High Court Refuses Petition
Of Florida Companies In
Seeking Black Ouster.
Washington, Nov. 9.—(.l1)—
Another effort to remove Associate
Justice Hu;ro L. Black from the Su
preme Court ended last night in
failure.
Without comment, the court dis
missed a petition contending Black
was constitutionally ineligible for
his seat and that he had, as a mem
ber of the Senate, shown himself to
be “attitudinized” regarding a point
in litigation.
An hour earlier, Black handed
down his first opinion. Speaking
in a low tone, he hurriedly tele
scoped a 2.000-word argument into
a brief oral announcement, leaving
details to a perusal of his printed
text.
Upholds Commission.
The decision upholding a Federal
Trade commission contention that
two firms practiced unfair compe
tition in the sale of encyclopedias,
denounced ‘deception” in business.
In addition, in two cases upon
which the court was divided, he
aligned himself with its traditional
ly liberal members, and in three
tax controversies, he voted against
the government and in favor of the
taxpayers.
The new attempt to oust Black,
who took his seat amid charges of
constitutional ineligibility and a
furore over his admitted former
membership in the* Ku Klux Klan,
was instituted by three Florida oil
companies. It was the third un
successful effort to remove him.
Report Haitians
Drown And Burned
Haiti’s U. S. Minister Lists
Killed at Over 3,000; Denial
By Dominion.
Washington, Nov. 9. —(.Pi—Hai
tian’s foreign minister, Georges
Leger, today said the slaying of
Haitians in the Dominion territory
“consists of wholesale massacre.”
He said he had received unoffi
cial reports that Haitians had been
drowned in the Dominion republic
and that others had been burned
alive after gasoline had been pour
ed on them.
Leger said at the state depart
men that he believed the number
killed in the Dominican republic
was between 3,000 and 5,000.
The assertion contradicted one
issued last night by the Domonican
minister Andres Pastoriza, who
said stories of “collective slaying”
in the Dominican territory were
“wholly absurd.”

Brussels, Nov. 9.—(.l*)—Foreign
Minister Maxim Litvinoff, Russia’s
delegate to the Brussels conference
seeking an end to the China-Japan
war announced today he would
leave for Moscow tonight.
v Litvinoff’s departure generally
was regarded as a protest against
a movement, which he thinks is
underway to eliminate Russia from
major conference activities.
Japanese unofficially have made
clear here they would exchange
information about the Chinese con
flict with signatories of the 9
power treaty but not with outsiders.
Russia is not a signatory but
was invited to the conference be
cause of her important interests
in the Far East.

I Washington, Nov. 9.—(By the
Associated Press)—A plain soldier;
unknown but weighted with honors
as perhaps no American before him
because he died for the flag ill
France, Jay tonight in a place
where only martyred Presidents
Lincoln, Garfield and McKinley,
have slept in death.
I He kept lonely vigil lying in state
under the vast, shadowy dome of
the Capitol. Only the motionless
figures of the five armed comrades,
one at the head and one facing in
ward at each corner of the bier,
kept watch with him.
But far above, towering from the
great bulk of the dome, the brood
ing figure of Freedom watched too,
as though it said “well done” to the i
servant faithful unto death, asleep •
there in the vast, dim chamber be- j
low.

Foundation for Paralysis
1 have been very much concerned
over the epidemics of infantile par
alysis which have been prevalent in
many cities in different parts of the
country. I have had reports from
many areas in which this disease is
again spreading its destruction.
And once again there is brought
forcibly to my mind the constantly

the nation and they must have

Sodden skies and a gray, creep
ing, chilling rain all through the
day seemed to mark the mourning
of this American soil and air at the
bier of this unknown hero. But no
jot of the full meed of honor was
denied the dead on that account.
From the highest officials of this
democratic government to the last
soldier or marine or bluejacket,
rain and cold meant nothing beside
the desire to do honor to the dead.
The ceremonies were brief to

[boom of saluting cannon down the
[river signaled the coming of the
[great gray cruiser Olympia. The
,fog of rain hid her slow approach
up the Potomac, but fort by fort,
post by post, the guns took up the
tale of honors for the dead as she
passed.

ldock. Along her rails stood her
crew in long lines of dark bltm,
rigid at attention and with a solemn
expression uncommon to the young

Anti-Soviet Movement
To Avoid German Mistake Oi
“Killing Oft Best Troops
First.”
Tokyo, Nov. 9.—(.V)—One of
Japan's most powerful armies de
plored today along the front of
Japanese dominated Manehoukou
while Japanese and neutral ob
servers shared almost unanimously
the belief that relations between
Russia and Japan were nearing
fracture.
The strained diplomatic situa
tion-- and perhaps the massing of
crack Japanese troops on the Man
ehoukuo border grew out of the
recent strengthening of the Ger
man-Japan anti-communistic pact
with the entrance of Italy and,
friction over Soviet granted fish
ing concessions.
The Tokyo newspaper, Hochi,
reported Russia was taking strong
measures to bolster her far Eastern
army.
Japan’s military forces are a
mixture from active and reserve
lists.
Military experts said Japan is
“avoiding the German mistake of
killing off her best troops first.”
Cotton Yield Is
Largest In U. S.
Federal Experts Forecast 18,
243,000 Bale Crop;
Market Higher.
Wasbiwgtewi, Nov. 0.—kTl—The
Roosevelt administration encoun
tered a new obstacle today in its
seatvh for a solution to the crop
surplus problem when the Fed
eral crop reporting board predicted
this year's cotton crop would be
the largest in American history.
.The board said conditions on
November 1. indicated 18,243,000
bales of 500 pounds each, adding
that this figure might go higher
or lower depending upon weather
conditions during the remainder of
the harvesting season.
Secretary Wallace was out of the
city, and officials at the Depart
ment of Agriculture declined to
comment on the estimate. Con
discuss a voluntary cotton program
gross may decide on a plan to
next year, with some sort of pro
cessing taxes to pay the cost.
Prices Finish Higher
The huge forecast sent market
prices of cotton to new season lows
at New Orleans, but buying sup
port soon erased most of the de
cline.
The November estimate was 070,
000 bales larger than the forecast
a month ago, when the 1937 crop
was ranked the second largest in
history, about 400,000 bales under
the 1926 previous record crop of
17.987.000 bales. .
This year’s crop has grown with
each monthly estimate. The board
forecast 15,593,000 bales in Au
gust, increased this 505,000 bales
in September, added another 1,
475.000 bales in October and then
revised estimates upward 670,
000 bales again this month. i

Such was China’s answer to
reports from Berlin that a

he achieved if China would ad
here to the German-Japan
Italy anti-communistic pact.
China recently signed a non

China, he added, wanted to

Shanghai, Nov. 9.—CP)—Shang
hai fell into the Japanese hands to
day -with the retreat of General .
Chaing Kei-Shek’s Chinese •war
riors who hase held out for 88 days
against combined Japanese army,
navy and air forces.
The city was alseep and unaware
of its fate, when, shortly after mid
night the Chinese forces began an
orderly, quiet retreat towards their
“Winter lines” protecting Nan
king, the Nation’s capital.
The Japanese apparently did
not learn of the retreat until 8
A. M. which is (7 p. m. EST Mon
day.)
The withdrawal enabled the Jap
anese to place a ring of steel
around China’s greatest port, cutt
ing off the metropolis from the
rest of the nation and bottling up
three millions of Chinese, one mil
lion refugees and many thousands
of Americans and other foreigners.
Railroads and highways in all
directions were cut off or blocked
by the Japanese leaving only a few
foreign and Japanese war vessels
in communication with the outside
world.
Americans and other foreigners
breathed more easily as if a long
seige suddenly had been lifted.
The plight of Chinese inhabitants
and Chinese refugees was con
sidered tragic however as they had
no means of escape and must be
isolated for a long period by the
ring of Japanese troops.

doubtedly will effect the Chinese
morale, at least temporiarly, Gen
eral Chaing declared today that
Shanghai operations were purely
local and did iio^.fonn a vital part
of the nation's’chief defenses, which
he said were about the Yellow
river region.
The warfare, the general said,
will be transferred at present to the
great delta lands of the lake reg
ions west of Shanghai where the
Chinese has several so-called

At the conclusion of the school
program, members of the Ashg

The service will be in charge of.
Eugene Schaefer, senior warden
and Odgen Yates, junior warden.
Members of the Auxiliary will
have charge of the patriotic dec
orations in the chapel.
One of the impressive features
of the service will be the moment
of silent prayer, by those in at
tendance, commemorating the lives
of the men and women killed in
service of their country and prayer
for continued peace.
