t. R.'S ADVISERS AGAIN
PROPOSE CABINET PURGE
URGE OUSTING CUMMINGS,
ROPER. SWANSON, WOODRING
NEED FOR COALITION OF
LIBERTY BOIIY STRESSED
ROOSEVELT DISTASTE FOR
FIRING BLOCKS MOVE
WASHINGTON. Aug. 3. One of the
perennial moves to clean out the
cabinet la now on foot. Every election
year, the president's friends and ad
visers of all shades of opinion urge
him to hurl the Incompetents, misfits
and hacks from their high seats. This
year la no exception. Indeed, the
whole business Is distinctly repeti
tious. The necks being measured for the
noose wear the usual labels Roper,
Oummlngs, Woodrlng and Swanson.
And, as usual, the chances are that
Roper, Cummlngs. Woodrlng and
Swanson will continue to enjoy the
pay, prequlsltes and pomp of their
posts. This year's lynching party has
an excellent new argument that a
coalition liberal cabinet must be got
together In preparation for 1940. But
there Is nothing to show that the
president has lost his old distaste for
tellllng his subordinates their time
Is up.
Since the dawn of the New Deal,
' this presidential trait has hctn the
despair of the most Intelligent White
House friends. So far as his official
household Is concerned, the president
Is like a lackadaisical bachelor, who
can't face the strain of firing his
cook even though she Is a natural
successor to Lucrezla Borgia.
To be aure, there Is a good chance
that Attorney General Homer S. Oum
mlngs may resign of his own volition.
He has begun to talk of It again: has
even mentioned It tentatively. It Is
understood, to the president himself.
But the fact that the attorney gen
eral Is thinking of resigning Is no
assurance that he will do so.
Last time, about six months ago,
he was quite positive about It, but
he said that he wanted to "go out on
a high note." The high note then
was playing an Important part In
filling a large number of vacant
Judgeships. Now there Is a vacancy
to be filled on- the supreme court,
and the temptation to wait for this
still "higher note" may well be too
much for him.
Because tho areas In the Justice
department which he still controls
are both Inefficient and political,
Cummlngs' departure Is generally
desired by the men around the

Sunday in the border fighting as In
cluding three officers and 27 soldiers

Tanks, heavy artillery and war
planes were thrown into action this
morning by the Russians, the war
office announced, to clear thesway
for Infantry attacks from the north
and south against the Changkufeng
hill region.
The battle was the latest episode
In a week-end of fighting for the
area Russia claims to be in Siberia
and Japan holds to be In Manchou
kuo. "Wo consider the situation excep
tionally serious," the communique
said.
The Russian forces opened the of
fensive at 9 a.m. (6 p.m.. Monday,
PST) with an artillery bombardment
against the Changkufeng hills, an
area claimed both by Japanese and
Russians near the Junction . of the
rouKhly. defined . Mancboukuo, Rus

frontiers.
Suddenly from a pall of smoke
screen, eight tanks appeared, fol
lowed by Infantry.
Japanese returned the fire with
anti-tank guns against the troops
advancing from the north.
At the same time, Soviet Infantry
surged from the. south.
Both attacks were repulsed, the
war office said, with heavy losses
among the Soviet attackers after
sanguinary fighting.
The war office assorted that civil
ians were slain In the air raids and
"planes are ready and we must
answer."
"Japan's policy is one of non
aggression, but. .she will not tolerate
Invasion of her territory," said one
member of an official group.
"However, despite fighting In China,
Japan is capable of engaging in a
major conflict with Russia. The"

the empire's best, still is Intact, both

Since then the mercury had shot up

p) Japanese reported today Chi
nese troops along the Yangtze river
had cut the dies above Klukiong
and flooded a huge area of farm land
to slow down the drive against Han
kow, China's provincial capital.
The breach was said to have been
made ten miles above Ktukiang, im
portant river port 135 miles down
river from Hankow and center of bit
ter fighting for weeks.
y Similar strategy waa aucccBsfxil in
halting the Japanese drive westward
along the Lunghal railway when Uie
Chinese cut Yellow river dlkea onrly
In June.
The Japanese then launched their
Yangtze campaign.
Meanwhile, a survey Indicated the
Japanese army was threatened with
loss of effective control of areas cap
tured since the war began July 7.
1937.
Continued resistance by Uie Chi
nese, ambush and surprise offensives
by Chinese communist and irregu
lar armies, the Soviet Russian-Japanese
border tension, and the need for
all Available forces in' pressing the
offensive toward Hankow are the
reasons.
Reports from widespread aroas
show tho Chinese already have re
oocupled many districts, sometimes
without a fight after tactical witii
drawals by the Japanese and fre
quently after the capture of small
garrisons.

OVER 400 KILLED
IN BORDER CRASH
MOSCOW. Aug. 2. (flVThe Soviet
government Instructed lta chargo
d 'affairs to Tokyo today to warn
Japan of "possible terrible conse
quences" of an invasion Into Russian
territory, a consequence of the most
serious frontier fighting since the
beginning In 1031 of a long series of
boundary Incidents.
Foreign military observers had
viewed the current border trouble as
likely to be only another of Indecis
ive disputes when it started July 11,
but the large scale battle over the
week-end Inspired a far more serious
outlook today..
A covlet communique aald more
than 400 Japanese ware killed or
wounded, and 13 Russian soldiers
were killed and 85 wounded.
' Tanks, airplanes and artillery were
utilized (Tokyo dispatches aald 60
soviet plane bombed Japanese posi
tions), and the fighting centered
about Changkufeng hill, on the Sl-
berlan-Manchoukuo-Korean border
area, roughly defined and poorly
mapped.
' Both Russia and Japan claim sov
ereignity over the disputed territory.
The Russian account charged that
Japanese forces Invaded soviet ter
ritory a distance' of two and one-half
mites before being driven back, but
that soviet troops did not pursue
them across the Manchoukuo bor
der. . The- Russians captured ttva artil
lery pieces and 14 machine-guns, and
lost n tank and field piece. One sov
iet plane was brought down, Uio

who parachuted to the ground likely
waa captured. (Japanese listed five
planes shot down, four of them In
