the weeks Morgan revelations.
Senator Arthur Robinson (Rep.,

efforts to get the floor. Finally
he demanded:
rs there to be rank favoritism
in the recognition of one senator
or another?"
He continued later:
Il should be recognized as soon
as I rise on the floor, and ask for
recognition if the chair sees me
first. That is the rule of the sem

Glass, PeCora Clash
BY THOMAS L. STOKES
limited Press Staff Cnrresnnnhent

WASHINGTON, May 27.-The
senate investigation of ]. P. Nor
gan & Co. adjourned Friday until
next week in the wake of an eX-
plosive controversy about the scope
Of revelations into the powerful
banking house.
The unexpected climax brought
the audience to it's feet just as Fer
dinand Pecora, committee counsel,
was about to reveal another list of
friends" Of j P. Morgan & Co.,
high in financial and public life, who
were "let in" on another of the now
famous stock deals.
The dramatic personal argument
was between Pecora and the fiery
Senator Carter Glass Dem, Va
who repeatedly has challenged Pc
coras searching inquiry into the
House of Morgan.
Challenged by Glass
The Virginia senator fatty de-
clared Pecora's employment never
was approved by the committee.
Glass objected that the Italian
American lawyer had not advised
the committee in advance what
facts he sought to reveal
Il did not seek this task" Pecora
shouted. Il appreciate very much
the honor and dignity of working
for a senate committee. The COM
pensation of $255 a month is no in
centive for me to continue the in
quiry."
Senator James F. Byrnes Dem.,
S. O., an administration leader,
saved the situation by suggesting
that the committee adjourn until
next Wednesday as previously ar
ranged.
Glass edged his way through the
crowd muttering:
Just like a circus"
Circus, Says Virginian
Previously, when Pecora's defense
was hailed with spirited hand
clapping from the audience, Glass
had snarled:
There it is! We've been running
a circus All we need now is pea
nuts and pink lemonade"
This clash of personalities sub
merged for the moment the revela-
lions of the day.
George w. Howard, genial preSi-
dent of the United Corporation,
Morgan holding company, admitted
his corporation controlled % or %
per cent of the electrical energy of
the United States and % per cent
of the gas properties. The United
Corporations tentacles reach into a
dozen states.
The company serves nearly half
the population of the United States,
55,272,000 persons, Howard testified.

JAPAN TAKES
Up POLICING
Shanghai BIoodshed May Be
Re-EnaCted, Belief of
Chinese Leaders.
BY HERBERT r. EKINS

PEIPING, May 27.-Fears that
the bloody, costly fighting of
Shanghai might be re-enacted here
rose in the minds of foreign military
authorities today when the Jap
anese commandant announced that
hereafter day and night patrols of
japanese troops would move
through the city.
Such patrols, the commandant
said, were necessary to protect Jap
anese subjects because of the situa-
ton arising from an attack by I'M
identified Chinese several days ago
on a Japanese sentry.
This situation, the commandant
said, still was serious because the
Chinese had failed to carry out their
promise to demilitarize the city
General Ho Ying- Ching, Chinese
minister of war, said today that
Feng Yu-Hsiang, the Christian
general, one of the most formidable
figures in China, had re-entered the
political and military scene.
Feng, Ho said, had revolted and
seized Kalgan, ITO miles northwest
of this old northern capital, be-
cause he opposed the efforts to
arrange a truce with Japan.
Foreign commandments are ap-
prehensive. Events today, they say,
parallel the situation which precip-
itated the fighting at Shanghai.
Word of the intention to patrol
the city was sent by the Japanese
commandment BY letter to other COM
mandants.
japanese legation guards at the
moment largely are taking over the
work of the Peiping police.
They forciblv enter homes, seek
ing Chinese troops, and question
even prominent persons regarding
their possible connection with the
nti-Japanese movement.
Reports of a verbal truce, an
nounced and then denied by Chi
nese authorities, remained in obscur-
ity today. Mystery surrounded

City BuzzeS With Excitement
The opening day of the fair. COM
pleted despite years of deep depres-
sion, found the city tingling with ex-
element. Streets we're gay with
flags and banners.
The day was clear and bright.
Crowds gathered early along
Swanky Michigan boulevard 10
watch the procession of high of
f1cials, foreign groups in native
costume and army and navy units,
marshaled to participate in the
opening ceremonies at Soldier Field.
A crowd of 100000 was expected
to file past the exposition gates for
the first glimpse of the modernistic,
multi-colored city of 400 buildings
built on the Lake Michigan shore.
Workmen hammered and paint
ers daubed through the night to
complete the exposition which Chi
cago hopes will attract an atend-
ance of $4,000, 900 IN five months,
and turn the tide of business
strongly toward prosperity.
Still Uncrating Displays
Not all the exhibits were ready
when the first visitor stepped
through the turnstile at $50 a. m.
But there were few veStigeS of
last minute construction apparent
as spectators started down the
spectacular vista of the avenue Of
flags, a blaze of red and yellow
banners.
In the Hall of Science, the Travel
and Transport building and the
Electrical Group - ultimate in
angular modernistic architecture
and simple, primitive colors-some
displays were still being uncrated.
Because the fairs opening was set
ahead four days in the hope Pres
ident Roosevelt might attend, about
5 per cent of the exhibitors we're
unable to rush their materials
through on time.
New Type of Exhibits
In color, design of buildings and
type of exhibits, visitors found the
Century of Progress exposition set
ting new pace, and one which it's
designers believe may we'll change
habits of life and industry in
America.
Many of the raw blocks and
stripes of color verge on the garish
by day. But at night under flood
lights and combined with neon tub
ing it was promised the exposition
would glow with rare beauty.
Each display told its story in
movement-the story of a century's
progress in science and industry.
