BOSTON WORKERS
 AID LOYALISTS

Boston, Aug. 10.-(UP)-Investi- gation of reports that Boston WpA workers are contributing to Span- ish Loyalists' war oheste was de- manded today by City Councillor Robert Wilson.
 "It has been brought to my at- tention." he said, that WPA work CTS in Boston have been making contributions to the Spanish cause from the supposedly inadequate amounts handedt hem as subsist- ence money by the federal govern ment."
 Wilson said he would ask Con- gressman George Holden Tinkham as well as the city council to in- vestigate the reports.
 If WPA workers have so much money that they can not only make contributions to labor strikes in this country but also spare gener- ous contributions to ship abroad to 2 foreign country, then an inves- tigation Is most certainly called for and am going to seek one," Wll- son asserted.

 All the other injured were report ed conscious and in flair condi- tion."
 Airport officials said the power line that caused the crash was installed to aid in lighting the airport. Plane. of the E. A. L. had been stopping here only since May 23.
 Attaches at the field said Dietz ap. parently did not know the wire was there or misjudged its height, less than 50 feet above the ground.
 The plane was travelling fast to gain altitude when the landing gear struck the wire. It plunged nose down.
 One motor of the twin motored plane caught fire but the flames were extinguished before they reached the cabin.
 Dug Out of Wreckage
 Passengers, strapped in with safe ty belts for the take-off, were dug out of the wreckage.
 The injured and dead were talk en to the Halifax hospital where an emergency call was sent for physi- clans.
 W. c. Marian, one of the injured, was said to have boarded the plane at Dallas, Texas, having transferred to E. A. L. from another line.
 J. F. Philpot, was tentatively list- ed as being a resident of Kingston, Jamaica.
 Knew Nothing of Wire
 Airport officials said the hgih ten- sion wire had been erected during the night. They said the pilot evil dently did not know it was there or had misjudged its height.
 The motor caught fire but the flames were extinguished before reaching the cabin of the ship and none of the occupants was burned. Mail and baggage on the plane were taken of without great dam- age.
 The ship was demolished. The in- jured were dug from the wreckage. Airport ambulances took them to the hospital.
 Airport offlcials here said bureau of air comemrce officials were ex- pected later in the day to make an investigation.

Japanese Officials
 Are Wild With Anger

Japanese spokesman asserted today, He further said that many Chi nese communists had arrived in that section.
 Tientsin today was quiet, but with @ tensenesS undercurrent. Japanese banks were enforcing 8 policy of cutting down on payments of cash from savings and other fixed bank ing accounts.
 Japanese military headquarters announced that Sung Cheh-Yuan chairman of the Hopei-C Chahar political council had abandone all positions of his forces and fled into Hochien, to the west of Tientsin.
 The Japanese spokesman denied rumors of heavy bombardment and fighting in Hankow yesterday but he admitted that constant skir- mishes were in progress.
 Chinese Achievements
 Shanghai, Aug. 10 - (UP) - Chinese tonight reinforced their peace preservation" regiments de- lending the Hungjao airdrome, rail- way station, and the industrial areas of the native city and pre- pared to resist Japanese demands that they punish immediately sol- diers who killed a Japanese naval officer and a seaman late yesterday
 Meantime, the Japanese were mol pressing their demands for imme- diate action although high officers of the Japanese naval staff, who met in Tokyo with Rear Admira Misumasa Yonai, navy minister presiding, announced they had de. cided to punish" the Chinese il they persist in maintaining a pro- vocative attitude"
 LOath to Start Conflict There was an increasing opinion that the Japanese were loath tc start a general conflict in Shang. hai. It was recalled that Tokyo had to spend millions of dollars to wir the Shanghai war" of 1882 anc that two full army divisions had tc be sent to the mouth of the Yang tse river before a tenuous truce which ended five weeks of bitter fighting, could be enforced.
 Terms of that truce, which pro- vided that no large units of Chinese trops shall be stations within F miles of Shanghai, still are in force the Japanese assert, but the Chinese said that they will ignore them Japan's real interest, for the pres- ent, is in North China and her policy of surrendering her conces- sion in Hankow to the Chinese and evacuating her nationals from the whole Yangtse valley region, was cited as an indication that she does not want to start major military operations in this area now.

herself to Japan.
 The navys threat assumed more importance when it was considered that the navy, taking direct action, precipitated the bloody Shanghai war" of 1882, when the heroic re- sistance of the Chinese 18th route army won the worlds admiration.
 Portuguese to Leave
 Shanghai, Aug. 10-(UP)-Portu- gene consular authorities instructed all Portuguese citizens to evacuate the Honkew section of the city to- day because of the dangerous ten- sion as the result of a clash be- tween Japanese and Chinese. Jap anese were thoroughly angry at the killing of Japanese navy officer and seaman in a fight with Chin csc peace preservation men, mili- tarized police, near the Hungjao airdrome. A Japanese embassy spokesman said that the navy men were taking no action at the mo- ment, pending efforts to effect a settlement by diplomatic means. It was ICpOA tCu tAldb NAC oUPe'AiCSS considered demanding the with drawal of the peace preservation corps outside the city, and that Chinese authorities would refuse. Peace Hopes Blasted
 For the present at least, the kill ing of the two Japanese and one Chinese who fell blasted hopes of any diplomatic negotiations to liqui- date the entire crisis. Instead there was increasing talk of war. There was little news of the situation in the Northern areas where troops are massing. Chinese dispatches said that Japanese artillery bombarded Nankow pass, 30 miles northwest of Peiping, but that Chinese repulsed an attack. It was asserted that Chi nese replied with anti-aircraft gun fire to a Japanese airplane machine gun raid on troops at Paotingfu, south Of Peiping.
 Dispatches to Nanking, the capital reported that Japanese troops were clogging the railroad which runs northwestward from Peiping and that minor clashes had started.

COMET WILL BE
 SEEN TONIGHT

New York, Aug. 10-(UP)--Fin- sler's comet will appear tonight at its maximum brilliancy as it makes its nearest approach to the earth -50,000, 900 miles away.
 Counting in from the handle of the big dipper, the comet will be found between the second and third stars.
 With a head eight times the size of the earth and a tail 2.000. 900 miles long, the comet will be a much less brilliant spectacle than was ex- pected when it was first discovered in the first week of July by Dr. Paul Finsler of Zurich, Switzer- land. Then its maximum brilliance was predicted at 33 magnitude. Hugh s. Rice, of the Hayden plan. etariun, said today that there was no chance of its being brighter than A magnitude.
 The tail of the comet probably will not be visible to the naked eye, but it will be distinguishable as larger, hazier and dulier body than the surrounding stars.

Washington today from a three-day vacation at Hyde Park, N. Y. He will remain at the White House lln- til congress adjourns.
 The presidents special train ar- rived at union station at 8:23 a. m. EST, and MT. Roosevelt motored to the White House immediately.
 When MT. Roosevelt boarded his special train at midnight at Hyde Park he told group gathered to bid him goodbye that he would re- turn five days" after the senate and house adjourn.
 MT. Roosevelt arrived 12 hours be- fore democratic senators were to meet in @ stag harmony banquet" l1onoring Sen. Alben W. Barkley, d., Ky, new majority leader. Although the president had said he had not vet decided whether to attend the affair, it was believed he merely would send message of greeting.
 Not In N. Y. Politics
 Before he left Hyde Park, White House Secretary Marvin H. McIn- tyre issued formal statement de- nying published reports that the president had taken sides in the race for the democratic mayoralty nomination in New York city.
 The report arose after Edward J. Flynn, party leader in New York's Bronx district, spent part of Sum- day at the Roosevelt family estate near Hyde Park. Flynn is support ing Jeremiah T. Mahoney, against Sen. Royal S. Copeland anti-ad- ministration candidate, in the dem- ocratic primaries.
 "The president repeated today for the thousandth time" Mcintyre said, "that he has not taken part, is not taking part and will not take part in any local primary election except in his home town (Hyde Park and home county (Dutchess county.)"
 Accuses Al Smith
 New York, Aug. 10-(UP)-Jere- miah T. Mahoney, democratic New Deal candidate for mayor, charged today that former Governor Alfred E. Smith is trying to wreck the democratic party and turn Tam many Hall over to the Liberty League by supporting the candidacy of United States Senator RSScal s. Copeland.
 Mahoney's charge was in response to a statement made by Sen. Cope land, Tammany's anti-New Deal candidate, in Washington yesterday that President Roosevelt is inter- fering as dictator in the mayor alty situation.
 Mahoney charged that Smith de- liberately was attempting to wreck the democratic party" and predicted that the people of New York would resist it..
 T certainly think this is a battle between the Liberty League on one hand and former Governor Smith on the other to turn Tammany Hall over to the Liberty League, and in this they will be as unsuccessful as they were last year when Smith gave vent to his spite against Pres ident Roosevelt" Mahoney said. Last year, it will be remembered, the democratic party turned him (Smith) down."

La0uardia made known a control plan, the latest offender, 49-year- old Lawrence Marks, Q former con- vict with a record of two previous sex offenses, pleaded not guilty to an indictment charging first degree murder in the strangling of eight year-old Paula Magagna last month.
 Under Observation
 Tn a letter to Austin H. MacCor- mick, commissioner of correction, La- Guardia ordered that all prisoners convicted of impairing the morals of children be kept under medical observation during their prison terms. After release, they would be placed under observation in the psychopathic ward of Bellevue hos- pital. Those adjudged insane would be put away for life: those not in- sane would find it extremely diff cult to plead insanity in case of a second offense.
 He pointed out that if a defendent could prove himself sane and obtain is release he would thereby destroy any insanity defense for a future sex crime. If the mans insanity was established by competent medical authority his incarceration would follow automatically.

PRESIDENT NOT GOING

Washington, Aug. 10.-(UP)-The White House announced today that President Roosevelt vii not attend the democratic harmony dinner" tonight in honor of Majority Leader Alben W. Barkley, d., Ky.
 The White House said that in- stead of attending the dinner which is sponsored by democratic members of the senate, the president will send a message to Barkley to be ready by Vice President John N. Garner.
 Garner will preside at the ban- quet.
 The dinner, in honor of the new senate leader, also was designed to aid in healing the split in demo- cratic ranks resulting from the bit- ter fight over the presidents su- preme court proposal.

lowed immediately his charge of dictatorship" against MT. Roose- welt and the complaint of interfer- ence in the New York mayoralty primary.
 Presidential Secretary Marvin H. Mcintyre, denied the President was intervening in New York city pri- marieS. Regardless of MT. Roose- velt's actions, Copeland is regarded as an anti-New Deal senator. Tam many Is known to be unfriendly to the New Deal Leaders of the four on better terms with the White other counties in New York city are House and have not put up Jeremiah T. Mahoney to oppose Copeland.
 The party division over ju- dietary reorganization, New, York's inayoralty election and tendency of conservative southern democratic legislators to pull away from the New Deal foretell political fireworks henceforth and possibly they will lead to a party purge before presi- dential election day in November l040.
 MT. Hoover's harmony call sounded yesterday, perhaps prematurely, tn revelation that he was discussing with party leaders a plan for a re- publican national convention to meet before the 1888 congressional campaign to unite party leadership and point toward the 1940 preSiden- tial wars. House republican leader, Bertrand H. Shell, permanent chair man fthe 1932 and 1886 national conventions, made an immediate and enthusiastic second to the Hoover proposal.
 But Chairman John D. M. Hamil- ton of the republican national com mittee had no comment. Former Governor Ali M. Landon, the 1886 g.o.p. presidential nominee, was silent.
 Not With Hoover
 Observers interpreted this silence to mean that the Landon-H Homil- ton organization had not been con- suited or that they had foreknowl- pected the former president of an edge of the Hoover plan and sup attempt to lift the nominal party leadership from them.
 Governor Landau and MT. Hoover will meet next month in Illinois as guest of Frank o. Lowden and from that conference may emerge some agreement on methods of uniting the leadership in a common drive against the Roosevelt administra- ton.
 There were indications here, how ever, that the Landon- Hamilton or ganization and the general run of republican congressman would balk at a "one-man" republican show in the guise of a party get-together. Mir. Hoover never has re-established his political prestige with party to hand the g.op. over to him. leaders and there is no disposition
 All reports of the Hoover conven- ton program coincide, however, in depicting MT. Hoover as without personal political ambitions.
