TOKYO IS WARNED SOVIET WILL USE D R ASTI CEFF 0 R T S Russian Temper Growing Shorter Litvinoff Re jects 'Frontier Incident' Classification for War - By the Associated Press Two new clashes on the Manchou-' kuoan-Slberlan border widened th" gulf today between Japan and Soviet Russia whose efforts to negotiate' peace on the disputed frontier so far have been unsuccessful.

Litvinoff ' rejected tn Japan stand that the fighting could be eon Idered "frontier Incident." He warned Russia "determined In simi lar case In th future to resort to most drift tic measures. Including th use of artillery and aviation." Two Friction Point An abridged text of th Litvinoff Shlgemitsu conversation, published In Tokyo, Indicated two point of friction: 1. Russian Insistence that th die- ; puted Changkufeng area be returned to the statu quo of before July W, when the Japanese captured It, against Japanese Insistence It be re turned to the statu quo of before July 11, when Soviet troops fortified It. v i.
