WASHINGTON. July 28. Governor
Wln&hlp. when he sails back to bis
poet in Puerto Rico Thursday will
carry In his pocket a plan, so far
carefully guarded from the -eyes of
the public. If he goes through with
It, the charms of Uncle Sam's some
what obstreperous ward In the An
tilles may become a rival ofMallbu
and Miami.
According to the blue-print, the In
sular government would spend some
$300,000 a year for the next two years
on tourist lure. It Is presumed by the
few men who know the details that
the Island littoral would be convert
ed Into another palm-covered bathing
beach with a bathing beauty under
each palm.
Anyhow, the governor expects to
have the services of a publicity ex
pert who glorified the sirens of Flor
ida and mado the bathing suit the
second thing a tourist looks at In any
resort ad.
Into the beguiling picture of lux
urious leisure that la to be Puerto
Rico, thsre will sail a famous ship-
none other than the storied Levia
than, now tethered to a Hoboken
dock by rusty hawsers and to the
United states government by a heavy
mortgage.
If the special three-weeks1 aurvey
now under way ahowe her to be sat
isfactory, the Leviathan la about to
add to the many roles she haa el'
ready played aa mistress of the seas;
as the liner Vaterland before aha was
seized and made over Into a troopship,
then a luckless and expensive liner
again under the American flag,
governmental white elephant, and
now a sort of mortgaged "trade-in"
for the new ship the International
mercantile marine is pledged to build
In her place.
It Is understood Maritime Commis
sioner Kennedy's oxeh has been given
to transform the ship Into a floating'
hotel, anchored as near the beach of
San Juan as her deep draught will
allow. Under these conditions, the
United States would probably be the
owner while a hotel company oper
ated her.
After using the Leviathan aa
troopship to pack soldiers to France
and bring them back, the government
paid Germany $12,000,000 for the Le
viathan. It cost about M.ooo.OOO to
recondition her. . Anyone who slept

Marines Establish
Emergency Haven
In Peiping Battle
PKirlNQ. July 28. (Delayed almost SO hours) The last remaining
telegraph line from Pelplng to Tientsin went dead at 6:45 a. m. today
(5:45 p. m. Tuesday. E.S.T.)
Pelplng's only communication with outside world was through limited
radio facilities.
PE3PINO (by wireless to Shanghai)
July 28. (AP) The majority of the
'5 American civilians In Pelplng
took refuge In tha United States em
bassy compound tonight at the cloae
of the first day of major Chinese
Japanese hostilities in this area.
The five hundred United States
martnea of the embassy guard hur
riedly set up an emergency encamp
ment for the civilian refugees.
Marine Wounded
Julius Fllszar of Baston, Penn.. a
member of the marine guard, was
wounded slightly when fired upon by
Chinese soldiers who apparently mis
took him for a Japanese. The Unit
ed Statea embassy aald it did not
consider the Incident serious.
It apparently was confirmed to
night that the Chinese 29th army
had scored heavily against the Japa
nese, who are attempting to expel
them from Pelplng and the nearby
trouble area. ,
Chinese took a number of Japanese
cosualtlea when the Japanese attack
ed them at Nanyuan, south of Pelp
lng, early today.
The engagement opened with 17
Japanese planea dropping exploaive
and Incendiary bombs while artillery
shelled the Chinese lines.
Take Heavy Toll
Chinese Infantrymen withdrew to
positions from which, well eetabllsh
ed reports said, their snipers found
targets among the Japanese forces.
Ninety wounded Chinese soldiers who
arrived at Pelplng tonight said they
took a heavy toll of Japanese lives.
The Chinese said they had cap
tured Fengtal, Japanese field head
quarters. This waa considered by
military authorities here as "thor
oughly possible" since Japanese had
withdrawn as many troops as possi
ble from the Fengtaln garrison when
they launched attacks to drive out
the recalcitrant 29th Chinese army
elsewhere.
Reinforcements from the 37th di
vision of the 29th army came east
ward across the Yungtlng river to
aid In the Chinese offensive.
Tungchow Captured
Chinese officers also declared their
troops captured Tungchow. east of
Pelplng. They aald Yin Ju-Klng,
head of the Hopeh province auton
omous regime, which favors Japan,
had been captured at Tungchow, his
"capital."
(A Domel (Japanese) news agency
report to Tokyo aald Japanese forces
opened a heavy artillery bombard
ment of Cblneae positions at Lu
kouchlao and Wanplnghslen, south'
western and western suburbs of Pelp
lng.)
The Japanese embassy circulated a
statement which reaffirmed previous
declarations, the Japanese army did
not Intend to take action against
Pelplng nor bomb the city from the
air.
The statement aald the aafety ot
all foreigners In the city was assured.
Chinese Entrench
However, the Chinese 29th army
dug trenches In front of the embassy
quarter.
Japanese airplanes flew over tne
city, dropping leaflets asserting their
determination to oust the 29tn army
Fighting subsided In large measure
aa the day ended. When darkness
fell, cannon could be beard booming
In the distance, however.
Americans and other foreigners
within the walla faced the night
cheerfully, apparently convinced the
embassy quarter waa a aafe refuge.

Give Board Power to Set
Minimum Wages High As
70 Cents 35-Hour Week
WASHINGTON. July 38. P) The
house labor committee drastically re
vised the administration's wage-hour
bill today to give the proposed labor
standards board power to establish
minimum wages as high as 70 cents
an hour and a maximum work week
as short as 35 hours.
The house committee acted wh'.lP
the senate debated the admlnlstra
tlon measure to permit such a board
to fix wages no higher than 40 cents
an hour and hours no longer than
40 a week.
The house changes were made, com
mittee members said, after Chairman
Norton (D.-N.J.) voted to break a tie.
The changes were prepared by Rep
reaentatlve Wood (D.-Mo.)
Although declining details of the
amendment. Representative Rams-
peck (D., Or.), ranking majority
member, predicted It would defeat
the bill In the house If left un
changed.
"Representing the section I do."
he said, "X know I will vote against
the bill If these changes remain."
Across the capltol, Senator Vanden-

He called for "a period of adjust
ment" to the Wagner labor relations
law before placing the nation under
a "new code."
"There Is such a thing aa economic
Indigestion," he said "There Is also
such a tlung as economlo suicide.'
While Vandenberg spoke. President
William Green of .the American Fed
eration of Labof said to rn statement
that amendments offered by the
Michigan senator yesterday were "the
first step toward government control
of unions."
Vandenberg proposed amendments
to the wage-hour bill designed to In
crease labor's responsibility In dis
putes with an employes.
"We protest the proposed amend
ments," Green said, "because we can
not accept restrictions Jeopardising
the future freedom and democracy
of the membership of the American
Federation of Labor."
He said the unfair labor practices
sections of Vandenberg's proposal
"provide for an extent of regulation
of unions by the government that
falls little short of the example set
by Fascism Germany.
Vandenberg coupled his attack on
the wage and hour bill the Black-
Connery measure with a demand
that the "one-way street" of the Wag
ner labor relations act be revised to
govern the conduct of. union organlz
atlons.
Submitting changes In the labor
relations measure as an amendment
to the wage-hour bill, Vandenberg
asserted that "protection of civil lib
erties cannot be a permanently one
way street, no matter who controls
the street."

WASHINGTON. July 28. p) Rob

merely followed precedents In ruling
that a radio contract did not result
In taxable Income of Mrs, Franklin
D. Roosevelt.
Mrs. Roosevelt, Jackson told a Joint
congressional tax committee, "receiv
ed no Income for herself and was no
richer directly or Indirectly for her
labors."
Because the contract provided
Philadelphia charity should receive
$3,000 after each broadcast, Rep re

the presidents wife of using a tax
loophole. Jackson was called at the
Insistence of Republican committee
members to explain the ruling.
Deny Clever Scheme
During his testimony, the assistant
attorney general denied vigorously
that Mrs. Roosevelt had employed "1
clever little scheme" to avoid tax pay
ments. "Doesn't the cose of Mrs. Roose
velt come In the category of 'a clever
little scheme" to use the president's
own words?" asked Representative I
Tread way (R,-Mass). I
"There, you are questioning her
motive," Jackson replied. "I think it
does not come In such a category. If
Mrs. Roosevelt had wanted to avoid
her taxes, she would not have oome

He contended there was no dis
