Aroused by the Gardiner attack, Mr. Hoover had charged the Navy League head with uttering falslfica tions and said he would expect a public 1 retraction and an apology after the committee had completed Its inquiry.

The group made its report today, laying on the President's desk a document accompanied by a lengthy letter of transmittal. STATEMENT SPIKED Six of Gardiner's statements are especially stressed as in the letter Incorrect. These were: (1.) That the President and Prime Minister MacDonald of England had "admittedly" reached agreements never divulged in their entirety; 2.) That the administration refused to allow even an execu-. tive session of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to see the full record of negotiations preparatory to the London naval conference; 13.) That Mr. Hoover in 1920 delayed the building of the first five of fifteen cruisers Just ordered by Congress as a gesture preparatory to the naval conference not commensurately followed by other powers.

The military might of soviet Russia paraded in Red Square before the tomb of Lenin today in celebration of the fourteenth anniversary of the revolution.

On the heels of the soldiers came hundreds of thousands of workers, packed in dense masses, who sang lustily and cheered in honor of the nation's leaders grouped on the balustrade atop the tomb. This celebration of the fourteenth birthday of the soviet nation had been planned as the greatest demonstration ever held in Moscow, and it Teached Impressive heights. MILLION IN RITES More than 1,000,000 persons took part, coming from all parts of Russia, and there were many delegations from abroad. All day long the ceremonies lasted, and well into the night. Thousands of troops, massed in the square, stood at attention and listened to a speech by Klement Voroshilov, Commissar for War, who declared the soviet nation, is guiding the world among the ways of peace.

"We are leading the world in our policy of peace, but our workers and peasants have proved by their strenuous labor they can win victory in war as well as in the peaceful battles of industrialization," he said. "We must be ready to defend our union against foreign enemies who are uniting against us in the desperation of their economic crisis." The military demonstration was imposing. Cavalry, infantry, artillery and tank units swept by the Lenin tomb and overhead military airplanes zoomed by in smart formations. Then came the civilians, bearing red flags and effigies of the nation's great. On the bankers, in English, German, Chinese, Turkish and Russian, were the words, "Long live the world revolution." Marching with the workers were Communist delegations from America, Canada, Norway, Sweden, Germany, England, France, Belgium, Holland, Spain and Mongolia.

BUKHARIN SURPRISES Joseph Stalin headed the Russian leaders before whom the soldiers and workers paraded. Others on the Lenin tomb were President Kalinin, Premier Molotov and Nicolai Bukharin. The presence of Buk-harin was a surprise, for he has lost his high place in the state because of his rightist tendencies.

Before a record crowd of 83,000 persons Southern California beat Stanford, 19 to 0, thereby making it four in a row for the football charges of Howard Jones over those of Pop Warner. Jones is now two up on Warner, his Trojan teams having won four games, lost two and tied one since he came to the Coast to combat the wiles and deception of Pop's teams. Southern California swept to vic tory behind the fine play of a splendid line and the lashing legs of Shaver; Mohler and Pinckert. PINCKERT SHINES Shaver scored one touchdown and Mohler two. Both Shaver and Pinckert contributed sparkling runs of 34 and 31 yards, respectively, which paved the way for scores, and Pinckert's blocking and pass interception were flawless.

He lived i up to his all-Amerlcan reputation in every way on the greensward of the Olympic Stadium yesterday. Scoring touchdowns in both of the first two periods. Southern California had sewed up the game at half time, 13 to 0, although Stanford came back' fighting mad in the second half to dominate the play un til the last few minutes of the final period.

Ma appears to have adopted Wan's suggestion and the Japanese are wondering whether the Nonni bridge resistance, which cost the Japanese 182 casualties, was not part of the strategem.

RETREAT EXPECTED The danger of the commander in theffield pursuing the Chinese, possibly as far as Tsitsihar, explains the promptitude with as soon as it was known the Japanese at the Nonni bridge were iafe, orders were issued to restrict pursuit and halt reinforcements. Those reinforcements will be retained' at Taonan in the meantime, but the War Office expects Gen. Honjo, the Japanese commander, who is not oversupplied with troops, will recall them soon. The Chinese retreated to Tsitsihar without stopping. Japanese air scouts report there is no sign of troops in Angangchl.

Gen. Ma's tactics, beginning with the promise to withdraw ten kilometers, then suddenly attacking and finally retreating from a very defensible position, are consistent with the design to draw the Japanese on, and would seem inexplicable by any other, motive. VANTAGE HELD The War Office authorities repeated this afternoon their intention to withdraw from the Nonni bridge" as soon, as repairs are effected, but said instead of retiring to Chen Chia-tun, as originally planned, they will keep- the troops at Taonan. The phinese retreat has given Japan a valuable strategic position but a War. Office spokesman declared there is no Intention of holding it as a vantage point.

RUSSIAN DISCOUNTED Official dispatches states the Japanese casualties -were one officer and thirty-five men killed, seven officers and 137 noncommissioned of ficers and men wounded and two airmen wounded. The Chinese left more than 200 dead, including one Russian officer. His presence is without significance, as many destitute Russians enlist In the Chinese armies. Many of the Chinese casualties were inflicted by airmen during the retreat. Three Japanese planes were damaged.

SOVIET GENERAL PREDICTS WORLD WAR IN CHINA MUKDEN. Nov. 7. (Exclusive)-Gai Blucher, commander of the soviet Red army on the Siberian front in a broadcast Anniversary Day, address from the soviet station at Habarovsk today, declared the "Soviet Red army in the Far East did not hesitate to move to protect soviet interests in Northern Manchuria In 1929, and that will not hesitate to move again in the event of soviet interests being menaced." Concluding his address, Gen. Blucher declared it was his conviction that the present Slno-Japa-nese struggle in Manchuria means the actual beginning of a new world war.

Blucher, under the name of Gen. Galen, served as military adviser to the Chinese Nationalist, forces in the advance on the north' from Canton in 1927, but he left China following the collapse of the Red Chinese government at Hankow.

FOX RUMOR. CONSIDERED IMPROBABLE Report That ex-Executive to Return to Production Activities IS'ot Verified NEW YORK, Nov, 7. (Exclusive) Interests affiliated with Fox Films today described report that Wil liam Fox, organizer of the motion picture and theater corporations bearing his name and who was ousted from control of the companies last year, will again resume active management of the companies as "highly improbable." The former motion-picture head, who since his enforced retirement, has frequently been mentioned in connection with new realignments ot interests in the film field, could only regain control of the companies by agreement with General Theaters Corporation and the Chase National Bank, since a majority of the controlling stock is in their hands. That such an agreement has been made or is being contemplated by the Chase group, which last April gained representation on the Fox Film board, was doubted today by a Chase official, who has been active in the affairs of the film company. Associates! of Harley L.

Clarke, Chicago financier, who took over control of the companies when Fox was ousted, also placed little credence In the reports and said they knew of nothing to substantiate rumors that Fox was slated to take the reins and that Winfleld Shee-han, Fox general manager in charge of production, whose falling out with his former associate was extensively aired in the courts, would be let out.

Bmgham said he advocated Statehood for Porto Rico when citizens there have mastered the English language. Arias said he informed the President emphatically the Porto Rican people do not desire Independence.

He also said prohibition in Porto Rico is an "absolute failure." Arias was a former leader of the prohibition movement there. Tail-First Plane on Test Flight SPRINGFIELD (Mass.) Nov. 7.
