Russia agreed to establishment of the temporary troop lines wherever they might have been at midnight, whether on what Russia regards as the frontier or inside territory which Russia claims, Until last night M. Litvinov had insisted firmly that Japanese troops must withdraw from all territory which Russia claims, and that Russian troops retain their present lines. Commissar Litvinov made - this concession after Japan had made one of her own—an agreement that a commission to negotiate demarkation of the frontier should contain two Russians to two JapaneseManchukuans.
Japanese Hurry New Troops to Yangtze
SHANGHAI, Aug. 11 (U. P)— Japanese military authorities today dispatched 25,000 troops from Shanghai to the upper Yangtze River valley, where the Chinese not only had halted the campaign against Hankow but assertedly had forced the invaders back. A reliable Japanese source confirmed the troop movement, but said
.it was to reinforce columns along
the ~ Yangtze for a “powerhouse drive” on Hankow to be started about the first of next week. Two bitter battles were in progress within the outer fringe of Hankow’s defenses. They were at Hwangmei and Susung, both about 25 miles above Kiukiang, the point on the Yangtze 135 miles below Hankow, where Chinese resistance stiffened to a remarkable degree once the city was occupied. Dispatches from Hankow said the Chinese had surrounded Susung and the Japanese garrison there was threatened with .annihilation. The cordon tightened after the Chinese had repulsed all efforts of reinforcing divisions to reach the town, according to dispatches. At Hwangmei, a few miles from Susung, the fighting went on, though a foot of water covered the streets. Chinese artillery batteries took up positions on an outlying hiil and poured hundreds of shells into the town, the Chinese reporfed.
Interned Chinese Riot
Russian guards fought with more than 200 members of the Chinese “lost battalion” today in the concentration camp Shanghai’s international settlement. The uprising was quelled after three Chinese were killed and more than 100 injured. A number of Chinese prisoners were said to have escaped. The Shanghai Municipal Council ordered mobilization of several additional companies of volunteers. The riot began when Municipal Police refused the Chinese troops permission to hoist the Chinese Nationalist flag.” It was believed the
' Chinese was inspired by secret re-
ports that their comrades were waging successful battles against the Japanese in the north. :

- Northeastern Spain had repulsed
two strong counter-attacks -after crossing the Segre River between Balaguer and Lerida. The dispatches contradicted un-

U.S. and Britain
Share Pacific Isles
WASHINGTON, Aug. 11 (U. BP). —The United States and Great Britain agreed today to maintain equal aviation facilities on both Canton and Enderbury Islands in the South Pacific. The understanding—a working agreement to be put into writing later—was announced simultaneously here and in London. It does not settle title to the strategically important islands which are claimed by both Governments. 5 Although the islands are little more than coral reefs, military strategists consider them of vital importance for defense plans in the
Pacific.

AUTO REHIRING
STARTS SLOWLY)
Industry Reopens Foundries To Prepare for New 11939 Models.
DETROIT, Aug. 11 (U.P).—A gradual rehiring of workers in the
automobile’ industry was started this. week by several major producers, |
but officials indicated there would be no mass hiring for several weeks. Most of the large automobile plants arte in the midst of the change-over period, with production at its lowest point of the year, officials explained. As preparations for 1939 models are made, workers will be called back a few at a time. Foundry and steel workers will be the first to return to their jobs. General Motors Corp. revealed it had ordered a few men to regurn to work. All G. M. plants will not -be in full swing, however, until the middle of September, it was explained. Three open hearth blast furnaces have been relighted by the. Ford Motor Co. An estimated 300 men ere called back to work to tend them.
AUTHORIZE BRIDGE
NEAR HOWE SCHOOL
Park Board Grants Use of Land at Pleasant Run.
The Park Board today granted the Works Board's request for use of park land to build a permanent bridge over Pleasant Run - as an access to the new Thomas Carr Howe High School. Louis Brandt, Works Board president, said work would be started with WPA labor as soon as engineering plans are completed. The School Board recently obtained permission to build a temporary foot bridge at the site pending construction of the permanent span. Following complaints by residents of Kessler Blvd. that horseback riders were trespassing on their property, the Board ordered that “no bridle path” signs be posted on the east side of the boulevard between 38th and 40th Sts. The bridle path is on the west side between these points.

tory of the three possible to offset the Pope defeat. Thirty-six-year-old Rep. D. Worth Clark. who defeated Senator Pope, voted against the Utility Holding Company Bill “death, sentence” provision, against extension of the Reciprocal Tariff Act, against the tax bill provision for heavy rates on closely held ‘corporations, against the Reorganization Bill and to recommit the Wage-Hour Bill. Republicans voting in the Democratic primary were given credit for nominating him; he openly courted their favor and praised Senator Borah (R. Idaho). Republican National Committee Chairman John D. M. Hamilton described the results in Idaho as
“the most stunning blow the New
Deal so far has received.”
Former President Hoover saw Senator Pope's defeat as a ‘“guarantee that we will not have a rubber stamp Congress after this fall's elections.” While discouraged over the defeat of Senator Pope, New Dealers found satisfaction in renomination of Senators Bulkley and Caraway and in the defeat of Governor Davey of Ohio in Tuesday's’ primaries.
. Taft Anti-New Deal
Renomination of Governor Davey, it was feared, would have militated against the success in November of Democratic candidates in Ohio because of the public outrage provoked by numerous charges against the Davey Administration. He was regarded as an albatross around the party’s neck. ‘In selecting Robert P. Taft as Senatorial nominee, Republicans denoted their preference for an Mr. Taft, son of the ex-President, emphasized the national issue throughout by denunciation of the New Deal, while his opponent, Judge Arthur ‘Day, was less critical. Governor Clark of Idaho lost his campaign for renomination to his old foe, former Governor C. Ben Ross, by 2000 votes,

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. Aug. 11 (U. P.).—Senator Caraway, the only woman ever to be elected to the U. S. Senate, today led her nearest opponent in the Democratic primary by more than 8000 votes and appeared assured of renomination. Rep. John L. McClellan, who said
| he might ask for a recount of votes
in some counties, refused to concede
the nomination.
Returns from 2079 of the state’s 2135 precincts gave: Mrs. Caraway ... Rep. McClellan ........ 132,153 J.

The real fireworks of this climactic day in the torrid Georgia primary campaign was scheduled for Barnesville this afternoon when Mr. Roosevelt speaks at a celebration commemorating a Rural Electrification project. He was expected to speak out directly for Mr. Camp and against Senator George, who was expected to be on the platform to hear personally what the President says about him. Characterizing Mr. Roosevelt “that great and good man,” the Senator had accepted an invitation to be a member of the local welcoming committee. Mr. Roosevelt spoke here of economic conditions in the South, particularly as they bear on education.

The rugged appearance of the Chief Executive since his return from his 1100-mile fishing cruise into the Tropic Pacific pir Atlantic bore out fully the White House doctor’s diagnosis.

White House spokesmen are said to have expressed desire that Senator Copeland, never a political friend of President Roosevelt and frequently his critic, be succeeded by a chairman more in sympathy with Administration aims. Under Senate precedent, that hope will not be realized, and the chairmanship will go to Senator Bailey, who is equally unfriendly to most New Deal policies. Senator Sheppard said he was “wrapped up” in the work of the

; / THE LABOR SITUATION ~ WAGE-HOUR enforcement delayed; dispute looms. RAIL mediation -by GovernWASHINGTON, Aug. 12 (U. P). —Tom Girdler, Republic Steel Corp. board chairman, defended his company’s - la practices before the Senate Ci Liberties Committee today, demanded amendment of the
| Wagner Act and charged New Deal
policies are causing industrial turmoil.
Mr. Girdler appeared before the Gommigtes for a dramatic defense of his policies. during the period when executives of little steel rallied to his leadership in resisting last year’s C. I. O. unionization drives. He presented his version of the struggle in little steel in a lengthy
statement offered to Chairman Rob-
ert 'M. La Follette (Prog. Wis). Senator ‘La Follette, however, refused to permit him to open his testimony by reading the statement, insisting the Committees adheres to a Hie that “examination be made first.”
“At any time after that examina-
| tion, any witness will have every op-.
unity to make any statement or nti he desires,” Senator La
- Follette said.
Mr. Girdler, However, released his statement for the record. In it he ae policies have plunged the country into unprecedented inSusisial turmoil. Senate Civil Liberties i He is biased and the sup. oo. investigation appears designs to “smear Girdler and whitewash the C. 1. 0.”
Charges Coercion
3. The Steel Workers Organizing Committee was guilty of coercion and intimidation of workers dur-
ing the drive in little steel.
4. The C. 1. O. is irresponsible and led by Communists; Republie refused to sign a contract with it because its employees objected to its principles; such as a contract would have meant an ultimate closed shop and check-off system. 5. The Wagner Labor Relations Act is biased and unfair and should | m be amended. As essential amendments he proposed: (a) division of the function: of prosecutor, judge and jury now merged in the NLRB; (b) revision to permit employers as well as employees to file complaints; (c) revision to make the act conform to the Bill of Rights, especially guaranteeing employers the right of free speech in commenting on labor drives: (d) a clause protecting employees from coercion. by labor organizations as well as from employer coercion. Mr. Girdler said his company and all Amesican industry seeks a formula for industrial peace but “it is now clear to every thinking person that the whole New Deal program theoretically . designed to produce peace in industry has in fact, plunged the country into a period of unprecedented : industrial turmoil and SBE, »
Dispute Looms Over
Wage-Hour Enforcement
By HERBERT LITTLE Times Special Writer
| WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.—Presi- | dent Roosevelt, - returning to the
White House, tomorrow will face a new row within his Administration over enforcement of the WageHour Act. This law was signed June 25and Elmer F. Andrews of New York was - appointed Administrator a month ago, but nothing has been done yet toward setting up -enforcement machinery. The actual wage and hour standards become effective Oct. 24. There have been hints that the President thas - delayed action for fear that hurried activity might disturb the current business recovery, but the delay has gone so far that labor elements have begun to complain. Mr. Andrews, New York State Labor Commissioner, has finally completed most of his work on his old job, and is now expected here
Monday to take the oath of office |i
as administrator. Labor Department officials have been ‘“expecting” him similarly for the last arse ‘weeks. ajor question of policy to be de is whether Labor Secretary Perkins is to dominate the act’s administration.. Her methods and policies are well-known and disliked in most labor circles.
The chief labor complaint is that |S
the Labor. Department under her is impartial as between labor and employers, whereas, it is argued, the Commerce Department spends its time and money aiding business and the Agriculture Department is active
'| in promoting the interests of agri- |:
culture. Labor men feel that the wagehour act should be enforced enSE and they do not believe
Two Priests

. MICHIGAN CITY, Aug. 11 (U. P.) .—Two priests, who were here for a vacation, were drowned while swimming in Lake Michigan. The Rev. Fr. Roland Emyot, 35, Chicago, became exhausted while in the water yesterday and the Rev. Fr.
Norman Richards, 25, Cleveland,
went to his aid. Both sank. The
‘bodies were recovered 30 minutes
later, but efforts to revive them failed Both were members of the Fathers of the Blessed Sacrament order, which maintains a cottage at Long Beach.
SIX MISSING ON LAKE ARE SAFE
Spend Night on ght on fsiands 1" Others Rescued From Two Boats.
SANDUSKY, O., Aug. 11 (U. P). —Six men, including three ministers, returned safely to the harbor here today after they had been reported missing on Lake Erie after a storm, They said they had spent the night on Middle Sister Island when the lake became too rough for them to proceed to the mainland. Eleven other persons were rescued from a sailboat and a launch and two other small craft were driven ashore near Toledo as a result of the choppy,waves which
characterize storms on the shallowest and roughest of the Great Lakes.
Miss Perkins’ policies will bring that kind of enforcement. The act places: the new Wage-Hour Division in her department. Mr. Andrews, although he served under Miss Perkins in the New York Labor Department and succeeded her as Commissioner, is beHey to favor energetic enforcet, although he recognizes that effectiveness may depend greatly upon active co-operation of state officials.
Government Starts Rail Wage Mediation CHICAGO, Aug. 11’ (U. P.).—The Government today began its effort to compromise the demands of the railroads for a 15 per cent wage reduction and the assertions of the railroad workers’ brotherhoods that they will strike before submitting. Dr. William M. Leiserson, National Mediation Board chairman, met
first with the Carriers’ Joint Con- | Proposed
ference Committee. He planned to see the labor spokesmen later. Mr. Leiserson was accompanied by the other members of the Board, George A. Cook and Otto S. Beyer. In direct negotiations during the past three weeks between the rail-
*| roads and brotherhoods representing
the employees, union leaders have stood on counter-demands that the carriers reduce their overburdening capital structures instead of reducing payrolls. They said they would take a vote for a nation-wide strike rather than agree to a cut. Officials in Washington said the situation is the “biggest job” the Mediation Board has faced during its 18-year history. The Board has been successful in averting every threatened nation-wide railroad strike since the shopmen’s walkout in 1932. Last year Dr. Leiserson, single-handed brought the roads and brotherhoods together on a compromise which increases wages 8 per cent.

ITY TAX BOOST
People Should Organics to Demand Discreet Spending, Miesse Says.
(Editorial, Page 14)
Belief that the proposed 1939 Civil City budget can be financed with a levy increase of only 7 cents, instead of the threatened 13 to 17 cents boost, was voiced today by civic leaders who are studying city finances. Spokesmen for civic groups dee clared that fund balances and ane | ticipated revenue from sources other | than the property tax, probably will be substantially greater than | estimates of city officials. They also | expressed belief next year’s assessed | valuation will be somewhat higher | than the 1938 valuation. i
Miesse Assails New Items
taxpa are unable to stand further ine creases in the present high rates. “Ciovernment officials aren't give ing home owners any thought,” he said. “The people have got to ore ganize and demand that the various
~| taxing units get along on as little
as they can.” | Pointing to City and County budget increases proposed for new items, Mr. Miesse commented that apparently no effort was being made to keep the budget within Treason able bounds. City Controller H. Nathan Swaim said he would not have a definite idea of the possible city levy required to finance the budget until city accountants complete their. check of balances. Estimates 11-Cént Rise He added that he is making an effort to avoid asking a levy ine crease of more than 10% or 11 cents, but doubted that the necessary ine crease would run much lower than that figure, and might be higher. The 1938 Civil City property tax levy is $1.2522. The proposed 1939 City budget totals $8,129,856.08, an increase of $202,740.51 over the 1938 budget of $7.837,115.517. City officials have indicated a dee crease of possibly $350,000 to $400<
‘000 in nonproperty tax revenue
available in 1939, compared with the 1938 revenue estimate. On this basis, to meet the proposed 1938 budget expenditures, the City would have to have an estimated $642,000 to $692,000 more than was raised from the property tax for 1938, it was explained. The civic leaders said they were making a careful study of all items in the budget in the hope of eliminating some and thus further ree duce the probable increase in the levy required. They indicated that when the City . Council begins its study of the budget proposals Monday, they would demand information on the WPA projects for which a $175308 fund for materials is asked. Fallowing its. adoption by the Council, the proposed budget will be reviewed by the Marion Ccunty Tax Adjustment Board, starting Sept. 19. One membership on the board remains to be filled through appointment by County judges.
