the enemy would take cover or the
major would quit pointing out ex-

tight, low vertical banks.

ton that Home Security Minister
Herbert S. Morrison was creating a
GestapO in Britain like the Nazi

of Lords today by Lord Ponsonby.
In a long address Lord Ponsonby
defended the Duke of Bedford. who
has been under surveillance of the
Home Security Ministry because of
pacifist utterances and alleged deal
ings with the Germans.
Lord Ponsonby, who has been
elected to Parliament on both the
Liberal and Laborite tickets, said of
the Duke:
Il know him to be a hish-m minded,
disinterested and absolutely sincere
man, jealous of the good name OF
his country and intent upon her
future welfare"

Tavistock. made a trip to Fire in

government thought of the situation
in the Sea of Japan, where the sink
ing of at least two japanese vessels
has been officially blamed by Toxic
on drifting Soviet mines.
"The Japanese Army is prepared
for any eventuality." declared Pre-
mier Toto, who also is War Minister.
The navy has completed all prep
arations to meet any change in the
situation, responded Shimada.
Budget Approved Quickly.
The Diet gave swift approval Of an
extraordinary military budget Of g.
soo, 900 900 yen, and the organ Of the
Foreign once declared the choice OF
peace or war in the Pacific is that of
the United States.
Foreign Minister Togo disclosed
that the japanese government had
refused to accept the Soviet reply to
Japan's recent protest against the
sinking Of the ship Kehi Maru in the
Sea of Japan. allegedly by mines.
The Japanese government re-
fused to accept the Soviet reply on
the grounds of insufficiency. The
Soviet claims mines at Vladivostok
are being planted against 1talo-
German powers" Togo told the
Budget Committee of the Lower
House.
He added that whatever claims
| the Soviet may make, Japan Is pre-
pairing all measures to press her
points in regard to the mines.
Says U. S. Holds Key.
"If America does not desire war
in this part of the world" said the
Japan Times and Advertiser. which
the Foreign ONCE controls, 1T
should realize that it holds In It's
own hands the key to the solution
of the situation"
Japan, 1t said, now has laid
down her cards and waits for Amer
lea to make the next move"
1t had been q foregone conclu-
sion that the upper chamber would
give the military appropriation the
equivalent nominally of sS74,0O0,-
0OO)-the same quick approval as
that which sped it there last night
from the House of Representatives
while the press declared the strained
international situation already had
gone from bad to worse"

tive program. the Peers approving

There are some Senators who say

Senator Connally told reporters. III

labor can't run a plant, there is no

Herring Calls for Action.
Senator Herring, Democrat, Of
Iowa last night called for immediate
legislation to forestall defense
strikes.
Events Of the last few hours,
the Senator declared in an address
in the National Radio Forum broad
cast over a network of the National
Broadcasting Co., indicate the rap
idly increasing necessity for such
legislation.
Senator Herring declared the "su-
preme moment" had arrived when
every patriot, regardless OF party or
views on matters OF policy, must
drop every petty dispute, forget
every animosity, and stand shoulder
to shoulder for a united America.
The Iowan pointed out that he
had introduced legislation to pro-
vide a method for the settlement OF
labor disputes in defense industries
and predicted that If it became law
"as I am confident it will. labor will
unite in demanding a continuance
of many of its. provisions and their
application to private industry As
a permanent advantage in the set
tlement of industrial disputes"

portunity next week to consider leg
islation designed to curb defense

The cloakrooms also heard talk
that President Roosevelt thinks vel
OF an idea embodied in one portion

ticular provision would prohibit
strikes unless voted by majority
of the workers in secret ballot
taken under Government super
vision.

All this Red activity was sudden

After IL hours with the valiant de-
tenders, it gives this war CORE
spondent considerable chagrin to
have to report that Cheraw, accord
ing to persistent rumor, fell into the
hands of the invaders late this
afternoon The enemy, however,
has greater mechanization, fire
power and mobility, being composed
to a large extent of armored units.
The Reds, it would seem, have the
machines while the Blues have the
men.
The major was flying low for sew
eral reasons. Our lack of altitude
enabled us to slip under forma-
ton of six red pursuits, apparently
unobserved. Had they spotted us,
they could not have dived on us to
come up under our tail. Too, a
hedge-hopping plane carried with 1t
an element of surprise for ground
troops, especially those in contact
with the enemy, the major eX-
planned.
After scouting the attacking force
We went on to Camden Airport to
see if by chance the Reds were load

there. 1t seems they were balkeo
in this enterprise earlier. The only
military ships were several squad
rons of trainers. We swung north
up the CataWba River to Charlotte
where a swarm of Red pursuits Wert
grounded. The major skirted the
airport, flying low. The ground haze
hid us a moment after we saw two
pursuit ships moving into take-of
positions. We circled before WI
headed east for home.
