To Install
Large Fans

Raleigh, June 24.-(AP)-The So
cial Security Board has turned down
two proposed methods of lowering
the temperature in the Unemployed
Compensation Commission offices
here, but another plan has been sub
mitted to the board, Governor Hoey
said today. The new proposal
would provide installation of eight
suction fans at a cost of about ST.

ity Board will meet Tuesday to con-
slider this plan, he added.
Engineers who worked out the pro
posal, Hoey said, told officials that
the fans would improve the efflcien-
cy of the employees in month sui
ficiently to pay for the cost OF the
units and the installation.
The governor said the eight fans
would be installed on the third floor
and would not constitute permanent

Continuing

Tokyo, June 24.-(AP)-A new air
battle between Japanese and Mon
golians in a continuation of fighting
along the border between Manchou-
kuo and Soviet Russian-dominated
Outer Mongolia was reported today
by the Japanese.
An unspecified number of Japa-
nese planes were said to have down

the Japanese planes had repulsed an
attack by so Mongolian craft in a
''fierce mid-air encounter" over a
river near a point north Of Lake
Bor.
The war office spokesman said an

cause "the Mongols, now a disspirit-
cd enemy, must demonstrate renew
ed strength in order to regain their
confidence"

ceived reports of severe fighting on

Senate Will

Price for Domestic
Metal Would Be Near

rum Lacking at Outset
of Saturday Session

Washington, June 24.-(AP)-
Western senators agreed today to
end their lengthy speech-making on
the administration monetary bill by
voting Monday on a silver price
fixing amendment
Majority Leader Barkley, Demo-
crat, Kentucky, obtained the agree
ment for vote on the amendment,
sponsored by Senator Pittman,
Democrat, Nevada, after the Sen
ate had to send its sergeant-at-arms
out to round up enough members to
conduct business at the unusual Sat-
urday session.
The amendment would require the
secretary of the treasury to pay $1.27
an ounce for domestic silver, COM
pared with the present price of 6464
cents under the silver purchase
program, continuation of which be-
yond the June 80 expiration date is
provided in the monetary bill.
The agreement to vote was OBJ
tanned after Majority Leader Bark
ley reprimanded the Senate for the
half-hour delay in obtaining a quo

The fight over monetary legisla-
ton, which extends for two years
the 100000 stabilization fund
and presidential powers for further
gold devaluation, has threatened to
hold up other important legislation
that the administration wants passed
before July l, including the $1,7OO,-

Cardiff, Wales, June 24.-(AP)-
Prime Minister Chamberlain char
acterized today Japanese actions in
Ticntsin as "high-handed and in
tolerably insulting" in a speech ad-
vsing Tokyo mo British. government
could submit to dictation from an
other power as to its foreign policy"
The prime minister made a brief
reference to the international situa-
ton in an address at an open air
conservative party rally in Cardiff,
which attracted thousands of his DO
Iitical supporters.
Chamberlain again expressed hope
for local adjustment of the trouble
in Tientsin, where the Japanese were
blockading the British and French
concessions.
"A local dispute between oursel-
YES and the Japanese over the al
legged completely of certain Chinese
in a MURDER" he said, "has been fol-
lowed by blockade of the British
and French concessions in Tientsin,
and by high-handed and intolerably
insulting treatment of British sub
jects by Japanese soldiers.
The matter is further complicat-
ed by public statements on the part
of local Japanese officials making
the incident preteXt for far-reach-
ing and quite inadmissible claims for
an alteration of the policy which we
and other governments hitherto fol-
lowed in these regions.
1T ought to be possible to settle
it (the incident) by negotiations.
But l am bound to add that no Bri-
tish government could submit to
dictatIon from another power as to
its foreign policy, and l trust, there
fore, that we are right in supposing
no such intention is in the mind of
the Japanese government"

Fight for Cut in Ex-

Chief, Coming Home

Washington, June 24.-(AP)-
Vice-President Garner is suggesting
that Congress make drastic reduc-
tlOnS in income tax exemptions at
the next session, it was reliably re-
ported today. Garner contends, it
was said, that the present $4,000
exemption for married couples
should be slashed to $1,000 and that
the $1,000 exemption for single per-
sons should be reduced to $500.
In most cases, this would increase
the existing tax on married couples
with incomes above $4,000 by $52
a year, and the tax on single indi-
viduals with incomes above $1,000
by $40 year. The proposal would
bring more than 100000 "little fell
lows" under the federal income tax
structure
Informed persons said the vice
president thinks a broadening of the
income tax base would have two
distinct benefits, that it would help
narrow the federal operating def
cit and would make new group of
citizens conscious of the effects of
deficit spending
said to believe, ultimately would re-
suit in pressure on Congress to re-
duce spending and balance the bud

New York, June 24.-(AP)-The
Yankee Clipper thundered away
from Pan-American Airways Long
Island base today on the first ''pre-

great circle route to Europe.
Thirty-thre persons, including 81
government and air line officials
were aboard. The big four-motoreo
seaplane took off from Port Wash
ington at 1927 a. M, and headed up
the New England coast. Captain
Harold Gray, commander, planned
brief stops at Shediac, N. B., and
BottWood, Newfoundland, before
setting his course for Foynes, Ire
land. He was due at Southampton
tomorrow afternoon.
The 40-ton ship was scheduled tc
follow the North Atlantic trail
blazed twelve years ago by Charles
A Lindbergh on his solo flight to
Paris. The Yankee Clippers flight
came one week from the start of the
first preview flight by the Atlantic
Clipper, which followed the southern
louCC. newspaper people ana radio
observers were carried on that trip.
Regular transatlantic passenger
service is to begin next Wednesday.
AS the plane left the waters of
Long Island Sound, almost an hour
behind the schedule because of
ceremonies incident to her departure,
her sister ship, the Atlantic Clipper,
was enroute home from Lisbon,
Portugal, by the southern route.
