SHOSHONE INDIANS CITED
FOR EASIEST DIVORCES
RENO, Nev. ( UP) Nevada's di
vorce laws may be the most liberal in
the country since the six weeks resi
dence requirement was adopted in
but they are a lot stiffer than
they were 10D a ears ago.
"You may think that Nevada's
widely publicized eas- divorce laws
are something- new, but they are not,"
remarked Letter Mills, IZiko high
r.'hool instructor and student of early
Ii dian life.
"The fact is that Nevada had easy
divorce laws as far back as 1800.
The divorce laws then were exercised
by the Shoshone Indians.
"It was necessary for a squaw on'y
t.i move her buck's belongings out of
their tent when he left, and when he
returned, he would understand that a
'divorce decree' had been taken
against him.

Japanese
Claim a Great
Aerial Victory
Japanese News Agency Claims Loss
of Twenty Chinese Planes in
Great Air Raid.
SHANGHAI, March 26 (UP)
Twenty Chinese airplanes were de
stroyed in the largest aerial duel on
the northern front since the outbreak
of the Chinese-Japanese war, the
Domei (Japanese) news agency as
serted today.
The battle took place over Kweiteh,
in northern Honan province, and last
ed only half an hour, according to the
report. Three Japanese squadrons
converged on the city at dawn yes
terday and encountered the Chinese
planes which already were in the air.
The 20 C'mnese planes were shot
down and then the Japanese planes
bombed and destroyed 10 more planes
no mention of Japanese losses.
Kweiteh Is one of the Chinese
strongholds on the Lunghai railroad,
east of Suchow. which the Japanese
hope to capture in a drive on China's
provisional capital in Hankow.
In Hankow, a Chinese military
spokesman hailed the Chinese stand
at Linyi. in southeastern Shantung
province, as a major victory in the
north China campaign.
The spokesman said that Japanese
troops fiercely counter-attacked the
Chinese at Linyi without success.
Nine Japanese planes were said to
have bombed Chinese positions, as-
sisted I'J" almost continuous artillery
barrages.
The Domei agency said that the
Japanese passed sonip distance to the
east of Linyi and occupied a village
five miles to the southeast. The
Japanese purposely avoided a frontal
attack, Deiemi said, but were endeav
oring to encircle the town so that
they could storm into it from all
directions.
In Shanghai, Japanese soldiers en
tered the American defense zone o
the international settlement and oc
cupied the home of Gen. Yu Yu-Jcn,
one of Generalissimo Chiang Kai
Shek's commanders. They removed
part of his personal effects and sta
tioned sentries about the house.
The Japanese claimed that the
occupation was in line with their
policy of confiscating the property of
all Chinese who "continue to oppose
Japan."
Mrs. Victoria Griffith, a Portu-guesc-born
naturalized American, re-
that she should remove her hat in
the presence of Japanese officials.
Mrs. Griffith said she failed to
repent tlie incident to the United
States consulate general because she
feared that the Japanese then would
refuse to let her remove her prop
erty. MONUMENT TO COW PROPOSED

Crazed Skipper
at Helm of Boat
Near Mexico
Radio Calls for Help Received at
Coast Guard Stations; Law For
tids Authorities Acting.
LOS ANGELES, March 26 (UP)
With its reportedly crazed skipper
at the helm, the S5 foot purse seiner
Sea Tern and its crew of 11, cruised
in Mexican waters 1,000 miles south;
of here today w ith navy and coast j
guard authorities powerless to go to j
the rescue of the desperate crew.
A radio operator of the Sea Tern
appealed frantically last night
to
United States shipping authorities
He radioed:
"Captain abusive, apparently in
sane. Fear death aboard soon. Will!
give department proof of illegal fish
ing off Peru and Ecuador."
The message, signed "Jaynes, radio
operator" was received by U. S. Ship
ping Commissioner A. L. Woodruff
from the Sea Tern, six weeks out of
San Pedro and ncrw in the Gulf of
California.
No further message was forth
coming. The appeal apparently was
made under great stress and was
jerky and hurried.
An international treaty prevents
the United States from sending aid to
American ships in trouble more than
250 miles below the border. "
The Sea Tern is skippered by Cap
tain Raymond Dragich, 0.
Naval authorities said all their
available craft was engaged in the
war games in the vicinity of Hawaii.
Shipping Commissioner Woodruff

the nearest American consul to re
quest assistance of Mexican author
ities. Mrs. Lieposava Dragich, wife of the
skipper, admitted there might be
trouble aboard but would not ex
plain her fears.

Gas Chambers
Made to Bring
Quicker Death
San Quentin Prison in California to
Have Fastest Action Cell,
Says Manufacturer.
DENVER (UP) Mile-high Den
ver nationally famous as a 1 ealth
center ironically has become the
nation's leading producer of lethal
gas chambers.
Earl C. Liston, a quiet, self-styled
"steel architect," and his workers
are applying the finishing touches to
a new gas chamber for San Quentin
prison in California. The same com
pany has built the grim steel death
boxes now in use in the state peni
tentiaries of Colorado, Oregon, Mis
souri and Wyoming.
"We seem to have a monopoly on
the gas chamber business," admits
Liston. "We've built five of them
and that's exactly live more than
any other company ever made."
Silent on Capital Punishment
Liston. who refuses to discuss his
views on capital punishment, prides
himself on the fact his gas cham
bers can take a human life in a
few seconds.
"We're makin
time." he said.
: them belter each
"This last one for
California is faster than the others."
The new chamber, which will sup
plant San Quentin's gallows, is equip-
ped for double executions and is
j guaranteed by Liston to "do its job in
well under 15 seconds."
The chamber is octagonal in shape
and is built of corrosion resisting
steel.
On seven sides it has windows
of bullet-proof glass, one and three
sixteenths inches thick. It is S feet
in diameter and 7 feet high.
The California chamber incorpor
ates an innovation in death cell
manufacture. Acid, which generates
deadly gas when it comes in contact
with the tiny balls of cyanide used,
is let into the chamber through spec
ial tubes. Formerly the acid was
placed in an ordinary crock under
the death chair and the poison balls
were dropped into it by pulling a
lever.
"This new system will mak it
easier on the executioner," explained
Liston. "Pulling a lever to kill a
man is hard work. Pouring acid
down a tube is easier on the nerves,
more like watering flowers. Uut it
gets results."

Trotsky Declares
U. S. to Become
Dominent Power
See:
Another World War as "Inevi
table" Revolution Might
Alter Situation.
MEXICO CITY, March 2 4 (UP)
Leon Trotsky, exiled Russian revo
lution leader, today predicted that
the United States would become the
dominant economic power at the con
clusion of the next world war, which
he described as "inevitable."
However, a revolution such as that
which other countries are likely to
experience after a world conflag
ration might alter the potential eco
nomic position of the United States'
he said.
Speaking to a group representing
the California Press association who
i
! called on him at his home yesterday,
I the former Russian leader said that
:the next great war would be fol-
lowed by almost universal revolution,
j possibly including the United States,
j "The materialistic interests real
; ize the coming world war will be fol-
,OW(,d ,,v l!niVersal revolution, and
, Troufcy fcaid. "but war is inevitable
eventually."
L,d its unparalleled resources
1 will enable it to become the world's
ecollom(c leader.
He believed the latest European
aevc loprac-nts. including the absorp
tion of Austria by Germany, were
lending the world nearer war. He
did not predict when it would begin.
Attempts to repartition the world
will be the principal reasons for the
war. Trotsky said.
! He added that the only key to
j world peace is for nations to distri
bute their goods equitably. A closer
j balance between production and con
sumption would nelp to remove
threats of war, he said.
Trotsky told the California group
that Russian revolutionists started
with high dieals. but now the Rus
sian people are being exploited, he
said.
Members of the California Press
association visited Trotsky while
they were cu their annual visit to
Mexico.
