Wood, top, and Philip H. Phillips Through its chief counsel, Frs* erick H. Wood, top, the Ford Mew tor Co. blocked the effort of the National Labor Relations Board to withdraw from federal circuit of appeals at Covington, Ky., the record of its case against the firm. Philip H. Phillips, NLRB regional director, argued the case for the board. Question also arose whether the Ford Co. had halted the NLRB’s promised vacating of an order charging Wagner Act violations. Amending its previ ous ruling—allowing the board to withdraw the documents—the court directed that the papers be made a part of the Ford com pany’s suit to set aside the con tested order of last December. Wood described the ruling as a “Ford victory” and declared it would prevent the NLRB from re scinding the order for reinstate ment of 29 workers in Michigan plants, who were discharged for asserted union activity. —Central Press “Invaders” Land Force On U.

American Sailors Patrol Island Off Port Japs Seized Small International Settle ment Largely in Command of United States Bluejackets JAPS CLAIM FRESH * GAINS IN SHANTUNG Advance Guards Only Three Miles from Vital East- West Lunghai Railway; Two Chinese Divisions Re ported Almost Annihilated In North Shanghr*, May 12.—(AP)—Ameri can bluejackets patrolled today the small international settlement of Kulangsu island off the south China coast as thousands of refugees and soldiers poured in after Japanese naval forces captured nearby Amoy. The Japanese reported complete oc cupation of Amoy island, including the city of Amoy, important port 600 miles south of Shanghai. All foreig ners were said to be safe. At the same time, the Japanese re ported new gains on the Shantung front, where fully a dozen columns were moving steadily toward the Launghai railway, against “stubborn” resistance. On the left wing of this 65-mile front the Japanese said they had oc cupied a point south of Tancheng and only three miles from the Lunghai. and said the Chinese were in “full flight.” This is the nearest they have approached the vital east-west rail road in their five months drive. Two Chinese divisions fighting five miles northwest of Tancheng were said to have been “almost annhilated.” Scenes on Kulangus island as Chi nese civilians and soldiers sought re fuge were described as similar to those in Shanghai’s international set tlement last August. While the island, ordinarily populated by 250 foreigners' and 40,000 Chinese, was reported quiet, the great influx of refugees presented an increasing problem.

In the Sir Walter Hotel. Raleigh, May 12—Delay in appoint ment of a member of the State Liquor Board, to succeed T. J. Murphy, of Greensboro, whosa term has expired, is due to the desire of Governor Clyde R. Hoey to name a woman to the post, if persistent and on-their-face reliable reports are really founded in fact. .. . The governor isn’t saying anything about it, and the whole thing may be nothing more than pale political moon shine —this correspondent isn’t giving it out as gospel truth, at any rate but it is an interesting angle any way it’s looked at. The mere desire to name a woman, however, wouldn’t account for the delay, because there’s no reason why the governor should take longer to pick one than to pick a man, but. the yarn-spinners have it that he isn t able to make up his mind whether to name Mrs. Mary C. Murphy, of Greene county, or Miss Beatrice Cobb of Morganton. It may well be that these two names get into the story, as it goes around, merely because both these ladies ex ercised their traditionally feminine prerogative and changd their minds at the last moment about running for (Continued on Page Bight.)

No an nouncement of president’s views of neutrality and efforts to lift the embargo against shipment of arms w and munitions to Spain was made after the conference. Hull, shown returning to his office in the state department, declined comment except to say his report on operation of the neutrality law had not been completed. —Central Press brMospeeT PLANEPRODUCTION Chamberlain Government Answers Bitter Criticism In Parliament London, May 12. —(AP) —The Cham berlain government replied today to bitter charges that its aerial re-arma ment program was lagging with a promise that Britain would have near ly 3,500 first line war planes by March, 194>0. This would double the previous ob jective of 1,750 first line planes in service by March, 1939. The figures were announced in the House of Commons by Earle Winter ton, deputy air minister, after Prime Minister Chamberlain himself had promised a “remarkable increase” in plane production when he addressed a rally of Conservative party women. Winterton said the figures included 2,270 planes at home, 490 overseas and at least 500 for the navy. By first line planes he meant craft capable of ac tive military service. There was a powerful movement in Commons based on demands that Britain equal or surpass Germany’s aerial re-armameniii [Unofficially, it was estimated Germany had 2,100 first line military planes, with 3,000 in reserve, and was producing more than Britain each month.

Vargas, invoked full military and police action today to wipe out for ever Fascist green shiris whose three a 1 - d a half hour rebellion failed be cause they did OO' know the govern n.*rt palace was without a garrison within :'ts walls. P&lice, with 500 of the rebels already in jail, spread through the city, searched every suspected Fascist home, made more arrests, and found evidence the revolt was well planned, but without coordinated execution. They pressed a nationwide search for the fugitive P. Salgado, head# of the green shirts and allegedly the “in tellectual leader” of yesterday’s abor tive uprising. Salgado has been in hiding several months. The government launched an in quiry and it was expected decrees would he published authorizing sum mary trial of the captured leaders. B. Valdeverde, field commander of the uprising, was in jail. The rebels made their attack yes terday morning against President Vargas’ residence of the 'chief of Staff of" the army, and other strategic points, but they Jacked the one vital piece of information that could have carried them to at least momentary success. Alberto de Barros, former charge d’affaires, who helped defend the pre sident’s palace, told about it today. “I Itelieve the attackers did not know the palace was completely with out an internal garrison; otherwise they would’ have advanced into the ’ palace instead of fighting in the gar den,” he said.

This is remarkable. Not long ago one surely would have classed the Californian among ultra conservatives; the La Follettes as li berals to the point of near-radicalism.

While the black-garbed Haile Selas sie sat at the League Council table with 'cowed head and closed eyes, an aide read his plea, containing a de mand that the recognition question be carried before the whole Assembly of the League. But the Council was summoned to reconvene late today, when action releasing League mem bers from non-recognition pledges was looked for. Should the Negus’ demand for an Assembly hearing succeed, it might block Anglo-French plans for recog nition, as the Assembly contains all members, many of them set against such “realism.” • Haile Selassie, too ill to speak, sat at the Council table while his repre sentative, Ato Teezez, read his speech.

Cameron Morrison, of Charlotte, former governor and former United States senator, outlined the proposal to Governor Hoey arid described him self as being a “plain dirt farmer since I quit being a politician.” Under the plan, part of the prison farm property, which fronts on U S.

The stand ing vote was 106 to 39. Another amendment, to increase from $1,250,000,000 to $1,500,000,000, the proposed WPA fund for the seven months ending next January 31, was rejected bjr a standing vote, 61 to 23. It was proposed by the House liberal group. The first amendment to the $3,054,- 000,000 lending-spending bill, offered by Representative Bacon, Republican, New York, was the minority proposal for de-centralization of relief. It pro posed to set up I’ci-partisan boards to handle relief funds and to require states to put up 25 cents for every dollar contributed by the Federal gov ernment. Under that arrangement, Bacon said “more and more relief money would reach the people in actual need." Republicans said they would make another attempt, just before a vote on passage of the bill, to put their program into the measure.

The members of the Pitt County Board of Commissioners brought tha action to remove the sheriff, charg ing him with bribery, maladministra tion and failure to turn over certain fees to the county.
