JAPANESE TROOPS DRILL IN TIENTSIN Gunfire Is Heard in Streets as Soldiers Stage Mack Battle. By the Associated Press. TIENTSIN, June 16 (Sunday).— The streets of the city rang out today with machine-gun fire as newly ar- rived Japanese troops put on a mock battle, described by their officers as “a defense drill.” As Japan awaited China’s next move in the Asiatic crisis, the em- pire's troops blocked off a large sec- tion of the Japanese concession with barbed-wire entanglements. Sandbag barriers were thrown up at strategic corners. Japanese troops in motor cars and on horse back again moved through the streets of the city proper. The authorities explained that they were | giving the new arrivals an opportunity to see the city. U. S. Troops to Leave. Testifying to the American belief | ’nc the demilitarized zone is peace- | ul, the United States 15th Infantry | here completed arrangements for opening the Summer camp at Chin Wang Tao. Within a week 350 men, comprising half of the local detach- ment, will proceed to the camp. The | remainder will go later. | Despite continued non-settlement | of the “Changpel incident” and the national government’s delay in reply- ing to demands presented May 28, apprehension in this area visibly sub- sided and an exodus of frightened | Chinese residents southward lessened. A Japanese Army plane flew over| Peiping again, presumably to oversee the continued outward movement of Chinese, but reports from than an- cient capital said it attracted little attention. Await Governor's Reply. The Tokio military men, who said the detention of four Japanese at Changpei, Chahar Province, Wednes- day was “engaging our most serious attention,” awaited Gov. Sung Chei- Yuan's reply to demands for cessa- tion of anti-Japanese activities there, punishment of those responsible, apol- ogles and assurances against repeti- tion. As to Hopei Province, Lieut. Col Gennosuke Matsul of Japan's Kwan- tung Army said military preparedness would not be relaxed until China ac- cepted in writing the May 29 demands for removal of all anti-Japanese ele- | ments and influences.

Interference Denied. “We have never demanded that Hopei be administered by a special | regime, free from the military influ- | ence of the Nanking government,” he | said. “That would be interference with the Chinese domestic adminis- tration, which we have no intention | of doing.” He added: to create su no objection.

By the Assoclated Press. The Public Works Administration on its second anniversary last night listed the following as some of the major ellotments it has made: Railroads: $200,000,000 in loans to 43 lines, the Pennsylvania receiving $80,000,000 to complete electrification of its line between Washington and New York and to build high-speed electric locomotives—completed. Dams: Fort Peck on the Missourl, the world’s largest n dam, $50,- 000,000 allotment, 60 cent - pleted; Bonneville, on the Columbia, $32,200,000, 40 per cent complete; Grand Coulee, on the Columbia, 60 per cent of initial construction com- pleted under first allotment of $15,- 000,000; Boulder, on the Colorado, completed with a $38,000,000 grant. Two hundred million dollars has gone to large engineering projects, an equal amount for sewers and sewage treatment plant, $111,500,000 of water The Tennessean's unique plan, em- braced in a bill now before the House | Appropriations Committee, directs the President to deposit $1,000,000,000 in the so-called stabilization fund. The | next step would be the drawing of agreements with private employers by | which they would consent to add to | their pay rolls as many workers as they might reasonably hope to keep occupied. At the end of a stated period, probably a full year, a check would be made of company earnings and expenses, and if the personnel exe pansion is found to have caused a net loss, reimbursement would be made to the company from the billion-dollar Government reserve. Prevailing Wage to Hoid. On the other hand, if the business enterprise co-operating is found to have increased its earnings as a result of increasing its pay rolls and produc- tion, no adjustment with the Govern- ment would be necessary, employment would have increased and everybody would be happy. Wages for those given employment through this scheme would be at the prevailing rate for | their occupation and location, an im- | portant objective of the plan, Mitchell | points out. “The dole has done some good.” the Representative admitted yesterday | while discussing his measure, “but we've got to get away from it if pos- sible. The work-relief program as now contemplated has found its ad- ministrators pulling at cross purposes with nothing accomplished. This plan would give men private employ- ment, not public.

Conters With Byrns. “If a local department store, for in- stance. took on 50 extra salesmen they would be paid the same as other sales- men in the store. And if their efforts resulted in sufficient increase in sales to pay their salaries, it would cost the Government nothing.” Reprasentative Mitchell's plan now is to discuss the idea with his fellow Tennessean, Speaker Byrns, in an effort to get some administration favor for the bill. Also, he said, he will discuss it at once with Chairman | Buchanan, Texas Democrat, of the Appropriations Committee, seeking favorable committee action on the | measure. Already, he said, he has submitted a copy of it to Senator Pat Harrison, Mississippi Democrat and chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, who | has admitted an interest in the plan and a promise to look into it further as soon as the social security program | is approved by the Senate. Meanwhile, he said, one or two of those high in administration circles | have expressed the opinion that the | scheme might be the means of speed- | ing the work-relief program. SILVER CURRENCY RECALLED BY ITALY By the Assoclated Press. ROME, June 15.—The Italian gov- ernment tonight ordered the recall of silver money circulating in the country. Official and financial circles said the reason for the drastic monetary step was the ever greater necessity for supplies of this metal in connection with Italy’s prepara- tions for possible hostilitles in | Ethiopia. A contributing factor, it was stated, was the United States’ silver pur- chasing policy, which has greatly in- creased the value of the metal both here and in East Africa. ‘The coins withdrawn from circula- tion, of 5, 10 and 20 lire, will be re- placed by paper notes. No estimate as to the amount of silver that will flow into the national treasury in consequence of today's decree was available. ‘War in Africa is regarded as almost inevitable in many quarters here, and Italy will have some 225,000 men, including soldiers and workmen, in her colonies by Fall. Hence large amounts of silver coins will be neces- sary for increased activity there. 1300 G STEINWAY E. F. Droop & Sons Co.

Canal boats that no longer operate on the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal may cause the District Government to redraw its plans for the projected new bridge across Rock Creek at K street, because the carrier is insisting on its legal rights to have sufficient clearance for water trafic. The mu- nicipality wants to construct the bridge if #t can secure the necessary public works funds and get the sanc- tion of the Army Engineers, ‘The Commissioners, it developed yes- terday, have produced bridge plans that are one and a half feet less than | the canal company objects. H. R. Preston, one of the surviving trustees of the company, and G. L. Nicolson, general manager of the carrier, told First Lieut. Willlam J. Matteson, Watl Department District engineer for the | Washington area, that they insist | that suitable clearance under the structure be maintained. This must be, they contended, so no | resumption of canal boat traffic would | be hindered or prevented. In the old days, the canal boats used to go out into the Potomac River, just down- | stream of K street, and when coming in, ‘traveled a short distance in Rock | Creek and then into the canal locks near the Georgetown water front, up- | stream of K street. Rail Removal Asked. ‘There were those who think the railroad tracks should be removed from K street, which in recent years | has become a heavily traveled thor- | oughfare, with the completion of the nearby Rock Creek and Potomac Parkwey. The District Government proposes to | build a three-arch masonry structure, with 50-foot roadway and two 8- foot sidewalks.

PRESIDENT HITS UTILITY BILL Brown Graduate School Given Reasons for Hold- ing Companies. By the Associated Press, PROVIDENCE, R. I, June 15.— Dr. Karl T. Compton, president of Massachusetts Institute of Tech- nology, condemned the Wheeler-Ray- burn holding company bill, passed by the United States Senate and now pending in the House, at Brown Uni- versity Graduate School convocation here today. He asserted the bill ignored “cer- tain inherent advantages of the hold- ing ~ company organization,” and failed to provide “the best practicable solution to the public utility problem which would eliminate the abuses and retain the advantages of the holding company system.” The holding company measure, he sald, was an example of the lack of an objective and constructive ap- proach to present-day problems. He pleaded for “that pattern o{ thinking which leads us spontaneously to take a judicial view of all sides of situa- | tions and then to act in accordance with our best independent judgment.” Dr. Compton said that in the bill “there is no discussion or even admis- sion of certain inherent advantages such as distribution of risk, protect- ing alike investors and consumers, basic economies in operation, im- proved service, cheaper and quicker financing.” He said & judicial and constructive approach to the problem by the legis- lators was greatly to be desired, since mate interests of investors and reduce abuses to a minimum has “been shown to be possible.” sl 8 Same Forces Also Making Ad- vances in Hungary—Fall Set for Action.
