Fierce fighting was reported in
the southeast Shantung province
war done, where both Jaranese
and Chinese have been massing
reinforcements and munitions for
a decisive engagement.
With the Japanese sworn to re
venge the disastrous setbacks
around Taierhchwang, they. were
staking tHeir military prestige on
the outcome of the battle.
Equally resolute, the Chinese
were fighting to break up the Jap
anese campaign against central
China, and reconquer all their lost
territory. g
Striking southward along the
Yi river, the Japanese sought to
reach the strategic city of Suchow,
junction of the Lunghai and Tient
sin-Pukow railways 80 miles
southwest of Lini.
While opposing armies locked in
crucial battle near Lini, severe
conflict continued around Yihsien

the bulk of those said to need it.
Rural relief expenditures this

needing ai@ are located ipn the

Roosevelt Gives
Dr. Townsend
Executive Pardon
WASHINGTON .—(/P)—President
Roosevelt today pardoned Dr.
Francis E. Townsend, old age
pension advocate, as he was about
to enter the local jail to serve a
30-day sentence for contempt of a
house committee.
Townsend had already reported
to the district attorney's office and
announced he was ready to begin
service of the jail sentence when
the presidential pardon was an
nounced.
The T7l-year-old pension advo
cate was convicted February 24,
1937, for walking out on a spec
ial committee which was investi
gating his plan to pay a S2OO a
month federal pension to all per
sons over 60 years of age.
A White House announcement of
the pardon cited a telegram sent
to the President April 15 by Chair
man Bell (D.-Mo.) of the house
committee saying:
“Dr. Townsend is an aged man
and I am firmly convinced that at
the time the so-called walk-out
was planned prior to his having
been called as a witness and later
at the time he actually did leave
the witness stand, he was under
the influence .of men of stronger
will and intelligence than his own
and that they were far more re
sponsible for his offense than the
doctor himself.”
GREATER GEORGIA depends

Atheng League of Women Vo
ters,
A.B.C. Paper—Single Copy, 2c—s¢ Sunday ?
Republican Chairman John
Hamilton and Senator Arthur
Vandenburg (R.-Mich.) ecriticized
the huge “pump-priming” propos
als as unsound in radio speeches
last night.
Their outspoken opposition was
in contrast to Republican tactics
during the Surreme Court fight,
when Vandenburg wrote a lengthy
speech but never delivered it. In
the recent government reorganiza
tion fight, congresional Republi
cans again left the generalship of
the attack to Democrats.
Administration leaders, however,
predicted only a smattering of
votes would be cast against the
President’'s economic recommenda
tions, on which hearings will be
gin Monday.
The legislation, now being draft
ed, 'was a major topic for Mr,
Roosevelt's weekly conference with
his congressional lieutenants late
this morning.
After the meeting, Representa
tive Rayburn of Texas, the house
Democratic leader, reiterated a
prediction that congress would ad- |
journ between May 20 and June 1.
Rayburn, Vice-Presideant Garner‘
and Sreaker Bankhead attended
the customary Monday conference
with the President before he left
for his office. Senator Barkley of
Kentucky, the senate leader, was
out of the city.
“Nice, Quiet Talk”
“We just had a nice quiet little
talk with no decisions en any
thing,” Rayburn said, adding that
taxes came in for incidental men
tion. 2
' The leaders reiterated they be
lieved the recovery-relief program
’would be framed in one bill.
Chairman Hamilton, replying to
‘the President’s “fireside chat,” de
clared Mr. Roosevelt 'was more in
terested in “priming the polls”
for the November congressional
elections than in “priming the
pumps of recovery."
Vandenburg's sreech was made
during a broadcast debate with
Senator Hill (D.-Ala.), who was
elected on an administration plat
form last winter.
Hill said the Hoover adminis
tration, when facing a business
recession, had waited so long to
act that it turned the slump into
a major depression,
Vandenburg, calling President
Roosevelt’'s new program “a tragic
error,’ expressed belief a “united
effort along healing and construc
tive lines” could turn the eco
nomic tide in 90 days. He declar
ed, however, another “pump-rrim
ing adventure” could not do it.
