U. S. Sailors Reported
In Tsingtao Clash
With Japan's Police
Several Officers Injured;
Nipponese Authorities
Take Serious View
By the Associated Press.
SHANGHAI, July 22.—A clash
between United States sailors and
Japanese policemen at Tsingtao was
reported today by Domei, Japanese
official news agency, with the as
sertion that Japanese authorities
took a serious view of the incident.
Several of the policemen were in
jured.
Domei said the trouble started
when two sailors left a cafe with
out paying their bill, then became
Involved in a fist fight with the
owner and Chinese bystanders. Four
Japanese policemen who attempted
to arrest the sailors were attacked
by a United States patrol, the news
agency said.
Meanwhile, the foreign consular
body planned to consider Thursday
b request of the Municipal Council
for help in checking "a terrible wave
of political crime" which is “ruining
Shanghai's reputation throughout
the world.”
Recent Attacks Cited.
W. J. Keswick. British chairman
of the council, signed the appeal
Saturday, citing recent terroristic
pttacks on Chinese and United
States newspapermen.
A Japanese Embassy spokesman
today attributed various acts of ter
rorism here to a "lack of realistic
recognition of the situation in
Shanghai."
The Japanese Army and the new
Japanese-sponsored government at
Nanking are exercising real power
in Shanghai, he declared, and not
the Chungking regime of Chinese
Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek.
The spokesman criticized Keswick
for "improper procedure" in realeas
ing his appeal to the press before
It reached all the consuls concerned.
The Japanese announced the
withdrawal this morning of their
land forces operating in the Chen
hai area, gateway to Ningpo, of
Shanghai, where action was launch
ed last week to seal the coast.
They asserted the whole area had
been cleared to Chinese forces and
fill Chinese fortifications had been
destroyed. It was added that naval
patrols would maintain the blockade
of this part of the coast.
Konoye's Streamlined
Government Installed
TOKIO. July 22 oPi— Premier
Prince Fumimaro Konoye's stream
lined cabinet wras installed tonight
after acceptances by three ministers
who had delayed answering invita
tions to join.
The new ministry contains the
premier and 11 others in place of
the usual 13.
The cabinet line-up follows:
Premier—Prince Fumimaro Ko
tioye.

Minister without portfolio and
planning board head—Naoki Ho
shino.
Predictions Confirmed.
Kobayashi, Ishiguro and Murata
were the designated ministers whose

tually directing Japan's policies,
while the others carried on routine
duties.
Murata and Kobayashi are well
known as businessmen, arid Kawada

hai are investigating a reported
attack on Hallett Abend. Shanghai

Saturday midnight on the eve of
his planned removal to other
quarters. Domei reported.
It said there was no mention of
injuries in the report to officials
here.

causes, he said.

of other American countries, that
there shall not be a disorganized
or cutthroat market in those com
modities which we all export.”
Aim to Limit Fluctuations.
Apparently heeding criticism that
a controlled Western Hemisphere
trade program would amount in the
end to the same thing as the Ger
man totalitarian sort of control,
which the United States is seeking
to avoid, the President said:
“No sensible person would advo
cate an attempt to prevent the nor
mal exchange of commodities be
tween other continents and the
Americas, but what can and should
be done is to prevent excessive
fluctuations caused by distressed
selling resulting from temporary
interruption in the flow of trade,
or the fact that there has not yet
been established a system of free
exchange.
‘Unless exporting countries are
able to assist their nationals, they
will be forced to bargain as best
they can.”
Although he indicated that he
thought the war and the German
triumph might be shortlived, the
President made it plain in his
message what extraordinary factors
in world commerce prompted him to
make today’s request.
"Tne course of the war, the re
sultant blockades and counter block
ades, and the inevitable disorgani
zation, is preventing the flow of the
surplus products to their normal
markets.
Distress May Continue.
“Necessarily this has caused dis
tress in various parts of the New
World, and will continue to cause
distress until foreign trade can be
resumed on a normal basis, and a
seller of these surpluses is in a
position to protect himself .in dispos
ing of his products.
“Until liberal commercial policies
are restored and fair trading on a
commercial plane is reopened, dis
tress may be continued.”
Mr. Roosevelt said that in view
of these conditions “the directors of
the bank should have a free hand
as to the purposes for which loans
are authorized and the terms and
conditions upon which they are
made.”
The message was empty of de
tailed analysis of the technique by
which the American surplus prob
lem might be handled. That ques
tion apparently is to be settled by
the administration’s principal for
eign trade, foreign policy and South
American expert advisers.
Jones to Aid Request.
Jesse Jones, Federal loan admin
istrator, in whose province the Ex
port-Import Bank lies, will appear
soon before the House and Senate
Banking Committees to explain in
larger terms the President’s aim
and to speed the request into law,
Acting: Secretary of State Welles
told his press conference today.
Mr. Welles said he considered the
President's message another indica
tion of the very earnest desire of
this Government to co-operate with
the other republics in this time of
stress in the most practical way pos
sible. He said the move was very
significant and very practical.
As a corollary step toward ce
menting the inter-American rela
tionship, it W'as indicated that action
is contemplated soon for United
States’ ratification of the inter
American Bank Convention, which
would oil the fiscal machinery of
the western hemisphere.
Half a billion dollars would be al
most enough money to purchase
the whole foreign trade of the 20
Latin American republics as re
ported in the last normal year, 1938.
Two of the principal present re
strictions on the bank’s operation
limit the aggregate outstanding
amount of loans to any one foreign
country to $20,000,000, and a pro
viso that the bank shall not make
loans to any government in default
to the United States as of April
13, 1934 (the date of the enactment
of the Johnson resolution), or for
the purchase of any articles, except
aircraft exclusively for commercial
purposes, listed as arms, ammuni
tions or implements of war by the
President under the Neutrality Act.

Ruhland Urges
Light Clothing
And Light Meals
Mindful of the excessive heat of
the past two days, Health Officer
George C. Ruhland today renewed
his warnings to Washingtonians to
curb their appetites and be careful
of the clothes they wear.
Pointing out that dark colors
draw the heat. Dr. Ruhland urged
wearing lightweight, ligt-colored
clothing. He warned against con
sumption of too much meat, fats
and sweets as heat-producing foods.
The health officer distinguished
between sunstroke and heat ex
haustion, because of the fact that
treatments are different. Sun
stroke, he said, produces high tem
perature, flushed face and labored
breathing and the patient should
be moved to a cool place, clothing
loosened and cold water liberally
applied. Heat exhaustion, on the
other hand, he said, is more gradual
and is heralded by prolonged nausea,
cold perspiration and weak pulse.
I He said this calls for rest and stim
ulants. such as coffee or spirits of
ammonia.

others received hospital treatment
after being overcome.
The thousands from Washington
and Baltimore who sought relief
from the heat in Maryland resort
areas created one of the worst
traffic jams Maryland police could
remember.
Cars were jammed so tight on the
roads in the neighborhood of An
napolis at times that the police
were unable to get through to cor
rect the situation. Police reported
than many drivers spent hours
packed in lines of traffic.
The heat wave gripped almost
the entire country and forecasters
figured it would continue until the
middle of the week. The death toll
in the Nation attributable to the
heat was figured at around 115.
Baltimore was even hotter than
Washington yesterday—with a read
ing there of 100 degrees.
The mercury stayed in the 90s
yesterday from 11 a.m. until 6 p.m.,
then hung around in the 80s until i
shortly after 4 a.m. The low for
the night was 78 degrees, reached
at 5:15 a.m.
But that didn't last for long and !
the temperature rose with the sun.
It reached 82 at 8 a.m. and 85 at
9 a.m. At 10 a.m. it was 89.
All these readings were in the
shade—the Weather Bureau guess
ing that temperatures in the sun
ran from 10 to 15 degrees higher.
The humidity ranged from 90 per
cent when the temperature was low
to 66 per cent at 9 a.m., the Weather
Bureau said.
The man who died from the heat
was Garnett Koiner, 72, who col
lapsed near his fruit stand in Mont
rose, Montgomery County, Md.
Monument Guard Collapses.
The heat victims included Gus R.
Panknen, 53, a Washington Monu
ment guard, who was treated at
Emergency Hospital after collapsing
in front of the Monument yesterday.
He left the hospital a short time
later, but remained at home today.
Melvin Dent of Hyattsville, Md.,
was treated at Casualty Hospital yes
terday after being overcome on the
golf course at Beaver Dam Country
Club. He was released after treat
ment.
At Georgetown Hospital, Leroy
Jewell, 39, of Cumberland, Md„ re
ceived treatment for heat prostra
tion. His condition was not serious.
Virgil S. Stegall, 34, of 310 Hamil

a boat accident. He suffered a deep
cut on his arm from the fly wheel
of the outboard motor on the boat

Packard Factory Guarded
After Threat to Blow It Up
B> the Associated Press.
DETROIT, July 22.—Police scout
cars patroled the vicinity of the
Packard Motor Car Co. plant yes
terday and an extra guard was es
tablished following an anonymous
threat to blow up the building.
No arrests were made, nor was
any suspicious evidence reported.
Police said a crank might have been
responsible for the threat.*
The National Defense Council Is
negotiating a contract with Packard
to build airplane engines for Great
Britain and the United States.
Detective Lt. Adam Shriner said
C. E. Anderson, New York service
manager for Packard, had informed
police headquarters here an anony
mous threat to blow up the Detroit
plant had been made to him by
telephone.
Police also searched the Packard
property in New York, but found
nothing suspicious.

Bandits’ Efficiency
Appears Impaired
By Torrid Weather
Robber Flees When
Storekeeper Gives Him
Heated Retort
The hot weather did not atop
activities of holdup men and thieves
over the week end. but it did seem
to impair their efficiency.
There was the armed man who
walked into Piver’s store at 3329
Fourteenth street N.W. late yes
terday, for example. He was frus
trated when Mr. Piver ignored or
ders to open the cash register.
"Open it yourself!" snapped Mr.
Piver.
This retort caused the bandit to
whirl and run down Fourteenth
street, with Mr. Piver and several
others in pursuit. The man out
distanced the chasers, however, and
escaped down Park road.
A young purse-snatcher, who
grabbed pocketbooks near Dupont
Circle from Miss Marjorie Pea and
Miss Frances Fielder, both of 1709
N street NW, was disconcerted by
Miss Fielder’s speedy chase after
him and dropped her purse. He got
away with Miss Pea’s pocketbook,
containing $5.
Breaking in a back window, a safe
cracker entered Ewarts Cafeteria,
522 Thirteenth street N.W., last night
and drilled the safe open. The
-burglar was unable to solve a special
drawer, in which most of the cash
was deposited. A cigarette vending
machine was smashed open and an
unknown amount of cash was taken.
Burglars were more successful in
other quarters, obtaining money and
property valued at about $200 at the
residence of Joseph Dent. 1121
Twenty-fourth street N.W., and at
i the apartment of Monroe Naufal in
! the 2000 block of Connecticut avenue
j NW. Mrs. Minnie Steine, pro
prietor of a store at 2403 Benning
road N.E., reported that thieves
entered through a rear door last
night and stole about $90 in cash and
a quantity of cigarettes.
