members of the present commission
have privately favored for some
time.
Tuesday night, with little dis-
cussion preceding the action, the
commission instructed City Attor-
ney Ed I. Key to draw up an or-
dinance calling for a special elec-
tion on charter revision, and to
bring that document before the
next council meeting.. The order will
provide for the voters 15 members

charter. •

Though no vote was taken by the
commissioners Tuesday night, a
canvass of members by the Record-
Chronicle Wednesday forecast that
the election will be called, and the
proposed re-writing laid before the
city electorate for decision.
The charter as re-written would
then have to be put before the citi-
zens at another election, for their
adoption or rejection. 4

SHANGHAI, Sept. 15 —Naval
commanders of the United States
and four other Western powers de-
manded today that both Chinese
and Japanese anti-aircraft gunners
take immediate steps to spare the
lives of "innocent noncombatants."
The urgent request of American
Admiral Harry E. Yarnell and the
other neutral naval commanders
went forward while Chinese, in the
face of wave after wave of Jap-
anese attackers, stood fast on their
new inland line stretching 20 miles
from Chapel to Liuho, north and
west of International Shanghai.
Far to the north the whole might
of 125,000 Japanese troops and
their modern equipment was thrown
into the long-bogged offensive
against a 100-mile battle line This
campaign, aimed at subjugation of
the rich provinces north of the Yel-
low River, holds the real military
importance of the whole undeclared
war.

found that the dye materially slows
down the growth of some types of
cancer. And, in some cases it caused
cancer growths to be absorbed in
experimental animals and enabled
the natural disease-fighting mech-
anisms to control them.
Previously the dye had been
found highly useful to controlling
hemorrhages due to tuberculosis,
pleurisy, cancer and ulcers It has
also been used successfully in the
treatment of anemia.
Sttmulates Blood Cells
Now It has been found, the New
York specialists said, that the dye
apparently stimulates the activity
of some of the blood cells which
fight disease and the disease de-
fense mechanisms of the spleen,
lymph glands and bone marrow.

NEW YORK, Sept. 15. —(—
James A Farley's endorsement of
Jeremiah T Mahoney for mayor of
New York re-emphasized today the
New Deal Issue in the scrambled
three-cornered mayoralty primary
campaign which an estimated 1,-
000,000 voters will clarify at the
polls tomorrow.
Announcement by Farley that he
would vote for Mahoney, opponent
of Senator Royal S Copeland, spot-
lighted anew Tammany Hall's inter-
nal feud over the New Deal.
Copeland is the candidate of a
majority of the Tammany chief-
tains Mahoney, a New Deal cham-
pion. Is supported by a rebel Tam-
many faction.
Biggest surprise at the campaign
was Tammany Hall's disclosure
yesterday that Democratic voters
participating to a test poll taken by
the Wigwam favored Mayor La-
Guardia. Copeland's rival for the
Republican nomination, over either
Copeland or Mahoney.

“I don't know whether these let-
