AUTOS INSPECTED ARE SAFER.
Periodical inspection of motor We
hicles by State authorities makes for
safety on the highway. But less than
1-3 Of the states now require inspec-
tions, according to a survey of mo-
tor-vehicle traffic conditions which
Congress asked the Bureau of Public
Roads to make. There is little uni
formity in inspection methods now
in force, but there is improvement in
the mechanical conditions Of cars
always following an Introduction of
inspection. Some states have official
inspection forces, but more depend
on licensed garages as inspection
stations. Several States require in
spection as a condition of renewing
licenses. In others the highway pa
trolls have power to rule OF the roads
any vehicle that does not display the

AIR TERRORISM
International News Photo

SHANGHAI, Aug. Is Q.N.Sl.
Japan today declared herself mas
ter Of the air over China by warn
ing that any passenger or military
planes attempting to escape from
japanese aircraft would be liable
to attack.
In a formal statement issued sS
a result of the japanese at
tack on commercial airliner near
Hongkong yesterday, in which IA
or Is persons were reported killed,
a NipponeSe military spokesman
announced Japanese sovereignty
over the Chinese skies, apparently
by right Of conquest.
Any machine flying over Chinese
territory will be subject to inspec-
ton, the spokesman said. If any
plane attempts to escape this
scrutiny, he declared, it will risk
being shot down.

SASSCER URGES
END OF FEUDS,
BETTER ROADS
Baltimore Voters Hear
Governor ASpirant

BALTIMORE, Aug. 25.-State
Senator Lansdale g. Sasscer, OF
Upper Marlboro, brought his gu
bernatorial campaign to Baltimore
today, pleading for an end to fac
tional feuds in the Democratic
party and a united front after the
primary.
Addressing the Eleventh Ward
Democratic Club, he declared
Maryland's roads have deteriorated
under the administration Of Re
publican Governor Harry w. Nice,
and demanded the State govern
ment build an efficient road ma
chine, not an efficient political
machine"
mo BITTERNESS"
1.-THE most important issue in
this campaign is the replace
ment of the Republican regime
now in power by an efficient
Democratic government" he
said. During this campaign I
have refrained from personali-
ties and waged my contest on
the issues of importance to the
citizens of the Free State Of
Maryland.
Here, in the hub of the in
tense contest between the two
distinguished gentlemen from
this city, you cannot help but
realize that my candidacy is the
logical salvation Of the Demo-
cratic party in November.
have no bitterness toward either
of the rival camps here, and I
think both camps have a kindly
and friendly feeling for me.
Our next administration
must approach the problems of
Maryland from a Statewide
view point. The many interests
of Maryland must be coordi-
mated. There must be no section
aliSm. We should have q gov
ernor from the counties at least
once in a quarter of a century.
PLEA FOR ROADS
"Our State roads are chan
nels of good will between the
counties and Baltimore. The
people of Baltimore drive over
them to the water fronts, re-
sorts, and to visit their friends
on the farms and villages. The
people of the counties go over
them to sell their produce, trade
with the MERCHANTS and visit
their friends in Baltimore.
During the present admins
tration, these channels of good
will have been permitted to de-
teriorate. These lines of COM
munication between Baltimore
and the counties must be re-
stored"

Britain Sees

LONDON, Aug. IS 0.N.SO.

Siders the whole policy Of

civil war imperiled by the
unsatisfactory n nature" Of
in urgent GeneraliSSimO
Frances note rejecting the
nOn-interventi0n committees

troops.
International News Service
learned today that if Franco
continues to insist that both
sides in Spain be granted bel
ligerent rights before sub
stantial troop Withdrawals
take place, and that the
Withdrawals be carried out
on a basis of equality, rather
than prOpOrtiOnately, the
government here considers
that nOn-inteFventiOn will
collapse.
This opinion is held here
on the ground that France
cannot be expected to keep
her PyreneeS frontier closed
indefinitely if the deadlock
over Frances reply to the

remains unbrOken.

The chauffeur either did not
hear or did not understand the
order, whereupon the police opened
fire.
Three shots were fired at the
limousine, which the officers ap-
parently did not recognize as q
diplomatic car.
The incident caused great en-
barraSsment to Franco. although
the ambassador and the italian
government were satisfied the at
tack was accidental.
Condition of the ambassadors
wife was not known.
With revelation of the attack,
the frontier between France and
nationalist Spain again was
closed. Even foreigners possessing
diplomatic immunity were held up
for several hours.
The Italian ambassador, one Of
Italy'S most distinguished diplo-
mats, was the first foreign envoy
accredited to the nationalist re-
gime.
MuSsolini's action in naming a
titled career diplomat to this post
while the civil war was still raging
and the Franco regime recognized
by no other foreign power was in
terpreted as a striking gesture Of
friendship and support.
Di Campalto presented his Gre
dentials to Franco on the balcony
Of the administration palace in
Burgos before thousands Of spec

stripped anything seen in Spain

down by Japanese war planes was
found today as a report Of the

Immediate efforts were begun
to raise the hull. When it is
brought to the surface, it is ex-

craft subjected it to a terrific
machine gun barrage, killing IA

Meanwhile, H. L. Woods, Amer
lean pilot of the liner, arrived here
from Macao, where he first went
to seek aid. Woods, accompanied
by an American official, declined
to make any new statement until
he consults authorities here.
Pilot Wood said that after the
plane landed in the muddy water,
a burst of machine gun fire swept
the passenger compartment, kill
ing a woman and a baby in her
arms.
SWIMMERS SHOT
Occupants Of the plane able to
do so, he said, jumped into the
water, but while they struggled
toward shore the Japanese planes
dived at them repeatedly, picking
them off one by one.

Meanwhile stories of survivors
