TIGHTEN RULE OVER COMMERCE BARRIERS

WASHINGTON, May 26 (U. P.). ~The house judiciary committee

voted .9 to 3 today to amend the anti-racketeering act so that its provisions against coercive interference with interstate commerce will apply to any person or group, including labor unions. Rep. Sam Hobbs (D. Ala.), author of the measure, said it was intended {o “repeal” a recent supreme court decision holding that labor unions do not fall within the scope of the anti-racketeering law ‘which was enacted in- 1934. : The original act was designed to put a stop to such racketeering practices as the extortion of protection money from businesses and the use of coercion to rent, sell or buy property. Rep. Hobbs’ amendment would prohibit any obstruction of com-

merce by “robbery or extortion.”

New Threats Developing Two of the four main Japanese columns which. moved south from their base in northern Chekiang had succeeded in moving close to Kinhwa within the past 10 days, a spokesman said. : New threats are developing in other Chinese areas, he warned. He revealed that the. Japanese had concentrated a large number of troop transports, warships and aircraft cariers around Formosa island across the Taiwan strait from Foochow, possibly for a large-scale invasion of Fukien province in the near future. The Japanese also have landed additional mechanized units in Indo-China, but there were no ines dications whether an invasion of Yunnan province from the south would be pressed. The spokesman, P. 8. Foo, emphasized that the military situation still was “very grave,” and said military leaders were hoping that in view of fierce battles expected in Chekiang and Fukien provinces, China’s allies would send planes immediately. Foo said it also was hoped that
