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

the city.

Foreigners and Chinese alike looked

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.

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

Shanghai from the rear.
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."
