ROOSEVELT CLAMPS
DOWN ON PUBLICITY

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16. (UP)
The administration today had
erected a towering wall of silence
as a barricade against demands
that President Roosevelt call for
the resignation Of U. S. Supreme
Court Justice Hugo L. Black be-
cause of his alleged life member
ship in the Ku Klux Klan.
Mr.. Roosevelt gave the admin
istration's position in the contro-
versy Tuesday when he said there
would be no comment on the Black
charges until the former Alabama
senator returns from vacation
abroad. He cautioned newspaper
correspondents not to predict that
the White House would take ac-
ton even after Black returns.
His advice was subject to two
interpretations: (1) that he would
give Black an opportunity to read
a complete account of the Klan
disclosures as made in the Pitts
burgh Post-Gazette and syndicat-
ed by the North American News
paper Alliance, before seeking an
explanation from the newly ap-
pointed jurist and (2) that the
controversy will be short-lived and

ITALY MAY BE
GIVEN BIG ROLE
IN PIRACY WAR
Seen as Forcing Recogni-

Neutrality Pledge
BRIT0NS WANT WAY
OPEN FOR ACCORD

LONDON, Sept. 16.-(UP)-
Britain and France are almost
certain to grant Italy's demand
for equality in the patrol against
piracy" in the Mediterranean,
diplomatic experts of London
newspapers close to official
sources said today.
Prime Minister Neville Cham
berlain, who is mentioning in
Scotland, several times yesterday
was in telephone communication
with Foreign Secretary Anthony
Eden over the critical situation
arising from Italian Indignation,
the Daily Mail said.
Italy was invited to adhere to
the nine-power Nyon pact for pa
troll of the Mediterranean but re-
fused to cooperate when she was
given only the little Tyrrhenian
sea to watch, instead of receiving
major patrol assignment as was
given to Britain and France.
The prime minister does not
desire the Forthcoming Italo-Brit-
ish talks for a general Mediterra-
mean agreement to be jeopardized
by misunderstanding arising
from the Nyon agreement, the
Mail said.

SAY JAPS STUNNED

SHANGHAI, Sept. 16. (UP)-
Chinese troops, welding their big
swords with deadly effect in
fierce hand-to-hand fighting, to-
day recaptured the strategic town
Of Lotien, "a miles northwest Of
the International settlement, a
Chinese military spokesman an
nounced.
The savage Chinese attack in
section from which they were
supposed to be retiring stunned
the Japanese, 1t was said.
Hostilities returned to Shang-
hats doorstep today when Japan
csc gunboats in the Whangpoo
river shelled Pootung, across the
river from the international set
Element, and Chapel, the Chinese
district just north Of the settle
ment.
Chinese machine-gunners and
snipers, still active in these Sec
tions despite being under heavy
fire for weeks, were targets Of
the naval guns.
Heavy rains ceased during the
morning and new fires sprang up
throughout the already devastat-
ed sections of Chapel, Yangtse-
poo, Hongkew, and the many vii
lagos in the countryside north
west Of the city.
Cholera continued to be peril
for Chinese and foreigners alike.
An unconfirmed report said q pri-
vate Brown of the British army

A Japanese army spokesman
said that there had been 200 cases
in the japanese army and 60
deaths.
The war took on a new scope
in the north, where the japanese

south of Peiping. Japan's cam.
paign in the south was confined
to naval and aerial bombardment

PARIS, Sept. 16. (UP). - A
major fashion crisis that had all
the possibilities of an outright
feud brewed last night when
seven "best dressed women" dis
covered that each was wearing
the same dress creation.
The fashionable ritz and crillon
bars in Paris buzzed with talk of
what would happen when the wo-
men saw Schiaparelli, the famous
couturiere, again.
Nine. Schiaparelli had nothing
to say about it.
Each of the seven women,
three of whom are Americans, Is
noted for her originality in sar-
torial effects and each has built
up a reputation on both sides of

FASCISTS HAVE NAH
SUPPORT in POLICY

LONDON, Sept. 16.-(UP)-
Fascist Italy, supported by Nazi
Germany, indicated last night she
might renounce her Spanish neu-
trality pledge because Italian
warShips were not given role
equal to those of Britain and
France in the Mediterranean "pi-
racy" patrol.
Italian newspapers made it
clear that unless Britain and
France alter the piracy" plan to
give Italy an equal footing, Pre-
mier Mussolini may withdraw
from the already tottering nom
intervention plan under which 81
nations promised to keep out of
Spain.
The semi official Giornale
DItalia, edited by Virginia Gay
da, said "any further move be-
longs to the French and British
governments, not Italy, for they
must chose between a considera-
ton of Italy's evident rights and
the responsibility of an autono-
nous policy unfolding itself in
the Mediterranean without Italy,
the greatest Mediterranean pow
err"
Diplomats said such a move by
Italy undoubtedly would be ac-
companied by a similar renuncia-
ton of non-intervention by Chan
cellor Adolf Hitler of Germany.
The controlled Nazi press said
yesterday that Mussolini's refusal
to accept naval patrol in the lit
tie Tyrrhenian sea - refusal
announced after Rome Berlin
consultations - had Germany's
full approval, as did Fascist CEN
