France Acts Paris, Oct. 26— (U.R) —Gravely anxious after "pirate'' attacks on two French vessels, the government today took direct, single handed action to protect its Medi- , terratiean communications by force of arms. A destroyer was sent racing to the Balearic Islands to protect air France airplanes and it was repqyted that a full squadron of destroyers would follow. New orders were issued to all fleet units to fire on any war craft., submarine, surface, or air, which j attacked French merchant ship-, ping in the Mediterranean. The situation was made more serious because in each of the two attacks which caused this emergency action it was indicated that Italian airplanes, aiding the Spanish Nationalists, were suspected as the attackers. After ministerial conferences, I the foreign office issued this for- ' mal communique last night: "Following attacks of which two . ject, the government has urgently French vessels have been the obtaken steps to assure the identity of the aggressors and will determine measures to meet such acts. A warship already has been sent Ito the scene of the attack. The French government will take the ■ steps necessary to assure protec--1 tion of its Marseilles air line." It was disclosed today that' this . communique was issued only after it was approved by the air and navy ministries Particularly important were the I statements that the government was “urgently'' taking steps to identify the airplanes which attacked the French ships and that the government was prepared single-handedly to protect its communications lines. It was pointed out that this must be read in connection with the fact that airplanes operating in the vicinity of the attack are regarded i as Italian ones and that the govi ernment is prepared to end such 1 attacks by force The attacks which caused a sud- : den grave turn in the Mediterran- { ean situation were: 1 — The French steamship Oued | Mellah, on its way from French I Morocco Io Port Vendres, France. I with a cargo of wheat, was sunk i by an airplane on the high seas, j 50 miles east of Barcelona. Spain. on the direct line of French communications to Africa. The crew were saved l>y French destroyers which responded Io its SOS call. 2 — An airplane attacked the Air France mail plane base in the Bay 1 of Fornells, in the Island of Minorca, held by the Spanish Loyalists. The French dispatch boat No. 91 was burned by indeudiary bullets and Spanish Loyalist reports } alleged that the airpltne pursued fleeing civilians to the countryside, machine-gunning them. So seriously was this second attack regarded that it was announc ) ed officially today that Air France I service on the Marseilles-Algiers i line, the principal one between . continental Frame and French I North Africa, would be suspended i until warships had arrived at the j Bay of Fornells. g — —_»o — CHINESE ARE <’CONT INTTK H EHOM ,PA G E ONE anq shells of every gun they could I bring to bear. A Japanese spokesman said that it was the first time Lin tho It) weeks and more of the battle that every agency of the 'Japanese war machine, army and navy, had cooperated ou one objective fully. The bombardment moved forward —a creeping barage. Then, the Jap--4

anese tanks went lumbering over the blackened country aide, acrou no man’s land and into the streets lot Tazang, with the infantry just behind them. Armored "-are brought up the rear. The tanks clanked through the streets of the little town from north to south an<] back again. Then the Lnfantry went in. j f r hours, Japanese and Chinese i fought hand to hand in the narrow, ■ rooked streets among the piles of | debris and the rotting bodies of the slain. The Chinese retreated, and 'at 4 p. in. (2 a. m. CST) the Japanese completed their occupation. Other shock units were moving westward north and south ct Tazang toward Chenju and the Nanking railroad. The strategy of the Japanese was plain. They wanted to cut off all the Chinese at the south-end of the I Chinese line, bulged out eastward to Gaingway in a dangerous salient. Their drive for the railroad meant that they would leave but e perilously narrow ,b—tttle neck, between them and the international settlement here, for the hordes of Chinese defending Kiang wan and the Chapei-uorth railroad station section to escape through. It was because of the known danger of the Kiangwan-Chapei forces that the Chinese withdrew frern Mi-a-.hang. A Chinese spokesman, frankly admitting the Japanese advance, said that the Japanese flankI Ing movements cracked the Tazang line and that the Japanese then I were able to push westward in such strength that ft was necessary for ■ the Chinese to retreat toward Chen- : ju. This movement, in turn, endang- ! ered the men at Miaohang, at the ’extreme eastern bulge of the Salt- | ent, and they had to retire on northern Kiangwan.

LEADERS PLAN SPEEDY ACTION Plan Fast Special Session; Early Closing Regular Meeting Washington, Oct. 26 — (U.R) — Democratic leaders planned today for a high-speed special session of congress to shorten the regular term and permit members to campaign during next spring's prim-} arles. This was revealed in a letter from Chairman John O'Connor, D . N. Y.. ot the house rules committee, to his colleagues. He explained that if quick action is taken during the special session, adjournment by April 30 of the regular term, which begins in January, is probable. President Roosevelt, in calling the special session, listed the minimum wage • maximum hour bill, the seven “little TVA's" mea- ■ sure, revision of anti-trust statutes, federal government reorganization bill, and farm legislation as ad ministration objectives. He did not specify that all were to be enacted at that meeting. Meanwhile, Chairman Fred M. Vinson. D . Ky., of the house ways and means sub-committee, which [ is in charge of preparing a broadscale revision of tax statutes, called his group to meet November 4 although the bill will not be submitted before the regular session. O’Connor said that he was “hopeful” the house rules committee would report the wages-hours bill favorably shortly after the special session convenes. If it does not, a petition of 218 members or a majority of the house would be required to force it from the committee which would delay considi eration until mid December. Should President Roosevelt's pending program be enacted at the fall session, only regular approi priations bills, new relief outlays ( ! and the tax revision, which Presi-1 dent Roosevelt asked last session.} aside from routine bills, would face the regular term.

Y., where he is on trial in connection with a seven-year-old robbery charge. James N. Noonan, his attorney, can be seen at the left conferring as the jury (right) looks on.

June 30, 1939. , Mr. Roosevelt's objective since ! last January has been a balanced ; budget. As 1937 treasury revenue } estimates were demonstrated last week to have been overly-optimis-tic, Morgenthau began to avoid committing himself on balanced budget prospects. Certainty oof new taxes and uncertainty of stock market developments combine to confuse and dominate the immediate political outlook here, including propects for the extraordinary session of i congress which will convene Nov. 15. President Roosevelt has stipulated new revenue to balance any 1 new expenditures for farm relief. Budget experts now are looking for $100,000,000 or so of free money with which to fipance a corn loan : against falling prices. So far there is no indication that the fnoney I will be found. Unless it is disI covered, the corn loan must be financed by new taxes, new borrowing or by economies. The national debt already is I within $50,000,000 of the $37,000,- | 000,000 point at which Mr. Roosevelt expects it to become stationary before a fall. -To meet new revenue conditions stipulated by Mr. Roosevelt, congress will have to hike taxes if the new deal's ' ever-normal-granary bill is passed.

, It will cost around $700,000,000. These new taxes probably will be indirect, so far as the public is concerned, and most likely in the form of processing taxes directly upon processors of farm commodities. But any tax bill is explosive business with primary campaigns and a congressional election coming on. Unless taxes are levied to offset expected farm relief expenditures.: all chances of a balanced budget , must vanish. The outlook for a i I balanced budget is no more than i fair, anyhow o CIO MAKES PEACE ' FA.Gg-QNJB> bitter months. Although the federation's stand was not made known, it was understood that many leaders in the parent organization were opposed to receiving the CIO unions on terms which would allow them to become dominant units in certain l industries. Mediation of this issue was expected to become the chief barrier during the peace conference. The peace plan was evolved in a "tactical meeting" of the CIO delegates early today with John L. Lewis. During that conference, Charles’ P. Howard, secretary of the CIO.,
