Declaring Germany must make a contribution toward easing the sit uation, the foreign secretary em phasized its critical nature, saying: “I do not view the future with a light heart. I believe we are be ginning a period which must at best be one of the most critical in international negotiations,” he said. The recent proposals, coming ‘‘at a moment of crisis,” he said, al loyed the “immediate prospects of steps being taken which might have led to war.” TOBACGOSITIIATION IS MUCHMUDDLED Virginia’s Refusal to Join Sign-up Blamed for Pres ent Predicament Dally Dispatch Bureau, 111 The Sir Walter Hotel, By J ( r, B4SKEIIVILL Raleigh, March 26. The tobacco situation both in North Carolina, tne other tobacco producing states and in Congress, seemed to be as muddled as ever today, if not more so. Another meeting of the tobacco advisory com-, mittee or steering committee named', by a meeting of growers last week when it was decided to launch a vol untary tobacco acreage reduction sign-up campaign Thursday of this week, met with Governor J.

Major Takeo Imai, Japanese mili tary attache in Peiping, announced “the Japanese army will take the most effective steps necessar/ to deal with the situation, if the communists menace the peace of Hopei and Cha har provinces.” Major Imai declined to elaborate on his statement, but declared: “It is most difficult to understand how the communists continue to ad vance against the combined Shansi province and Chinese Nationalist gov ernment armies.” Action Threatened The communist invasion of Shansi province in North Central China pro per had brought troops of Generalis simo Chiang Kai-Shek, virtual dicta tor of the central government, into the area of the Shansi Militarist Yen Si-Shan. Further apanese concern over the situation was reflected by an earlier statement of a Japanese embassy spokesman at Nanking that “we have not yet moved in the Shansi situa tion, but we would take the most grave view of any Chinese military activity calculated to disturb the bal ance of power and peace in North China.” McDonald's Rivals Will Start Soon Dally Dispatch Bureau, In The Sir Walter Hole.. By J. C BASKEII Vllit, Raleigh, March 26.—Indications are that before many days now the cam paign managers of Clyde R. Hoey, of Shelby, and of Lieutenant Governor A. H. Graham, of Hillsboro, are go ing to change their political tactics and start “opening up” against Dr. Ralph W. McDonald, of Winston- Salem, who is admittedly causing them more worry than anything else right now. There are even indications that Candidates Hoey and Graham may personally start replying to some of the McDonald statements and speeches and that some very hot cam paigning is about to get under way. It is generally conceded that both of these candidates and their campaign managers have decided to abandon the policy followed so far of practical ly ignoring McDonald and his candi dacy and have virtually decided that a new line of attack must be develop ed.

J., March 26 (AP) — Governor Harold G. Hoffman spent almost five hours in Bruno Rich ard Hauptmann’s Bronx home to day checking evidence connecting the convicted LindbejTgh kidnap killer with the kidnap ladder. “The examination was not con clusive,” the governor said. “We have been looking at the wood, and no conclusion can be drawn until we make further tests” he declared as he left the house. This news came while Haupt mann’s second appeal for mercy was still pending before the court I of pardons and the date set for his execution only five days away. Hoffman Is Seeking To Save Bruno Governor Not Like ly To Give Further Reprieve; Hope Lies in Courts Trenton, N. J., March 26.—(AP)— With little prospect of executive in tervention, Bruno Richard Haupt mann’s chances of escaping execution next Tuesday night rested today with the court of pardons and the judge who sentenced him to death. Governor Harold G. Hoffman, a member of the court, planned to con sult Chancellor Luther A. Campbell on the advisability of a hearing on the convicted slayer’s new plea for cle mency.

Failure in the court of pardons to convince Supreme Court Justice Thomas W. Trenchard, trial, judge, they have enough new evidence to ask for a new trial means Hauptmann will probably die.

Woman Weeps as Witness Tells of Doctor’s Slaying New York, March 26.—(AP) —Vera Stretz sobbed and buried her face in her hands today when a detective testifying for the State quoted her as saying, “there was no assault” on the night, she fatally shot Dr. Fritz Geb hardt, wealthy German importer. The attractive blande secretary lost her composure as she heard for the fourth time the story of how she was found by officers in a corridor of the fashionable apartment hotel, where her lover-employer was killed. “No Assault.” “Was anything said about assault?” asked Judge Cornelius Collins, of De tective John Keiser, in charge of the investigation. “Yes, she said there was an assault,” Keiser replied. This was contrary y> the contention of Miss Stretz’s coun sel that the slaying was in self-de fense after she had been attacked. “Have you read in the papers that the defense in this case is self-de fense?” Asked Samuel Leibowltz, Miss Stretz’s counsel, in cross-examination. The question was objected to and Keiser was not permitted to answer.

The combined efforts of Samuel Leibowitz, noted New York crim inal attorney, Governor Harold Hoffman of New Jersey, the prisoners wife, Mrs. Anna Hauptmann and his spiritual adviser, the Rev. John Mathiesen, are said to have broken Hauptmann’s iron nerve. Britain Will Back Locarno Pact, Eden Tells Parliamen t London, March 26 (AP) —Anthony Eden, foreign secretary, told the House of Commons today that the British government would back up the Locarno pact.

McDonald, one of the four candidates for the Democratic nomination for governor, and unwit tingly improved the chances of the other candidates, especially of Clyde R. Hoey, of Shelby, and of Lieutenant Governor A. H. Graham, of Hillsboro, when they nominated Gilliam Grissom as the Republican candidate for gov ernor here this week, according to comment heard from both Democrats and Republiacns. Many believe Grissom is going to keep a large number of Republicans from voting for McDonald in the Democratic primary—though some will undoubtedly do so anyway. They also believe that if McDonald should be nominated, as many Republicans now are confident he will be, that in the general election enough anti-lM'c- Donald Democrats would join with the Republicans and elect Grissom governor rather than McDonald.

The new pact failed to renew Artic les XIX of the Washington naval limi tations treaty, by which the three pow ers agreed that no new fortifications or naval bases should be established in designated Far Eastern territories and possessions. Japan Seeks Information The British naval spokesman said the diplomatic negotiations over this question were undertaken in answer to a Japanese request for informa tion as to the future intentions of the other great sea powers toward the Far East. Japan did not sign the new treaty, having quit the naval conference aft er its demands for full fleet equality were opposed by the United States and Great Britain.

Dr. Townsend Described As Brilliant Man Washington, March 26.—(AP) —Dr. F. E.
