Harry E, Yarnell;
commander-in-chief of the United
States Asiatic fleet, announced to
day he had warned both Chinese
and Japanese authorities against
shellfire over American and
foreign warships after an Amerl-
can seaman was auiea.
"I asked them especially to re
frain from firing over the Augus

It was on the Augusta, $10,

Freddie. John Falgout, 21. "of
naeeianu, la., was aiiiea ana it
of his 800 crewmates slightly In
jured, by an anti-aircraft shell
last night.
The flagship was lying In the
Whangpoo river, near the heart
of the international settlement,
when the projectile crashed on
one of the cruiser's decks.
Chinese authorities were inves
tigating the incident to determine
the source of , the. shell, , said
Mayor O. K. ;YuI, but he added, :
apparently In conflict with Yar
nelPs announcement, that no pro
test had been received from Unit

Fiercest Duel of
Artillery Staged -
The Augusta was hit j while
Chinese air bombers andj shore
batteries and big guns of the Jap
anese fleet on the river were
fighting the fiercest bomb and
artillery duel of the 8-day Shang
hai conflict. At Washington it was
reported the fatal. shell was Jap
anese. --
A fourth of Shanghai's densely
populated area was set ablaze by
bombs . and shells and the fires
rages furiously into the night
with no effort to check them. The
largest of them were along the
waterfront of Pootung. industri
al area across the Whamgpoo
from Shanghai's Internationa
settlement, where Chinese airmen
bombed Japanese properties, and
In Honghew, the" Japanese section
of the city.
Three United States citizens
and more than 1000 Chinese
were killed last Saturday when
Chinese bombs fell into interna
tional areas of the city.
American losses were believed
heavy in the fires roaring
tbroug the industrial district on
both banks of the Whangpoo.
Plants of the Sherwin-Williams
Paint company and the Simmons
Mattress company were reported
burned. In or close to the burn
ing Pootung district are big stor
age plants of the American Standard-Vacuum
and Texas Oil com
panies. Their fate was not known.
The war had driven all fire
fighting companies out of the
burning districts. The flames
spread steadily along the water
fronts, close to the anchorages
of the $10,000,000 Augusta, the
destroyers Edsall and Parrott and
the gunboat Sacramento.

Harmful Logging
Practice in Polk
Is Cited by Mott
WASHINGTON, Aug. 20P)
Representative James Mott of
Salem, Ore., said today he had
asked Secretary Ickes to invoke
authority granted under a bill
sent to the White House this
week to halt "harmful" log
ging operations on grant lands
near Dallas, Ore.
The bill, when signed by the
president, will set np a new ad
ministrate plan for revested
Oregon nd California grant
lands, and will give the secre
tary of the interior power to
bait such operations as he con
siders harmful, Mott said.
Dallas had protested that the
logging created a fire hazard
and threatened the watershed.

Prepared Already
Information that President
Roosevelt had approved the al
location of S450 as a PWA grant
for construction of new state llh-.
rary building In Salem, was re
ceived by Senator Charles L. Mc
Nary Friday in a telegram from
Harold L. Ickes. PWA admin
istrator.
This approval, recently viewed
as doubtful in view of official
statements from officials at the
national capital, removes the last
possible obstacle in the path of
the long-advocated library build
ing project, its immediate result
will be to speed up the caPitol re
construction commission's nego
tiations to purchase property In
the block across Court street to
the north from the present cap-
itol site, the planned location of
the library structure.
State funds in the amount of
8550,000 for construction and
8300,000 for site purchase were
authorized by the 1937 legislature.
Option on approximately halt
of the block already has been
closed and negotiations with other
property owners are being car
ried on by Commissioner Harry
Banfield, who said he would be
ready to submit further options
to the commission for final ap
proval next week.
Plans Must Be
Ready November 1
Work on the detailed plans for
the structure, the estimated total
cost of which Is 81.000,000 along
with a central heating plant for
thr entire group ot 'state bnild
ings, is already under way by
Whltehouse A Church, Portland
architects.
Under the terms of an agree
ment with PWA officials they are
to be submitted for approval by
November 1 and construction op
erations are scheduled to start
within 60 days from that date.
Completion of the library Is set
for not later than June 30, 1939.

Adjournment Is Set for
Today; Items Added
to Finance Bill
By RICHARD L. TURNER
WASHINGTON, August 2H)
Congress coasted comfortably
along toward adjournment today
with just a few more issues to be
settled before the legislators say
a willing farewell to the steamy
heat of a Washington summer
and the even more torrid contro
versies of the past session.
Officially and definitely, party
leaders in both houses fixed the
adjournment hour at late tomor
row afternoon, or sometime to
morrow evening.
Senate leaders clung during
the day to a hope the adjourn
ment might be reached tonight
When the house refused the up
per branch recessed until noon
tomorrow.
Houses Debate on
Minor Problems
Throughout the afternoon, the
senate happily added items to the
8138,000,000 third deficiency ap
propriation bill, while the house'
debated the advisability of buy
ing reindeer for the Alaskan es
kimos and of sending a delega
tion on an autumnal junket to
Hononlulu.
Then, Into this idyllic situa-
ffnn otrnrlA Jfthn T. Ijiw! nf thA
committee for Industrial organ
ization, irate and storming at the
democratic leadership because of
the tact that the wage-hour bill,
passed by the senate, Is now in
extricably trapped in the bouse
rules committee.
The program which they party
promised. In last year'a campaign
has been sabotaged by "a small
group of Its more conservative
members," he said in a preparfS
statement issued in his capacity
as chairman of labor's non-partisan
league.
He referred to last night's
abortive house democratic cau
cus at which many hoped by par
ty action to get the wage-hour
bill out of the committee and
onto the floor.
Party Discipline -Challenge
Hurled
"To the leaders of the demo
cratic party," Lewis continued,
"it presents the challenge wheth
er to restore sufficient party disci
pline to permit government to
function under their guidance, or
to confess that their party is not
the vehicle by which the people
of the country may, progress to
a solution ot their pressing social
problems." -
In that last sentence the hom
ing legislators found material for
speculation. Washingtogn has
buzzed with reports that Lewis is
on the outs with President Roose
velt. ' 'I
The senate got to work on the
deficiency bill, last appropriation
measure of the session, carrying
some 8138,000,000 for purposes
which have arisen since the reg
ular departmental appropriation
bills were passed or which were
overlooked in the bills' prepara
tion. To this the senate added 8500
to meet emergencies arising from
the war in China, ordered ear
marked the sum of 82,005,000 for
the purchase of land Increasing
the area of the Yosemite National
park in California, and wrote' in

assuring senators -from the wheat
states that they will help If an

senate ordered $65,000,000 of

for subsidy payments on this
year's cotton crop.
The house, meanwhile approved
the sugar control bill and sent ft
to the White House where it Is
assured of a cold reception be
cause of restrictions imposed upon
imports of sugar from Hawaii and

This done, the house quickly
