CHUNGKING, Nov. 3.-For-
eign Minister T. v. Soong said
today at his first press confer
ence since arriving from Wash

United States with "a full and
complete assurance Of victory In

He said he had come back to
China with the impression that the
greatest difficulties are over-the
worst has passed. I left with a
feeling Of restrained optimism"
Explaining his feeling in part, he
said he was struck by the tremendous
energies Of the United States.
America Is building a great army,
a tough army, an unbeatable army"
the Minister declared. America Is
not lighting to the last Briton or the

The question of increased aid to

Senate Petition Asks
Naming Of Barley
To Supreme Court
Round Robin Declares
Majority Leader Is
'EminentIy Qualified
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated PreS3.
A round robin" urging President
Roosevelt to appoint Senate Ma
jority Leader Barley to the Su-
preme Court was in circulation
among members of the Senate today,
with the prospect that it soon would
be signed by a bipartisan majority
Senator Mcclellan, Democrat, of
Tennessee, who addressed the letter
to the President, told reporters he
was convinced no more suitable man
than Senator Barley could be found
to fill the vacancy created by the
recent resignation of Associate JUS
tice James F. Byrnes to become
economic sterilization director.
EminentIy Qualified.
Senator Barley is eminently
qualified for the place through his
long public service" Senator Nc
Kellar declared. Il would like to
see the President appoint him.
Few politically-minded legislators
gave Senator Barley much more
than an outside chance for the ap-
pointmert. A move vacating the
Senate majority leadership would be
almost certain to be followed by a
hot contest which might find the
administration hard pressed to keep
this highly important position In
entirely friendly. hands.
Senator Barley, now home in
Kentucky, has made no statement
himself, but was known to be in 4
receptive mood.
The round robin" petition, out
lining the 64-year-old Democratic
leaders record during % years In
Congress, was reported to bear the
signatures of several Republicans, as
we'll as most Of the Democratic
Senators who were in town.
Prosecutor and Judge.
Senator Barley, who served as
prosecuting attorney and county
judge Of McCracken County Ken
lucky, before his election to the
House In 1913, has been ma jority
leader Of the Senate since 1887 when
he defeated the late Senator Har-
rlSOn OF mississippi for that post by
one vote after President Roosevelt
had let it be known he favored Sena-
tor Barley.
A half-dozen Senators have been
mentioned In cloakroom discussion
as a possible successor to Senator
Barley, If he were elevated to the
court, including Senators Connally
of Texas, George Of Georgia, Hill Of
Alabama, Hayden of Arizona, Nc
Kellar and Brown Of Michigan, If
the latter wins reelection In today's
balloting.
Most conjecture in Congress has
centered around the possibility that
the President might appoint Solicitor
General Fahy or Attorney General
Biddle to the court post but there
have been suggestions that Mr..
Roosevelt could do worse than name
a Western Republican.

loss, meeting no Japanese fighters
and only sporadic ground fire, the

nese Army spokesman at Hankow,
said two planes attacked the region
of Hankow and Wuchang, which Is

two matched Chinese houses aflre
and collapsing third. A number
of Chinese were reported killed. but

said to have fallen into the Yangtze
