The Chinese community in Manila have expressed their satis faction upon learning that the Nanking Government, in its official anaouncement, severed relations with Soviet Russia and ordered the closing of all Soviet Consulates

within the Nationalist territory, na a result of the Canton uprising which was believed to be agitated by the Soviets.,

The Chinese community, when it received the news that the Nanking Government had stopped negotiations with Soviet Russia and closed the Russian consulaten in China, sent cables expressing their congratulation for the action taken. The first cable was sent by the first branch of the Kuamin- tang party and was followed by the one from the Chinese Na- tional Union. This Union was only organised last year and is com- posed of many prominent Chinese Buch as Dee C. Chuan, Albino 2. SyCip. Dr. Chong Su See and many others,

Announcement was withheld until to-day because "King Ben's" fans- tical followers had expected their chieftain to come to life once more in a miraculous resurrection.

When the predicted time had passed and the body continued to fte stiff and cold, heads of the cult reluctantly allowed the news to be- come public.

Long in Public Eye.

Purnell has figured in nowspaper news and gossip for many years. His colony suffered practically a death-blow on November 10 when Judge Loula Fead held that the cult was a public nuisance on account of Immorality practised at the House of David.

The youth named an Andrew Cramer as his partner in the crime, and accused him of having killed the girl and cut up her body. Hickman admitted, "how- ever, that it was he who collected $1,500 ransom from the 'child's father and then threw the girl's torso from his car after he had obtained the money.

Hickman said that. he intended to use the ransom to go to college. A part of the money was found in his possession when he was ar rested.

When first taken into custody, the youth denied knowledge of the girl's death, saying that after taking the child to a show he turned her over to her part- ner, and knew nothing of her whereabouts since that time.

He also expressed regret that the girl was dead. "Marian and I were good friends he said, 'I real ly liked her and I am very sorry she was killed."
