today to consider casting their
lot with John L. Lewis Commit
tee on Industrial Organization.
Most of those attending today's
meeting, held in the offices Of the
Consumers Project of the Depart

the National Recovery Admins
tration, are employed in emer-
gency agencies such as the WPA
and ReSettlement Administration,
or engaged on emergency projects
in the Labor and Agriculture
Departments. the General Ac-
counting Office and Interstate
Commerce Commission.
It is their feeling that the reg
ular Civil Service Employees and
the unions with which they are
affiliated have thrown them to
the wolves in refusing to back
them in their demand for secu-
rity in their jobs. They have
been fighting for absorption into
the permanent organization by
transfer to the Civil Service
rolls, but thus far have been
able to make little progress in
this direction.
Leaders Silent
Val Lorwin of the Consumers
Project, in whose office the
"rebels" met, said he had no ad-
vance notice as to the purpose of
the meeting.
President c. I. Stengle of the
American Federation of Govern
ment Employees, from which the
rebel" lodges are threatening to
secede, likewise disclaimed any
knowledge as to the reported pur-
pose of the deSerterS to affiliate
with the C. I. o.
One group of emergency work
ers has been gaining recruits rap

a meeting in the willard Hotel.
This afternoons gathering ap-
parently was arranged by another

Keep your head down!
This was the hardest thing she
ever had to do-eSpecially in
championship matches-MrS. Dor
othy White Nicolson, former Dis
trict golf champion, said today in
C:-cussing golf and how to play
good game.
Mrs. Nicolson, who was District
champion for four consecutive
years, gave up competitive golf
when she married Hugh T. Nicol.
son, assistant superintendent Of
the District Of Columbia Paper
Company.
But after the birth Of her son
Charles, now six, she came back to
win the Middle Atlantic won1en'S
golf championship. At the present
time she is private secretary to
her father, DR.. William Charles
White, chairman Of the commits
sion on medical research Of the
National tuberculosis Research
Association.

This athletic, good looking
young woman who diSdainS lip

playing Scotland's national game
at an early age.
Her family maintained a sum-
mer cottage in Canada. It over
looked the golf links. One day her
father put set of clubs in her
10-year-old hands and told her to
play. She's been doing it ever
since.
Young Charles owns his own
little set of clubs, though his
mother, who is teaching him, ex-
plains:
"He doesn't really play, you
understand, he's just a baby.
But some day I hope to make q
champion of him."
The former champion was born
in Indianapolis and educated in
private schools in Pittsburgh and
at Wellesley College.
She thinks that golf is one of
the greatest sports in the world
and to hear her describe the CO.
ordination between the brain, the
eye and the body is fascinating to
say the least.
Keen ON New Home
Mrs. Nicolson was enthusiastic
too, about the new house which
she and her husband recently
bought in Westmoreland Hills,
Md. She is going to do her own

proximately of the same size. The
reason for the apparent difference
depends upon the orifce or aper-

of this opening that creates the
erroneous impression of different

SHANGHAI Smells Smoke

u IRST clash of the Chinese CEN
l trail governments army with the
japanese invaders occurred at his
toric Nankow pass in the Great
wall, 80 miles northwest of Peiping,
when the Eighty ninth division,
from the provinces of Suiyuan and
Shansi attacked the Japanese gar
riSon.
Through this pass the Japanese
have been able to move reinforce
ments from Manchukuo, its protec-
torate, and the Chinese wanted to
gain control of it. They wiped out
a whole battalion of japanese sol
diers in the opening battle.
The Japanese opened up immedi-
ately afterward with heavy artillery
fire which the Chinese failed to re-
turn. Indeed the latter were silently
retreating into positions they
thought more secure. AS shells fell
in the city of Nankow, fires were
seen to arise from heavily populat-
ed areas. The Chinese, however,
were said to be well equipped with
trench mortars with which to de-
fend the pass once they considered
their position satisfactory.
Japanese warned that all of their
forces in North China, some 10000
fighting men, would be loosed upon
the Chinese if they made any at
tempt to return to the old capital in
Peiping, now held by the invaders.

it clear that it will not push through
the Presidents much-desired wages

can Federation of Labor, unless
southern farmers get their cotton
loans. Furthermore, the Southern
ers under the capitol dome are now
asking for loans as high as Is cents

Is cents. The South is not any too
well in accord with maximum hours
and minimum wages anyway.
The result of the whole affair is
a complete stalemate. Somebody
will have to give in; somebody prob
ably will, and there will be old
fashioned 'hoss trading" on a
wholesale scale. For congress wants
to adjourn before the snow flies.
Southerners in the senate were
also worried when Senator Robert

in winning recognition to debate an
anti-lynching bill, the type of which
the South has been successful in

were of the opinion that the bill, al

Rebels Press Santander

D EPORTS from the insurgent
N command said that 35 villages
and 1000 prisoners had been cap
tured by the rebels in their drive on
Santander and the tiny remaining
slice of the northern Spanish coast
held by the government. The gov
eminent admitted that some adj
vances had been made, but refused
to concede that General Franco
forces were threatening the main
defenses of the Santander area.
Franco, in his new drive, was us
ing the same tactics which eventu-
ally brought about the downfall of
Bilbao after a siege of many
months. Bombing planes and artil-
lery were pounding the Notifications
while other airplanes poured ma
chine gun fire upon trenches and
dugouts.
Insurgents planned the Santander
advance to require as little man.
power as possible, so as to leave
enough men at the Madrid front to
start separate offensive there if
necessary. They admitted the 10y
alists had caught them mapping with
an offensive west of Madrid in July,
causing them to abandon the San
lander drive temporarily, but de-
clared that "That will not happen
this time"
That all might not be going as
well as General Franco insisted was
indicated when he was forced into
the paradoxical act of Smelling one
of his own cities, Segovia. This was
done, it was reported, to quell re-
bellion among the insurgent forces.
1t was also said that the insurrec-
ton had been spreading among sew
eral provinces.

II Still Wasn't War

= EN-. SHERMAN was the Yank
~ who is credited with the re-
markable observation that war is
hell" Now the 1900 Yanks in the
North China danger zone are agreed
that while the current unpleasant
ness" may not be official war in
the eyes of the Japanese govern
ment, it surely is the other thing.
With shrapnel raining around
their ears, Americans in Shanghai
prepared to leave while the leaving
was good, and the U. S. S. Augusta,
flagship of Uncle Sans China
squadron, stood by to help them
make their getaway, as the great
city of 100000 inhabitants sweated
in a crisis that threatened greater
destruction than the fighting of 1882.
At least three Americans were
killed in. the opening skirmishes,
along with about 600 others, mostly
Chinese. Yet the American State
department indicated that the Unit
ed States had no intention of becom-
ing involved, even if some American
lives were lost.
The gravest situation in the unde-
clared war to date arose when three
Chinese bombing planes attacked
the Idzumo, japanese flagship, as it
lay in the northern end of the Bund
The bombs missed their mark, but
they drew the fire of the japanese,
and it was not long before consid-
cradle areas of Shanghai were set
aflame by the incendiary shells.
Ironically enough, most of the
damage and loss of life was caused
by the Chinese themselves. Chinese
planes zoomed over the city in the
direction of the japanese ships, to
the cheers of the populace, still
mindful of the fact that the out
come of the 1882 affair might have
been different had the Chinese
owned military planes at that time.
But the cheers turned suddenly into
screams of horror as bombs began
dropping not upon the hated enemy,
but upon defenselsss Chinese civil
ians who filed the native quarters
streets.
Frightful were the scenes which
filled the bombed area, as 1,50O
dead and wounded lay about, some
of them blown to bits. Explanation
for the slaughter, as prepared by
Nine. Chang Kai-shek, wife of the
Chinese dictator, was that the men
flying the bombers had been wound
ed by japanese anti-aircraft and
machine guns and their planes had
been so crippled that the bombs
were released unintentionally before
the f1iers reached their objective.
Two of the airmen were killed.
The planes of destruction had
been purchased in the United States.
However, the opinion of members
of the United States senate commit
tee on foreign affairs was that a
statement expected from President
Roosevelt would not involve the neu-
trality act, with its power to outlaw
the sale of arms and the extension
OF credits to belligerent nations.
japanese authorities continued to
insist that they meant no harm to
the Chinese people, and that their
aim was still for the Cooperation
of China, Manchukuo and Japan.
They also revealed that voluntary
contributions to the nations war
chest, coming from all over Japan,
had reached a total of So. SOC. 600
