Appeal Promised .
The executive committee of the
General Confederation of Labor,
proclaiming a "most vigorous
protest" announced an appeal
would be taken to the. national
committee of the peoples front.
The "national defense" premier
announced yesterday the 40-hour
week must be scrapped -to
strengthen the French 'var ma
chine and spur French business.

Monxie as minister of public
works and Charles Pomaret as

abandonment of the 40-hour week

under the first people's front gov
ernment of Socialist Premier

Socialist and communist news
papers immediately threatened
political revolt against the gov
ernment which they have support
ed, with qualifications, since its
formation April 10.
Blum's 'newspaper, Le Popu
late, termed Daladler's plan "sur
prising and troubling." while the
communist paper, L'Humanite,
headlined that "the working class
will defend its social conquests."
The premier's action" brought
to a head a , long-gathering con
flict between: the right and left
wings of the people's front.
Friends said Daladier had drafted
such a decree as early as last June
to relax operation of the 40-hour
week but the opposition of Ram
adier and Frossard deterred him.
Increased working hours are in

'Boring Within9
Said Extended
Into Churches
Matthews Tells Probers
Communists Are in
Army, Studios
Says Communists Believe
Army Mutiny Could
Be Created
WASHINGTON, Aug. 22-P)-J.
B. Matthews, a former leader of
the communist "united front,"
told the house committee on un-
American activities today that the
communist party's policy of quiet
ly "boring from within" had ex
tended its influence and doctrines
into the regular political parties,
the churches, the army, and even
the studios of Hollywood.
Communists with whom he was
closely associated at on e time
made these boasts to him, he said:
That in the event of war they
were confident they could create
a 'mutinous situation in tne
army."
Bridges Would
Paralyse Coast
That Harry Bridges, west coast
labor leader, could be relied upon
to "paralyze shipping" at Pacific
ports.
And that party members, se
cretly and strategically situated.
could sabotage the production of
munitions.
These activities were to be un
dertaken, -however, only if a war
were on against communist Rus
sia, or a conflict in which the
communists disapproved Ameri
can objectives, he said.
Ot principal importance la the
movement to "bore from within,"
Matthews reiterated, were "front
organizations," secretly formed j
and controlled by communists',
which numerous prominent Amer
icans had been Induced to join
and assist by the use of their fam
ous names.
He quoted Earl Browder, head
of the communist party in Amer
ica, as having said the movement
had "preachers active in churches
who are members of the com
munist party."
He said the party was endeav
oring to drive a "wedge" into the
regular political parties, the dem
ocratic party being its- present
major objective. Such tactics were
not, however, confined to that one
party, he added.
"In many sections of the coun
try, there are candidates for of
fice on the republican ticket who
adhere to the party line," he tes
tified.
Out of the chaos of the demo
cratic party's destruction, Mat
thews said, it was expected that
a national farmer-labor party
would emerge. With it in power,
he continued, communists would
work into influential positions
and campaign for "social secur
ity" and huge relief expenditures
until a collapse of the .currency
induced a major economic crisis.
"Not only upon the economy's
currency but ! upon every other
front of the capitalist system, this
incessant sabotage would do its
work until finally the s y s t e m
would require a receiver," he re
lated.". "The communist : party would
then step in as the most militant,
cohesive and highly disciplined
minority available to take over
the functions of government. Thus
would the dictatorship of the pro
letariat Inaugurate a soviet Amer
ica." Vermont Faithful

Investigator
PHILADELPHIA. Aue. 22-Pk
A prison disturbance that start
ed with an organized revolt
against a "monotonous" diet of
.hamburger and spaghetti was cli
maxed today by. the mysterious
death of four "hunger strikers."-
coroner Charles B. Hersch said
the men "evidently met with a
violent death." He ordered an
autopsy
Dr. Morton Crane, the coro
ner's physician, asserted the men
died "violent deaths" and prob
ably were scalded by hot water.
"Alt rour exhibited svmntoma
of nasal congestion that is typical
oi aeatn by gas, steam or hot
water. In the absence of a tho
rough post-mortem. I should sat
that death likely was caused by
noi water."
Coroner Hersch said "fflgvhe It
was steam, but the fact that only
parts of the bodies were burned
Inclines me to believe It was scald
ing water." He added:
"I'm sure it was not fire. That
would have burned the victims
over large areas of their hndia
aa they were in the cells nude."
Hersch said the autopsy would
be performed tomorrow. H ar
ranged an inquest for next Mon
day.
There were also hrnispa rtA
abrasions and bv abrasion I
mean bruises where the skin is
ripped off, and they still showed
ciota xtu blood.- That would indi
cate deafly to me that they were
beaten before beine scalded tn
death."
All the bodies were naked and
wet.
Warden William R. Mm nf
the Philadelphia county prison at

been fighting among themselves,
but that he knew of no rioting

S H A N G H A I . Aue. 22-UP-
Swiftly following up severe aerial
and naval bombardments, Jap
anese infantrymen struck fierce
ly throughout the Yangtze river
sector today in a desperate at
tempt to break the long deadlock
which has delayed the Japanese
drive toward Hankow. Chinese
provisional capital.
The invaders particularly aimed
at smashing Chinese lines to open
pathways to Nanchang, Kiangsi
province capital 100 miles south
of Kiukiang, present Yangtze riv
er base for the Japanese opera
tions. Kiukiang is about 135
miles downstream from Hankow.
To get at Nanchang the Jap
anese launched a wide-circling
overland drive on which they plan
to go south and west around Lake
Poyang, which lies south and
slightly east of Kiukiang, and
nroceed nn to Nanchanr. on the
southwest corner of the lake, j-,-
The final drive is expected to
be timed with a simultaneous
drive southward to Nanchang
along the railway from Kiukiang.
While Japanese forces on both
banks of the Yangtze attempted
to advance nn the river under the
fire of warships, with severe
fighting around Reed lae 20
miles west of Kiukiang, a Jap
anese column newly : landed - on
Lake; Poyang's eastern shore
threatened Tuchang, ; about . 50
