SENATE ASKED
TO HIT BOMBING
IN SPAIN, CHINA
Pittman ASSaiIS Killing
of Civilians in Raids

| uNS) Overshadowing a Sen
ate row over bombing of civilians
in Spain and China, Senator Pitt
man Cd Of Nevada today an
lnounced he would demand action
upon q resolution denouncing this
method Of warfare.
After members of the Foreign
RelationS Committee, of which he
lis chairman, sharply criticized his
dissolution as introduced in the
Senate late yesterday, the Neva
dan decided to modify 1t and call
for a vote.
Coupled with the resolution
which was understood to have Ad
ministration support, was an en-
dorsement of the recent address
by Secretary of State Cordell Hull
denouncing these bombings and
pleading against expectation oi
aircraft to any nation that resorts
to that method of warfare.
STUDY AUTHORIZED
Also, the resolution would au.
thorize the Foreign Relations Com.
mittee to study bombings and
other methods of warfare, with a
view to making recommendations
to the next session of Congress.
Introduced into the Senate late
yesterday by Senator Pittman, the
resolution evoked general support,
though some Senators privately
questioned whether the resolution
might commit the Senate to action
by the State Department later.
I can see nothing in the reSo-
luton that commits the Senate
to anything, except a denuncia-
ton of the barbaric bombing of
civilian populations" Pittman
told International News Service.
He continued:
The dropping Of deadly
bombs upon cities, where no
military advantage may be
gained, is a throw-back to
savage warfare. It is inhuman,
revolving. We already have a
law forbidding the shipment of
airplaneS or other war supplies
to either faction in the Spanish
civil war. But my resolution
would denounce as repugnant
to civilization the bombingS of
civilian populations that have
occurred there by war planes
on both sides.
JAPANESE ACTION
1.-THE bombing of civilian
populations in China by the
japanese army deserves con-
demnation of the Senate. I hope
that such a denunciation will
stop the shipment of war planes
to Japan when she resorts to
that kind of warfare that sees
women and children killed and
horribly wounded.
"It certainly has been proven
that this method of warfare
does not intimidate the oppos-
ing force. It simply steelS them
to resistance and leads to
greater barbaritieS.
Out of provisions in the reSo-
luton for an investigation by the
Foreign Relations Committee, Pitt
man said, may be developed a gen.
eral overhauling Of Americas S
neutrality law at the next session
of Congress.
The Washington times., 1938-06-14

A provision for payment of
$212, 100000 in subsidies to
farmers-the only provision not
agreed upon by the Senate House
confereeS-was thrust before the
House for special vote.
II the House approves the pro-
vision, speedy agreement in both
House and Senate on the entire
bill was assured. Rejection Of the
proposal would upset all plans of
leaders for adjournment of con-
greSS tomorrow night.
ROOSEVELT OPPOSED?
President Roosevelt, it was
authoritatively stated, opposes the
1912 100000 appropriation on the
ground that congress refused to
levy additional taxes to finance
the expanded farm program.
In spite of administration
opposition, the farm bloc hoped to
win approval in the House.
Starting Congress on the road
to guaranteeing minimum prices
for major farm crops, the fund
would raise the total of direct
farm aid voted in the present ses-
sion to over 100000, 900.
IF it is possible I shall move
to increase the $4,000, 900 to
an amount sufficient to insure
full parity prices on wheat,
corn, cotton, tobacco and rice"
said Representative Ford CD
Of Mississippi, leader of the
parity bloc. II had understood
until Saturday that the admins
tration had no objection to the
fund if Congress provided taxes
in the next session. I have
understood since that time that
the administration is opposed.
However, I sdo not feel that the
President would veto the relief
recovery bill with this in it,"
G. o. P. FIGHTS REPORT
With all Republicans on the
Senate-HouSe conference commit
tee refusing to sign the conference
agreement on other provisions of
the huge measure, House Republi-
cans planned to stage a demon
stration against it.
The Republicans oppose
this spending program because
it is not sound and because it is
a huge campaign fund in an ef-
fort to win the next election"
said Representative Bacon (R)
of New York.
The measure, as agreed upon in
conference, provides 1895, ,000, 900
to finance the WPA. A provision
which may wreck the WPA pro
gram requires payment of the mini
mum wages carried in the wage
hour bill.
A check upon the WPA was
voted in retention of the Wood
rum amendment, requiring the
fund to be allocated over a period
of eight months. The President,
however, was given power to
change the ALLEGATION to seven
months period and to use $175,-
000, 900 for emergency relief prof.
ects.
PWA GIVEN FUND
The PWA was given 1865, ,000, 900
for public works projects, with
authority to use a $400, ,000, 900 re-
volving fund. The Housing Au-
thority was given an added $780,
900 900 for slum clearance and
low-coSt housing.
The measure also carries $175,-
900 900 for rural aid, expands the
public building program, provides
500 900, 900 for rural electrifica-
| ton and $75, ZOO, 900 for the Ma
tional Youth Administration.

! Although a drastically modified
version of the rigid measure re
vived and passed by the House
last month, the bill, nevertheless,
was slated for quick adoption tc
permit the Senate to complete
congressional action before Sched
uled adjournment tomorrow night
OPPOSITION MELTS
Leaders regarded the House
vote today a mere formality which
would take less than an hour.
Despite many similarities be-
tween the compromise measure
and the original bill Shelved by
the House last December, oppo-
sition appeared to have melted
away in the rush to adjourn.
1t is by far the best bill of
all those considered" said the
man credited with leading the
successful fight six months ago
against the legislation, Repre-
sentative McReynolds (DD Of
Tennessee. Il do not plan to
speak against it. I think the
House will approve it quickly"
Representative Ramspeck CD
of Georgia, who supported the
original bill, but opposed the form
in which it was revived and finally
passed by the House, expressed an
other shade of opinion with these
remarks:
ADMINISTRATION VITAL
If someone with as much
sense as Joseph Kennedy, the
Ambassador to England, is ap-
pointed administrator, I believe
the Wage-and- hour law will work
satisfactorily. But if they get
someone as irresponsible as Gen.
Hugh Johnson, as head Of the
NRA, a lot of good in the law
will be undone."
Representative Hartley (R.) Of
New Jersey, who opposed the YER
sion which the House Shelved, but
who supported the rigid measure
eventually passed, expressed dis
satisfaction with the bill placed be-
fore the House today.
The compromise bill retains the
25-cent an hour minimum which
the rigid House measure proposed,
provides that it shall be stepped
up to 80 cents after the first year,
leaving any further increases to-
ward the Accent goal in the hands
of the administrator and 300 to
500 NRA-like industrial boards
which the administrator would be
empowered to create to aid in de-
terming standards for each indus

Figures
What They Mean
BY A. A. PATTON,
Associated Press Statistician.

NEW YORK. Feb. l4.-Automobile
production this week dropped to the
lowest level since the great Midwest
blizzard two years ago, after allowance
for seasonal factors.
Car assemblies in the first six weeks
this year. estimated by Wards. totaled
355,000 cars, against $4,000 In the
same period q year ago.
This 20 per cent decline, Of course.
reflects uncertainty ON the part of
the manufacturers concerning demand
during the spring and summer. As
well as a heavy inventory Of both new
and used cars.
As slightly better than SCOT, 900 cars
and trucks were turned out in 1887.
an extension Of the currently reduced
production rate throughout the year
would mean the manufacture of ap-
proximately 3,500,0 cars.
Analysts point out. however, the
assembly of new models so far this
year has been bolstered by the fact
Ford started production much later
than other principal makers. This
means the comparison with last year,
suggested above, is overstated by alb
normal output Of the largest inde-
pendent.
Then, too, the 1887 total was below
normal because of the Sit-down strike
at the. General Motors plants which
tied up production.

150 TON MILL WILL RISE IN
 RAILROAD BELT
Former Lucky Shot Mine Operator, Dunkle,
 Has New Plans

One of the largest lode mines in Alaska, outside of the Alaska Ju neau. will be operating within two years in the Broad Pass country in the Alaska Railroad belt, it is claimed
 w. E. Dunkle, prominent mining man who recently sold out his Lucky Shot mine to Canadian interests, last night told of plans to develop quartz property near Colorado sta ton on the Government railroad.
 MT. and Mrs. Dunkle are south bound passengers on the Aleutian for few weeks in Seattle.
 Dunkle said he hopes to have 150-ton ball mill operating on the Golden Zone" as the new quartz property is called, within the next two years.
 Work has begun this season, Dun- kle said. in building the big mill ing, flotation and cyanide plant to handle the large reserves of low grade basic ore.
 Dunkle said the ore runs about Si0 to the ton. Development work to date, after two years of pros pecting, includes several thousand feet of drill holes and 5000 feet. ap- proximately, of tunnel.
 The mill, when operating will keep about 60 men employed.
 Anchorage residents are inter- ested in the new mine with Dunkle. Reports received in Juneau from that city indicate the Golden Zone will be the first step in large scale development in a promising area.
