Workers Surge

Into Heart of Paris PARIS, April 7 (U. P.).—Singing the Communist Internationale, hundreds of workers poured into the heart of Paris tonight in a leftist demonstration against the defeat of Premier Leon Blum’s popular front governmnet. They converged on the Senate, _ where the Finance Commission earlier had rejected 25 to 6, Mr.

L Blum’s finance bill, on which the life of the Cabinet was based. An

estimated 5000 mobile guards and

police, brought from the suburbs, guarded the area. Shouting “Long live Blum” and “Caillaux (Joseph Caillaux, finance commission president) to the gallows,” the crowd swept through the streets to within a block of the Senate where police blocked their

passage. The demonstrators kept coming from the suburbs and the factory districts. They poured out of subway stations in the Latin Quarter, on the left bank. Police attempted to push them back toward the Pantheon.

Japanese 18 Miles From Rail Junction . SHANGHAI, April 7 (U. P)— Japanese reports from Peiping said today that mobile units of the Japanese forces in central China had approached within 18 miles of Hsuchow, key point in the defense of the Chinese provisional capital

at Hankow. It was the first time in weeks that the Japanese had made any progress within striking distance of the city, an important junction of the Tientsin-Pukow railroad, which runs north and south, and the Lunghai line, running west from the east coast through the heart of China. Hsuchow is approximately ~ 310 miles north of Hankow. Chinese dispatches claimed that 5000 Japanese had been trapped near Taierchwang rand that their plight = was hopeless. Airplanes sought to bring food to the Japanese, but much of the supplies; including food and machine-gun am- * yhunition, fell behind the Chniese lines. -

U. S. May Withdraw

Austria’s Trade Rights WASHINGTON, April T#U: P). Withdrawal of tariff concessions and trade favors granted Austria under reciprocal trade agreements appeared imminent today. The basis for this next step in

the development of United States’ relations with the unified Austria and Germany was made through the State Department’s formal notification that this Government has found it necessary “for all practical urposes” to accept the union o the two countries as a fact. This notice was handed to the German Foreign Office yesterday by American Ambassador Hugh R. Wilson. Coupled with the note “gecepting the change of status of Austria,” was another calling Germany's attention to the debt owed by Austria to the United States. | : The State Department also revealed that it considers its formal “acceptance” of the chan status in Austria as in no way jaffecting the policy of this Government not to recognize the legality of territory acquired by force of arms in - contravention of existing: treaties.

TLoyalist Refugees

Pour Into France HENDAYE, Franco - Spanish Frontier, April 7 (U. P.).—The Loyalist command in the Tortosa region has ordered the formation of a|“human wall” in a final desperate attempt to hold the Rebels back from the sea, a prisoner captured on the southern front said

today. In the north a new stream of refugees poured across the French border through the passes of the snow-capped Pyrenees, where a legion of between 4000 and 6000 Spanish troops, many of them suffering from wounds, was reported to be lost. ore than 700 refugeees, includi five republican staff officers, crossed into France this morning ati Cerebere. ‘additional 500 civilian refugees were expected this afternoon and 1000 tomorrow. e prisoner told Rebel officers that | massed reinforcements were hurled into the front at Tortosa by the Loyalists in an effort to hold the last few hundred square kilometers which separate Gen. Francisco Franco’s forces from the sea.

to the front along the Algas River and jon both sides of the road descending from Alfara to Roquetas on the outskirts of Tortosa. The Spanish Rebels, held at Tortosa, put additional force in a drive to take the artificial lake district north of Lerida and cut off most of Catalonia’s hydroelectric power supply. Rebel communiques reported the | Rebels within 2%; miles of Tremp, heart of the power station area. : In Barcelona, labor union leaders worked urgently to provide an emergency power supply sufficient to keep the vital industries going, on the assumption that the Rebels would cut off the Tremp supply. A new Loyalist offensive in western Spain was started southwest of Talavera de la Reina, west of Toledo.

Tokyo Admiral Shows

Concern Over U. S. Navy TOKYO, April 7 (U. P.).—A Japanese Navy spokesman said today that Japan regarded herself as defender of the Western (Asiatic) Pacific and would gravely resent any increased naval activities by other powers in the area. The statement referred directly to the United States. The spokesman

was Rear Admiral Kiyoshi Noda, Navy Information Bureau chief, and official spokesman. He expressed the Imperial Navy's “grave concern” over American naval activities, including the extension of the American Navy “frontier,” the apparent American determination to maintain a ratio of five tons of warships to each three for Japan, and the new billion-dollar American Navy program with its provisions for superbattleships Significance of the navy statement, as indicative of the feeling of Japanese leaders toward the United States and foreign powers generally, was increased by a speech of Gen. Sugiyama, War Minister, urging extraordinary efforts to increase and maintain Japan’s fighting strength, . Admiral Noda declined to reveal the exact area in which. Japan would resent “intrusion.” But he said that the idea would include all that was regarded as necessary for

Japan's defense.

In some previous campaigns, the association has conducted a runoff poll, asking Repliblican and Democratic attorneys to vote only on their choices for their party’s candidates, then submitting the two highest names for each office on both tickets to the general membership for a second “straw vote.” The association admitted nine attorneys to membership at a meeting last night. They are C. Tom Johnson, Marion E. Slocum, Thomas F. Quinn, Patrick J. Fisher, Edmond W. Hebel, Samuel E. Garrison, Edward C. Eikman, Municipal Court Judge John L. McNelis and Edwin H. Smith.

C. I. 0. Reported Back

Of New Wage-Hour Bill By HERBERT LITTLE Times Special Writer - WASHINGTON, April 7. — The new wage-hour bill, brought forth at last in a final effort to obtain some sort of legislation on the subject this yedr, contains broad con=cessions to | the low-wage South. Yet it appears to have the approval of C. I. O. leaders. : The A. F, of L. is expected to oppose the bill, but C. I. O. spokesmen were described today by inter-

ested Congressmen as anxious for passage of a measure even though

it allows lower wage rates in some They want to forestall wage cuts, and to reduce existing differentials even if they can’t abolish them entirely.

The measure as reported by a Subcommittee to the House Labor

Committee, which will take it up.

Tuesday, directs the proposed fiveman Labor Standards Board to consider seven “relevanf circumstances” in fixing minimum wages. This is where the differentials would come in. The seven considerations are: “1 The cost of living. “2. The relative cost of transportating goods from points of production to consuming markets. “3. Local ecoonmic conditions. “4, Such consideration as would be relevant in a court for the value of services’ rendered where services are rendered at the request of an employer without contract as to the amount of the wage to be paid.

Contracts Involved

“5. The wages estimated for work of like or comparable character by collective labor agreements negotiated between employers and employees by representatives of their own choosing. “6. The wages paid for work of

like or comparable character by employers who voluntarily maintain minimum-wage standards in the occupation to be subect to the order Sstabushing such minimum wages, an “7. Differences in unit costs of manufacturing occasioned by varying local natural resources, operating conditions, or other factors entering into the cost of production.” The Labor Standards Board, aided by an advisory board for each industry, would calculate the “average wage” in any occupation within an industry, on the basis of available information. Then, after hearings and conferences, it would establish a minimum wage for the occupation which would not exceed the average wage by 5 cents an hour. After one year thi§ minimum wage could be raised another 5 cents. The bill's stated aim is to reach a general level of 40 cents.

Similarly, the Board could limit

hours to 48 a week and gradually bring them down to 40. Federal Court injunctions, with criminal penalties; are authorized to enforce the Board's orders.

SYMPHONY LEADER AND MANAGER SUED

Fabien Sevitzky, Symphony Orchestra: conductor, and Franklin Miner, orchestra manager, today were named defendants in two suits asking $10,000 damages. The suits, filed in Superior Court by John L. Privett and Albert D. Mogle, charged malicious prosecution. Each suit asked $5000 damages. Reached hy The Times, Mr. Miner said: “It was a routine municipal action against persons who were passing out handbills without a permit.” Mr. Sevitzky was out of the city and could not be reached. The complaints filed today charged that on March 2, the two defendants caused the arrest of Mr. Privett and Mr. Mogle on charges of vagrancy and violation of the City handbill ordinance. The plaintiffs assert they were acquitted on the charges in Municipal Court on March 7. The complaint said 60 per cent of
