Four groups, the Wolverine, the new Women's Cooperative, the Roch- dale Student Cooperative and thec five-year-old Socialist House, are or- ganized here on the non-profit basis of the international "co-op" move-l ment.

Rlussia Attacks Jap Bombings, Tension High a Diplomats Reduce Threat Of War; Report Troops MassingAt Border MOSCOW, Sept. 27.-P)-A So- viet warning against "lawless" Jap- anese bombardment of Nanking in- creased tension between Russia and Japan tonight, but diplomatic circles nsisted the crisis was "not alarm- ing. They pointed out that other coun- tries, including the United States, had protested the bombardment. They professed to believe that the two countries will avoid hostilities. (Reports from Tokyo declared Rus- sia and Japan were concentrating troops along the frontier between Si- beria and Japanese-dominated Man- choukuo. The Japanese newspaper Hochi said the Siberian port and Soviet army post of Vladivostok was seething with anti-Japanese feeling. (Another Tokyo newspaper said Russia and China had negotiated a secret military alliance. A Japanese foreign office spokesman said he had "'much information" about the re- ported pact). Russia's warning to Japan was be- lieved to be in response to a Chinese appeal asking Russia to "take mea- sures" which would help end quickly such "barbarous and inhumane ac- tivities" as Japanese bombardments. The Soviet government registered "determined protest" against any bombardment of the Soviet Embassy at Nanking, and declared it would hold the Japanese government re- sponsible for any damage resulting from such a bombardment. Officials of the Embassy, the note declared, had been instructed to re- main at their posts.
