danger to foreigners.
A Chinese anti-aircraft gun shell

seen. Ambulances were taking away
wounded. 1t was indicated that
some of the planes which came TO
bomb the city were driven off by
Chinese planes, and Chinese as
serted that they shot down four

HEADING
FIGHT ON RFC

The Administrations first move
to extend the life of New Deal
emergency organizations met stiff
opposition in the Senate today
when Senator Harry F.. Byrd (DO
of Virginia, led a contest against
granting a new two-year lease of
life to the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation and four of it's lend
ing subsidiaries.
Byrd insisted the life of the RFC
be extended only to July l, 1888,
instead of until June 80, 1889, as
recommended by the Administra'
ton. He protested against includ
ing the four subsidiaries in the
same bill, urging greater delibera
ton on this question as the laws
creating them will not expire until
next July. He said:
"My point is that the next
fiscal year ends July 1, 1888,
and there is no need now to ex.
tend the RFC beyond that date,
and think we should give Seri-
GUS consideration to the request
for extending the life of these
emergency subsidiaries for an
other two years, since they will
not expire until July l."
