'Swastika' Plane
Seen Over Site

Probe to Determine
If Of German Origin
BY the Associated Press.

oS lHe hSSoCldleu FIeSS.
BOSTON, Sept. IA mysterious
'swastika-marked" airplane, flying
over the same general area where
an unidentified submarine has been
in operation. was reported today by
group of American trawlers fish
ing approximately 100 miles off this
port.
Capt Michael Shea of the trawl-
er Storm, in a radio message to the
Associated Press, said one of his
seamen had seen the German swas-
tika on wings of the gray-painted,
single-motored biplane as it twice
circled the fishing fleet at a low
altitude yesterday before heading
OF on the great circle route that
would lead to Europe.
At the same time. however, Capt
Shea reported another of the fish,
ermen argued the planes markings
more closely resembled a star than
a swastika.
Coast Guard officials here prompt
ly reported they were starting an
investigation. but would hazard
no immediate official opinion as
to whether the plane was of Ger
man origin.
simultaneously, the traWler Della
ware reported it had been informed
by the trawler Shawmut on Georges
Banks that a submarine had come
up close beside it on Sunday night.
Further details were not immedi-
ately available.
Fourth Report on Sub.
This was the fourth report of a
submarine off the New England
coast. The first came to the Coast
Guard last week from the Pollock
Rip Lightship, followed by another
from the fishing schooner Frances
C. Denehy, which said strange
undersea craft had been sighted
last Wednesday and Thursday on
Georges Bank, in an area where
United States Navy officials said
no American submarine was in oper-
alton Still another report of a sub
marine-this time off Nantucket
Lightship-came today from officers
of the British Arandora Star, which
docked safely in New York.
The Boston water front was
stirred with conflicting discussion
about the strange plane. Some
argued the craft might have been

The King and Queen Elizabeth,
who Cancelled all social engagements

While the Queen visits hospitals,

Germans in Toxic Urge
Japanese- Soviet Pact
By A, T, STEELE,

Chicago Daily News Foreisn Correspondent.
TOXIC, Sept. IL (By radio) Ger
mans in Toxic are doing all in their
power to persuade the Japanese to
negotiate non-aggression agree
ment with Soviet Russia. There is a
section of Japanese opinion that
favors the idea, but nothing to in
dicate that the ruling heads yet are
giving it serious thought. Such q
move would be an abrupt about-face
in national policy. The weight OF
articulate opinion is at present
heavily against it.
The German aim seems to be to
check the drift of japanese opinion
toward a friendlier relationship with
the democracies, particularly Great
Britain. Next to the China problem
now in its third headachy year
the Russian question is the most
perplexing issue facing the Japanese
government. Majority opinion here
is that every effort should now be
made to avoid q Russo-Japanese wal
until settlement of the China ques-
ton Is in sight.

House Rules Head
Predicts Session
About October 7
Soboth Urges Roosevelt
To Consider Measure
To Curb Profiteerinq
By ]. A. O'LEARY.

A prediction that the special
session of Congress to revise the
Neutrality Act will convene on or
about october 2. was made today
by Chairman SABBATH of the House
Rules Committee, following visit
to the White House. in which he
urged President Roosevelt to con-
slider also -profiteering legisla-
ton.
The veteran House member en-
phasized that the President did not
commit himself on the date for the
special session. but Mr.. SABBATH in
dicated he personally believed the
date will be an early one.
In turning to the question of
food prices, Representative SABBATH
SAID he made this suggestion to Mr.
Roosevelt, because what is going
on now is unjustifed.
He charged that wholesalers ano
manufacturers with large stocks or
hand are raising prices. and he
called this IAN outrage and a
shame.
Mr.. SABBATH said the Presidents S
recent statement on the subject did
some good, but he added, they
have not stopped" Lifting the sugar
marketing quotas was good thing
ne said, but affects only one COM
modify.
The Illinois representative said
he had not decided how Congress
could approach the problem, but
suggested it might be done through
the taxing power.
Mr.. SABBATH said he had heard
some rumors that an effort might
be made to attach the anti-lynching
bill to the neutrality revision meas
ure. Any such move. he said
would be contemplate"
Although he favors anti-lynching
legislation, he said he did not be-
lieve such a parliamentary maneu-
yer would be approved even by
friends of the measure.
The anti-lynching bill is in a
position where it could be called
up in the House, since the required
2l8 signatures have been obtained
to petition to give it right of way
Representative SABBATH said. how
ever, the chances are no action will
be taken at the special session, de-
claring such controversial matters
should not be injected at this time
Amended Bill Probable.
AS TO the course neutrality will
take. he said, he presumed the Sen
ate would amend the bill passed by
the House at the recent session,
after which the House could either
adopt the revision or work it out in
conference. Asked if he felt the
administration neutrality proposals
would be adopted, Mr.. SABBATH said
he did not see what else Congress
could do.
Il have always been opposed to
militarism and war, but 1 do not see
what else We can do" Mr.. SABBATH
said. I'VE must protect our own
interests
The rules chairman said the
President impressed on him the fact
that politics should be adjourned for
the emergency and admoniShed him
not to bring in politics. He said a
considerable number of Congress
members are anxious to know when
the special session will convene in
order to adjust their affairs.
