Johnson, Indianapolis. today became a decided favorite to head the Young Democratic chilis of America —assembled here in their national biennial convention.

Johnson, a former deputy state attorney general and president of the Indiana Young Democratic club, announced his candidacy for election as national president of the organization immediately after administration leaders capitulated. Agreement on Johnson followed prolonged conferences during which factional differences were ironed out and the necessity of putting the probelm up to national chairman James A. Farley was obviated. Johnson's chief opposition when the 10.000 delegates begin voting Saturday on a field of seven candidates is expected to comes rom Pitt Tyson Matter, Montgomery, Ala. secretary to Gov.,Bibb Graves. Other candidates include Floyd Harper, Tipton. Ind.; Wilford Peebles. Youngstown, O.; Paul A. Williams.

Wallace asked the support of Indiana farmers in a broad, long-range agricultural program in an ddress here late yesterday sponsored by the state conservatiop department. lie advanced a seven point program which he asserted should be the basis of future farm legislation for the farmers’ ‘ welfare and prosperity in the years to come.” The points in Wallace s program were a fair share of the national income; an even-normal granry to provide for carry over of grain from good to lean years; a soil conservation program; a recure tenant system; an adequate cooperative program among the farmers; adoption of government policies to encourage development of family-sized farms but not to exclusion of larger and smaller farms; and continuous appropriations by state and federal governments to encourage more efficient methods for producing and marketing crops. Wallace assailed “old-line, stand pat conservatives as well as the extreme radicals," whom he said were seeking to promote factionalism in agriculture by throwing out smoke screens to becloud the vital issues. The cabinet member also expressed vigorous opposition to former President Herbert Hoover's tariff plan to keep "the American market for the American farmer saying it would promote sectional jealousies and invite another economic crash comparable to the last depression. Wallace concluded with the asI sertion that although agriculture has made great strides in the last few years, it still has some distance to go to obtain its share of the national income. —o— Boy Scouts And Cubs ’ Will Meet Tonight Sylvester Everhart, Adams county L'.y Scout commissioner, today asked all Boy Scouts and Cubs to I meet at the Central school bundling tonight at 7; 30 o’clock.

THREE VIOLENT QUAKES SHAKE ■ MANILA TODAY No Casualties Reported As City Is Shaken By Quakes Manila, P. 1., Aug. 20.— (U.R) — A series of three violent quakes, sols lowing each other in rapid successI ion, shook Manila tonight. The s city was thrown into wild confusion. Walls of modern office build- ! ings were cracked and water mains , burst. Hundreds of persons, in- ’ eluding refugees from war-torn ] Shanghai, were imperilled but apparently there were no casualties. Refugees from China were disI embarking from the liner PresiI dent Jefferson at the time of the first shock at 8 p. m., Manila time. s About 400 of the former residents , of Shanghai were crowded on pier j seven or leaving the boat when the shock, accompanied by a deep, j rumbling roar, was felt. Several of the passengers faint- . ed. The second shock followed 20 minutes later but was of lesser ini' tensity, as was the third, which • was felt at 10:33 p. m. Weather observatory officials 1 said the first shock was of “inten- . sity six.” described as severe, i T’aere probably would be a sueeess--1 ion of shocks of lessening intensity throughout the night, they f! said. Telephone and power services were disrupted in many parts of the city and wide sections of Manila were plunged into darkness momentarily. The rumbling of the quake was 1 accompanied by the sharp sound of breaking glass as store windows i were shattered. ETevators jammed in downtown bui'dinge and the panic cf persons ’.trapped in the lifts added to the i confusion. A two-inch crack split i the front of the modern Insular Lite building. o Annual Conference Planned At Berne ’ Several hundred persons are expected to attend the annual confer ,ence of the Defenseless Mennonite church, which will be held in Berne, opening August 25.

. Fear Grave International Crisis In Accidental Shelling Os American War Vessel. EIGHTEEN INJURED By United Press At Shanghai today a shell from a Japanese gun struck the U.S.S. Augusta, flagship of the American Asiatic fleet while anchored in the Whangpoo, killing one sailor end injuring 18. The incident, certainly accidental, gravely imperiled international relations, it occurred while Japanese were furiously firing at attacking Chinese aircraft. International law permits free passage of U. S. warships on the river and the American Asiatic commander in chief, Admiral Harry E. Yarnell, had only today repeated a demand from Chinese, ou the one hanj. to move his vessel downstream, and from the Japanese, on the other, proposing to restrict movement or vessels on the riverway. At Washington there was immediate demand by Senators Bennett Champ Clark and Gerald P. Nye that the U. S. government evacuate the battle area and invoke the recently passed neutrality act. President Roosevelt, in his press conference, said he had received only briefest reports of I the Augusta incident and said that I for the present American authorities on the spot would handle the situation. He said he was in conI stant touch with officials regarding American neutrality. Severe fighting, although be tween comparatively minor units, I marked the Shanghai situation. A hot revival of air raids ensued. Penetration by C hinese guerilla troops into Japanese lines in the Hongkew section of the international settlement, led the declaration of martial law- there by the defenders. New fires broke out. Every indication was that from now on. there will be a rapid development in the clash of massed forces, as opposed to the minor units er aged. For the first time, the Tokio eovernr at voiced a determina- ' through Premier Prince i-uinimaro Konoye, to beat China to her knees. Gen. Chang Chih-Tsung, commanding the Chinese army at Shanghai, significantly asserted his belief that operations of Nipponese forces “will probably end soon and successfully” — but he added a prediction that the war, as a whole, probably would be long-drawn out — further prediction of the ulitmate mass scale of the combat to come. Indications that the Chinese were preparing an intensive bombing of the Whangpoo river to rid the waterway of enemy warships, came in a Chinese demand for neutrals to withdraw from that area of Changhai. It was rejected by foreign governments, including the United States. In the Tientsin-Peiping sector, the Japanese gave indication of their apparent strength and readiness to strike in force, by in(CONTINUED ON PAGE SIX) _o POOR RELIEF NEEDS FILED Four Townships Find Levy Unnecessary For 1938 Purposes Four townships are not seeking a levy for poor relief in 1938, fine to balances in their 1937 appropriations.
