Chinese Battle Japs With Floods Guns
BRITISH PREMIER IS JEERED
WHEN COMMONS TOLD NATION
POWERLESS IN SHIP ATTACKS
Cries Of "Shame" From
Labor Section Echo Coun-
try's Resentment
BY CLIFFORD L. DAY
United Press Staff Correspondent

LONDON, June 15.-UP)-
Prime Minister Neville Chamber
lain was jeered in the house of
commons yesterday when he an
nounced that the government, fac
ing the risk of war, is powerless
to retaliate against repeated
bombings and sinkings of British
merchant ships in Spanish ports.
Rather than be drawn into the
conflict, he said, the government
is warning British ships that they
must enter ports in the Spanish
war zones at their own risk and
can not rely on protection of the
guns of the British navy.
Cries of "Shame! Shamew from
members of the laborite opposi-
ton, echoing nationwide resent
ment against the governments
failure to take drastic action
against the Spanish nationalists,
greeted Chamberlain's announce
ment. e.
Detailed examination by his
majesty's government has shown
that effective protection can not
be guaranteed to ships trading
with ports in the war zone while
they are in (Spanish) territorial
waters unless this country is pre-
pared to take an active part in
the hostilities," Chamberlain said
gravely.
at is the opinion of his majes-
ty's government that 1t would not
be Justified in recommending
such a course which might well
result in spread of the conflict
far beyond the present limits"
The prime minister, facing re-
newed attacks on his policy of
"realistic" dealings with Europe's
dictators as result of % attacks
on British merchant ships in
Spanish waters since mid-April,
denied that he was "acquiescing"
to the bombing forays Of insur-
gent planes.
"You are! You areP' laborites

House GROUP
GIVES Lewis
STIFF REBUFF
Amendments CLIO. Chief
Made Political Issue
Are Killed
By HARRY WILSON SHARPE
Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, June Is. CUP
Committee for Industrial Organ
ization Generalissimo John l..
Lewis suffered his most stunning
rebuff of the present COMPRESSION
al session yesterday when the
powerful house rules committee
killed amendments to the Walsh
Healey act which Lewis on Mon
day made a political issue.
The committee tabled the meas
ure. repeatedly by a vote of 9 to
3. and thus challenged Lewis to
do his worst.
The action killed the bill for
this session unless, it can be
brought up under suspension of
the rules which would require a
two-thirds vote for passage. House
leaders said they had no plans to
this effect.
Lewis, accompanied by four
lieutenants. including Lieut.. Gov.
Thomas Kennedy of Pennsylvania,
charged into the capitol yesterday,
took possession of Speaker Will
liam B. Bankhead's office, and
brought direct pressure on house
leaders and committee members
to give the bill clearance so the
house cold vote on it.
The bushy-browed labor chief
tain used strong language, tenor
of which was that dissident con-
gressmen could expect C. |. o. re-
taliation in the fall elections. Ken
nedy was present as living illus
tration of the c. |. O.'s political
power. He was supported by
Lewis in the recent Pennsylvania
gubernatorial primary and, while
ne lost, polled tremendous vote.
Chairman John J. O'Connor, D.,
N. Y, hastily called the commit.
tee together but members refused
to be panicked and agreed to de-
Law the vote until today.
None would talk for publication
after this mornings session but II
was understood an overwhelming
desire to spank Lewis publicly toi
his unprecedented tactics lnfia'

Hendersonville Groups Pleased
With Progress Made At North
Mills River Recreation Area
Kiwanis Directors Hold
June Meeting at New
Camp Site

Directors of the Kiwanis club
held their June meeting last night
at the former CCC camp on North
Mills river, where development Of
a recreation area is nearing COM
pletion as a federal work prof.
ect.
With Judge R. Il. Station as
host the club officers and direc-
tors arrived early, inspected the
area with its provisions for swim,
ming, picnicking, camping and
playing, and then ate a sumptu-
Gus dinner cooked on camp stoves.
Later, huge bonfire provided a
background for a social session,
with wives of several Kiwanians
as guests.
Members of the Euzelean class
of the Baptist Sunday school, with
their husbands, also were at the
camp for a picnic, and the two
groups Joined impromptu around
the bonfire in a council ring
which seats 100 persons.
Progress made in developing
the recreation area was a revel-
alton to the visitors. Already
a pool that possesses the informal
beauty of an "ole swimmin' hole" "
and is deeper, purer and larger
than most of them, invites lovers
of water sport. Last Sunday more
tban 700 nersons visited the area
for sightseeing, picnics and play.
Although the center was not COM
pletely developed last summer,
more than 5000 persons enjoyed
its facilities.
Situated five miles to the west
of the Haywood road at Mills RIv-
err, and a distance Of ID miles
from Hendersonville, this forest
playground covers almost 30
acres. Half of the plot is now
ready for visitors and is equipped
with laurel-enclosed trailer sites,
parking space for 95 cars, numer-
Gus fireplaces and tables for pic
nickers, tent sits, a dam which
spans North Mills river, forming q
swimming pool, and the council
ring made Of hewn logs.
All of this is available free to
residents and visitors to Western
North Carolina.
Construction is now under way

DRIVE TO WIN
BLACKL,lSTING
Leaders Still Hoping for
Adjournment by
Midnight
TANGLE UNS0LVED
BULLETIN

| oSkA6 AN
WASHINGTON, June Is. CUP.
House Speaker William B. Bank
head this afternoon blocked John
L. Lewis efforts to bring the
blacklist amendment to Walsh
Healey act to the house floor by
stating fatty that he would not
cooperate in the plan.
WASHINGTON, June Is. (UP)
! A senate filibuster and q new
eleventh-hour drive by John L.
Lewis for the blacklisting of gov.
eminent contract holders who vio-
late the Wagner act today threat
ened congressional adjournment
plans.
Leaders still hoped to bring the
18th congress to an end by mid
night tonight.
However, the new and unex-
pected developments contained
serious threats of delay.
Lewis arrived. at the capitol to
confer. with House Speaker Will
liam B. Bankhead, seeking agree
ment on way to bring the black
list amendment to the Walsh
Healey bill to the floor.
Meanwhile, Senator Joseph c.
O'Mahoney ID, Wyo.) resumed
the senate filibuster against the
1915, 100000 flood control con-
ference report.
Protests against provisions of
the flood control bill wrecked the
program Of leaders last night and
kept the senate. in session until
1882 a. m, EST, in angry de-
bate. A. -; ~
If that controversy can be ad-
justed, the third session Of the
18th congress probably will end
before midnight. The senate has
been summoned to meet at 10 q.
M, EST, today in the leadership's
speed-up drive for adjournment.
The house, taking adj ournment
hurdles in ito stride, stopped work
six minutes before midnight and
will not resume until noon. -
Senate uproAr conferred around
q provision inserted in the 1915.
600, 900 flood control bill by SEN
ate Majority Leader Alben w.
Barley d., Ky.). It was accept
ed by the senate on first consid-
Grafton without arousing much
interest and the house agreed to
the Barley provision without
prolonged debate. But when the
bill was brought up last night for
final senate action 1t was chal-
lenged by q handful Of Republic
cans and Democrats - an unwar-
ranted invasion Of states rights.
The senate stumbled into that
unexpected controversy after con-
gress finally had enacted wage
hours legislation, strapped plans
for emergency assistance to rail-
roads, and carried the $685.
100000 recovery-relief bill al
most to final passage. Final action
on only four major bills now is
delaying the last gavel tap.
There were indications as the
flood control-state's rights con-
troversy developed that several
senator's planned to assail the pro-
visions Of the Barley amend
ment to the bill. The disputed
paragraphs would give the gov
eminent possession Of all titles to
dams, reservoirs, electrical power
rights and other developments I'M
der the bill, provided that the
government would assume all
costs of financing the projects.
