The thieves gained entrance to the business place in the same manner as they did on the prev lous through a rear cellar door, up a blind stairway and then boring a hole through a wall which had been sealed following the re cent entry. Since the other robbery, the store had been kept lighted dur ing the Police believed that the thieves crawled around on their hands and knees to put loot in three bags which were later found in the neighborhood, each still containing a discarded watch chain. Loot again consisted, of rings, lockets, watches, pen and pencil sets. Loss in the earlier theft was also placed at $1,000.

W. T. Mason (United Press War Expert) While heavy concentrations of German troops in Rumania increas ingly threaten Russia's position on the Black Sea and in the Balkans, General Tatekawa, newly-appointed Japanese Ambassador to Russia, is enroute to Moscow to try to placate or overawe Stalin as part of the Axis strategy. It is probable'that no major action will be taken by the Germans in Rumania for extending the war until General Tatekawa has had an opportunity of determining Russia's basic reactions to the new triple alliance. Japan's dispatch of a high ranking Army Commander as Ambassador to Russia, Immediately after making the military alliance with Germany and Italy, carries the im plication of offering Stalin a pact of friendship in a mailed fist.

If the Russian accept, it will be under duress and with reservations secreted In their minds. Under more normal conditions a Russo Japanese non-aggression agreement, advantageous to both nations might be negotiated. While Russia and Japan are rivals in the Far East, their mutual sense of realism has acknowledged that war between them would be too costly to be lightly ventured. Now, however, with the triple al liance encircling Russia with poten tial enemies in Europe and the Orient, the situation has changed fundamentally. A Russo-Japanese non-aggression treaty has become a practical impossibility because Japan already has pledged herself to "assist Germany if any country now at peace joins the war against the Germans.

Should Russia conclude that her vital Interests demand a hostile attempt to check Germany in Southeastern Europe, no Russo-Japanese pact would be operative. Thus, General Tatekawa's mission must necessarily be limited in scope. He cannot agree that Japan will not molest Russia if Stalin goes to war against the Axis. If the Russians were to consent in good faith to a non-aggression understanding with Japan, it could only mean that Stalin has definitely decided to remain at peace with the Germans for the duration of the present war, regard less of future developments. Such a pledge, however, would be wholly disadvantageous to the Rus sians, who cannot know in advance whether conditions of belligerency in Europe will not change to give the Slavs an opportunity to strike with probability of success.

Especially, it is impossible for anyone to foretell with accuracy what may be the future policy of the United States. General Tatekawa, however, should be able to determine with some degree of accuracy the time element in estimating when, ir ever, Russian resentments concerning Southeastern Europe and the triple alliance may come to a head. He may be able to placate Russia temporarily by offering an advantageous settlement of some of the Russo-Japanese problems In the Orient. Too, General Tatekawa's military position must keep ever present in Stalin's mind the threat, of Japanese hostilities if Russia becomes involved with Germany. This fact, without doubt, is being counted upon by Hitler to hold Russia back, at least for the time being.

But there Is no certainty concern ing Stalin's immediate policy. He has Men trapped for the moment by the triple alliance and by events in Rumania, and his basic resolve must be to break the Whether he will decide to smooth matters with Japan for the present or will try to keep Japan and Germany guessing about his Intentions Is as yet pro blematical. If Stalin could negotiate an agreement for the removal of a consider able part of Japan's troops threaten. ing Russia in the Orient, that would be a success for him, but it seems improbable that Japan would weaken her own position In that way. Any action, however, by General Tatekawa causing hesitancies and delays at Moscow, through keeping Japan's own intentions veiled, will give Germany more time to strengthen its position in Rumania, which is what Hitler wants.

Japs Accuse F.D.R. Of Political Motives TOKYO, Oct 15 U.R) The ex treme Nationalist newspaper Ko- kumin, -accused President Roosevelt today of opposing Japan and its alliance with Germany and Italy from political motives. Kokumin, which purports to interpret army and navy opinion, charged the President with "exploiting" the totalitarian alliance in order to offset "peported growing American public opinion against- him for his mistaken far eastern policy, which drove Japan into the Italo-German camp." It attacked the President for advising Americans to leave the Far This advice, It said, "was simply instrumental in whetting American public feeling against Japan." The newspaper asserted that the President's actions might be attributed to his election campaign. Nichi Nichi, joining in an increasingly vigorous newspaper campaign against the President and the United States generally, said Mr. Roosevelt's Dayton de fense speech, while a restatement of American policy and meant for domestic consumption, "clearly indicated that America Is launching positive opposition to the new alliance, and indicated a decision to enter the war."

(U.PJ The 422 draft boards have "nothing to do" with the registration tomor row of Pennsylvania's estimated 500,000 prospective draftees, state conscription headquarters said today.

Duties of the non-paid, 3-member boards will begin immediately after the registration is completed during the 7 ajn. to 9 pjn. period by local election officials, it was pointed out, since the primary function of the boards is to classify men 21 through 35 according to their eligibility for unary service. Boards will mail questionnaires to each registrant. From the resultant data the prospective draftees will be classified into 13 groups according to their progressive eligibility for call to military duty.

Each registration card will be given a serial number, progressing from the numeral after the cards have been "thoroughly shuffled." Then the conscription director in Washington will then be advised by the local boards of the total number of registrants. Lottery drawings will be made In Washington, it was explained, so that the drawing of a single number will call to service one person from each of the 6,500 local draft board jurisdictions in the nation, provided each Jurisdiction has a registrant designated by that number in the eligibility, class being called. Appeal boards will be set up to handle objections from registrants to their classifications. Each board has an appeal agent and a medical examiner.

Ruling Prepared On Military Leaves HARRISBURG, Oct. 15. U.R The Justice Department is preparing a formal opinion on military leaves for state employes. Deputy Attorney General George J. Barco will submit his study to Attorney General Claude T.

Reno Thursday. It will deal with state laws allowing unlimited leave to state employes who are National Guardsmen, 15 days to reserve officers, and providing payment' of one-half of salaries not to exceed $2,000 to state employes' inducted into military service "during war or contemplated war." Since the unlimited leave for guardsmen Is granted under the act creating the Pennsylvania Na tional Guard, some authorities be lieve the leaves would not hold when the Guard is under Federal control.
