SPANISH PLANES
 SINK TWO SHIPS
British, French Vessels Hit By Bombs During
 Coastal Raids
BY HARRISON LAROCHE United Press Staff CorrespOndent)

Hendaye, French-Spanish From tier, June 9-SpaniSh national air planes sank a British merchantmen and French merchantmen in raids last night. with the loss of two Brit ish and three French lives, loyalist dispatches said today.
 A Madrid dispatch reported that a British officer of the international on-international patrol named Ed Bulloch and three French Seamen were killed aboard an unidentified French vessel at Denia, on the Mediterranean coast between Valen- cia and Alicante. The ship blazed furously off the port, the dispatch said, as the bombs set fire to it.
 The British steamship Isidora was reported bombed and sunk by na- tionalist planes, but without casual ties. at CaStellon de la Plana, above Valencia.
 First reports were that Isidora $ engine room was blown out and the ship severely damaged. Later reports said that the ship sank.
 (Lloyd's register lists a steamship Isadora, 1912 tons. of Belfast, but no ISidora).
 Despite mounting evidence of Brit aims anger at the bombing of her ships, and growing international anxiety over casualties to civilians, the nationalists continue their at tacks on loyalist costal towns.
 Nine airplanes, described officially as Italian Savoias, dripped more than 100 explosive and incendiary bombs yesterday on Figueras, F miles from the French frontier. ThirtJ were known killed, loyalist dispatches said, and 25 buildings Q school, an Old Folks home and a hospital were destroyed. Et was feared that American wounded of the loyalist interna- tional brigade were among the vic- timS.

Want Flexible Wage Standard in Wages,
 Hours Measure
COMPROMISE DOESN'T
 MEET WITH APPROVAL
Senator Claude Pepper of Florida is Leading Re-
 volt Against Bill

Washington, June g. -
 (UP) - Seventeen southern senators today issued an ulti- matum asserting that they would filibuster against the Wages-Hours bill unless a flexible wage standard is pro- vided. The southern group charged that the compromise provision agreed upon by Senate and House conferees did not provide sufficient hexibility in reaching the Accent standard to meet southern demands.
 The ultimatum demanded that no flat wage standard of more than 25 cents an hour be included in the bill and that the administrator of the proposed new act be allowed dis cretion in raising industry standards to the goal of 40 cents an hour.
 Objectionable Compromise
 The compromise to which the southern bloc objected provides 25- cent minimum immediately. A 30- cent minhnum the second year, fol- lowed by five years in which wages between 30 and 40 cents an hour would be recommended by industry boards and placed in effect by the administrator of the act. Seven years from now the Accent standard would become universal unless an industry could show that this wage level would reduce employment op- portunities.
 Sen. Claude Pepper, D., Fla, whose renomination in the Florida primary prompted the drive to revive the wage-hour bill, led in the revolt. He insisted that the agree ment of conferees violated southern demands for flexibility and raised a serious question of constitutional ity by fixing a Accent minimum by statute regardless of diversified con- ditions in industry throughout the country.
 Sen. Allen J. Ellender, D., La., said that the southerners were ready to talk at length on the Wage-hour

LOST IN WOODS, AGED MAN FOUND
Recovering From Ordeal; Unable to Move or Talk
 For More Than a Day
Special to The Democrat

South Britain, June 9-Display- ing amazing vitality for a man his years, Benjamin Franklin Rowland, 89-year old Waterbury title-search- CT, was recovering today from the ordeal of spending more than two days without food or shelter in the dense Flag Swamp area along the Roxbury town line. Found at 6 o'clock last night after searcherS had virtually given him up for dead, he is responding satisfactorily to care at the home of his niece, Mrs. Elliott Bradley, in this town.
 Missing since Monday afternoon, MT. Rowland was found by Con- stable Edward A. Scoville, Jr., after state police and townspeople had combed through miles of woods. Weak and helpless, MT. Rowland was found at the foot of an en- bankment along an old road through the woods. Searchers, he said later, had been within a few feet of him as he lay exhausted, Uuu llC Ndo IO GO and they failed to see him.
 MT. Howland's only nourishment for more than 52 hours was some rain water which 4le slipped from puddles. He was drenched to the skin, in Tuesday nights heavy storm, and spent the night hud- dled in rough bed of leaves.
 After locating MT. Rowland, Con- stable Scoville had to return to his car, parked several miles away. then drove to the home of Charles Woolson to notify authorities. Troopers Anton Nelson and Will liam ToWne of the Beacon Falls barracks and Trooper John Murphy of the Ridgefield barracks returned with Constable Scoville. They brought MT. Rowland to the home of his niece, and Dr. Howard AL

Senator Lonergan Is Sure Differentiation
State Democratic Leaders Behind His Candidacy; Independent Stand in Politics Bound to Be Asset
 in Campaign For Reelection

Senator Augustine Lonergan's place on the Democratic ticket this fall when he seeks reelection is se- cure so far as the principal leaders of the Democratic party in this state are concerned. But whether they will join in active support of this candidacy depends on neces- sity not now apparent.
 Swiftly following announcement of the designs of Archibald McNeil, of Bridgeport, towards the Loner- gan spot on the ticket came the Iowa primaries. These showed that the New Deal sanctions of candidates are not what they used to be, those of the last time voters swept President Roosevelt back in- to office.
 Now the state leaders find them selves confronted by peculiar combination in the veteran Loner- gan. Not only has he voted as an independent" to the extent that the New Dealers eye him with oOuUI, UuU 1lEo SdhlpoiSllo, UllC ldSl and those in the years when he was elected to the House of Repre- sentatives, have been of the inde- pendent variety.
 He has not been, ill the strictest sense, a candidate who subscribed completely to the dictates of his party here. Nevertheless, this same independence has won him strong position with the voters and the Connecticut Democrats are we'll aware of his appeal as congress- man who votes for that which his judgment directs he should choose, regardless of party lines.
 While aware that Senate" Loner- gan will probably seek re-nomina- ton along independent lines" a spokesman for the Democratic con- mand said today that the senator can expect the general support of the party should there be question of any real opposition. The prospect

BOMBS HIT NEAR FOREIGN AREA
Americans, Nationals in Danger as Jap Bombard=
 ment Continues

Canton, China, June 9-UP)- Shrapnel fragments from Japanese airplane bombs struck in Shameen today, endangering Americans and other Nationals on the little for eign-quarter island in the Canton River facing the city water front.
 Fragments struck perilously close to the Victoria Hotel, center for foreign residents.
 Four Japanese airplanes began the daily bombardment of the city at 10 a. m. They concentrated in the Wongsha suburb and other out lying quarters.
 Casualties were unusually light because of the continued evacuation of townSpeople from the city.
 Big incendiary bombs had struck, thudding softly in Canton streets 400 yards from Sameen in a moon- light bombardment last night. Flames flashed up from many fires, and great pillows of black smoke moved over the city as the fires spread from house to house. Fire men and reScuers worked openly by the light of the fires and the flares which the Japanese aviators- parachuted down to aid them in their destruction.
 Anticipating a bombing campaign against Hankow, the emergency Chinese capital, as terrible as that against Canton, government au- thorities sent policemen from house to house today, urging residents to flee. Authorities hoped to evacuate 300,ea0 people from Hankow. But the people were reluctant. Busi- nessmen feared ruin; the poor feared starvation.
 The Japanese speeded up their drive on the central front, striking westward toward the Peiping Han kow railroad as a preliminary tc driving directly down the railroad on HankoW.
 Chinese military spokesmen ad- mitted that the Japanese troops | were within five miles of the rail- road north of Hsuchang and 45 miles south of Chengchow, junction point of the Peiping- HankoW line i and the east-west Lunghai rail- road.
 It appeared that the Chinese were offering stout resistance, and

JURY PROBE IN WATERBURY IS AT STANDST|LL Decision in Bridgeport on Jury May Have Effect
 Locally LOCAL JURY TO
 RESUME ON TUESDAY Alderman Gets Part of Bond Back-egislatOrs
 Due to Surrender

Matters pertaining to the Waterbury Extraordinary Grand Jury were apparently at a standstill today as Judge Alfred c. Baldwin considered the legality of the procedure followed here and in Bridge port; allowing the presence of the States Attorney, his assistants and a stenogra- pher in the grand jury room. Counsel for Leroy c. Kemp, indicted by the Merritt Parkway grand jury presented the question yesterday to Judge Baldwin and the latter IS now giving it due con- sideration.
 The question to be decided by Judge Baldwin is whether an ac- cuSed is placed at an unfair ad- vantage in his own defense by rea- son of the knowledge gained by the prosecutors in the jury room. Judge Baldwin's decision will be highly important to the local grand jury as well as to the Bridgeport body.
 Resume Tuesday
 The local jury will return to its investigations next Tuesday to take up the probe of the last city elec- ton. Groundwork for this probe has already been started.
 Simon J. Alderman today receiv- ed $2,500 of his $10,0O0 bond from Clerk George H. Freeman of su- perior court. He was arrested on recommendation ,of the grand jury and originally posted the $10,OOO bond for release, but Judge fnglis reduced the bond to $7,500. He appeared in court with his counsel today

The Neighbor Next Door
My next door neighbor is a pleasant
soul
She thinks of just the incest things
to do,
The lending of a book she's read and
liked,
A bit of praising when I'm rather
blue.
My neighbor is a friendly little
thing
She leans against my kitchen sink,
and chats
About play, or Einstein, or dress,
Or twits me on my latest choice
in hats.
My neighbor always has an hour or so,
For all she's such a busy person
To listen to my weeps and walls about
The things never find the time to
do.
She chirps me up; she scolds little
too,
And sets me soon rejoicing on my
way.
My next door neighbor, as you well
may see,
Is one big splash of sunshine in my
day!

Lady Slipper-State Flower of
Minnesota.

Aduy -SIlppCT-StdtC VlOWCT OI
Minnesota.
The State Flower of Minnesota is
the snowy pink and white Lady's-
Slipper, or Moccasin Flower. Women
of the st. Anthony Study Cir
Gle, through Mrs. E. G. Chatfield of
Minneapolis, found that the Calce-
olaria, adopted as the floral emblem
in February, 1892, was not found in
Minnesota; so as result, the Legis-
lature in 1902 designated the Reginae
as the state flower. The popular
names are the Lady's-Slipper, Moe
casin Flower, and Indian Shoe These
names refer to the almost shoe-like
form of the most conspicuous petal of
the flower
The Moccasin Flower prefers cool
and moist woods and grows vigorously
in boys. The flowers appear from
May to July. Six species of the Moe
casin Flower are found in Minnesota.
In this state 1850 species of flow
ering plants and ferns grow unculti-
waited. In the Minnesota river basin
alone grow no less than LIZA wild
Towering plants.
Among all of these the Moccasin
flower holds the distinction of having
been selected as the state floral en-
blem. This action was taken as a
result of the efforts of the Woman's
Auxiliary, Board of Worlds Fair
Manager, about half a century ago.
Minnesota was the first state to
select a state floral emblem.
