 LOSE PETITION

Philadelphia, Aug. 15.-(UP).- Especial Master Howard Benton Lewis today recommended that a petition of two Stamford, Conn.,, bondholders, asking dismissal of the Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron company's reorganization plan, be refused.
 It was the second time that Lewis had recommended dismissal Iof the petition, renewed after a previous unsuccessful attempt.
 Joseph K. Sherman and Sydney lC. Perell, Stamford attorneys, had contended that the company's re- Organization plan was mot feasible and not fair"

Officers from Oklahoma, Louisiana, Texas and Arkansas be- lieved they had Hamilton and Wal ters surrounded in this area yes- terday, but 24-hour search failed to disclose their hiding place.

The 10-mile area in which 100 officers were concentrat- ed today is covered with trees and dense undergrowth.

U. s. CONSIDERS
 ALASKAN BASE
 FOR AIR FLEET
Next Congress May Get Request to Vote
 Appropriation
BY GRATTAN McGROARTY United Press StaR Correspondent)


 Washington, Aug. IS - (U.P) - President Roosevelt, on the recom- mendation of high navy officials, may ask congress next session for an appropriation to start develop ment of powerful fleet air base in Alaska to complete this coun- try's Pacific aerial frontier"
 The proposed Alaskan base, long desired by the Navy Department, theoretically would give the United States complete domination of the air over a 2,000-mile stretch of water from the Aleutians to the Hawaiian Islands. establishing a battle theater nearly 2,500 miles from the American west coast in event of Pacific war.
 Sitka, Alaska, was officially de- signated a fleet air base more than three years ago, but development has been exceedingly slow and at present it will accommodate only six or seven airplanes. The proposed new base would probably be on Kodiak Island and the Navy De- partment is anxious to make 1t the equal of such powerful stations as Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, and Coco Solo, Panama Canal Zone.
 Strategy Board Named
 A board of navy strategy experts was appointed recently to study necessity for new naval shore sta- tons, and 1t is understood that the Alaskan question is being given spe- cial consideration.
 Some ranking navy officers are convinced that this country should have naval fueling and repair base in Alaska, also, and it probable that this will be studied closely in connection with the proposed air base. At the same time, the War De- partment has tentative plans for fortification of some of the Aleutian Islands with long range coast de- fense guns. Both of these latter pro- jects would require huge expendi- lures and in all probability will not be undertaken until the fleet air base Is completed if at all.
 However, the recent dispatch of 66 navy patrol planes for maneuvers in the Alaskan area is generally regard ed here as an indication of immi- nent improvement of the Alaskan defense system. This was the largest number of navy patrol planes ever sent to Alaska for summer maneu- vers. The maneuvers are scheduled to be concluded during the first week in August after which the planes will return to their base at San Diego, Cal.
 Kodiak Inlet Sheltered
 Some naval experts do not con- sider Sitka ideally located for fleet air base and are urging its abandonment except as pos sible advance or auxiliary base in favor of the Kodiak site, located in a sheltered inlet, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is likely that Dutch Harbor also may be designated as an advance air base.
 The strategic importance of Alaska in the United States na- tional defense system is rapidly increasing due mainly to the grow ing flying range of airplanes. Military experts point out that the entire northwest and Pacific coast industrial sections of the United States could be wiped out by enemy aircraft carriers from an choring in northern waters from which they could launch an attack on the Pacific coast.

CIO WILL FIGHT
 TELEGRAPH co.

Washington, Aug. 15.-(UP).-The Committee for Industrial Organiza- tion prepared today to fight the alleged plans of the two major tele- graph companies to use the new wages and hours law as an excuse for wage cuts CIO Director John Brophy charged that the Western Union and Postal Telegraph com panies planned to make a general wage reduction of 8.3 per cent af- fecting 75,000 workers as soon as the new law becomes effective, Oct. 24.
 He said that the telegraph con- panies intended to use this method of compensating for cutting the hours of their employees to A per week-the maximum permitted for interstate industries during the first year of the fair labor standards act.
 If the reported plan succeeds, he said, "this may well be the opening wedge for other industries to take similar action"

stamp out Chinese-Japanese ter. rorism, particularly involving the Japenese Special service branch" of propagandists. There were indica- tions that the Japanese army was planning firmer stand in support of the prapagandists-armed plain clothesmen who have been filtered through the British and American defense sectors to theaten Chinese and disturb literature denouncing the Chin ese national government.
 The volunteer corps of the settle ment was demoblized, but all fore- ign troops were given strict orders to shoot to kill anyone failing to submit to 8 search, and to defend unoccupied areas ito the last man." They were the most drastic. orders given the troops since Chinese forces threatened to invade the set- clement a year ago lat July.
 To Patrol Areas
 The decision to patrol unoccupied areas was believed to have been ta- ken because of the inability of po- lice to prevent further incursions. Heavy patrols of foreign troops were concentrated on all sides of the settlement. The troops turned back many armed Japanese propa- gandists and detained temporarily many others who were later released to the Japanese army. One of the Japanese detained said he was a colonel and another was lister as Mapor Toshiharau Kaneko. The ar- rest of Kaneko was protested strongly by Col. Hitoshi Hamada, director of the Japanese army press bureau, in note sent to Colonel s. Franklin of Columbia, Mo-, American chairman os the munich pal council.
 "The protest in no way will preju- dice the steps which my superiors in. this matter may deem neces- sary," Hamada told Franklin.

Tension In Shanghai

Shanghai, Aug. 15-OP)-Ten- sion between the Japanese military command and foreign authorities increased today and some quarters expressed fears that the Japanese might attempt to occupy the inter- national settlement.
 The anger of British authorities was aroused when. Japenese soldiers 1owered the British flag and hoisted the Japanese on the British tug, Victoria, aground in the Yangtse river off Kiangyin. Eight Japanese soldiers took over the vessel. British and Japanese naval authorities be- gan negotiating after vigorous British protest.
 Foreign military officials held a long conference at which it was un- derstood they discussed plan to place permanent semimilitary con- trol over all unoccupied areas of the settlement.

The Japanese advance brought the Russian and Japanese lines within IA to IS feet of each other, an ofi- cial communique said today, and there was danger of spontaneous clash at any moment. To prevent an outbreak, the Russian and Japanese commanders on the spot reached the agreement, already announced at Tokyo, that each side should withdraw 250 feet. & Litvinov Protests
 | However, Foreign Commissar Maxim Litvinov protested to Japan ese Ambassador Mamoru Shigemit- su that the Japanese had violated the truce and warned him that un- less Japanese troops carried out faithfully their agreement to with draw, Russia would consider the armistice violated through Japans fault. Later the Japanese withdrew, 1t was said. An official communique issued through the Tass News agen- cy, the official government agency, said the troop commanders had reached an agreebent to exchange dead.
 Estimate of Casualties
 The communique estimated the Russian casualties in. all fighting at 236 killed and 611 wounded, and estimated Japanese casualties at 600 killed and 2500 wounded. It was said that the front was now quiet. The official communique, how ever, showed that the situation con- tinued dangerous if quiet. It was disclosed that Japanese officers on the frontier refused Russian sug- gestion that the troop commanders sign an agreement and a map, show ing the agreed positions of the Ru- sian and Japanese troops.
