Britain readies Shanghai defense force to safeguard concessions
About 12 000 troops under Major General John Duncan plus artillery and armored cars will depart to defend the British concession in Shanghai if confrontation with Chinese forces escalates. The Shanghai defense force may total around 16 000 with infantry brigades and allies, as Britain strengthens its posture in China. A Daily Express correspondent warns of potential conflict between northern and southern Chinese forces, with briefings from Miles Lampson and Chang Tso Lin. Washington says the United States will not mass forces in the Orient, planning instead to protect nationals with available ships and await Kellogg's forthcoming statement.

Oil shale process offers potential oil recovery method
Washington January 25 AP two engineers from the bureau of mines C H Bowie and J M Gavin report a method to extract usable petroleum products from oil shale rock and oil soaked sand and surface bitumen. The bureau says the process could yield lubricants and fuels long after conventional oil is exhausted by handling free carbon that previously blocked vapor lines and damaged stills. Large shale deposits exist in western states and oil soaked sands underground could supply raw material if prices justify investment.
