 The Central government at Nan king debated whether to reject Sung's resignation and rush sup port of the Central government army or let Chang, an avowed friend of the Japanese, work out peaceful settlement.
 Fighting continued along the walls of the city and Americans and other foreigners in the Lega- ton Quarter were ordered to re- main within the shelter of its sand -ba gged walls.

The Chinese command apologized, ex- blaming the soldiers believed ii was Japanese detachment.
 Both sides claimed victory in the bitter fighting south of Peip- ing within a few hundred yards of the walled city.

Seek Unemployed Count

EOR four years congress has
failed to order any serious at
tempt at finding out just how seri-
Gus the unemployment problem is.
Now the senate has passed a bill,
sponsored by Hugo D. Black Dem..
Ala.). which directs the President,
with funds from the 1887 relief ap-
preparation, to order a census of the
unemployed and partially unem-
ployed on or before April l, 1888.
Senators Byrnes, Lodge, Clark and
others objected that the bill was
inadequate, but permitted its pas
sage on the unanimous consent cal
endar.
What will be included in the ques-
tionnaire is. under the terms of the
Black measure, to be determined by
the secretary Of commerce, the sec
retary of labor, the Works Progress
administrator, the chairman of the
social security board, the chairman
of the central statistical board and
the director of the census.
Harry L. Hopkins repeatedly has
told the President that an unem-
ployment census would be useless.
Administration opponents have
charged that he only wished to exag-
gerate the unemployment problem.

U. S. Keeps Naval Pace
were that

INDICATIONS were that both the
L United States and Great Britain
would embark upon unusually large
peacetime naval building programs
in 1888.
Britain, according to reports in
London. will lay the keels for from
three to five battleships, six or
seven cruisers and a proportionate
quota Of destroyers, submarines and
smaller craft, to surpass the 1887
total of 664,0O0 tons, peacetime
record. 1t was also reported that
personnel would be increased ulti-
mately by $4,000.
With the placing of additional 1887
contracts, Britain will soon have 110
vessels under construction.
Admiral William D. Leahy, chief
of American naval operations and
acting secretary of Uncle Sans
navy, said in Washington that con-
gress will be asked to provide funds
for the construction of two battle
ships and two cruisers in the 1888
fiscal year. The admiral inferred
in a press conference that the
United States expects to keep pace
with other nations which are plan
ming extensive naval building. The
four new ships will cost $170, 900, 900
and will be ready in 1912. Construc-
ton is about to begin on two other
battleships, which will cost approx.
imately $60,000.000.

New York's Share Cut
CENATOR ROBERT F.

CENATOR ROBERT f. WAC
~ NER'S (Dem., N. W S726.000,-
900 housing bill was passed by the
senate. "a to 16, but the senator
scarcely recognized it when his fell
lows were done with it.
Senator Wagner and other admin
istration leaders struggled frantical-
" to defeat an amendment by Har-
ry F. Byrd (Dem., Va) limiting the
cost of housing projects to $1,000 a
room or $4,000 family unit. Result
of the struggle: The upper house,
which originally passed the amend
ment 40 to 80, defeated motion TO
reconsider by Al to 39.
The bill originally called for ex-
penditures up to 800 a room or
$1,000 a family unit. Opponents
conceded that the Byrd amendment
would prohibit the building of the
type of houses Senator Wagner had
in mind in New York City. but con-
tended that $4,000 was enough to
spend for housing one family. Per-
sons of extremely low income could
not pay the rent anyway, they ar
gued.
Some senators charged that the
Wagner bill was designed to afford
the bulk of the housing appropria-
ton to New York This was pre-
vented by the adoption of an amend
ment by Millard E. Tydings Oem.,
Md which limited the share of any
one state to 20 per cent. This would
permit New York no more than
Sl40, 900. 900 OF the $500. 900, 900 in
loans, and no more than $4,000, 900
a year of the proposed $40, 900, 900 in
rent subsidies. Senator Tydings al
so obtained adoption of an amend
ment which would require local
housing project sponsors to pay 5
per cent of the total cost and 5 per
cent of the rental subsidies.

the lower federal courts. 1t was in
the nature of a substitute for the
Summers bill in the house of repre-

Vice President Garner whipped
the measure through, even though
Senators McGuffey (Dem., Pa) and
Lewis Dem., Ill) loudly protested
that they wanted to go on record as
opposed to it.
The bill, as summarized by Sen.
Warren R. Austin (Rep., Vt). who
wrote most of it, included:
Provision making it the duty Of
the District court, in any constitu-
tional suit between private citizens,
to notify the Department of Justice
that upon a showing by the attorney
general that the United States had
probable interest the government
would be made a party to the suit

the Supreme court, if 30-day notice
is given, from any decision Of a
District court against the constitu-
tionality of an act.
Requirement that all suits for in
junction against the operation of
federal statutes to be heard by
three-judge court, including at least
one circuit court of appeals judge.
