japanese Summon
Navy Reserves for
Special Squadron
Call Is Seen Reaction
To Tiff With Soviet
Over SokhuIin
b. the Associated Press.

TOXIC, July 26.-Confdent that
the Central Chinese government
would receive no more help from
Britain to oppose the new order in
East ASIA" Japan today stepped up
her naval manpOwer, apparently
with an eye on Soviet Russia.
The admiralty called naval re-
servists to active duty while Admiral
Mitsumasa Yonai, naval minister,
disclosed organization of new
squadron which soon will begin
special maneuvers" with the COM
bined imperial fleet.
Neutral naval experts expressed
belief that the call to reservistS,
bringing an estimated $500 to the
colors, and the fleet reinforcement
probably resulted from friction be-
tween Japan and Russia over SAX
halin Island oil and coal conces-
SionS.
Details of Squadron Withheld.
Yonai briefly informed the Japa-
nese press of the new squadron while
en- route to graduation exercises at
the naval cadet school at Etajima.
He did not disclose the number nor
type of ships in the new squadron.
1t was supposed the reservists
called up were to supply the ex-
pansion of regular personnel needed
for the new squadron. Japan has
Its, 900 naval reservists to supple
ment her more than 100000 regulars.
The naval minister said the squad
ron would participate in special
war time maneuverS."
Observers expressed surprise in
view of the fact that annual summer
maneuvers had been Cancelled when
the war in China started. The last
large-scale exercises were held in
1896.
A navy spokesman said last Fri
day that the feet was being assem-
bled in northern waters because of
the extremely serious" situation in
the Japanese Russian dispute over
concessions in the Soviet part of

BULLETIN.
Fifty-one House Democrats,
determined to force early action
on President Roosevelt's new
lending program, compelled their
leaders today to call party eau
Gus for Friday night.
By the Associated Press.
The administration sought to
hammer home to a work weary
Congress today its widely disputed
contention that the Government
would lose no money under the pro-
posed $2,490, ,0O0, 900 public works
financing program.
Resuming debate on the measure
in the Senate, Majority Leader
Barkley of Kentucky argued that by
the terms of legislation authorizing
the program "all the money ad-
vanced will be recoverable"
He called attention of his COL
leagues to the fact that the Treas
ury already holds approximately 81
000, 900 900 of recoverable assets"
Senator Byrd, Democrat, of Vir-
ginia Immediately challenged the
statement with the assertion that
many of those assets are not re-
coverable. and it should be made
clear that they are not"
Replying, Senator Barkley quoted
from a Treasury report to the effect
that no effort had been made to
estimate potential losses on the as
sets.
I'm not trying to mlSlead the
Senate, and don't think the Treas
ury is trying to mislead the Senate" ="
he added.
Regarding the projected $500, ,000,-
600 road-building phase of the pro-
gram, he said he would oppose any
amendment to make imposition of
tolls mandatory.
The method of financing the roads
should be left up to individual States
and communities, the majority lead
er said, but the Federal Government
should make sure its loans would be
repaid.
Senator Barkley said it was pos
sible that States and communities
might set aside a portion of their
revenues to pay for the roads.
In both Senate and House, lead
ers struggled to reunite their forces
in order to enact the lending pro-
gram and adjourn a week from Sat-
urday.
Administration heutenants in the
Senate, where debate began late
yesterday, were faced with a
array of prospective amend
ments. Some of the most contro-

} LAPS ESCAPE
 ASSASSINATION
Police Foil Attempts on Lives of Important
 Pers0nages

Tokyo, July 21--CUP)--Police an- nounced today they had thwarted an assassination plot today against three of Japan's most influential personages.
 Those involved were Count Kaki- no, who has escaped several pre- viouS attempts; Lord keeper of the privy seal liurahei Yuasa: and Vis- count Yoshitami MatSudaira, of the imperial household.
 Police arrested three plotters on July IS and said they found incrim- mating documents on them. Bombs were found at their homes, the po- lice reported.
 The news was banned from Jap anese newspapers. Unofficially 1t was said the attempts were connec- ted with the anti-British demon- strations, since the targets, par ticularly Yuasa and Matsudaira, are regarded as favoring a moderate viewpoint towards Britain.
 The names of those arrested were not given out. They were said to be merely agents for higher-ups.
 The attempts apparently were connected with reactionary circles responsible for anti-British senti- ment. Yuasa and Matsudaira op- posed the alliance, maintaining 1t is unwise to antagonize the democra- cies.
 Count Nobuaki Makino is one oi the principal civil advisers to the emperor and formerly was lord keeper of the Privy Seal. He has escaped assassins several times be. fore.
 Yuasa also has been a high gov- ernment official for some years and formerly was superintendent gen. eral of Metropolitan police and vice. minister for home affaisr. He 1, close to the imperial household.
 Matsudaira is grand master O. ceremonies. a graduate of Oxford and an aide-d -de-camp to the emper. or. He was once director of tho peerage bureau.

LETTER CARRIER IS
 SUIT PLAINTIFF
Fall on Stairs Brings Ac- ton; Occurred on South
 Leonard Street

Vicious dogs are generally the nemesis of Uncle Sam's mailmen, but according to complaint which will be filed shortly in the court of common pleas, flight of allegedly defective stairs caused the down. fall of Thomas Phalen. Papers in connection with the suit, by Phalen against James H. Brickel, for $6,00O were served today by Deputy Sherit Albert J. Francis.
 The complaint, drawn by Attorney Hugh J. McGill. alleges that Phalen fell because of the defective stairway on property at 33-35 South Leonard street, owned by Brickel.
 A letter carrier, Phalen says he had just deposited letters in the mail boxes at the house. In descend- ing the stairs, he claims, he slip- ped on the uneven and defective surface, and fell on his elbow. As q result, the injury caused an infec- ton of his entire left arm. He was hospitalized from February 10 to l6, ie30, and again from April 10 to 10, and the injury resulted in perm anent scar. the mailman says. in au- dition. he lost his work and wages from February Q to May 2.

Over 800 Dismissed in Waterbury During Past
 Week
MONTHLY WAGES :.
 TO BE REDUCED
No Furloughs, Says State Administrator; Some Re-
 instatements in City

More bad news came today for WPA workers and the city Welfare Department, with several new developments coming Co the fore. Chief among them was the an nouncement by State WPA Administrator Vincent J. Sullivan that lay-offs already made or contemplated are not temporary, but permanent. Meantime, 200 more WPA employees were laid off, bringing to more than 800 the total dismissed here in the past week.
 MT. Sullivan also announced that wage reductions averaging $7 8 month will be placed in effect all throughout Connecticut. The aver age monthly pay check will be cut down from $60 to $53. And, to bring further woe, additional dismissals fresn the WPA rolls are contemplated in the near future.
 Acting Supervisor of Welfare Martin P. Hayden announced this afternoon that notification had been received from WPA headquarters at New Haven that from 275 to 300 new WPA employees will be hired here Monday. The men will be in- teryiewed at the City Hall by WPA officials and assigned to local prof. ects. Those to report have beer notified by mail.
 Emphasizes Permanency
 Reports from Washington have been that the lay-offs would be of ficially on a 30-day basis and that workers were eligible for re-employ- ment on the WPA at the expiration of that time. MT. Sullivan, how ever, says that this belief is irl error and that the dismissals either made or to be made are definitely permanent. T wish to emphasize, said the state administrator, "that is not 30-day furlough, or vacation as 1t has been termed in some in- stances"
 A number of the 369 fired here a week ago have received notices oi reinstatement to local projects They were dismissed through error Some of them are war. veterans others had not served the 18 months provided by law.
 It is understood officially that 200 or more men will be taken from the welfare rolls next week and given WPA jobs, but official confirmation has not yet been given. The men would replace part of those dis missed last week and this week.
 The Board of Finance yesterday expressed grave concern over the welfare situation that may develop as a result of the wholesale dis missals. Most of those let go are expected to apply to the city Well fare Department for aid.

BY JOSEPH P. DONAHUE Democrat Staff Reporter)

Dusty newspaper files provided mute testimony today in refutation of recently published reports that 1t is tradition" in Connecticut ju. risprudence for convictions to fol- low in major criminal cases tried te a jury, when the defendants fail tc take the stand.
 Sixteen of the 19 defendants fir the Waterbury conspiracy trial whose fate will be placed in the hands of a jury of nine men and three women about the middle of next month. failed to take the stand or offer any defense to the charges by the state that they conspired to defraud the city of more than a million dollars.
 The jury will decide the guilt or innocence of the 19 unless Judge Ernest A. Inglis grants motions for directed verdicts of acquittal. Rul- ings on the motions, which were ar- gued Tuesday when the defense and state cases ended suddenly, will be made August 1, when the court re- convenes.
 In & first degree murder trial at Litchfield in 1880, which bore strik- ing similarity to the Waterbury conspiracy trial because of the length of time required in impanel- ing jury, two Torrington cobblers were acquitted, although they failed to take the stand and testify in their own behalf.
 Attorneys Edward 0. Mascolo and James M. Mcknight of Waterbury defended the two men, who were accused of the murder of Anthony Russo of Torrington, contractor Former States Attorney Walter Holcomb of Litchfield county prose- cuted, assisted by Howard Landon.
 One hundred and 97 veniremen were examined over period of sev- eral weeks before the twelve man "blue ribbon" jury as it was desig- mated, was chosen. Eight hundred and 68 veniremen and women were questioned in the Waterbury con- spiracy case. over period of eight weeks before the jury of F and two alternates were chosen. The trial it. self lasted more than three weeks.
 The case went to the jury just be- fore the noon adjournment, Novem- Der 6, and at 4:l2 p. in., after about four and one half hours of delibera- ton, the jury returned verdicts of not guilty.

OF LABOR
 BOARD AWAITED
Sponsor of Legislation, Passed Yesterday, May
 Head 5-Man Com.

Washington, July 2l-(UP)--Or- ganized labor and the National La bor Relations board declined com ment today on house approval of an investigation of the board, pending selection of special five-man com- mittee which will conduct the in- quiry. They hoped that the com mittee which will be appointed by Speaker William B. Bankhead, would include some members not antag- onistic to the board and its admin istration of the National Labor Re- lations act. It was generally con ceded, however, that Rep. HowarC w. Smith, D., Va, who sponsored the legislation for the inquiry, would be named chairman.
 The house approved Smiths reso- lution yesterday, 253 to l35.
 Labor board officials took the atti- tude privately that almost every thing that could be said about the NNLRB had been aired in hearings before senate and house labor com mittees considering amendments tc the act.
 American Federation of Labor anC Congress of Industrial Organization leaders withheld comment. The AFT is sponsoring a series of amendments to the labor law and has accused the board of being partial to the C1O. Il generally has supported proposals for the inquiry, believing that some type of inquiry was inevitable.
 Administration leaders vigorously opposed the Smith resolution and resorted to parliamentary maneuvers in an attempt to defeat it, But a coalition of Republicans and Con servative Democrats overrode theii efforts.

LENDING BILL
 CUTS SOUGHT
Senate Bloc Would Limit Amount to Minimum
 Needed for l940

Washington, July 2l-tUP)- Senate Republicans and Conser. vatice Democrats drafted amend. ments to the administration's $2,. 800, 100000 lending bill today hoping to restrict 1t to the. minimum amount needed for 1940.
 Under the proposed amendment supported by several members of thu Senate Banking and Currency Com. mittee, the borrowing authority be cut to $770,000, ,000-the amount President Roosevelt and Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau Jr., estimated would be required fol the first year.
 Sen. Ava B. Adams, D., Colo, a leader of the economy bloc, said an amendment also would be offered to prohibit loans for projects that would be "in substantial competition with existing enterprise"
 Senate majority leader Alben w Barkley, D., Ky, submitted an amendment yesterday removing the revolving fund feature of the pro- gram and putting 1t on e year-to- year basis. Under such a plan, Re- publicans contended, Congress at thsi time ought not to authorize more than is needed for 1940.
 The amendments will be consid- cred by the banking committee, which is making strenuous efforts to dispose of the bill before the week -end so that 1t can be taken up in the senate Monday. Unless the senate begins consideration of 1t then, leaders said, congressional ad- journment before Aug. 1 is out of the question.
 Federal Loan Administrator Jesse H. Jones told the committee yester- day that the Reconstruction Finance corporation, which he formerly headed, has approximately $l,400.- 100000 of borrowing capacity at present, and that 1t alone could handle the entire program for at least a year.
 Jones testified, 1t was learned that his immediate requirements in- volved only authorization to make loans for sJ of the projects con- templated under the program. He (ContinIled on Page 4)
