3 It appeared certain Wednesday night that Gov. Murphy would issue a call for a special session of the Legislature before the end of this week, and the session probably will convene before another week ends. It Is not improbable that the call will be announced before nightfall Thursday. The purpose of the session would be primarily to make $2,225,000 surplus old-age pension funds available for relief. A secondary purpose would be to enact a tax to raise further relief money.

Starr Gives Ruling Attorney General Raymond W. Starr ruled Wednesday that Theodore I Fry, State treasurer, does not have authority now to transfer pension funds to relief. The Treasurer's power to do so is among the powers suspended pending the November referendum on the welfare reorganization laws, Starr said. From Mackinac Island Gov. Murphy let it be known that he is ready and willing to call a special session to do by legal enactment what the Treasurer may not do.

Later, some hours after this word had come to Lansing by telephone, Starr left the Capitol for Mackinac Island, os City's Parks Crowded as Mercury Hits 90 for Second Day Detroit is promised relief front the heat of the last two days. Weather Bureau officials predicted Wednesday that thundershowers Thursday would bring lower tem perature readings. Wednesday was the second day on which the sun sent the mercury sputtering to the ninety-degree mark. As the temperature reached 90 at 4 p. reports from city bathing beaches indicated that capacity crowds were in sight be fore the day was over.

The mer cury reached 92 degrees on Tuesday. Youth Is Drowned Cameron Bolin, 17 years old, of 1336 Porter was drowned while swimming off the eastern end of Belle Isle in 15 feet cf water. The boy was identified Wednesday night by his father Joseph. Edwin Lundgren, 21. of 1231 Helen heard Bolin's cries and pulled him out of the water.

Police of the Harbormas ter's Division applied artificial respiration and Squad No. 1 of the Fire Department worked with a pulmotor, but the. boy was dead on admittance to Receiving Hospital. Park Are Crowded Belle Isle was crowded from early morning with swimmers and picnickers, according to John C. Ireland, Zoo curator.

Playing fields were occupied only by the most youthful and hardy, the snots in tho shade being in demand by; the weather-wise. When Belle Isle employees reported for work in the morning they found most of the select spots on the grass occupied by slumber- era driven from their hot flats audi homes. The same condition prevailed at River Rouge Park, where the swimming pool had accommodated a record crowd of 4.200 at 4 p. m. The crowd in the evening was expected by attendants to double that number.

Detroit, however, did not suffer alone. In fact, the city was 4 comfortable place compared with, some other sections of the country.

NEW YORK, Aug. 3 (A. Jay Lovestone is the Leon Trotsky of American Communism. Though once the virtual dictator of the party in the United States, he was expelled from It in 1929, at the instigation of Moscow authorities, because he had "become a renegade to the cause of Communism." About the time of the organization of the American Communist Party In 1919. Lovestone was a student at the College of the City of New York.

When the movement, driven underground by the Government, emerged into the open in 1924 as the American Workers Party with a following of 36,000 voters, Lovestone ranked high in its leadership. Upon the death of Charles Ruthenberg, whose ashes now repose in a niche of the Kremlin wall, Lovestone was chosen as party secretary over William Z. Foster, later Communist candidate for president of the United States, Maytag's Plant Is Told to Open Protection of Troops Given by Kraschel DES MOINES, Aug. 3 (U Gov. Nelson G.

Kraschel to night ordered the strikebound Maytag Washing Machine plant at Newton reopened at noon to morrow under protection of mar tial law. At the same time he averted I possible test of Federal versus State authority by agreeing to permit the National Labor Rela tions Board to resume its investigation of the Maytag controversy in the rederal Courthouse at Des Moines tomorrow. His order to close the board hearings in the military district of Iowa shall hereafter be con fined to Jasper County, home of the plant, the Governor decreed. Cut to Co into Effect The plant will be reopened to all but 12 former employees with the understanding that the company put into effect immediately a 10 per cent wage cut. Kraschel said that the union had not immediately accepted his proposal but that he hoped that it would "accept these efforts as a basis for negotiating a contract." It was believed that union officials would submit the proposal to a vote of its members at Newton before noon tomorrow.

The wage cut was ordered May 9. Union employees refused to accept it and began the strike on that date. The employees are members of the United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America, a C.I.O. affiliate. May" Be Raised In '39 Kraschel said the company in view of the 10 per cent cut had agreed to make no further wage adjustments in excess of 5 per cent downward and that a 5 per cent increase would be given employees Jan.

Aug. 4 (Thursday) (A. Russians threw four battalions against Changkufeng and Shachofeng Wednesday night, but were driven back with a loss of 200 men, a Japanese Army communique said today. The Russians advanced in a dense fog, Japanese reported, but their ranks were exposed when Japanese fired thousands of flares into the sky, throwing a ghoulish light over the battle. Examination of their uniforms disclosed the attacking force was composed partly of the 118th Novokievsk Infantry, which is reported to be a unit of the Far Eastern Red Army, the Japanese said.

35 Tanks Captured The Russians abandoned 15 tanks and 25 pieces of light artillery, "advices from the front related. Japanese casualties were not stated. The number of men in the three attacking battalions was not estimated by the Japanese War Office, but it was said that 250 tanks had been concentrated in the area by the Red Army forces. This was believed to be part of the reinforcements which Japanese said Wednesday that Soviet Russia was moving up to the far southeastern corner of Siberia in the disputed border zone facing Japan's Korea and Manchoukuo. Japs Say They're Peaceful Despite the daily encounters, Japanese official quarters Insisted that they did not want a genuine war with Russia.

Russian officials said In Moscow Wednesday that their army's operations were purely defensive, and there were indications they wanted to reach a peaceful settlement. Nevertheless, mass meetings of workers and resolutions passed by Red Army groups indicated that the public was being prepared for a real emergency should the necessity of larger operations arise. Japanese official circles declared that Japan "is fully prepared if necessary" and repeated their stand that the course of the incident, most serious in a long series of bolder clashes, depended upon Russia. War Sentiment Flares Russian newspapers, which for seveial days had printed only the briefest mention of the border fighting, were crowded with reports of patriotic mass meetings, resolutions and letters to the editors from groups and individuals promising loyalty to death in defense of the Soviet frontiers. The army newspaper Red Star carried this banner headline, "We are keeping our dynamite dry." Sailors of Hie Baltic fleet sent a message to Moscow that "the Hcct is ready to deliver a destructive blow to the enemy" and demanded "merciless punishment of the aggressors." Soviet officials repeated their declarations that no Russian troops or planes had crossed the Manchoukuoan or Korean borders end said that Japanese militarists had circulated false reports to the contrary "in order to justify their repeated attacks on Soviet territory."

S. SENATOR BENNETT C. CLARK Senator Clark Gets Spotlight Big Vote Puts Him in Presidential Picture WASHINGTON, Aug. 3 Senator Bennett Champ Clark, of Missouri, was in the front ranks of Democratic presidential possibilities today as the result of the landslide proportion of the vote by which he won renomination in Missouri yesterday. Clark easily outdistanced two out-and-out Roosevelt supporters with the aid of Republican voters who entered the Democratic primary to help out a senator who had declared his independence of the White House.

He will oppose Henry Caulfield. former governor, in the general election. Marked for rurge Senator Clark was one of the first Democrats placed on the White House purge list, but his name was quietly erased when it was found that he was too strongly intrenched to be defeated. President Roosevelt took no part in the primary, but. anti-New Deal forces viewed Clark's landslide victory as an indication that public sentiment is swinging toward the middle of the road.

He got four times the combined vote of his foes. It was no secret In the capital that Clark was out to win by as big a margin as possible and strengthen his position in the 1940 convention. Should the threatened break between the two factions of the party develop, he hopes to be able to win the nomination with the aid of Vice President Garner, James A. Farley and other leaders of the more conservative group. Backed by Colleague Senator Rush Holt, West Virginia Democrat, jumped on the Clark bandwagon today publicly, and other friends of the Missou-rian agreed that he.

will be a leading contender two years hence. Jn addition to political ambitions, personal and sentimental reasons motivate Clark's presidential drive. He is the son of Champ Clark, long a powerful Democratic leader in Congress and Speaker of the House from 1911 to 1919. The elder Clark suffered a heartbreaking defeat in the Democratic national convention of 1912, losing the presidential nomination because he could not muster the requited two-thirds of the delegates, although he had a majority. After a long deadlock, Woodrow Wilson emerged as the nominee, and went on to the White House.

Led Revolt Against Rule The younger Clark entered politics to carry on his father's tradition and in 1936 made the motion which eliminated the two-thirds rule at the national convention.

A IP JayLovestone Directs Union, Defense States Many onU.A.W.

Staff Accused of Being His Associates President Homer Martin's charges of a communistic plot by four suspended vice presidents of the United Automobile Workers backfired Wednesday. They in turn charged that his administration was under the domination of Jay Lovestone, predecessor of Earl Browder as communist secretary in America. "Jay Lovestone Is running the international offices of the U.A.W.," Maurice Sugar, defense counsel, charged. "He directs everything that shall be done everything." Defense Evidence Produced Evidence for Vice Presidents Richard T. Frankcnsteen, Wynd-ham Mortimer, Ed Hall and Walter Wells, which the U.A.W., executive board required to be filed in documentary form to avoid dilatory cross-examination, got in under the wire at 3 p.

m. Wednesday. The evidence consists of a vigorous counterattack upon Martin and upon alleged communistic influences. George F. Addes, ousted secretary-treasurer, joined in the presentment, although technically he is no longer a defendant.

Documents were quoted at great length in support of the charge that Lovestone's counsel was being followed by Martin's administration, with the promise that additional documentary exhibits supplementing this defense would be presented. With Communist League Since he severed his connection with the Communist Party, Lovestone has been associated with a group known as the Independent Communist Labor League, with headquarters in New York. The vice presidents go beyond Martin to accuse many persons active in the international union's personnel of being definitely aligned with the Lovestone group. The accusations list as members of the National Council, highest governing body of the Lovestone group, the following: Francis A. Hensen, administrative assistant to Martin.

William Munger, research director and editor of the United Automobile Worker. Stuart Strachan, organizer and member of the General Motors negotiating committee. George F. Miles, described as confidential personal representative of Lovestone. Eva Stone, director of the Women's Auxiliary.

Tom Klasey, Melvin Center and Ted LaDuke, of Flint. Larry Klein, of Lansing. Lester Washburn, Lansing, executive board member. Glenn Shadduck, of Muskegon. Sidney Jonas, organizer.

Irving Brown, organizer. Art Gold, of Hartford, financial secretary of a local union.

Y. Today NEW YORK, Aug. 3 (A.P.) Douglas Corrigan, the man who proved that East is West, arrives home tomorrow from that trans-Atlantic junket he made in a $900 airplane, and Mr. Corrigan is in a fair way of getting pushed around when he debarks. New York's City Hall, which is in Manhattan, and Brooklyn, which is a borough of the City on Long Island, have been arguing for three days now about which is going to get the firsc crack at receiving the flier when he arrives aboard 'the liner Manhattan.

Corrigan himself, who comes from Long Beach, where things seem to move a little more slowly, is somewhat nonplussed. But E. G. Bern, of American Airlines, quoted the flier as having said late today on the ship-to-shore telephone that a lot of people had arranged things and that as far as he knew he was tickled as follows: Arrival: "Nothing will happen," said Corrigan. That's what he thinks.

Wednesday: Luncheon and dinner in Washington. 7,500 Families May Lose Dole Fund Transfer Denied by Supervisors Welfare relief for 7.500 families in outcounty communities may be cut off after Aug. 15 as a result of the Board of Supervisors' ac tion Wednesday in voting, 73 to 4, not to transfer $741,000 in County Road Commission funds to the County Emergency Relief Commission. James Fitzgerald, president of the County relief commission, and G.

R. Harris, administrator, predicted the crisis and said that the County's funds, including expected from the State, would be exhausted by Aug. 15. The board action was taken after heated debate in which representatives of outcounty committees, including William F. Von Moll, Monguagon Township supervisor and member of the County relief commission, declared that the transfer would be of little use.

The County now owes merchants $400,000 for welfare supplies, and threats to cut off further credit have been received, Harris said. Criticism of Gov. Murphy was voiced in the debate, Councilman Ernest G. Miller, of Dearborn, blaming the County's present welfare crisis on State Administration policies. Mayor Reading and Council President Edward J.

Jeffries, led the fight to have the funds transferred, emphasizing: the emer gency of the situation. Flense Turn to rage 2 Column 8 be waived, and that otherwise she would not have made the trip. Miss Hurst had planned to spend two months visiting relatives in England and giving free lectures on the use of dogs as guides for the blind. Her telegram to the King read: "Making my last appeal to Your Majesty to permit me and my Seeing Eye to enter your country. My dog is my eyes.

1 know you can help me." Meanwhile, she obdurately remained aboard her ship, docked in East London, refusing to land without her dog, declining an offer of a British dog- guide, and turning down the offer of a one-eyed man to have his good eye transplanted to her by surgery. The Ministry of Agriculture. Government arm which refused to grant an entry permit to Hurst dr.g. issued a tonight stating "regretfully" that it was impossible to waive the usual berg faction. During Lovestone's administra tion, party headquarters were transferred from Chicago to New ork, over the objections of the Fosterites, and the intraparty bickering continued.

The quarrel reached its zenith in the March, 1929, convention. Lovestone held every one of the convention votes except one toster s. Then, out of a clear sky, the Moscow lightning struck. A cablegram from the Comintern ordered "the majority to be made a minority" and to vote General Secretary Lovestone out of power. The delegates compromised and replaced the secretary with a three-man secretariat.

There followed what party circles called "the race to Moscow." Lovestone and several others were called before the Comintern. There Lovestone and others were charged with various crimes against the party, but he and his associates, it was charged, defied the Comintern. A cablegram which he was said to have sent from Moscow to his friends telling them to aieze the party machinery was made public by the control committee here. Accused of Wrecking Then, when he left Moscow "without permission," I-ovestone was deposed by the Central Committee and was subsequently charged with campaigning tu wreck the party. Since that, time Lovestone has devoted himself to the organization of the Communist Labor League and to publishing the radical newspaper, "Workers' Age." He has also joined with Trotsky In attacking the controlling group of the Communist Party as Stalinists.

Left-wingers, however, do not refer to Lovestone as a Trots-kyite, pointing out that he is an anti-Stalin Communist in his own right. At the time of their expulsion from the Communist Party, Love-stoneites maintained that American workers were not ready for revolution and that the party's main objective should be toward spreading persuasive propaganda rather than calling for the overthrow of capitalism. Because this attitude, Lovestone has been called the extreme right-wing and irotsky the extreme left-winger, but they are jointly abused by the party press. Extradited to IllinoU Lovestone's record is similar to that of most radical organizers, and he was arrested in 1920 in New York and extradited to Illinois in connection with the Chicago red raids. In April, 192.1, Lovestone appeared at St.

Joseph, as a defense witness for Ruthenberg, charged with advocating criminal syndicalism. At. that time he was secretary of the party. He claimed that three Russian relief organizations which raised more than $1,000,000 in this country were set up by the Communist Party ot America lor ine dual purpose of raising relief funds and spreading Communist doctrine in churches and conservative labor organizations. His report also claimed that Communists got control of the Non-partisan League in North Dakota and through their activities there defeated Senator McCumber and elected Gov.

Lynn J. Frazier to the Senate in his place. Supervisors Drop Civic Center Idea The proposed $10,000,000 Civic Center project was abandoned temporarily Wednesday by vote of the County Board of Supervisors upon recommendation of the factfinding committee appointed to study the proposal. The committee said that in view of legal barriers and requirements i that all proposed PWA projects be submitted to Washington be- I fore Sept. 30, insufficient time re- mained to complete its task.

Upon its recommendation, however, the committee and its companion financial committee will continue studies with the objective of presenting enabling legislation at the next session of the Legislature. The Ways and Means Committee had approved the report.

Blow to Budget Director The Starr ruling was a body blow to the hopes of Budget Director Harold D. Smith of finding money in other State accounts to keep relief going until the regular legislative session in January. Attorney General's aides continued to hunt for other transferrable funds Wednesday, but it was admitted that the main hope of averting a special session had been destroyed. The political effect of a special session coming in the midst of the primary campaign was a chief topic of discussion Wednesday.

Every member of the Legislature, it is pointed out, will have to leave his home-town voters to the mercies of his opponents, in order to go to Lansing to engage in a wrangle over the enactment of a new tax. Barely Dissuaded Twice For nearly a year past Gov. Murphy has bee.i almost the only practicing Democrat in Lansing who believed that it would be successful politics to hold a special session. Last September and again last April he was barely dissuaded from calling the lawmakers together on each occasion the Governor reluctantly decided that a special session was not absolutely necessary. Murphy gave warning last week that this time it aouUI be necessary, if the Attorney General forbade transfers of funds to the relief account.

He told the members of the Little Legislature to get; ready to go to Lansing in such event. The demand was later; reiterated in petitions from Wayne County, Flint, and other hard-pressed communities.

Clutching at every straw, Miss Hurst sent a telegram to the King, appealing to him to intervene in her behalf to have the Government waive regulations which require incoming dogs to be quarantined for six months. But the King now is on a holiday cruise on the yacht Victoria and Albert, and observers were doubtful that he would intervene actively.
