and Russia seemed to grow.
 Russia's announcement was taken to be actually a challenge, the first to German expansion. It was con- sidered . sign of rising uneasinesS at the establishment of German military power near the Darda- nelles.

 "she was on the sofa. I sat beside her. I slipped my left arm around her neck and pulled her head back. Then, with my right hand re- moved my necktie and tied her hands behind her back.
 T carried her to the bedroom and put her on the bed"
 Foley said Civek believed Mrs. Papas was dead when he put her on the bed. She was not raped. Civek ransacked the apartment, collecting jewelry that he said he sold three days later for $25.
 Tn addition to the murder of Mrs. Jensen, police planned to ques- ton Civek about the assault on Mrs. Virginia Barone, 9, of Newark, N. J., two weeks ago. She was at- tackled by @ young man who called at her apartment saying he was Q friend of her husband who was ct work.
 Smartest Police Work
 Foley said that the manner of Civek's capture was "the smartest police work I have seen in my entire career" He did not say what this work consisted of, but 1t was under stood that Civek had been trailed throughout half the United States by his handwriting, which was found on a piece of paper in the Papas apartment and Identified on hotel registers in many cities where Civek had stopped. =
 He was arrested early today at a hotel for men by two detectives who had studied the handwriting on the register and singled out Civek for arrest almost at glance.
 Police flngerprint experts identi- fled prints found on 8 water glass in the Papas apartment at Civek's Foley said Civek admitted that he had been in Mrs. Papas' apartment the day she was murdered, and that he had stolen @ cigaret case and lighter, Q diamond-studded cross, a diamond ring and a watch, but de- nied having killed her.
 Several young couples visited the police station soon after Civek's ar- rest. Police said they had been sum- moned so the women could attempt to identify Civek as the man who had assaulted them recently. They did not say whether any had iden- tified him.
 It was understood that Civek had made the acquaintance of his vic. tins by "hitch-hiking" automobile rides. The Papas, however, had nc automobile and 1t was not learned immediately how he had intruded into the apartment when Mrs. Pa- pas, wife of Q Greek wholesale grocer, was alone.
 Traced to Many Cities
 From clues found in the Papas apartment, police were reported to have traced Civek to cities in the midwest and south, where he usual ly stayed at cheap hotels. He gave his home address as Harrisburg, Pa
 Mrs. Jensen was janitress in the building where she had a cellar apartment. Her body was found on a couch. A necktie was used to strangle her. It was tied in 6 four. in-hand knot and drawn so tightly 1t was removed with difiiculty. As ir Mrs. Papas' case, the killer did mol rape her. The Jensen apartment was not robbed, $i79 in cash being found in & bureau drawer. A neck. tie had been used to tie Mrs. Papas hands but she was strangled with g dish towel.
 Mrs. Jensen's husband, Q walter said the necktie found on his wife's body was not his. Papas could not identify the necktie found on his wife

 "All arguments about the justice or injustice of actions taken regard- ng small countries can only look naive when the big imperial;st pow CTS are wasirg a life and death struggle"
 Tie Soviet communique disclosed that Russia had warned Bulgaria that It's policy was calculated not to advance peace but to spread the war and that Bulgaria could not expect Russian support for It's present policy.
 Extends to Germany
 tRussia SO far as was mace known addressed only Bulgaria. Natural ly, however, It's 6icapproval was ss- sumed to extend to Germany's ac- ton in sending any army to Bul. garia. It had been reported sev. eral weeks ago that Russia agreed to sign a new trade agreement with Germany cnly cn condition that Germany keep its army out of Bull garia)
 Russian newspapers had published the bare fact that Bulgaria ad- he; si to the German-Ital!an-Jap- aness axis Saturday.
 There had Eeen no mention cf the fact that, as Bulgaria signed the a6lhersnce pact, German troops entered the country.
 At midnight last night, however, the ra6do broadcast to the world, and the official news agency TASS announced, that Russia had ex- pressed It's 6isapproval Of Bulgaria's consent to the German military cc- cupation.
 Ivan Altinoff, chief of the poll ticai bureau of the Bulgarian for- eign office, had informed the Rus sdan minister at Sofia, Alexander Lavrishchev, Saturday-the day that Bulgaria signed the axis pact that Bulgaria had consented to tk,e entrance of German troops. Yesterday A. V. Vishinsky, deputy ecmmiasar for foreign affairs. in- formed the Bulgaria minister to Russia. Ivan Stamenoff, bluntly of Russta's oiaapproval.
 Russian sources remained silent on the implication of the Russian warning. But the communique is- sued by TASS was plain:
