CLUB OBSERVES LADIES' NIGHT ' I Rotary Club Entertains Ladies At Monroe Thursday Night "Palestine is the hot spot of the world." the Rev. C. H. Smith, pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal church of Fort Wayne, and a world traveler, told members, wives and guests of Decatur Ro-1 tarians at a meeting held in the Monroe school house Thursday night. E. W. Bus< he of Monroe was ; chairman of the program and arranged the entertainment. While the dinner was being served, a quSrtet composed of Josephine and Phyllis Zehr and Betty and Guyneth Schindler of Berne played the accordian and sang several special numbers, including one written for the occasion. The Rev. E. S.' Morford, pastor of the Monroe M. E. church, led community singing, accompanied by his wife. Rev. Morford also sang a number of solos. The banquet was a part of the regular ladies night program, of which J. Ward Calland is chairman of the committee. Tells of Travels Rev. Smith told of his experiences in Europe and the Orient and said in spite of the world wide attention focused upon the SinoJspanese situation and the internal strife in Spain, the danger of a. world war is greatest from the difficulties met by the British in govj erning Palestine, now under their mandate. He said that the royal ' commission's report released two weeks ago served only to increase the danger of war. This report recommended a division with a ' small part of the most fertile regions in Palestine going to the Jews and most of the remainder to the Arabs. The British are to reserve a corridor between the two factions. Economically, Palestine is one of the most valuable territories in the world, he said, not because of the agriculture but because of the Dead Sea basin which has chemicals awaiting extraction equal to the entire wealth of the United States. Politically Palestine is the only (COXTINUED ON PAGE FOUR) • o PUBLIC ADDRESS SYSTEM ERECTED Public Address System .To Be Used During Street Fair Week Work on the erection of the public address system for the Decatur Free Street Fair and Agricultural Show was started this morning by Marcellus Miller, local radio expert.

2 ARE MISSING AS SHIP BURNS Two Are Dead, Five Injured As Ship Destroyed By Flames Baltimore, Md., July 30.-—(U.R) - The smouldering wreckage of the 26-year-old stern-wheeler City of Baltimore wallowed In Chesapeake Bay today as officials counted two dead, five injured and two missing in a fire which converted the vessel into a blazing furnace last night. Safe on shore were 91 passengers and crew members, many of whom were forced to leap — lifebelt clad—into the chill waters of the bay to escape scorching flames which flared from an unknown source below deck and amidship. One crew member, a fireman named Callis, reported himself safe at 9 a. tn. today after being listed as missing throughout the night. Scores of rescue boats, many of which worked all night picking up survivors, still plied about the smoking hulk in an attempt to locate the two persons —one crewman, one passenger — still unaccounted for. Three naval airplanes from the nearby U. S. naval academy at Annapolis mde a survey flight over the scene shortly before dawn, but sighted no bodies or survivors. The pilots reported the City of Baltimore was destroyed, with only the blackened boilers and smokestack protruding above the water line. The steel hull of the vessel, owned by the Chesapeake Steamship company, was aground near Pinehurst, a village on the bay : shore. Thu dead: J. S. Pollinkoff, 69, Aiken. S. C. Whealton. The missing: H. Paige, a passenger. Cy Haynie, a sailor. Five were injured. They were: Elizabeth Ramsay. Baltimore, sec(CONTINURIV ON PAGE FOUR) HELLER SPEAKS AT FORT WAYNE Dick Heller Lauds Townsend, Roosevelt In Speech Fort Wayne, July 30.—(Special) —The Democratic party in Indiana must not permit elected officials to break faith with the people by turning their backs upon the overwhelming mandate to support i President Roosevelt given 1n the 1 election last November, said Dick Heller, executive secretary to Gov. M. Clifford Townsend, in speaking last night at a Democratic picnic 1 in the pavilion at Lakeside park. The program was sponsored by the Woman’s Jefferson club of Allen county. "This is not a fight against our senior senator,” (Sen. Frederick Van Nuys) Heller said. ! “It is a plain statement of funda- | mental democracy. It goes for him and it goes for anyone else who is disloyal to the President and the Democratic party.” The statement regarding loyalty to the President and the will of the majority came after Heller had lauded the administration of Gov. Townsend. The speaker reviewed the governor's achievements in bringing about successful settlement of the steel strikes in the Calumet district and handling the flood disaster in Indiana last winter along the Ohio river. He said that Gov. Townsend was able to effect settlement of strikes in two indepenj dent steel companies in Lake coun- ’ ty involving almost 20,000 workers. He reported that since April the Indiana labor division has settled labor disputes involving more than 50,000 workers. "One the question of loyalty to the mandate of the people,” Heller said: "When a person becomes a public servant, either by election or appointment, he loses a certain amount of individuality —he becomes a representative of the majority—that's democracy —that's America.” o Combined Picnic At Flat Rock Sunday The combined inter-river zone and Maumee valley zones of the Zion Walther league will hold a picnic at Flat Rock, near Hoagland. Sunday afternoon, starting at 1:30 o’clock. A complete program of entertainment has been arranged for the event. The picnic was to have been held last Sunday but was prevented by rain.

MOP UP TIENTSIN Tokyo, July 30 — (U.R) — The newspaper Nichi Niehl reported from Peiping today that 300 Japanese refugees in the city of Tungchow had been massacred. The paper said Chang Chin-Yu, chief of the East Hopei peace preservation bureau, had revolted against his own government in an effort to overthrow Yin Ju-Keng. head of the Japanese-sponsored regime in Eastern Hopei. Yin Ju-Keng was reported missing and some believed he was kidnaped. The Nichi Nichi reported that the Japanese victims at Tungchow consisted of some from Peiping and other local residents of Tungchow, believing the “friendly protection” of Eastern Hopei authorities was certain. Nichi Nichi’s report of the massacre was not officially confirmed. The Domei agency said the Tientsin garrison had issued a communique saying 20 Japanese soldiers had been killed in the fighting at Tungchow and that reinforcements were believed to have arrived there tonight.
