Two Senators Oppose
Anti-RevoIution.biII
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Senator Borah, Republican, OF
Idaho said yesterday he would op-
pose legislation, passed by the House
which would fix a fine of $1,000 and
five years Imprisonment for any
person who knowingly advocated
overthrow of the Government by
force.
That is one of those things In
which you can wholly overdue the
punishment and really aid the cause
OF sedition rather than prevent it,
said Senator Borah, who is a men,
ber of the Judiciary Committee be-
fore which the legislation is pend
ing.
Arthur Garfield Hays, counsel for
the American Civil Liberties Union
wrote Chairman Ashurst Thursday
urging hearing on the legislation
He said that while it appeared to be
a reasonable provision, it was likely
to be perverted to an instrument OF
prejudice"
Senator Schwellenbach, Democrat
OF Washington expressed opposition
to the proposal, saying The DANCE,
OF such a provision is in its appli-
cation In time of stress

"the diplomatic struggle may end
and the plunge toward war started"
They added that every one involved
appreciated the risks and had taken
all precautions to avoid them.
Foreigners Stick to Concessions.
Almost no Britons attempted to
pass the japanese barricades be-
cause they and the Chinese were
singled out for strict searches, in
| volving partial disrobing. Most
other foreigners, about 10000 in
all, remained within the concessions
and were working out mode of re-
stricted living. There was no i'm
mediate prospect of serious food
shortage but there was almost no
milk to be obtained.
The blockade was imposed origi-
nally because British authorities re-
fused to hand over to japanese four
Chinese accused by Japanese of
killing a Tientsin official Since
then Japanese informants have out
lined these additional conditions for
possible settlement of the dispute:
Strict control of anti-Japanese Or
carnations; cessation of economic
disturbances in North China" de-
livery of 50,000,000 Chinese dollars
(about $6,000,0OO deposited in the
concession by the Chinese Nation
allst Government; unconditional
surrender by the British on all is
sues involved, including sweeping
pledges of future cooperation with
Japanese authorities"
Strict Blockade at Annoy.
Dispatches reaching Shanghai
from Annoy, South China, reported
that Japan was maintaining
strict blockade of Amoy's Kulangsu
international zone, with passage
permitted only those junks which
flew a special Japanese flag and
were registered with Annoy naval
headquarters.
1t was reported in reliable Shang-
hal quarters that the British
planned sending a destroyer to
Peitasho from Weihaiwei within a
few days to investigate the status of
Britons summering in that North
China beach resort. A number of
Americans from Tientsin and
Shanghai also are there.
japanese were understood recently
to have taken a census of ak
foreigners at Peitasho. Britons
feared that might foreshadow
possible blockade there.

Senate Group Hears
MacLeish Deny He
Is Communist
Librurion Of Congress
Appointee Admits
lnexperience.

Archibald MacLeish, for the last
year host to the Nieman Fellows in
Journalism at Harvard and recently
nominated by President Roosevelt
to be librarian Of Congress, appeared
before closed hearing of the Sen
ate Library Committee yesterday.
He denied he was a Communist,
admitted he had had little expert
ence as a librarian, but insisted he
could hold down the job to which
he has been named.
Mr.. MacLeiSh, who was escorted
TO the Senate committee room by
Thomas G. Corcoran, told the COM
mittee that he had never been more
surprised in his life than when he
was called to Washington and in
formed by the President he was to
be appointed librarian of Congress.
After the committee had heard
Mr.. MacLeish, it determined to call
Milton j. Ferguson, head of the
American Library Association, who
has protested vigorously against the
appointment on the ground that
Mr.. MacLeish is not properly quail
fed.
Members of the Senate committee
said that Mr.. MacLeish had made
a good impression at his hearing
and that there seemed no reason to
vote against his confirmation. How
ever, decision in the matter was re-
served until the opposition could be
heard.
The appointment of Mr.. MacLeish
was assailed in the House on Thurs
day by Representative Thomas, Re-
publican, of New Jersey, who
charged that Mr.. MacLeish had
allied himself with members of the
Communist party and had been one
of its ranking fellow travellers" He
asserted Mr. MacLeish had helped to
organize and had been a vice presi-
dent of the League OF American
Writers, an organization set up, ac-
cording to Mr.. Thomas, by the Com
munists.
Mr.. MacLeish read to the Senate
committee several of the articles
and speeches for which he had been
criticized as having Communist
leanings.

was withheld until all hope was
abandoned.
Disappearance of the Phenix. one
OF the finest submarine units in the
French Navy, marked the third great
submarine disaster in less than a
month. 1t followed loss of the Amer
lean Squalus with 26 lives and the
British Thetis, which was the steel
tomb for SO.
Even if located, naval authorities
expected great salvage difficulties
would be encountered in attempting
to learn the secret of the sunken
craft.
Pressure Heightens Task.
In places the China Sea is more
than 300 feet deep and pressure on
the submarine lying on the ocean
floor would give the salvagers and
divers an immense task.
The area where the Phenix made
her last dive was known, but swift
currents complicated the problem of
naval experts in their attempt to
locate the submarine.
The PheniX was built in 1927 and
Of type heretofore considered one
Of the most successful submarine
styles.
British naval sources in Hong
Kong said the French submarine
fotilla was carrying out maneuvers
northeast of Saigon before continu-
Ing to Hong Kong, where it was due
June 20.
The submarine mother ship Med
way, only British vessel equipped to
lend possible assistance, recently
left Hong Kong for Weihaiwai,
where she was believed now to be
loading provisions for relief of the
Tlentsin concession blockade.

have revolved about the monarch's
proclamation of a new cooperative
state on February 20, 1898, which
his people approved February "a in
plebiscite. Through it he gave the
country a Fascist flavor with himself
as the leader of one-party state.
On April 10, 1898, $500 Iron Guard
members were arrested upon the dis
closure of plans to capture Carol
and set up Fascist state.
Calinescu became Premier March
7, 1899. He is known as a foe of the

Sabotage Suspected
In Loss of Phenix

PARIS, June II (P.-Hints of
suspected sabotage began to creep
Into sections of the Paris press today
as the nation mourned the disap-
pearance of the 2,000-ton French
submarine Phenix, with II men
aboard, off the coast of Indo-China
Writers in several newspapers
asked questions like Can this be
the law of averages-that three
democracies lose three submarines
m less than month";"
The Communist paper L'Humanite
said: This commands suspicion. p"
1t linked three submarine disasters
suffered by the United States, Great
Britain and France with the loss
Of the 34,00O-ton French liner
Paris, which burned April 10 at her
lie Havre dock. French authorities
have worked on the theory that the
fire was set by foreign agents.
Families Are Notified.
Widows and relatives of the men
aboard the Phenix alternately felt
uncertainty and despair. Most of
the families, in the naval centers of
Toulon, Lorient and Brest, received
official notices which said briefly,
Submarine Phenix disappeared 36
hours ago. All hope abandoned"
The wife of the commander of the
Phenix, 1t. Comdr. o. NJ Boucha-
court, still clung to the belief that
her husband was alive.
Perhaps all is not lost" she said
II still believe in my husband and
his crew."
Bouchacourt, 43 years old, took
the Phenix to Far Eastern waters
because of the political tension
created by the Chinese Japanese
conflict. He was slated to be pro-
NOTED to e frigate captain, and his
wife had just received letter from
him about the time she got the Of
fetal telegram.
Diving Bells Being Bought.
News of the disappearance came
Just after Cesar Campinchi, min
lister OF marine, had opened nego-
tiations to purchase 10 diving bells
from the United States Navy. One
was used to save 80 from the
Squalus.
Ihere was no official statement on
the cause of the sinking, but naval
authorities believed there was some
accident aboard, perhaps trouble in
submerglng. Campinchi informed
Premier Deladier that every avail
able ship and diver in Far Eastern
waters was either engaged in
searching for the Prenix or on the
way. The Phenix left Toulon about
four months ago to relieve another
submarine.
The navy ministry announced
that because of national mourning
for the crew of the Phenix all fes.
tivities scheduled for Navy Week
which began yesterday, would be
fanceled.

Coast-Wide Sabotage Plot
Blamed in 9 Lumber Fires
BY the Associated Press.

SEATTLE. Aug. 10-Fire Chief
William Fitzgerald revealed last
night authorities were investiga ting
what they believed to be a coast
wise sabotage plot which has cost the
lumber industry thousands of
dollars.
He blamed yesterdays s55 900 fire
here. which destroyed the Pankratz
Lumber Co. and damaged two ad-
Joining industrial plants, on a fire
bug ring operating up the entire
coast from California to Washing
ton"
Mr.. Fitzgerald said he based his
belief that the Seattle fire was in
cendiary on the fact the plant was
ablaze in three different places when
a watchman discovered it.
Thousands of dollars worth of
property has been destroyed during
the last month in fires in seven
Washington cities. Last Sunday a
s275 900 fire destroyed the Eastern
Railway & Lumber Co.'S property in
Centralia. Only 10 days previous in
Chehalis. five miles away, the Palmer
lumber yards and nearby property
burned at loss of s220.0O0. Three
nights later two waterfront build
ings were destroyed at Vancouver,
Wash, with loss set at $4,000.
