The armistice came after nearly two years of intermittent warfare in Manchuria, the of Jehol. and in North China, during which, it is estimated, China lost more than 50,000 men and the Japanese 10,000.

The state is ready to build as soon as funds are available. Some federal relief funds for public works will have "no strings attached."

An automobile stolen here shortly before the shooting and bearing bullet marks was found in a lane five miles north 'of here by a posse early today. Another car' bearing Kansas license plates was found abandoned near the city last night. Officers-said the car found today was'the one from which the group of men exchanged shots with the police chief. The exchange occurred in a residential section of the city.

The finding the car led to the belief of officers that the men, suspected of being some of the Kansas convicts who escaped Tuesday after kidnaping the warden, were hiding along Spavinaw creek. Violence flared at scattered points along the routes of flight chosen by the 11 despradoes who fled in two groups from the Kansas state prison at Lansing Monday; bloodhounds sniffed at the heels of two convicted killers who dashed away from the Oklahoma, penitentiary here yesterday, holding for a time a guard hostage.

Gill' ROOSEVELT OUTLINES PROVISIONS OF OIL REGULATION BILL WHICH HE WISHES PASSED BY CONGRESS Ickes Tells View President To Committee YjyASHINGTON, June 1 President Roosevelt, through Secretary Ickes, today told the house way and means committee he hoped an amendment to include oil regulation would be attached to the industrial control bill now pending- in the senate. As the house committee began hearings on the Marland oil control bill.

Ickes testified: "Just before I left my office this morning Colonel Mclntyre '(one of president's secretaries) called me and I am authorized to say on behalf of the president that he hopes very much that there will be attached to the nati'onal industry recovery bill the following section en conservation of petroleum to read: "Section 10. For the oil industry, in addition to the pbwers granted the president concerning codes of fair competition, agreements, and licenses, he is authorized to prescribe regulations to supplement state conservation legislation regulating the production 'of petroleum, to allocate equitably the national market demand for petroleum and the products thereof, among the oil producing states and between domestic production and importa- tibns and to prohibit the transportation in interstate commerce of petroleum and the products thereof produced or withdrawn from storage in violation of any state or federal-law or the regulations prescribed thereunder." of Delinquent Tax Ruling Awaited By Collectors LATE NEWS WASHINGTON, June 1 President Roosevelt approved today 257 new forest projects on, which more than 50,000 young; men will be employed this summer and fall in 35 states. A ruling from the attorney general is being awaited by tax "collec- tors with regard to penalties and I possible interest on 1932 taxes which i become delinquent on July 1. Tax relief measures recently passed seemingly do not apply to 1932 taxes, although many Austin observers believe the intention of the legislators was to include them. The law states that all interest aud penalties assessed by the old statutes on taxes delinquent on or before February 1.

1933 "shall be and the same are hereby released." However, the law provides a 1 pet- cent penalty on taxes paid on or before Sept. 30, 1933. A 2 per cent penalty is placed on delinquent taxes paid after September 30 and before December 31, 1933; a 4 per cent penalty on delinquent taxes paid after December 31, 1933 and before March 31, 1934; and a 6 per cent penalty on taxes paid after March 31, 1034 and before June 30, 1934. The penalties are not cumulative. The law defines the charges as penalties and not interest.

Another provision is mat all the taxes for any one year may be paid at one time without paying the entire tax account. ADOPT TAX BILL AUSTIN, June 1. houses of the legislature today adopted a conference committee report on a bill to combine the offices of tax assessor and tax collector.

In counties in excess of 10,000 population, a collector and assessor of taxes would be elected at the next I general election.

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT WITH AMERICAN DELEGATION TO THE LONDON ECONOMIC CONFERENCE, June 1. agreements in principle rather than specific treaties are expected from the London economic conference, American delegates who are proceeding to this meeting' aboard the steamship President Roosevelt revealed today. "Gentlemen's agreements" for the conservation of gold and for the coordination of internal policies are hoped for as an early accomplishment.

Cordell Hull, American secretary of state, and chief of the delegation, and 'his colleagues spent quiet day aboard ship, banning con- ferences or formal statements. The coordination of internal policies of the leading nations on public works and other capital expenditures for simultaneous revival of industry and the flow of credit are regarded as urgent, it was learned authoritatively. While authorities are inclined to regard definite stabilization of currencies as dependent upon the conclusion of each nation's effort to put its house in order internally, some think a better use of gold through reduction of reserve ratios principle.

All of a sudden a little touch of femininity circus midget, sat on his lap. Piloted by an enterprising press agent, Miss Lya has seen 31 years but grown hardly a mite- gave a real circus touch to the senate Morgan investigation scene.

It will be remembered that Senator Carter Glass, containing against past it was like a circus, addthg "all we need is peanuts arjffpink lemonade." Threfreshments were missing tiny Miss Lya headed through crowd for the Morgan group, while it waited for the hearing- to begin, shdok hands with several and walked to the dignified. hea.d of the firm. Laughing, he rose, took her hand and sat down again. Then unexpectedly the press agent the midget the banker'? lap. Ho looked non-plussed but submitted gracefully at the start.

Soon his face became stern as pictures were taken. Before Miss Graf was placed on hii lap. Morgan had chatted amiably with her. "Where do you live?" he inquired. "In a tent, sir," she replied.

Morgan told the midget that he "had a grandson bigger than, you "But I'm older," Miss Graf said. After tanee being on the banker's lap, the midget slid slowly down and then climbed back. Spectators roared with laughter; and before long Morgan also was in good humor again chatting' with his partners. Subsequently, the senate banking committee warned newspaper pho, tompjjers thatjf any pictures taken of Morgan with midget were used they would from future hearings. JVTARCH FIELD, Riverside, June 1 reports received here today said that eight men were killed in midair collision of two army air corps planes above Cajon Pass, in the mountains to the casl of San Bernardino.

A second report irom San Bernardino was to the effect that two planes carrying seven men collided, killing three of them. Neither could be verified immediately. The report to the army air base here said one craft was a bomber carrying seven men and the other an observation plane with a pilot. The bomber was en route to San Francisco and the other plane to Las Vegas, both dispatched out of March field. The weather was foggy over the mountains but whether this was the cause of the accident also was not known.

Officers at the base said they believed the men in the bomber were Lieut Charles M. McHenry, pilot; Lieut. Edward; D. Kennedy and five enlisted men, three of whose names were given as Privates Spencer, Decker, and Ramino. The other two were not identified.

Four of the enlisted men were from March field and one- from Crissy field, San Francisco. The flyer in the observation plane was identified as Lieut. William L. Trimble. The unofficial report said that the wreckage of the two planes had been found with eight bodies.

Panhandle Oil Allowable Up Barrels The new Panhandle oil schedule issued yesterday, and which went into effect this morning sets the-allowable at 44.000 barrels or 1,000 barrels more than the last summary, issued March 1. The percentage of allowable oil to be produced under the new schedule is 12.56 compared with 11.44 per cent in the previous summary. Field potential increased very little, due largely to the decrease in old well production. New producers were not numerous during the period, largely because of the unsettled condition in East Texas. Potential of the Panhandle field under the new summary is 151 820 barrels.

Of that ambunt, 123454 barrels is proratable with the balance marginal or exempt. The Gray county potential is 112,363 barrels, with the allowable! 27,040 barrels Summary totals are 1.861 wells, 896 marginal wells, 151,820 barrels potential, 25,755 barrels marginal U2 6W barrels exempt oil. 123,454 barrels proratable oil, 44,000 barrels allowable. The Gray county summary is 828 oln wells 244 marginal wells, 11J.363 ban-els potential, 13,743 barrels marginal oil, 976 barrels exempt nin 7 644 barrels Proratable oil, 27,040 barrels allowable. T.
