After darkness had fallen,
the Japanese flagship Idzumo,
upon which Chinese bombing
planes have centered their at
tacks, left its berth in the
middle of the Whangpoo River
and moved two miles down
stream. It's place near the
Japanese consulate was taken
by the cruiser Atami, which
swept the shore with search
lights to prevent repetition of
attacks by Chinese torpedo
boats.
The night wind whipped up
the spreading fires while the
approach of midnight brought
a lull in the firing. An omi-
nous quiet descended over the
city.
During the evening, heavy
reinforcementS of Chinese
troops reached the city. Mill
tary operations were delayed
until their communications and
supplies could be consolidated.
NORTH STATION BOMBED

fled the city amid fearful scenes,

ton with the one governing hours,
which was introduced by Repre-
sentative Mary T. Norton CD of
New Jersey, who is sponsoring the
national legislation, the Commis-
sioners reported:
"The Commissioners have
been advised that national legis-

it is the opinion Of the Commis-

Miles Hnted
Van OrsdeL
Successor
BY EARL GOODWIN

Rumor in high official circles
today has it that Vincent Miles,
whose Social Security post is to
be filled by Miss Mary W. Mol
ly" Dewson, is to be appointed to
the U. S. Court Of Appeals for
the District of Columbia made va:
cant by the recent death Of
Judge Josiah Van Orsdel.
This is the third prominent
name to be mentioned for the
court post within the last few
days; others were U. S. District
Attorney Leslie C. Garnett and
H. Winship Whcatley, District At
torpey and former president Of
the D. C.. Bar Association.
Vincent Miles, born in Virginia,
married a washington girl in
1910, and has practiced law in Ar.
kansas most of the time since his
marriage. He has been active in
Democratic politics and has twice
been the Arkansas member of the
Democratic National Committee,
the most recent term being from
1920 to 1882. He had an active
war record in the A. E. F. In
Washington he lives at 1901 Idaho
Ave.
If the appointment is made or
not, the change of one active
Democrat to another on the
Social Security Board, and the
strong "huncll" that the Presls
dent is to choose a former
Arkansas lawyer-politician for
the appeals court, is making the
politicians talk today. There
has been a strong belief among
the politically minded that the
Social Security Board has not
been furnishing enough plums to
the faithful.
It is whispered that among
those who were making some
thing of fuss about this
plumless situation was Mr.. Miles
himself who apparently has not
been able to make other mem.
bers of the Social Security
Board see things the Democratic
way-all the way.

SENATE OPENS
DEBATE OVER
BLACK CHOICE
Copeland AssailI
Court Nominee
BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON

BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
G.N.S).-Debate over the con-
firmation Of Senator Hugo L.
Black, Alabama New Dealer, as a
Justice Of the Supreme Court
opened in the Senate today with
Senator Royal S. Copeland Cd
Of New York, launching a bitter
attack on the Alabaman.
Black came to the Capitol, but
refrained from visiting the floor
Of the Senate. In the office of the
Secretary of the Senate, just out
side the chamber, Democrats con-
ferred with him frequently.
Copeland brought into the open
the frequently whispered charges
of Blacks connection with the old
Ku Klux Klan. He did not charge
that Black was a member Of the
hooded order, but he did assert
that he was "a khan sympathizer, "
and he declared the rights Of re-
ligious and racial minorities would
be unsafe in Blacks hands if he
were a member Of the klan.
ASKS WITHDRAWAL.
"Oh, Mr.. President" Copeland
said at one point in his speech,
IT beg of you to withdraw this
name and send us another, that
of a New Dealer if you must, but
one free from the taint Of reli-
gious and racial prejudice"
Copeland said he had no inten-
ton of reflecting on Black as a
Senator, since a State had the
right to choose any representative
1t liked. But, he added, a Khan
sympathizer has no right to seek
O post on the Supreme Court.
Copeland called the Klan an
"un-American, un-ChriStian and
un-Godly organization"
From the time he came into
the Senate" the New Yorker
added, "Mr. Black has been a
leader against all efforts to
pass an antilynching bill.
Within two weeks, he moved to
table my own motion to add
this rider on a pending bill.
Naturally one wonders what
Mr.. Justice Black would do
we're another Scottsboro case
appealed to the Supreme Court.
Would he face such a case with
impartiality and a sincere de-
sire to do justice to Negroes?
Personally, I feel so out
ragged by this proposal to put
q Kan sympathizer upon the
bench that it is difficult to dis
cuss the matter in temperate
language"
