SHANGHAI. Aug. 20-(Friday)
-tzp)-United States warships were
pressed Into service today to evac
uate 1,000 Americans through. a
curtain of flying shrapnel that
blanketed the Whangpoo river
their only avenue of escape from
i the danger of war to the safety of
the open sea.
Chinese and Japanese war
planes dueled above the rlrer and
the big guns of the Japanese fleet
threw shell after shell screaming
over the heads of the fleeing
Americans. Rapid-fire bursts
from the Japanese - anti-aircraft
batteries sprayed far huge verti
cal cones and then rained down to
churn the gloomy river.
On both banks of the WhangPoo
crack divisions of the Chinese and
Japanese armies were deadlocked
In one of the greatest battles in
the history of the fareast. Mili
tary observers estimated that up
wards of 150.000 troops were en
gaged, with the Japanese fighting
a desperate defensive to' keep
from being pushed into the river.
Bombing planes of both armies
carried the battle far afield from
tbe strategic Whangpoo - banks.

liner President Hoover.
Japanese wasrhips bombarded
Pootung, across the river from the
International settlement, as the
third evacuation of Americans
swung under way. Aircraft room

Chinese positions. '
It was estimated 1,000 women,
children and men In all would be
taken by tender to the President
Hoover at Its anchorage at Woo-
sung, where the Whangpoo emp-
ties into the Yangtze river.
The Whangpoo remained the
avenue of escape for evacuating
foreigners after United States au
thorities last night firmly reject
ed Japanese and Chinese measures
which would have restricted river
traffic.
Six Japanese airplanes early In
the morning bombed the Kiang

SHANGHAI, ApK. lO-(Friday)
-(TV Japanese marines fought
tenaciously in Shanghai's eastern
district early today to keep from

the river, but held against the
Chinese attempt to thrust a dis
astrous breach through hem.
The attack began late yester
day, apparenly In an effort to
reach the waterfront and prevent
the landing of large new forces
arriving from Japan. Before
nightfall It had swirled about the
Ward road Jail, within a few hun
dred yards of the Whangpoo.
Telephone messages from Brit
ish .warden remaining at their
posts la the jail said it was sur
rounded by the fighting, which
lad taken on a desperate hand to

was raked by heavy rifle and ma

The Ward road jail Is the chief
prison for the International , set

amates are Americans. An effort
late yesterday to move them to a
safer place failed when E. L. Fan

police .Were tamed back by the
Chinese-Japanese battle.

Enough vaccine to Innoculate
250,000 , persons was rushed
here tonight by airplane,; and

The spreading plague created
a new peril for thousands of Asia

fleeing the war danger in north

The liner Rajputana, carrying
the first British refugees from
Shanghai, docked here today In
pouring rain to find the city al

and Formosa refugees and in the
grip of a cholera epidemic.
Because of the epidemic, inoc
ulation of all new arrivals was
enforced before landing. After
ward they were taken to quarters
provided by the government.
The plague threatened to shut
the door of one of the best hav

Loan to PGE Is Declared
not Cancelled; Mott
Taking Hand now
WASHINGTON, Aug. 19 yPt
Representatlve James Mott of Sa
lem, Ore., said today the suspen
sion of a rural electrification ad
ministration loan of $110,000 to
the Portland General Electric
company would not be lifted un
til REA officials have made a
thorough investigation.
The loan, recently approved,
was held up as a result of a pro
test by Representative Walter M
Pierce of La Grande, Ore., who
said he would demand a Public
hearing In Oregon if an attempt
was made to grant the loan at less
than three per cent Interest.
Pierce contended that a private
utility should not be permitted to
borrow a a lower Interest rate
when funds were available "In
Wall street banks," and that pub
lic cooperatives soon would be
able to purchase power from Bon
neville dam.
The loan was to have been used
for a project in Marlon county.
Mott, who sought withdrawal
of the suspension order, said jthe
loan had not been cancelled.

expressed Intention to drive the
CIO out of the nation's forests
and lumber mills.

brotherhood, volunteered a state

peace could only come to the in
dustry if the revolting lumber
workers returned to their aban
doned locals of the lumber and

same Ume, Mulr announced vic
tories over the CIO In half a doz

He warned then that though
the finished products in the St.

carpenters' unfair list, the strong
brotherhood, with the Interna
tional Brotherhood of Teamsters,
will boycott any products made
after the CIO contract goes Into

In the dusty files of congress.
Advocates of the labor stand

committee to stop blocking the
measure.
But when the roll was called te
open the meeting many southern
ers and some others refused
to answer to their names. Thev
sat with their lips grimly closed
or strolled in the corridors out
side. "Point of order, no quorum Is
present," shouted Representative
Rankin (D-Miss), according to
several legislators who were pres
ent. "A lot of others have come In
that have not answered to their,
names," objected Representative
Healey (D-Mass). one of the chief
backers of the legislation.
"Point of order, no quorum,"
shouted Rankin, again.
So the chair ruled that too few
members were present and that
the meeting could take no action.
Therefore the bill, died so far as
