Gov. Cross Pays Tribute To State Over Constitution

Delegates to the constitutional convention. he said, as result of frank debate, free from publica- ton. felt free to shift from one position to another. The great ma jority, defying consistency, did not hesitate to yield finally to the weight of debate"
 Except for the presence of Ben- jamin Franklin, who was 81, the governor said. the average age of the constitutional convention represen- tatives would have been fifty-flve.
 Tn those times, he said, "they looked upon men above sixty years as old men. Thanks to medical sci- eflce and better mode of living, law and custom now comedies that men may 90 on to seventy with no serious impairment of judgment or other intellectual processes. Sev- eiity now appears to be regarded as the zero hour. It Is of course admit ted that there are enough excep- tons up and down to prove the rule"
 The governor, now in his 7eth year and serving his fourth term. is opposed to persons more than 70 years holding appointive once.
 On the occasio riof his 7Bth birth- day anniversary April 10, he said, If ( man, over 70, is elected, the burden is on the public. not on the man elected" " ~

 Shanghai, Sept. 17.-(UP)-Chi- nese, seizing advantage of heavy rains that immobilzed Japanese air. planes and tanks, attacked fero- ciously at key points all along the Shanghai front today.
 Infantry, dare to die" units and big sword men smashed at the Jap- anese lines in the Lotien, Liuhang and Aikuo sectors. Reports from the front told of savage hand to hand fighting. in which the Japanese, re- sisting stoutly, called for reinforce ments.
 The Chinese continued their grad ual withdrawal to new defense line. But it had become evident that their retreat was a planned one, as they asserted, for the movement of the scores of thousands of men involved seemed effected with clocklike pre- cision and rear guards challenged the Japanese at point after point.
 Exact definition of the present front was impossible because of the contradiction of reports from the Japanese and Chinese headquarters. For instance, both Chinese and Jap- anese claimed the town of Lotien and each side insisted that the other held Kiangwan and the information al race course near 1t.

Washington, Sept. N.-(UP). The controversy resulting from a newspaper expose" alleging that IStereHae Court Justlre Hugo l.. Black Is a life member of the Ku Kllx Klan was extended today. Sem ator Burton K. Wheeler, D., Mont, demanded that President Roosevelt appoint an impartial board" to in- vestigate.
 Wheeler, who directed the success full campaign against the presi- dents supreme court enlargement proposal declared that if MT. Roose- welt failed to act, "the senate should do so.''
 If the charges made are true, the president should ask for his (Black's) resignation" he said in b statement telegraphed to Wash- ington from Fargo, N. D.
 Wheeler said he withheld his vote when the senate confirmed Blacks nomination, because there had been no denial of 8 charge made in the senate that Black was klansman.
 Bankhead No Klansman . The controversy had spread earlier among members of the House of Representatives, and to Speaker William H. Bankhead, who declared at his Jasper, Ala, home:
 T have never belonged to the Ku Klux Klan. I never was invited to join. That is that"
 Bankhead's statement was re- ply to Rep. Hamilton Fish, R., New York, who had said that If klan afflliations are to be a test of of- flee, 1t might be well to find out the status of the speaker of the house, who, like Black, halls from Alabama"
