CREATE HAVOC IN WATERFRONT AREA (Continued from Pag One.) wharf area where the million and a half dollar Jukong pier was the Jap anese naval target on the Whang poo's left bank, midway between the heart of Shanghai and Woosung. Reports that the Japanese were shelling Woosung persisted all night, without exact confirmation. Thia seemed highly possible. The Jananese said Chinese troops at Woo sung were menacing their industrial properties in the vicinity and inter fering with Japanese military land ings. Since Woosung's forts are at the Whangpoo-Yangtze confluence, their cast a pall of unnatural light over the city. Foreigners Look On Foreigners and Chinese alike looked on from the roofs of safer sections. Injuries Fatal O RANTS PASS. Aug. 13. (API- Marshal W.

PROCLAMATION WHEREAS, by resolution of the City of Medford, Oregon, there was duly submitted to the legal voters of said city at a special city election duly held in and for said city on the 18th day of June, 1937, the following charter amendments: FIRST: An act of municipal legis lation adding Section 72-L to the Charter to authorize the Council. In addition to bonds and warrants now authorized by charter, to issue bond? in the sum of not to exceed $50,000 for the purpose of repair and recon struction of streets. SECOND : An act of municipal about denyln? reports that he would submit a constitutional amendment for Increasing the size of the su- j preme eourt. The president's original court Bin. which would have authorized him to name as many as six additional Justices, was shelved by the senate last month. AH six members of the committee ! were present and Senator Burke (D.. Neb.) who blocked immediate con- j flrmatlon of the nomination In the senate yesterday attended unoffic ially. Senator Guffey (D., Pa.) also dropped in to listen. Only a dozen spectators were in the room when the meeting opened with Chairman Neely (D W. Va.) presiding. Neely said he had received hall a dozen telegrams on the nomina tion, all but one of which were op posed. One of them, he said, asked whether the senate, or John L. Lewis. C.I.O. leader, was confirming the appointment. No Hearing Sought. Neely said, however, that no one had a&ked for a hearing and he believed none was necessary. He expressed the opinion that members of the committee knew Black's record completely. Senators Logan (D.. Ky.) and Mc Gill (D-, Kans.) had concurred in Neely's view before the hearing opened. Chairman Neely Immediately tried to get In touch with Chairman Ash urst (D., Ariz.) of the full com mittee, to call a meeting of that group either this afternoon or to morrow to act on Black's nomina tion. Regarding the questions of Black's appointment under the constitution. Neely held It was not the duty of lealslatlon amending the Charter of guns constitute an obstacle to any i the City of Medford and adding there- Japanese effort to send ships farther ; to a section to be designated as &ec- vuin nrt,.ttr ct-riinuvai dim! 1 the subcommittee to for unaercrossing superstructure at Southern Pacific tracks near Whlte- "construe the son on Pacific highway, west: Min neapolis Power & Implement Co., Los Angeles, $4696. COMINGS RULES APPOINTMENT IS ENTIRELY LEGAL (Continued rrora Page One.) expressed to him Informally by the attorney-general. Informal Opinion. The president said Cummlngs- opinion on Black had been given to him Informally and verbally. He did not elaborate his remarks mnstttutlon.' "The duties of the subcommittee." he said, "are restricted to ascertain ment of the qualifications of the eligibility of Senator Black for mem bership on the supreme court." Borah Explulns Stand. Senator Borah (R.. Idaho) an nounced he was voting for confirma tion of Black on the basis of his personal fitness for the office, and without regard to the constitutional questions. He reserved the right to raise them later. The motion to report the noml n.finn without further delay was mad bv Senator Dieterlch (D., 111.) after the committee had discussed technical questions for almost an hour In open session attended by all aix members of the subcommit tee, a couple of outside senators, and a small group of spectators.

Civic Center Periled. Greater Shanghai's civic center at Klangwan, constructed at the cost of many millions of dollars and years of labor, seemed gravely threatened In the area north of the main city. Flames stabbed skyward into the darkness from that direction, and there were reports that the splendid buildings already were burning. Within Hongkew, at the north of the International settlement, a death like silence fell around midnight. This was broken, for the time be ing, only by the scrape of hobnailed boots of the patrolling Japanese. These sentries marched with fixed bayonets. Mostly it was dark as pitch. Street lights were doused to frustrate pos sible Chinese snipers. From time to time, however, the far-off flicker of flames from adja cent Chapel, the big Chinese quarter on the west, eased Hongkew's dark ness. A Japanese military car roared oc ooslonally through the almost lifeless streets, . bound on some mysterious mission. Japs Rule Hongkew The little men from Japan were supreme In Hongkew. Thousands of houses and modest shops, normally containing a multitude of noisy Chi nese workers, were without a living soul. Dozens of windows and doors gaped open as if with empty, crazy, grins Inside, the" furniture and belongings stood untouched. The people Just left everything and fled. A trench mortar duel, which shook Shanghai as Friday's darkness fell, was over by midnight. Japanese bat teries about -thler Hongkew head quars fell mute. I In Chapel, too. the Chinese seemed ' content to call a brief halt. j But the flames crackled on. One Japanese told me the Japanese had set some of the fires ' in order to i clear our vision toward Chapel." One area of ten blocks of burning structures, the homes and stores of the unfortunates who braved Chapel again after losing everything in 1932, tion 65-A authorizing the Council to levy an additional and special tax of not to exceed 3 mills on the dollar for the years 1938 to 1943.
