Russian Action Leaves Japanese Sagging, Guessing MOSCOW, April 6. (AP) Soviet Russia's - renunciation of her five-year non-aggression pact with Japan unquestionably has dealt a terrific blow to the sag ging Japanese, who were left to day in the position of not know ing precisely what the Russian action means. The Japanese know this, how-ever--that the Russians seldom if ever act without good reason, and they know the Russians- be lieve thev have a good reason for ending the pact. The. Russians themselves made this celar in renouncing the treaty, ' declaring bluntly that Japan not only is an ally of the soviet union's greatest enemy Adolf Hitler but is helping Ger many in her war against the U- S. S. R. ... '.All Soviet newspapers printed the official announcement of tne denunciation; but node com mented or speculated on the fu ture course of events. Technically the pact has an other year to run, but when one government tells another that such a pact has lost its mean ing and that to continue it is meaninpfess, one would hesitate to say that the spirit of the pact still existed. - There was a lack of official comment, although some may be forthcoming in the immediate future. The Russians put out their announcement and let any one think what they wished to about it. In the ODinlon of some foreign observers here, the Russians only signed the pact with Japan in an effort to avoid a two-front war, being fearful of Hitlers inten tions from the beginning.

He is burled 4n a military cemetery in Alsace-Lorraine, near the locality in which his death occurred, and services were held in keeping with the religious faith he had expressed. Colonel A. C. Morgan, his commanding officer, wrote the following words of svmpathy: "On behalf of the of ficers and enlisted men of your son's organization, let me extend deepest sympathy in your be reavement. Keith was a splendid soldier of whom you may always be proud. May I express my own personal sympathy in '-our great loss." Keith had a host of young friends and one of them. Don Kro eel, who is also a staff sergeant in the same company, learned of Keith's injury and was able to write of it to his parents in Rose burg. In this way the news of his hospitalization was received sev eral days before the government announcement of his death. Be fore he went overseas, he had his eood conduct ribbon and an Ex pert Infantry badge which he was awarded on "Infantry day" at Camp Adair last June. He was given a Combat Infantry badge in France.
