SENATORS BAND
TO FIGHT BLACK.

G.N.SJ. A small but militant
minority of the Senate today 0r.
ganized a fight to block conf,rma.
ton of Senator Hugo L. Black,
Alabama Democrat, as Associate
Justice of the Supreme Court.
The opposition to Black centered
about the contention that the Con.
stitution disqualifies him from &C.
cepting the appointment. This
was brushed aside by Administra.
ton leaders, who declared polls
disclosed an overwhelming major.
ity would vote to confirm.
The constitutional issue was
raised first by Senator Borah (RJ
OF Idaho, who declared no vacancy
existed on the court despite retire,
ment of Associate Justice Willis
Van Devanter. He insisted Van
Devanter remained an Associate
Justice despite his retirement.
, Senators Austin (R.), of Ver-
mont, and Burke CD, of Ne
braska. raised the issue that the
retirement act inferentially en-.
larged the Supreme Court men,
bership to nine justices and de-
clared this constituted creation Of
new offices.
A third contention is that the
"emoluments" of the office were
increased by the retirement act,
thereby barring Black from the
appointment.

Dead In Horror
By M. C. FORD

SHANGHAI, Aug. IA
(LN.S.). Hug e incen-
diary aerial bombs ripped
into the heart of Shang-
hal today, killing and
wounding hundreds of ma
tives and snuffing out the
lives of at least three
Americans.
The appalling death toll of
bombs dropped from Chinese
airplanes and carried far out
of range by the winds Of a
typhoon that roared in from
the China Sea was estimated
by police of the French con-
cession as at least 456.
This number lost their lives, and
another S28 were wounded when
bombs wrecked the intersection
of Avenue Edward VII and the
Tibet Road, one of the busiest
corners in the city. International
Settlement police estimated the
deaths in another bombing on
busy Nanking Road at so, with an
additional rs injured seriously.
RECORD SHATTERED
If these figures are substanti-
ated, the day-long shelling, which
turned this teeming waterfront
metropolis into a bloody battle
field. will have set a new high
record for the killing of civilians
by clashing armies anywhere in
the world.
The Americans reported killed
were DR.. Frank Joseph RawlinSon,
missionary from Baltimore, Md;
Hubert Sylvan Honigsberg, San
Francisco banker, and DR.. Robert
Reischauer of Princeton Univer-
sity.
First reports said DR.. Rawlin-
sons daughter also was killed in
the explosion, but investigation
disclosed she had escaped.
NIGHT BATTLE RACES
Japanese and Chinese aerial,
naval and land forces cooperated
to wreak death and destruction
on this Paris of the Orient. Hos
tilities were continued unabated
throughout the night, with the In
ternational Settlement, with its
1000 American residents, so men
aced by falling shells that all
guests were evacuated from the
de luxe Palace and Cathay hotels,
and wholesale exodus from the
city was considered by foreign au-
thorities.
The Chinese bombers were at
tempting to sink the Japanese
flagship Idzumo, anchored in the
Whangpoo River off the Bund.
With the warship'S powerful anti
aircraft guns trained upon them.
the Chinese airmen flew at high
altitude over the busy river, with
the result that many of the bombs
they dropped were carried inland
by the wind to spell tragedy and
desolation in the city.

AIRPORT BILL
Provides for Filling
In Of Lagoon

Substitution of the Senate bill
for the House bill enlarging the
Washington Airport was author
lied today by the Senate Com
merce Committee.
Senator Royal S. Copeland CD
of New York, chairman of the
committee, was authorized to make
the substitution.
He announced that If the bill
comes up on the calendar this
afternoon he will make the subSti-
tuition from the floor. Otherwise
the committee will report it Mon
day.
BILLS PROVISIONS
The House bill provides for turn
ing Military Road over to the air
port corporation for Is years. The
corporation in turn would paw Ar
lington county 5000 to build
substitute road which would not
interfere with the enlarged flying
field.
The measure also authorizes
the Secretary If Agriculture to ne.
gotiate a lease of SIS acres Of the
Arlington Experimental Farm to
the airport to be added to its pres
ent acreage.
The Senate bill contains a SINH
lar stipulation with respect to the
experimental farm, except that it
provides for a lease at the rate of
dollar a year.
LEASES ROAD
It leases Military Road to the
airport for so years instead of Is
years, also at dollar a year, and
the airport corporation would be
required to pay the county $25, 900
for a new road as in the House bill.
The Senate bill makes a major
change, however, in authorizing
the Airport corporation to fill in
the lagoon mordering the flying
field, to provide for additional run
ways.
