 The Japanese had been angereo because the French closed their end of the rntrnational bridge which ex. tends across the river from the French concession to the east rail- road station area. In retaliation the Japanese refused to permit French trucks to cross the bridge to thelr end to reach the French barracks in the east arsenal district,
 For many hours today the Jap- Anese troops, at one end Of the bridge, kept machine guns trained on the French at the other end be- hind sand bag barricades, with their own machine guns and a tank which the troops call Cleopatra.
 French sources said that the Jap- anese threatened an attack unless the French side was opened to them, and French troops fortified their arsenal barracks, adjoining the jap- anse air field, for c defense.
 The French commander, how" ever, obtained his apology from Katsuki for the Japanese obstrue- ton of the cast bridge head and as the result French troops were passing freely through the Japanese ines this afternoon,

HOUSING BILL
 BEFORE SENATE

The subsidies would be contingent on rents being kept sufficiently low by the sponsors,
 2. Direct grants not to exceed 26 per cent of the cost Of 0 project, The president would be authorized to make an additional IS per cent grant from relief funds to be used only for labor. Project sponsors would be required to supply ct least 20 per cent of the cost.
 Demonstration Projects
 Tn addition, the housing author ity would be authorized to construct demonstration projects" to prove to communities the benefits to be derived from elimination of slum areas and providing low-rent hous- ing facilities. The authority would be empowered to spend $25, ,000, ,000 on these projects and would be di- rected to sell them "as soon as practical to local public housing agencies.
 Under the first alternative, the authority would be empowered to enter into subsidy agreements call- ing for a total of not more than $20,000,000 of such payments an- nually. The repayments and sub- sidies could be for any period fixed by the authority up to 60 years.
 Opponents of the bill emphasized that under this provision the gov- ernment eventually could be forced to spend as much as $t,200, ,000, ,000 on the program. Wagner and Sen- ator Hugo L. Black, democrat, Ala bama, chairman of the senate edu- cation and labor committee which considered the bill, emphasized that most contracts would be for shorter periods-probably 30 to 70 years and that the cost therefore would be considerably less" than the maximum.
 Expenditures under the second alternative would be limited to $l0,- 100000 annually Cor tliree years, Should the administration wish to continue this chase of the program affar that ftr1aa naW aiifhOriZinn legislation would be necessary.

 It was believed that, With support assured, the budget would be in. troduced by tho government at once Then the country will get c clearer idea of what the army In North China, which acts independently of the government as a whole, may commit it to, This would be a special budget, In addition to big sums already voted by parliament for North China expenses,
 As at TientShn spokeSmeh there did all they could Co forward the Idea that If there was war China would be to blame. Japanese re" ports from China were that Chi- nese forces again becoming "pro- voeative" and that big troop con" eentra tons continued,

 The French American vote has been c factor of greatest importance to the republicans during the six teen years when it has sought to make reasonable showing as tho minority contender. Whatever strength the independent demo- crats," now taking over from the republican command, may have to substitute will hardly offset the dis affection of the French American organizations, political observers said today,
