mended by President Roosevelt.
Both Senator Norris Cd Of
Nebraska, father Of iva, and
Representative Mansfield CD Of

approval Of the Senate and House
bills. Norris declared:
But there will be no attempt
to limit tho expression Of the

President for all parties con-
cerned must be given . chance

CLARK STEPS ASIDE
Norris expressed qualification
when Senator Clark Cd Of Mis-
souri,, informed him he would with
draw Monday motion before the
Senate to send the bill to the
Commerce Committee where other
flood-control measures were con-
Sidered.
Norris argued in the Senate that
although flood-control constitutes
one Of the main provisions Of the
bill it is principally designed to
benefit agriculture as a whole and
that it should be referred to the
Agriculture Committee.
In the House, Representative
Mansfield was successful in steer.
ing a similar bill to his Rivers and
Harbors Committee. An attempt
was made by Representative Whit
tington CD Of Mississippi, tc
send it to the Flood Control Com
mittee.
A fight doomed over provisions
in the House bill, which would
give the Federal power commits
sion broad powers over rate con
troll Of the proposed seven power
projects similar to IVA. The Sen
ate bill would leave the question
of power rates to the individual

Norris is expected to make 9
vigorous fight against the HOUSE
provisions on the ground that the
long-range program might bt
jeopardized if a "reactionary com
mission were to gain control"

 Harold Bixby, St. Louis, vice. chairman of Pan American Airways, announced today that he was grounding all American pilots to the China National Aviation Cor poration, which the Chinese govern ment and Pan American own joint ly.
 It was estimated tonight that l2,- 800 foreign refugees had left the city so far.
 Gravest anxiety was felt for Edouard Juvet and his niece, Miss Rose Juvet, leading members of the Swiss community. They had been missing for 27 hours since they went to the Hongkow area. to visit a point that tonight was an inferno of flame and inspect a warehouse.
 A police rescue party, sent to search for them, was unable to ap- proach within 500 yards of the ware- house because of bullets flying be-. tween Chinese and Japanese. The warehouse itself was not yet afiame but 1t was in imminent danger.
 Miss Juvet's father Is acting Swiss consul.
 Japan Admits Killed
 Japanese admitted at least 100 killed and 120 wounded in . fight that was getting more bitter with each hour. Chinese made no esti. mate of casualties. To estimate the total casualties, in fighting all around the international settlement, was impossible.
 By night the Chinese had thrust a dangerous salient into the Hong- kew section, and 1t was the job of the Japanese to eliminate 1t.
 Since midnight last night the Chinese had been blasting their way into Hongkew.

 T was about to go on watch when something hit the deck and dived down hatch. I didn't feel any, thing but later found that my hand was bleeding. I helped to carry in other wounded"
 ct was indicated that this man may have been the 18th man hit by shell fragments. The original navy list gave IT wounded and so per- haps this mans hurt was not con- sidered officially a wound.)
 One wounded man owes his life to the fact that he fell into the arms of a ship surgeon. Blood was spouting from an artery in his arm. The surgeon pushed his fist into the wound and halted the blood flow. He called nearby unwounded sea- man to help him press on the ar- tery while assistants came running with tourniquet.
 Today an aviation expert was perched high up in the Augusta's s superstructure spotting airplanes. Every time a plane came near, he gave the alarm and all hands went below.

 Guffey Makes Attack
 Sen. Joseph P. Guffey, D., Pa, too led discord in the harmony chor- us last night in a nationally broad cast speech in which he assailed Sen. Burton K. Wheeler, D., Mont, Sen. Joseph c. O'Mahoney, D., Wyo., and Sen. Edward R. Burke, D., Neb., for opposing MT. Roosevelt's su- preme court proposals.
 Out of the capital by sundown,' is the promise now to heat-harried legislators at the end of this ses- sion of 229 days.
 President Roosevelt was believed to be considering the November session of Congress to confront leg islators again with much of the business they so far have refused to transact at his request.
 One Bill Remains
 One bill remains to be passed by the house before Congress can go home and there are two conference reports on further advanced legis- lation to be disposed of today. The conference reports deal with the low-cost housing bill and the $13s,- 100000 third deficiency. appropria- ton. The House probably will act today on the unemployment census bill, amending 1t to provide for quick and comparatively inexpen- sive voluntary self.registration.
 Junked for this session are su- preme court reorganization, wage and hours legislation, crop surplus control, crop insurance, the region- al planning and control bill for wa- ter power and other resources, and the bill to authorize Mir. Roosevelt to reorganize the executive depart rnents.
 Mir. Roosevelts program may fairly be said to have Jailed in a major way at this session and with in less than year of the extra ordinary l936 election in which he carried every state except Maine and Vermont.
