Argentine President Faces
Showdown on Policy Today

tinas Congress prepared to convene
today q pm. E. w. T) with Radical
leaders in the lower house demand
ing . diplomatic break with the
Axis.
The Radicals also announced they
would demand that the President
revoke the state of siege which he
decreed last December and which
has stified all press comment on his
foreign policy.
Castillo was expected to defend
his foreign policy against the at
tacks Of the Radical-Socialist coai-
ton controlling the Chamber Of
Deputies by citing evidences Of CO.
operation with the United States
which ARE more useful and more
opportune than extreme measures"
He also was expected to press for
continuation of the state OF siege
through his control of the Senate.
Some political quarters speculated
that If legislative opposition proves
too strong, Castillo might indefl-
nitely suspend Congress-which al
ready has lost fivs months Of the
constitutional life because Of his
delay In fixing the opening date for
the current session.

What kind of work are American

They are engaged on comparatively
easy jobs. There are many who are
suffering from hunger because they
are not used to Japanese type food
and there are some who get very
lazy because Of the extreme heat.
Those VINO do not dc their part

Those who are hard to handle are

JapRaid on US.
Is Inevitable
Stinson Says
Declares Bombing
OF Washington
Not InconceivobIe'

Secretary of War Stimson said
today that the War Department
considered a Japanese air raid
on the United States to be inev-
liable, and that it was mot
wholly inconceivable" tn at
Washington would be bombed.
The raids, the Secretary told his
press conference, would be IAN
almost inevitable sequence" to the
devastating surprise bombing of
Toxic by American air forces under
Brig. Gen. Jimmy Doolittle.
The Secretary said the Army Is
doing everything possible TO meet
the expected attack, which he in
dicated was anticipated on the West
Coast. The East Coast, naturally,
would be safer, he said.
Whatever happens, we shant re-
lax our most effective defense-our
preparations for a major offensive"
he said.
Humiliating Blow.
The United States. through Gen,
Doolittle, inflicted singing, humil-
iating, surprise blow on the Japa-
nese as evidenced by their boasting
OF Japan's invulnerability at the
very time the bombers came over"
the Secretary said.
1t was in connection with dis
tances that the Secretary mentioned
the possible air attacks on WASH
ington. Answering a questioner, he
said that despite the great distance
between Japan and the East Coast,
an attack on the Capital was not
inconceivable. He did not discuss
the possibility of attack by Japaus
Axis partners.
Discussing the Army's prepared
ness for any air attack, principally
on the West Coast, he said:
To any one knowing and under
standing Oriental psychology as
do, they know that this attack on
Toxic has meant a most serious loss
Of face to the Japanese. BY the
same reasoning of Oriental psychol-
ogy, the only way by which this loss
OF face can be wiped out is by
return blow, if possible, with bigger
one than that nation suffered"
Perfect Defense Impossible.
Mr.. Stimson emphasized that as a
result OF the Toxic raid it becomes
the paramount duty for US to set our
house in order so far as possible to
meet what seems to be inevitable.
He reminded the press conference
that recently he and Gen. George
c. Marshall, Army Chief of Staff,
had referred to plans for an often
sive as the best means of defense.
There is no such thing as a per-
feet defense of our extensive coast
lines" he warned. And we must be
| prepared for some of these raiders
getting through.
But can assure you that we can
rely on our best defense and we will
not relax from what we conceive as
our greatest defense, which is the
preparation for major offensive"

Commissioners Ask

After months of consideration,
carrying out earlier forecasts,
the District Commissioners to-
day asked Congress to pass legis-
lation which would strip all
powers from the Board of Public
Welfare and give them to the
Board of Commissioners.
Under the proposed bill. which
was sent to the Senate and House
today. the Welfare Board would be
retained as an agency having only
advisory and visitorial duties.
1t is anticipated from statements
made by members Of the Welfare
Board during earlier discussion that
at least some members will tight
against the proposed change.
The bill was sent some weeks ago
to the Budget Bureau, in keeping
with Federal rules, for determina-
ton If it was in accord with the
policies OF the President. 1t was re-
turned with a statement that the
bill appeared to be confined to the

Mussolini Purges

Home Front Grip
Answer From Viehy on
Territorial Claims
Awaited in Rome
BY the Associated Press.

ny INC AScOS2eSco EISsss
BERN, Switzerland, May 28.-
Premier Mussolini has under
taken a sweeping new purge Of
his Fascist party in a drive to
strengthen his grip on the Ital-
ian home front while awaiting a
declaration from Vichy before
pressing further his territorial
claims on France, according to
foreign reports reaching here to-
day.
1t was understood that a friend of
Mussolini and Pierre Laval, French
chief Of government, was en- route
to Rome with French counter
proposals to Italian claims to Nice,
Corsica and Tunisia.
These proposals were said to sug-
gest that France would consent to
italian police supervision over some
areas, probably including the French
North African port Of Tunis, but
that all such territory remain IN
French possession.
Duce Moves Cautiously.
Mussolini apparently was moving
with caution. The home front COM
pelled vast revision" within the
Fascist party organization.
Mussolini already mas removed
more than a dozen high party
members in recent weeks and re-
placed q number of party secretaries
in key cities, according to reports
reaching here.
Now, it was said, every party
member is being subjected to new
examination, subject to exclusion
from the organization.
Under these measures, public ON
cials henceforth will be permitted
to assume administrative posts only
with the authorization Of the party
and at Mussolini's personal order.
Modelled on Hitler's s. S.
II Duce thus appeared intent on
shaping a smaller, strong, more
easily controlled party modelled after
Adolf Hitler's S. S. elite Guard
including only members on whose
absolute loyalty he could count in
enforcing national discipline.
Such was the condition in the
early days of Fascism, and a Rome

encounter or in earlier operations
following the first attack on the

Naval authorities have been
aware that submarine wolf pack
was operating in this area; hence
the multiple attack on the Blakeley
was no surprise.

By the ASsoeiated Press. -
Japanese headquarters asserted
today that Japanese troops, cli-
making a 200-mile advance in 10
days, had captured China's gold
flower" city of Kinhwa, capital
of the eastern seaboard province
of Chekiang, and thereby cut on
one Of Generalissimo Chang
Kai-shek's vital supply routes.
Chekiang Province Is strategically
important as q potential springboard
for an Allied offensive against Japan.
Chinese dispatches failed to con-
hrm the Japanese claim. They as
serted that Chinese defenders firmly
intrenched on the outskirts Of Kin
hwa were holding their ground at
last reports, but admitted that the
city was In grave danger.
Fierce Battle Reported.
A Chinese communique last night
said fierce battle was raging
around the city after two heavy as
saults had been beaten OF and more
than 500 Japanese had been killed
by land mines alone.
A Chungking spokesman said that
in trying to cross the Chen
tang River near Kienteh, about 30
miles north of Kinhwa, the Japa-
nese used poison gas, which felled
about third Of the Chinese de-
tenders.
He did not mention a number but
said only some of our troops have
gas masks"
The gas did not appear to be .
particularly deadly type, he said.
Japanese field headquarters said
Japanese soldiers completed occupa-
ton Of the capital at 7 am. today.
Kinhwa lies 200 airline miles
southwest Of Shanghai and 800 miles
east Of Chungking, China's wartime
capital.
A Japanese ARMY spokesman said
more than 100000 Chinese troops
had been concentrated in the Che
kiang theater and that the fall OF
Kinhwa meant the military collapse
Of the zone.
Lungling Encircled.
Far across China, in the south

that Chinese troops had flung Japa-
nese invasion columns into headlong
retreat and encircled the enemy at
