Britain and France in patrolling the Mediterranean. Delbos and Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden of Britain were said to have replied that the condition was not acceptable. The pact was not ostensibly aimed at Italy, although no one doubted that it was: It was regarded as of the utmost significance, because it amounts to a temporary AngloFrench Mediterranean alliance, something the two powers failed to achieve during the Italian-Ethiopian crisis, Asks Holy Land Division Later Eden asked the Council to approve the partition of Palestine into Jewish and Arab states, with a British . mandated corridor which would include such holy places as Jerusalem, Nazareth and Bethlehem. Eden requested general approval of the partition scheme, enabling Britain to send a new commission to Palestine to arrange a detailed agreement which would end the Present Jewish-Arab {friction dating back to early post-war days. The Council convened in private at 5:15 p. m. to deal with its agenda, administrative questions and the vancany on the permanent world court. Then a public session began with Palestine the main item on tne agenda.
Order 100 Warships Into Sub Hunt
LONDON, Sept. 14 (U. P.)— British and French admirals in the Mediterranean were ordered today to put a formidable fleet of approxmiately 100 warships into action at once to combat submarine “pirates.” The warships--will be aided by a strong fleet of airships of both powers. The orders were issued promptly on the signing of the nine-power submarine patrol agreement at Nyon, Switzerland. The Anglo-French naval cooperation will be on the largest and closest scale since the World War. The powers will mutually make their naval bases available. British destroyers will use Toulon and other French naval ports to take on supplies. Royal Air Force pilots will be allowed to use French military air fields. Similarly, French planes will land on British aircraft carriers and air fields, such as Malta. British authorities were skeptical over reports that a British battleship had captured a “pirate” submarine in the Mediterranean. The report was that the battleship Malaya, on its way from Salonika, Greece, to the nearby island of Lemnos, encountered and seized a “pirate” submarine suspected ‘of having sunk a Russian oil tanker shortly before. The Admiralty here insisted that it had no information and there was no confirmation from other sources.
Three Rebel Forces Press on Gijon
HENDAYE, FRANCO-SPANISH FRONTIER, Sept. 14 (U. P.).— Three Rebel columns pressed slowly toward Gijon from different directions today in an effort to join their lines. and cut off the last Loyalist, base on the Biscay coast. While insurgent warships blocked the Gijon harbor, Rebel contingents pushed across Asturias province

many and Japan have an understanding regarding mutual opposit tion to “bolshevism.” The Russian note disclosed that Japan had worked hard to keep open the two consulates. The one {at Novo Sibirsk, particularly, was |at a most imporiant point for Japan so far as pulse-feeling was concerned, situated as it is on the great trans-Siberian railroad along which all troops and men go to the Far East and what would be the Japanese front in a war.
5000 Americans in: Shanghai Endangered
By H. R. EKINS (Copyright, 1937, by United Press) SHANGHAI, Sept. 14.—Nearly 5000 Americans, comprising refugee civilians and military forces, were placed in acute danger along with thousands of other foréigners. :ionight when the battle of Shanghai shifted again to the vicinity of the International Settlement. The Chinese, although in full retreat from the area between Shanghai and the Yangtze to the north, nevertheless decided to base their new defense line at the North Station in the Chapei section of the city proper, where they have heavy artillery. The line then would be sharply north and west toward the lake region. As a consequence, hostilities shifted back to the Settlement on the Chapei front, where machine gun, rifle fire and grenade bursts presaged a violent Japanese offensive to follow up the firing of the city by bombs during the day. The Chinese artillery in Chapei, mounted on mobile railroad cars, has been firing on the Japanese consulate on the waterfront and the warships in the Whangpoo, thus passing directly over the heart of the International Settlement, including the American quarter. The Settlement was between a crossfire. Japanese artillery in the Hongkew quarter, east of Chapei and adjoining the Settlement, opened up an intermittent fire on Chapei from the North Szecechuan Road. After the explosion of two shells over the British consulate, the British began strengthening their defenses. One shell struck the quarters of the counsel in charge, A. G. N. Ogden, and another pierced the rof of the servant quarters.
Japanese Warship Is Reported Sunk
HONGKONG, Sept. 14 (U. P.)— Chinese airplanes, retaliating for Japanese coastal blockade, bombed Japanese warships in Kwangchow-Wan Bay, southwest of here, sinking one of them, it was announced today. Dispatches from Nanking, capital of the Central Chinese Government, confirmed the attack. The Government said officially that the planes had scored five direct hits and sunk one destroyer.

As Indiana’s senior Senator prepared for a six-week’s “visiting, not speaking” tour of the state, he said: “I'm going straight down the line, provoking no quarrel, but letting the chips fall where they may. I'm too old a hand to let presentday political manipulators read me out of the party I've served for 35 years.” Senator VanNuys returned to Indianapolis yesterday from a 10-day vacation in Michigan where he said “Democratic leaders from every county in the state” wrote him letters of support. / “I'm not worried about my chances for renomination. The Democratic Party is bigger than any one man in it,” he said. He said he was ousted from the organization solely because :of his opposition to the Supreme Court Bill. “My stand on that measure was true to Democratic principles,” the Senator commented. “I'll challenge my record against any of them.” His tour of the state, Senator VanNuys said is to be impromptu with as little formal speech-making as possible. It is to opén Friday at Anderson where he is to speak at a Constitution Day celebration. That is the only scheduled address on the itinerary. : He said most of the trip would be devoted to informal discussions with farm and party leaders regarding two proposed bills which are to be considered when Congress reconvenes. They are a crop control measure and the Wagner-VanNuys Anti-lynching Bill. Senator VanNuys said he hopes President Roosevelt calls a special session so the two measures can be considered unhampered = by filibustering. Regarding the possibility of a special session, he said he had been watching developments closely but so far has been unable to forecast what decision the President will make in the matter.

MIESSE URGES BOARD TO CUT CITY'S BUDGET
Boetcher Defends Proposed 1938 Levy of $1.29; Items Studied.
(Continued from Page One)
City employees’ salaries “deplorable” and asked increases. The Mayor invited the Board io cut the budget anywhere it could
the city government.”
Questions Analyzed
Before going into the budget item by item, Mr. Miesse, William Book, Chamber of Commerce executive vice president, and the Board also discussed: The County's estimate of fall tax revenue; the general fund balance, and the payment of lump sum funds to the City by the Citizens’ Gas & Coke Utility. “Mr. Miesse questioned Chief Deputy Auditor Fabian W. Biemer’s estimate of fall tax collections, saying they would be larger than Mr. Biemer estimated. Mr. Book and the Board discussed the use this year of the $270,000 general fund balance held over from last year. They then discussed the lack of.a general fund balance to be used in 1939 if the proposed 1938 budget is adopted.
Saving Is Hinted
Mr. Book suggested that 1.cent might be cut off the levy in anticipation of payment of $50,000 due the City from the Citizens’ Cas & Coke Utility in lieu of taxes. It was pointed out a slash was made in this year’s budget in anticipation of payment and that the company has failed thus far to make the $50,000 payment. No action was taken. Mr. Book declared he believed the $40,000 budgeted as the City’s share of primary election expenses is “about $4000 too much.”
When the controller's office budget was taken up, Mr. Book pointed to the Mayor's contingency fund, budgeted at $5000. He urged it be cut to $1500, this year’s appropriation. Mayor Boetcher defended the figure on grounds that a 1937 ‘law provides no additional appropriations can be made except in cases of extreme emergency. Mr. Book said he will question relief expenditures “when the time comes.” It was believed he referred to the County budget, to be taken up later. Vacancy Unfilled
As the discussion progressed, the Board vacancy created by resignation of Louis Borinstein remained unfilled. Superior Court Judges and Ggorge S. Olive were understood to have offered the post on the Tax Board to at least seven local businessmen. All declined because of conflict with business. Selection of a new member was expected to be made before noon, Mr. Olive said. County Commissioner D. W. Vorhies today charged that taxpayers who have criticized the proposed 52-cent County tax levy are “unfair.” {In a statement to be road before the County Tax Adjustment Board, Mr. Vorlties declared taxpayers have “failed to consider the amount of taxable property and increases in
the tax load when attacking the
County levy as too high.”
Ducks Cell Io re. ‘Novelty’ Merchant Freed but Told City Is Particular.
Indianapolis police today charged in Municipal Court that Louis Brandon, held on a vagrancy charge, had come here from Minneapolis for the express purpose of “pulling a fast one.” “hey fold Judge Charles Karabell that he had rented a $90 a mcnth apartment without paying for it. Then he called a nearby driig store, ordered $1.19 in merchandise and asked the boy to bring change for $10. Nothing came of it, because the driiggist was suspicious and called thi police. Brandon told the Judge he was in the novelty business. “I guess you are, all right,” Judge garabell said, “and Indianapolis doesn’t want any more of © your novelties, How soon can you be out of town?” “Right now,” Brandon said. de was approximately correct.
= — ATTORNEY IS FREED UNDER $2500 BOND

Capitol Ave., Indianapolis attorney, hac! been released today under $2500 bord following his arrest late yesterlday on a Federal Grand Jury indicimenf charging him. with embezzling pension checks from a Civil War veteran's daughter.

board, which is composed of Ray Fatout, Donald Stackhouse and Carl Kreis, contractors, and Carl Vestal, Charles Kern and Mr. Wilson, of the council, met and ruled that the plasterers were entitled to the job,
Both sides also agreed that the
{dispute has developed since then
resulting in the present strike. The arbitration board was set up last spring. Mr. Wilson said it was done on the order of National Building Trades Department in Washington with which the local organization is affiliated.
Mr. Meadows said it was done by “a handful of men who took authority in their own hands and without the sanction of the mae jority of Department officials.”
“The Council is trying to spread an internal dispute throughout the City,” he said.
Playing Waiting Game
Thomas Hutson, State Labor Commissioner, said: “We are playing a waiting game in the Division of Labor. I don’t care to make a statement about the situation at this time.”
Adolph Fritz, State Federation of Labor secretary-treasurer, said: “The controversy has not been called to my attenticn. The State Federation will take no action unless it is called in on the dispute.” A. B. Good, School City business director, said delay caused by the strike would not prove serious to local school construction. He said work was not affected apparently at the Washington High School addi tion or at School 35, Raymond St. and Madison Ave.
Mr. Good added that the School Board had not. planned to use the Irvington High School building until next September. Postmaster Adolph Seidenstickes said the strike would not affect the Federal Building addition seriously. The only handicap the strike may cause, he said, is possible discomfort, since steam pipes are not cone nected and the Federal Building has no heat. If the strike forces abandonment of that plan and cold weather arrives before a settlement is reached, discomfort may result, = Mr. Seidensticker said.
