Dickens shot the convict in the hip,
the bullet going into the stomach,
Franklin then released Langley after

Early Morning, and
Take City" in Hand
to Hand Fighting

Shanghai, May 9.-(AP)-Large
sections of Suchow were reported
burning fiercely as Japanese came in
to possession, of most of the CITY and
fought hand to hand with Chinese
"dare-to-die' units in the southern
suburbs. Japanese aviators said the
strategic city, viewed from the air,
was a blob of smoke, creased by lag
ged flames.
They said naval planes, bombing
from lower altitude, scored a direct
hit on what was apparently the main
ammunition store, sending flames and
smoke hundreds of feet into the air.
Another tremendous fire, also ap-
parently from a powder magazine,
was reported from the southeastern
section of the city.
All the city, except the southern
part, where fighting continued, was
said by Japanese to have been oc-
cupied within a few hours after they
stormed the walls and poured into the
vital central China rail junction.
They launched their first infantry
attack during the early morning hours
and by 9 a. m. had captured the west
wall. Before noon they reported they
had taken a large part of the city in
hand to hand street fighting and had
possession of both the Lunghai and
Teintsin-Puchow railway stations.

controversies in the air and in the

eral election.
Labor Leader John Lewis and Sena-

On Agreement

Paris. May 19.-(AP)-Fremie Da-
Ladder declared that France would de-
fend her frontiers against "all at
statement today as France began
negotiations with Italy with a friend
ship agreement approaching a com
plete breakdown.
To newspapermen who he summon
ed to his office, head of the national
defense" cabinet, declared:
France will persist in improving
her close union, her calm self-posses-
sion, she can do it because she is
strong.
Her will for peace is her first
guarantees; her strength is her SUI
preme guarantee"
Indirectly the premier threw the
blame for the impasse in the friend
ship talk on Italy, asserting that
France was occupied with looking
everywhere and with everybody for a
settlement which, however, demands
loyalty and reciprocity and parallel
action"
The premier's declaration came as
Italians efforts to break up Frances
alliance with Soviet Russia had i'm
posed formidable obstacles for eff
forts of Franco-Italian accord.
Conversation for such an agreement
began in Rome before Adolf Hitler'S
visit to Italy May 3, were suspended
during that visit, and had not been

Washington, May 19.-(AP)-C Chair
man Wagner, Democrat, New York,
said today that several members of
the Senate Banking Committee had
suggested amending the administra-
tons bill liberafizing RFC loans to
railroads so as to prohibit loans to
railroads which enforced wage cuts.
On Wagner's motion, the bill earlier
was taken off the Senate calendar
and sent back to the committee.
Wagner said additional hearings
would be held at which representa-
tives of the workers and railroads
would testify.
He told the Senate that when the
bill was originally approved by the
committee two weeks ago there was
mo discussion of threatened wage
reduction" The railroads since had
announced it's intention Of seeking q
Is per cent pay cut.
Meantime, congressional and legal
quarters studied a broad hint from
Secretary Wallace that the admins
tration may propose restricting
court power to resume rate-makins
and regulatory orders of federal
agencies.
Other developments:
The weather may play an impor-
tant role this spring in helping the
agriculture department win farmers
compliance with acreage reduction
progam of tobacco, cotton and corn
programs. Bad weather, officials said
may keep farmers from planting as
much as they intended.
A State Department official told q

nations in South American as part
