Khyber Pass
BY the Associated Press.


NEW DELHI, India, Feb. o.
Bloody combat broke out today on
the troubled northwest frontier as
British military forces moved into
that jagged land of ambuscade and
adventure to clean out marauding
tribesmen and perhaps to meet
again their old and elusive foe, the
Fakir of Ipi.
"Our casualties were light" said
military communique. THE second
Of two columns encountered con-
siderable opposition from tribesmen
concealed in caves on either side of
the Tangai Valley
Aided by artillery and two COM
panies of Gurkha Rifles (native
troops), I'VE eventually seized the
caves" it said.
The newest Of nearly a century Of
campaigns to pacify and subdue the
wild mountain men was linked here
with rumors Of possible Soviet Rus
sian incursions through Afghaniston
and q Britain at war in Europe
intends to take no unnecessary
chances.
Particularly designated for a
cleanup Is the Ahmadzai salient,
fanking the famous-and vital
Khyber Pass.
In that region Mehr Dill and two
other native leaders under the in
fuence of the doughty old fakir are
reported to have strongholds from
which they can launch looting raids
into the Bannu and Kohat dis
tricts of North Waziristan.

japan Warns America
45,000-Ton Warship
Means Naval Race
U. S. Building Program
Causes Apprehension
Among Nipponese
BY A. T. STEELE.

Chicago Daily News Foreign Correspondent
TOXIC, Feb. 22.-The spokesman
of the Japanese Navy today fatty
declared that the decision of the
American Navy to construct a
45,000-ton battleship means the be-
ginning of a naval race.
Capt, Yazuru Okuma, who made
this ASSERTION at thef weekly naval
press conference, told the correspond
ents that the Japanese Navy was seri-
ously disturbed over the American
Nayy's Impressive building program.
He did not say whether Japan would
build ships equal or bigger In size,
but said, Leave it to the imagi-
nation"
Whatever the Japanese program.
it is evident that a great deal of
alarmist sentiment regarding Jap
nese-American sea rivalry is preva-
lent among the Japanese naval
leaders. Some younger officers are
convinced that it is only matter Of
time before the two navies will clash
in the Pacific. These doubts and
suspicious seem to be motivated by
uncertainty as to the purposes be-
hind the repeated American naval
demonstrations in the Pacific.
Yesterdays announcement by the
foreign Office that so far 81 of the
more than 200 Japanese American
disputes awaiting negotiation In
Toxic have been settled, brought no
improvement in Japan's interna-
tional outlook. It is recognized that
the matters settled were only of
superficial nature, and that their
solution contributes nothing towards
a basic solution of Japanese-Amer-
ican differences.
The British are becoming diplo-
matically active here in an attempt
to make up the ground lost in the
Asama Maru wrangle. Oflcials Of
the British Embassy for the first
time see a prospect for an early
settlement of the prolonged Tientsin
dispute and admit that the discus
sions may 60 on from there into
broader issues. The British obvi-
ously are embarking on q policy Of
conciliating the Japanese, but how
far they will be willing to go to
satisfy Japanese desires in China Is
still a mystery.

Jupiter and Venus Star
In Sky Show Toniuht

Jupiter and Venus are putting on
little get-together in the heavens
again tonight. Many Washington.
lans noted their brilliance and prox-
unity last night.
Star gazers were barred from the
telescopes of the Naval Observatory
but found refuge in the Georgetown
Observatory under the Rev. DR.. Paul
|. A McNally, S. j.
Father McNally said the observa-
tory would be open tonight but
added that visitors had better be on
hand before 7 O'Clock to get a good
view. The stars go below the hori-
zon shortly thereafter. he explained.
The two planets are plainly visible
even with the naked eye. They were
close to the zero mark on the west
ern horizon and only about one de-
gree apart.
Five of the planets+Mercury,
Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn,
have been practically ON q line dur
ing the past month, it was indicated.
Father McNally, director of the
observatory for the past IL years,
made several photographs of the two
close planets.
Persons have been barred from the
Naval Observatory since last Sep
tember under ruling by the Secre-
tary of the Navy that no outsiders
would be permitted in the observa-
tory during the duration of the war.

struck q taxicab.
All Of the 18 known persons bitten,
many of them children, were given
treatment by physicians and in

Guild Shop Carries
No Threat 10 Press,
Crawford Asserts
President Of Newsmen's
Union Testifies Before
House Committee

The guild shop in newsrooms
carries no threat to freedom Of the
press, Kenneth q. Crawford, presi-
dent Of the American Newspaper
Guild. today told q House Labor
subcommittee holding hearings on
the Wagner Labor Relations Act.
Mr.. Crawford's testimony was
offered in rebuttal to that earlier
this week by Oliver @. Holden, exec
utive director Of the American
Press Society. who urged an amend
ment to the act which would put up
q barrier against closed-shop con-
tracts, on the ground that this was
necessary to preserve the integrity
Of the press.
(The difference between the
closed shop and the guild shop
is that whereas under the former
only union members could be en-
ployed, under the latter the en-
ployer Is free to hire whomever
he chooses, but the employe must
become member of the guild
within a specified time. usually 80
days)
Believes "Guild Shop" Necessary.
Mr.. Crawford declared his organ
ization believed the guild shop 'is
necessary to our continued growth
and the stabilization OF wages"
He added that Of approximately
200 contracts which the guild has
with newspapers, so provide for the
guild shop
THE closed shop is an effective
device of unionism, and the cry of
freedom of the press is subterfuge
to deny 1t to u.s." the witness said.
Several members of the Commit
tee questioned Mr.. Crawford closely
about the possibility of "colored
news resulting from closed shop
contracts. but the guild head de-
clared this would not be possible as
newspaper owners decide what is to
go into the paper.
Hypothetical Proposition.
What would happen If a Guild
official ordered a member to color
the news and he refused?" Repre-
sentative Ramspeck, Democrat, of
Georgia, the chairman, asked.
1T couldn't happen" said Mr..
Crawford.
Suppose as hypothetical propo-
sition that it did happen?" the
chairman pressed.
Mr.. Chairman, he would raise so
much hell it would be terrible" the
witness said.
Mr.. Crawford, who is Washington
correspondent for the New York Post
and the Nation Magazine, said that
newspapers play news according to
their particular policy" and that
their stats recognize this policy and
shape their writing accordingly.
Every newspaper, I think, to Ger
tain extent colors its news in con-
formity with its policy" the witness
said, although he emphasized that
he was not charging that editors
deliberately distort the news"
