A battle in which one Chinese troops may lock with 500,000 Japanese was expected to center at the junction of the north-to-south Tientsin-Nanking Railroad and the east-to-west Lunghai Railroad. An official statement issued at Canton asserted today that 100 Japanese, apparently bluejackets, had landed in the Chungshan district at the mouth of the Canton River. Twenty-eight Japanese airplanes raided the Canton area last night.

Chautemps Appeals For French Support

Addressing the Chamber of Deputies, M. Chautemps proclaimed his opposition to exchange control and demanded a confidence vote on monetary freedom and a balanced budget. His Finance Minister, Bonnet, had threatened to resign and the franc had fallen 14 5-16 points in New York. M. Bonnet had agreed to postpone his resignation until the result of M. Chautemps’ appeal could be known.

“award Brennan said this condition might have been avoided if school trustees . 8d made their equipment estimates a year ago and presented them to the 1937 Legislature,

Medical Center officials estimated it would take about $130,000 to furnish th ebuilding, located directly behind the Robert Long Hospital. Various difficulties have arisen since construction was started Sept. 1, 1936, trustees said. Labor disputes resulted in increased material costs. After an original PWA grant and a loan were exhausted, the State Budget Committee appropriated $70,000 to complete construction. Much work now being done in various school hospitals here was to be centralized in the building, J. B. H. Martin, Medical Center Administrator, said. “The Medical Center Executive Committee is to meet Wednesday to

DUBINSKY CRITICIZES JOHN LEWIS’ POLICY

(Another C. I. O. Story, Page 15)

NEW YORK, Jan. 13 (U. P.).— David Dubinsky, president of Inter national Ladies Garment Workers Union, third largest unit of the Committee for Industrial Organization, decided today to make public the text of the address in which he first blamed the C. I. O. for the

breakdown of peace negotiations with the American Federation of Labor, Mr. Dubinsky, who engaged in an oblique exchange with John L. Lewis yesterday, ordered the text of his speech to 1500 of his union officers early this week made public without comment, but it was considered in the nature of a further reply to Lewis, The address called on the C. I. O. to make compromises and resume the peace negotiations with the A. F. of L. It blamed the attitude of the C. I. O. for the collapse of the conferences after an acceptable basis for agreement had been worked out, and expressed criticism of “communistic efforts.” Mr. Lewis, in commenting on the address yesterday, said that Mr. Dubinsky seemed to have trouble deciding whether he was “flesh, fowl or good red herring,” a reference taken to mean Mr. Dubinsky was wavering between the progressive and conservative labor movements. Mr. Dubinsky retorted that the matter could not be dismissed flippantly, and the “laboring masses are praying and hungering for

discuss the situation,” Albert Rabb, trustee, said. “It is my understanding that the center does not need all the $130,000 immediately. “The executive committee approved the building yesterday, and the trustees are expected to give approval at their session Saturday at Bloomington, “Some equipment already has been moved in. As I understand it there may be one floor which may not be used for a time, pending a final decision as to what use is to be made of it.” The executive committee has asked to confer with the State Budget Committee at its next regular meeting, Mr. Rabb said, and Governor Townsend has been invited to attend. Date for this meeting has not been set.

Farley Predicts 30 Million Surplus

WASHINGTON, Jan, 13 (U. P), —Postmaster General Farley, whose proudest boast has been the operation of his department at a “surplus” exclusive of free mail and subsidies, expects a 30 million dollar “surplus” of this kind in 1939, the House Appropriations Committee revealed today. On Nov. 22, when First Assistant

Postmaster General W. W. Howes appeared before a subcommittee to ask approval of a 793 million dollar budget for 1939, the department expected a clear actual surplus of two million dollars despite an estimated 48 million dollars for free mail and subsidies.

Treasury, Postoffice Cuts Are Favored

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13 (U. P). —The House Appropriations Committee today reported favorably a $1,515,552,286 Treasury and Post office appropriation bill, cutting $60,826,000 from funds available for the two departments in the current fiscal year. Heeding President Roosevelt's

admonitions for economy to ‘help balance Government budgets the Committee reduced the appropriation $7,916,050 below budget estimates for the 1939 fiscal year beginning July 1.

cluded special reports from “key” industrial centers. Its findings were: 1. That the increase in unemployment which started last October began leveling off Jan. 1, 2. That approximately 100,000 men, not included in prospects for the next month and a half, already have returned to work this month. And that 50,000 more are expected to resume their jobs before end of this month, 3. That 10 of the 12 districts anticipate an improvement in employment before April. 4, That a substantial percentage of the employees in heavy manufactuding lines are on a part-time basis. 5. That many large organizations have revived the depression “spread the work” idea to provide employment for as many workers as possible. 6. That there has been little pay cutting and that payrolls have declined generally in proportion to cuts in employment and hours, 7. That some Southern. districts have been affected to a much smaller extent by the business slump than have most other areas, particularly those heavily industrialized,

Statistics Are Meager

Actual figures of total unemployed for all districts were not available, but sufficient material came from authentic sources to provide an accurate “fever-chart” of employment conditions in the various sections and the nation as a whole, Reports from the different regions when averaged on a percentage basis with the unemployment rolls of the Federal Government, indicated that approximately 1,500,000 persons lost their jobs in the last two and a half months of 1937, while about the same number had their hours of employment reduced. In the highly industrialized Federal Reserve District 7, hardest hit by the recession, the situation was reported slightly more cheerful. This district includes Indianapolis and most of Indiana.

Roosevelt Considers New Business Agency

(Copyright, 1038, by United Press) WASHINGTON, ‘Jan. 13.—President Roosevelt was understood today to be considering the feasibility of establishing a new Federal agency to facilitate co-operation between business and Government, Donald Richberg, former NRA head, and Ernest Draper, Assistant Secretary of Commerce, were said to have formulated the plan, The plan proposes: 1. To revise, strengthen and clarify antitrust laws, believed to have become obsolete, to stimulate competition and break up unhealthy monopoly. 2. To establish a new agency which would supervise and sanction specific acts of business, guiding it along flutes of adjusted production schedules.

Musick, about 75 miles south from Pago Pago, radioed he was turning back because of motor trouble. It was 7:55 when he passed over Ajua about 75 miles west of Pago Pago, on his way back. The inference was that the Clipper may have landed at sea for repairs, then have arisen again and continued its return trip. After passing Apia, Capt. Musick reported by radio at 8:27 that he was dumping his excess cargo of gasoline for a landing in Pago Pago, and expected to arrive there in a few minutes, That was the last ever heard from the plane,

At the same time, Senator Bailey praised President Roosevelt for indicating in recent conferences with prominent, industrialists that he was opening an “era of good feeling” between Government and business. Senator Minton (D. Ind.) viewed Mr. Roosevelt's conferences with business leaders as useless, “These same business leaders came down here during the Hoover Administration,” he said, “and they weren't able to do anything about the economic situation. If they couldn't do anything then when they were in sympathy with the Administration and the President was in

sympathy with them, what could you expect them to do now?”
