U. S. Marines Patrol Shanghai As Chinese Terror Spreads; 30 Now Dead in Holy Land Riots

Bombs Aimed at Japs; Franco Gives Pledge To Britain.

(Another Story and Photo, Page 13)

SHANGHAI, July 7 (U P).— United States Marines took up patrol stations in the American defense sector of the International Settlement late today while Chinese patriots spread terror in this Jap-anese-controlled city on the first anniversary of the Chinese-Japanese War. The marines were cailed out after two Japanese were assassinated in their defense sector. Several bombs were exploded, injuring numerous Chinese bystanders, As dusk approached the Marines were joined by the smartly-uni-formed Ulster Rifles of the British defense forces. The troops anticipated terrorism unequalled in the city’s history during the night. Volunteers, fearful that their property might be destroyed, joined the troops. Nearly 200, including 100 Britons and 50 Americans, turned out. Armored car units out as the terrorism spread. It reached into the heart of the international settlement. The Chinese in that district, their anger mixed with shame and Sorrow over new Japanese forays into China's interior, lowered flags to half mast. The volunteers were particularly helpful. They erected barbed-wire barricades along principal streets of the settlement to bar suspiciouslooking persons and helped keep traffic moving. In Hankow, Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek prepared to make an anniversarvy day address to the nation by radio. There were many bombings Scores of hand grenades, intended chiefly for Japanese and proJapanese Chinese, were tossed about. At least six Japanese were killed along with a “number of Chinese,” according to the police, and several Japanese sentries were wounded. The terrorism, presumably instigated by Chinese, was sporadic.

British Question Rebel Reply on Bombings

LONDON, July 7 (U. P.) —Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain disclosed in the House of Commons todav that the British Government has questioned the explanation given by the Spanish Rebels for attacks upon British ships in Spanish ports, The Rebel authorities at Burgos submitted proposals for humanizing warfare as far as possible and these will receive “careful consideration,” Mr. Chamberlain said after a conference with Sir Robert Hodgson, British agent to the Rebel Government, Sir Robert was understood to have conveyed to Mr. Chamberlain the definite assurances of Generalissimo Francisco Franco that he will not tolerate foreign intervention or

domination if the Rebels win the |

civil war. Sir Robert was reported to have given Mr portant outline of Rebel plans for the future of Spain and particularly in relation to the foreign aid which the Rebels received. It was reported that Sir Robert indicated a belief that Gen. Franco's sentiments had the support of a majority of the Spaniards fighting in the Rebel ranks. It was reported that Sir Ribert said that these Spaniards were determined that the civil war should be a fight not only for Nationalist ideals but also for the complete independence of Spain, for a country that should not be fettered by any foreign control whatever,

JEWS DEMAND NAZI REBUKE

Italian Anti-Fascists Protection of Parley On Refugees.

EVIAN, France, July 7 (U. P) — World Jewish organizations petitioned the International Refugee Conference today to protest to Germany against alleged persecution of Jews and to induce Germany to | permit emigrating Jews to take part { of their property with them, { The memorandum, sent by the | World Jewish Congress expressed | strong condemnation of Germany's policy as regards Jews. | “The conference would fail in its duty if it did not raise a firm protest against this shocking system, which tramples underfoot the fundamental principles of justice and | humanity,” said the memorandum. | Asseriing that from 200,000 to | 300,000 Jews would leave Germany and Austria in the next few years, the memorandum said: “Apart from the ethical aspect of the problem it will be practically impossible to provide shelter and | the possibility of making a new

start for hundreds of thousands of |

German Jews if they are driven

out of Germany in a state of com- |

plete destitution.” | Italians Ask Aid

A memorandum from the Jewish agency for Palestine, signed by | Chaim Weizmann, asked the conference “to emphatically protest against persecution by any country of any section of its inhabitants on | racial, religious or political grounds, particularly against a policy of physical persecution, economic ex- | termination and expulsion which ( has reached its worst forms in Germany and Austria.” Italian anti-Fascists refuged various European countries asked | the conference today for the same legal rights that may be given to refugees from Germany and Austria. In a memorandum submitted to | Myron C. Taylor, chief of the American delegation, and to nther leaders, the anti-Fascists said that { they spoke for 30,000 Italian exiles | in France alone, in addition to those | in other countries,

Belgium Accepts Plan

Mr. Taylor agreed to accept the | presidency of the conference on con- | dition that Senator Henry Bereni ger of France accept the honorary presidency. The compromise ended | a 48-hour duel of politeness in which | France and the United States sought to foist the presidency on each other, The United States plan for a per- | manent commission to aid refugees | received its first public support when Henri Defoy of Belgium told the conference that his Government accepted it.as offering a “rational | solution of the problem.” | He warned, however, that Belgitim {would not assume new commit- | ments until the whole refugee sit- | nation was clarified as Belgium, like | Great Britain and France, already | has approached “the saturation point."

Troops Ready to Enforce Martial Law in Jerusalem.

JERUSALEM, July 7 (U. P).— British troops were held in readiness today for the possible proclamation of martial law to curb Arab-Jew | rioting in which more than 30 have been killed, and nearly 100 injured in the last two days. The curfew regulations were extended both in Jerusalem and Haifa, centers of the most serious trouble. Two British warships verted under emergency Palestine in view of the grave situation. The cruiser Emerald | reached Haifa this afternoon and the 32,000-ton battle cruiser Repulse was due there tomorrow. Authorities were baffled by the necessity of guarding both the Jewish and Arab quarters by British police, because the Jews distrust the Arab police and the Arabs distrusts the Jewish police. The British officers were exhausted after 13 hours of continuous duty. The second day of terror started in Jerusalem when an Arab lemonade vendor, whose picturesque appearance has caused him to be photographed by thousands of American tourists, was killed at his stand near David's Tower by a bomb thrown into a throng of Arabs. Two women, a child and six men, all Arabs, were wounded by the bomb, which opened another day of terror. One Jew was shot dead and seven were wounded at Haifa, where one of the most serious clashes in all Jewish-Arab outbreaks occurred vesterdav, One Arab was killed and two were wounded by shots fired at an Arab taxicab in the Raanana Jewish settlement near Tel-Aviv. Dr. Ephraim Waschitz, president the Jerusalem branch of the New Zionist Organization, and Yehezkiel Steimatzky, a leader of | the Zion Revisionist Organization, were among many persens arrested in connection with the troublous conditions. Thirty persons, 24 Arabs and six | Jews, were killed and 63 Arabs and 10 Jews wounded in riots yesterday. | The most serious incident was at | Haifa where 18 Arabs and two Jews | were Killed and 60 Arabs and Jews | wounded in a fight at the municipal vegetable market.

Rebels Begin Siege Of Key to Sagunto

HENDAYE, French-Spanish Frontier, July 7 (U. P.).—Rebel forces laid siege today to the town of Nules, one of the key defenses of Sagunto on the coast, immediate objective of the insurgents in their drive on Valencia. The Rebels reported that the Loyalist lines had crumbled at both ends of a 100-mile front from Teruel to Sagunto.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

NEW DEALERS DISAGREE OVER ‘PURGE’ POLICY

Roosevelt Expected to Name Wage Law Official, Then Begin Trip.

(Continued from Page One)

though practical considerations may temper the “purge” in a few cases. The difficulty in delimiting the purge arises from the system which has been evolved for this campaign which has found, and will find, President Roosevelt not directly involved in some instances but looking naively the other way while his left hand—the inside New Deal group— goes through its maneuvers. The President feels so strongly about some Democrats who have opposed him that he will probably come out openly in a few cases. He said as much in his recent radio speech. But his openly directed blackball will not limit the range in which those around him will operate. Long ago they began to comb the field to encourage New Dealers into races, even contests for the House, to defeat incumbents who had strayed from the fold. They are quietly giving these candidates help in various ways.

Connecticut in Doubt

The President wants very much to defeat Senators George of Georgia, Smith of South Carolina and Tydings of Maryland. His unfavorable list also includes Senators Lonergan of Connecticut and McCarran of Nevada. Some of the New Deal insiders also are very unfriendly toward Senator Adams of Colorado. How far the President himself will go in these cases remains to be seen. But in most of them his agents are likely to be active. Candidates have been drawn into the field against all of them. An example of the conflict within the Administration over the extent of the “purge” is seen in Connecticut. Attorney General Cummings, aft-

| er a visit to his home state, came

back and reported—so the story goes—that it would be impossible to defeat Senator Lonergan. He advised that the whole matter be dropped. Mr. Cummings is a politician of longer experience. But the New Deal group is still active along the Connecticut front. Rep. Herman P. Koppleman (D. Conn.) visited Marvin McIntyre at the White House on the heels of reports from his state that A. F. of L. unions had bolted from William Green's recent declaration of support for Senator Lonergan and were distributing manifestos for Mr. Koppleman. The Congressman, apparently angling for White House encouragement, said he didn't know yet whether he would enter the race. Nomination is by convention, in September.

‘Roosevelt Finishes

Draft of Address

WASHINGTON, July 7 (U. P).— President Roosevelt, preparing to leave tonight on a Western tour which he may intervene in strategic primaries, cancelled afternoon engagements today to complete the final draft of the address he will deliver tomorrow at Marietta, O. Working hard to clear his desk before he departs, the Chief Executive appointed the new Maritime

lesser Federal officers. In view of the current talk of a Democratic Party “purge” of anti-

| New Deal Congressmen, the political

potentialities of the trip have attracted a newspaper retinue about double that which usually accompanies a President in other than

| campaign years.

The trip will combine a series of speaking engagements, a sea cruise in the Southern Pacific, a trip through the Panama Canal, tropical fishing in Southern Atlantic waters and stops in Southeastern states on

the last leg of the vacation tour.

The first stop and first speech will be at Marietta, O., tomorrow morning, where Mr. Roosevelt will participate in the 150th anniversary of the founding of the first settlement in the Northwest Territory. He is scheduled to speak at 8:30 a. m. (Indianapolis Time). Radio companies will broadcast the address.

Subjects Are Secret

There was no hint of the subjects Mr. Roosevelt will discuss at Marietta, or whether he will have anything to say in behalf of the candidacy of Senator Bulkley (D. 0) seeking re-election. The President in his fireside chat reserved the right, as head of the Democratic Party, to speak for liberal candidates. The Ohio primary is Aug. 9. From Marietta the President will proceed to Covington, Ky. for anpther broadcast speech at the Latonia race track at 2:30 p. m. Kentucky's Democratic voters will choose Aug. 6 whether to renominate Mr. Roosevelt's Senate Majority Leader, Senator Barkley, or name Governor Chandler as "their new Senator. Mr, Roosevelt already has indicated strong preference for Barkley, but Chandler has announced his intention to board the President's train to greet the Chief Executive. The White House said that the tentative itinerary has been sent each Governor and Senator along the route—a bare statement of expected train arrival times; that each Governor or Senator may do as he pleases about meeting the train and that no invitations have been issued. 4

Ickes Intervenes in Oklahoma Fight

WASHINGTON, July 7 (U, P).— Interior Secretary Harold L. Ickes today intervened in the Oklahoma Senatorial campaign to defend Senator Thomas against charges he was involved in irregularities in management of Indian trust estates. Secretary Ickes caatended investi

HE NEEDS REST: ‘WIFE ENDS TRIP

Condition Is Not Dangerous, His Secretary Says; Visitors Barred.

WASHINGTON, July 7 (U. P) .— Senator Borah (R. Ida.), 73-year-old anti-trust fight leader, today was under the care of a doctor and a nurse with orders to take a “come plete rest.”

Miss Cora Rubin, the Senator's

‘secretary, said he was “not danger-

ously ill.” Mrs. Borah, who was in the West visiting relatives, returned today to her husband's bedside. She was advised of his condition by telephone, when she reached Chicago yesterday. “I have talked with the doctor.” Miss Rubin said, “and he told me there was no reason why Senator Borah shouldn't be up and around in a little while. He advised a complete rest. “Senator Borah sti]l is reading his mail and the newspapers which I take to him.” No callers were permitted, however. “The Senator was very tired at the end of the session,” Miss Rubin said. “In committee, he frequently worked from 9a. m. to 6 p. m. and we could see that the strain was telling on him. “The doctor thinks that with a rest he will soon be well. not collapse, as some reports stated.” Senator Borah celebrated his 31st vear in the Senate last March.

gations by his department disclosed no connections of any sort between Senator Thomas and the management of Indian trust estates. It did reveal, Secretary Ickes said, that strict regulations laid down to protect Indian trust estates were effective and no misappropriation of Indian trusts has been disclosed.

Morgan Asks Job And Back Salary

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, July 7 (U. P.).—The Tennessee Valley authority, object of a congressional investigation, was further troubled today by Dr. Arthur E. Morgan's suit for reinstatement to the chairmanship, from which he was ousted by President Roosevelt for “contumacy.” Dr. Morgan filed his suit late yesterday, demanding both his former job and $2900 back salary, at about the same time that Senator Donahey (D. O.) arrived from Washington to preside over a joint Sen-ate-House investigation of TVA that he said would begin Monday. Dr. Morgan filed his case before Chancellor A. E. Mitchell in State Chancery Court, since his claim was for less than $3000 and therefore not a Federal Court matter. “The attempted removal of the complainant from the office as a member of the board was and is illegal and void for the reason that such removal could be accomplished only by a concurrent resolution of the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States as provided in the TVA Act, and no such resolution was passed,” the petition said. The TVA board, and the two directors, Harcourt A. Morgan and David BE. Lilienthal, were named defendants. They have until July 22 to file their answer. By that time the Cangressional Committee expects to have under way its intensive investigation of the tumultuous affairs of the New Deal power and flood control project, which were featured by bitter wrangling among Dr. Morgan and the other two directors before he was ousted. James Lawrence Fly, general TVA counsel, said today the Authority will fight the suit.

Many Are Mentioned For Wage-Hour Post

WASHINGTON, July 7 (U, P).— President Roosevelt is expected to appoint an administrator for the new Wage-Hour law today before leaving for his trip to the Pacific Coast. Despite scores of rumors, there appeared to be no favorite for the

important $10,000-a-year executive job created by the statute passed at the last session of Congress. Several persons considered acceptable to both the A. F. of L. and

any of them have Mr. Roosevelt's support. Some of them also are believed satisfactory to industrialists. Among those who have been mentioned for administrator are Don Nelson, a vice president of Sears, Roebuck & Co, and former NRA official: Miss Josephine Roche, Colorado coal operator and former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury;

EXTRA SESSION OF LEGISLATURE

Townsend Not to Ask New Office Structure in Building Plans.

Governor Townsend said today he would not recommend that the special session of the Legislature include the proposed $3,000,000 State office building in the $8,000,000 institutional building program. If arrangements are completed in time, the session is to be called for July 19, he said. Otherwise, the convening date will be July 26. State Budget Director Edward Brennen, however, said plans for the office building would be submitted to Federal authorities “as a protective measure in case the Legislature decides of its own free will to include the building in its program.” The Governor said: “I am to hold conferences with various State officers today and tomorrow. They will report on the progress that has been made in assembling the plans.” “I would prefer to call the Legislature for July 19, if we are able to do so.” 16 Stories Planned

Included in the original plans, the proposed State office building was to be 16 stories high and was to house those administrative offices now located outside the State House in various downtown buildings. Officials discussed locating this structure on the site of the present State House Annex, Senate Ave. and Market Sts. The Governor pointed out that the Legislature could include this building in the program regardless of his recommendation. Legislators from smaller communities already have expressed opposition to the plan. “I always try to see what the sentiment would be on a project of this sort,” the Governor said. “I find that in general the public thinks that many of the outside State offices are of an emergency nature, and that we would not need all this office space room in a few more years. I subscribe to this view to a certain extent.”

COUNTY'S BUDGET REQUESTS T0 GO UP

Judge Geckler Asks $5000 For Juvenile Court.

Marion County budget requests for next year will range 5 to 15 per higher than this year's ap-

dicted today. The increases in many departments will be merely up to the levels of their requests a year ago, which were cut by the Tax Adjustment Board, officials explained. Juvenile Court Judge John PF. Geckler announced an increase of $5000 in his budget request for 1938. He said it was necessary because the Legislature provided for an additional referee and because the investigation burdens have increase i due to withdrawal of five police officers from Court duty. He also said more money will be needed next year because of an increase in population, bringing the number of Court cases to a new high. County departments are to complete their budgets and submit them to County Auditor Charles Grossart within 10 days.

EXPLORERS IN RIVER

ARE REPORTED SAFE

GRAND CANYON, Ariz, July 7 (U. P.).—The National Park Service reported today receiving a radio message indicating the two women and four men floating down the Colorado River are safe. The message, park headquarters said, came from an amateur radio operator and read: “Colorado party 100 miles above Lee's Ferry.”

School dean and former NLRB chairman: John D. Biggers, Libbey-Owens-Ford Glass Co. president and director of the recently-com-pleted unemployment census; Isador Lubin, Commissioner of Labor Statistics, and Leon Henderson, WPA economist. The last two have said that they do not want the job.

Proposals to Curb Monopoly Advanced

WASHINGTON, July 7 (U, P).— Chairman Garland Ferguson of the Federal Trade Commission today presented drastic proposals for curbing big trusts to the Congressional Monopoly Investigating Committee as the Justice Department launched a separate inquiry into milk price fixing in the Chicago area. The Chicago milk inquiry will be conducted by a Federal Grand Jury. Assistant Attorney General Thurman W. Arnold said the jury will seek to determine whether a wide spread in prices paid to milk producers and prices paid by consumers is accidental or prearranged. As the Congressional-executive department monopoly investigators met for the second session, Mr. Fergukon, it was understood, presented an FTC proposal, drafted after a two-year investigation of farm implement companies, to bar companies having 10 per cent of the business of an industry from buying out competitors.

plan of seeking to oust Mr, Vandivier, Mr. Groninger said, is “just idiocy—political idiocy-—and is not within the range of possibility.”

Others Back Chairman

Several other active leaders of the party, including candidates, declined to be quoted, but privately indicated they felt the situation was just a “tempest in a teapot,” and that Mr. Vandivier had acted in the best interests of the party. The changes in personnel of the ward chairmen is expected to be discussed tonight at a meeting of candiadtes on the City and County Republican ticket, However, candidates explained that the real purpose of the meeting, which will be at Republican County headquarters, is to discuss plans for the campaign. They explained that some of the candidates met 10 days ago and at that time decided to meet again tonight. Similar meetings are scheduled every week or two between now and the November election, it was said. Mr. Vandivier is to attend tonight's meeting of candidates.

I don't anyone expects me to.” In" the three-way negotiations, which will proceed here up to the very opening of the State convene tion, Governor Townsend himself will speak for the State organiza tion, while Mr. McHale will represent the McNutt forces. Senator VanNuys, who made the trip alone, was met by Charles Kemper of the Federal Income Tax Division, Indianapolis office. “I have no statement to make,” the Senator said. “All I've got is second hand and hearsay informa tion, I'll issue a written statement some time today. I'll want to talk the whole thing over.” ‘Tll Talk With Anyone’ “Who will you talk with?” he was asked. “I'll confer with anyone they want me to confer with,” he ree plied. “By ‘they’ whom do you mean?” “The State House bunch. Of course, I'll naturally also want to confer with some old friends of mine. I've been away up there in the woods and I want to know what this is all about.” “What are you going to do now about your previous references to practices of the State House group?” he was asked. “When I have a statement to make, it will be written,” the Senator replied jovially.

‘Not Poison Ivy’

The Senator was informed that Senator Holt (D. W. Va.) had is= sued a statement warning Mr, VanNuys to beware that the “olive branch” extended by the State House was not “poison ivy.” Senator Holt had said that the Townsend group might be luring VanNuys into the state convention to defeat him and then call him a ‘‘sorehead” for not obeying mae jority rule. “1 haven't- anything to say to that,” Mr. VanNuys said. “Can we assume, Senator, that you've taken precautions in advance to see that the olive branch isn't poison ivy?” a reporter asked. “Yes,” he said, grinning. Later he mentioned that he had been lucky at fishing, having caught some bass weighing as much two pounds. He said he had no photographic evidence, however. Mrs, VanNuys and his son, Bill, remained in Michigan, he said. “Dick Heller said he had engaged a suite of rooms for you at the Claypool Hotel,” he was told. “Are you going there?” “I know nothing about that,” he said. “I'll be at the Spink-Arms Hotel.”
