Chinese troops trapped half of them inside the wall and fighting ceased only when a Japanese mediator and a Chinese official escorted the Japanese to the embassy quarter. It was asserted that the Japanese virtually surrendered. Then, on the complaint that Chinese troops at Tungchow refused to evacuate or disarm, Japanese this afternoon attacked the Chinese garrison there with airplanes and infantry. A Japanese spokesman at Tientsin asserted that the Japanese “annihilated the garrison to the last man.’ There were soon signs that the Japanese were proceeding deliberately to erase this incident.

By United Press NEW YORK, July 27.—Assistant Chief Inspector John A, Lyons said today that New York police had been asked to look for Virgil F. (Bert) Effinger, alleged national commander of the Black Legion. Requests for his arrest, Inspector Lyons said, came from Detroit and Columbus, O., after Effinger reportedly was seen here.

By United Press GREENFIELD, Mass, July 27.— Evelyn Dill, 29, of Boston denied today from the witness stand that former Dean Thomas Edwin Elder, 55, of Mount Hermon School kissed or embraced her, or even “chucked” her under the chin while she was his secretary. Testifying less than 15 minutes at Elder's assault trial, Miss Dill categorically denied the testimony of S. Allen Norton, 66, retired Mount Hermon cashier, that he saw her and Elder kissing and embracing in her office in 1930. It was Horton's complaint that Elder threatened him with a shotgun in his garage the night of May 25 that resulted in Elder's trial. :

Ind.) today sought presidential approval of more than $3,000,000 in work relief projects for Indiana, including a $1,125,000 street improvement program at Gary.

should decide to run without formal sponsorship of either major party. It was learned that Mr. Lewis has, in effect, purged the league of both Democratic Party and American Federation of Labor influences. Friends say he conceives this organization now as merely the political arm of his C. I. O. Quiet Realignment

The realignment has been carried on quietly in a series of related steps which culminated in the resignation of Senator Berry (D. Tenn.), as president of the league, reportedly at the demand of Mr. Lewis and Sidney Hillman, treasurer of the league and President of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers Union. No new president will be elected, leaving Mr. Lewis, as chairman, in control and Mr, Hillman, a C. 1. O.

TEMPORARY ROUTE FOR TRUCKS FOUND

Approval to Be Asked Following Inspection.

A temporary answer to the City’s vexing truck routing problem had been proposed today and is to ‘be presented to the Mayor's Special Truck Committee for consideration Thursday. A subcommittee decided on a route for trucks from the North at a session last night. Today this subcommittee is to make an inspection trip before asking the larger body for final approval. This proposed route, which the subcommittee hopes will be satisfactory until a $3,000,000 traffic-belt around the city is constructed in the future, follows: From U. S. 31 from the north, trucks will turn on W. 73d St., circle to 7ist St. and then go to State Road 29 which enters Northwestern Ave. From there they will go south on West St. into the city.

OFFICER WINS CASE ON DEMOTION PLEA

Corbin to Be Restored to Former Rank.

Detective Sergeant Morris Corbin today won a victory in his appeal to the Safety Board from Police Chief Morrissey’s order permanently demoting him to the rank of firstgrade patrolman. The board, in a decision announced after a closed session, ruled that Officer Corbin’s demotion be effective for only 90 days from July 5 and that at the expiration of that period he be restored to his former rank. Chief Morrissey ordered the demotion on charges that the officer signed a statement to help win a parole for Willard Kelley, serving 17 years in the State Prison for participation in the Roberts Dairy Co. robbery. At a hearing before the Board last week Kelley testified that he had forged the officer's name. The Board today upheld dismissal of Patrolman Wayne Money because of conduct unbecoming an officer.

CASUALTIES MOUNT _ IN MEXICAN QUAKE

By United Press MEXICO CITY, July 27.—Casualties in Sunday's earthquake mounted today as reports were received from isolated areas and some 40 deaths were recorded in all. Thirty deaths occurred at Maltrata, in Vera Cruz State, and the town was almost in ruins. Damage to a power station there disrupted railroad service in electrifled portions of the area.

“prain-truster,” as his right-hand man in future maneuvers. Mr. Lewis is now telling his associates: ‘The league has enough officers as it is now. We do not need a new president.” First ‘broad battlefront for the reconstituted League will be the 1938 Congressional elections, for which Mr. Lewis frankly is planning in advance. It was disclosed that he has cemented a series of political understandings with various minority groups, including the Farmer-Labor Party and the Commonwealth Federations of the Northwest. Open “Break” Reported It has been recurrently reported that a “break” between Mr. Lewis and President Roosevelt was in the offing, but neither the labor leader nor the Chief Executive has commented publicly upon such rumors. Frank discussion of the league’s plans in the 1938 elections among Lewis's close associates indicates that a parting of the ways may have been reached already. Suggesting ‘such a split were Presidential criticism of C. I. O. steel strike tactics—as well as of the independent steel corporations’ refusal to sign contracts with the union—in his “plague o’ both your houses” statement and Secretary of Labor Perkins’ almost simultaneous denunciation of sit-down strikes. Mr. Lewis has been irked continually by what he believes to be indifference on the part of the Administration to the cause of his steel strike and punctuated this belief with publication this week of sharp statements by his United Mine Workers’ Union and Steel Workers’ Organizing Committee taking the Government to task for alleged failure to protect strikers’ rights.

Report G. 0. P. Refuses To Support Copeland

By United Press NEW YORK, July 27.—The World Telegram said today that Republican leaders have decided not to support Senator Copeland, Tammany candidate for mayor, for the Republican nomination in the primary. The newspaper said Republican leaders felt that the death of James J. Dooling, Tammany leader and supporter of Senator Copeland, had weakened the Senator's chances of victory in the primary on the Democratic ticket against Grover A. Whalen, favored by county Democratic leaders outside Manhattan for the nomination. Mr. Dooling died yesterday of apoplexy brought on by a heart attack. The World Telegram said Senator Copeland was supported originally by Mr. Dooling because of his belief that the Senator would be accepted as the Republican nominee. It was reported that Mr. Dooling had been assured no Republican opposition would develop against Senator Copeland because of his anti New Deal activity.

HINT FILIBUSTER ON WAGE BILL

Southern Bloc May Present Antilynch Proposal as A Rider.

(Editorial, Page 12)

By United Press WASHINGTON, July 27-—The Senate today undertook consideration of the Black-Connery WagesHours Bill amid undercover threats

of filibuster tactics involving the propsed Federal Antilynching Bill.

Some Senate sources said that forces opposing enactment of Federal wage and hour legislation at this session planned to inject the highly controversial lynching question into the debate by offering the proposed Antilynching Bill as a rider to the Wage-Hour Bill.

The antilynching measure ie vigorously opposed by many Southern Senators including a group which also opposes wage-hour legis=lation. Introduction of the antilynching issue would be certain to arouse prolonged debate.

The filibuster Senator Black (D. Ala.) co-author of the Wage-Hours Bill, appealed for its enactment on grounds such regulation was “purely a Federal problem.” The Senate Judiciary Committee today approved a bill introduced by Senator Borah (R. Ida.) designed to end “racketeering” in receivership and bankruptcy cases in the lower Federal courts. Jackson Is Called

“I am disturbed by a vague lone- |

Mrs. Leonard, unharrassed by the demon whose image panics the professor whenever he leaves the neighborhood of his home, was in Chicago deciding whether to carry out divorce plans she discussed with her attorney.
