NEW FCC CHIEF FACES COMPLEX ASSIGNMENT MIST RID COMMISSION Or POLITICAL TAINT MADE REPUTATION BRIDLING POWER COMPANY MAGNATES THEY CAME TO fiROWL. STAYED TO NEGOTIATE WASHINGTON, Aug. 23. The Her cules has been picked to clean the administration's Augean stables. Slight, gray, but with eyes that do not wander and lipa that speak quietly from a llrm Jaw, Prank R. McNlnch. now chairman of the fed eral power commission, Is anything but a Hercules In size or manner. But he's plenty big enough to tackle the Job of straightening out the federal communications commission. That's hts new assignment. It may be his voice, or the way ba learned to use It during the many years when he was talking to a Jury. It may be the fact that his Scotch ancestor moved Into Ireland before the family came to America, or it may be that he would rather plant and nurse a peach or a pear tree than cut one down. But what ever It is. the fact remains that many of . the power magnates who. In the course of his term of service (he waa appointed by President Hoover), came to growl, remained to relax on the upholstery and nego tiate. But, as Mr. McNlnch admits, while he la cautiously Scotch enough to mrrntA fio-lt If he can. he's Irish enough heartily to enjoy one once he's in It. And It will take that spirit to shake down the agency torn by In ternal strife, harassed on the one aide by threatening congressmen and on the other by powerful radio and communication lnteresta. President Roosevelt knew he had to pick a Tartar for the FCC Job. Delay was dangerous, for a malo dorous Investigation threatened. But he had to be sure of his man. This la how he decided: It was at the regular semi-weekly wi.ii. nniiu inference. One ap pointment had Just been made to the commission, i. one more nlace to fill. "Mr. President, do you Intend to fill the other vacancy In the fed eral communications commission be fore congress adjourns?" someone asked. There was a alight pause and, with the use of a little hindsight. ..nn.H.ni, p,n imnctne the Dresl- dent's mind flitting back to an in terview he had had a few minutes before. "Yes." he answered. Ana now It seems aa though he had made up hla mind at that moment. A few minutes after the confer ence ended. Mr. McNlnch waa called back to the White House. Thta time, as he departed, his nomination was . .V.- ,-. In the annate. uu m " " J It was a quick decision, but not a anap decision. Mr. McNlnch haa been "loaned vm.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 31. (UP) First session of the 75th congress ad journed fitne die tonight amid the political debris of a harmony-shattering Democratic family foud. The senate was first to adjourn. It quit at 6:36 p. m. (EST). The house then adjourned sine die at 7:23 p. m. and the session waa over. Senate rebels agalns President Roose velt's abandoned supreme court pro gram attacked administration polit ical tactics with a thunderous fare well bombardment that rocked hopes for party solidarity, promised trouble for an expected special session In No vember to act on farm legislation, and threatened to Jolt the 1938 election campaign. The roaring sunburst of party re sentment broke over the senate as the chief firework of the last plod ding hours before adjournment. It fell particularly across the broad shoulders of Sen. Joseph P. Guffey. (D.-Pa.), who bad denounced foes of the court plan as 'ingn.tes," but it showered brightly over the Demo cratic leadership in general. In the final houra Just before the last gavel fell, the house and senate: 1. Approved the conference report on the $526,000,000 Wagner slum clearance and low cost housing bill, and sent the measure to the White House. 3. passed the bill providing for an Immediate census to determine the number of unemployed worker in thai United States. 3. Adopted the conference report and sent to the White House the third deficiency bill, appropriating money to cover authorizations pre viously approved by congress. Already before the president for approval were the tax loopnoie clos ing bill, the lower court reform measure and sugar marketing legis lation. Pinal routine legislative tasks, however, were overshadowed by the discordant outburst of lntra-party bickering In the senate, where spectator-packed galleries were treated to unexpectedly bitter debate. With the undisturbed Republican minority the only calm figures in the crowded, tense chamber, rebels under leadership of Sen. Burton K. Wheeler. D., Mont.), took the Man- teo speech of President Roosevelt nnd the Friday Guffey radio speecn aa a declaration of war. Wheeler, red faced, beating hla desk with both hands, denounced the 'bosv leadership of the party and challenged the administration to fight out the family dispute at the polls next year. Sen. Joseph C. O'Mahoney, ( D Wyo.), whom Guffey had denounc ed, stood at a front row seat point ing a trembling finger at the Pennsylvanian and calling for his removal aa chairman of the sena torial campaign committee. Sen. Edward R. Burke (O.. Neb.) and 8en. Rush D. Holt, D.. W. Va.) challenged Guffey to a campaign fight In their states and Burke warned party leaders that, if they wanted a fight, they should prepare their "knives and tomahawks be cause It will be a real battle." The senate reluctantly went back to work and cleaned up Its legisla tive business with the fumes of battle still strong oh Capitol Hill The legislative program, as con gress scattered for home after an eight months session, waa unim pressive as compared to past sessions In the Roosevelt administration Both farm and labor legislation were missing, although it was generally expected that President Roosevelt would summon congress back in No vember to act on both problems. PRESIDENT EYES FOR EAST TANGLE WASHINGTON, Aug. J. (, Pres ident Roosevelt and his cabinet, studying every report from the Sino Japanese conflict, followed a policy of "watchful waiting" today. It was a Japanese shell, the cabi net was told, that struck the Aiiim ta. flagship of the United States Aslatr flee',, and killed one sailor and wounded 18 o'hers.

FOGS HALT HUNT FOR SOVIET ACES; Refuel Plane Wrecked Ace On Search Flight Nar rowly Misses Disaster. BARROW, Alaska. Aug. 31. (JPt Pilot Jlmmie Mattern's refueling plane cracked up -In a forced landing near Fairbanks today while dense fog grounded the famous American filer and other aviators assembled here to search for the lost Soviet transpolar airmen.

HP) Shanghai's battle ebbed and flowed today beneath the sullen smoke of miles of blackened ruins while high above the Yangtze to- " ward Nanking a Chinese fleet of 1r planea fought and won the biggest aerial battle of the tragic conflict. So complete was disorganization of thta great international community, catight In the vortex of the undeclar. ed Chinese-Japanese war, that It governing council decided It could ne longer be responsible for Its own Ward Road Jail, the biggest la the world.

It waa In such duelling that one American seaman waa killed and If wounded aboard the American flag ship Augusts Friday night. Until the battelahlp guns began roaring, Shanghai had enjoyed ttie quietest evening of Its ten day of war. Great fire which raged uncliecksel In northern and eastern districts of the city drove out even the contend Ing armies, vlrtuslly erasing the frost In those areas. Soldiers and marines, regardless of the uniforms they wore, had to flee before tha flamea. In some places abandoning position won at the coat of much blood. Reports persisted that the Japan. ese were prepsrlng for a great at tempt today to land army reinforce ments, said to total 50,000 officers snd men, newly arrived from Japan- Japanese officers refused to com ment on the reports, which said the landing was to be made on the south bank of the Yangtze, some 16 miles north of Shanghai.

But the Chinese commend at Nsn king claimed for Its planes a ssrlas of successes a the raiding bombers from the coast were turned back at many point. It asserted at least eight Jspanese planea had .been brought down along the Yangtze valley, while the Chinees lost only three. The biggest raid was that attempt ed by 30 Japanese bombers from car- ri.n off the mouth of the YanfftZ. Chinees officers said. The raiders were en route to Nanking, seeking to destroy the Chinese capital, when they were met by an armada of Chi nese pursuit planea above Chlnklang, on the Yangtze about 80 mllea eaat of Nanking. The great air battle of the war raged above the Yangtze until the Japanese were beaten off with loss of three planes.
