FOOD SHORTAGE IS
SERIOUS THREAT TO
Tientsin, China, June 19.
(UP)—The British concession,
blockaded by armed Japanese
troops, has a food supply suf-
ficient for only forty-eight
hours and the imprisoned pop-
ulace is faced with the addi-
tional problem of caring for
thousands of hungry Chinese,
who have sought refuge in the
center, British authorities re-
vealed Monday.
H. S. R. Barnes, secretary of
the British Municipal Council,
revealed the acute state of the
food supplies a^ Japan’s mili-
tary blockade of the British
and French concessions enter-
ed its sixth day without pros-
pect of immediate settlement.
Although foodstuffs are be-
ing exhausted rapidly, Barnes
said, there are large stores of
flour and rice in the conces-
sion’s warehouses along the
Hai River but these too soon
may be depleted because of
the packing of the concession
area with Chinese by Japa-
nese military commanders.
Japanese sentries at the
barricaded entrances to the
British concession allowed
Chinese to enter in large num-
bers, but permitted few of
them to leave.
AIRPORT OERICATlON “
HAS GOOD ATTENDANCE
The dedication of the Timp-
son Municipal airport Sunday
attracted the interest and at-
tendance of people from
throughout this section, and
though many came and re-
mained for the day, there
were others who visited for a
time and left. The peak crowd
upon the field at one time was
estimated by some at 1500.
Nine planes were present,
and a "spot landing” contest
proved the high light of the
day as the aviators endeavor-
ed to see which could come
nearest to bringing plane to a
landing at a given point. Many
passengers took the opportu-
nity to take an airplane ride.
Bridge Piling Driven
On Rue Hill And
Tennessee Roads
E. A. Bogard, commissioner
of this precinct, said today
that piling had been driven for
bridges on the Ros Hill and
Tennessee roads, and that
driving equipment would be
removed for work on the
Stockman road.
Though delayed by weather
conditions, splendid progress
has been made on lateral road
projects in this area.

they were playing with ex-
ploded at a field near the air-

The bomb was one dropped
Saturday when Mexican mili-
tary planes practiced bomb-
ing. It failed* * to explode. A
man found it today and the

ging it with a rope when it

ADVOCATES CHANCED
VIEW FOR BUSHKSS
Washington, June 18. (UP)
The senate committee which
studied profit-sharing plans in
industry tonight condemned
the government’s attitude to-
ward business and warned
that unless it is altered the
country faces an indefinite pe-
riod of unemployment and
semi-depression conditions.
In a 400-page report, the
group said that punitive tax
measures and harassing con-
trol efforts by the government
have driven some of the best
business brains into retire-
ment. They called on con-
gress to remove "effects” on
the nation’s business institu-
tions.
The report proposed that
congress experiment ‘‘to a rea-
sonable degree” with incentive
taxation to encourage adop-
tion of profit-sharing plans by
industry. Other recommenda-
tions included:
Recognition of the princi-
ple of merit rating.
Full deductibility of irrevo-
cable pension trust reserves in
the taxable year during which
the trust fund is established.
laws regarding amounts re-
ceived by employes through
operation of profit-sharing
plans, specifically as they re-
fer to lump-sum payments.
Exemption from all taxation
of federal government bonds
purchased by trustees for
benefit of employe trusts.
The inquiry was made in
accordance with a resolution
introduced by Sen. Arthur H.
Vandenburg, <R.-Mich.), who
served on the committee. Sen.
Clyde L. Herring (D.-Iowa),
was chairman. Sen. Edwin C.
Johnson (D.-Colo.), the third
member, refused to sign the
report.
