+ CANTON, China, June 7.-Japan's
warplanes bombarded this terrorized
South China city three times today
and swelled the toll of dead and
wounded which had reached 5000
since the Furnishing series Of raids be-
gan II days ago.
The third raid was made by moon
light, beginning at $3.50 pm. (7:30
am, E. s. T), and incendiary bombs
were dropped In northern sections of
the city.
Canton, including the foreign settle
ment on Shameen Island, was without
electric light or power tonight. Dur
ing an afternoon raid nine bombs
plunged into the compound of the
power station and waterworks in the
Saichuen district, near Shameen, put
ting the power station out Of COM
mission.
Twenty civilians were killed on
Honam Island, separated from Can
ton city by the Pearl River.
First Raid Soon After Dawn.
The first raid came soon after dawn,
when Japanese planes for 10 minutes
bombed the congested Tungshan and
Saichuen districts.
Local Chinese authorities have Or
dered all l. women and children to
leave the city. Throngs have gath
cred at railway stations and along the
water front, patiently awaiting trans
port. Facilities are entirely made
quate to handle the exodus.
More than 100000 already have fed
to British Hong Kong; many more
have sought refuge in the interior or
in ports further south.
Canton has drawn Japans air at
tacks because it is the gateway for
most of China's imported war supplies.
(In Shanghai the chief Of the
special service section Of the
Japanese Navy declared that Japan
intends to carry out air raids on
such cities as Canton and Han
kow with even greater vigor.")
Bombed Again in Afternoon.
After the early morning foray, the
japanese flyers returned this after
noon and methodically bombed gov
ernment offices and the railroad line
to Hankow, provisional seat Of the
government.
The bombarded areas, however, had
been objectives Of previous Japanese
bombs and had been completely

Examiner Says Firm
Violates Woqner Act

Frank Bloom, a Labor Board trial
examiner, ruled yesterday that the
employe representation plan used by
the Bethlehem Steel co. at its nine
plants in Pennsylvania, New York
and Maryland violated the Wagner
Labor Act.
He held it conflicted with the
right of workers to select their own
bargaining representatives.
Mr. Bloom recommended that
the company, within 10 days, post
notices that it was withdrawing
recognition from its employe repre-
sentation plan as medium through
which employees were to seek ad-
Justment of grievances, wage mat
tiers and working conditions.
An application by the company
for time to file objections and make
oral arguments would automati-
cally stay the boards compliance
order.
The c. I. O.'s complaint and the
Bloom report included the steel
strike against Bethlehem at Johns
town, Pa, in 1897. Examiner Bloom
said testimony showed Bethlehem
had made cash contributions to the
Johnstown Citizens Committee.
which he held was organized to
break the strike.
The examiner said no report of
the funds was made by the COM
m1ttee and that they were listed
on company records as "manufac-
turing COSTS"

RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 2s.-The
strange legacy of a dead mans
dream to the weather forecasters of
the world and the first steps toward
its realization were revealed to the
American Meteorological Society,
meeting here yesterday.
The dreamer was DR.. Willis r..
Gregg, late chief of the United
States Weather Bureau. When he
died suddenly of a heart attack in
a Chicago hotel last September his
career was cut short at the very
outset of far-reaching plans for bet
ter forecasting which reached half
century into the future. Under DR..
Gregg's brief regime as head of the
Federal weather service there had
come into use, largely through his
initiative, that marvellous instru-
ment, the radiometeorograph -
literally a robot brain soaring
through the stratosphere and send
ing back radio accounts of about a
half dozen conditions bearing upon
the weather.
Originally developed in Russia,
DR.. Gregg had seized upon this de-

today and had climbed back to %
by 10 am. The lowest so far this
winter was IA on November 27.
The forecaster expected the lowest
temperature tonight to be about "a
degrees.
The forecast called for increasing
cloudiness today, and possibly light
snow and not so cold tomorrow, with
gentle variable winds becoming
southerly.

Two previous attempts have been
made to equip the House with am
plifiers, the first being during the
Harding administration. They were
abandoned because, as Representa-
tive Cannon, Democrat, OF Missouri,
explained today, many members got
the mistaken impression that they
were to be used to broadcast the
proceedings of the House to the Ma

The leaders feared that most of
the 435 House members would want

NEW YORK, Dec. 28.-The Beth
lehem Steel Co. announced today it
would contest recommendations of
trial examiner for the National
Labor Relations Board that the COM
pany abolish its 20-year- -old employe
representation plan.
E. G. Grace, Bethlehem president,
said in a statement that the exam
iner's findings, made public in Wash
ington yesterday, ARE not supported
by the facts and ere contrary to the
intent of the Labor Act"
Disestablishment of the existing
bargaining organizations of Bethle-
hem employees, Mr.. Grace said,
Should be for our employees to de-
eide. They have continuously shown
their desire that these organizations
be continued"
Mr.. Grace charged that the To-.
month inquiry into Bethlehem's la
Dor policies was ''instigated by the
c. I. o." as "the latest phase Of It's
attempt to force upon our employees
an organization which they do not
desire"
Concern Voiced.
Mr.. Grace charged that "the re-
port in its entirety is aimed at one
thing, and that is to destroy salts
factory relation" between the COM
pany and its employees.
He said "the report makes no con-
structive suggestion as to how to
avoid the chaos that would follow
the disestablishment nor does
1t suggest that the wishes of the
employees be ascertained. Indeed,
c. I. o. does not want to see the
issue put to vote until the en-
ployes' collective bargaining agen-
cies are thrown into discard; in
other words, c. I. o. wants to COM
pete only with ITSELF"
The Bethlehem president said he
could not refrain from expressing
his profound concern for industry
in this country If the examiners
recommendation to scrap such rela-
tlOnS be approved by the board"

In Another Form
BY staf1 Correspondent of The Star.

RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 28.-Out
of handful of seeds of a common
weed has come new corner stone
Of the whole structure of life on
earth.
Drs. o. L. Inman of Antioch Col
lege, Ohio, and Albert F. Blakeslee
OF the Carnegie Institution of
Washington announced to the Ma
tional Academy of Sciences, meeting
here today, the production of new
kind of chlorophyl in jimson weed
grown from X-rayed seed.
Chlorophyl is the green coloring
substance in leaves. BY means of
it carbon dioxide in the air and
water absorbed by plant roots are
transformed into starches and
sugars through the energy of SUM-
light. This is the basic process of
life. Chlorophyl with its big, COM
plex and unduplicable chemical
molecule alone can use sunlight in
this manner. Without this process
there would be no food or fuel for
the organic world. The coal burned
today was created by chlorophyl
1000, 900 years ago. The food
eaten today was produced by chlo-
rophyl yesterday.
New Kind of Substance Now.
Until now only one kind of this
substance has been known. In 1881
DR.. Blakeslee irradiated some jim
son weed seeds with X-rays in the
hope of producing changes in the
plants which sprang from them
that would be hereditary. There
was a peculiar appearance about
the seedlings which aroused his
suspicion, and he sent the leaves
to DR.. Inman for chemical analysis.
Whatever was in them acted like
chlorophyl except in one respect.
1t absorbed different wave-lengths
OF visible light. It had always been
supposed that the peculiar absorp-
ton bands of chlorophyl were large
ly responsible for its sugar-synthe-
sizing action. The greenish sub
stance in the leaves could not pos
sibly be chemically the same ma
terial Yet experiment showed
that it made use of sunlight to pro-
duce starches and sugars just as
well as the material hitherto known.
Genetic experiments showed that
the new substance appeared only as
recessive-that is, it did not Or

The Arctic chill of the seasons s

Northwest winds carried an icy
sting to the Eastern seaboard and
the South today, while the midcon-

Weather observers predicted a
slow rise in temperatures for tomor-

there was no promise of appreciable
relief.
At least Is deaths were attributed

caused by the weather.
Scores Marooned.
Wyoming, Colorado, Montana,
