Chinese, Japanese Battle AM Night Then Make Truce

Peiping, China, July g. - (UP) - Chinese and Japanese troops faced each other across the Yingting river south of Peiping today under a truce which threatened at any time to end in new fighting.
 They had fought sporadically un- til 11:30 o'clock last night. Then firing broke out early this morning and continued until 3 a. m. It was resumed at 5 and ended soon after ward when it was agreed finally that troops on each side should withdraw to agreed positions on either side of the river.
 Chinese troops, sullen and ready to resume at first opportunity a hopeless fight against the Japanese war machine, entrenched themselves on the right or southern bank of the river; Japanes troops on the left or north bank near the Peiging- Hankow railroad.
 As reported here, the agreement indicated that the Chinese had made som concession to the Japa- nese demands for withdrawal, and had put back their lines little, while the Japanese lines remained almost where they were during the two days of fighting.
 Japanese army authorities issued

their first complete casualty list, admitting three officers and seven soldiers killed and 20 wounded. Chi nese casualties were estimated at 19O killed or wounded. In addition there were unconfirmed reports that many civilian casualties were caused by Japanese bombardment of Wan pinghsien, on the Yingting river where the fighting centered.
 The situation here and at Tient- sin on the coast was quiet. Rail- road and telephonic communication between Peiping and Tientsin was resumed. The Chinese showed more determination. to resist any Japanese pressure than in some years. Colonel Chih H. Shing- Wen, commanding Chinese troops at the Marco Polo Bridge on the Yangting at Wabpinghsien, said in a stattment:
 We will elect to die rather than to withdraw from our positions This town may be our grave. II we must die. we prefer to die here defending Chinese territory to our last breath. We do not oppose peaceful settlement. But the Jap anese wanted us alone to withdraw even before any negotiations took place, and this we could not do."

Henry Cotton Wins
 British Golf Honors
Second Victory for Britisher in Open Golf Champion. -Bookmakers Made Killing When
 American Didn't Win '.

Carnoustie, Scotland, July g. - CUP) - Henry Cotton, smooth stroking English professional, today won the British open golf cham pionship with an aggregate score of 290. He had scores of 73 and 7l in the third and fourth rounds played in heavy rains.
 This was Cotton's second victory in the open. He won the 1884 tour ney at Sandwich with an aggre- gate of 283. He played fine round under the afternoon down. pour to pass the earlier leader, Reg Whitcombe, youngest of the fam ous Whitcombe golfing brothers who aggregated 292. Whitcombe leader when the days play started had the title all but in his grasp but scored a "A in the morning round, and followed with a 76 thi afternoon.
 Killing Is Made
 The bookmakerS must have made killing. This was because of the tremendous amount of money wag' cred at varying odds that an Amer ican would win. But none of the strong Ryder Cup players from over. seas, nor one of the other stal pros or amateurs including Bot Sweeny of New York and London who holds the British amateur title was able to come through.

 Jerusalem, July 9-(U.P0 -Nerv- ousness increased throughout Pal estine today after the first demon- strations of protest against Brit ish plan to partition the country between Jews and Arabs, with Jer- ,lsalem and Bethlehem left under British mandate.
 Armed police, wearing steel hel- nets, patrolled the streets of Jeru- salem, Jaffa and Haifa in unusual numbers, particularly in the vicinity of Mosques as a precautioh for crowds of worshippers leaving the Mosques after Friday noon prayers.
 Police dispersed an Arab demon- stration at Jaffa and authorities or- dered members Of the Arab commit tee theer not to leave the district.
 Rumors flew wildly, and a colli- sion between an Arab motor truck and a Jewish passenger car, in which two Jews ere killed, was the cause of reports of serious disorders.

RESCUE PLANES TO
 KEEP UP SEARCH
Their Task Seems to Be Hopeless One; Search-
 lights Working
BY WENDELL BURCH Limited Press Staff Corresponds

United Press Staff CorrespOndent) Honolulu, July g. - (UP) = Hope for the lives of Amelia Earhart and Captain Frederick Noonan ebbed again today as radio experts established that not one of the numerous messages re- ported to have been sent from their globe circling plane since it disappeared over the Pacific wastes one week ago, could be shown to be authen- tic.
 Three planes from the Battleship Colorado made three long flights over the Phoenix Islands, l,200 miles southwest of here, covering their length north and south, without finding the least trace of the flyers or their $s0,000 plane. The planes and three surface vessels contin- ued the discouraging search today
 For almost 48, hours no carrier signals had been heard on the wave length of Miss Earhart's radio and only one message, which, like many that had preceded 1t since the plane disappeared on its flight from New Guinea to Rowland Island, was ot doubtful authenticity.
 Task Was Hopeless
 The task of the planes and tho chip admittedly was 2 hopeless one The Phoenix Islands are scattered over an ocean the size of the state of Indiana and in an area so vast their efforts were like those of thl man in a haystack looking for g needle. Chief hope centered on the Aircraft Carrier Lexington, racing here at top speed. Her 72 planes will be able to survey the area thorough 4.y.,

Administration Leaders Say They Will Have 52
 Votes to Carry It
BY JOE ALEX MORRIS United Press Staff COrreSpOndent

Washington, July 9- The admin istration began to turn on the heat" today in an effort to get the substitute judiciary reorganization bill past powerful senate opposition.
 Two main objectives stood out in the first maneuvers of the democra- tic leadership to enact the revised measure.
 Majority Leader Joseph T. Robin son, of Arkansas, and his aides brought out every possible parlia- mentary weapon with which to fight filibuSter-although no one yet has started a fllibuster. The real conflict, including decision on whe- ther there will be filibuster, will come in about three weeks after reasonable" debate by both sides.
 Supporters of Bill
 Supporters of the court bill ham, mered relentlessly at what they said was an attack on President Roose- welt by the leading foes of the measure and the authors of the ad- verse judiciary committee report. Their chief targets were democrats. By such tactics, they apparently sought to whip a party majority in- to line.
 With Senator Burton K. Wheeler, D., Mont, and possibly Senator Jo- seph c. O'Mahoney, D., Wyo., sched- uled to take up debate for the op- position this afternoon, both sides were in position for one of the bit. terest and probably longest battles of modern parliamentary history.
