JAPS DRAFT 5-YEAR
PLAN TO BUILD ARMY
Tokio, July 26.—The war office pro-
posed a broad five-year plan today
fop modernization, improvement and
expansion of Japanese land and air
armaments.
The program, requiring expendi-
tures of 900,000,000 yen (about $261,-
000,000) was drafted by the general
staff of the war office for submission
to the cabinet and inclusion in the
budget. The money is in addition to
regular military appropriations.
War office authorities, disclosing
the project, pointed out that it was
“essential” to modernize equipment
and increase the air force, which they
contended was inferior to those of
other major powers.
It was the first time since the Man-
chukuan campaign that the. army had
disclosed its program for long-time
expenditures.
The army project coincided with
plans of the communications minis-
try to request an appropriation of at
least 13,000,000 yen (about $3,770,-
000) for development of civilian avia-
tion.
The communications ministry pro-
gram provided for expansion of do-
mestic air lines, establishment of air
service to Singapore, subsidies for
local air lines, and creation of an
aviation laboratory.
The army program fell into three
parts.
An appropriation of 500,000,000
yen was designed chiefly for improve-
ment and‘increase in military avia-
tion, in addition to the 200,000,000
yen already authorized.
An appropriation of 200,000,000 yen
was considered for Japan pi-oper and
Korea, for improvement of infantry,
anti-tank and anti-air equipment, an
increase in automatic firearms, mod-
ernization of field guns, improvements
in heavy artillery and an increase in
motor transports.
New chemical equipment and im-
proved connections between troops
in the Japanese-sponsored state of
Manchukuo also were projected.
The third appropriation of 200,-
000,000 yen, was proposed for im-
provements in Manchukuo similar to
those in Japan proper.
The five-year plan appropriations
would be added to the regular mili-
tary expenditures, for which a total
of 600,000,000 yen has been requested
annually hereafter, as compared to
the present expenditures of 493,000,-
000 yen a year.
HEALTH HINTS
(From State Health Department)
Now is the time, according to Dr.
John W. Brown, State health offi-
cer, that every parent should ask
himself if (his child is .physidally
ready for school. A visit to the fam-
ily physician and dentist will answer
this question and give time for the
correction of minor defects before
time for school to open.
A child with defective vision can-
not be expected to do the required
work in school until this handicap is
removed. Inflamed, watery eyes,
granulated lids, chronic styes, ner-
vtous actions as habitual winking,
may be caused by defective vision
and should be attended to immedi-
ately.
The far reaching effect of infected
tonsils on the system has been rec-
ognized by health workers for many
years. Many of the ills of later life,
as heart disease, arthritis, deafness,
etc., are directly traceable to tonsils
that became infected during child-
hood and were allowed to remain
untreated.
Dental defects are found in more
children than any other imperfection,
and for this reason children should
be taken regularly to the dentist for
examination and cleaning of the
teeth. This precaution keeps the
mouth clean and makes it possible
to discover dental defects as soon as
they appear.
Postural defects appear in the life
of a child much sooner than we for-
merly suspected. Have your family
physician see if your child’s shoulder
blades project and if his arches are
low. Simple exercises, diligently ad-
hered to, when the child is young,
will prevent later serious develop-
ments in many cases.
Mrs. Clarence Oliver of Oklahoma
City arrived Saturday from San An-
tonio to spend a few days in the
home of Mr. and Mrs. Leon Oliver.
She will be accompanied home by
her daughter, Betty Louise, who has
been here for several days.
Mrs. F. M. Ramsey has as guests
in her home her sister, Mrs. G. W.
DeHay and daughter, Mrs. Caldwell,
and granddaughter, Miss Vina Cald-
well, all of Austin.

U. S. TO RID FEDERAL
PRISON OF ALIEN FELONS
Washington, July 26.—With econ-
omy given as a motive, the govern-
ment today decided to rid its federal
prisons of all alien convicts.
By order of President Roosevelt,
Lhe first group of 151, including one
woman, will be put on ships and
sent back to homelands in Europe,
the Orient and South America. Oth-
ers will make the outward bound
journey as rapidly as they become
eligible for deportation.
For some the deportation is a bar-
gain. The terms they are serving
range down from life sentences to a
year and a day. Their crimes run
the scale from murder to auto theft,
with narcotic peddling composing the
largest portion.
Also to be deported, although she
is not of the same group, is “the
woman in red” of the Dillinger case.
The asserted operator of a Chicago
disorderly house, she has been given
one month to settle affairs in this
country befoi’e being shipped back to
her Rumanian homeland.
She is Anna Sage, who some have
said gave the word that led John
Dillinger out of a Chicago movie
house and into the fatal spatter of
pistol fire from justice department
gents.
Only Canadian and Mexican pris-
oners escaped the deportation order.
The justice department said it had
found deportation of these convicts
was useless—they slipped back into
the United States.
Bessie Murray, who has been serv-
ing a sentence for postal law viola-
tions, is the only woman prisoner
affected. She will be sent back to
Ireland.
Narcotic peddlers compose 64 of
the 151. Counterfeiters number 50
and the other 37 are offenders of
miscellaneous laws of the govern-
ment.
A large saving in prison costs was
given as the reason for the govern-
ment’s action. The deportation or-
der followed a study made by At-
torney General Cummings of the rec-
ords, sentences and offenses of all
alien convicts in the United States
prisons.
The sentence of each alien will end
when he is delivered by prison of-
ficials to the immigration officers for
deportation.
The president’s action is based on
laws passed in 1929. Under the law,
any alien who violated the narcotics
law was made subject to deporta-
tion. Any alien who commits a felony
during the first five years after his
entry into the United States may
also be deported, and any alien who
commits two felonies may be deport-
ed regardless of how long he has re-
sided here.
PENCILED NOTE IS CLUE TO 4
Globe, Ariz., July 26.—Gila County
officers today sought an explanation
of a crudely penciled note turned over
to the sheriff’s department as a pos-
sible clue in the disappearance sev-
eral weeks ago of two Illinois couples
who were on a vacation tour of New
Mexico and Arizona.
“The Lorius family may be found
by the Coolidge Dam. May be deed
and may be a life,” the note read.
It was signed by “Mrs. Thompson,
3716 Monorva.” The spelling is that
of the note, so far as officers could
make it out.
Mr. and Mrs. George Lorius, with
Mr. and Mrs. Albert Heberer have
been missing since May 22.
The note, written on a piece of
cheap writing paper, was picked up
on the highway between Florence
Junction and Superior, last Wednes-
day. Sheriff Charles R. Byrne has
not been able to determine the city
in which the street address appear-
ing on the note is located.
BANK BILL IS PASSED
BY SENATE VOTE
Washington, July 26.—The omni-
bus banking bill extending federal
control over the nation’s banking
system was passed today by the sen-
ate.
The measure now goes to confer-
ence to adjust differences between
the senate and house. A similar bill
has been passed by the house.
Final action came after only two
full days of debate, something of a
record for a major piece of legisla-
tion. No record vote was taken.
Less drastic a reform measure than
that passed by the house May 9, the
bill places control over supplying of
credit in a committee of seven fed-
eral reserve members and five repre-
sentatives of the 12 regional reserve
banks, through buying and selling
of government bonds in the open
market.
Just before passage the senate, de-
spite opposition by President Roose-
velt, retained a provision in the bill
to permit restricted underwriting of
seucrities by commercial banks.
It defeated a motion by Senator
La Follette, progressive, Wisconsin,
to strike out the clause, 39 to 22.
WILEY POST SAYS WILL JUST
TAKING TOURIST FLIGHT
Albuquerque, N. M., July 26.—
Just three tourists—that’s the way
Will Rogers and Mr. and Mrs. Wiley
Post described themselves today af-
ter their trip here from Los Angeles
in the new plane Post plans to use
in a flight to Moscow.
Both the cowboy humorist and the
round-the-world aviator laughed off
reports that the trip was the first
leg of the latter’s proposed flight to
Russia.
The hurried departure of the trio
from Los Angeles Thursday night
was followed by rumors they were
bound for Seattle, first stop of Post’s
aerial trip.
Rogers said he planned to see the
state from the air and loaf a few
days before returning to Los Angeles.
3 NAMED TO SAFETY BOARD
Austin, July 26.—Governor Allred
today appointed George W. Cotting-
hani, editor of the Houston Chronicle;
Ernest Goens of Tyler and Albert
Sidney Johnson of Dallas to the pub-
lic safety commission, recently estab-
lished by the legislature to direct
state police operations.
Goens is former district attorney
of Tyler, Smith and Upshur counties,
while Johnson is a member of the
Dallas civil service commission and
former secretary of the Texas demo-
cratic party.
The appointments will become effec-
tive Aug. 10, the date on which a
law combining the State Ranger and
the Texas Highway Patrol into a co-
ordinated police force will become
operative.
Allred said no action had been tak-
en as yet on selection of a director
of public safety or on appointment
of chiefs of the Ranger and high-
way divisions.
Governor Allred emphasized that
the existing personnel of the Rangers
and Highway Patrol would be trans-
ferred intact to the new department
of public safety for trial, and that
there would be a few new jobs avail-
able. He advised those seeking a
place in the organization to apply
to the public safety commission in-
stead of making application to in-
dividual members.
Under t(he proposed combination
the public saftey department will be
under direction of the commission,
with a director of public safety as
executive officer and various divis-
ion chiefs. The department will be
equipped with a bureau of communi-
cation and divisions of criminal iden-
tification and education.
All future appointments will be
under a modified civil service system,
Allred said.
Goens is recovering from a recent
operation but the commission is ex-
pected to meet soon, Allred said.
ALLRED STRESSES NEED FOR
BALLOT ON AMENDMENTS
San Angelo, July 26.—Upward of
1000 delegates, representing six pos-
tal service organizations from every
section of Texas, heard Governor
James V. Allred stress need for re-
turn of a high type of citizenship in
Texas. He spoke at the general as-
sembly Thursday afternoon.
Governor Allred introduced Sena-
tor Patrick A. McCarran of Nevada,
who also addressed the delegates.
Senator McCarran accompanied Karl
Crowley, solicitor general for the
postoffice department, here for the
three-day meeting. They flew to Abi-
lene from Washington. Governor
Allred also arrived by plane.
Allred pointed out rights of indi-
viduals to express themselves, and
asked an active interest from every
citizen in state and national govern-
ments. He stressed the importance
of Texans voting on the seven pro-
posed amendments on August 24, but
did not give a personal opinion on
any of them.
Organizations at the convention in-
clude the Texas rural letter carriers
and women’s auxiliary; Texas branch
of the national association of post-
office clerks and women’s auxiliary;
Texas branch of national league of
district postmasters and the Texas
branch of national association of pos-
tal supervisors.
MAN FAKED KIDNAP
STORY ON BET
Columbus, Ohio, July 26.—Robert
C. Byers, 42, a sales counsellor of
Columbus, who confessed his story of
being kidnaped was a fake, was fined
$50 and $5 costs in police court here
today for making a false report to
authorities.
Byers confessed to detectives that
he perpetrated the hoax a few days
ago to win a bet that he could gain
newspaper publicity within 72 hours
at a cost of less than $100.
In his original story to Cleveland
police, Byers said three kidnapers,
mistaking him for his brother,
George, a Columbus automobile dis-
tributor, abducted him and demanded
ransom. When they discovered their
mistake, he said, they released him
on his promise to pay them $500.
