FAR EASTERN CONFLICT ADDS TO HILL'S WOES "BOOTS OF WAR" HIT IN TRADE BARRIERS SPECIALIST IN ECONOMICS SINCE SIXTIETH CONGRESS WASHINGTON, Aug. 29. Secretary of State Cordell Hull, who has spent hla term of office tearing down the tariff barrierB of the world In the hope of killing what he calla "the root of war" that sprout behind them, now finds himself facing the responsibility of keeping America out of the bitter conflict In the Far East. War. when there Is no official war. Is presenting acute problems to the nation's minister of foreign affairs, aready faced with a situation that few secretaries of state have ever been forced to meet. The misnamed neutrality law has made Mr. Hull's Job no easier. But those who know him best are thankful that the president has such n adviser. The secretary of state Is moving from the diplomacy of peace into the fringe of war relations. How well he may acquit himself may be Judged by his record. Cordell Hull, serious, soft wtced, white haired, Is the perfect picture of the elder statesman, courtly, wise and kind. But although he Js slow to anger, once deeply stirred he hss a fighting vocsbulary and action to suit his words. Tariff wall are Mr. Hull's special ty. He hss gazed across their tops so long and steadily that he knows more about Internal economic policies of most countries than msny of their own foreign ministers, and far more of our own than many people sus pect, At the Ill-fated economic confer ence in London, he won the aston ished respect of the foreign delegates, who were accustomed to quite a dif ferent type of minister of foreign affairs. In Europe, the foreign mln- later is a politician statesman, he defines It who knows all the devious ways of International politics, but concerns himself far less with eco nomics. The impetus that started Cordell Hull on his public career grew up In a school that no longer exists the atmosphere of a county whose Interest in political affairs was keen that, as he says, "even the boys awaited election news with the same Interest that they do the outcome of their college football today." In what la now Overton county, In the mountains of Tennessee, where there was no railroad and travel was difficult, Cordell Hull was born on October 3, 1871. Mr. Hull's family was not actively engaged In politics, but his father took an sctlve Interest In his son's career. The boy completed his education In the common schools snd went to Cumberland university. In Lebanon, where he was graduated In law In 1881. The same year he was admit ted to the bar and began practice In the nearby town of Cellna. Two years passed and Cordell Hull found himself at the Tennessee state house, where he served as representa tive from 1893 to 1897. In the spring of 1B98. came war with Spain.

(vVP) Ja pan's great air bombers today, car ried the war into Nantao, old native city of Shanghai, and Inflicted 000 civilian casualties In an area which had been relatively unscathed by the two-week battle for Shanghai. Sixteen planes participated In a leisurely, thorough bombing of Nan tao, strewing death and destruction through Its narrow, crowded streets. Mayor O. K. Ylu of Greater Shanghai said 200 were killed, 400. wounded, all Chinese noncombatants.. Nantao la .the old walled city that stood on the banks of the Whangpoo before the foreigners came 100 years ago to make Shanghai. Its walls were raised In the sixteenth, century to keep out Japanese pirates. It lies Just south of the French concession in which most Shanghai - Americans have their homes. Savage Fight Ashore The bombing of Nantao and re newal of savage fighting along the Whangpoo, Shanghai's outlet to the sea, brought the war and Its perils to foreigners back to the gates of the International areas, which yes terday had enjoyed a day's respite. Today Americana fleeing from Shanghai's perils again were under fire and the cruiser Augusta, flag ship of the United States .Asiatic fleet, had another narrow escape from shelling. One hundred sixty American, car ried on a tender down the whang poo-to board the Manila-bound Pres ident Lincoln, witnessed a- battle between Japanese bombing planes and. Chinese land forces near woo sung, at the confluence of the Whangpoo and the Yangtze. The Americans aaw two big Jap anese bombers shot down In flames. the most decisive blow struck at Japan's air forces lq the warfare immediately around Shanghai. Showers of shrapnel and shell fragments from Chinese and Jap anese guns alike fell on the Presi dent Lincoln's decks, causing pas sengers to seek safety below, but none was hurt. The Augusta was endangered when a Chinese battery In Chapel, north- Uern native district of Shanghai, went Into action against Japanese - shore positions In Hongkew. A projectile fell Into the Whangpoo close to the cruiser, moored off the International settlement. Warship In Line Fire The detonstlon and - shower of fragments caused the Augusta's crew to take refuge below decks, but neither the ship nor her crew suf fered hurt. Admiral Harry E. Yarnell, commander-in-chief of ttie Asiatic fleet, ordered stricter precautionary measures to prevent repetition of the shelling of August 30. In which one of the Augusta's seamen was killed and 17 wounded. Chinese authorities estimated that the toll taken In Nantao raised the list of civilian casualties In Bhang hal's two weeks of war to 0,000, nearly all Chinese. Independent observers said they knew of no military objectives in Nantao, but apaneae had charged It harbored Chinese artillery and had threatened to bomb tt as they pre viously had punished Chapel and other Chinese sections of Shanghai, Chinese artillery retaliated latar by shelling Japanese-held Hongkew, In flicting numerous casualties. Marines On Job United States marines, holding four-mile line along Soochow creek facing Chapel and protecting the Anglo-American section of the In ternational settlement, labored In torrid, sunshine to strengthen their wire and sandbag barricades. This was In preparation for any drastic change In the Chapel military situa tion, which might send- Chlni soldiers swarming against the settle ment's boundaries. Sir Hughe Montgomery K natch bull Hugessen, British ambassador , to China, was reported recovering 'in a Shanghai hospital from serious wounds suffered Thursday when he was a tucked by Japanese aerial ma chine gunners.

L AND SPEED CURB URGEDJY SNELL Basic Speed Law ; Inade quate' Governors On Cars Of Violators Held Safety Need. PORTLAND. Aug. M. WV-Earl Snell, secretary of state, recommend ed here today a change In state motor vehicle laws providing for fixed speed limits and the placing of governors on the cars of convicted reckless driv ers. "I am convinced," said the secre tary of state, "that our present basic speed law. standing alone as a speed regulation ia Inadequate. It has wlde apread interpretation by Individual drivers as meaning 'no speed limit in Oregon'." He said enforcement officers bavc been handicapped in enforcing the law as It now stands. It provides that the driver shall not exceed a speed which is greater than will permit him to exercise proper control of his vehicle, having due regard for traffic conditions, surface and width of the highway and the hazards at curves and Intersections. "As stated by msny authorltlea whom I have Interviewed," said Mr. Snell. "It Is an excellent rule In theory, but left to Individual Inter pretation by 400,000 drivers It is prov ing dangerous In practice." Snell. recommended, the. setting up of fixed spoed limits throughout the state-- will, all -roads and. . highways carefully toned by highway engineers, taklnar Into consideration tlie nature of the roads and all safety factors and establishing the maximum speed accordingly. Higher speeds would be allowed on straight stretches of well- paved, unconsented highways in re mote, sections, the nature of which would permit speed without the ele ment of hazard. ' : . Tht basic law, be continued, should be retained to regulate all driving within fixed speed limits. Bad weath er conditions or other unusual dr. cumstances might easily mske diiv nc at the maxmum speed dangerous and reckless. The Basio rwe enouio be left to apply In. those situations. Snell said hla recommendations were the result of exhaustive study of highway safety and of innumerable expressions of opinion on the subject from public officials and private source, TO SPEAK UP THIRD TERM PLAN ' CINCINNATI.

FIND RADIO BEAM TO LAND PLANES SAFELYJ FOGS Tests At Oakland ..Field Prove 'Worth -4 On All Transports By Next Summer. OAKLAND, Calif., Aug. 38. (AP) Giant air liners sliding down radio beams to safe landings on fog shrouded runways was the prospect held out today ss the result of teats made here with a revolutionary new aid to blind flying. Fifty times yesterday, two huge transports landed at Oakland airport with nothing to guide the pilots save two tiny needles on Instrument boards In sealed, covered cockpits. A department of commerce search subcommittee, composed of airlines representatives, watched the tests with such enthusiasm that they recommended the department order the apparatus Installed as soon as possible on all transport planes. Developed through more than three years experimenting by a group of major airlines, the apparatus utilizes high frequency direction radio beam that lifts from the ground on the same angle that a descending plane flows. The beam actuates two needles In the plane that keep the pilot headed directly for the runway and on the proper descending angle. Once the landing wheels touch, the pilot has only to settle the tall of his plane and apply his brakes to stop. "Pilots never thought we could do such a thing," said an airline spokes man. "Now they hope the equipment can be installed on all transports by early next summer." The two experimental planes are to be flown, east shortly for further research.
