The note explained the Sino-
Japanese warfare, from China's
standpoint, since the incident
near the Lukouchiao railroad
area on the night of July z when
Japanese troops, holding night
maneuvers. alleged they were mr.
ed on by Chinese.
The Japanese did not return
the fire, but later ordered the
Chinese to disband. When the
Chinese refused, the japanese
military forces invaded their ter
ritory.
The note said the Chinese gov
eminent sought to settle the
Lukouchiao and Shanghai mel,
dents peaceably but commended
that Japan resorted to "a delioer-
ate aggression" wherefore Japan
was held to have acted in VIOLA

upon giving him as free hand
as possible in the development of
the institution.
"Once this is done, the money
necessary for equipping Kanuga
for it's new undertaking could be
obtained. We still have in the
church men of large means, who
will be willing to help finance
large faith and large vision in
the field of Christian education.
Unless we do, our vision for mis-
sions will continue to lack sup
port.
"The whole Christian philoso-
ply is being challenged. We can
meet that challenge. We must
break down the cleavage that ex-
lists between Christianity and in
telligence. If our type of govern
ment is to survive in the world
we must give more thought TO
the Christian education OF the
middle and lower classes"
The committee agreed to the
report and also agreed that new
buildings would be required; that
buildings should be erected with
the idea of using them for con-
ference purposes as well as Jun
Tor college purposes; that in no
case was the charge to be more
than $3.50 per year per pupil; ana
that an endowment OF at least
100000 would be needed.

he said.
Rayburn pledged the house
leadership's support to Cannon in
making the reductions. Cannon
said that he intended to call back
to Washington, before the new
session, several subcommittee to
begin hearings on appropriation
bills for the next fiscal year.
Taber contended that in addi-
ton to the huge appropriations
by the last session, congress au-
thorized the federal government
to enter into $250,000,000 Of
contracts.
The record of the past year has
carried New Deal spending since
1888 to S35,000,000, 900 and will
mean the piling of from $1,000
100000 to $4.000,000,000 of adj
ditional deficits on the present
$37,000,000,000 public debt this
year, he said.
He charged the administration,
despite promises to the contrary,
with bringing in a new tax bill
each year. ,
mo taxes have been started
and abandoned after they were
started" he said. eve are prom
ised, in the tax bill that it to be
considered at the next session,
another increase which will raise
5000, 100000 or S300,000,0O0 but
with the spending program that
has been inaugurated our govern
ment cannot balance its budget
with such puny revenues"
Taber added that there are now
about $4,000 federal employees,
an increase of 275,000 since the
New Deal.
"On Friday, August 20, a bill
was passed by the house to pro-
vide for the purchase by the gov
eminent of a quantity of rein
deer, a slaughter-house, and re-
frigerating plant, in Alaska, be-
longing to the Lomen company
which was in the reindeer busi-
ness in Alaska in 1914 and which
never has been successful" Taber
said.
ain other words the govern,
ment puts up $2,000,00O to bail

ing to the Orient.
Chinese military aviators, who
said they mistook the American
refugee ship for japanese army
transport, hurled four bombs at
the liner starting at $40 p. m.
yesterday.
Three explosives hit the ship
and at least 10 Americans were
injured, including seven members
of the crew, two Of them serious
ly, and three passengers.
Ambassador Nelson T. Johnson
in Marking protested the incident
Immediately to the Chinese gov
eminent, which admitted response
bility.
Four Chinese planes participat-
ed in the attack.
Japanese destroyers, racing to
the scene Of the bombing 20 miles
off the Yangtse lightship, on the
high seas. reported that one Of
the bombs blasted a hole 20 feet
in diameter in the Hoover's steel
deck.
The Japanese reported that sew
en- of those wounded-two passen-
gers and five members Of the
crew-were transferred to the
British cruiser Cumberland, which
had raced to the Hoover's assis-
tance' when her radio operator
sent out messages for aid.
The Hoover was approaching
her anchorage off Woosung, north
of Shanghai proper, when she was
attacked. She was coming from
Manila where she had discharged
American refugees from this city.
Two American destroyers, the
Edsall and the Parrot, raced to
the Hoover's side when her fran
tic radios for help cracked
through the air to U. S. Naval
headquarters here. They were es-
corting her to Japan today.
The ship had intended to take
on several hundred more refugees
here but Admiral Harry Yarnell,
commanding the U. S. Asiatic
squadron, ordered her to proceed
Immediately to Japan after the
attack.
A total of 583 persons-263
passengers and the crew of 800
men-faced possible death in the
bombings. There apparently was
no panic among the crew. Mes
sages praised the courage and re-
sourcefulness of the liners COM

CAVE-IN KILLS
z NEGRO MEN
Third Critically Injured as
Ditch Walls Collapse
in High Point

HIGH POINT, Aug. 81. (UP)
Collapse of the soft clay walls of
a drainage ditch crushed two ne
gro men to death here late yester-
day and left a third critically in
jured.
The body of Grover Sutton was
removed from beneath Is feet of
dirt at 9:25 p. M, more than five
hours after the cave-in trapped
him, with Sam Ramp and Sam
Wilson.
Wilson was found at 500 p. M,
partially protected by a heavy
wooden beam which had fallen
across the ditch above him. Ply
sicians said he may survive.
Kamp, removed at GAO p. M,
was pronounced dead after emer-
gency efforts to reSuscitate him
had failed for an hour.
Sutton's body was located APP
proximately 100 feet from the
opening of the underground ditch,
which was being built to carry
water away from a railroad fill
near the center of town.
The cave-in came without warn
ing and buried the negroes under
a pile of dirt estimated at Is feet
deep.
Policemen and firemen joined
other project workers in the res
cue digging. Danger of further
cave-ins made it necessary to
brace the ditch walls with heavy
timbers as the digging progressed
Hundreds Of persons milling
about the scene of the cave-in
were held back by police reserves
Three ambulances waited nearby
The ditch. 165 feet long, slopes
downward from tracks of the
Southern Railway main line. The
cave-in occurred near the tracks

A WINNER is WITH US

Parker Segraves, of Helton, has won $500
by his own efforts in original designing which
is an honor that should encourage other boys
and girls in this section to work at worthwhile
things instead of playing and loafing away
their time.
The development of initiative and ingenuity
on mass scale among the school boys of the
country, has enlisted the sincere and earnest
endeavors of the Federal and State govern
ments, parents, societies, industries and the
public generally.
The plan for such work this year undoubt-
edly belongs to the Fisher Body Craftsman's
Guild, sponsored by General Motors Corpora
ton, for its model car and Napoleonic coach
competitions in which thousands of boys dra-
matically proved that American ingenuity,
which established this country as the leading
industrial nation of the world, is by no means
on the wane.
That American youths decided preference
for automobiles radically more streamlined
than at present, was forcibly demonstrated in
the thousands of tiny auto models submitted in
the model car design competition inaugurated
this year. The competition proved that the
streamlining of airplanes had definitely regis
tered in the consciousness of the average youth
Almost every conceivable type of automo-
bile design and construction was represented in
the models submitted. There was high per-
centage of rear-engine jobs and the specifica-
tons of some called for air conditioning. Other
features included disappearing headlamps. con-
cealed door hinges, reversed periscopes to
provide greater rear vision, disappearing rum
ming boards and bumpers joined to the body
with no intervening space.
The competitions were open to boys between
the ages of IL and 10, and cash awards exceed
ing $4,000 were distributed.
If young Mr.. Segraves keeps up his good
work, he will find that he has won far more in
this contest than the actual $500 which is
enough money until we can't afford to grin at it.

Two years ago the Woman's Club started
public library for the sole purpose OF having
some central place where the citizens of the
county could come to read or to get books to
take home. It was established purely and SIM
ply for county improvement and the present
summer has shown that the visiting tourists,
appreciate having such place where they can
get reading material
The library started out with about 100 donat-
ed books. Within the two years of its life, this
number has increased by thousand and there
are around twelve hundred books in the library
at present. This represents no little work on the
part of the local club members since there have
been no cash donations to work with. Much OF
the help in donating volumes has come from
former residents of the county who are still in
terested in its welfare.
In the spring the Adult Education Admins
tration bought book truck to work in cooper
alton with the library and to carry books out
into the various parts of the county. 1t is amaz-
ing how eagerly boys and girls men and wom-
en-, await the arrival of the book truck to get
their reading matter for the next two or three
weeks when the truck will come back, take up
the read books and give out more.
Each school in the county has library prob
lem and communities feel that their first loyalty
is at home, but it is we'll for us to stop and con-
slider what real place public library, open
winter and summer, has made in the steps for
betterment that are being taken in Ashe. The
library deserves the praise and loyalty of all
the citizens as it should not be local affair
but countrywide one. 1t and the book truck
have wonderful educational possibilities that
must not be overlooked
