WASHINGTON, D. C, Aug. 16.
The White House press confernoe fol
lowing the nomination of Senator
Black for the supreme court was well
attended. The president was as chip
per as ever. He had a recent haircut
and there were no visible signs of the
battle scars from the congressional re
volt which bad spread to the house
from the senate.
When the subject of the wages and
hours bill, stymied In the rules com
mittee, was brought up, the president
said there was no news on it.
But there might have been If Pres
ident Roosevelt had chosen to dis
close the battle plan which had Just
been completed subject, of course,
to change In these days of strange
victsssltudes.
This Is the strategy, as It had been
laid down In case the rules commit
tee remained obdurate:
Each committee chairman In the
. house was to be approached with a
warning to the effect that the rules
committee was assuming legislative
powers; that It was refusing to grant
the rule required to bring the bill out
on the floor of the house for consid
eration until the measure was tail
ored to suit Its taste.
The argument would then be ad
vanced that, If the rules committee
pursued Its present course, the rest
of the committee might as well be
abandoned entirely.
From Monday to Friday of last
week, Washington witnessed the
smoothest piece of lightning lobbying
that It has seeen In many ft moon
when King Cotton called on the pres
ident for help In Its hour of need.
Th whole thing was stage-managed
by a single businesslike figure, but
wrapped In a romantlo robe of ln
Intrlgue and adventure.
He was Col. Lawrence Westbrook.
one-time promoter of farm coopera
tives, Texas relief official and and la
ter assistant director of Harry Hop

The colonel at present Is retained In
an advisory capacity by the WPA and
Is honorary director (without honor

SHANGHAI, Aug. 17. (Tuesday)
(AP) Chinese soldiers drove desper
ately at Japan's fortress-like naval
headquarters under the glare of star
shells early this morning as the
land, sea and air battle of Shanghai
entered Its fifth day.
On both banks of the Whangpoo
river, Shanghai's outlet to the sea,
the battle raged furiously, large Chi
nese forces hammering with Infantry
and artillery against Japanese naval
units facing both ways from the
river.
The Chinese asserted they had cap
tured the Japanese headquarters,
huge steel and concrete building at
the northern boundary of Shanghai's
Hongkew park, whence Japanese guns
had been blasting their lines.
This has been the key point of the
Japanese shore positions.
Clal mi. Ridiculed
But Japanese officials said the Chi
nese claims were ridiculous. They
also denied reports that Chinese
bombing planes had disabled a Jap
anese submarine and two gunboats
off Wooaung in Monday's bombing
forays.
''The Whangpoo, center of the bat
tle eon e, was the avenue of escape for
Shanghai's American and other for
eign communities, which began
wholesale evacuations of Shanghai.
All American women and children
were oraered withdrawn and the first
refugees already had been taken
down the shell-swept river to a
bome-bound liner.
The Japanese warships on tbe
Whangpoo turned their chief atten
tion to a great concentration of Chi
nese troops In Pootung, teeming In
dustrial district Just across the river
from Shanghai. Thirty fit forty
thousand of China's best soldiers
with artillery were reported to have
taken up positions there, exchanging
fire with the Japanese ships at al
most point-blank range.

Third Term Effort by Roosevelt Will Be
Resented Is Republican Solon's View;
Supreme Court Bill Dead as Dodo
By Joseph Plgney
PORTLAND. Aug. 18. (p) The American public will resent a third
term effort by President even more than his attack on the supreme court,
Senator Charles L. McNary of Oregon.Republlcan minority leader, told In
terviewers upon his return from Washington today.
There will be no revival of the su
preme court measure." he sold, "It Is
as dead as a 'dodo'." i
Senator McNary, who found the call ;
home "Irresistible" and left the hot
capital before oongress adjourned,
brought vital news of national and
state affairs to his Oregon people.
"The Bonneville dam measure as
passed by the senate Is the best bill
ever provided for a government oper
ation of a power and navigation pro
ject," he said.
Fair to Companies
"It protects public Interest more ef
fectively than other measures of a
similar nature. It Is fair to private
companies and much better than the
one passed by the house."
The senator, chief sponsor for the
vast northwest power measure, re
marked he "didn't know a thing"
about J. D. Ross of Seattle, promi
nently mentioned as a candidate for
Bonneville administrator.
Then he added "I know a hell of a
lot but I'm not going to tell It now."
Oregon's grant for capltol building
development Is not at the top of the
list, the Republican chief said, out
"we'll ret It."
"They are going to use the first
money for burned schools and public
buildings damaged by floods, but I m
certain there will be enough left for
a capital grant."
McNary interviewed Interior Secre
