TWO_
FLEET COMMANDER
REACHES SHANGHAI
Hart Expected To Preside
Over Meet To Consider Re
assignment Of Zone
SHANGHAI, Aug. 14.—(Wednes
day)—m—Using a sea-going sub
marine as a flagship, Admiral
Thomas Charles Hart, commander
of the United States Asiatic fleet,
arrived here this morning from
Tsingtao amid Japanese demands
for control of the British defense
sector of the International settle
ment.
Britain’s decision to withdraw
her troops from China will leave
Rear-Admiral Moriji Takeda, com
mander of the Shanghai Japanese
naval garrison, as senior foreign
officer, but Admiral Hart outranks
him and as such it was expected
he would preside over a meeting
Thursday at which foreign defense
chiefs will consider reassignment
of the British zone.
Those here who oppose the idea
of Japan controlling the British
sector, containing some of Shang
hai’s largest business interests and
best residential districts, hoped
the American admiral would block
the Japanese.
Tang Leang-li, official spokes
man for the Japanese-controlled
Chinese administration at Nan
king, echoed the Japanese mili
tary when he expressed the hope
that the United States would fol
low Britain’s example by with
drawing the Fourth marine regi
ment stationed here.
“The Chinese won’t tolerate” the
transfer of the British sector to
American troops, he said. 1

PUNS TO BOOST
ARMY POSTPONED

who some day may—God forbid—
be called upon to defend their
country,” Burke added.
Meanwhile, Brig. Gen. William
E. Shedd, the army’s assistant
chief of staff in charge of per
sonnel, told the house military
committee that the time required
by Congress to 'debate the con
scription issue had forced a post
ponement of the objective of 900,
000 men under arms until Jan. 1.
Originally, and presupposing the
speedy passage of the necessary
legislation, he said, the army
schedule called for the drafting of
400.000 trainees on C'ct. 1. Trainees
plus mobilized National Guards
men and regular army compon
ents would have produced the 900,
000 figure. The revised schedule,
he said, called for 75,000 trainees
on Oct. 15, 50,000 more on Nov. 1,
65.000 on Nov. 15, 100,000 in early
December and about 98,000 j,ate
that month.
Given Right-of-Way
Already approved by the senate,
the legislation enabling the presi
dent to muster the militia for a
welve-month training period, was
given the right-of-way in the house
during the day by its ruies com
mittee. And a joint housesenate
committee on taxes heard repre
sentatives of the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States and
tu^ xtorcnoirtf mann.
facturers assert their views on the
proposed excess profits tax.
For the chamber, Ellsworth C.
Alvord, urged that legislation per
mitting manufacturers to deduct
the cost of plant expansion for de
fense purposes over a five y »ir
period be enacted as a sepa/ate
bill, with the excess profits levy
postponed so it would be simplified
and improved. Carl N. Osborne of
the N. A. M. asked that the excess
profits tax be carefully drawn and
specifically put forward as an
"emergency” measure, not a per
manent one.
Downtown, meanwhile, Arthur B
Purvis, chief British purchasing
agent, announced that the United
States had agreed to supply Great
Britain with 1,300 to 1,400 fighting
planes monthly, beginning • in the
“late 1941.” The British had want
ed 3,000 a month beginning next
January, but William S. Knudsen,
in charge of defense production,
suggested the changed schedule.
Intense Debate
In its third day, the senate’s
conscription debate had lost none
of its intensity of feeling, but most
senators had obviously begin to
feel they had heard all the argu
ments and were waiting principal
ly for the opportunity to vote. The
attendance was slim, and consist
ed mostly of senators opposed to
the bill, intently listening to Wheel
er.
Wheeler asserted that the army
men wanted conscription whether
or not it was possible to get
enough men by voluntary enlist
ments.
“It is clear,” he shouted, “that
the general staff’s desire for con
scription is not based on the needs
of the present crisis but on utiliz
ing the present crisis to saddfe
conscription on the country in or
der that it can maintain a large
standing army in peace time with
out so much confused discussion,
and in order to heighten the pres
tige of the army with the public,
to make the public military-mill
ed, and to line it up behind the
army.”
As had other opponents of the
bill, Wheeler urged that basic ar
my pay be raised from $21 to $30
monthly, to place it on a par with
C.CCwages. He also joined other
foes th'' 9,\ir<' in
that conscription would destroy d«i
muci utj.
“The integrity and institutions
of he United States are indeed
gravely threatened,” he said,,
“and it is the bill now before you,
and the hysteria which bred it,
which creates that threat.
“If you pass this bill, you slit
the throat of the last democracy
still living—you accord to Hitler
his greatest and cheapest victory
to date. On the headstone of Amer
ican democracy he will inscribe—
‘Here lies the foremost victim of
the war of nerves.’” 2

Tobacco Prices Advance
On Markets In Georgia
Averages Apparently Better
Than 18.43 Cents Set Dur
ing Opening Sales
VALDOSTA, Ga„ Aug. 13.—(.'Pi
Bright leaf tobacco prices moved
skyward today as buyers bid brisk
ly for medium grade stock.
Unofficial reports indicated a
steadily strengthening market, with
averages apparently better than
the 18.43-cents-a-pound set for the
first two days of sales.
At Waycross the Journal-Herald
reported a "definite upturn” with
medium quality grades and lugs
bringing advanced prices, and the
average “well above the 20-cent
mark.” The range was from four to
28 cents a pound, with the bulk go
ing for from 20 to 26 cents.
Sales Manager Joe Spence at
Pelham reported early sales today
averaging about 19 cents. Yester
day the market moved 342,510
pounds at an average of 18.64. The
range was from six to 29 cents a
pound
A scarcity of good tobacco and
heavy offerings of low and medium
leaf were reported from Hahira
by Sales Manager W. R. Salter
Today’s sales ranged from six to
28 cents a pound, with the bulk at
from 18 to 20 cents. Yesterday’s
official report showed 283,036
pounds sold for $52,965.25—an aver
age of 18.71.
The Tifton market appeared
firm, with an average near 20 cents
and a range from five to 34 cents
a pound. Yesterday 831,238 pounds
yielded $171,829, an average of
20.55.
EXCESS PROFITS
TAX DELAY ASKED
(Continued From Page One)
legislation permitting defense con
tractors to deduct from their tax
able income the full cost of new
plant installations.
Meanwhile, Alvord argued, the
pending 25 to 40 per cent excess
profits tax, with which plant amor
tization is joined,z could be sub
jected to "simplification and im
provement.” This, he said, was
more essential than speed.
Carl N. Osborne, vice president
of the M. A. Hanna company,
Cleveland, and vice chairman of
Nam’s government finance com
mittee, came out for an excess
profits tax applicable to this year’s
earnings. He said, however, that
the tax should not be made per
manent because it involves "in
equities.”
Both Alvord and Osborne testi
fied at a joint hearing of the sen
ate finance and house ways and
means committees on a proposal
by the house tax subcommittee t
enact an excess profits levy, pro
vide defense plant amortization,
and repeal the Vinson-Trammell
act’s 8 and 7 per cent limits on
the profits from warships and mil
itary aircraft.
Both objected to details of the
proposed profits tax and Alvord,
unlike Osborne, declared that the
levy should not in any case apply
,to this year’s income.
Despite objections raised by var
ious interests to the excess profits
proposal, Chairman Doughton (D
NC) predicted to newsmen that a
measure along the lines laid out
by the subcommittee would be
ready for the house by next week.
Doughton said that bill drafters
were having some difficulties in
wording the complicated tax but
forecast that they soon would have
completed their job. 1

NAZI AIRMEN WIDEN
RANGE OVER BRITAIN
(Continued from Page One)
canes were said to have been brought
down as against the loss of eight
German Messerschmitts.
Dover is at the mercy of German
bombing squadrons and its British
defenders have been “driven out of
the air,’’ German sources declared
joyfully tonight.
Among British airports attacked,
the Germans listed Detling, Odiham
and Farnborough. They said two
airport buildings and planes on the
ground were destroyed at Detling
while 20 planes were wrecked and
burned at the other two, and numer
ous buildings set afier by bombs.
The ports and Quays in Bourne
mouth and Plymouth, munitions
works in Exeter and Bristol, and
petroleum tanks in North Killing
ham were listed by the German radio
as additional targets heavily dam
aged.
The radio reported that 12 barrage
balloons were shot down at Folke
stone.
Ticiciianimen sunk
Two merchantmen of 15,000 tons
each and two patrol boats were de
clared to have been sunk by air
bomba as they moved out of the
Thames Estuary.
The great Portsmouth naval base
again was pelted with bombs today
and the raids on south coast ports
have been so effective, these sources
declared, that it will be almost im
possible for the British fleet to
operate in the channel.
Besides pounding English shore
points for the third successive day,
the swarms of German bombers and
fighters today crowded steadily in
land to a point where they threaten
ed the defenses of London Itself,
nazis asserted.
Eastchurch, half way up the
Thames toward London, was one of
the main targets as the nazi raiders
went into their 72d hour of almost
steady bombing and gunning of is
land strong-points.
German reports indicated that
since 15 minutes after midnight this
•norning, when Walsend, near New
:astle, was bombed, there had been
i constant series of bombing raids
ipparently moving ever farther in
and.
GERMANS CONTINUE
RAIDS ON BRITAIN
(Continued from Page One)
essentials as the admiralty da
scribed the fight:
One small German vessel was
rammed; another fired on “almost
point blank” by machine-guns and
attacked with hand grenades; two
larger Nazi ships machine-gunned
‘at ‘very close range;” a German
“E-boat,” or mosquito torpedoboat
put under fire in two running bat
tles; a German plane attacking
from above set ablaze.
The significant term "larger
vessels’ ’was not amplified. 2
Meet Attacks
The British, fighting with the
curiously calm ferocity which al
ways have shown when this seat
of empire has been threatened,
went up to meet the aerial offen
sive with everything they had.
They claimed an ever-growing
making the figure 57 early tonight
against an acknowledged loss of
nine defending planes.
Then, turning a moment from
the crisis here at home, they an
nounced that British fliers had
successfully attacked the Germans
from Jutland to the Bay of Biscay.
In this series of day and night
attacks on Germany and Nazi-held
territory — attacks sent home in
some instances “in spite of ice
and cloud”—the British conceded
the loss of 16 planes.
Nevertheless, they said, they
bombed 17 Nazi airdromes, the
Nazi seaplane base at Borkum,
the Nazi-held harbor at Denhelder
on the Dutch coast, various docks
and munitions plants.
But all of this, however destruc
tive it may have been to Ger
many, was only a side issue to the
great showdown here at home—
the Nazis’ air attacks which al
ready are sweeping the southern
coast and now threaten to extend
in force to the cargo-choked west
coast.
All of these western ports were
officially acknowledged to be
"pretty full,” and it was conceded
that area might well be next. 1
Southampton — normally about
180,000 population—was the most
important city officially acknowl
edged to have been hit by the
raiders, but bombs also feil on the
Isle of Wight and on “several"
RAP airdromes in southeast Eng
land. At one of these a “number”
of casualties were acknowledged.
It was the fourth successive day
of unending attack and, adding
the 400 to 800 raiders that ap
peared last Thursday in a bloody
overture of what has come since,
it raised to a total of about 2,000
the number of German pplanes
that have struck in the fosur days
of big scale fighting.
This time between 400 and 600
Nazi craft—bombers and fighters
—loosed their projectiles of death,
pounding particularly aacross the
80-mile defense "corner” between
the estuary of the Thames—which
leads to London—and the Sussex
Hampshire coast, and striking
along a 200-mile stretch of the
channel.
This broad attack upon the chan
nel coast, across but 20-odd miles
of water at some points from the
Nazi-held French coastline, went
on Tuesday evening in a screen
of low clouds which hid most of
the activity from the silent ob
servers on the ground.
But that it was a large-scale
combat was made clear beyond
question in the echoing roar of
many motors. Now and tthen a
plane could be seen to burst into
flame and spiral into th^. sea, or
into some anxious little backwater
village near <he coast.
Air raid warnings were put into
effect over a big area, including
even the inland gunnery stations
—one of which was within half a
mile of a Nazi bomber which fell
with her bomb racks still partly
loaded.
Mobile batteries and strong troop
concentrations were scattered
about and ready, from the coast
to several miles inland. Modern
barricades, intended to block the
invader but to permit free move
ment of the defenders, were
thrown up along all roads. 1
