DALLAS, Tex., Aug. 26—(UP)
—Two U. S. Senators were <n

meeting here yesterday plan to
present the proposal throughout
the south to put the price of cot-
ton on a basis comparable with
the price of cotton goods.
Bankhead yesterday said that
an orderly marketing plan is ne-
cessary to maintain a steady flow
of cotton to keep the price of the
commodity at a level where far-
mers can share in the benefits of
war-time trade.
"There is no reason,” Bank-
head said, “why the loss to the
farmer in the prices for cotton
should not in some way be re-
stored to him.”
Bankhead called on growers to
abide by a slogan “21 and one-half
cents a pound for cotton.”

CHUNGKING, Aug.' 26.—(UP)
—Chinese forces are attacking
the walls of Chuhsien, important a
airport center in Chekiang pro-
vince and already have captured
several strategic points around
the city, a Chinese army com-
munique said today.
Chinese attacks have been
particularly heavy in the south-
ern and western suburbs of the
ancient town, which the Japanese
captured last spring when they
made their drive south from
Hangchow to clear the Chinese
from coastal areas "that could
be used by the allies as oases for
direct bombing attacks on Tokyo.
Chuhsien, Kinhwa and Lishui
were the three most important
air fields and the enemy took all of
them. But now the Chinese have
driven the invaders from 15 coun-
ty seats in Chekiang and Kiang-
si provinces and are besieging
both Chuhsien and Lisui.
Chuhsien is on the Hangchow-
Nanchang railway and its cap-
ture would represent further pro-
gress in clearing the Japanese
from that route to the south. At
the height of their drive the Ja-
janese held all but about 22 miles
of the rail line, but today they
had been cleared from a stretch
of approximately 135 miles, a
military spokesman said.
Japanese columns, strongly sup-
ported by air formations, attack-
ed Chinese troops in the south-
western portion of the North Cen-
tral Shansi province. The Chinese
Central news agency said these
attacks could be regarded as the
opening of an offensive and said
fighting was going on along the
Tungpu railroad around Chao-
ching, Linfen (Pingyangfu) and
Hungtung.
Chinees troops driving toward
the important railhead of Nan-
chang, the agency reported, cap-
tured Tunghsiar.g, 37 miles to the
southeast. This was the 15th
county seat reoccupied by the
Chinese in their present offensive
in Chekiang and Kiangsi pro-
vinces and left only one such
seat, Nanchang, in Japanese
hands. .
Nanchang was imperiled by the
recapture Sunday by the Chinese
of Sangiangkou and Juihung,
respectively nine miles to the
south and 35 miles to the north-
east. Most of the garrisons of
both towns were wiped out, a
military spokesman said.
Scotland, wandered three miles
in a semi-conscious condition be-
fore he met a searching party
and was taken to a hospital.
Searching parties were sent
out to scour the countryside and
the bodies were recovered. Ar-
rangements were made to bring
the Duke’s body to London. It
was reported that the Duke’s
body was now lying in a Scots
highlands castle.
It was understood definitely,
t United Press dispatch from a
Scottish center reported, that the
crash was not due to enemy ac-
tion. Other planes have crashed
at almost the same dangerous
spot.
King George and Queen Eliza-
beth were expected to return to
the London area from the coun-
try to receive the Duke's body.
One of the king’s first acts
after he received the news of the
death of his youngest and gayest
brother was to send personal
condolences to families of the
others killed.
It was understood that the
pilot was one of the most com-
petent in the Royal Air Force,
an expert with Sunderlands.
The duke’s widow, the former
Princess Marina, was still in the
country with her three children
and it was understood they had
not been informed of their fath-
er’s death.
The Duke’s death put a further
burden on the king, because the
duke had frequently deputized
for him.
It was expected that the king
would proclaim today a brief
period of court mourning for his
brother.
Informants said that the funeral
probably would be private be-
cause of the necessity, during the
war, of keeping secret move-
ments of the royal family.
Sorrow with which the sudden
death of a most popular member
of the royal family as received
by Britons generally was mixed
with pride that he had been kill-
ed on active service, as had 80
many humbler British subjects in
three continents and the seven
seas.

SMITH’S /
smmemnAua
termined Japanese attempt to
dislodge the United States marines
front their offensive base in the
southern Solomon islands' is de-
veloping into a big scale air and
naval battle overshadowing the
original marine landing, well in-
formed quarters said today.
A Navy communique issued at
Washington yesterday made it
plain that the Japanese, despite
their heavy losses in the battles
of the Coral Sea and Midway,
had thrown an important naval
formation into a counter-attack
on the Tulagi-Guadalcanal area of
the Solomons which the marines,
with navy and air force support,
seized in the first big Allied
Pacific offensive.
A setback for Japan in this
battle, it was asserted here, might
reduce the Japanese navy to a
point where it would not be able
again to challenge a United States
fleet which is growing steadily
in power.
The Solomons battle was being
fought out in an area where, on
Guadalcanal, the marines had
seized the only air base in the
southern part of the islands.
United States carrier borne
planes were supported by armv
Flying Fortresses, based on emer-
gency airdromes hacked out of
jungle palm forests in South Sea
islands whose locations are mili-
tary secrets because there is everv
indication that the Japanese do
not know where they are.
Jap* Have Lost
Edge in Pacific
LONDON, Aug. 26. — (UP)—
The London Star reported from
Sydney today that reports from
the Solomon Islands battle "show
very clearly that Japan has fi-
nally lost naval supremacy in
the Southwest Pacific.”
The Star reported that it could
be assumed that the main fleets
of both the United States and
Japan are massing for a decisive
show-down in the Solomons area.
The battle, it suggested, may
be "so big that the future may
show it to have been another
Jutland.”
The Star asserted that allied
dive bombers are playing an im-
portant role in the sea conflict
and that Japanese losses thus
far indicate they no longer will
be able to carry out any decisive
challenge to the American sup-
ply lines to Australia and Naw
Long Eclipse
Early Today
NEW YORK, Aug. 26. (UP) —
The moon completed one of the
longest eclipses on record early
today.
The shadow of the earth began
to cover it at 8:01 (CWT) last
night. It was 1:34 a.m. today,
five hours and 33 minutes later
before the last trace of the shadow
had passed.
As the moon began to move
through the earth’s shadow, it
gradually lost its brilliance. When
it entered a total eclipse at 10:09.
it was cloaked in a reddish glow
the sunlight reflected from the
earth to the moon.
It was in total eclipse for an
hour and 35 minutes. Then the
shadow began to slide away and
finally the moon shone with its
former brilliance.
Pope Appeals Chuhsien is
FRENCH FRONTIER, Aug. 24
— (Delayed)—(UP)—Monsignor
Valerio Valeri, papal nuncio, at a
conference with Chief of Govern-
ment Pierre Laval at Vichy last
'‘Saturday, presented an urgent
appeal by Pope Pius XII for mod-
eration in the treatment of Jews
and other refugees in France, it
was learned today.
This appeal coincided with a
spirited written protest sent Mar-
shal Henri Philipe Petain by Car-
dinal Suhard, Archbishop of Paris,
and Cardinal Gerlier, Archbishop
of Lyons, against racial and re-
ligious persecution in France.
Simultaneously Jewish and
other welfare jrganizatidns ap •
pealed to the United States and
other countries to provide a hav-
en for 3,500 Jewish children,
ranging from infcats to 10-year-
olds, left behind after the Nazi-
ordered round-up of 27,500 Jew-
ish refugees for deportacion to
Eastern Europe.
About 25,000 Jews were round-
ed up in Occupied France and an-
other 2,500 in the Vichy terri-
tory.
(The German-controlled Paris
radio in a broadcast t card by

House while Green and Murray
were still with the President. He
did not, however, participate in
their conference.
Mr. Roosevelt has held similar
meetings with farm leaders in
recent weeks on the subject of
inflation and living costs.
Mr. Roosevelt revealed at his
press conference yesterday that
his new anti-inflation program is
nearing completion and that he
expects to explain it to the na-
tion by radio sometime around
Labor Day. He will send an in-
formative message to congr 8 at
the same time.
The President talked at length,
and sternly, at his press confer-
ence about the competitive bid-
ding between 1 .bor and agricul-
ture for thinga they cannot have
without forcing up the cost of
living.
His main point was that new
and arduous sacrifice faces ‘he
entire nation and the burden
must be distributed equally. It
would not b< fair, he said, to sta-
bilize farm prices without stabil-
izing wages and he made it plain
that such action would be forth-
coming soon.
The country, he said is being
whip-sawed by two groups—labor
and agriculture. He exr’ained
that actually they were part of
the American people and did not
constitute two groups even though
they voted that way.

being pinned under a tree six days
before help arrived.

he lived alone, his friends didn't
miss him for six days. Then they
found him.

reach provided him with his only
food. He chewed leaves for what
moisture they contained. Wallace,

CAIRO, Aug. 26—(UP)—When
the desert flames into warfare
again— and all signa indicate it
will be soon—the United States
air force will be fighting along-
side the Royal Air Force.
Flying Fortresses and Consoli-
dated bombers already have prov-
en their worth over the desert
and American fighter squadrons
are working daily with the veter-
an fighters of the RAF, learning
the tricks of desert warfare and
studying terrain.
The RAF won desert air superi-
ority from the Germans last
spring and have maintained it
during the lull in land fighting
with attacks on enemy harbors,
shipping, airdromes and supply
lines over an 800-mile line from
Benghazi to the Island of Rhodes.
Belief that Field Marshal Er-
win Rommel is ready to strike
again in a drive for the Suez and
possibly a punction in Iran with
the Axis forces driving south
through Russia, is based on a
number of signs’
Observers point out that the
best fighting weather of the year
is almost at hand. The moon soon
will be full, a condition under
which Rommel likes to fight. Ger-

But when Rommel strikes he
will find the British ready. Their
morale la high. The recent visits
of Prime Minister Churchill were
viewed as indicating that the
Middle East will play a more
important part in future war
councils in London ahnd Washing-
ton. Heretofore there has been a
feeling here that allied strategists
regarded the desert show like a
step-child, but the visits changed
that.
The Middle East Imperial Brit-
ish army also has new men in
charge. Gen. Sir Harold Alexan-
der, the last man off the beach
at Dunkirk where he directed fi-
nal phases of the evacuation, has
replaced Gen. Sir Claude E. J.
Auchinleck as commander-in-
chief. The Eighth army has a
new commanding general in
Lieut. Gen. B. L. Montgomery.
When Rommel strikes it ap-
parently will be with the ob-
jective of squeezing the allies
east beyond the Suez to cut off
the allied supply line through the
Red Sea and possibly also the
route through the Persian Gulf.
Such a drive would solve in
great measure the Turkish prob-
lem for Adolf Hitler, for if he
could bring the prongs of his
great pincers together in Iran
he would have all of Europe iso-
lated from the allies. Turkey
would be surrounded and although
general sentiment there favors
the allies, it would of necessity
fall into the Axis orbit.
Natives, realizing the dangers
involved with the Axis threaten-
ing from both sides, continually
ask American correspondents
when United States troops are
coming. They already set many
Americans in the air and tank
forces but they want to see sol-
diers by the thousands.
American technicians have done
much to prepare the Middle East
for war and the work they have
accomplished is seen from the
Persian Gulf to the Russian fron-
tiers, west to Egypt and south
to Eritrea.

Debarkation
Of Refugees
Speeded Up
JERSEY CITY, N. J., Aug. 26.
(UP)—Debarkation of passengers
from the Swedish diplomatic ex-
change liner Gripsholm was speed-
ed up today but the returning
refugees, some of whom showed
evidences of mistreatment at the
hands of the Japanese, said they
were under State Department
instructions “not to give out any
information.”
Women with lined faces and
men, whose bodies had shrunken
so that their clothing no longer
fitted, came down the gangplank
and off the pier into the hands
of happy but tearful relatives and
friends.
It ves reported that about 150
passengers had been taken to
Ellis Island immigration station
for further investigation, among
them some 20 missionaries who
had participated in “pacifist”
meetings aboard ship. The meet-
ings were poorly attended, pas-
sengers said, and finally were
abandoned for lack of popular
support.
The Rev. N. F. Brewer, who
had been in charge of the China
division of the Seventh Day
Adventists’ missions, told reporters
that the passengers had been
given letters by State Department
officers instructing them to reveal
nothing of conditions in the Far
East or treatment at the hands
of the Japanese.
Attempts to obtain news from
the returning passengers were
further impeded by the fact that
taxicabs were permitted on the
pier. The passengers got into the
cabs and most of them were driven
away before they could be inter-
viewed.
H. S. Dunn, of Brookline, Mass.,
in charge of Warner Brothers’
pictures in the Far East, was
more explicit. He said that during
his 64 days’ imprisonment in
Shanghai, he had received “rotten
treatment” from the Japanese.
“I was kept in a 15-by-17 foot
cell with 30 other persons, mostly
Orientals,” he said. “In that time
my only food was a bowl of rice
three times a day.”
“Sometimes the Japs would
take an oriental out of a cell and
he wouldn’t come back. Sometimes
one of them would come back
but he’d he badly damaged."
