Chiang Believed to Be Planning to Destroy Tokyo Property.

Kai-shek, after the dynamiting had been postponed once. Meanwhile it was revealed that President Roosevelt and the Navy Department have asked Congress to appropriate nearly $580,000,000 for the Navy for'the next fiscal year, including $130,000,000 for new construction. The total to be asked for new construction, for operation and maintenance of the Navy next year is approximately $50,000,000 more than was appropriated for the current fiscal year. In the new construction it is generally anticipated that appropriations will be sought for the start of construction on two additional supercapital ships to strengthen “the backbone” of the U. S. fleet. These will be in addition to the Washington and the North Carolina, now building or soon to be started.
Tokyo and U. S. Stories On Panay Differ
TOKYO, Dec. 20 (U. P)—A Foreign Office spokesman admitted today that official reports said Japanese troops fired on and boarded the American gunboat Panay as it was sinking after a Japanese airplane attack. He added that it was uncertain whether the troops or the Panay fired first. It was learned that an official re-
port, received from Shanghai, said that the Panay fired on the Japanese airplanes and that its shells dropped near Japanese Army launches whose occupants thought they were the targets. Thereupon the men in the launch “replied,” the. report said, but from a distance beyond the range of their machine guns. Soon after the statement of the Foreign Office spokesman, reports circulated that Cabinet ministers were discussing with Army and Navy leaders plans for improved control of . military forces in the field. Admitting that the American and Japanese versions of the Panay attack differed, the Foreign Office spokesman said that the Government was checking back on its own reports and, by doing so, hoped to narrow the differences.

don’t understand all these political upsets over the country. Politicians are using the same methods they always did, so I guess it must be the people that are gettin’ new ideas. My Uncle Orchie ran for County Tax Assessor this year and when I asked him how he came oui, he took a little book out of his pocket and he said “Here’s the history of my campaign. I lost 1214 hours of sleep thinkin’ about it; lost two front teeth and some hair in a personal encounter; donated one cow and six sheep to county barbecues; gave away two pairs of suspenders, four calico dresses and $5 in cash; kissed 126 babies; put up four stoves; walked 4076 miles; shook hands with 9508 people and told 10,101 lies; attended 16 revivals and was baptized four times; made love fo nine widows; hugged 40 old maids; got bit by 24 dogs and lost the election by 353 votes!” (Copyright, 1937)

without passage of any of President Roosevelt's program. The decision to make an 11th hour attempt to push the housing amendments to passage was made after administration congressional leaders had spent an hour and one-half with President Roosevelt discussing the legislative program. Members of the Banking and Currency Committee said that final approval of the amendments probably would be impossible before tomorrow although an afternoon session was called to speed the work.
Senator Bulkley (DOD. 0.) who headed the housing subcommittee, said that the full committee would not be oble to make its report today. Chairman Wagner (D. N. Y.), of the Banking and Currency Com‘mittee, merely reported that “progress’ was being made on the bill.
Senate Majority: Leader Barkley (D. Ky.) said that even if a committee report is delayed until tomorrow it might be possible to obtain Senate passage plus conference action in time for final approval by both House and Senate before Thursday night.
Bulkley said the full committee eliminated a ‘“compromise” proposal from the subcommittee report which would make the contractor or builder cosign or indorse that part of the mortgage loan that exceeded 80 per cent of the appraised value of the property. The Government undersigns the first 80 per cent. With most Representaiives who are going home for the holidays already out of the Capital, Bankhead said there was no legislative program planned for the House in the remaining days of the special session. Invited to the White House today to survey wreckage of the Roosevelt special session program were: Vice President John N. Garner, Speaker John H. Bankhead, Senate Majority Leader Barkley and House Majority Leader Sam Rayburn. They were to report to Mr. Roosevelt that on seven major legislative tasks he proposed for this session, only revision of the Federal Housing Act has any prospect of enactment before adjournment. Purpose of the bill is to entice from $12,000,000,000 to $16,000,000,000 into dwelling construction in the next four or five years. Mr. Roosevelt counts that ‘legislation a bulwark against continued recession although its worth is disputed and a House minority insisted it would not precipitate the
