 U. s. PROTESTS,
 PLANE CUNNING
Foreign Office Spokesman Admits Craft Attacked
 After Forced Down

TOKYO, Aug. 31.-The Japanese Government has rejected on all counts, the protest of the United States against the destruction of the Chinese American airliner near Canton in which IA of the IT per- sons aboard were killed when the craft was forced down and then machine gunned. An American was the pilot. He escaped alive. The "ac- cident' occurred on August 24.
 The Japanese reply to the pro- tests admits the attack on the plane continued after the airliner was forced down and alighted on small river between Canton and Macao.
 Those killed, it is also admitted, met death either from bullets or by drowning.
 The Foreign Office spokesman said Japan is compelled to reject the protest because Tokyo's infor- nation differed from that appar- ently that reached the American authorities.

South Carolina voters, by renom- mating Senator Ellison D. Smith for his seventh term by twenty-five thousand majority in the primary election yesterday, rebuffed Presi- dent Roosevelt in his first attempt to unseat a Democratic member of Congress.

 Although Roosevelt did not men, tion names during South Carolina's furious primary campaign, he re- ferred to Smith as one who thinks in terms of the past"
 In California there was no New Deal issue between Downey ano McAdoo. However, McAdoo had voiced outspoken criticism oi Downeys pension proposal as had the President.
 Downey's pension scheme pro- vides for the payment of $50 weekly in scrip for all unemployed in Cali fornia over fifty years old.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.-Presi- dent Roosevelts excursion to the new Thousand Islands bridge be- tween Canada and the United States boosts onto the front page an inter- national issue that has boiled back and forth across the St. Lawrence River for nearly century and a half.
 That issue is the proposed St. Lawrence deep waterway connect ing the continents Great Lakes ports with the Atlantic Ocean, thus making ocean ports of such inland cities as Duluth, Chicago, Detroit, Fort William, Ont, Toledo, Cleve- land and Buffalo
 The deep waterway has been of- ficially defined as waterway with channel at least 27 feet deep to accommodate 90 per cent of the vessels sailing the seven seas. Any thing shallower than 27 feet would choke out much ocean freighter tonnage.
 There are two natural barriers for most ocean tonnage between the Great Lakes and the Atlantic Ocean.
 One is the 30-nlile stretch of roaring International Rapids on the lower St. Lawrence River. CThe Canadians have built canals and locks around the rapids, but these works accommodate only smaller vessels requiring IA feet of water or less)
 The other hurdle is the 30-mile strip of land separating Lakes Erie and Ontario, along which runs the famous Niagara River. That river drops several hundred feet between the two lakes. Part of the drop, incidentally, creates the breath-tak- ing beauty of Niagara Falls. CThe Canadians also have built the Well land ship canal around the falls, but it's channel is only 25 feet deep)

THREE ENTER PLEADINCS IN
 KIDNAP CASE
Doctor, Two 9th CTS Say They Are Innocent
 $25,000 Bail Set

OLYMPIA, Wash, Aug. 31.-Dr. Kent w. Berry, 50, prominent Olym- pia physician, and two companions in the alleged Kidnapping and tor turing of Irving Baker, 37, local automobile dealer and former Seat tie Coast Guard officer, pleaded innocent in the Superior Court to- day when arraigned. The date of the trial was not set but it is be- lieved it will be in October.
 Judge Wilson overruled demurrels by attorneys for the defendants who contended the facts in the complaint, failed to constitute first degree Kidnapping.
 The Court said: Nothing is am biguous about the statute.
 Others who entered not guilty pleas were William McAloon, former Montesano night marshal and friend of the doctor, and James Reddick, taxicab driver.
 Held on S25,000 Bail
 Bail for the three was continued, $25, ,000 in each case.
 The Court also upheld Prosecutor Smith Troy's appeal for joint trial.
 Baker was Kidnapped from his home, at the point of gun, with fake warrant of arrest on the night of August 19, taken to lone ly spot, brutally beaten and tortur- ed by the abductors who used pine CTS. Baker was found shortly after midnight wandering on the out skirts of Olympia, seeking help.
 Doctor Was Jealous
 Dr. Berry is declared to have been extremely jealous of his beau tiful young wife, the former Betty Keyin, who was prominent in Uni versity of Washington campus cir cles, and whom he married two years ago, following his divorce.
 Baker is a native of Seattle, the son of pr. Lee Baker, well-known dentist. He graduated from Lowell Grade School and Broadway High School and attended the United States Coast Guard Academy. He is thirty years old, weighs 200 pounds and could easily have handled any one or two of his as sailants alone, had they been un- armed.

CITY TAXPAYERS
 TO VOTE SEPT. 70 ON BOND ISSUE
Council Calls Special Elec- ton to Decide on Pub
 lie Projects
$141,9OO NECESSARY TO ACCEPT PWA PROPOSAL
Paving, Sewers, Right-of- Way and Boat Harbor
 Facilities Involved

Juneau taxpayers whose names appear on the tax rolls will have opportunity September 20 to ex- press themselves on making inn provements in the city amounting to $258,0O0, including the small boat harbor terminal facilities, pav- ing Willoughby Avenue, widening south Seward Street and installing sewers and sidewalks.
 The City Council at special meeting last night passed a reso- lution calling for special election on September 20 to vote on a bond issue to cover the citys cost of the projects.
 Four propositions will be present. ed the voters for their approval or rejection as follows:
 .... ~ :. Four Projects ,.-- .-.. ----
 CD Paving streets and building sidewalks, $63 300, and incorporated with this proposition will be an item of $9,790 for engineering costs, interest during course of construc- ton and contingent expenses.
 CD Sewers, $17,16o.
 (3) Right-of- way, including the South Seward Street widening, $2,- 750.
 (4) Installation of terminal fa- -cilit.ss at the small boat harhor $48, 400.
 Grant of S116,100
 The total amount involved in the propositions will be S141 900, the amount the city must provide to ob- tain the improvements through grant and loan from the govern ment The outright grant from the government amounts to $116,100 making the total costs of the pro- jects $258,000
 If all the projects are approved, the city's bonded debt, which now stands at $196,000, will be raised to s337 300. Mayor Harry I. Lucas said this morning money is now being set aside for retiring $10,000 of the general obligation school bonds on December 1 and that plan also was under way to obtain some help from property owners in districts effected property owners in districts affected One such a move already has been started on South Seward Street and he said the Council had assur- ance from other property owners which will benefit that they would like to participate. It is probable, he said, that local improvement dis tricts may be formed which would lessen the burden on the city's gen. eral obligations.
 Notice of the city's action has been wired to both Col. H. J. Wild District Engineer at Seattle, who will have charge of the small boat harbor construction for the War Department, and to the Public Works Administration which |ap- proved the Juneau projects in its list of public improvements.

THE SCHEME

Here is the deep waterway scheme itself:
 First, dam up the St. Lawrence River at one or two places along the International Rapids, and build locks to lift and lower ocean vessels around the dams. The channel would be dredged in spots to 27 feet
 Second, the dams would supply 100000 horsepower of electric pow CT to be divided between the United States and Canada-or rather the countryside along the river on both sides.
 Third, the Welland Canal around Niagara would be deepened to 27 feet, and Niagara Falls would be beautified and improved to deliver more electric power than the pri- vate interests leasing it from the two governments now provide.
 Fourth, Canada would be credited lContinued on Pape Spvenl

ReDOrted Break BetlUeen
 Farley, Rooseuelt Is Not
 Shouting Up; Here Is Proof
. By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.-For 2 long time Washington has beer hunting evidence of break be- tween President Roosevelt and Post master General Farley. What then should show up but Genial Jim's' series of magazine articles packed full of evidence. But the trouble is it can be used to argue both ways
 Farley in his series of articles in American Magazine comedies that he likes to pull his punches just a little bit in dealing with political foemen, as we'll as those opposed politically or otherwise-to ad- ministration policies Also, he con- cedes that President Roosevelt has not pulled his punches at times when it would have been smart as Farley saw tito have pulled them.
 So there you have it. Farley is at odds with the President.
 But again, maybe you don't have it. Farley was at odds with the President about those tactics al- most before MT. Roosevelt had seated himself in the White House And the instances he cites of per sonal differences with the Presi- dent for the most part preceded the 1886 election And in that cam paign it was generally understood that Farley was adequately close to Roosevelt-adequately close, in spite of the differences.
 FDR LOVES A FIGHT
 Here is a sample of the evidence of a breach the articles present:
 "A fact which few people realize about President Roosevelt" says MT. Farley, lis that he dearly loves a fight. Indeed, this battling nature of his is the key in many respects to his whole character. l am frank to confess that there have been times when I have felt that the President, from sheer joy of fight, battled too hard, when con- promising attitude might have ac- complished more than direct line drive"
 Does that indicate Farley feels that the Presidents belligerent atti- tude is truly harmful. Hampering re- covery? Maybe, as some believe, it does, but the balance of the article he loads on the President enough outright praise-if not worship-to call for thinking twice.
 In the current article there are two other odds and ends of some- what whimsical nature. Louis Howe, who was at once the Presidents light and shadow, made a mistake. Traditionally he was we'll nigh in- fallible in political instinct until the day of his death. It was Howe, re- lates Farley, who urged the Presi- dent to speak out early in his 1882 campaign for balanced budget. Instead, the President held that off until almost the last thing.
 "The budget speech" says Far ley "came back to trouble Roose- welt more than any other speech he ever delivered"
