ALLEN WASHINGTON Among the political gentry, President Presi-dent Roosevelt is being credited cred-ited with a master-stroke of strategy in handling the NRA dilemma. Here is the way they appraise the situation situa-tion : To begin with, the supreme court did Roosevelt a great service serv-ice by saving him from an almos certain rupture with the senate over the Clark resolution. This extended the NRA for only ten months, while the president demanded de-manded twenty-four. He had won house Democratic leaders to his viewpoint and a knock-down-and-drag-out battle with the defiant senate seemed inevitable. Whereupon the supreme court considerately eliminated this danger. The court's decision also paved the way for a major re-election campaign issue. This opportunity Roosevelt is exploiting to the utmost ut-most in his plan to continue the NRA in skeleton form. Had he abandoned the Blue Eagle entirely, as some of his advisers ad-visers counseled, it could and would have been construed as an acknowledgement of error and defeat. de-feat. On the other hand, had he followed fol-lowed the course urged by other members of the official family and attempted to circumvent the court with a new NRA, he would have found himself with a Pandora's Pan-dora's box of tribulations. First, there was the extremely difficult problem of re-creating an NRA with punch. Second, there is much doubt whether such an NRA could have been put through the senate. Certainly such an at- i tempt would have precipitated a tierce battle. Finally, had this plan been put through congress there was the great danger that it might have proven ineffectual, thus supplying Republican sharpshooters with damaging ammunition. By bowing to the court's decision, de-cision, but at the same time retaining re-taining the form of the NRA. the president has put himself in a strategic position to take advantage advant-age of whatver the next twelve months may develop. If there is a full-tide business upturn, Roosevelt, regardless of what the opposition may say, will le given the credit. Should things go badly, however, how-ever, the president can throw the the blame in the supreme court. He can point to the fact that he did the best he could by dutifully restricting the NRA to the rigid limits fixed by the court and that, as a result, the New Deal was prevented from making good its promises. With this argument he can then go to the country on the re-election issue of a constitutional (Continued on Page Four) TROOPS SENT TO YANGTSUN (Copyright 1935 by United Press) TOKYO. June 10 (u.R Japanese troops have been sent to Yangt-sun, Yangt-sun, 30 miles from Tientsin, where retiring Chinese soldiers burned telegraph poles and aroused fear of looting, a Nippon demp news agency dispatch said today. The Japanese forces comprised a con any of infantry, a detachment detach-ment of engineers, and armored cars. They were ordered, the dispatch said, to repair the damaged communications com-munications and prevent a repetition re-petition of the incident. A second incident equally fraught with possibility of trouble was reported by the agency's Peip-ing Peip-ing bureau. It was that Chinese Gen. Sung Che-Yuan detained four special service men of the Japanese Kwantung army for 20 hours northward of Kalgan. It was indicated that the Japanese Jap-anese high command expected a final, complete capitulation to all demands of the Chinese central government by either midnight tonight to-night or midnight tomorrow, and full compliance with the demands by June 20 POST TO TAKE OFF LOS ANGELES, June 10 U.F Wiley Post, one-eyed Oklahoma aviator, cast hopeful glances at the sky early today as he prepared to take off at dawn on a fifth attempt at-tempt to span the continent in eight Hours.

Air Crashes In California Claim 4 Lives Department of Commerce Investigators In-vestigators Look Into Pair of Accidents LOS ANGELES, June 10 (L'.lii Department of commerce officials offic-ials today were investigating two southern California air pi a n e crashes which claimed the lives of four men. Charles Richard Barcafair, 30-year-old film projectionist at Fox studios, and Robert Smith, Jr., 15, were killed when their plane, piloted by Barcafair, crashed in western Los Angeles last night. Art Callies, 43, veteran pilot and flying instructor, and Stanley Lott, student flier, were hurled to death when their plane collapsed col-lapsed over Goleta airport near Santa Barbara. Wing Collapse The ship in which Barcafair and Smith were killed was flying at about 2000 feet when a wing collapsed nd the plane plunged into in-to a vacant lot, burying its nose three feet in the ground. Barcafair, a experienced pilot, had left his nine-year-old son, Charles R. Barcafair Jr., at Dyeer airport while he took the boy's friend, Robert, son of Robert Smith, radio entertainer, aloft on a shot flight. Both bodies were mangled.

PWA Attracts Private Cash WASHINGTON, June 10 U.R The government moved today to attract private capital to its $4,-000,000,000 $4,-000,000,000 reemployment drive by re-establishing at 4 per cent the interest rates on its $900,000,000 public works fund. PWA recently reduced the rate on its loans to 3 per cent. This was done when President Roosevelt Roose-velt issued an executive order increasing in-creasing from 35 to 45 per cent the amount of a project's cost which the government would finance fin-ance by an outright gift. The interest rate was increased by 1 per cent. Administrator Harold Har-old L. Ickes said, mainly "to permit per-mit communities to supplement the federal grants through utilization utiliza-tion of their own funds or credit resources, opening sources of private pri-vate capital without recourse to federal loans." If a municipality should borrow bor-row money from sources other than the government to finance a project, PWA still is empowered to make the cities an outright grant of p to 45 per cent of the development's cost.

The meeting is a national political poli-tical convention drawn to the scale of 10 farm states whose delegates dele-gates have been arriving by bus. train and automobile for 48 hours. Delegates have brought scores of resolutions for consideration but most of them will be lost in the resolution committee sh u ffle.

Awaiting the abductors was trial under Washington's stringent law providing pro-viding the death penalty for kidnaping. The agents held Herman M. Waley, 24, and his wife, Margaret. Both made detailed confessions. In various parts of the country agents were hot on the trails of four other members of the ring. Tight lipped silence followed announcement here and in Washington that the abduction of the heir of a Tacoma, Wash., lumber fortune had been solved by the confessions of the Waley's, but the movements and optimism of agents made it obvious that additional arrests were expected momentarily. Sought In Montana William Mahan, 35, an ex-convict, was sought in Butte, Mont., where he was forced to abandon a stolen car that contained $15,000 of the $200,000 J. P.

Hodge, senior superior sup-erior court jurist in Pierce county probabiy will be the trial judgf. He said today that the alleged kidnapers undoubtedly will be ttirned over to state courts because be-cause the Washington law is more stringent that the federal Lindbergh Lind-bergh law. State law permits the jury to impose the death penalty whether or not the kidnapers have harmed their victim. Under the Lindbergh law, harm must be proved to obtain a sentence rof death. Federal authorities could try the Waleys if they wish, because the Lindbergh law was violated when the abductors held George more than seven days. Neither federal nor local officers offic-ers would admit they knew tonight when the Waleys would be brought here to be confronted by the nine-year-old boy for positive identification. identi-fication. The Weyerhaeuser f a m ily, wealthy timber owners, would not permit George to comment on the Salt Lake City arrests. "We are delighted," said J. P.
