Japan Defies American, British Economic Pressure, Poise Troops
 Thailand-Crisis Expected Month

UNDATED, Aug. 2 (P-Japan defed the American and British economic pressure after Presi- dent Roosevelt's embargo on avia tion fuel to Japan. Her Minister of Commerce, Vice-Admiral Sak onji, said the situation was "so tense that single spark is suffic- tent to cause an explosion" Si- multaneously, foreign military circles in Shanghai, which pre- dicted Japan's current move in IndoChina, said they expected a crisis in Thailand within a month.
 Japanese troops were reported massed at Cambodia, near the Thailand frontier. Japanese plan es are poised within two hours flying time from Bankok, the Thailand capital. Usually relia- ble Japanese sources in Shanghai said Tokyo tentatively approach Thailand already, with the object of welding the country to Japan's So-called "co-prosperity sphere" " This was further supported by a statement from authorized quar- ters in London that Japan de- manded military bases from Thai land, within 400 miles striking distance of Singapore; and con- trol of the country's rubber, rice and tin production.
 In Tokyo The Japan Times and Advertiser, organ of the Japan csc Foreign Office said flatly that British and United States moves to cut off Japan's vital supplies of oil, tin and rubber will only speed her program to win econ- omic self-sufficiency in the south orient.

At Seattle, the Heian Maru all so piled raw silk on the docks and was posted to sail as soon as loaded. At sea, the Asa Maru, which left Honolulu Friday with 40 American passengers and a three million dollar cargo of raw silk maintained radio silence on orders from Tokyo.
 Dispatches from the Far East said the departure of the Hikawa Maru, the Nitta Maru, and other Japanese ships, scheduled to sail for the United States, were post poned indefinitely. Passengers aboard the Nitta Maru, enroute from China ports to San Fran cisco, were taken off at quaran- tine when the liner arrived at Kobe.
 Shanghai dispatches said that Japanese troops are still arriv- ing in increasing numbers at Dairen, Japan's port of entry at Manchukuo, where Japanese fore es along the USSR- Siberian bor- der were reported strongly re- inforced. Unconfirmed rumors of new Japanese-Russian clashes 3 ong the Manchuhuo-Siberian frontier, circulated at Shanghai, but the Japanese Army denied them.

JOINT TAX FOR MARRIED COUPLES

WASHINGTON - The House Ways and Means Committee re- fused to write into the new three and half billion dollar tax bill relief for taxable married couples.
 By a 19 to 9 vote the commit tee decided that married couples must file joint income tax returns whether their earnings are sep arate or not.
 A man and his wife must, if the bill is approved in its present form, file a tax return based on the entire family income. They may not as heretofore, pay as in- dividuals and thus gain higher to tai exemptions on their earnings.
 In taking the new action the Committee made it clear that the new law will not affect joint in- comes of $4,000 or under and will deal leniently with the $4,000 to $8,000 class.
 The requirement will add $33 to the tax paid by man and wife without dependents whose total income is $5,000 year. The Com mittee estimates that the new pro vision will affect only one-tenth of tax-paying married couples.

Embargo Stops Two-thirds Japan's Gas And Oil

WASHINGTON, Aug. ? (P) - Japan faced a showdown in her program of expansion southWard as Roosevelt acted with an en- bargo on aviation fuel and dras- tically reduced other oil exports on which Japan depends for more than tWo-thirds of her gaso line and lubricant needs. Since Britain and the Dutch East h. dies are the only other available major sources, it imposes a strin- gent export control and financial restrictions on oil and other mili tary necessities. Petroleum au thorties considered that Japan's war machine and industries must now run on principally hoarded and diminishing oil stocks.

Ives "The Greatest Man" was a.
song of the type that Mr.. Thomas
sings in a manner all his own.

Thomas received his due from the
enthusiasm which he aroused in his
listeners.
Some years ago the famous bari
tone opened his program with a
group of songs with texts by Shake
speare. Yesterday he selected three
songs and two arias by composers
from each century from the thir-
teenth to the early nineteenth. The
first was troubadour song, Chan
son Religieuse" by Guirant Riquier,
the last of the great French poet
singers, followed by Julien Tiersot's
arrangement of "L'Amour de Moy,"
Lemaire's "Chanson a manger" and
down to the "Bois Epais" by Lully
and an air from Lies deux avares"

There is a dignity about the BARI

humorous intent, that carries res

Mr.. Thomas can hold the atten-

increased nine times compared to
two years ago"
Secretary Stimson linked his re-
marks with the opening at Fort

Army hospital recreation buildings

"Those of us who come In contact
with the activities OF the Red Cross

Cross as of inestimable value to the
morale of the Navy.

| impact of these anxious days upon
us, and our children. and our chill
dren's children" he declared, that
factor may very well be the Amerl-
can Red Cross. I recommend its sup
port to you not alone as a matter
of patriotism. but as matter OF sell
! interest as well"
Secretary Perkins gave the Red
Cross great credit for keeping down
accidents in the face of increased

ton by the public.
