Pennsylvania Motor Police and combined municipal agencies here wrre ready last night for a deter¬ mined weekend safely drive, aimed to reduce to a minimum Wyominc Valley'.s share of the nation's Labor Day toll of death and injury.
Fortified with up-lo-lhe-minuti statistics, compiled by trained ob¬ servers stationed at the valley's principal points of entrance, an army of police officers lasl night launched a carefully planned pro¬ gram that will not slacken until Labor Day of 1937 pas.ses into his¬ tory.
Motor Police unit.s form the key¬ stone of the campaign whose ex¬ ecution is expected to break rfbwn ¦Wyoming ValUy'i dcath-and-injury law of averages for the past five Labor Days.
Car* By the Thousands From vehicle-laden highways and from the air Motor Policemen plan to  put  into  operation  the  general safety   crusade   which   will   be   di¬ rected  regionally  by  Captain  Wil¬ liam A. ciark, commanding officer of  Wyoming  Barracks  and  acting head of combined Stale Police and Slate Highway Patrol forces here. He gave some idea of the heavy influx of vehicular traffic into this section of the state last night, when he announced that during a four- hour observation period yesterday, approximately 5.000 New York and ' New   .Tersey   motor   cars    crossed' Mount   Bethel   Bridge,   near   Port- j l.ind,  main   entrance   point   to  the Poconos.
"From 6 a. m. to 10 a. m." Cap- [ tain    Clark    said,    "approximately ."iOOO  New  'Vork  and   New  .Jersey \ automobiles passed over the Mount i Rclhel   bridge.   They   moved   onto i Route fill,  headed  for the  Pocono i Mountains, our men making an ef¬ fort   lo   relieve   the   congestion   by transferring   some   of   this   traffic to    Easl    Stroudsburg,    oul    over Routes 90 and 190." i

Hollwood, Sept. 4. (UP) The rivalry of two of Hollywood's highest priced and most beautiful movie stars went to court today, with Kay Francis charging that Claudetle Colbert had received a role that rightly should have been here.
Miss Francii filed suit against her employer, Warner Brothers, asking the court to dissolve her contract which calls for $272,000 annually. Miss Francis alleged that Warner Brothers borrowed Miss Colbert from her employer. Para¬ mount, and gave her the role that she had been promised.
Miss Francis and Miss Colbert arc of the same type'-tail, statu¬ esque brunettes wilh striking eyes and hair—and theirs is one of the screen's closest rivalries. The role that both wanted and Miss Colbert got was in the screen production of the successful New York and London play, "Tovarich."
Miss Colbert receives $1.50,000 for each of her pictures and makes one picture a year.
(liven Inferior Roles
Miss Francis, her heart set on the role in "Tovarich." said it had been promised her but at the lasl moment Miss Colbert was imported from Paramount. Instead of giv¬ ing her the good roles they had promised, she charged. Warner Brothers had been casting her "in parts and plays of inferior quality." (Continued on Page A-4)

Italy was plainly worried by the situation, which hns aligned five 1 naval powers—Britain, France, Turkey, Greece and Russia—into a bloc which may begin operations in the heart of what Italy now con¬ siders her primary area of naval influence.
Rome was understood to be seek¬ ing, through every diplomatic chan¬ nel, an invitation to the conference, which has not yet been tendered.

Manville Has New Aide (Blonde); Will Spend $200,000 For A Divorce
I     ue
New Rochelie, N. Y., Sept. 4 (UP)—Tommy Manville. million¬ aire specialist in blondes, had a new manager (blonde, 18) and a new attorney tonight lo help him get rid of his fourth wife, Marcelle Edwards.
The asbestos heir, who spent $10,000 for full-page newspaper ad¬ vertisements for a lawyer and got hundreds of replies, said he was willing to spend up to $200,000 for a divorce, "complete and no threats,"
The attorney was Frank Devlin, who hadn't even seen Manville's ad. He WHS brought to the gray-haired millionaire's home by Dr. William H. Bishop, Manville's personal physician.
Manville, however, personally picked his manager, Jean Ryan, of Hollywood. Her duties were not made enlirely clear and telephone calls to Bon Repos, the Manville estate, did little but add to the confusion.
A feminine voice answered one call.
^  "I'm  having more fun," it said.
'Ive got an  iced lea glass full of
champagne in my hand right now." Another voice, masculine  said: "A   lot   of   those   things   they're

their belief that Italian submarines are responsible for attacks on mer¬ chantmen in the Mediterranean. London newspapers pointed out that no Italian ships have yet been subjected to these sub-sea attacks. The British policy, which will be presented at the Geneva meeting, has been clearly indicated. She will — in co-operation with the French j and perhaps the Russian fleet— make war on all "pirates" in the Mediterranean.
Italy  Realize,)  Suspicion And    although    British    governl ment officials have given no indi¬ cation that Italy is under suspicion, Italy knows that such is the case.
The nations included in the pro¬ posed "piracy conference" at Geneva at present are France, Great Britain, Turkey and Greece. Italy is seeking some way in which she can be included, even if only informally.
French and British diplomats discussed a possible Italian invi¬ tation today, but the move report¬ edly was blocked by Italian inti¬ mations that if the Valencia gov¬ ernment is invited to send a repre- .^^entative, the Spanish Nationalist government must also be invited.
France refused on the ground that such action would imply recog¬ nition of the government of Gen. Fiancisco Franco. It was felt that the conference might easily throw the entire international situation in Spain squarely before the powers. Soviet  i^leet  Prepares \

He was committed to the Luzerne County Prison in default of ball and will enter a formal plea of guilt before one of the county judges on Tuesday.
Balovage's arrest was made yes- I terday afternoon by Constable Stanley Ambroziak of Mocanaqua and two deputy fish wardens, James Miller jr., of Mocanaqua and John Meyers of Glen Lyon.

Shanghai, Sunday. Sept 6 (UP) — Wilh bombs and steel Japan today flung back her answer to the de¬ mand of three foreign powers that Chinese and Japanese forces cease fighting near the International Settlement, where the lives of thou¬ sands of Americans and other foreigners liave been endangered by twe days of steady bombing.
Ten Japanese war planes took to the air at dawn and began unload¬ ing bombs within a stone's throw of the settlement proper—12 hours after the United States, Great Britain and France had jointly asked withdrawal of her war fleet and troops from the settlement area.
New  Menac«  From  Russia
Desperately pressed by an en¬ raged Chinese army that hammer¬ ed back the lines of well-drilled Japanese troops to the banks ot the 'Whangpoo, and harried by, * new menace from Soviet Russia— the throat of war-planes coming into China over a new air route from Moscow—the Japanese mili¬ tary command spurned the tri-' power proposal.
The proposal was received with silence by Japanese diplomatic of¬ ficials, but the Nipponese military command said "No" with big gray bombing planes.
Nine Japanese planes roared over the settlement at dawn, power div¬ ing over Soochow Creek where they dumped more than 20 bombs, rocking the settlement.
Some of the shells exploded near St. John's University but did no damage.
Chinese guns replied with shell- fire that sprayed over the settle¬ ment, bringing foreigncrG directly under the range of the big bat¬ teries.
Chinese (Jrow Confident
Thus, as the Chinese-Japanese war, which started outside Peiping the night of July 7. neared the end of its second month Chinese were increasingly confident that they would prevent the Japanese army from carrying out ils announce! threat of crushing all organized military resistance in this country and forcing the Chinese people and their government to accept Japan¬ ese   domination.
The bloody battle which started around Shanghai on August 12 in¬ creased in intensity and the Chi¬ nese claimed that the Japanese were losing everywhere on the smoking 25-m!le front.
Developments during the past 35 hours included:
The Tokyo newspaper Moyako said the Soviets are sending China 250 military airplanes and 150 anti-craft guns. It said Soviet aviators already are fighting with the NankinK air force and that one has been killed.
Japanese reports from Mako, In their southern island of Formosa, said that Japanese destroyers ar¬ rived yesterday off Amoy, big South Ciiina port, and began bombard¬ ment of the airdrome, fortresses and other military institutions of I lie city, which has a considerable Aiiicrican  nnd  British  population.
