Stalin Speech Revealing Soviet War Preparations Strains Japanese Relations
TOKIO, Japan, Jan. 11—(UP)—Soviet Russia’s preparations for war, frankly admitted by Josef Stalin, head of the Moscow government, have definitely removed the last possibility that Japan might sign a pact of non-aggression with Russia, it was made clear today.

diplomatic relations due to these developments. On the contrary, it was intimated that the government would proceed as though nothing had happened, at least until another move occurs, and will agree to the naming of Constantine Yurenev as soviet ambassador to Japan, in February.
The Stalin speech which caused mounting concern in Tokio was delivered last Saturday to the plenary session of the central executive committee of the Communist party, the highest group in soviet Russia.
Blames Far Eastern Crisis
Stalin told the committee the far eastern crisis and failure of “certain neighbors” to sign non-aggression pacta had forced the soviet union to devote an unexpected part of the five year plan to the production of “modern instruments of defense.”
Meanwhile, Moscow also resumed diplomatic relations with China, severed during the nationalist revolution in 1927-28.
The opinion prevailed in Tokio that Japan would agree to the non-aggression pact with Moscow if the soviets would recognize the new Manchurian state of Man-choukuo, sponsored by the Japanese. It had been indicated during these parleys that Moscow was ready to agree to this solution of the problem.

Military Experts Expect Mary Elizabeth Hendricks * Fort to Fall Before Dorothy Davis, Named Nippon Army	As Assistants
PEIPING, China, Jan. 11.—(UE)
| —A Japanese attach on an extensive front along the great wall of China concentrating at Chiomenkuo was expected tonight as both Chinese and Japanese armies continued to dig into their positions.
The Chinese claimed they still controlled Chiomenkuo, despite Japanese assertions they had captured this strategic point in the historic old wall.
Japanese Claim Pass
The Japanese declared they controlled the pass to the village at that gate in the wall. They drew up 10,000 men along the outer side of the wall, and made ready for a powerful advance on all fronts of the far-flung Jehol sector.
The Chinese hurriedly ordered thousands of men into the Chiomenkuo area from garrisons in Jehol province. The troops worked throughout the day throwing up defenses on their side of the great wall.
It was considered doubtful by military strategists that China’s historic old barrier could hold out the invading armies of Japan, equipped with modern instruments of war.
Airplanes, Artillery
Japanese troops included airplane squadrons, heavy artillery, cavalry units and infantry. They were drawn up in full regalia, bayonets glistening on rifles. Few expected the Chinese could withstand their concerted attack, despite greater numbers.
The Japanese strategy appeared to be to close the Chiomenkuo pass (the ninth gate in the great wall), continuing meanwhile a general encircling movement around the borders of Jehol province, the immediate goal in the present “war.”
The front extended from Chiomenkuo to Shihmenchai, northwestward along the wall. Chinese feared the Japanese intended to penetrate beyond the wall, despite assurances that their objective was to close the pass and force surrender of Jehol province.
Alaskan’s Life Saved by New Zealander
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 11-How radio amateurs relayed a “hunch” from Teller, Alaska to New Zealand, on to San Francisco and back to a second operator at Teller to save the life of Cylde Devinna, moUon picture cameraman, was told here tonight.
Col. Claire Foster, Carmel, one of the operators, said that two nights ago Devinna, “on location” at Teller, was chatting with a New Zealander when his signals abruptly stopped.
The New Zealand operator broadcast his fear that something was wrong and Foster relayed it to another operater at Teller.
The radio fan at Teller walked over to Devinna’s cabin, found him unconscious from carbon monoxide gas generated by a gasoline heater.
NEW YORK, Jan. 11.—O) — Agressor nations that look to the United States for their source of war material will find the next administration determined to effect an embargo, President-elect Roosevelt indicated tonight Roosevelt, It was stated by close advisers, feels exactiy as does President Hoover who addressed a special message to congress requesting authority to declare such an embargo on warring countries.

Continuance of tryouts for the cast of "Every Man In His Humour” and appointment of two assistant directors were announced last night by Prof. Laurabelle Dietrick, chairman of the joint English department-Drama Shop committee that is supervising production of the Elizabethan classic.
An Inducement to try out for the play was offered at the preliminary readings yesterday by Norman Wright, president of Drama Shop, who pointed out that most of the experienced actors on the campus are occupied with the N. C. P. play.
“This circumstance leaves the field practically open to good campus dramatic talent that has hitherto had a limited chance to get good roles,” Wright said.
Mary Elizabeth Hendricks and Dorothy Davis were named as assistant directors by the joint committee, with Mrs. Dietrick tentatively acting as advisory director.
Both of the appointees were seen recently in the campus production of “Minick,” the junior class play.
Readings for the numerous men’s parts and three women’s parts in the five-act drama were begun yesterday, with a large number of applicants on hand. Final selection of the cast will be postponed until thorough tryouts have been given. Miss Hendricks announced. Further trials will be held at 3:15 today in Touchstone theater.
The play was selected Tuesday as a representative and entertaining old English work, and is plan-nd to be the flrst in a series of annual presentations of classical dramas by the English department of the university, with Drama Shop in charge of production and the fine arts department handling costumes and settings.
Besides sponsoring the production, the English faculty will undertake all research necessary to the staging of “Every Man In His Humour” in the historic manner. The results of their research, which will be conducted by Prof. Florence Scott’s direction, will be adapted to the work of production by the assistant directors, both of whom are Drama Shop members.
Miss Hendricks and Miss Davis emphasized yesterday that any student, with or without dramatic experience, is eligible to try out for a role in the play. Roles for male characters are plentiful, in particular, since women were not called for in great numbers in most of th 17th-century dramatic presentations.

Thirteen Men To Insult ‘Lady Luck’ Tomorrow
CHICAGO, Jan. 11.—(HE)—Thirteen men raised 13 umbrellas today in defiiance of superstition and walked into Sidney Strotz’ office to make plans for challenging fate on Friday, the 13th of Jan.
The men are members of Chicago’s Anti-Superstition society. They believe the depression is a bugaboo and that by disproving such traditions as “three on a match” and “meeting cross-eyed women” they can disprove the depression, maybe even end it
Strotz, their leader, outlined the things he will do on Friday 13th, and other members agreed to do likewise.
He will start by sliding into his bath head first Then he’ll pick up a shoe and smash a mirror with lt.
He’ll put his left shoe on first. Then spill salt all over the breakfast table. Leaving home, he’ll
walk under a ladder and light a cigarette off the same match used by the milkman and the janitor. En route to his office an employe will arrange to have a black cat cross his path. During the day he’ll nail a horseshoe to the wall, but put it upside down so the luck will run out
That night he and the other 12 members will sit 13 at a banquet table, then go to gate 13 at the stadium. Usher number 13 will lead them down aisle 13 to row 13 where they will sit together and watch the Tommy Paul-Fred-die Miller prize fight. Miller is left-handed and, said Strotz, it’s supposed to be unlucky even to look at an “off-sided” fellow on Friday the 13 th.
Each member of the club agreed to undertake some business venture of Importance on that date.

Bergson Thought Is Subject of Flewelling Talk
Alpha Rho Chi Gives Lunch for Faculty
Alpha Rho Chi, professional architecture fraternity, held its annual faculty luncheon yesterday at the chapter house.
Guests at the affair included Dean Arthur C. Weatherhead, Prof. Mildred M. Bateson, Prof. Amy McClelland. Prof. Paul S. Sample, Prof. Robert M. Fox, Prof. A. E. Stevens, and Mrs. Eleanor Wheat-ly, librarian.
"The very heart and soul of
Bergsonian philosophy resides ln the doctrine of duration,” Dr. Ralph T. Flewelling stated yesterday afternoon ln his lecture on “Intuition and Knowledge in Berg, son” which he delivered to the weekly Philosophy forum gathered in the Browne room of Mudd Memorial halL.
“Life is conceived by Bergson not as a congeries of separable states or a succession of events, but a continuously moving zone of activity which carries its past along with it”
Dr. Flewelling commented upon the fact that Bergson has changed and added to his philosophy in the last few years. “He has become a little more personal,” the lecturer explained.
Several years ago Dr. Fleweiiing wrote “Bergson and Personal Realism,” a book making criticisms of the French philosopher which the author is now ready to correct in the light of Bergson’s more recent attitude.
Krueger Alive, Is Hint
T old U.S. Senate
WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.—(TIE) —Collapse of the financial empire that Ivar Kreuger built on matches was described today and the charge brought that thousands of American investors were swindled.

By United Press
A devastating win<fstonB, at times approaching cyclonic proportions, swept Southern California yesterday leaving death and destruction in its wake.
High seas running in Los Angeles harbor claimed the life of a navy enlisted man, and 11 other seamen were missing for several hours.
Naval Man Drowned
Lt. Comdr. Carl Hupp, 43. of the Cruiser Raleigh was about to board an officer’s gig when a giant comber enveloped him as it smashed against the side of the vessel.
While his shore crew looked on helplessly, the commander was hurled into the stormy water and carried away. Another heavy wave dragged him under, and soon his body was lost from sight
Eleven navy enlisted men, missing at the time in the outer hai* bor, were picked up by crews sent to find the officer’s body. The lost men had been dispatched earlier in the day in quest of small navy boats which had broke from their moorings in the storm.
Gale Claims Watchman
The gale, at times approaching cyclonic proportions, was believed also to have claimed the life of Theodore Krog. 71, watchman a«■ board a houseboat which ran a-shore and pounded to pieces on rocks.
Damage to pleasure craft and small boats ln the harbor was estimated at 1100,000, while other sections of the southland reported a mounting toll of property damage and ruined citrus crops.
Five brush flres were controlled after burning over nearly 1,000 acres of land along the Ventura county line. Another flre broke out near San Luis Obispo and farmers organized to battle it ln the absence of state rangers, who were released from duty last month.
Destroys Orange Crop
In Ontario and Riverside, east of here, streets were filled with debris by the overpowering gale. More than 5 per cent of the citrus belt’s $36,000,000 orange crop was blowTi from the trees.
In the Huntington beach oil field, 75 derricks were demolished by the wind, which reached 80 miles an hour at times. Seventy-four other derricks were seriously damaged, with an estimated loss of $150,000.
In Orange county alone, damage to communications systems, oil fields and citrus crops reached more than $1,000,000.
High Pressure Area
Starting from an extreme high-pressure area over Nevada, the wind poured over the mountains and spread as far south as the Mexican border. Gales apparently reached greatest height in Ontario, where they were registered at 80 miles an hour.
Houses were unroofed, trees uprooted, signs and small buildings demolished and the entire area enveloped In thick dust clouds. In Weather authorities estimated 1.* 000,000 tons of dust wa3 deposited in Los Angeles county alone.
Gales of 60 miles an hour wers reported at San Pedro, or Los AV geles harbor, and in the Pomona ■ and San Fernando valleys.
