A—4 u» TESTIMONY NEXT New Phase to Be Aired in Labor Charges—Witness Tells of Beating. B the Associated Press. DETROIT, July 13.—The National Labor Relations Board heard addi- tional testimony today concerning the beating of more than a dozen union organizers at the gates of the Ford Motor Co. May 26 as it prepared to take up another phase of the com- piaint charging labor act violations against the company. Percy Llewellyn, a United Automo- bile Workers' organizer, who formerly was employed by the Ford company, testified he was attacked by three men one of them later identified as a Ford gervice man. He said the glass in one of the doors of his automobile was smashed, and he was informed that “the next time you come back we'll ‘use the crank on you.” Thomas Groehn, a Detroit News re- porter, testified he saw Frank Har- tung. a union organizer, hit in the mouth by & man who came out of the Ford gates. Groehn said he asked one of a group of men who came out of the gates whether he wes a Ford service man “We got orders not to talk,” Groehn quoted him as replying. Dismissal Charges. With the completion of testimony eoncerning the May 26 riot, the board | plans to take up testimony concerning | charges that the Ford company dis- charged nearly twoscore workers for union activity. During the testimony of Llewellyn, Trial Examiner John T. Lindsay ques- tioned him closely concerning his em- ployment as & deckhand on boats operated by the Ford company. The witness told of trips to Cleveland, Buffalo, Duluth and other ports be- yond the Michigan boundaries. The Ford company in replying| formally to the complaint challenged the board's jurisdiction and asserted that individual employes named in the citation were engaged in “purely local production.” Llewellyn, besides being named in the complaint in con- nection with the May 26 riot, also | was listed as an employe discharged for union activity. Says He Saw Beatings. Raymond Jewell, a Ford worker, | testified he had witnessed the beating | of Llewellyn, saying four or five men participated in it. He said that after Llewellyn apparently had been beaten into unconsciousness and fell to the | ground, he was lifted to his feet and beaten again until he dropped once more. Jewell said that at one point the attackers ran to a nearby car and came back with a pipe wrench. As| THE EVENING STAR,- WASHINGTON, D.

However, during the months since the original court bill was sent in by the President, there have been evidences in the House of the same party split that divides the Senate. With the whole House to be elected next year the actual political effect of the court bill fight on the fortunes of sitting members will be more quickly evident than is the case with the Senate.

PEIPING, July 13 (®).—Gen. Sung Cheh-Yuan's 29th Chinese Route Army today forced a heavily supported de- tachment of Japanese troops to re- treat toward their Fengtai base after they had been driven back on Peiping's southern wall in two hours of hand- to-hand fighting. Five Japanese bombers, Chinese eources reported, later bombed the Nanyuan barracks and airdrome, 8 miles south of thls anclent city. The report was not at once confirmed. The aerial attack, according to the Chinese informants, occurred between 8and 4 pm. (2and 3 am, E. 8. T). The report first became known here late in the day, delayed because tele- phone communications with Nanyuan | were cut during today's fighting. ‘The big swords of the Chinese in- fantry clashed in the sultry noon sun- shine with the bayonets of the Japa- nese at the strategic railway bridge half a mile south of the walls. The Japanese formed one of the ad- vance units of a reported 10,000 troops being rushed to the North China battle area from Manchukuo, the state Japan carved out of Chinese Manchuria. Reliable foreign sources declared 100 Japanese warplanes flew over Shan- hajkwan, on the border of Man- chukuo and Hopei Province, en route Yyesterday to the scene of action, The Japanese detachment was ad- wvancing on the airdrome and barracks, when they were met half way by Chinese troops and gradually driven back on the southern wall before they turned and retreated toward Fengtai, 7 miles to the west. Before wheeling toward Fengtai, the Japanese headquarters and base in the Peiping battle area, they made 8 determined stand at the railway bridge, where the heaviest fighting of the engagement took place. Heavy casualties were reported suffered by both sides. As they retreated, the Japanese were reported to have torn up the railway tracks in the vicinity, shat- tering outgoing -train service from Peiping. Another Japanese force was said to have launched a futile attack on Nanyuan itself at the same time the column from the north went into ac- tion. Meanwhile, rioting was reported in the southern Chinese quarters of the city. At the height of the battle outside —_— PSYCHOMETRY DELINEATIONS Grace Gray Delong Life Reader Adviser 11 AM. to 9 P.M.
