CContinued from Page D statement was made public from Mao Tse-Tung, political chieftain of the Chinese communist army now the 9th route army. Issued at his headquarters in the war north- west the statement urged complete change in Chinese strategy--from passive resistance to active attack and the massing of every able bodied man and woman in the country to fight. He promised the loyal sup port of the communists to the army but said that 1t was the govern ment army which must win the vlc- tory.
 Fleets Are Combined
 The Japanese here announced the coalition of the second and third Japanese battle fleets into @ new China seas fleet under Admiral Kiyoshi Hasegawa, navy commander In chief at Shanghai.
 Tn announcing It's abandonment of Ranking, the government selected as It's headquarters Chungking, which becomes the emergency capi- tai of China as from today. Chung king IS 775 miles up the Yangtze river toward the west. But for the present 1t is planned to conduct key departments at Hankow, 275 miles up the river from Nanklng.
 American Ambassador Nelson T. Johnson and members of his staff were expected to leave at any hour in the Luzon, flagship of Rear Ad- miral E. J. Marquart, commanding the Yangtze river patrol of the U. s. navy.
 Johnson arranged to leave two secretaries, George Acheson, Jr, and J. Hall Paxton, in charge of the embassy at Ranking, awaiting an expected Japanese drive.
 Most of the 57 Americans at Man. king, including 19 women and one child, planned to join the evacua- ton. Some have left. Some were due to go aboard the Luzon; others intended to go to Hankow or come eastward to Shanghai.
 Evacuation General
 Evacuation continued by boat, railroad train, motor car, horse drawn cart and afoot. Most govern- ment buildings were empty. Only & few, in which a skeleton staff was maintained for the present, showed sign of activity. Most high officials remained, despite the closing of their ministries. Thousands of troops marched through the city-fresh troops eastward from the Kwangsi, Sechuan and Canton areas, on their way to the front, and exhausted troops, relieved from the Shanghai front, on their way west to rest.

MANY SENATORS FAVOR REPEAL

(COntlnueQ IrOm rage U Roosevelt's order for an investiga. ton of monopoly by the Federal Trade Commission, Senator Joseph 0. oMahoney, Democrat, wyoming, said 1t was "ahsurd" that our eco- homie system should "go into a tailspin when few men in the financial circles of New York City get the pitters."
 The possibility Of tax action at the special session continuel doubt full in view of the difficulties of preparing amendments and the administrators opposition.
 The 35 Senators who favor repeal rather than modification as pro- posed by the administration - Of the profits tax measure were with a few exceptions for action at the special session rather than early next year. Almost every senator favored modification of the tax.
 Filibuster Is Victor
 The Senate filibuSter against the anti -lynching bill was virtually as- sured of an immediate victory by the opening of debate Tuesday on the farm bill.
 A hurriedly-prepared farm Dill be offered the Senate Monday by the Agriculture committee. Although Majority Leader Alben W. Barkley, Democrat, Kentucky, predicted ac- ton within @ week, 1t was generally believed the crop control proposals would require long debate.
 Action on the wages and hours bill, tied Up in the House, and on the government reorganization bill, bite terly opposed by Republicans and q strong Democratic bloc, appeared far-removed.
 Senators favoring repeal Of the profits tax included:
 Austin, R., vt.; Bridges, R. N. H.; Gerry, D., R l.; Gibson, R, Vt; Hale, R., Me-; Lodge, R., Mass; and White, R., Me.

 He was asked If any of the plan ned zoning changes would affect the Bund camp in any manner.
 "The zoning Is not with any de- sign to affect the property bought by the organization you Ilame," he replied.
 Coer Takes Issue
 MT. Coer took issue with a report in the Waterbury Republican that: "One prominent citizen, who with held his name said, I cannot imagine that the meeting will ad- journ without some expression of sentiment about the camp. We are all too much aroused about 1t to let such an opportunity as e town meet ing pass without registering e pro- test-a violent one, I hopel
 No official of Southbury made that statement" he remarked. There is no fuss here about the camp only what we read in cer- tain newspapers. If some folks want to be indignant about what someone tells them they should be indignant about, that's their busi- ness. But 1t doesn't concern the town"
 Required by Law
 MT. Cocr explained the zoning com- mission program, saying, that the the board, as required by law, will have five members and that there will be, also Q board of appeals with 6 like membership. He agreed with one paragraph in the Waterbury Republican, which quoted him as follows:
 "'To say that the motive of the meeting is anything else (than to form 6 zoling commission) . would be libel. The move to create such c commission has no connec. ton whatever with the German camp"
 SeIectmen Agree

WILD CAT STRIKES
 CAUSE TROUBLE
Continued from Page D

Continued from Page D today in an effort to dissuade the members from violating the General Motors Union agreement.
 Strike threats were made also irl Lansing, Mich. and union leaders there called meeting today at which @ vote may be taken. Martin planned to address workers there Sunday.
 The Pontiac strike made l4,72l workers idle-inore than 5000 in the Fisher plant and more thar 5000 in the Pontiac motor car fac- tory, which was forced to close because of @ body shortage.
 Approximately 500 union members occupied the Fisser plant, and their leaders asserted that the strike would Hast longer than the sitdown strike in General Motors plants last winter.
 Left Mothers Bedside
 Martin left his mothers bedside in Goreville, Ill.,, to hasten here in an effort to prevent the rank and file union men from serving the coltrcatual relations between the union and the General Motors Cor poration.
 A third attempt by union officials to end the Pontiac strike failed early today. The strikers had voted early yesterday to continue their sit-down, and today they were equipped with costs and blankets for what their leaders said would be a Hong siege"
 Refusal of the strikers to heed the appeals of the unions international officers brought from William & Knudsen, General Motors president an assertion that "irresponsibility on the part of the locals, unauthor- ized strikes and the deflnance of union officials will eventually make agreements valueness and collective bargaining impossible in practice" Rank, File, Disobcy The corporation had declared that further negotiations for revision of its contract with the union hinged an a pledge that "wild cat' strikes would be prohibited and those rec sponsible would be punished. Martin made such Q pledge, but the rank aid file members ignored 1t.
 Of the Pontiac situation, Kund- sen said:
 "The General Motors Corporation finds itself in the position of being held up on the plant operations by minority of the employees in the plant refusing to recognize the ex- isting agreement and openly defying the officers of their own union.
 "This is regretable, not only be- cause 1t ignores the agreement It. self. but because 1t throws out of work the larger number of people who are not in sympathy with the move, who do not want to lose time and are not involved in the parti- cular dispute"

Their the new appointees should come
from the bench or from the bar. The
friends of the judges are insisting that
the new appointees should come from
the bench, while the supporters of the
attorney candidates maintain that the
two new justices should come from
the bar.
Both From The Bar
If Governor Hoey should now ap-
point Seawell and Winborne to the
Supreme Court, both would be from
the bar, since neither have ever been
judges. It is agreed that these two
appointments would undoubtedly
bring growl, if not howl, from
the judges and their friends who are
convinced that all or most of the Su-
preme Court judges should be select
ed from those who have already serv-
ed as judges in the lower courts On
the other hand, the appointment of
two attorneys instead of two judges
can be depended upon to win strong
approval from thousands of lawyers
who believe that the new justices
should come from the ranks of the
practicing attorneys rather than from
the bench. a.
Would open Way For Drive
1t is readily agreed that the ap-
pointment of Seawell to the Supreme
Court would pave the way beautifully
for the appointment of Olive as at
torney general and thus make it pos
S1ble fOES the governor to hand out
very d&4ifable plums to both Olive
and Winborne-both of who have
been regarded by good many as
wantingAthe western Supreme Court
appointment, Still another factor in
volved IN fhis arrangement, it is
pointed out, is that with Olive as the

would have} the privilege of naming

might be retained, if Olive should be-
come attorney general-and then
they might not. There is little doubt
that there would be plenty of seek
ers af-er these two assistant attorney
generalships.
But since the two new appointees
to the State Supreme Court will not
take office until July 1, the appoint
ments are not expected to be made
much in advance of that date, with
the result that those seeking the ap-
pointments are likely to remain in a
state of uncertainty for several
months yet. And until Governor Hoey
does make his appointments, no one
will know for sure just who will be
named to what. s..

way why should not Economist Stod-

at least one merit-novelty, so far as

But it is no discredit to him that
he is not recognized expert vet;

labor
"In slack periods, when the earning
power of each is reduced, there is less

the natural trend will be toward low

THE WORLD WAR DAY-BY-DAY

20 Years Ago Today-The govern
ment in London gave to the press of
fetal statement denying assertions
made in Berlin that the British had
concealed the losses of Allied and 9th
er shipping during the first two weeks
of the German submarine blockade
had been in effect. The statement
minimized the effects of the COM
paign.
Actually, as we know now, the block
ade almost brought Britain to it's
knees.
Yet she was still capable of max
ing matters even worse for Germany.
On this date, new sea regulations were
announced, tightening the blockade
of the the Central Powers to a point
of almost complete isolation. It was
the most drastic step Britain has ever
taken on the sea. Scandinavian coun-
tries were affected greatly, since they
were unable to trade with Germany
without the risk of seizure of cargoes
and ships. AS Germany's submarine
blockade prevented them from trading
with England and her allies, they were
shut off on all sides.
AS Col. E. M. House wrote later,

tor in bringing about Germanys de-

her! Another proxy wedding.
