 Hawks said he, Robert E. Clem- ents, resigned secretary treasurer of the movement, and other leaders talked about the necessity for a congressional investigation many months ago. If there is anything rotten in it, we want to know," Hawks said. T should say l am disappointed in 1t. The American people should know the truth"
 A number of letters allegedly written by the Rev.

CHINESE WANT
 TOFIGHT JAPAN
Troops and Students Unite in Demands -- Japan
 Holds North China
BY EARL H. LEAF lC0nYright. l938. by United PregSl


 Peiping, China, June 1.-(UP).- Chinese troops today joined with striking students in demanding that China fight Japanese military forces which now are holding virtually all North China.
 The Chinese defiance, coming at the height of the gravest Stno- Japanese crisis since 1883, was ex- pected to precipitate 8 showdown which might result in war and overthrow Generalissimo Chiang Kaishek's Nanking government.
 Showdown Hastened
 A showdown was hastened when the officers of the 20th army, vet erans of the units under Gen. Sung Cheh- Yuan which were moved down in 1883 when Chinese fought iIl vain to keep the Japanese from penetrat- ing the great wall passes from Manchukuo, joined their men III de. manding that the Japanese evacuate their North China positions.
 Students, despite Japanese warn ings that their demonstrations would precipitate a crisis, staged anti-Japanese manifestations.

 Bessemer, Ala, June 1.--(UP).-- Striking iron miners sniping with rifles from mountain eyries defeat- ed attempts by subsidiary of Uni- ted States Steel corporation to op- crate three mines under an alleged stretch out" wage scale today.
 Hidden sharpshooters dangerously wounded two deputized company guards and kept 92 nor-union miners besieged underground in the Wenonah mine of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company.
 One negro miner was seriously wounded and two white miners, one @ union man, were slightly hurt Tn an exchange of shots at the com pany's Muscoda mine. Company of- ficials excluded everyone but police officials from the properties and m. stituted Q rigorous censorship or news.
 The Birmingham sheriff sent hastily mobilized deputies to the Wenonah mine through the night in preparation for an attempt to re- move the beleaguered miners this morning.
 Shooting began less than two hours after 2,200 men struck at the three mines, located in a moun- tain district where two years ago two men were killed, several wound ed, and the national guard mobil- ized in another strike.

QUEEN MARY DID NOT BREAK MARK
Landed in New York Har- bOr to Be Given Widest
 Kind of Welcome
BY LOUIS F. KEEMLE United Press Cable EditOr)

Aboard 8. s. Queen Mary, at the End of the Voyage, June 1-(UP)- Just short of @ record for North Atlantic speed, Great Britain's proudest ship steamed majestically into New York harbor to find 1t a bedlam of welcome today. The Queen Mary, officials aboard an- nounced officially, arrived off Am- prose lightship at 9:05 @. m, New York time. Unofi1cially we are A minutes under the record for North Atlantic passenger travel from the Cherbourg breakwater.
 Airplanes Dip In Salute
 Our welcome to port near the end of the Queen Marys maiden voyage began when airplanes scared out to seq to dip in salute above us as we passed Fire Island lightship at TAO a. m., EDT. Ambrose light- ship, where westbound records for North Atlantic records end, was sighted from the decks at $50 a. rn., New York time and passed at 9:05 8. m., EDT.
 Passengers crowding the decks and watching arplanes sweeping low were expecting dramatic last minute spurt for the blue ribbon of speed supremacy held by the French liner Normandie. But they were dis. appointed when, c few miles oil Ambrose, Commodore Sir Edgar Britten ordered the ships engines slowed to half speed.
 Long Beach was enticingly within plain view. Had we gone into the spurt we might have tied or even beaten the Normandie's record, which now must stand until the Queen Mary makes another vest ward voyage.
 Half Speed Ordered
 It was S:46 a. m. New York time, when the bridge signalled for half speed. Rockaway Beach was sighted at S:lO a. m. All preparations were completed to receivev the doctors, customs, immigratoin men, newspa- permen, guests and official welcom- CTS at quarantine.
 Certain at last after four days of hectic speculation that there was no record the passengers turned from arguments over speed and position to minute packing.
 All of the 1,So5 passengers, still not willing to believe we have failed to make a record, got out their passports for examination. One pas. senger, @ stowaway, had no passport. The 1,lO1 members of the crew

ART COLLECTION
 OF MELLON TAXED

Washington, June 1-(UP)-Gov- ernment attorneys denied in sarcas- tic terms today that Andrew w. Mellon's huge art collection iA ex- empt from taxes as charitable trust.
 Tn a reply brief filed with the board of tax appeals, they struck at the Pittsburgh flnancier's contention that the treasury was pressing ua- fairly for collection of an alleged in- come tax deficiency and fraud pen- alty of $3,076,000.
 The brief concentrated on Mel- Ions stand that his collection of paintings and other objects of art was exempt from taxes.
 It charged that the only persons benefiting from the collections were Mellon and members of his immedi- ate family.
 Tho brief, which was set forth in rebuttal form, contradicted the con- tentionS of Frank J. Hogan, Mellon'S chief counsel, who had filed Q six volume brief Q month ago.
 The brief was filed by Herman Oliphant, general counsel of the treasury, and Robert II. Jackson, as- sistant attorney general.

Washington, June 1.-(UP)-The escapades which brought Rep.

The senate wild man" avoided police as he crashed into homes of friends, forced his way past hotel employees and sped about Washington in a frantic search for Mrs. zioncheck, who walked out" on him early Saturday. Zioncheck narrowly avoided another clash with police when he left a ho- tel hurriedly after being refused per- mission to search it's rooms.
