Message Delivered at An
tietam Where $4,000
Died in Civil War

SHARPSBURG, Md, Sept. IT,
(UP)-President Roosevelt said
today on the 18th anniversary OF
the Battle of Antietam that per-
haps never before has the United
States thought and acted with
such national unity.

tress or difficulty of any one part
of the union adversely affects
each and every part" he said on

900 northern and southern SOL
diers died.

lend a helping hand to those
Americans who need it most.
at is too soon to define the his
tory of the present generation but
I venture the belief that it was
not until the World war of twenty
years ago that we acted once more
as a nation of restored unity.
81 believe also that the past
four years mark the first occasion,
certainly since the War Between
the States, and perhaps during the
whole $50 years of our govern
ment, that we are not only acting
but also thinking in national
terms.
ave know today it was for the
best that the conflict did not end
in a division of our land into two
nations"

FORM OF GOVERNMENT

CHICAGO, Sept. 17.-(UP)-
Gen. Hugh S. Johnson, once lead
er Of the New Deals National Re
covery Administration, said yes
terday that President Roosevelt
seeks control of the supreme court
"by the appointment to it of
majority of his own choosing, hill

1t was his only reference to the
Black controversy in an address
before the National Hardwood as
ISOLATION, to which Johnson ex'
pressed fear that the New Deals
chief objective is "to give us
new form of government-not
within the constitution but in
spite of the constitution"
Speaking on the eve of Consti-
tuition day, Johnson asserted:
"Under the seduction of bally-
hoo, bribery and charm we are
moving away from the democracy
imagiped by the constitution and
straight toward as rigid a Dictator
ship Is there is on earth, and we
are moving there because we don't

doing because there is no party
of opposition worthy Of the name
to make it clear by protest and

curled in a heap because it went
out with what looked like fake
program and with what seemed a
false-face candidate who appeared
to conceal probable purpose to go
straight back to the reactionary
principles of the old order of the
tory Republicans"
Johnson said the GAINS and pur-
poses and principles of the origi-
nal New Deal expressed, / think,
the conviction of the country as
they then were and as they still
remain"
These aims he said included la

"You can't go back on these
things" he said. "They must be
accepted and kept as a sincere
and honest creed in the spirit of
a crusade until they are satisfac-
torily solved. Any man or any
party which stands for less can
neither prevail nor even check the
third New Deals march toward a
one-man government.
"If there is no other party to
insure them, the New Deal will
prevail in spite of the hateful con-
ditions of constitutional revolu-
ton which it has tackled on them
because for the sake Of these
necessities and being not able to
find them elsewhere, the country
will take the New Deal-constitu-

SHANGHAI, Sept. II. (UP)-
Chinese, Selling advantage of the
heavy rains that immobilized Jap
anese airplanes and tanks today
attacked ferociously at key points
along the Shanghai front.
Infantry units and big sword
men smashed at japanese lines in
Lotien, Liuhang and Aikue Sec
tors. japanese called for rein
forcements.
At Peiping. the reorganized Chi
nese army is attacking Japanese
on two sides and at Hong Kong
the Chinese claimed destruction Of
a Japanese airplane.
In Canton there was bombing
raid on the Chinese communist
party headquarters.
Marking announced the party is
retaining its identity under an
agreement to aid the government
against Japan and may nominate
candidates in the national con-
gressional election.
China warned foreign shipping
today to stay outside the 122nd
meridian, off the China coast, be-
tween 6 a. m. and 6 p. M, indi-
eating the government was pre-
pairing to send out a fleet of war
planes to attempt to break tho
Japanese blockade.
The Chinese warning was given
in official notices to the embassies.
Roughly, the region mentioned ex-
tends across waters between the
coast and where pilot ships are
anchored in the vicinity of this
city.
In the midst of this tense situa-
ton, reliable sources said there
would be conference later today
aboard the U. s. flagship Augusta
between Vice Admiral Kiyoshi
Hasewaga, commander Of the jap
anese third battle fleet, and the
commanders of the naval units
stationed here by the United States
and three other powers. It was
said that Admiral Harry E. Var
nell and Sir Charles Little, COM
manders of the American and
British naval units, would attend
and there was a possibility that
representatives of the Italian and
Netherlands fleets also would be
present.
Presumably, the naval comman-
ders were prepared to discuss the
protest which the four powers sent
to both Chinese and Japanese, urg-
ing that gunfre and aerial bombs
be diverted from the International
Settlement where casualties have
been heavy among non-combat-
ants.
In North China, thousands of
Chinese troops were reported to
be retreating on all Hopei fronts
before the most determined Japa-
nese offensive of the undeclared
war.
At the headquarters Of Lieut.
Gen. Count Juichi Terauchi, Jap
anese commander in North China,
II was said that the Chinese were
falling back toward their northern
military headquarters at Paoting-
fu. 80 miles southwest Of Peiping.
Chinese troops were estimated at
100000. Japanese expected they
would consolidate around Paoting-
In the Shanghai area, Chinese
displayed a battle-scarred rising
sun flag - supposedly captured
from the 22d Japanese brigade
in support of their assertion that
thew had recaptured the city OF
Lotien on the motor road between
Shanghai and Liuho.

PLANES ARE UNLOADED
FROM SHIP FOR ORIENT

SAN PEDRO, Calf, Sept. II.
(UP)-Sixteen airplanes intended
for Chinese use in the Chinese
Japanese war were removed yes
terday from the government-own-
ed freighter Wichita, the result of
President Roosevelt's restriction
on arms shipments to the orient.
Earlier, an oil barge had been
prevented from loading $4,000
barrels of fuel oil aboard the
Wichita, on orders of the Mari
time Federation of the Pacific,
composed of labor unions, whose
leaders said they were attempting
"to follow out President Roose-
velt's proclamation"
The Wichita, privately operat-
ed. was to sail last night for Ma
Mia with cargo of what spokes-
man for the Panama-Pacifc line,
agents for the Wichita, described
as Ordinary freight" He denied
reports that the freight was chief
ly scrap iron for use in the manu-

WASHINGTON, Sept. IL
(UP)-Senator Burton X. Wheel
er, D., Mont, spearhead of the
opposition which frustrated
President Roosevelt's supreme
court program, last night demand
ed that the president name an
Impartial board" to Investigate
published charges that U. S. SUI
preme Court Justice Hugo l.,
Black is a member of the Ku KluX
Khan.
Wheeler, whose defeat for OPP
position to the president was de-
manded by New Deal Senator Jo-
seph Guftey, d., Pa, asserted
that if tne president failed to act,
"the senate should do So"
"This is a good illustration OF
what happens when an admins
tration acts hastily and what hap
pens when senator's vote blindiy
for every suggestion that is made
by the White House." Wheeler as
serted in a statement wired to the
United Press from Fargo, n. ID.
"The president should appoint
an impartial board to investigate
the charges, or the senate should
do so.
"If the charges made are true
the president should ask for his
(Black's) re signation."
Wheeler's statement did not
say that he would take the lead
in forcing senate action II the
president fails to act. -.
The charges that Black is a ll1e
member of the Klan were carried
in a series of articles in the Pitts
burgh, Pa, Post-Gazette and syn
dicated by the North American
Newspaper Alliance.
Black, who was revealed last
night as having taken both the
regular constitutional oath ana
the oath as member of the
court, is now in London but Will
sail from Ireland to the united
States September 20. He has re-
fused any comment on the
charges. ,
The administration has adopted
an ironclad policy of silence pend
ing Blacks return.
