BEATT1E SHANGHAI Japanese troops seizing control of a large area of the international settlement ran into the determined opposition of United States marines today and immediately began contracting their lines.

Hot words passed between marine and Japanese officers, and the Japanese immediately withdrew from that part of the United States defense sector of the international settlement which they had entered, and began giving up part of the adjoining area which they had "strait-jacket so far as prices are concerned" by establishing a par mm 4'', wilt I 'r strait-jacket.

The Chinese threw a hand grenade at the parading Japanese, paid for it with his life a few seconds later, but touched off occurrences that for a time threatened to have a most serious result. Japanese troops immediately seized complete control of the area in which the incident occurred an area defended by White Russian volunteers of the Shanghai defense corps.

They aimed pistols nt U. S. marines and British soldiers, pushed foreigners about with rifle butts, set up machine guns. Methodically they extended this seized area until it had passed far enough up Bubbling Well road to enter the U. marine defense area.

E. i New Bill to Oppose Administrative Board WASHINGTON President William Green of the American Federation of Labor, announced today after a meeting with his executive council that the federation would submit a new wages and hours bill for congressional nsideration "probably tomorrow." Green's announcement was made as house wages-hours bill advocates prepared for a drive to obtain passage of the bill which was deadlocked in the house rules committee until it was forced out by petition yesterday. Green said the federation measure was being drafted now and that it would recommend flat maximum hours and minimum wages without an administrative board to fix them. He said that power to adminis ter the standards would be vested in the justice department. He said he believed the mini mum wage probably would range between 30 and 45 cents an hour, He said the question of differentials in industries would be con sidered by the council this afternoon.

He said he did not know what congressman would be called upon to introduce the meas Mary T. Norton, N. chair man of the house labor committee; called a meeting of her committee for Monday. It was her petition that finally obtained enough sig natures to bring the bill out of the house rules committee where it had been since last session. Strongly backed by the administration, it is the No.

2 requirement of President Roosevelt's program for the current special session. The labor committee will ratify its informal decision to substitute a single administrator of labor etandards, who would be an official of the labor department, for a five-man board to regulate hours anc wages as now provided in the bill passed by the senate. Presumably the committee will also discuss any recommendations made by the American Federation of Labor. A. F.

of L. President William Green objected strenuously to the five-man, independent board. He said the federation's experience with the national labor relations board, which it accuses of partiality toward the C. I. led it to oppose this type of administration.

Opponents of the bill said their plans to amend it were not yet definite. Brooder House and Garage Near West Lafayette Destroyed Fire originating from an overheated coal stove and electric heaters destroyed a brooder house and a frame garage on the farm property of Sidney Broome, juit west of West Lafayette, at 8:45 this morning. Total loss was estimated at $1,000, which was partly covered by insurance. Flames were enveloping the brooder house when Mrs. Lovia Arnold, housekeeper at the Broome home, discovered the blaze.

She called both the West Lafayette and Coshocton fire departments and trucks from both departments were sent to fight the The West Lafayette firemen arrived on the scene first, but the flames were beyond control. Quartered in the brooder house were 500 chicks, 50 ducklings and two dogs, which were burned to death. The fire spread to the djoin-ing garage and threatened the frame two-story residence, which was scorched. The firemen managed to save the residence by throwing water from a 500-gal-1 tank truck, owned by the Muskingum Valley Supply and Asphalt onto the building. The tank truck is being used in resurfacing of the West Lafayette-Coshocton road.

In HANKOW, China-Gencralissi mo Chiang Kai-Shek and Dr. Oscar Trautmann, German ambassador to China, are discussing possible terms for ending the Chinese-Japanese war, sources close to the German embassy asserted today. Conversations between the Chinese dictator and the German envoy are proceeding at Kuling, the generalissimo's home near Nanking, the German sources said.

Trautmann was reported to be attempting to convince Chiang Kai-Shek to agree to Japanese peace conditions, including: 1. A semi-autonomous North China with a Chinese administration and Japanese advisers. 2. Large Japanese concession in Shanghai. 3.

Revision of customs tariffs. Authoritative sources here, the temporary Chinese capital, explained that these demands obviously were incomplete since they contained no reference to Chinese military establishments or the political composition of the Chinese government. It was said that an agreement probably would require that China join the German-Italian-Japanese anti-communist agreement. Reports that Japan would agree to withdraw her troops from China in exchange for China's adherence to the anti-communist agreement generally were ridiculed. Diplomatic sources agreed that efforts to settle the conflict rest with Generalissimo Chiang.

He has declared thus far that he is firmly determined to continue the war despite the urgings of Chinese conciliatory groups, including his foreign minister, Wang Ching Wei. church in charge of Rev.

O. to date. Green will renew his personal conferences with Lewis at 8 o'clock tonight. It was indicated that then he may have some tentative allocation of jurisdiction lines to offer.

"It is a distinct punishment to withhold soil conservation payments fron those who fail to comply." The house resumed reading of its 86-page bill today after an en tire day had disposed of only part of its soil conservation title.

Lead ers' plans were upset considerably by a close victory of a dairy states bloc which succeeded in forcing inclusion in the bill of an amendment to protect the dairy industry against undue expansion. The dairy amendment, offered by Rep. Gerald J. Boileau, would withhold soil conservation benefits from grasses and legumes grown for livestock feeding.

Wallace in which sections of the measure were attacked. Senator James P. Pope, co-author of the bill, said the secretary's proposals for a larger carry-over supply of wheat was provided in the original measure, but was reduced in committee. Southern senators declared that they would oppose Wallace's suggestion to increase the supply of cotton to recapture export markets. Surpluses would drive the market down to the "starvation point," they contended.

Gov.

Davey, in an open letter to Senate Majority Floor Leader Keith Lawrence, today proposed an amendment to the unemployment insurance law in order to quiet fears of those who believe payment of benefits in 1938 instead of 1939 might adversely affect features of the law.

He proposed a "simple amendment" calling for the credit rating to begin in 1939. Senator Lawrence introduced the governor's proposed amendment providing that maximum payments of $15 a week for 16 weeks to the unemployed begin a year earlier than originally scheduled because of the present business recession.
