The insurgent planes last night

ing body of the non-intervention
committee was overcoming Soviet
Russia's objections to the with

opposition demanded that Cham
berlain warn Italy that the Anglo
Italian pact will be torn up unless
Italian planes in Spain cease
bombing British ships, the house
late last night cast what amount

governments foreign policy.

CHINESE TEAR UP
ROAD TO HANKOW

SHANGHAI, June q. (uP).-
United States diplomatic authori-
ties today forwarded to Washing
ton reports on a number of new
incidents which, it is believed
here, will result in new protests
to Japan by the state department.
The incidents include:
Bombing of the American
Christian Herald industrial mis-
sion at Fooehow, Fukien prov
ince, by Japanese planes OH June
II, resulting in the killing OF
Chinese employees and destruction
of several of the mission build
ings. The properties were under
lease to Chinese because of Chi
nese laws requiring that direction
of all schools be in Chinese hands.
Bombing of American and Brit
ish properties in Wuchow, near
Canton, yesterday. Nine Japa-
neSe planes flew over the south
ern city during the morning and
dropped bombs, one of which fell
near a storage tank of the Stand
ard Oil company of New York,
another near the installation of
the American Texas company,
and third near that of the Brit
ish Asiatic Petroleum company.
Cancellation by the Japanese
army of a promise to permit
Americans to return to their posts
in the Japanese-occupied areas
of the interior-an act consider
ed in violation of United States
treaty rights.
Other developments:
The Japanese drive on China's
provisional capital in Hankow
made additional progress. Japa-
nese forces occupied Taiho, fol-
lowing their capture of the i'm
portant position of Tsien-Shan,
near their big base in Anking on
the Yangtse river west of Han
kow, and cleared all Chinese
forces from the Tsien-Shan--
Taiho highway.
To the north, the Chinese war
office in Hankow announced, CHI
nese forces based on Chengchow
were attacking japanese forces
isolated in Chungmow by floods
of the Yellow river. =,
The Japanese were barrlcaded
inside the city walls and were de-
pending on airplanes for their
food supplies.
The Japanese drive toward
Sian-Fu, capital of Shensi prov
ince, had been turned into a de-
fensive action because of strong
Chinese counter-attacks.
To the eastward, along the
Tientsin-Pukow (Nanking) rail-
wav, sections of the Grand canal
were flooded and Japanese SOL
diers were assisting thousands OF
Chinese farmers in reinforcing
the canal bikes.
Far to the north, in the Peip-
ing area, attachments of the Chi
nese 9Th route Communist
army had destroyed a section OF
the new railway built by the Japa-
nese from Peiping to Chengteh,
capital of the Manchukuoan prov
ince of Jehol.

SIGNS FOR KEY WEST

We hope the Junior Chamber of Com
merce will not long delay placing suitable
markers at the intersecting spots through
out the island of Key West. 1t was laud-
able movement undertaken by the Jaycees
and should go ahead with all possible
speed, for it will not be long before thous-
ands of visitors will be flocking into the city
to look us over
1t is especially important to place di-
rection signs and markers along the down
town waterfront Each day finds bewilder-
ed visitors searching for the live fish mar
ket, the turtle crawls, the sponge dock, the
charter boat fishing pier and other points
of interest All of these unusual features
of the city have been widely publicized, so
that when out of town residents think OF
Key West they Immediately determine to
view these sights.
Key Westers are often asked where to
find this or that spot. They respond by
stating it is at the foot of Elizabeth street,
or the head of Whitehead street or one
block off White street. Directions how to
get there are then forthcoming When the
visitor sets out to find the foot of Elizabeth
street or some other definite location his
first difficulty is in finding Elizabeth street.
There are few street signs, so finding
a spot in Key West is not a simple matter
for stranger At some points the signs
have been removed entirely through build
ing operations or sewer construction, at
others the curb markings have been OBJ
liberated by time and vegetation, while
some intersections seemingly never were
marked.
AS The Citizen has suggested before
i'm these columns it would be a good idea
for the Chamber of Commerce or some 9TH
err civic organization, since the city does not
have the funds, to get back of movement
to mark our streets. 1t is well enough to
mark the points of interest, but it is more
important to put street names at all inter
sections. Key West ought to make it easy
for strangers to find their way around. II
will pay good dividends.

Mr.. Filler declared himself as
being opposed to the cross-state

this about.
Throughout the address the
