O. con- tinued to loosen in the steel strike as three big independent steel corporations—Republic, Bethlehem and Youngstown Sheet & Tube— reported more than two-thirds of their idle mill hands had returned to work. This covered plants in Ohio and Pennsylvania. Inland, the fdurth of the steel independents, announced that it was operating with its nor- mal force of 13,000 in Indiana since it and the Steel Workers’ Organiz- ing Committee signed a compact with the state labor commission. Steel production in the Youngstown, Ohio, area, one of the principal scenes of strike violence, climbed to 76 per cent of capacity, 3 per centage points above the operating figure before the start of the strike. ene Strike Riot Kills Two NE striker and one policeman were killed and twenty men were injured at an aluminum plant in Alcoa, Tenn., when rioting broke out as 3,000 strikers started a back- to-work movement. The plant, be- longing to the Aluminum Company of America, had been closed since May 18, when the strike was called by the Aluminum Workers of Amer- ica, an affiliate of the American Fed- eration of Labor. Difference in wages paid at Alcoa and at the com- pany’'s plant in New Kensington, Pa., was the issue in the strike. State troops were on hand, Adjt.-Gen. R. O. Smith, in charge, to protect rights, and no martial law had been declared. mn Lewis Scans the Sea OHN L.

M. LOGAN, Dem- 7 ocrat, of Kentucky, presented the ““compromise’’ version of the Pres- ident's Supreme court bill to the senate, apparently with the blessings of Majority Leader Joseph T. Robinson and the chief execu- tive. In form an amendment to and substitute for the old Ashurst administra tion bill, the new draft authorizes ap- pointment of new justice to the . court each year for Sen.Robinson every justice remaining on the court after reaching the age of seventy- five years. Under its provisicns the President would be permitted to name one new justice this year (be- sides filling the vacancy left by the retirement of Justice Willis Van Devanter) and assure him of at least one new appointment to the court in each remaining year of his present term of office. All of the ap- pointments would hinge on the de- cision of justices seventy-five or older on retirement, The opposition immediately charged that the new bill was as offensive as the old one. Sen. Burton K. Wheeler, Democrat, Montana, said: “The compromise is not going to get through. The new bill is just as objectionable as the old, because it seeks to pack the Supreme court just like the original bill did.” Sen. Edward R. Burke, Democrat, Neb- raska, said the 43 senators would vole against any kind of measure that would increase the Supreme court. Some of the other provisions of the new bill were: Authority for 20 additional ap- pointments to lower courts in the event that judges over seventy fail to retire. The old bill would have permitted 50 new appointments altogether. Speedy intervention by the gov- ernment in cases involving consti- tutionality of federal laws, and speedy appeal to the Supreme court. on Rebels Fall from Madrid SPANISH rebel forces which took \J Bilbao after the city’s first suc- cessful siege are still finding Madrid a tough nut to crack. In a two-day battle the loyalist forces broke through the siege lines about the city, captured the villages of Villa- neuva de la Canada and Brunette, and threatened to cut the besieging rebels off from their main forces. So nearly successful was the at- tempt to rout the rebel forces that the latter were forced to admit new troops might have to be withdrawn Amelia: Lost in the Pacific. from other fronts, delaying tempo- rarily the drive on Santander, next rebel objective on the Biscayan coast. Meanwhile, the fall of Bilbao was expected to add 150,000 refugees to the constant stream pouring into loyalist Valencia. Although some of the refugees remained in France, where they were first taken, the vast majority preferred to go to Catalo- nia, where the government takes care of them at its own expense, Nearly 1,500,000 have arrived in Va- lencia since the start of the war and 300,000 have remained there. oe Bingham's 4th of July OBERT WORTH BINGHAM, United States ambassador to became the third promi- nent American to bring down the speech before the American tator countries to join Britain in an armament race. Mayor LaGuardia of New York and Cardinal Munde- lein of Chicago had been other re- cent Nazi targets. The ambassador was quoted as saying: ‘There must be some (of the dictatorships) who realize that they have imposed upon the British commonwealth and the United States an armaments race. “We did everything in our power to avert it, but it is a race, and the British and ourselves must inevita- bly win. I admit the strongest ar- guments that can be made for dic- od of preparing for war. But I am sure that democracies provide a better way to finish a war.” The Nazis charged that the am- taly with his “arrogance and ig- Voelkischer Beobachter, newspaper, added: there is any talk of defense, then we should speak of defense against of the defenders of western wns ons navy, with attendant airplanes; two ships of the Japanese navy, and a British freighter scoured the in an effort to find and rescue Amelia Earhart Putnam, America’s No. 1 woman flyer, and her navi- gator, Fred Noonan. The pair had been forced down before complet- ing the 2,570-mile hop from New Guinea to Howland island, a “leg” of their ‘round-the-world flight. Signals received from the hapless flyers were so weak that it was impossible to tell whether they were afloat at sea or marooned on some tiny island, and as the days passed it became doubtful that many of the radio messages which served as clues for the searchers were from the two at all. Storms over the area of the sea in which they were believed lost hampered searchers and minimized possibili- ties of a rescue. So alarmed was the world at the loss of Amelia and her companion, the United States even sent out the giant aircraft carrier Lexington with 98 planes aboard, which, it was said, could explore an area of 36,000 square miles in five or six hours.

Triple Split for Palestine ALESTINE would be split into three parts and British man- date over the whole country ended, according to suggestions made by the royal commission on Palestine and delivered to the British govern ment. The commission was formed a year ago to find some way of put- ting an end to Arab-Jewish riots. Under the new plan, about two- thirds of Palestine would be con- verted into an Arab state and about one-third into a Jewish state. A small territory, including the holy cities of Jerusalem, Bethlehem and Nazareth, and a corridor to the sea, would be given to Great Brit ain as a permanent mandate.
