seizure of their lands.
Fernando ESpana, one of the
leaders. in the sit-down strike, was
wounded three times when a fusi-
lade of bullets was fired at him by
two Agrarians last night as he step
ped from the door of saloon in
Mexicali. He was in a Mexicali hos
pital today, In critical condition.
One of the Agrarians, both of whom
were taken into custody by Mexicali
police, remained In Jail today. Of
ficials would not admit that more
than one man was in custody. They
refused to reveal his name.
Witnesses said the Agrarians fir
ed eight or nine times at their
victim. Three bullets took effect.
The shooting climaxed a grow
ing trend marked by the recent de-
mand by Agrarians that they be
allowed to assume police and mill
tary powers in Baja California,
replacing present authorities. They
also demanded that every Agrarian
be allowed to carry firearms. No
government action has yet been
taken on the demands.
Espana was one of the leaders
of a group of small farmers, at one
time numbering 5000, who camped
in the grounds of the Palacio last
summer until the government met
their demands for security in pos
session of their land. The farmers
at that time had the support OF
labor unions.
The situation in Baja California
today was especially tense because
the Agrarian movement is financed
and has the full support of the
federal government, headed by
President Cardenas. Some observ-
ers predicted that Espana's assail-
ants would be released without
charges, precipitating possible
alliance by farmers against the
Agrarians.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3. (UP)-
Sen. William E. Borah, r., Ida,
today flayed the theory of scarcity
in the administration crop co2trol
legislation as threatening national
suicide.
In a broadside that questioned
constitutionality of the farm bill,
the Idaho senator warned the ad-
ministration that failure to face
the fact that millions do not have
sufficient food" would lead to "a
people filled with revolution"
These people are fact and
you can't ignore that reality even
if it takes every cent in the treas
ury," Borah said. He denounced
the proposed theory of restriction
as putting the farmer in a strait
jacket" as far as prices are con-
cerned.
Borah led the most dramatic at
tack during 10 days of debate on
the crop control bill and, in addi-
ton, proposed that instead of re-
ducing production the government
should buy the farm surplus and
provide for its distribution to the
needy.
The removal of the surplus from
the market would keep the price
of farm products up, he argued.

SHANGHAI, Dec. 3. (UP)-Japa-
nese troops seizing control of a
large area of the International Set
tlement ran into the determined
opposition of United States marines
today and Immediately began con-
tracing their lines.
Hot words passed between marine
and Japanese officers, and the
japanese Immediately withdrew
from that part of the United States
defense sector of the International
Settlement which they had entered
and began giving up part of the
adjoining area which they had seiz-
ed.
1t was the elimination of wild
scenes involving nationals and
troops of the United States and
Great Britain that followed the
suicide gesture of a Chinese patriot
against japanese troops engaged in
a victory parade" through the In
ternational Settlement. The Chi
nese threw a hand grenade at the
parading japanese, paid for it with
his life q few seconds later, but
touched off occurrences that for a
time threatened to have a most
serious result
Japanese troops Immediately seiz-
ed control of the area in which the
incident occurred-an area defend
ed by white Russian volunteers of
the Shanghai defense corps. They
aimed pistols at U. S. marines and
British soldiers, pushed foreigners
about with rifle butts, set up ma
chine guns.

in mutual give-and-take, until fin
ally their curiosity couldn't stand
it any longer. Said one, to an I'M

the valley duo was playing:
Tell us, why do they have all
these little flags standing up on
poles all over the place."
srhe flag she pointed to was one
that marked the cup on the green.

because they always have thrown

Leading the Detroit Red Wings in the final rush toward defense of their National League. champion ship and Stanley cup custody is 1887 hockey's highest scoring line.
 Before the season opened Jack Adams, manager of the champions, predicted this trio would steal the show.
 Lawrence Harry Aurie, right wing; 3l-year-old native of Sudbury, Ont, using his 146 pounds of aggressive ness in the Detroit lineup for the 10th consecutive season.
 Martin A. Barry, center. 30-year- old Quebec native obtained from Boston in l935, who has mitted his l95-pound frame into the line to become its play-maker
 Herbert Albert Lewis. left wing 30-year old native of Calgary, Alta, one of the leagues fastest, most elusive skaters, with his 161 pounds, playing his ninth season with De- troit.
 Aurie has led the league in SCOT ing most of the season. Barry has been tops in total assists. Lewis has been consistently among the first ten scorers.
 The three - Larry, Marty and Herbie-are the smo0thest, smart est combination in sport, according to their manager.
 There may be smarter athletes individually" Adams says. but never before have I seen three such brains on one team"
 They are the Tinker to Evers- to- Chance hockey, he believes.
 Wherever they get together, on road trips, or during practice on the home ice at Olympia arena, they are busy figuring out new plays to get the puck into the opposition's nets.
 Norm Smith, the Detroit goal- tender, ranks Barry as one of the most accurate shots in hockey and is glad the big center isn't shooting the puck his way.
 Explaining the harmony with which the high-scoring combina- tion works, Adams says: Marty knows what Larry and Herbie will

BERWYN, Md, September g.
Masons, carpenters and plasterers
putting the finishing touches on the
two-story brick school building of the
Greenbelt low-cost housing project
were the first to greet small band
of pupils who came today to register
for the Fall term.
The school, with a capacity of SOC
or more, had only six candidates fol-
instruction under nine teachers when
the first days registration was COM
pleted. Only three of them were
enrolled.
1t looked for while as if the
teachers wouldn't have any one to
enroll, because not single family
has yet moved into the Farm Security
Administration development.
The outlook changed, however, when
Mrs. L. p. Ditman of Berwyn ap-
peared on the scene, leading her g.
year-old son Joe, who is ready for
the first grade. Close behind her were
Mrs. Elmer w. Brown, Hollywood,
Md, with her son Kenneth, 6, and
Mrs. Henry Smith, Berwyn, with Mary
Kean Smith, 5, also prospective first
grade pupils.
They were greeted by Mrs. Catherine
Reed of Riverdale, who came to Green
belt as principal Of the elementary
school, after having served as super
vising principal of schools at Mount
Rainier, Cottage City and Brentwood.
The mothers presented their children
and then talked with Mrs. Reed about
their schooling. SCHOOL will not open,
