INCENDIARY FIRE
 TOOK THREEuIV
Continued from Page D

The bodies of Thomas J. Hodges, "A, and his wife, 72, were found in their apartment in the Vine street building when the fire had been controlled. Searcters found the body of Mrs. Sarah Connors, GA, in the Cedar-Street building.
 Injured in a three-story fall was John Curtin, about 70, owner of the Cedar street building. He was reported in critical condition at hospital.
 Mrs. Raymond Lewis, 43, jumped from the third floor of the Vine street building, but fell into first floor awning which broke her fall. She was hospitalized, but released after examination showed she was unhurt. Several firemen suffered minor injuries.
 Aid was summoned from Law renee, Groveland, Georgetown, Amesbury, West Newbury and Mer- rimac, principally to obtain more ladder equipment to rescue occu- pants. Bremen shouted encour- agement to the trapped persons and pleaded with them to jump but await removal over ladders.
 Screams of women and children and shouts of men mingled with the clamor of arriving fire engines.

 Away From Highway
 The crash occurred several miles from paved highways and it was 6:30 a. III. before ambulances and doctors could reach the injured over muddy roads.
 Happen was pinned under the fuselage and 1t took rescuers 30 min- utes to get him free. He was serious ly injured.
 H. A. Littledale, New York Times reporter, was also seriously injured but was conscious. T don't know what happened" he said, 'it just came suddenly. I'm afraid my back is broken"
 Iittledale was found lying in Q pine grove near the scene of the wreck, awaiting medical attention. He was in pain and attendants at tempted to keep reporters from talking to him.
 I'm one myself" he said. Let them through"
 He told his story in short gasps and kept asking for his wife who had been taken to a hospital, in- jured.
 The area of the wreck is tra- versed by slippery clay roads, al- most impossible after the nights rain. Several traffic accidents were reported and one reporter was ir1- jured.
 Miracle Any Lived
 Those persons first reaching the wreckage were amazed to find any of the passengers had escaped alive.
 Hansell was walking near the wreckage, partially dazed. He kept repeating that someone had stolen his wallet.
 The Ravine intervening between the wreckage and the nearest paved road seriously delayed rescue work. Rosenfeld said he would have been able to get aid hours earlier had he not fallen into the ravine.
 Rescue workers said Happen was most seriously injured of the first brought out.
 His eyes were sunken way back into his head" an eyewitness said. "He was moaning"
 There was no immediate ir1dica- tion of the cause of the crash.
 The plane was called the Mexico Silver Sleeper. It was Douglas DST type, two motored and with capac- ity of IA passengers.
 Help Them Out.
 Rosenfeld said he helped HanSell, Sewell, Brady, Feinberg and Mrs. Littledale from the wreckage. Han- sell and Rosenfeld were the less se- riously injured. He said they pulled mattresses and blankets from the plane and covered the other three from the chilling rain.
 Rosenfeld fell into steep ravine through which shallow stream flowed and was unable to get up It's slippery, muddy banks until 5:30 a. m. He stumbled to house a quar- ter of a mile from the crash and was taken to a rural store, where there was a telephone, mile and a half from the wreck. He called the sheriff's office in Jonesboro.

Japan Much Concerned Over Present Events
(continued from Page D

f. Despite the failure of successive governments to maintain our naval strength, making 1t so that the sailor has to fight under a great handicap, am confident you will find that the sailor will win through to victory"
 Shanghai, Feb. 26. - (UP) - Japan's Domei news agency report ed today that the Tokyo govern ment had instructed Baron Yasu HayaShi, consul general at Hanoi, to order the immediate evacuation of Japanese residents from French In- dol China in view of a threatened breakdown of Thailand- French h. do-China peace negotiations.
 United Press Tokyo dispatches said the government had ordered that Japanese citizens be prepared for evacuation on short notice)
 The Domei Agency said that it learned on good authority that the government had acted as a precau- tion "in order to enable it to adopt full freedom of action" in event of failure of the negotiations in which Japan, as mediator, has staked its prestige.
 Japan, it was indicated. had de- termined to force Indo- China to &C., cept peace terms which would de- prive it of great slices of its terri tory.
 Local Chimes newspaper sources asserted that the British Hong Yong Shanghai Banking Corporation had frozen credits of leading Japanese firms in Indo-C China.
 It was believed in diplomatic quarters here that crisis had been precipitated
 There was every indication that the Vichy government, as well as French Indo-C Chinese representa- lives at the Tokyo peace conference, would reject the drastic terms which Japan sought to dictate. in volving sweeping territorial conces sions to Thailand.
 Japan had charged that the United States was conspiring with the Indo-Chinese government to thwart Japan's "mediatory" efforts by refusing to make concessions.
 Great Britain had strongly rein forced its Singapore base. French Indo-Chinese military authorities had greatly strengthened theil forces on the Thailand frontier.
 The United States had moved to strengthen its Far Eastern defenses.
 Then. only yesterday, Chinese government spokesman at Chunkine the Chinese temporary capital, ha6 intimated that China was studyine possible British-C Chinese joint de- fense of the Yunnan-B Burma -Malaya area. in which could easily be in cluded Indo-Chira.
 (Weil informed sources at Londor said that they knew nothing of this but that they did not discount the possibility that such an agreemen might develop)
 Tokyo dispatches indicated that Japan's anxiety over its general Sltu- alton was such that it was prepared to take a strong and perhaps dpn- gerouely strong stand on the Indo. chinn pence negotiations. it hnd been thwnrted in its economic" nc gotlatIons with the Netherlands Eas' Indies and French indo-Chlna hnG given ground stubbornly Co Japn. IieAe demands for military and econ. omIc concessions as well as in the peace negotiations,
The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-02-27

Japanese saw the reported move as a threat of combined British 1 French Indo-C Chinese action in event of Far Eastern explosion
 The lower house of parliament suddenly adjourned this afternoon until March l8 in order to give the government clear path for emer- gency action. Members were ordered to remain in Tokyo for a possible emergency session.
 Just before the adjournment the House of Peers pSaSeo the drastic official secrets act, previously passed by the lower house, imposing the death penalty for the most serious leakages of official information.
 Newspapers reported that Prince Fumimaro Konoye, the Premier, might strengthen the cabinet in view of the crisis.
 ULuang Vichtr Vadhaker, Minister without portfolio in the Thailand cabinet, arrived today by special air. plane with fresh instructions for the Thailand peace delegation.
 Newspapers in apparently inspired editorials indicated that the dead line for Indo- Chinese acceptance of the terms might be set for this week -end.
 Japan Is Determined
 In any event it was apparent that Japan had determined to force peace on Indo- China by the expira- ton of the present truce with Thai n% YrSIA HI1fYA firAn March 2.
 There were hints that Japan was prepared to use force if its diploma cys-which 1t complained was being impeded by the machinations of some unnamed third power"-fail- ed to induce acceptance of its terms.
 The sudden warning to Japanese citizens to be ready for urgent evac- uation from Indo- China was taken to mean that there might be rup- ture in the peace negotiations here at any time.
 Both the French and 1ndo-C Chi neSe governments had said repeat edly that they would. fight rather than accept terms as onerous as those which Japan, as mediator" ," sought to impose.
 Inspired newspaper editorials in- dicated that Charles Arsene- Henry, French Ambassador, had firmly de- clined to approve the forced peace terms. They charged the French government with conspiring with third powers to obstruct Japan's policies.
 They denied that Japan in pre- senting France with its terms, had violated an agreement to respect In- do-Chinas sovereignty.
 Japan Is Foolish
 London, Feb. 27-(UP)-Admiral of the fleet Lord Chatfield said to- day he hoped Japan would not be so foolish as to ake Britain fight in the Far East.
 But we need not fear Q fight in the Far East although we could i'll afford any further strain on our meager naval resources" he said. Our fighting qualities would once again come 10 our aid."
 Tn . luncheon speech chatfield said.
 We must expect n great attack on olir trade routes during the next few months. You must expect to see losses Of merchant shipping going up. They may at one time Seem alarming but you must keep your confidence in the navy.
 ~ghe enemy has great advantages
