Presley told Anthony Talarlco of 26 North Broadway when the latter was arraigned in police court this morning on an assault-and-battery charge preferred by Walter Tepper of Rumson Road, Rumson, The court case came at the after math of the theft of a motorized scooter which was taken from Tep-per's plant, the Martin Rubber Company, in Long Branch Avenue last February. Although the case had been reported to police, the motor-scooter did not appear until Tepper saw it being driven down Long Branch Avenue last Friday afternoon. He said that he followed the scooter into Grant Street. There he stopped and asked Talarico's brother, Freddie, who was with the de fendant on the vegetable truck, his name.

Anthony Talarlco, be said, then came to his brother's side and took over the Talarlco side of the campaign. An excited crowd of Italian residents gathered. Tepper left and se cured a patrolman, who came back with him and the motor scooter was placed in Tepper's car. The patrolman, jumping in another machine, left after telling Tepper to follow him to police headquarters. It.

was after the officer left that the fracas took place. Both Tepper and his wife testified that Talarlco had made remarks such as "if you'd have been a man you'd have come around and fought for it," "I'm going to take a swing at you," after which the rubber plant owner had told him that "you'd better grow up a little first." Then, they said, Talarlco swung, catching Tepper's shirt and tearing It Meanwhile the other residents were yelling, and some of them spitting on the Tepper automobile. "Where you from?" the court asked Talarlco. "Jersey City. I came here five weeks ago," was the reply.

"Well, I suppose that up there the politicians let you get out of things like this, but not here in Long Branch. "Therefore, this "court finds you guilty as charged. And I might tell you that second offenders on assault and battery charges always get jail sentences without the al-(Continued on Third Pagei -v 1: JERSEY CITY IN I BY Jl 'Permanent Government Basis Started To-Ignore China's Claims To Sovereignity In Rich Section CHANGLU SALT FIELDS TAKEN BY INVASION Japs May Abandon Tientsin Custom Office And Hake Tangku Entry Port TIENTSIN, Aug. 9.

The Japanese troops, commanded bv Mai. Gen. T. Kawabe, paraded along the boulevards and under arches of triumph" that proclaimed imperial China's glories. Then the various units deployed throughout the city, taking up their garrison duties.

The municipal rovernments of Peiping and Tientsin, formerly under the control of the Chinese cabinet at Nanking, have been placed in the hands of the Japanese formed and supported "peace preservation so-fr cieties." Their aim, like the Hopeh provincial advisory tees, is to "register opposition to the advance of troops of the Chinese government into Hopeh and mauv tain friendly relations with Japan." The usefulness of Tientsin's mayor, Gen. Chang Tzu-Crtmg, as a wedge to split the arm opposition to the Japanese advance has enaec and he is being allowed to retire. This enables the Japanese to change the Hopeh-Chahar political council established by the Nanking governmentto the advisory committees to which the Japanese have ap pointed survivors of the mandarin class under the Manchu emperors.

There was speculation as to whether the new regime was paving the way for the last of that line, Hsuan Tung, the former boy emperor, to return to the Dragon throne. Since 1931 Japan has main tained him as the Emperor Kang Teh on the throne of Manchoukuo. The tactics used in establishing the current regime, Chinese charged, are identical to those used in changing the government of Manchuria to Manchoukuo before Kang Teh was placed on the throne. Chinese speculated on the possibility Kang Teh might rule a combined Manchoukuo and North China from Peiping.

UPh-Congress settled down today for a two-weeks' grind toward adjournment, but the normal legislative positions of the Senate and Houso were almost reversed. The Senate, its calendar cleared of most major bills, waited for the House to dispose of such Important measures as housing, wage-hour legislation and the court procedure bill.

New Orleans PAROLEE GOI.FESSES British Practical Working Agreement With Italy Looms Next Month LONDON, Aug. 9. CSV- Possible French objections to a practical working agreement between Great Britain and Italy arose today as diplomats began preparing Britain's Case for the Rome friendship talks scheduled to start at the end of September. Diplomats were compelled to keep in mind constantly that a four-power western pact to replace the abandoned Locarno- Tliably reported as a possible outcome of the growing friendliness would raise a storm of protest in a peoples' front France bound by a pact with Russia. On the other hand, it was felt likely that France, which has been following the British lead in most matters of foreign policy through traditional fear of Germany, would rea)ize that, in the long run, she would stand to benefit as much as Britain by settling accounts with Italy.

Foreign office experts, therefore, have set themselves with enthusiasm to the task of nrenarinir the groundwork for the talks in which foreign Secretary Anthony Eden and Count Galeazzo Ciano, Italian Foreign Minister, may participate. The steps taken toward a new Locarno are already boosting the name of Premier Neville Chamberlain as high as the now shattered Locarno treaty boosted that of his late brother, Sir Austen, in 1935.
