Wh ether France will follow the lead of the United States in invoking the nine power treaty in the Orient remained uncertain today. The foreign office statement said no decision had been reached. (Associated Press by Wireless) WASHINGTON, Jan.

8. With Japan and China notified by the United States that it can not recognize the legality of the situation in South Manchuria that has been created by the Japanese military occupation of Chinchow, international tension regarding developments in the Orient tightened today without indication of the next move. Invoking American treaty rights in the Far East, the United States served notice that it cannot admit the legality of Japan's occupation in Manchuria or recognize any resulting regime impairing the open door policy, or the nine power treaty, or the Kellogg pact against war. No official would forecast what steps might follow for the protection of American interests. The terms of all agreements invoked are vague in respect to penalties.

The apparent purpose was to marshail world indignation against any breakdown in the treaty structure protecting China and leaving further decisions to be made on developments. Talk of immediate drastic action, including the rupture of diplomatic relations, found no echo in official circles. The American notification was sent to both Japan and China and was made public by Henry L. Stim-son, secretary of state, without comment. It was said at the state department, however, that the United States has no dispute with Japan concerning treaty rights in Manchuria and no wish to intrude, except as American rights are affected or the anti-war treaty violated.

In view of Secretary Stimson's preliminary conversations with the British, French, Italian and other ambassadors of the powers that signed the nine power treaty, similar action by those governments, reserving all their rights in Man churia, appears probable. Japan Defends Position TOKYO, Jan. 8. W. Cameron Forbes, American ambassador, presented Secretary Stimson's note on the Manchurian situation to the foreign office today.

The opinion was expressed in of ficial circles that the military operation in Manchuria are not of the nature to justify intervention by the third powers. It was reiterated that Japan had made no demands in Manchuria except in respect to its treaty rights and that despite the representations of the other powers there was little chance that Japan would modify its Manchurian policy: It was emphasized that the administrative integrity of China in Manchuria before September 18, 1931, was not destroyed by the Japanese because the Nanking government never exercised real authority in Manchuria.

SETTLE VOTES Lone Farmer-Labor Senator Holds Balance of Power In Upper House By HERBERT PLUMMER (Associated Press Correspondent) WASHINGTON, Jan. 8. That he holds what might be termed the "balance of power" in the United States senate and is that body's most unified bloc apparently means little to Henrik Shepstead, Farmer-Laborite. Ask him how he feels about it and he'll merely bite vigorously on his mellow pipe, grin widely and dismiss the thought as of no real consequence.

His attitude is characteristic of this one-time Minnesota dentist turned to politics. The way he votes I the senate in this congress. There are 48 Republicans and 47 Demo crats. Eight years ago had he occupied the position he does today, there probably would be some to view this tall, gray-haired, slow-moving and serious gentleman with a degree of alarm. They didn't know just what to expect of him when he came to the senate in 1923.

Respected by Senators At present, however, his colleagues do not fear him or his views. He is generally regarded as a diligent, clear thinking and sound senator. Perhaps no one in the senate commands more respect than Henrik Ships tead the man once feared by some as being of the longhaired, radical type. But what does our Ships tead think about holding such a unique position? For one thing he believes that It is time for congress "to look after some of our own affairs. He thinks that this congress has a chance to be epochal, but smilingly explains that he is not a prophet and whether it will remains to be seen.

"It is too bad we were not in session all summer. What we should have been working on for the last year and a half will all be crowded in now. It's going to be very much more difficult.
