His plan stirred speculation today as to whether he would use the occa sion to press his campaign against re-election of congressmen not meeting his standards of "liberal ism." Aides said the speech would be addressed primarily to a banquet of socfal security employes. Mr. Roosevelt will speak from the White House, beginning at 6:30 p. m., (FST)'for 15 minutes. The social security act, however, is the keystone of the president's social reform program. Under the circumstances, politicians here wondered whether Mr. Rosevelt might not see fit to restate some of his aims for the future and to call again, as he did in his recent fireside chat, for election of con gressmen who would support him. There was speculation, too, in view of his outright action in asking for defeat of Senator George (D-Ga.), as to whether he would call names. . In this connection, it was re called that in the Maryland prim ary Rep. David J,, Lewis, who is campaigning as a wholehearted Roosevelt supporter, has made an issue of Senator Millard Tydings' vote of "present" when the social security act was passed by the senate.

Press U.S. Marines In Row With Japs At Shanghai Anniversary Of War Brings Grave Crisis' In Chinese City NEW YORK, Aug. 13. M Senator Sherman Minton (D. Ind.) today described American news papers as "big business" backed by "the money of men who, in my opinion would not scruple to throw this country into fascism rather than surrender their privi leges." The Indiana democrat, in a broadcast speech prepared for delivery before the American Press society, accused the wire services of "monopolistic practices." The American Newspaper Pub- (. Ushers association, he said, had made an "impudent and hypocrit ical proposal" ' to "censor free speech by curbing the radio," 'and he had "assumed that if the press had set for itself the task of cleaning up the house of radio it wouldn't mind putting its own house in order, so I proposed a little bill that would help that tho'ight along." "I proposed." he said, "that It should be a crime to publish as a fact anything known to be false. In other words, it would be a crime to lie, knowing it to be a lie ... I do not believe that the constitution or those who framed it ever intended it to be used as a defense for the liar and slanderer. "Then it was that I learned from the great newspaper pub lishers that they claimed the con stitutional 'right to deliberately lie. and that you cannot run a newspaper without lying deliber ately." SHANGHAI. Aug. 13. OP) Three Japan'e soldiers were seized by United States marines today after a clash in the Amer ican defense sector of the Inter national Settlement The encounter occurred during widespread disorders that swept Shanghai and involved both Brit ish and ItaUan sentries in inci dents on patrol duty in the inter national settlement. The disor ders marked the first anniversary of the outbreak of hostilities with Japan in the Central China area. One Japanese In Hospital Two of the Japanese who de fied the United States patrol were turned over to a representative of the Japanese army. The third, hit over the head when he re sisted, was taken to a hospital. The men denied they were con nected in any way with Japan's military I forces but Japanese authorities acknowledged they were attached to the special serv ice section of the Japanese army.

(P) The largest daily engagement of Bri tish gold shipment here in more than a year was reported today as the aftermath of a week of fever ish demand for the metal in the London market in connection with uneasiness over central Europe and German military maneuvers.

The commission's stand was re viewed upon a vote to reconsider after a petition carrying several hundred signatures wa. received from Klamath Falls. On the recommendation of two game Sjxperts, Stanley G. Jewett of the U. 5. biological survey, and Arthur Elnarson of Oregon State college, the commission decided to go ahead with its original plan. Jewett and Einarson said that hunting in the preserve would scatter the bands of deer and re lieve concentration on winter feeding grounds in the lava beds of northern California.
