Japan May Stake Life On Tank Issue

TOKYO, Aug - The possibil- ity that Japan will stake her whole Far Eastern prestige on the issue of tankers carrying gasoline and oil to Russia is re- fected in the important news paper Nichi Nichi.
 The newspaper asserted that 1t is not a mere problem of oil shipments but it is a tremendous problem and means success or failure of our own international policy"
 The Nichi Nichi asserted that Japan has made representations on the shipments to both Russia and the United States, contend ing that these shipments are di- rected against Japan and caus- ing disquiet and anxiety to Jap an.
 The Tokyo Times Advertiser, controlled by the Foreign Office, declared that the United States military mission being sent to China constitutes virtual Am erican participation in the war against Japan.

Japanese Envoy For U. s. Peace

WASHINGTON, Aug. = The Japanese ambassador to the Unit cd States. Admiral Nomura, de- clared that failure to heal the breach between the United Stat es and Japan would be a tragedy and the highest kind of folly.
 Nomura paid a brief visit to Secretary of State Cordell Hull Said he:
 We spoke very frankly. We spoke not as diplomats but as human beings. MT. Hull set forth the American position and I sci forth the Japanese position
 Relations between Washington and Tokyo have become increas- ingly tense lately.
 After the conference with Hull Nomura was asked whether the gap between the United States and Japan could be bridged. Re- piled Nomura:
 Tt must be bridged. It would be folly of the worst kind ano tragic. l have a very strong con. viction that the gap will be bridg ed, though I do not know just how"

Price Ceiling Talk Increases. Salmon Ind. Hit

NEW YORK, Aug. 26 - Talk of Federal price ceilings on some foodstdffs. particularly canned goods, occupied the wholesale food markets today as uaconfrm ed reports of price order writ ten to put a ceiling of s2.50 per ease on cohoe salmon touched off the discussion.
 The trade also heard what it though might be a sample of the way the Government planned to fl is needs of canned goods. The Alaska Salmon Packers were told, according 10 dealers. that the Gopernment will require a m lllon cases of specified sizes of cans, and the packers were warn ed, the report said, not to eVade the order partially by packing an abnormal number of cans of oth- CT sizes and then claiming they are unable to furnish the re- quired amount.
 Some canners expressed the op inion that this is the set pattern of similar moves to acquire can ned fruits and vegetables and meats, and those who fail to re- spond or quote prices that the Government considers too high might be required to furnish their proportionate share at prices the Government sets.
 This will include, if necessary, the recall of shipments to com mercial customers, the trade said.

Senator From NY. In Juneau

JUNEAU. Aug. 28 - Senator James M. Mead, of New York, roared into Gastineau Channel yesterday about noon on a Navy observation plane from Sitka for brief conference with Federal officials here.
 Senator Mead is one of a trio of Senators subcommittee of the Senate Defense and Industry Investigation Committee. Two of them are visiting Alaska defense bases on a brief, five-day flying trip from Seattle.
 The other member of the com mittee is Senator Ralph O. Brew ster of Maine, flying today to Ko diak for an inspection of defense work there.
 Out of a white-puffed blue sky a Vought-Sikorsky observation plane from the Naval Air Station at Sitka landed with Hugh Full ton, chief counsel to the Special Committee, dropping in to visit Juneau for a few hours and join Senator Mead who lunched with Governor Gruening.
 "The base at Sitka is in good shape" he said land would make a good showing in fight right today. Progress there is remark able considering the time they have been working
 Yesterday, he said, he, Senat- Or Mead and Senator Brewster, flew nonstop round trip to Ko- diak in a giant naval patrol bomber, attempting to land at the is. and base, but finding it i'm possible because of weather. The ship in which they flew, he aver red, has a crew of seven men, tremendous cruising range and is of the same type as the plane which spotted the Bismark.
 Today Senator Brewster and Colonel Arthur Wilson General Staff Jason officer of the Army to the Committee, flew to Kodiak and will return in time to fly south with the original party in tact. Mead and Fulton will re- turn to Sitka today and then fly csouth on a navy bomber, plan ming to join Committee Chair man Senator Harry s. Truman at Spokane where he is conferring with Washington Senator Mon C. Wallgren.
 The committee will meet in Salt Lake City for defense hear ings Tuesday. While in Juneau, Senator Mead lunched with Gov ernor Gruening and officers of Amber on the vessel, and visit ed the town.

Tommy Fields, Maryland miller. Al
Blozis in the shotput; Ken Lyden
in the $50; Jack Doolan in the TO-
yard sprint and Morty Alnwick in
the $40 accounted for the Hoya
marks. Kehoe beat his ardent rival,
Charley Beetham, with smart race
in the Oriole $50, and Fields enjoyed
the distinction of winning two races
in one, setting a new record for
one event in this dual performance.
Because the weather reduced the
combined collegiate and Governor
Mile fields to half the expected
entry it was decided to run the race
simultaneously. Under this ar
rangement it was possible to match
freshmen and unattached runners
with the collegians and make a
more interesting race of it. Tommy,
recent victor in the mile and 2-mile
Southern Conference championship
rompS, won in the good time of
4:24l beating Bill Morse's 3-year-
old mark of 4:24.7 for the intercol-
legiate trophy. But he was consid-
erably above John Munski's Abs

One Of the evenings prettiest ex-
hibitions went for naught, however
when Georgetown's freshman relay
combination lost a hairline decision
to the Penn Athletic Club in the
A. A. U. test. The Hoyas lost. after
giving the victors a 35-yard handi-
cap, despite great anchor leg by
Lou Collado that saw him make up
at least 20 yards only to lose by a
nose. Off1cially he was timed at so
seconds, but one watch caught him
at 49.8-sensationa for an unbanked
track and fiat shoes.
Georgetown Gains Two Titles.
Georgetown, by the way, won both
the intercollegiate and A. A. U. team
championships with scores of 81 and
19 points, respectively. No other
team had the balance and all
around strength to combat success
fully its lusty athletes.
Washington won added glory in
the scholastic events, thanks to Tech
and Roosevelt High School athletes.

mate, placed third. in a star studded
