Healey | (Mass.), apparently was ready to go along with the bill in the weakened form in which it came from! | the House Judiciary Committee, but | | opposed the much stronger measure | which passed the Senate in April. |

Dempsey Leads Fight

Leading the fight for adoption of the legislation, Rep. John J. Demp{sey (D. N. M) predicted there would | be enough votes in the House to reinstate in the bill a section barring all administrative and supervisory officials from taking “active part in political management or in political campaigns.” This section was stricken from the measure by the House Judiciary Committee, but will be offered as an amendment by Mr. Dempsey. Senator Hatch (D. N. M.), author of the bill, has said this section, prohibiting the “packing” of national conventions by Federal officeholders, is the heart of his legislation. . Predictions today were that the fight to restore the bill to its original form would have almost solid backing from the Republican side. Rep. Joseph Martin (R. Mass.), minority leader, pledged his support to the measure anew and said it should pass because “it is an issue far above the narrow concerns of mere partisanship.”

Charges New Deal Opposed

Mr. Martin charged the bill was being opposed by New Dealers because it would “drive the political racketeers out of the work relief system, and because it would clean up the rotten scheme of political spoils which has turned our Federal | Government into a gigantic ma- | chine for New Deal propaganda and electioneering.” The bill as it came from the, Senate has been opposed by President Roosevelt and subjected to lobbying attacks by the Democratic National Committee. The House Rules Committee advanced the measure to the floor

A petition for a writ of habeas corpus was filed in Criminal Court today for Mrs. Polly Audell Arthur, who is held in the Marion County Jail on a murder charge in connection with the fatal shooting of her husband. Her attorney, Edward McEifresh, in the petition, said that her “liberty is restrained in violation of the law and she is not guilty of the crime.” A hearing on the petition will be held Monday. The 23-year-old bride- of two weeks’ was charged with murder following the death of her husband,

dicating that he had been offered a new post. Although he admitted that his Presidential boom is to continue with increasing vigor, Mr. McNutt objected to a New York Times story today which carried the headline: “McNutt in "40 Race, Third Term or No.” It was learned today that Postmaster General Farley refused vesterday to pose for pictures with Commissioner McNutt on the advice of Charles Michelson, the $25,000-a-year press agent for the Democratic National Committee. Although the “no pictures” report came directly from Isaac Gregg, Assistant Director of Information in the Postoffice Department, it was promptly denied by William J. Bray, young secretary to the Postmaster General. The upshot of the matter may be that it was Mr. Bray and not Mr. Farley who declined, it was said. At any rate, three photographers from picture services were on hand at 4:30 yesterday afternoon when Mr. McNutt was scheduled to call on Mr. Farley in the latter's office.

Photographers Get Chill

As customary, they reported first to Mr. Gregg to arrange for the pictures. He went into Mr. Farley’s office and returned with the report that Mr. Bray advised that there would be no pictures of Mr. Farley and Mr. McNutt. He added that Mr. Bray also said that the idea of checking out on the pictures came from Mr. Michelson, who was in Mr. Farley's office at the time. After Mr. McNutt, who was accompanied by Wayne Coy, came out of the conference with Mr. Farley, Mr. Bray refused to permit any questioning of the Postmaster General regarding the talk. When he learned that the reporters knew about the ruling against the pictures, he said the explanation of Mr. Gregg was all wrong. Mr. McNutt's present political swing around the capital has the appearance of being designed to establish him as an available compromise 1940 candidate if it becomes feasible for the party factions to make a deal of political expediency. But Mr. McNutt knows no more than the next man whether Mr. Roosevelt will run again. His long

he would support Mr. Roosevelt for a third term if the President desired one. As it stands, Mr. McNutt will be in a position for a while, at least, to develop his own campaign without an open break with the White House. Whether he can patch up his trouble with Mr. Farley remains to be seen and unless he can his chances in 1940 will be much less than otherwise.

BUDGET INADEQUATE, AIRPORT CHIEF SAYS

The first complaint in the 1940 budget-making season was received by the Works Board today. It came in the form of a special delivery letter from I. J. Dienhart, airport superintendent, who said that the budget the Works Board had recommended for the post was too low. The estimate was so low, according to Mr. Dienhart, that it would not “meet the barest necessities.” He asked the Board to reconsider the airport budget estimate. asserting that much of the equipment there rapidly is wearing out. The payroll item in the budget was not enough tc meet salaries, which are too low anyway, and there is need for a full-time electrician, Mr. Dienhart said. Board members would not disciose their budget estimate for the port.

JAPANESE BOMB BRITISH SHIP IN CHUNGKING RAID

Police Called to Suppress Tokyo Demonstrators on War Anniversary.

By UNITED PRESS

The Far East was the world’s sorest spot today. Activities which included damage by bombs to the British gunboat, Falcon in Chungking, present Chinese capital, and the dropping of high explosives near the home of Willys Peck, Counsellor of the United States Embassy, were the outgrowth of the celebration of the second anniversary of the war against Chinese Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek. Bombs hit within a radius of 50 feet of the Falcon, knocking off doors and breaking port windows. Waves caused by the bombs washed gasoline cans off the decks. British sailors on the Falcon manned the guns but did not fire. No one was injured.

Vigorous Protest Planned

The British Embassy planned a vigorous protest. Foreign naval authorities expressed the opinion that there was a “strong possibility” that the Japanese intentionally bombed near the Falcon, hoping to test the British attitude. Bombs fell near the British naval canteen on the south bank of the river. On shore, in addition to the bomb near the home of Counsellor Peck, another hit an old American navy canteen, on which an American flag was painted. However, the building, now Chinese-owned, was vacant. More than 60 Japanese airplanes took part in the raid.

Claim Victory Over Soviets

From Hsingking, Manchukuo, came Japanese dispatches claiming that Japanese - Manchukuans had shot down 36 Outer MongolianSoviet airplanes in two airplane battles on the Manchukuo-Outer Mongolia frontier. The ' dispatches said that two Japanese planes failed to return to their base after the last engagement with the Soviet craft and presumably were lost. In Tokyo, police were sent to guard the British Embassy against demonstrators as an Army spokesman asserted that “never before during Angle-Japanese relations has Japan borne such hatred for Britons.” In Hankow Japanese and French forces were deployed in fighting formation facing each other for half an hour today because of refusal of French authorities to permit a waranniversary parade to enter the French concession, according to Domei (Japanese) news agency.

British to Show Air Might

Meanwhile, in Europe, Great Britain and France are understood to be negotiating an agreement under which British bombing planes would make long distance training flights over France. The call for police reinforcements in Tokyo was made when hundreds of Japanese demonstrated before the Embassy building. Police acted promptly. Reinforcements were dispatched and the demonstrators were dispersed. Extra police were ordered to remain on guard and others were

KENOSHA, Wis, July 7 (U. P)— A two-year-old boy from Hammond, nd. lies dead today, his parents and three other persons seriously

injured as the result of a “freak”

auto accident yesterday. George Janos Jr., was killed when a bakery truck crashed into the car in which he was riding on Highway 45 near here. Jack Holzhauer, 23, Milwaukee, told authorities that the steering gear of his truck “froze,” causing the machine to veer to the wrong side of the road. Holzhauer was cut and bruised. George Janos Sr., 26, driver of the car, his wife, Ann, 24, and three other passengers, all of Hammond, were en rcute to Eagle River, Wis, for a vacation.

posted to prevent the approach of parades from the nearby Yasukuni shrine, crowded with worshipers on the anniversary. French Halt Parade

The trouble in Hankow arose when Japanese authorities organized a motor float parade in observance

of the war anniversary. Japanese and pro-Japanese Chinese took part. When the paraders sought to pass through the concession, French authorities halted them. More than 100 French sailors were called from gunboats in the river. They took defensive posts at the concession boundary and mounted machine guns. Japanese soldiers of the Hankow garrison were given an emergency order and turned out facing the French in full campaign kits. French and Japanese military authorities negotiated, however, and the incident was soon over, according to the dispatch.

Watch in Other Cities

Yoreign authorities in Tientsin and at Shanghai took emergency precautions to guard against disorders incident to the anniversary. Authorities of the blockaded British and French concesisons in Tientsin ordered the closing of all motion picture shows, theaters and other centers of public entertainment, At Shanghai, United States marines joined in street patrols in the international settlement. Armored cars of the civilian volunteer corps moved through the settlement. Special barriers were erected at which Chinese were searched for arms.

British Fliers Serve Notice

The disclosure of the Anglo-Brit-ish plans for a parade of might was made as a squadron of crack Royal Air force bombers prepared to leave London for Belgium on the first of a series of “courtesy visits” to friendly nations, and tc serve notice on the world that Britain’s fighting forces were now ready for action. Ten shark-nosed Wellington bombing planes made up the pioneer “courtesy visit” squadron to Belgium, They will take part in a big military display at Brussels Sunday, and return to home bases Tuesday. Five squadrons, made up of 52 spitfire and hurricane fighting planes and Blenheim, Hampden and Wellington bombers, are to fly to Paris Monday to take part in a gigantic display July 14 in celebration of Bastille Day, the French national holiday, This display will mark also France's tacit announcement that its own rearmament has hit racing pace.
