~ Expansion in Fall

Assistant Sondrary Warns Against Increases in|

Prices as Activity Expands Under Federal Government's Spending Program.

WASHING TON, Aug. 9 (U. P.).—Assistant Secretary of Commerce

Richard C. dicted today |

tterson Jr., seeing improvement in business condjtions, preat recovery would be accelerated this fall.

In an interview, he warned against price increases as business activity expands, advising business and industry instead to concentrate

on increased sales volume.

“It is apparent from our reporisé

from all parts of the country,” he

said, “that the Federal Government’s spending program has already had a good psychological effect on business. “Businessmen are coming out of their shells and are beginning to look to future business, They're getting away from the ‘day-to-day outlook. Government recovery spending to date, he said, could have had little | more than a psychological effect on| business. But, he added, its direct effects should begin to be felt in the fall when the spending. will be at a peak. | “I look for an acceleration in the rate of recovery during the fall,” he continues. “It would seem then, that employment will increase.”

Orders Seen Rising

Reports direct from various business and industrial enterprises, he said, indicate that the level of orders is above that of current production. These reports, which are confidential, reveal that, because of the excess of orders over. production, in-

dustrial concerns are drawing on their gradually diminishing inventories to meet demand. The reports also indicate that the level of consumption continues to remain well above the level of production. “One of the most interesting as-

pects of this latest so-called eco-.

nomic recessions,” Mr. Patterson said, “was the maintenance of consumption at high levels. This factor is largely responsible for the rapid scaling down of the heavy accumulation of inventories during the first six months of the year.” The marked improvement in both retail and wholesale trades during June and July, which were indicated in Commerce Department surveys, appeared to have continued into August. Echoing Mr. Patterson’s optimism, the Commerce Department’s weekly business survey of 35 key cities said: “Both retail and wholesale trade resumed their moderate upswing in most sections of the country during the week ended Aug. 3. A marked

-increase in building prospects over

a year ago, and scattered reports of increased industrial activity strengthened the encouraging business undertone.”

Railroad Employment

Totals Show Gain

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9 (U. P).— Railroad employment is improving for the first time in a year. The Interstate Commerce Com-

mission bureau of statistics announced today railway employment showed the first increase in 12 months in the period from the middle of June to the middle of July. Total employees were 929,477, compared with 914,765 in June.

ED WYNN AND WIFE SEPARATED BY AGE

NEW YORK, Aug. 9 (U. P).— What beautiful Frieda Mierse wants, she said today, is night life and gaiety, but husband Ed Wynn— well, he’s 52 and she is 27. So they're separated, the famous comedian and his second wife, and some day—after she’s had a fling or two—Frieda will think about going to Reno. It’s not that she doesn’t like Ed, not at all. “The only trouble,” she said, “is that he’s old and I'm young. It's making a wreck of me! (They have been married 14 months.) I'm tired of being suppressed and depressed.”

Lie Detector Detects ‘Fib’ By Corrigan

NEWARK, N. J, Aug. 9 (U. P.). —Douglas Corrigan, wrong - way trans-Atlantic flyer, arrived here today, from Boston aboard a commercial airliner. Wearing a Kelly Green necktie, he left Boston airport at 7:30 a. m. About 75 persons were present to see him off in Boston. Prof. William Moulton Marston, a former Harvard faculty member, reported that Corrigan is such a good liar that it’s all a lie detector can do to detect his fibs. The professor conducted lie detector tests of the wrong-way flier at a Boston .hotel last night as a feature of the dinner that climaxed a rousing reception to the young Irishman. “Did you really start for- California?” asked the professor. “Sure,” answered Corrigan, grinning broadly. Prof. Marston had to study lie detector’s graph for fully a minute before deciding that this was a fib.

Alleged wild shooting by Czech soldiers in an army. truck near Mit-tel-Langenau. 3. The injury of a score of persons in a fight between Sudeten German partisans and Communists at Saaz. 4.

Nazis Call Stabbing

Serious Incident

BERLIN, Aug. 9 (U. P.)—Nazi Party quarters today viewed the fatal stabbing of a Sudetan German Party member at Hartmanitz, Czechoslovakia, as a major incident in the German-Czeci{ crisis. The fact that the alleged assailant was an Austria refugee was only of “secondary importance,” according to information made available to the foreign press by semiofficial quarters. “Political quarters in Berlin are depressed by the new murder of a Sudeten German because this crime is looked upon as significant of the jeopardy of life to which Germans are exposed in Czechoslovakia under: the Praha regime,” the statement

said. Speak of ‘Murder’ “It is considered only of secondary importance what faction the

‘murderer in this particular case be-

longed to, as all anti-German factions equally are given an opportunity to fight against Germandom and with every criminal means.” Newspapers intensified a campaign of criticism of Czechoslovakia as a result of the new incident. Headlines called it a “Czech murder.” “The .cowardly murder of the Sudeten German flashed like a beacon light amidst a long series of Czech crimes against the Sudeten German population,” said the Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung.

25 Japanese Planes

Renew Canton Bombing CANTON, China, Aug. 9 (U. P.).— Japanese airplanes again raided this metropolis today. Late today rescue workers were still uncovering bodies in the ruins. One conservative estimate placed the dead at more than 100, but more deaths occurred hourly and it was believed that the final list would show from 200 to 300 killed. Fifteen bombers raided the city yesterday. Today, 25 planes began bombing at 9 a. m. The planes dropped many bombs on the Saikwan residential district in the western suburbs, which was crowded with thousands of refugees. Many bombs fell within 500 yards of Shameen Island which has an international settlement. A correspondent who visited the Saikwan area saw many bodies among the ruins of tenement houses. Red Cross workers removed 12 bodies within 10 minutes and many others were believed buried beneath timbers and masonry. ‘Many persons pinned beneath wreckage were dying and their cries for help could be heard above the confusion. Two of yesterday's bombs hit the main gates to the French cathedral grounds, killing at least 20 persons in the vicinity. About 60 were injured.

| Japanese Make |New Peace Proposal

TOKYO, Aug. 9 (U.P.).—A Domei News Agency dispatch from the Siberian frontier reported today that? Field Marshal. Vassily Bluecher; commander in chief of the Russian

| Far Eastern Army, had arrived to

supervise Russian Army operations. The dispatch asserted that Marshal Bluecher had arrived at Novokievsk, near the frontier and opposite Possiet Bay where Russian warships have been reported concentrated. According to the dispatch Russian troops were withdrawing from ad-

vanced positions, but fresh Russian |

troops were expected. Presumably it meant that the Russians who had been holding . front , positions were being relieved. - As the Domej dispatch arrived, | the Government started a third effort to negotiate a peaceable settlement with Russia of the dangerous clashes on the Siberia-Manchukuo-Korea frontier.

Maxim Litvinov, Russian

today sent new instructions to Ambassador Shigemitsu. That these contained new proposals was made plain by the complementary announcement that negotiations: with Russia were continuing. The Cabinet and the War Time Cabinet Council considered the frontier situation at meetings today. Activities on the onto subsided for the moment after the sanguinary hand to hand fighting yesioday, » A foreign office spokesman said that the frontier was quiet except that Russian airplanes continued reconnoitering Japanese positions.

Paris Claims Nazis Will Support Japan

PARIS, Aug. 9 (U. P.).—The newspaper Paris Soir said today that Germany had promised that she would morally “and otherwise” support Japan if the Siberian border conflict develops into war with Russia.

The newspaper said that Johannes Granf von Welczeck, German Ambassador to Paris, at a conference with Foreign Minister Georges Bonnet, confirmed that Joachim von Ribbentrop, German Foreign Minister, made the promise to Shigenori Togo, Japanese Ambassador to Berlin.

Chinese Cl

| Victories on Yangtze

SHANGHAI, Aug. 9 (U. P)— Chinese armies attacked Hwangmei and Taihu on the Hankow front today and claimed to have destroyed many Japanese warships attempting to. push up the. Yangtze River toward the provisional capital.

. Chinese press dispatches said.

both towns, about 25 miles north of the river about Kiukiang ,had been isolated. They predicted they would fall to the Chinese soon. The Chinese claimed another victory at Lion Hill, on the north bank of the river outside of Kiukiang. The Japanese were driven back and the Chinese once were established in well-fortified entrenchments on the crest, according to the dispatches. It was at Lion Hill that China’s “God of War” battalion held back the Japanese for several days before they occupied Kiukiang.

Japanese Halt Advance

The dispatches admitted that the Japanese had captured a strategic hill 17 miles west of Kiukiang and were attempting to push on to where the reorganized battalion had taken up positions 23 miles farther on.

Chinese military authorities said.

Japanese warships for some unexplained reason had begun withdrawing from Poyang Lake, south of Kiukiang, while Japanese troops in most sections were on the defensive, aparently making no effort to advance. The announcement resulted in speculation as to whether the Japanese drive on Hankow has been suspended pending clarification of the Russian-Japanese crisis on the Sibe-riani-Manchukuan frontier. Japanese authorities did not make any anouncements of the fighting.

Franco’s Troops Consolidate on Ebro

HENDAYE, French - Spanish Frontier, Aug. 9 (U. P.).—Gen. Prancisco Franco, having successfully completed the first phase of his counterofiensive on the Catalan front, was reported today to have ordered Rebel lines strengthened along the Segre and Ebro Rivers to meet any new Loyalist threat. Rebel reports said Gen. Juan ‘Yague’s Moroccans and Foreign Legionnaires were firmly entrenched on the west bank of the Ebro while Galician troops were mopping. up what was left of the Loyalist El Modesto (the Modest One) 42nd Divisien.

At ‘the same time, work on the new Loyalist fortifications before Sagunto has progressed to such an extent that most observers believed Franco's campaign against Valencia has been. delayed months.

Nine Democrats.and two Republicans are seeking the second district seat vacated by Clark.

McClellan Says Federal Employees Were Coerced

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. Aug. 9 (U. P.).—Senator Caraway, asking the support of Arkansas Democrats on the basis of her “100 per cent” New Deal record, was opposed for renomination in the party’s primary today by Rep. McClellan who told the voters that he was a friend of the New Deal, but was not and would not be a “rubber-stamp Congressman The campaign developed little that was exciting beyond McClellan’s charge that Federal employees in Arkansas had been coerced in Mrs. Caraway’s favor. This charge was investigated by the Senate Campaign Expenditures Committee. J. Rosser Venable of Little Rock, also was running for the nomination, but was not considered a contender. Democrats also were nominating candidates for state offices. Governor Bailey was opposed for renomination by R. A. Cook, a former county judge, and Dr. Walter Scott McNutt, an educator and prohibitionist. In Avkansas, the Democratic nomination is tantamount to election.

Expect Small Vote

In Nebraska Primary OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 9 (U, P)— Nebraska held its quietest primary election in years today. Less than 50 per cent of the qualified voters were expected to go to the polls. There was no senatorial seat at stake. Efforts of four Democratic and one Republican Congressmen

"to secure renominations formed the

principal part of the campaign. Governor Cochran virtually was assured of Democratic renomination to an unprecedented third term. Charles Warner, first Speaker of the unicameral Legislature, was expected to get the Republican guDe ional nomination. Democratic Congressmen seeking renomination were Henry C. Luckey, Charles F. McLaughlin, Charles G. Binderup and Harry B. Coffee. The Republican was Kar Karl Stefan.

New Campaign Wrinkles (Editorial, Ps Page oh

By THOMAS L. L. STOKES Timee Special Writer

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9—This business of getting elected United States Senator or Governor is becoming complicated with new factors, some of them patently detri-

mental to good government, a survey of recent primary contests has revealed to the Senate Campaign Expenditures Committee.

Consequently, Senator Sheppard (D. Tex), chairman, is devoting much time to analyzing the changing picture and pondering over remedies to recommend to Congress when it convenes in January.

A cursory review poses. some of the problems. In the Kentucky and Tennessee primaries, the Committee has found that WPA and other Federal agencies have been whipped into line on behalf of candidates, on one side, while state agencies.’ and Federal tered Federal agencies, and Federal supported state agencies have been called into play, on the other side. In Ohio, Governor Davey is accused by the Social Security Board of using the old-age assistance rolls, financed by the Government and oth by the State, to increase his voting strength in today’s

Republicans accuse a Democratic National Committee official of soliciting Federal civil service employees to contribute to the Democratic war chest for the November Congressional contests. Some of these are old wrinkles, some new.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9 (U. P.).— The Federal Social Security Board disclosed today that it has received charges of political discrimmination in old age assistance administration in Maine. The Board said the charges would be given immediate consideration. : PF.
