Immediate precautions were
taken for protection of American
and other foreign lives and prop
erty. British volunteers stood by,
ready for any emergency.
AS bullets flew in all directions,
a French soldier was killed and
two more were wounded. An Ital-
ian marine was killed and two
we're wounded. They were struck
in the foreign concession by stray
bullets.
AS the battle ragged, fire broke
out in the Japanese airport here,
following an attempt by Chinese
militia to capture it.
Chinese troops remained in con.
troll of the west and central sta
lions in Tientsin and Japanese
troops remained at the east sta.
ton within the British concession.
Chinese, however. commanded the
road leading to this station.
Perched on roof-tops, the Chi
nese fired at traffic along this
road and virtually isolated the sta
ton and the Japanese occupying
it from all other parts of the for.
eign area. The japanese were vir.
tually trapped.
The attempt of Chinese militia
to capture the Japanese airport
and arsenal resulted in burst OF
fighting.
The airport is situated just out
side Tientsin. When the attempt
to capture it was made, all the
Japanese planes there assembled.
Then the planes dropped bombs
and machine-gunned Chinese
snipers hid on the ground.

Camp Springs; y. S.
To Provide Land

Virtually killing the recon-
mendation that the Camp Springs,
Nd, site be selected for the
Washington airport, the House
Military Affairs Committee today
ordered reported. favorably the
May bill providing for expansion
and development of the Washing
tSn.Hoover airport.
The committee inserted sew
eral amendments to the original
measure before reporting it. A
similar bill was approved by the
Senate Commerce Committee sew
eral days ago.
To Lease Highway
One of the House amendments
provides for leasing Military Road
to the air operators for 81 for a
period of Is years. In return, the
airport company must agree to
provide at least $4,000 for con-
struction of a new road to replace
Military Road.
Another change provides that
the Secretary of Agriculture shall
lease to the airport company SO
acres of ground now belonging to
the experimental farms adjoining
the airport. the amount to be paid
by the airport company to be
specified by the Secretary Of Agri'
culture. The original bill provided
that the So acres be leased to the
airport for 81 a year.
Lagoon Eliminated
The committee struck from the
bill the original provision which
would have permitted the airport
company to lease from the Gov
eminent the lagoon area near the
airport. Under the original pro
posal, the airport company pro
posed to fill in the lagoon so il
could construct a longer runway
Experts contended that the run
way still would not be sufficiently
long. National Capital Park anc
Planning Commission heads alsc
opposed the move.

back home check up and decide
he is playing golf on their time.
Although they haven't measured
it, Republicans figure that every
time a Congressman rushes from
the House Office Buildings to the
floor and back he's done at least
o half mile afoot.
With the House weary from
seven consecutive months in the
harness, the G. o. P. further fig.
ures that by administering several
doses of those half-mile trudgeS
daily, even a Democrat ought to
get tired and want to 90 home.

C0NFEREES
STILL ARGUE
ON TAXES
Higher DC. Realty and
Privilege Levy Are
Believed Likely

Still unable to reach an agree
ment on a District tax bill, Senate
and House conferees met again
this afternoon behind closed doors
to continue debate on this contro-
versiaI subject.
1t was believed likely that an
agreement would be reached,
which would discard the income
tax and per cent land tax writ
ten in by the Senate, and in their
place would substitute an increase
in the real estate levy to $l.75
per hundred and a business priv
.ilege tax at a rate of two-fifthS OF
/ per cent.
In connection with the business
privilege tax it also appeared that
the exemption under. this tax
would be raised from $1,000 to
$4,000.
Although no agreement was
made on any of these propositions
the general discussion of members
present turned toward this solu-
ton at earlier parleys.
Representative Ambrose Ken
NEEDY CD of Maryland expressed
his satisfac tion at the progress
made by the conference. He said
that although there was no bitter
discussion of the income tax pro
posal. the House conferees had
stuck by their guns in telling Sen
att members that if the income tax
was included the bill would not
have a chance of House approval,
