In Peace Attempt (Continued from page 1) Washington last month of Waka sugi, Japanese minister, who was understood to havo carried new instructions. Japan Acting Under Nazi Pressure, Indication By the Associated Press On the surface, the urgency of Kurusu's trip appeared to Indi eate that Japan was now thor oughly alarmed over a possible eruption In the Pacific. There were Indication1!, too, that Germany, Japan's axis part nor, may have been putting heav ier pressure on Tokyo to assume an active role in the European conflict-perhaps by attacking Russia from the east or hamper ing the United Slates aid to Brit ain by hostilities with this coun try. For several days past, the Jap anese press has renewed its at tacks on the United States and openly demanded "a final show down," reversing the previous week's overtures to the United States and Britain to accept Jap- IT IS AUTUMN At Beautiful Natureland AUTUMN surges In, rich with color and the promise of new experience and Interests.

Domel, the Japanese news agency, said Kurusu would sec ond the efforts of Ambassador Nomura to "explain the Japa nese situation to the United Stales leaders, Including Presi dent ltoosevelt." War Alternative Hinted This development coincided with a bold declaration in the JapairTlmcs and Advertiser, con trolled by the Japanese foreign office, of a seven-point program It said the United States should "make effective on her own Ini tiative" to ease the tense Pacific situation. If the United States falls "to mako the right turn in the road," the newspaper said, "she can face the alternatives." The program outlined by the newsnaper called for the halting of all military and economic aid to China, the stopping of alleged encirclement of Japan, acknowl edgment of Japan's co-prosperity sphere, recognition of Manchu kuo, lifting of freezing measures and restoration of trade treaties. In another far eastern develop ment, the Netherlands East In dies banned the export of high octane gasoline to Portuguese Timor, officials Indicating they were seeking to forestall any ac cumulation of stocks which might fall into Japanese hands.

Knox Argues For Arming Arming of merchant ships was described by Secretary of Navy Knox today as one means of helping reduce American ship losses due to submarine attacks In the battle of the Atlantic. At a press conference, the sec retary was asked whether the employment of tactics new in submarine warfare as compared with World war methods meant that the arming of merchantmen would not be so effective as in 191718. Emphatically, Knox replied that placing guns on such ves sels would help reduce losses. "Submarines have no love for ships with guns on their decks," Knox declared. He said that new U-boat taclics resolved chiefly around hunting in packs. He also noted that the subs "are hunting on the surface at night," and he declared that the arming of merchant vessels would make such raiding opera tions much more difficult than when they were carried out against unarmed convovs pro tected only by warshio escorts.

Both Sides Post Victories Virginia democrats rolled. up a landslide majority for their gu bernatorial nominee, former Representative Colgate W. Dar !en of Norfolk, but Fairfax coun ty, embracing George Washing ton's Mount Vernon home and burial place, provided an unex pected upset by electing a repub lican, Col. R. R. Fair, to Ihe slate house of delegates. Special elections were held In Mississippi and Pennsylvania to fill vacant seats In the house of representatives. Jamie L. Whit ten, Charleston democrat, was the apparent winner in the sec ond Mississippi district, and Wil son D. Gillette, republican, built up a lead over George O. Wag ner, democrat, In the 15th Penn sylvania district. Republican nominees for Penn sylvania supreme and superior court Judgeships pulled away from their democratic opponents on the basis of incomplete re turns, and Scranton, Lancaster, Uniontown and Hazleton named republican mayors. Democrat Cornelius D. Scully managed, however, to retain the mayor shin of Pittsburgh. Maurice J. Tohin won reelec tion as mayor of Boston, thwart ing a comeback campaign by James M. Curley. Both are regis tered democrats. Jersey Republicans Win Governor Charles Edison's at tempt to wrest control of the New Jersey legislature from the republicans failed, despite the governor's statewide stumping lour. Dwlght H.

Victory went to a democratic sponsored coali tion slate consisting of 15 demo cratic and eight G. O. P. candi dates. Balloting on some legislative candidates and on proposed con stitutional changes aroused little interest in Kentucky, since demo cratic control of the state legisla ture was not at stake.
