Two Grenades Hurled
Al Consulate Of
Britain in 1singtao
Building Damaged, but
None Injured, Says
Shanghai Embassy
By the Associated Press.

SHANGHAI, July 1.-THE Brit
ish Embassy disclosed tonight that
two hand grenades had been thrown
by unidentified persons at the Brit
ish Consulate in Tsingtao, shattering
windows, but injuring no one.
The Tsingtao Consulate had been
damaged previously in anti-British
demonstrations Monday and We'd
nesday, which British authorities
said were Japanese-inspired.
A Japanese dispatch from Tsingtao
said today's grenade throwers prob
ably were anti-Japanese agitators
trying to aggravate British-Japanese
relations"
Tsingtao has become the chief
center of British-Japanese strife,
which has spread to many parts of
China.
American Property Damaged.
Travellers from Tsingtao disclosed
that American property was dam
aged in anti-British demonstrations
there Monday and Wednesday and
that the British Consulate had been
practically in a state of siege since
July 3.
They said the premises of the
Standard Vacuum Co.. along with
many British firms and the con-
sulate, were stoned. Later repre-
sentatives of the Anti-British Com
mittee and the Japanese consulate
visited Standard officials, apologized
for the mistake" and arranged for
repairs.
The travellers brought the first
detailed account of the anti-British
outbreaks which had been in prog
ress for three weeks.
No Relaxation At Tientsin.
The Japanese, meanwhile, indi-
Gated they would apply greater pres
sure to the British at Tientsin,
where the British and French con-
cessions have been blockaded since
June IA.
Domei, Japanese news agency,
quoted Tientsin military circles as
saying there would be no relaxa-
ton of the blockade restrictions in
connection with the impending
ritish-Japanese conference at To-
kio to settle the controversy.
On the contrary, they said they
had prepared second and third
plans for Tightening the blockade
and that these plans would be ap-
piled depending on the British at
titude,"

Bankers Offer Plan
For Loans 10 Ease
D. {. Pay Crisis
Funds to Be Advanced
Only Where Needed
To Prevent Hordship
pictures on Page BIZ

In a move to prevent hardship on
District employees who would really
be in need of cash after tomorrow S
prospective payless payday, tn Dis
trict Commissioners today approved
''in principle" an offer by Washing
ton bankers to advance loans to
District workers.
Spokesman for the group of men,
bers of the District Bankers Associa-
ton, however. said they did not an
ticipate the demand would run to
more than $4,000. The full pay roll
tomorrow for the 1880 District
workers is estimated to exceed $780,
900.
Commissioner George E. Allen
who took charge of the negotiations
for the Commissioners, said the idea
was for the loans to be given only
to those who really needed the cash
and who otherwise might fall into
the hands of loan sharks"
The bankers emphasized that the
plan would be extended to any and
all District government workers
without any charge being made and
with the bankers receiving no profit
Another Conference Planned.
Under the tentative plan, which
was expected to become formal ar
rangement at another conference at
pm. unless some unexpected legal
hitch developed, is for the bankers
to provide the money for disburse-
ment by Maj. James Lusby, the Dis
trict's disbursing officer. The en-
ploys deciding he needed money
would apply to his department head
for approval. This officer, agreeing
to request, would lay it before
Commissioner Allen, who would sign
it if he thought it proper The en-
ploye would be required to sign a
note, Mr.. Allen said, and when Con-
gress finally provides the District
with operating money, the worker
would be expected to permit the
money loan to be deducted from his
delayed official pay.
Mr.. Allen said it was his under
standing the note or the receipt
given or whatever would be the for
NAL paper signed by the borrowing
worker, would not constitute an Off
cial lien against the Government
pay of the Government worker. He
had been asked whether Govern
ment pay would be assigned"
Il expect every District worker
who gets such an advance of his
pay, or any portion of it, will see
that the money goes back to the
banker in due course" said Mr.
Allen. do not believe there will be
any difficulty on that score. How
ever, if any person is so derelict in
his responsibility, the bankers would
have to stand the loss, so far as !
can see."
The plan was outlined by Mr..
Allen shortly before noon by a COM
mittee from the District Bankers
Association, including Ord Preston,
president of the association and of
the Union Trust Co.; Hilleary G.
Hoskinson, vice president of Riggs
National Bank, and George NJ

fTert OF Neutrality Message,

| By the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt told Congress
today neutrality legislation should
be enacted this session "for the
cause of peace and in the interest Of
American neutrality and security"
In terse, 10O-word special mes
sage, Mr.. Roosevelt forwarded q
statement by Secretary Hull en-
titled Peace and Neutrality" in
which the State Department head
referred to "the present situation of

Supports Hull Statement.
The Presidents message gave full
approval to Secretary Hull's state
| ment.
After a reference to the 12-11 vote
of the Senate Foreign Relations
Committee to defer action on neu-
trality until next session, Mr.. Roose-
welt said:
1T has been abundantly clear to
me for some time for the cause of
peace and in the interest of Ameri-
can neutrality and security, it is
highly advisable that the Congress
at this session should take certain
much needed action.
I'm the light of present world con-
| ditions l see no reason to change
that opinion"
The document then continued
with Secretary Hull's statement.

policy, as though abnormal and
critical conditions did not exist.
THE entire question of peace and
neutrality at this serious juncture
in it's possible effects upon the
safety and the interest of the United
States during coming months is of
the utmost importance"
The Presidents message followed
denial at his press conference this

possibility of congressional recess
until october.
Ban on japanese Studied.
The Foreign Relations Commit
! tee. meanwhile, moved into the spot
light again, with Chairman Pittman
predicting approval soon of his reso-
luton to ban shipments of war sup
plies to Japan.
The committee was called together
for a morning meeting to discuss
the Pittman proposal. Isolationists
responsible for shelving the admin
istration's bill to repeal the general
arms embargo moved also to block
this resolution-or at least to have
it thoroughly debated"
At the conclusion of the meeting,
it was disclosed that the committee
asked Secretary Hull for an opinion
on whether the Pittman resolution
would violate 1911 treaty of amity
and commerce between Japan and
the United States.
Senator Pittman said discussion
hinged largely on this point. He ex-
pressed the belief the Hull opinion
would be written.
Before the meeting, Senator Pitt
man reiterated that the subject OF
neutrality is dead so far as the COM
mittee is concerned"
He added he would oppose as not
germane any effort to attach a neu-
trality bill as rider to his japanese
resolution. There also were indica-
tlons he might move to discharge
the committee from consideration

Longest Film Scene
Whole Reel

What is probably the longest sin
gle scene since the advent of talk
ing pictures was enacted recently
by Carole Lombard and Cary Grant
for R-K-O-Radio's "In Name Only"
Running fraction under 10 min
utes (flm footage for cameras with
out reloading is exactly 10 minutes)
the scene will reach the screen just
as it was filmed, without inter-
spersed close-ups or varied angles.
Most long scenes are broken up
into short takes. Director John
Cromwell decided upon one long
sustained sequence in order to build
up and maintain a definite psyche
logical feeling which marks the
story's emotional climax.
Dialogue was about evenly di-
vided between Lombard and Grant,
but Cary worked under g. handicap
with his lips puckered by spirit gum
and collodion to make them look
fever-stricken.

Cinema Taxicabs

is to be found in Hollywood, but just
to keep the record straight and the
Chamber Of Commerce from losing
its equilibrium, let 1t be known that
the exorbitant tariff obtains only to
taxicabs used in motion picture Sc
quences. Three cabs used in New
York street scene sequence for '"The
Housekeeper's Daughter" now being
filmed at the Hal Roach Studios,
Travelled a distance of exactly 30
feet. Rental on the vehicles
amounted to $40 each for the scene,
or q total of $50. Placing the tariff
on a mileage basis would make the
cab fare amount to exactly 81 $50 a
mile, whereupon studio accountants
drew q deep breath and decided to
cut the sequence, just for the prin-
ciple Of the thing. Fortunately, the
scene had already been shot!

reputation as the screens most tai
ented romancers.
Universal studio plays Cupid to
the couple this time and it was
perhaps inescapable that it's work
should have a reminiscent quality.
Even that of Cupid himself does.
The situations, of course, are
changed as radically as possible,
but the characters are substan-
TALLY the same and the emotions
involved are identical. The polish
which the principals give the script,
however, hits an entertainment
level that is high tribute to their
virtuosity on the human heart
strings.
The major respect in which when
Tomorrow Comes" differs from its
predecessor Is that the comedy
prelude to the poignant romance is
neither so long nor so funny. The
gulf between Cinderella and Prince
Charming is the wider now for the
fact that she is a waitress, albeit
beautiful and talented one, while he
Is a brilliant concert pianist. The
gulf Is bridged by his fascination
for her, not as the girl who brought
the cheese, but rather as an idealist
on the verge of leading a mattresses
strike. Boyer is completely capti-
vated, as who would not be? With
out offending the most delicate sem
sibility on the labor-capital subject,
this overture to heartbreak has been
turned into something quite
amusing.
After this introduction the tone
Of the romance becomes steadily
more somber. Needless of the fact
that he is married and beyond hope
OF freedom because his wife is insane
and he an honorable man, a flood
sweeps them into each others arms.
The night of the flood, a tense and
menacing thing spent in a deserted
church, is destiny's gift to them. In
its wake comes separation and the
loneliness that only the truest,
deepest love can know.
Miss Dunno has been associated
so long with brittle comedy, the kind
that makes such gay mockery of
love, that it is a bit surprising to
find her in her latest predicament.

fact that Miss Dunno is not merely
comedienne.
To his role of artist-lover Boyer
brings all that Gallo charm and
velvety voice that enables him to
break a heart with less effort than
any rival for top honors as screen
romancer. His most deeply emo
tional sequences with Miss Dunno
are treated with gloss which is
inimitable, a technique so perfect
that it makes understatement of the
charge that "Latins are lousy
lovers" Boyer, alone, is not a
lousy lover. He also Is good at
