I wonder II you'd care to hear
A story from my life.
"a life that's not unusual
Some pain-some fun--some strife. }
1t all began when I began.
AS just little tot,
I looked so very funny-oh!
They hoped I'd change a lot.
1t seems their hopes were all mis-
spent
For I remained the same.
Sad relatives discussed my looks.
And said: "My!-what a shamei"
But, somehow, I discovered smiles
We're welcome any place;
So / began to smile-and folks
Forgot my funny face.

BLACK MAY NOT
 SEE PRESIDENT
Probably Will Assume His Duties as Justice of
 Supreme Court

washington. Sept. 20-- (UP) - President Roosevelt will have no 0p- portunity for Q face-to-face meeting with Associate Justice Hugo L. Black until after the first meeting of the new supreme court term, It developed today.
 The cour meets in the first fall term session Oct. 1. Mir. Roosevelt will not return from his western trip until Oct. 6 at the earliest The pres ident leaves on his Pacific coast tourney Wednesday and Justice Black is not due back from Europe until Q day or two before the new court term.
 This development assumed signi- ficance in view of Mir. Roosevelts statement that he would have no comment on the allegations that Black was, and Is, a member of the Ku Klux Klan until the new justice returns from Europe and is afford- ed an opportunity to examine the charges presented serially in arti- cles by the Pittsburgh Post- Gazette.
 whether Black will assume his high court seat for the courts first meet ing is not yet known.
 Two separate actions have been launched seeking to prevent his ser- vice. One, filed by Albert Levitt, for- mer justice department official, is 8 motion placed before the court con- tending Black is constitutionally in- eligible for the justiceship. The other is @ letter submitted to Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes contending that no vacancy existed on the high court to which Black could be ap- pointed.

 To Culhane On Radio Tonight

 The controller is expected to discuss city finances during the course of his talk. MT. Leary's speech tonight will be the first of 0 series of campaign broad casts sponsored by the Democratic town committee. Other candidates for office will be heard during the remainder of the campaign.
 Controller Leary is likewise ex. pected to give the administra- tons reply to Sen. George Gull, hane's radio address last Thurs day night. The following day Democratic chieftains charged MT. Culhane grossly distorted facts in his address, and said that his claim would be answered during the progress of the campaign.
 City controller for the past eight years, MT. Leary is also one of the states best known business men. An able and active cam- paigner, his address tonight will set the kelnote for the Demo- cratic campaign in the two weeks remaining before election day.

League members.
 It was noted that the Loyalists did not even obtain @ majority oi votes, much less the two-thirds that would have meant approval of hei candidacy and resulting automatic reelection to the council later to. day.
 Turkey had opposed spain's can. didacy, hoping herself for the coun- ell seat. But the assembly rejected Turkey also. She obtained 25 oi 50 votes cast, and thus failed oi two-thirds.
 Foreign Secretary Anthony Eder of Great Britain addressed the as. sembly after It's refusal to re-elect the Loyalist government to the council.
 Eden announced-for the benefit of those nations that might be con. sidering war-like steps-that Brit. ain now was building 450000 tons of new warships, costing G130, 900 ,00t ($650, ,000,000
 With this statement, he coupled OiiC COAAiiASliV VLltJ bLlC 0phlllSI civil war was pregnant with dang CT" for the peace of Europe.
 The policy of non-intervention ir the civil war, Eden asserted played the main part in prevent. ing European conflict"
 "The conflict has not spread be. yond the borders of Spain," he con- tinued, ~and may I be allowed tc add that such a consideration must be of greater oment for us all"
 He admitted that there had been wide beaches of agreement" He cited, as an instance, that large numbers of foreigners were fighting on Spanish soil and that attempts to effect their withdrawal had not yet succeeded.
 "If the policy of non-intervention is abandoned, he added, Europe will sweep into deeper and more dangerous waters"

 Very Much hcensed

Mir. Leary told him that he had only copied the order of listing as certified by the town clerk and secretary of state. The list of candi- dates, he said, had already gone to the printer.
 Epson Interested
 Next, Republican Town Chairman J. Warren Upson telephoned from Southbury to MT. Leary, also claiming a mistake. He asked that the printing of the lists be held up, but MT. Leary told him they had already gone to the printer.
 Over the weekend two Republi- can aldermen were asked to change places with MT. Kingston but both refused. But this step would have been intellectual since the lists were already certified.
 MT. Sciullo has shown in the past that he has city-wide vote-getting ability and is virtually certain of reelection. Of the l6 aldermanic nominees there will be 15 elected. Only the one with the lowest vote total will not be elected.
 Alderman Kingston's friends dc not believe that the order of rank ing was a mistake" but feel that ii was Q direct attempt to put him lon the spot" They have not yet been able to trace the mistake" te It's source.

 Court Order Only Hope
 The only course left to MT. King ston, long an ardent Republican, IS Q court order. Ills friends say they are ready to take this step, but It IS not believed that any court could order a change in the listing, since the order of candidates has been certified to both by Town Clerk Dora Egan, herself a Fusion candi- date, and Secretary of State Dr.. 0. John Satti.

nied that the embassy would be re- moved. However, the 55 British resi- dents were notified of the contents of the Japanese warning and advised to make their own arrangements.
 Germans in Conference
 The German embassy called a meeting of more than 100, Germans there to consider action. Japenese planes twice raided Nanking this morning, following two terrible raids yesetrday. Foreign military experts estimated that the Japenese would mobilize between 200 and 300 planes for the start of the real bombing campaign tomorrow. It was ex- pected to be the most terrible, the most merciless aerial attack ever made. Enraged at their almost con- plete failure to make progress against the Chinese army here in more than five weeks of fighting the Japanese decided to strike Nanking with the utmost force they could muster, as being the nerve center of the Chinese resistance.
 Midnight Is Deadllne
 Vice Admiral Kiyoshi Hasegawa, Japanese navy commander chief set noon tomorrow (midnight Mon- day, EDT) as the deadline after which Japenese planes would bomb the ancient city on an unprecedent- ed scale. First he warned all for eign authorities, through the Amer ican consulate general here, to get their citizens out of the capital. At the request of the japenese, the American consulate sent the warn Ing to all foreign consulates. An ur- gent report and request for instruc- tions was dispatched to the state department ct Washington. Hase- gawa followed his warning to for eigners with @ warning to all Chi- nese -combatants to evacuate Nanking, or to remain away from military" bases in the capital area.
 He disclaimed responsibility for any damage or casualties that might re. suit from disregard of his warning.
 Dread Announcement
 The dread announcement detract- ed attention almost completely from the battle here, where Chinese troops continued their challenge to the Japanese and matched them at. tack for attack on the battle line stretching northward from the city.
 A United Press survey showed that the .Jananese had maased a minimum of 200 planes here and on Formosa Island, 450 miles south of Shanghai.
 "They can blow Nanking of the map If they want to-" a foreign air force expert said.
 That the new attacks on Nanking would be frightful there seemed no

NURSES WALKED
 OUT ON ACCIDENT

Peabody, Mass, Sept. 20-(UP)- Two nurses who allegedly walked out" on the case of a five year old automobile victim must explain their action to Superintendent John Sul- livan of J. B. Thomas hospital.
 The nurses allegedly deserted little John Mahoney, Saturday night. con- tending that his was an insurance case" and that they would have to wait months for their pay.
 Sullivan admitted that both nurses and hospitals must wait one to three years for payment in automobile accident cases.
 Injuries suffered by the child when struck by 6 truck six weeks ago necessitated delicate stomach op- eration. Sullivan said the walk. out" did not imperil the boys con- dition since hospital stan members cared for him until other nurses volunteered.

 Both British and French sources while emphasizing that the cam paign against pirate" craft was now in full effect and would be main- tained, expressed belief that the visit of the British and French charges d'affaires to Count Galea2zo Ciano Italian foreign minister, yesterday might prove fruitful. The view both here and in Paris seemed to be that Italy had receded from It's stand that 1t would make no move to et- feet its inclusion in the patrol, and that on the basis If Ciano's statc- ments some program might prove possible.

2. Italy. He said that the powers had to end the piracy in the Medi- terranean as an urgent matter. He expressed regret that any nation should have been absent from the meeting and stressed that any sug- gestions which these nations-he meant Italy-might have to offer could still be made.
 3. Germany. He offered to dis cuss proposals for reduction of col- onial tariffs on reciprocal basis But he said that the colonial prob- lem Itself was not of prime import ance; that 0 world freed of fear was the thing to work for.
 On the third point, he offered in his governments behalf to nego- tiate @ treaty for reduction and limitation of arms.
 Spain's candidacy for the council was the assemblys first business.
 Spain Loses Vote
 It was necessary for the Loyalist government to obtain two-thirds vote in order to be a candidate for reelection. It obtained only g out of 47 votes and thus ceases to be a member of the council.
 Spanish Nationalists, here in force though they have no official standing, were jubilant at the Leagues rejection, holding 1t to be as important as a big military vic- tory in that, in great measure, the assembly's action was a repudiation of the Loyalist governments claim to be the sole legal, properly con- stituted authority in Spain.
 The rejection was interpreted as due partly to dissatisfaction of del- egates of some countries with the denunciation by Dr. Juan Negrin, Loyalist premier. of Italy and Ger many as aggressorS against the re- public.
 However, the main reason was dissatisfaction of the powerful La tin American bloc with the refugee situation in Spain, where Latin American embassies and legations had sought to evacuate thousands of refugees, sheltered in the embas- sies and legations, from Loyalist territory. These refugees were Na- tionalist sympathizers. Up to the hour of the assembly meeting, ef- forts were made vainly to obtain an agreement that would have won the support of the republics for the Loyalists.
 RepudiatiOn Of Spain
 Failure to approve the candidacy of the Loyalist regime constituted a repudiation. because Spain, though elected to the council only year by year, had been elected since 1928 on a "semi-permanent" basis. The understanding was that even though Spain was not officially a perma- nent council member like the Great powers, she would be continued in membership as the mother country of the Latin republics.
 For the next year at least, the Loyalists can attend council meet ings only when they are directly interested in a topic the council is discussing. They revert to ordin- ary status as one of the nearly three score governments who are

doubt. Time and again, Japanese squadrons had bombed the capital before, raining death on the civilian population. Twice yesterday Japan" csc planes bombed the city, and they wrecked their vengeance on eight other cities also for the audacity of the Chinese in resisting them.
 Different Opinions
 Some indication of the extent to which the Japanese planned to increase their bombing strength was indicated by their use of 46 planes in minor" raids on Nanking yester- day. The Japanese asserted that they shot down 26 Chinese planes. Chinese authorities, laughing ct this statement, said that only 18 of their planes were engaged and they of- fered to show the wreckage of six Japanese planes their planes shot down.
 The first news of the vengeance raids planned to start tomorrow when Japanese authorities warned that they intended to bomb Nan- king "in the most serious way in or- der to end hostilities as soon as pos. sible through destruction of China's chief war baBe"-236 miles up the Yangtze and about as far from the nearest fighting zone.
 Formal Warning Issued
 Then Admiral Hasegawa issued his formal warning:
 Tt being the objective of Japan csc operations to bring the present hostilities to an early conclusion by terminating the hostile acts of the Chinese forces, and Nanking being the principal base of Chinese mili- tary operations, the Japanese naval air force may after 12 o'clock noon September 2l, have to resort to such offensive measures as bombing the Chinese forces, as well as all estab. lishments pertaining to Chinese mil- itary operations and activities In and around Nanking.
 Tt does not need reiteration thai the safety of lives and property oj nationals of friendly powers will bt taken fully into consideration dur. ing the projected offensive"
 Tientsin, China, Sept. 20-(UP)-- Japanese troops frightened lines around 10000 Chinese soldiers trapped in the forests southwest of Chochow today and prepared for a major drive as far south as the Yel- low river.
 Japanese military authorities claimed that the Chinese were in full retreat from Chochow, 36 miles southwest of Peiping, after 0 crush- ing defeat along the Peiping- Han kow railway.
 The 10000 Chinese soldiers alleg- edly trapped were reported in the center of giant "pincers" between
