He'd buy him a pair of shoes and take him to a 'show, he said. ‘So Mrs. Stevens took Edward to the hotel and led him to the room where his father stayed. Then she turned to leave. The door opened and Edward was snatched inside. The door slammed shut and Mrs. Stevens heard her son scream. Then the screams -stopped and there was a shot.

use outside the Western Hemisphere and price control authority. Feelers have been put out al the capitol but the President as yet has not told his House and Senate leaders what his wishes are. A recent War Department memorandum to Mr. Roosevelt on keeping National Guardsmen in active service beyond their one-year peridd has been handed to Speaker Sam Rayburn. Ask Draftees’ Reténtion Subsequently, Gen. George. C. Marshall, Chief of Staff, asked for authority to retain draftees and reserve officers, as well as guardsmen, and to permit use of troops outside the Western Hemisphere and United States possessions. Price Control Administrator Leon Henderson submitted a proposed draft of a bill which would delegate broad powers to fix prices and rents in defense areas. His office was advised to revise the proposal in consultation with the legislative drafting service.
'F. D. R. Decisions Waited
"A decision on both plans probably will await the President’s next conference with his legislative leaders. He usually meets with them each Monday. Rep. Rayburn and Senate leaders plan to confer with War Department officials on Gen. Marshall's proposal but no definite arrangements for the discussion have yet been made. Non -interventionists claim opposition is mounting in Congress. The Selective Service and Guard Mobilization Acts provide that these men are to serve for one year unless Congress. authorizes their detention for a longer period.

IU. S. WATCHING
JAPANESE SHIPS
Handling Merchant Marine ‘May Yield Clue to New Tokyo Policy.
" WASHINGTON, July 5 (U, P.).— United States officials today closely watched Japan’s handling of her merchant marine for some hint of her new foreign policy, recently re oriented in the light of the RussoGerman war. When the Japanese Supreme
Council recently announced that it had reached a decision on future policy it was said the policy would be made clear by action rather than by words. Officials are wondering whether re-adjustment of the merchant marine is the first hint of what this will be. According to reports, several “sail< ings aré being cancelled and vessels in United States ports are being called home. The State Department has been informed that two ships loaded -with chrome ore for the United States have been compelled to discharge their cargoes at Kobe and cancel their sailings. Acting Secretary of State Sumner Welles has upheld Japan's right to requisition her own ships and to leave the U. S. defense material
‘stranded on the Kobe wharves in
these two instances. But officials are keeping careful watch to make sure that no Japanese vessels loaded with U. S. materials are ordered to bring the cargo into Japanese ports for the purpose of delivering U. S. owned goods to Japan herself. Two possible explanations of Japan’s sudden interest in her merchant ship movements were put forward. One is that Japan wished to assist Germany and Italy by making a show of preparation for military action in order to keep the U. S. Fleet in the Pacific.- The other is that Japan wishes to increase her trade in other directions, free from dependence on the Western Hemisphere.
Japanese Freighter
Detained at Manila
MANILA, July 5 (U. P.). — The American neutrality patrol was reported today to have detained the 7190-ton Japanese freighter Nozima Maru in order to make sure that its cargo of 6000 tons of chrome ore, bound for the United States, does not find its way to Japan, The Nozima Maru and the 8666 ton freighter Kyusu Maru were requisitioned by the Japanese Government. The Nozima Maru was here at the time, on its way to the United States. The Kyusu Maru, with a cargo of Philippines sugar, coconut oil, hemp and chrome, was ordered into the Japanese port of IXobe while on its way to the Urited States. It was understood that the requisitioning order did not affect the cargo and it was believed than an American ship would be sent to get the cargo.

OWEN D. YOUNG IN MILK PARLEY
Zormer Industrialist Seeks ‘Solution to Strike in New York Shed.
VAN HORNESVILLE, N. Y., July 5 (U. P.).—Representatives of dairy farmers throughout the metropolitan New York milk shed met today with Owen D. Young, farmer and former industrialist, to seek a solution to the five-days old milk strike as the Eastern Milk Producers Cooperative Association, Inc., charged the conference violated anti-trust laws. Homer Rolfe, secretary of =the Sheffield Farms Co. producer combine, declined .to attend the conference on the grounds it would. be “in violation of Federal antitrust laws and persons participating in it can be indicted for combining for the purpose of controlling prices.” Mr. Young retorted that on the contrary, the purpose of the meeting was to “see whether we could find a way by united action and legal procedure to have the FederalState marketing order provide increased prices made necessary by drought.” Mr. Rolfe claimed a price of $3 per 100 pounds. demanded by the striking farmers, was unobtainable. He added that, should the strikes be successful, the “agreement would be invalidated by Leon Henderson (chief of the Federal- State pricefixing division).” -

PITTSBURGH, July 5 (U. P.).— The Wierton Steel Co. notified the National Labor Relations Board to-d d aythat it will comply in part with the recent NLRB order issued against the steel company. The company said it was offering re-employment to 10 of the 17 men ordered reinstated, but added that it would not pay back wages. President T. E. Millsop reiterated his belief the company did not receive a fair hearing from the board but said that since the employee representation plan and the Employee Security League have dissolved “there is no point in our contesting the matter further in the courts.” The representation plan and the security league were tabbed by the NLRB as “company unions” and the Weirton concern was ordered to withdraw recognition from them.

LYNN, Ind. July 5.—More than 100 male citizens of this town turned out yesterday to help tear down two buildings so that the WPA can start immediately the erection of a new $23,000 library building. That was Lynn's way of celebrating Independence Day. Armed with crowbars and hammers and all manner of carpenter tools, the citizens swarmed over the frame and the brick buildings, vacant for several years, which were on a lot the town bought for library purposes some time ago. In shifts of about a score each, they hacked at the structures with civic zeal while the womenfolk served pies and coffee and saw that the menfolk ate properly. The lumber from the frame building, which used to house a moving picture show, was stacked for possible use by the WPA as frames for concrete foundations. The bricks from the other building, which used to be a hardware store, were given to anyone who wanted them. There were ‘enough
The library is now housed in the school building. Citizens expect the WPA to begin construction of the building immediately and anticipate an early dedication ceremony.

Mr. Shaw had contended at the time of Munich that Hitler would not ake war because he could seize anything in Europe without interference from Britain rand he predicted that Hitler would not invade Russia. “Knowing the strength and ree sources of Russia, I could not believe any man with intelligence enough to lace up his own shoes could in the middle of a very tough war deliberately complete his own encirclement and make war on six fronts,” Mr. Shaw said,
