S. RESTRICTION OF ARMSSHIPPING Ambassador Wang Presents Formal Objections to Secretary Hull. ROOSEVELT’S ACTION IS HELD AID TO JAPAN Nanking's Reliance Upon Imports of War Materials Is Cited to State Department. BACKGROUND— Throughout development of Sino Japanese crisis President Roosevelt has repeated intention to keep the United States out of the Far East ern conflict. Invocation of neu trally act carefully avoided, but Mr. Roosevelt recently forbade Amer ican Government-owned merchant vessels to carry arms to Far East, and warned private vessels that they continued to do so at their own arisk. S. S. Wichita, carrying 19 bombing planes to China, stopped at San Pedro yesterday to disgorge its war cargo. Other Sino-Japanese war news to be found and pages A-4 and. A-5. By the Associated Press. Chinese Ambassador C. T. Wang protested formally to Secretary Hull today against President Roosevelt's partial embargo of arms shipments to the Pay Eastern war zone. The envoy expressed to the Secretary of State on behalf of his government Its disappointment over the action which, Chinese officials claim, benefits Japan indirectly and inflicts direct damage on China. The presidential order forbids mer chant ships owned by the Government to transport arms, munitions and im plements of war to either China or Japan because of the undeclared war now raging between them. Private Ships Warned^ The presidential order also warned all other American merchant ships that they proceed at their own risk if they attempt to transport such cargoes to the Par East. China’s objection is based on the fact that that government must rely on foreign imports for most of its war materials, while Japan is able quantities. In announcing at his press confer ence that he had received Ambassa dor Wang’s protest, Hull said he had replied to the envoy that the Presi dent’s action is a Government order which speaks for itself. Wang left the State Department after a half-hour conference with the Secretary obviously laboring under a nervous strain. Dissatisfaction Widespread. A Chinese Embassy spokesman re ported a communication from Nanking said there was “widespread dissatis t faction and indignation over this in direct help to Japan and direct dam age to China." The Embassy spokesman, referring to the unloading of 19 planes from the Wichita yesterday, charged the ship is now going to Japan with a cargo of scrap iron. NANKING REACTION BITTER. Arms Ban “Not Impartiality,” Says Foreign Office Spokesman. NANKING, September 17 UP).—The Chinese government was disclosed to day to have protested officially to the United States against the Government embargo on arms to the Orient, charg ing it was unfair treatment of China. Dr. C. T. Wang, the Chinese Ambas sador to Washington expressed the bitter reaction of the Chinese govern ment to the United States State De partment. (In Tokio a foreign office spokes man said of the partial arms em bargo: “The Roosevelt munitions embargo is interpreted here as an effort by the United States Gov ernment to avoid entanglement in the Par Eastern situation, and it is generally supposed here it will ren der invocation of the neutrality act unnecessary.”) The Washington decision, forbidding Government-owned merchantmen from transporting war supplies to either Ja pan or China was characterized by the Nanking foreign office spokesman as “certainly not Impartiality.” Full Embargo Fairer, “It may be neutrality." he added, “but a complete embargo would at least be fairer, for it would halt all shipments to either China or Japan.” Private vessels, the spokesman said, ran no risk in proceeding to Japan, but a heavy risk in endeavoring to run the Japanese blockade of the China Coast. Italy is considered here as the only European nation that has made suf ficient progress in the rearmament race to send airplanes direct from the assembly line to China. Hull 14-Point Peace Program “Too Idealistic” for Practical Result, Portuguese Criticize Note States Approval of Most of Princi pies, but Holds Hope of Important Consequences Is Mistake. BACKGROUND— Secretary of State Hull on July IS made a 14-point program in tended to aid in the preservation of world peace. Responses were re ceivedi from 59 nations pleding support or indicating agreement. Hull has filed his program with the League of Nations. The League, however, has not yet acted. Hull has also referred to his 14 points in com munications dealing with the Sino-Japanese crisis. By the Associated Press. Portugal introduced a pessimistic note today into the general worlt acclaim for Secretary Hull's peace program by characterizing it as too idealistic It presented this view formally to the American Minister at Lisbon in i j.bi'U-word philosophical analysis so erudite in form, and yet so biting in its implications, that the State Department officials were left gasping. “The nations (of the world) are attached to false ideas and lave taken the habit of in trusting the solution of grave external prob lems to vague formulae and Inconsistent com binations,” said .he little republic’s memo randum. “To acknowledge by means of an impartial examination the inanity of the efforts made in that direction appears to this government to be the first step and the indispensable prepara tion of the ground for any constructive work." 59 Nations Replied. Hull’s 14-point program, made public on July 16, evoked from 59 nations expressions ranging from mild agreement to support in ex travagant terms. As is so often the effect of its outspoken criticism, Portugal explained it was in accord with most of Hull’s principles and practiced them in the conduct of its own affairs. But it added: i ^_ “The repeated affirmation, esrfeciallv I on the part of the great powers, of the principles advocated by the Sec retary of State, the intellectual or sen timental adhesion'of many of the said principles, their inclusion in many treaties between nations or in a docu ment of greater scope aiming at de fining rules of life common to all states, will have, we believe, the effect of certain moral pressure, but will pro duce rather limited practical action, i We would be mistaken if we were to ' expect important results therefrom. Disarming No War Cure. "If there exists a danger or preoc cupation of war, it is useless to at tempt to have the states disarm or reduce the armaments; if there exist grave injustices in the solution of problems of international affairs and no peaceful method is seen to make them disappear, it is useless to dis suade the victims thereof to cause justice to be respected by force, if c they have it; if the nations, by virtue t of their own excesses or because they are exposed to the mistakes of others, * must defend their economy and their c financial balance, and deem it neoes- j sary to do so by raising tariffs, de- j valuating currency, or prohibiting the entry of workers or foreign goods, they will do so, even though they should * not seek in that policy their true and ultimate interests and even though : they should have taken at one time or another the solemn engagement to * refrain from doing this." * \ < ( .

PEIPING, September 17.—Japanese Army headquarters tonight announced t that Chochow, Chinese advance base t 40 miles southwest of Peiping, had 1 been captured in a steam-roller Japa- f nese offensive along the Peiping- t Hankow Railway. £ The Japanese announced their; c mechanized forces, estimated at 60,000 ; ( men, had gained 12 miles in the last j 24 hours after spectacular crossings I of the Yungting and Chuma Rivers, 1 south and southwest of this city. f Chochow fell before a column that 1 drove into it from the east and then t continued on down the railway to- I ward Paotingfu, the main Chinese base, 80 miles from Peiping. 1 50,000 Reported Cut Off. 1 Japanese officers said the capture 1 j of Chochow' had cut off some 50,000 f Chinese troops along the railway north * | of that walled city.

Text of Senator Borah's ad dress on the Constitution on Page B-6. Against a background of critical ays in politics and government, Presl ant Roosevelt tonight will tell the jnerican people what part he believes ur 150-year-old Constitution should lay .in guiding our destinies in the uture as it has in the past. Paying tribute to the 150th birthday nniversary of the master document •y which the Nation has lived for so jng, the President will speak from he Sylvan Theater on a program rranged by the United States Ses ulcentennial Commission. His ad Iress. to be broadcast 'on a Nation ride radio network, is scheduled to egin at 9:30 p.m. It can be heard ir Vashington over stations WJSV VMAL or WOL. Adding considerably to the anticipa ion manifest in the President's ad Iress was the interest aroused by that f Senator Borah, veteran Idaho Re ublican, appearing last night as guest f Master Masons of the District ir Constitution day program at Con titution Hall. Borah’s words were iroadcast throughout the country Vhether the similarity in the two peeches ends with their Nation-wide eception is a question for which ar nstt’PT i c PQPcrlo onmitAiT Borah Supports Courts. Seldom content with the "conserva ism” of his own party, Borah hrough many years in the Senate las been consistent in his respect or government within the Constitu ion. Last night he applied that con isteney particularly to a repudiation f any efforts to infringe on the in iependence of the Nation’s courts. Opposed, though not an active op positionist on the Senate floor, to the 'resident’s court reorganization pro posal, the Idaho Senator left no doubt ist night as to his attitude toward he initial suggestion off the Chief Ixecutive. “No kind of government has yet een devised * * * which ^offers op portunity and insures liberty to the verage man or woman, which pre erves and protects the rights and privileges of those whom Lincoln ailed the common people, except a overnment of law with independent ribunals of justice,” the Senator leclared. “There is no such thing s security for the masses or protec ion for minority groups * * * (oft iced objectives of the New Deal) * * under any form of government, ave government where the people hrough their representatives make he laws and uncontrolled courts con true them” Cites Method of Change. Referring to approved methods of mending the Constitution, the Sen ior cited the “sacredly obligatory” haracter of this instrument “until hanged by an explicit and authentic .ct of the whole people.” "It is sacred,” he continued, 1 See” CONSTITUTION 7"Page~AVL) SABOT AGE DENIED 'iece of Metal*in Cruiser’s Gears Declared Accidental.

PATROLS WILL FIRE ON ALL ATTACKERS i . ~ British and French Protecting Ships to Act “Immediately.” Italy Sent Copy of Pact. BACKGROUND— Attacks bp “piratical” subma rines on neutral commercial ship ping in Mediterranean led Great Britain and France to summon ' nine-power conference at Npon, Switzerland, to prepare agreement for international policing of sea against mysterious raiders. Result ing agreement provided for Britain and France to patrol Mediterranean as a whole. More than 150 war ships are being concentrated for this purpose. B> the Associated Press. GENEVA, September 17.—The nine powers participating in war against piracy in the Mediterranean, led by France and Britain, signed tonight an elaborated accord providing for crusade against airplanes and war ships as well as attacking submarines. These points were added to the accord signed at Nyon last week: British and French warships on patrol in the Mediterranean are em powered to attack surface warships or aircraft which make piratical attacks against merchant vessels. In the case of air attack, the patrol ships will open fire immediately in an attempt to destroy the aircraft. If the attacks are by surface war vessels, the patrolling ships will “inter vent” and summon additional assis tance if required. -• Publication of the text withheld until tommorrow, because the con ference as a “matter of courtesy” wishes to transmit it to the Italian government. Italy refused to attend the Nyon conference last week, and the Geneva parley today. She likewise has de clined to participate in the patrol, in which she was offered a limited part off her own coasts, unless given equal rating with Britain and France. The League of Nations released a new protest from the Valencia Span ish government against the sinking of Spanish merchantmen in the Med iterranean. The protest included statements from the captain and crew of the Spanish tanker Campeador, relating that two warships, one of them flying the Italian flag, attacked the vessel and disabled her with three projectiles. Neutrality Patrol Killed. LONDON, September 17 (/P).—Britain today ended the unsuccessful non intervention patrol of Spain to make available her full quota of warships for the “more important task” of driv ing pirate attackers from the Medi terranean.

I WISH' SO,TOO! _ Alabaman Disclaims Having Said Colleague Was Not Member of Klan. The fifth of the series of ar ticles by Ray Sprigle, copyrighted by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and the North American Newspaper Alliance, Inc., containing the charges of Justice Black’s affilia tion with the Ku Klux Klan, ap pears on Page A-6. -9 Senator Bankhead of Alabama, for mer senatorial colleague of Hugo L. Black, recently appointed justice of the Supreme Court, now involved in pharges of affiliation with the Ku Klux Klan, today disclaimed having given any assurances that Black was not a member of the hooded riders. Quoted by the Associated Press from his home in Jasper, Ala., Senator Bankhead contended that the most he ever had said was that he had “no personal knowledge” of any connection between Black and the Klan. The Senator also took occasion to deny that he ever had any connection with the secret order himself, a denial that was echoed by Speaker Bank head, brother of the Senator, in angry reply to implications by Representa tive Fish, Republican, of New York that the Speaker and other influential Democratic members of Congress from the South probably would be found to be Klansmen. Wheeler Urges Inquiry. Earlier, Senator Wheeler, Democrat, )f Montana had urged that President Roosevelt name a board of inquiry to iift the accusations against Black. Senator Bankhead hinged his de pials on published reports that Sen ator Bulow, Democrat, of South Da kota was quoting the Alabaman as issuring him that Black was not a -Clansman. “The newspapers have reported that Senator Bulow stated I gave assurance that Senator Black was not a member pf the Klan,” Senator Bankhead said.

The action was the result of a 10 per cent cut in appro priations under the Roosevelt admin istration’s program to drive toward a balanced budget. Next Saturday visitors will be de nied admittance and only Government officials, the local park staff and con tractors engaged in road and other construction, as well as remodeling and other work on the hotels and similar property of the park operators, will gain entrance. Contributing to this closing, described as the first of its kind, is a 15 per cent increase in travel and consequent mounting Summer operating and pro tection costs. “Economy has already required the closing of the park museums, discon tinuance of the naturalist service and the calling in of all road maintenance camps, and makes necessary drastic curtailment on all other maintenance work," the National Park Service said today. -. TO START NOV. IS Chairman Collins Says He Will Keep Post Until D. C. Bill Is Ready. BY JAMES E. CHINN, The House Subcommittee on District Appropriations will start hearings on the 1939 budget estimates November 15, it was announced today by Chair man Collins. At the same time Collins disclosed he had changed his mind about re signing soon as chairman of the sub committee and, in a prepared state ment, said he would continue in that position until the 1939 District appro priation bill is completed. In scheduling budget hearings a month and a half in advance of the convening of Congress, Collins indi cated it is his intention to have the supply bill ready for consideration early in the new session. Indications are the District measure will be the first appropriation bill ready for House aetion. Must Speed up Work. Early subcommittee hearings on the budget will cause both the Commis sioners and the Budget Bureau to speed up final disposition of the 1939 estimates. The Commissioners now are struggling to whip the estimates into shape for Budget Bureau review. Collins said he was ’confident the budget would be ready for considera tion by his subcommittee on Novem ber 15, since he had directed the Budget Bureau, as well as MaJ. Daniel J. Donovan, District auditor and budget officer, to complete it by that time. No comment was forthcoming from Collins on the plans of the Commis sioners to frame a budget calling for appropriations totaling about $50, 000,000, an increase of $4,000,000 over the current appropriation. The Washington Board of Trade already has served notice on the Commis sioners it would oppose a budget in excess of $46,000,000. Chairmanship Vacancy. Collins' statement with respect to his plans to direct the handling of at least one more District appropria tion bill follows: “When I returned to Congress I was very anxious to secure appoint ment as chairman of the War Depart ment Appropriations Subcommittee, for there was a vacancy at that time in that chairmanship. The late Rep -esentative Buchanan of Texas, then chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, wanted me to accept the chairmanship of the District of Colum bia Appropriations Subcommittee and f did so and will continue as chair man of that subcommittee through but this session. 1 “Naturally, if I have the opportunity 1 ,o secure a better assignment, I will : iccept.” --•-— .

BY BLAIR BOLLES, Staff Correspondent of The Star. ANTIETAM BATTLEFIELD, Sep tember 17.—In mellow mood. President Roosevelf seized upon the seventy fifth anniversary of the Civil War battle of Antietam today to hail the four years of his presidency as the fir-et occasion of true national thinking by the citizens of the United States since before 1860. Before 15.000 Civil War veterans, ex slaves and private citizens here to watch a re-enactment of one phase of the Antietam engagement, Mr. Roose velt said: "It Is too soon to define the history of the present generation, but I ven ture the belief that it was not until the World War of 20 years ago that we acted once more as a nation of restored unity.” •i believe also that the past four years marked the first occasion, cer tainly since the War Between the ■ States, and perhaps during the whole 150 years of our Government, that we are not only acting but also think ing in national terms.” 1,200 Guardsmen Take Part At 12.04 p.m. Mr. Roosevelt's motor rolled him and Mrs. Roosevelt on to the Greensward where 75 years ago today the battalions of Gen. Robert E. Lee met the eager young Union sol diers commanded by Gen. George B. McClellan in the bloodiest single day’s combat of the war. Seven hundred Regular soldiers from Port Belvoir, Va., met Mr. Roosevelt at the field and escorted him to the speaker’s stand facing the hillside bleachers packed with the curious. A dull day which began with rain had little effect on the size of the crowd. The President, who was introduced to the throng by Senator Tydings, Democrat, of Maryland hurried back to Washington at 1 p.m., and 1,200 armed National Guardsmen lined up for mock battle in its ‘’Bloody lane" phase. As time for the battle re enactment neared, the sun broke through the heavy clouds. Three hundred District soldiers, un der command of Col. John W. Oeh mann, dressed in barracks caps and . regulation khaki, represented the rebels with 300 Virginians. Their Northern enemies, garbed in blue denim and campaign hats, were 600 Guardsmen from Maryland and Penn sylvania. None of the soldiers looked as natty as the 400 State policemen from Maryland, Pennsylvania, Vir ginia and Delaware guarding the roads leading to the field. The President’s speech was short (See ANTTETAM~Page A^3J BASE BALL GAME OFF Nationals and Browns Idle Today Because of Weather.

I NEW DEAL SCORES SMASHING VICTORY IN NEW YORK VOTE Administration Now Must Decide on La Guardia or Mahoney Support. DEFEAT OF COPELAND BIG BLOW TO TAMMANY Farley's Chances for Governorship Are Seen Enhanced by Pri mary Ballot. tlAUtlUKUUND— Throughout most of the New York mayoralty campaign Senator Copeland, backed by Tammany Hall and entered in both the Democratic and Republican primaries, ham mered at the New Deal and assailed the espousal of Its cause by Ma honey, indorsed by the national administration. Copeland. however, on the eve of the balloting, sought to minimize the Tammany vs. New Deal issue. If La Guardia defeats Mahoney to win re-election he will be first to shatter one-term tradi tion of reform mayors, as none has served more than one term. BY G. GOULD LINCOLN. Roosevelt Democratic leadership la Greater New York won a smashing vic tory over its Tammany opponents in yesterday’s mayoralty primaries. Tam many Hall, for a century the dominat ing factor in New York City’s democ racy, has been pushed aside. The Roosevelt-Parley organization is on top of the heap. , With Jeremiah T. Mahoney, 62-year old former Supreme Court judge, ae the nominee in the Democratic pri mary against Mayor Fiorello La Guardia. who won the Republican nomination and is the "fusion” can didate, the administration will have to decide where to throw its influence in the November election. Farley Aid Expected. An alternative would he to maintain a hands-off policy. It seems incredible, however, that Postmaster General Parley, chairman of the Democratic National Committee, will not come to the aid of Mahoney in the election campaign, as he did in the primary contest. The defeat of Senator Royal S. Copeland, the Tammany choice for tho mayoralty nomination. In both tha Democratic and Republican primaries, narrows the race in the mayoralty campaign to two men. Mahoney and La Guardia. Democratic supporters of Copeland—and his Republican sup porters who dislike La Guardia—and the Senator himself still have the op portunity of entering him as a third candidate. Copeland, however, has indicated he would not be an inde pendent candidate, and Christopher Sullivan, Tammany leader, has said he will support the party nominee. Parley emerges from the contest in the Democratic primary with colors flying high. Those who believe the Postmaster General wishes to be*a candidate for Governor in next year’s election see his chances greatly en hanced. Bitter Battle Expected. The contest between La Guardi* and Mahoney promises to be a bitter battle. Democratic support for the Mayor was inidcated by an extraor dinary large number of ‘write in'* votes cast for the Mayor in the Demo cratic primary. His name was not on the ballot, but more than 50,000 Democrats took the trouble to write (See PRLMARY," Page A-141 DEMOCRATS BEATEN Four Assemblymen in New York Lose to Independent*. ALBANY, N.

NEW YORK, September 17.—The third Intimation of recent months that Col. Charles A. Lindbergh intended so renounce his American cttizenship »,nd become a British subject stirred lew conjecture today on the flyer’s future plans. The latest report came from a pro 'essional source associated with Llnd jergh, and was neither confirmed nor ienied elsewhere. The informant de fined to permit use of his name, but le had an established connection with he hero of the first solo New YOrk ?aris flight. The only comment came from Col. ienry Breckinridge, Lindbergh’s at omey. He said tersely: “The only person who can confirm hat is Col. Lindbergh himself. No >ne else has a right to speak for him hat I know of.” Lindbergh sailed from the United States on a freighter in the 1935 i Christmas season and settled In a country home at Seven Oaks, England. Neither before his sudden departure nor after his arrival in England did he make any public statement on his plans. It was understood that he fled the United States in an effort to ob tain privacy for himself and his fam ily that he believed impossible here. Friends who visited the Lindberghs in England recently returned with word the colonel was not completely happy in his new home, but that he was determined not to return to America unless privacy was assured— and he feared that assurance never would be possible. The second indication that he might be contemplating cutting his last Ue with the United States came last month in a report from Paris that he was negotiating for the pur chase of the Island of Millo, once owned by the late Aristide Briand. French premier. Lindbergh, did not deny the report. A
