Jap Markets Closed
After Fatal Shooting
OF Several Formosans
BY The Associotsd Press

TOKYO, Sunday, July 2l.-Tokyo's
Shibuya and Shimbashi stall mar
kets were shut down today after a
series of weekend shootings in
which several Formosans were killed
and at least IA wounded.
Japanese members of the Matusda
Gumi Association, which holds an
iron grip on Tokyo's huge black
market around the Shimbashi rail-
road station, said Tokyo police or
dered the shops closed on instruc-
tions from the American provost
marshal.
The clashes brought contradictory
statements from Japanese and Chi
nese involved. While the Chinese
said four were dead, the United
States Army reported only two killed
and IA wounded. Other sources said
UP to 81 were wounded.
The shooting was caused by i'll
feeling between Formosan stall mar
ket operators and the Matsuda
Gumi Association which had rented
spaces to them.
A Matsuda spokesman said that
the Formosans were selling rice
and rubber goods which the Japan
ese were not permitted to handle
He said that japanese police could
not prevent these sales by Formo-
sans who are new Chinese Allied
nationals.
Crouched on the f1oor at his head
quarters beneath a picture of Giichi
Matsuda. the black market boss, who
was assassinated recently in gang
land style, the only English-speak-
ing member of Matsuda Gumi care
fully crossed his legs to preserve the
crease in his white duck trousers
and said:
I'VE think the markets are neces-
sary for the japanese people. We
are thinking of appealing to gen.
eral headquarters.
Japanese police station master
told us late this afternoon to close
shops, so we closed. We not open
until authorities say so. Somebody
with police master say we might
be closed one month, two months.
We don't know"
Chinese, blaming japanese police
for last nights shootings, urged that
Gen. Macarthur disarm them but
the police director. Nobure Tani-
kawa. countered that such a step
would deter the campaign against
black markets.

Sinister influences Seen
By Byrd in Compton

WOODSTOCK, Va, Aug. 3 (P.-
Senator Byrd told farmer audience
here today that for the first time
since the carpetbagger days outside
and sinister influences are trying to
control an election in Virginia"
"The Political Action Committee
of the CIO. and outside labor lead
ers, are trying to defeat me be-
cause I have had the courage to
stand up against their extortionate
demands, and because I have de-
nounced on the floor Of the Senate
these ruthless labor bosses. who
have shown by their actions that
they are willing to destroy America.
II need be, to gain their selfish ends"
the Senator said. MY opponent is
supported by the Political Action
Committee of the CIO."
Senator Byrd spoke at q picnic
OF the Shenandoah Farm Bureau.
and followed Commissioner Of
Agriculture L. M. Walker and Gov.
Tuck on the program.
Mr.. Walker referred to Senator
Byrd and Gov. Tuck as men who
were earnestly for the farmer and
all that improved farm life includes"
Gov. Tuck assailed as ''unfounded
and unwarranted" attacks which he
said had been made by opponents
of Senator Byrd and spread BY
insinuation and half

preciable improvement was not
noted, and 1t was decided to try
the new method. Mr.. and Mrs.
Lynch showed improvement and
their progress continued.
The decision to try the new
treatment was based on reports in
medical journals of apparently sue
cessful use by Army doctors over
seas in certain typhus cases The
spotted fever is caused by a micro
organism Of the Rickettsia family.
Members of this group, usually
transmitted by ticks or lice, also are
responsible for typhus.
DR.. P. A. McLendon of the teach
ing faculty of George Washington
University Medical School, who OBJ
served progress of the Lynch cases,
cautioned against high optimism.
He pointed out that Mr.. and Mrs.
Lynch had been subjected to two
different treatments and that
either, or perhaps some other factor,
could have accounted for their ap-
parent recoveries. Further, the
incidence of mortality has been low
among young people, he added.
Others Show Improvement.
DR.. McLendon revealed, however,
that three other tick fever victims
in this area had shown improve
ment after use Of -aminoben-
zoic acid alone. He said that while
its use appeared logical in view of
its reported effect In typhus cases
data on the cases here had not
been correlated to permit an intel
iigent appraisal of its worth.
The most effective dosage has not
been determined and much further
study remains to be done before its
worth as compared to the serum can
be appraised, DR.. McLendon said.
His cautious view Of the acid, re-
lated to constituent of protein, was
shared by an official of the Public
Health Service who also has been
acquainted with progress of the
Alexandria cases.
Mr.. Lynch. who served as lieu
tenant in the Naval Reserve in the
Pacific during the war, is associated

victory with certainty, they con-
ceed that Mrs. Murray will be the
strongest OF his three opponents,
based on returns OF her. first con-
test in 1914.
The Fairfax mother of two serv-
ice men has, wherever permitted,
travelled the district with a sound
truck. In some OF the more sparsely
settled areas or when there is not a
suficient number OF listeners In her
audience, she plays martial music
and then follows up with one of her
eight recorded speeches.
Mrs. Murray is the House candi-
date OF the liberal faction in the
Democratic party. She is actively
supporting the campaign of Martin
A. Hutchinson, Richmond attorney
against Senator Byrd. Mr.. Hutch
inson, so far. has not openly commit
ted himself in the 9th District
House race. Mrs. Murray also has
the support OF Maurice D. Rosen-
berg, former House OF Delegates
member and Hutchinson supporter
in Alexandra where he heads the
liberals"
Not long ago she charged there
was a Strange ban" against the
use of sound trucks in various 9th
District communities and after the

mined to see that no county or town
ordinance prohibits the use of the
devices for political speeches

Mrs. Murray is convinced that the
State convention next month to
name q successor to the late Sena-
tor Glass is "cut and dried affair"
to nominate Mr. Smith for the up
per branch.
Mr.. Smith never has said at any
time In this campaign that If nomi-
mated he would run as q candidate
for the House." she said. IF I am
nominated I will run in the general
election. I challenge him to make
the same statement"
Aside from support Of the Glib
erals" Mrs. Murray is counting on
a large women's vote and indorse-
ment by colored voters. She is
scheduled to attend a reception at
the George Washington Carver
auditorium in Arlington this after
noon.

Certainly lofty speeches made in

what Mr.. Smith really stands for,
