FRIDAY, 'AUGUST 21. 1936 THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM. OREGON ) TERROR MARKS JAPAN'S SWAY OVER TIENTSIN Tientsin, Aug. 21 (IP Ten assas sinations of political figures In ad dition to several bombing, explo sions and other acts of violence is the record established In Tientsin, base of Japanese military opera tions in North China, during the past hectic 12 months. Almost every Important hotel in the Japanese and French conces sions 'can now point to bullet marks In the walla and dark spots on the floors where some politician met his doom at the hands of assassins. Two Chinese newspaper edtiors on the Japanese payroll, one offi cial of the mayor's office, one rail way official, two ex-bandits under Japanese protection, one ex-warlord , two m 11 i la ry pol ice ofiicials and the secretary to another no torious worlord fell in this manner Several attempts were made to assassinate Mayor Hsiao Chenying .during his tenure of office, by send ing him bombs through fche mails and by chit-coolies, but the infernal machines were discovered before they exploded. The mayor never traveled outside his yamen without a strong body-guard, nor. for that matter, do other high officials. A Japanese troop train narrowly averted being wrecked when a bomb exploded under the rails while It was near lii g Tientsin on May 29. A bomb exploded near the official res Irience of the Japanese military commander In the Japanese con cession. Two bombs were found m the lavatory of The Forum, gam bling arena in the Italian concci- won. while Mayor Hsiao was having his fight over "donations to charity." Since the bomb explosion near the Japanese commander's resi dence there has been a noticeable change in Japanese policy toward such Incidents. Previously, on the slightest excuse, the official spokes men and the Japanese press burst forth with torrents of abuse against Ihe Nankiang government, the North China officials. Blue Shirts, or whatever suited their fancy, be fore any investigation, was made. Now the Japanese authorities for hid the Nippon press from making any accusations until a complete investigation has been made and some definite proof of the perpe trators has been obtained. In the last three assassinations, the Jap anese consular police within a few hours annnounced that the mur fers had no political significance. WILL INCREASE Oregon may have more student enrolled in its grammar and high itliools this year than ever betore. Charles A. Howard, superintendent of public instruction, believes. Reports from county school sup erintendents all over the state in dtcate that several thousand chl dren have come Into Oregon in re cent months with their parents from the drouth areas of the mid dle west to swell the school attendance. The record year so far has been 1632-33 with 309.433 pupil In the schools, Howard said. The superin tendent would not venture a pre diction as to this year's total, but said all indications were that a new record might be set. Attendance was down to 202.141 last year and 201,654 In 1933-34. The 1931-33 school census or count of all children of school age was the record at 262,498. The declining birth rate has been leflected In school figures for the last five years, Howard pointed out. Between 1930 and 1935, grade schools lost 10.000 pupils, but hig.i schools added the same number to maintain a balance. Orade school attendance dropped from. 154,908 In 1930 to 144.449 last year. High school enrollment Increased from 47,687 In 1930 to 57,692 last year. STtClAL! Our usual wave rttTe complete I Perm. Oil Push V.
