They said it \\a^ almost inevitable, in view of the attitude an»l troop move ments on both sides. Marshal Chang's offiecrs ad mitted troops were being poured into the defense lines below Shanhaikwan, not far from the Japanese outposts. They said they were acting under orders to Marshal Chang from the national government at Nanking. Japanese forces in Shanhaik wan and vicinity were estimated at not more than 6,000 men. The Chinese feared the Japa nese might seek a pretext to at tack southward, moving toward the Tientsin-Peiping area, as re sult of NanKing's order to Mar shal Chang to resist further en croachments. The positions of the defend ers and the Japanese well-discip lined. modern-equipped field army along the Shi-Ho River be low Shanhaikwa nremained un changed. Hostilities were expected, feel ing on both sides ran high, but calm prevailed as dakness fell. Japanese military leaders in Tientsin threatened to extend their operations as a result of a Chinese troop movement involv ing 3,000 men east of Tientsin. The figure was from Chinese sources. Chinese troops in the Shan haikwan sector were reported becoming surly and an outbreak was feared momentarily during the day. This and the fact Marshal Chang had been ordered by Nanking to prepare for stout re sistance to any southward thrusts by the Japanese com plicated a tense situation.

SOLONS WILL USE DISPATCH Genera! Desire Shown To Hold Session To 60 Day Limit The Tinw-New Jinn-mi Kir W»H.» lintel RALEIGH, Jan. 7.—That mem bers of the 1933 session of the legislature intend to carry out their promises to the people back home and cut governmental ex penses with some degree of gusto ha.i been evident *o many even this early in the session, and the general consensus of the legisla tors is that now the organization work is over, the genera! assem bly will pet down to its work with a dispu'eh born of a desire to hold the session to (50 days, despite the many problems facing it. A majority of members of both houses have expressed the opinion that the session will be concluded in a little over sixty days, but none has been found who will pre dict that it will last nearly so long as the record-breaker of two years ago. "We're here to do a big job. and we want to get it over with {as soon as possible," seems to be the sentiment of most of the so i Ions. ! While no actual reduction of j expanses has been achieved dur I ing the first two days, not a few members of the house and the I senate, in taking the floor, have j served notice of their deadly j earnestness about cutting the op ! erating cost of the state. The {mere fact that on the opening j day both houses went much fur ther than to hold the usual open ing day perfunctory session still has the capital talking. Although the salary-cutting bill died in the senate because it was not ratified in time for it to be come effective at the time the state's new slate of officers were inducted, the fact that the solons even got down to a considei'ation of salary cutting so early in the session has been regarded as a favorable sign that the majority of the legislators intend to wield the old budget-axe pretty thor oughly and not take too long about finishing the job. In the senate, Senator T. L. Kirkpatrick of Charlotte, and Senator W. K. Boggan. of Anson, have both been outspoken about their intentions to carry out their campaign promises and cut wher ever possible. They made the principal speeches in the senate for passage of the salary-cutting bill, although both expressed the opinion that officials' salaries should be cut more than the 15 per cent clash provided for in the 'house measure. While most of the other senators weie qualify ing their vote by saying that they thought the bill was unconstitu tional. Senator Kirkpatrick held no such doubt, and urged passage of the piece of economy legisla tion. "I made my campaign on a re duction of expenses, and I am going to carry out my promise," he said, and Senator Boggan, making his maiden speech, ex pressed a similar sentiment. Sen ator Bogga« holds the belief that salaries of state officials should be cut at least 30 per cent. He informed the senate that his cam paign in Anson county was made on such a program, and that he was elected by the largest majori ty his home county has ever given a member of the legislature. In both the senate and the house the early sessions have been characterized by a seriousness not ordinarily seen in a legislative body. There is little atmosphere of levity, and so far the assembly has shown no inclination for early recesses. This apparent general attitude of the law-makers, and the expressed opinions of many of the members of the assembly, has prepared the legislative observers to look for a reasonably short ! session this year.

A brief eulogy 'and a song service left many a mourner wiping away a tear. Newspapers appeared with their editorial pages lined in black. The late president was considered an intimate friend by many of the men who ordered the reversed borders on their papers. On Capital hill, where Mr. Coolidge also was a beloved fig ure, ceremonies began at noon Friday. The Rev. Zebarney T. Phillips prayed in the senate for peaceful repose of Mr. Coolidge. Rev. James S. Montgomery said a similar prayer ^n the house. A faint 'amen' echoed through the room where some of the nation's greatest verbal battles have raged. The congressional delegation aboard the tran was one of the largest in history. Vice Pres ident Curtis said Mr. Coolidge's friends among the legislators were numerous that there were scores of requests from congressmen. Democrat and lie publican alike, who wished to attend the final rites. Mr. Coolidge's death, follow ing only a few days behind sim ilar sudden deaths of Presidents Roosevelt, Taft, Wilson and Harding, revived the campaign of the medical profession against the "man killing pace" America sets for her presidents. PLYMOUTH. Vt.. Jan. 7. (UP) This little village, where Calvin Coolidge was born, had made final preparations last night to carry its greatest son to his last resting place here today. Within sight of the converted general store and post office where he was born GO years ago last Fourth of July, the former president will be buried in one of the two vacant graves between those of his father and his son in Plymouth Notch cemetery. Five generations of his family lie here already on a knoll front ing the narrow country road that leads from the village. The folk of Plymouth yester j day went about their work as usual. They are grave and un demonstrative like their neighbor and friend, Calvin Coolidge. All day.

RESEARCH BEING HIT BY ECONOMISTS Corn Borer Has Cost Gov ernment $18,000,000 Since The War By RAYMOND CLAPPER Umled Press Staff Correspondent (Copyright, 1933, United Press) WASHINGTON, Jan. 7. (UP) —One of the economy battles in Washington is raging around a little moth which has cost thf federal government $ 18,000,000 si nee the World War. It is known us tho Kuropean corn borer because in its worn" .stage it feeds on corn. Mem bers of congress who have begur to gun for excessive expendi tures on research have just fore c<j. a sharp cut in the monej whicli has been lavished on this pest. Some member.s, who are try ing to plug up the many smal leaks which in the aggregate art throwing the government behini its income probaably several mil lion dollars a day, have startet a campaign against what the} call the "research racket." Then is no disposition to eliminat< necessary .scientific work. Con gress is only trying to cut dowr on research which long agg1 achiev ed its ends. Heavy expenditures once started to help the farmei are now only additional financial burdens. 1 Complaints of congress mer | tliat the corn borer was an over I rated menace were referred by | the United I^'ess for confirma , tion to an authority in the heart I of the corn belt where corn is j burned for fuel and farmers are bankrupt. C. J. Kennedy, assist ant secretary of agriculture in Iowa, the leading corn state, said he saw little advantage in the corn borer expenditure to farm ers in his section because the borer had not even reached Iowa. He believed the federal government should help the state enforce a quarantine it has de clared on all corn imports to prevent introduction of the bor er. Kennedy declared emphati cally he believed no further ex pense on borer research was justified at this time. He said mechanical eradication methods such as special plowing and cut ting of corn stalks were the best, that could be devised. Testimony generally was to the effect that mechanical plowing and low rutting was the best control method. Yet the depart ment of agriculture s o u g h t $ 125,000 this year for gather ing Kuropean parasites and in troducing them into this country so they could eat the corn borer. When one of the department ot agriculture experts was asked point blank whether parasite control had been effective in Europe he replied; "The parasites are not success ful in controlling the corn borer in the United States but it will remove that many more borers that will not have io be handled by clean-up and other methods of control." Government scientists are par tial to foreign studv and a good deal is appropriated for this in the various scientific services of the government. Often it would be cheaper to provide simple travel allowances so scientists might go abroad frequently in stead of taking the more round about and more expensive way of setting up whole new govern ment activities in order to pro vide incidentally for this gather ing of foreign information. I.ast year the department of agriculture spent SI,140,000 on the corn borer, three times the highest official estimate of the damage it had caused in any year. This year it is being cut to less than $250,000. "You have expended more than $20,000,000 in investigat ing and expermineting and clean ing up and eradicating the corn borer and still the borer has been here for years," said Rep. Sumners, Repn., Washi n g t o 11, "the department of agriculture tells us it cannot be exterminat ed, that its spread cannot be pre vented and that it has not done any great damage." Educational Changs The fact that JW different types of college entrance requirement used singly* or in combination are now ' 11 vogue is a finder post point ing towaid the fact that the col leges and tint versifies are gradually changing their methods of a«1iijir ting students in the light of nt>»v educational research evidence. Sanguinary Battle In proportion to tin* number of combatants engaged and the actual time of lighting, it is s-ild that more men were killed at the battle of Nnniasigue, in Honduras, than in any «»ttier battle in recorded hi* tory. Three thousand or more were slain in a few minutes in 1907.
