The din was terrific as Mr. Corrigan moved up the street between throngs which overflowed at intersections back on to side streets and were massed a dozen-deep elsewhere. The Irishman made a completely satisfying hero. To shouts of “Yeah Corri-g-an” he responded with hearty flips*of the good right hand which kept his frail and overloaded craft straight on the “backward” flight to Dublin, and never once did he turn off his famous grin. His shoulders were shrouded with ticker tape and “telephone book confetti” which obscured the sun. At City Hall hundreds of police kept the growds back while Mayor LaGuardia gave him a “hero’s greeting. ”» “Douglas Corrigan,” the Mayor shouted, “Congratulations and welcome back.” “Thanks, Mr. Mayor,” the flier replied. “I've had lots of luck and the best part of my luck is the luck: I'm having right now.” Mr. Corrigan was perspiring but still smiling as he posed on ‘the City

the situation as it existed before July 11 should be restored—that is, that Russian troops should with~ draw from the hill area. This Litvinov vigorously rejected. In turn he demanded that before there be any negotiations the Japanese retire to the lines which they occupied before they attacked the Russians July 29. Until the last Japanese soldier left” the last bit of Russian soil, Litvinov said, Russian would reserve its freedom of action.
TOKYO, Aug. 5 (U.P) —An ar-
tillery battle broke out on the Si-:
beria-Korea-Manchukuo frontier today as Japan sought to initiate diplomatie negotiations with Russia to settle the border dispute peaceably. Russian artillery opened a bombardment of the Changkufeng area at 5:43 a. m. today, a foreign office spokesman said, and Japanese artillery then opened up in reply. It was indicated that the exchange
was proceeding still this afternoon.
Kensuke Horinouchi, Vice Foreign Minister, .at once made a. ‘strong protest, against the Russian” bom-
the Russian C faires, the spokesman said.
.- Before news reached here" ‘of the new outbreak, the Foreign Office’
spokesman had disclosed that Horinouchi yesterday made the same proposal to Smetanin as those made by Japanese Ambassador Mamoru Shigemithu to Maxim Litvinov, Russian Foreign Commissar at Moscow. This involved evacuation of disputed frontier territory by both sides: The spokesman said that the Japanese Government considered that a bilateral withdrawal, that is a withdrawal by both sides, was a necessary preliminary to a settlement. Ambassador Shigemitsu’s report began reaching the Foreign Office this afterncon. The sections of it were decoded and distributed to high officials as they arrived. The Foreign Office spokesman said that Shigmitsu’s proposals had not been rejected outright by Litvinov, and that the Foreign - Office still hoped there would be further negotiations., He said that officials were not yet familiar with the report as a whole.
10,000 ‘Loyalists Defeat 40,000 Rebels
HENDAYE, French-Spanish Frontier, Aug. 5 (U. P.).—Loyalist forces, their 12-day offensive along the Ebro River Valley stalled by. tenacious Rebel resistance and coun-
ter-campaign, opened new attacks
today in the rough mountainous country west of Teruel. Teruel itself, a battle-scarred city
| which changed hands twice during | the closing days of 1937, might be
seriously menaced if the Loyalist
campaign gains momentum.
Loyalist dispatches said - 10,000 Government troops defeated 40,000 insurgent troops in the country west of Albarracin, which is considered one of the keys to Teruel. The Loyalist attacked and oc-
cupied the important village of Vil-|
lar’ Del Cobo; 13 miles west of Albarracin, giving them an important starting t for any future attack on Tt western flank. Insurgent Generalissimo Francis co Franco was forced to withdraw
‘thousands of men from his cam-
paign on ‘Sagunto and Valencia in the south to meet the new Loyalist threat near Teruel. . Gen. Jose Miaja, commander-in-chief using his 10,000 troops judiciously has been

seen by Germany and Italy, also the unbending steel in the famous Berlin-Rome axis, are revealed today exclusively by Greenwich Time, in a document purporting to have been sent by Mussilini to his ambassadors in London, Paris and Washington. ~ “This document, labeled ‘secret instructions,’ is signed ‘Sebastianis,’ the name belonging of one of the closest collaborators on the staff of the Italian dictator. ‘Excerpts from the text of the alleged document, as printed by Greenwich time, included the following statements: “The untenability of the international situation requires. the speediest solution. Contrary to expectation, it developed that no concrete hope can be built on Japan as a partner. The plan is therefore to be principally restricted to Europe and Africa. . . “Tt is therefore necessary to translate the force of the axis which has found, in May of this year, its renewed, solemn expression, into real
| political need.”
‘The. document said that even the London nonintervention-plan”
accepted, it will not affect the war
in’ Spain, because the proposed a: for withdrawing foreign forces is spread over so long a period that “by that time, the last phase of the war must be decided.” Italy and Germany, it declared, must be prepared to continue their activi in. ‘Spain and increase their orces. -
Czech Flight Bri Brings German Threats
' BERLIN, Aug. 5 (U. P) —Newspapers intimated today that Germany might be forced to fire on Czech military planes which cross the frontier illegally. Comment on the most recent incident, the admitted violation of the frontier by three Czech planes, was so similar that it was viewed in foreign quarters as having been inspired. The general sense of articles was that German patience had reached its-end and that therefore Germany might follow the example of France on her Spanish frontier, and arm the Czechoslovak frontier with antiaircraft guns. “Praha’s excuse is not sufficient, ry said the Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung. “She will have {0 reckon with German antiaircrafs guns if the violations are repeated.”

At Jackson, former Sheriff Lee Combs, 36, was dead today, the victim of a wild shooting affray between Barkley and Chandler supporters. Combs’ brother, Lewis, 33, Governor Chandler’s campaign manager in Breathitt County, and Sheriff Wal-
ter Deaton, Barkley supporter, were
wounded. ‘William Combs, 33, Senator Barkley’s county campaign manager and the city jailer, was sought for the slaying. -He is not a relative of the Combs brothers.

father of the brothers, had sum-
moned his kinfolk when he learned of the shooting. A dozen strong, they were roaming the countryside searching for William Combs. ~~ . It was the first major outbreak of violence in the campaign. . Governor Chandler has not known defeat at the polls, He campaigned aaginst Senator Barkley, backed fully by powerful New Deal resources, when wise politicians said his cause was hopeless. Both candidates have campaigned tirelessly. They have crossed and recrossed the state, speaking in almost every city and hamlet. :
Haswell G. O. P. Favorite
Senator Barkley chose to dwell on the fact that he is a 100 per.cent New Dealer. He chided Governor Chandler for being lukewarm to the President and accused him of “reactionary Republican talk.” ‘Governor Chandler sarcastically remarked time after time that Senator Barkley was “trying to ride back into the Senate on the President’s coattails.” He referred to Senator Barkley as “Dear Alben.” Mr. Chandler pointed to his record as Governor, which includes a balanced budget and sales tax repeal. John P. Haswell of Hardingsburg is favored to win the Republican Senatorial nomination.
Sheppard Blazing New Campion Probe Trail.
- By THOMAS L. STOKES Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.—Senator Morris Sheppard (D. Tex.), chairman of the Senate Campaign EXpenditures Committee, is blazing a new trail, pioneering in effect, in seeking the whole truth about primary and election campaign expenditures of 1938 and the various pressures ‘and influences brought to bear through Federal and state agencies. It is evident that toes of some important Democrats are. going to be stepped on in the process, if the Texas Senator carries ‘through in the energetic manner in which he has started—and he seems determined. No campaign committee in recent years has demonstrated the thoroughness of Senator Sheppard's committee and he is the mainspring, remaining here at his office directing the corps of investigators. His first brush, which was with Republicans, is likely to be followed by conflicts with Demacrats in’ view of his announced policy.
Sets Important Precedent
He is requiring two Republican senatorial candidates in Ohio, Robert A. Taft and Judge Arthur H. Day, to submit to the Committee by Sunday lists of conrtibutions and expenditures to separate campaign committees set up for their campaigns, beyond the personal cxpenditure reports already submitted. Campaign committees, at!least in recent years, have not customarily gone beyond the 1 reports of senatorial candidates te inquire into the numerous local committees set up on behalf of candidates and through which, in some cases, large sums have been spent which never were brought to public notice. This is an often-used dodge Mr, Taft, in aig his questionnaire, said he did not understand that legally constituted state
committees were included, but was
promptly informed by Mr. Sheppard that they were. This sets an important precedent and Senator Sheppard said it would
to- | be applied generally. It is known
that . such . committees, as well as others of various local designation, are ‘operating in most states. Senator Sheppard said it was his intention to ask these men, as well
‘as other candidates, to submit the
names and location of such committees and then require the committees to send in financial reports.

RAIL ELEVATION ‘HEARING IS SET
Board to Hear Objections Aug. 17; Moves to Curb Pollution.
The Works Board today set Aug. 17 for hearing remonstrances against the proposed $3,085,000 South Side track elevation. The Board also gpproved a resolution directing construction of two primary settling tanks and a pump house at the sewage disposal plant to prevent further pollution of streams. City Engineer Henry B. Steeg was ordered: to prepare plans for resurfacing and removing car tracks on S. Meridian St., from Maryland St. to Jackson Place at the Union Station. : Parties, interested in the track elevation project, under Indiana law, must be given an opportunity to protest the improvement before ihe Board can proceed with it. The Board twice will advertise its resolution calling for track elevation before the hearing is held.
Railroads Must Pay 50 Per Cent’ At the hearing, South Side resi-
dents, the .I lis. Union and the Bodie and Te County Commissioners may: discuss the elevation plan. Under the statute, if the project is approved, the railroads must pay 50 per cent of the’cost, the County 16 per cent and the. City 34 per cent. ; No track elevation tax levy has been included in the 1939 -budget, Mayor Boetcher said. In the resolution approving the $46,125 sewage plant project, the Board said “unless the addition is "constructed, pollution of streams due to dumping of raw sewage, may ensue, and the disposal plant can not operate -at its fullest efficiency.”
4 OFFICERS SOAKED IN HUNT FOR $300
Four Indianapolis policemen showetl up at headquarters this morning wet to the skin and slightly discouraged after a three-hour search through shoulder-tall weeds for $300. Patrolmen Bernard Miller and Elmer: Thompson stopped an auto and three of its four occupants escaped through a field on S. Harding St. near Minnesota.
