CANTON, China, July 7. fAP
An official commuHlquo said Japan
ass war planea raided Poochow tbrec
times today, dropping 86 bombs and
causing casualties that may extend
Into the hundreds.
(Poochow Is the capital of Fukien
province and has a population of
nearly 1,000,000).

SHANGHAI, July 7. (AP) Ter
rorist attacks against Japanese re
sumed In Shanghai today on the
first anniversary of the China war.
Foreign troops. Including United
Stated marines, and police reserves
Intensified their patrol of aultry
streets to guard the International
settlement and tf French conces
sion. Four were killed and five wounded
by bombs, grenades and bullets. Two
of the dead were Japanese and two
were Chinese. A British colonial
soldier was Injured.
There were flurries of machine
gun fire In outlying districts and
reports of sporadic shooting In In
dustrial Pootung, across the Whang
poo river from Shanghai proper, that
may have meant a new series of at
tacks by Oilnese guerrilla units.
There hod been similar outbreaks
since the Japanese established con
trol of Shanghai and drove the Chi
nese toward Nanking last Novem
ber D.
For the most part, however, out
ward order prevailed here while the
battle front was carried beyond
Nanking, furUier Into the Interior
to the present drive along the
Yangtze river In the Japanese effort
to reach Hankow, IThlna's provis
ional capital.
The Chinese and Japanese armies
now are In a near-deadlock along the
Yangtze about Hukow and Kluktang,
1B0 miles from Hankow and 450
mllea from Shanghai.
How much longer the war may last
till Is a question that one cannot
answer.
Tilers have been numerous peace
feelers since efforts toward mediation
were attributed last fall to the Ger
man ambassador, Oskar Trautmann
since recalled.
Behind-the-scenes efforts still are
being made, but thus far all havs
failed because neither the Chinese
nor Japanese hsve sustained over
whelming vlctqry or disastrous d'
feat, and both atlll are determined
to prolong the struggle rather man
quit with a loss of face.
ROSS EXPECTS RATES
TO GO DOWN, NOT UP
POHTloAND, July 7. OP) The
Institute of Northwest Affairs heard
J. D. Ross, Bonneville dam admin
istrator, assert yesterday that "I don't
ever expect the rates at Bonneville
ever to go up, but X do expect them
to" go down."
Rosa said public and private con
cerns "get the same treatment" In
setting of rates.
The United States' consumption of j
power doubled In the last five and a
half years, he said.
"When you consider this you can
understand why I have recommended
that construction of Umatilla dam be
started Immediately," the adminis
trator added.

HOLLYWOOD. Maud Adams,
In life as legendary a figure of the
theater as Bernhardt and Duse In
death, will be making her first
screen appearance this year, but
behind It will He years of interest
In films as a dramatic medium.
The slim girl who Is still 'Teter
Pan" In the eyes of an older gen
eration Is now a matronly woman of
. She 1s alert and Interested In
the "new" and ready to undertake
personal role In the art that
yet unknown when she was
born.
For years Hollywood has offered
her screen opportunities, but Pro
ducer David O. Selznlck was the
first to get her signature on a con
tract. Considering that Miss Adams
was the elusive Garbo of her era j
a brilliant star before the footlights
but a shadowy figure off stage
all Hollywood looks upon her cap
itulation to films as a triumph.
Not Shy
Whether her work In Hollywood
will affect her status as the the
ater's No. 1 recluse was not deter
mined by her recent screen-testing ,
visit. Workers reported her not tho
least shy, either before screen or
still cameras, and said she was en
thusiastic over her "new adventure."
But of the many requested Inter
views, none materialized. The act
ress, of course, was very busy with
her tests, and left shortly for the
cast.
It was as a technician, a side of
her activities little known to the
thousands who acclaimed her as
the heroine of Barrle's best known
plays, that she first became Inter
ested In films. Retiring completely
from the stage In 1917, two years
after her producer Charles Frohman
died In the sinking of the Lust
tanla, Mies Adams was out of the
public eye until 1931, when she ap
peared briefly in Cleveland In "The
Merchant of Venice."
However, early In her retirement,
at the suggestion of a friend, she
had asked the manager of a theater :
to show her his film projector and I
explain Its workings. Her Interest
turned to the possibilities of color
films. When she learned that there
was no artificial light of sufficient
power to take colored pictures at
the speed necessary for movies, she
took up the study of lighting.
Worked In I.uhoralnry
At tho time she was convalescing
from the Illness that had led to
retirement, and was desperately in
need of some new Interost not too
distant from her own dramatic
field. The next two years she soent
in ociumcciaay s electrical labora
tories, where facilities for experi
ment were arranged for her. With
Dr. Perley Gordon Nutting, uhe
worked on problems of incandescent
lighting, and Dr. Willis Rodnnv
Whitney, of the research laboratory, t
gave aid. Finally a new nml pow- I
erful lamp, forerunner of tho
"lnkica" used on sound stages to
day, was developed. I
Mlsa Adams' next film task was j
In collaboration with Robert J.
Flaherty, the director who made'
"Nanook of the North." They made j
a short film, dealing with pottery, j
that Is now in the Metropolitan
museum as an example of perfect i
film lighting.
The actress, whose homo i em
Long Island, gradually has lessened
her retirement, although she never
returned to Broadway. Work In lit
tle tneatcrs, on the air. and as di
rector of drama at Stephens college
In Missouri brought her occasion
ally into the headlines.
But as she prepares for Hollywood
the spotlight falls on her own
declaration, written 10 veara airo:
"Life Is still full of adventum.
There Is something exciting in
challenging the yeara to come."
Ana in challenging Hollywood too.
she might add now.

VALUE STRESSED
IN KIWANIS TALK
Talus of the Oregon national guard
to communities In which units are
maintained was emphasized In a talk
given at yesterday's luncheon-meeting
of the Klwanls club In the Hotel
Medford by Capt. Carl y. Tengwald,
commanding officer of Company A
186th Infantry.
With Ashland's unit, the national
guard here la worth about 920,000 In
actual cash expenditures at home,
Capt. Tengwald said, this sum In
cluding pay fo rthe guardsmen and
maintenance of the armory. In the
past three months $500 has been
spent here on maintenance of the
armory, he stated.
Expenditure of funds, however. Is
only a necessary attndant of nation
al guard activity, Capt. Tengwald
pointed out. The Oregon national
guard, he stressed, has a two-fold
primary function: (1) In times of
peace It Is a force that may be called
upon for the suppression of civic dis
orders and for aid and assistance In
the event of local disasters; (3) In
times of war It constitutes a well
trained, disciplined and equipped
force capable of rapid mobilization
and Immediate service as a first-line
organization,
Medford'i two units, company A
and headquarters company, are now
at peak efficiency. Capt. Tengwald
said. Aim of the commanding officers,
he related, Is to make the two com
panies the outstanding units In the
Oregon national guard.
6a pt. Tengwald related the high
lights of the recent annual encamp
ment of the Oregon national guard
at Camp Clatsp. He praised the pat
riotism of the men In giving up their
livelihood employment for 16 days In
order to serve the state at the en
campment. i
The captain said he regretted that,
after going to camp In the service of
their state and nation, three of the
Medford guardsmen found upon their
return that their jobs had bten giv
en to others. This, he said, was In
contrast to tht conduct of employers
in another Oregon city who not only
held the Jobs for the men going to
camp but paid their wages during
their absence.
