(A. P. by Guardian's Special Wire) SHANGHAI. July 11-—A1l for- eigners at Kukians were reported evacuated today as severe fighting crept. within 14 miles of the im- ortant Yangtse port and Chinese Jircotened to apply their scorched earth tactics by destroying build. lngs of use to the invaders.

The evacuation was carried out oy the British gunboat Cockchafer and the steamshi Wenchow which. with the Unite States gunboat Monacacy. were said to have steamed eight miles upstream out- side the immediate danger zone.

Kluklang is 135 miles down the Yangtse from Hankow. rovlslonal Cninesese capital. goal o the Jgp- nnese. British authorities emphasiz- ed the evacuation was only tom- pOPBIV. Following a new Japanese warning to Great Britain and other foreign powers. which urged them to evacuate their nationals from a half dozen cities to be tar- gets in an aerial bombing cam- aign, Japanese aircraft bombed inyang.

This cit was one of the num- ber nam in the notes given to diplomatic representatives of the foreign powers.

The Chinese threat to destroy Kiukiang buildings caused concern among officials of Jardine, Math- pson and Company, and Butter- lield. Swire and Company-both British trading interests-and the Asiatic Petroleum and Standard Dii Companies. which own wharves lnd installations valued at several mflion Chinese dollars. (The Chin- ese dollar currently is valued at about 1B cents).

1t also was feared a waterworks ind power plant a British firm re- cciitly completed at Nanchang. on which 3.000.000 Chinese dollars ($540000) remains to be paid, might be destroyed.

thy Session As Month’s Business Is Transacted

A telegram had been sent to MY- George Wakeman. district in- spector of aviation, department of transport asking when a report re 51F Dori site at. Charlottetown might be EXPQCWCI. Mayor E. A. Ibster announced at the regular monthly "levllfll; of the City Council last night. Walceman had been here nearly three weeks ago and had inspected a half dozen sites ad- lflCcnt to the City. He had asked nothing be said 9f his visit until his report was made. Mayor Foster said. Inspection of the sites had been carried out without the know- ledge of the owners of the pm- perties. The inspector had, prev- ious to his arrival here, been sup- plied with aerial maps and sur- face contour data

Coun. B. R. Holman objected to the secrecy with which the survey of possible sites was made. How would a stranger know where to go unless. information was supplied by local people. If’ the City was to purchase a site it. would want to know where it was. His Worship replied informing the council be- fore a site would be considered for purchase all information would be laid before the councillors.

Coun. A. A. Hennessey remarked he had been informed by a men. who declared he had seen the plans. that a $200,000 port was scheduled for here with concrete runways. egg shaped.

There was nothlng to such a. re- port. Mayor Foster said. Although he understood the Government was extremely anxious for a very fine‘ airport at Charlottetown. one which would accommodate the larg- est ships. 300 acres at least would be purchased here. he said. in reply to a question bv Coup Hol- man who referred to the 12:10 acre site at Mnncton. Someone rep- resenting the Citv might have to go to Ottawa in connection with the airport business. .MayorrI"mter

Last night's meeting was a very lengthy one. adiournmcnt taking place shortly before midnight. Business included the adoption of an incomplete permanent street paving program. Three blocks. one each of Dorchester. Cumberland and Edward Streets were decided on. The remainder of the program would be decided on later. $15,000 would be the amount of the pro- je~t. it was said, the contract for which was let to Henry J. Phillips at an emergency meeting last week.

When the minutes of the emerg- ency meetlng were read Coun. Holman protested strongly that the itioetiivg should have been held when three councillors were un- able to attend.

It had been called because of the unemployment situation. Mayor Foster explained.

Coun. Holman asked for figures as to the contract price and was told the price was $2.53 per square yard for four inch base with a one inch top and $2.90 for a five inch base with a One inch top. Speci- fications were that the four inch should be used where the heavier base was not necessary. Flat curb vras ‘lctcd at 88 cents per lineal foot. There had been but the one tender. Councillors Holman and McKee who were absent from the emergency meeting. were told. Atp- parently other contractors were not interested in a contract of the size of the one under discussion. Coun. Holman objected thepave- mcnt was costing too much and quoted figures from Summerside. a black base, seal coat. 4V: inch pave- mcnt. for $1.00 per square yard. Hljh curb at Summerslde was costing $1.05. Coun. Holman said.

King Will Rest For Several llays

(By The Associated Press)

WINDSOR, England. July Ll— Less work and more play were iri- dicated today for the King in the future as he fought off an attack of gastric influenza.

Many persons believed the illness was due partially to the strain of public duties since he came to the throne Dec. 11, 1936. on the abdi- cation of his brother,now the Duke of Windsor.

The public were re-assured as to His Majesty's condition by reports from Windsor that he was im- proving and by the decision of the Queen to hold a presentation party in his place at Buckingham Palace tomorrow night.

But public engagements of the King were cancelled and he was ordered to stay in bed and rest for several days to save his strength for the royal visit to Paris next week.

The Queen decided to emerge from mourning for her mother. the Countess of Strathmore. who died June 23. and attend the presenta- tion party to be hcld for newly married women and others not presented at the full royal courts.

The press. suggesting overwork had taxed the King's constitution. hinted it was now time to slacken the pace.

The Evening News said: “Our chief concern is that the King shall not allow his high senseof duty and his endless round of pub- lic engagements to prevent him from taking good care of his health."

At the same time. it became known he was planning to take up golf actively again. He is having a nine-hole course built on the Buckingham Palace grounds. Henry Cotton, twice British open cham- pion. has over plans and has made suggestions. ardent. low-scoring golfer when he was Duke of York.

Viscount Dawson of Penn and Sir John Weir. physicians attend- ing the King. examined the royal patient during the morning and indicated no bulletin would be is- sued.

The Duke and Ihichcss of Glou- cester will substitute for the King and Queen in opening the new £1.- 000000 r$5.000.000\ hospital centre at Birmingham Thursday.

LONDON, July l1-—(CP Iiavas)—-A charge by the Spanish Govern- ment that Premier Mussolini plans to limit Italian troop withdrawals to 10,000 sick or wounded efloctives coincided tonight wtth publication of the nomintervention committee's white paper for evacuation of foreign

soldiers from Spain.

The long-negotiated plan, adopted by the ‘ZS-power non-interven- tion body last Tuesday, is dependent for application upon acceptance by both combatants. Barcclona and Burgos have yet to announce their official replies, but the tone of the note lrniged with the Foreign Office today by Spanish Ambassador Pablo De Azcarate indicated his govern- merit would demand airtight guarantees against any continued Italian

aid to the Insurgents.

with even the most optimistic circles predictinga delay of atleast five or six weeks before Insurgent and Government endorsement of the withdrawal plan is given. Am- bassador Azcarates note presented the prospect of adamant reserva- tions against any evasion of the project's primary goal.

The note charged I1 Duoe al- ready has arranged with General Franco to withdraw only 10.000 disabled troops. incorporating the rest into the Spanish Foreign Le- gion or stabllshing them in Insur- gent territory as “civiliansf

Among alleged incidents between April and July it listed the debark- ation of 150 Italian aviators at Seville by the Italian steamship Fran-co Fascio. The note will be referred to the non-intervention committee.

Tonight's white paper covering the plan showed a determined ef- fort to speed the withdrawal of foreign troops once the project is [nit into operation-a move which would consequently hasten enact- ment of the Anglo-Italian accord.

While an interval of 46 days is (slchetuledl to‘ elaptse Hglllfl‘ final a-

Another six clays are allowed as the maximum deadline for the em- bnrkation of these men aboard vessels which are to take them to their countries of origin or to pr_e_ scribe points where they are to be provisionally held. Still another 50 days are allowed in which to start the evacuation of sick or wounded foreigners. The entire project is t0 be completed in 164 days at the latest.

The non-intervention committee already has started recruiting ob- servers who will be needed to watch over Spanish ports once the plan is put to work. Negotiations also have started between the committee's secretariat and various delegates regarding the designation of members of the two three-man commissions to be sent into Gov- ernment and Iusurgent territory to take a census of foreign troops and supervise their withdrawal.

According to the present plan. these two bodies. maintaining con-

Sandys Affair

(C. P. by Guardian's Special Wirel

LONDON. July ll—War Sec- retary Leslie Hore-Belisha was at- tacked in the House of Commons today for the part he played in summoning Duncan Sandys. Con- scrvative member and territorial army officer’. before a military court. in violation of parliamentary privilege.

The attacks on Mr. I-Iore-Belisha. led Winston Churchill. Mr. Sandy's fiither-‘in-law, were gen- erall imlirect because the Speaker rule against any discussion of the War secretary's responsibility dur- ing today's debate.

The debate was based on a re- quest by Prime Minister Cham- berlain that the I-louse approve the committee on privileges report- whlch found that summoning of sandys to explain the source of his information regarding deficiencies in Britain's anti-aircraft defence was a breach of parliamentary~ privilege.

The report. however. suggested that the affair should not be press- ed further until the results have been received of the inquiry by the special committee now investi- gating applicability of the Official Secrets Act to members of Pair- liament.

After somewhat heated debate, which by virtue of the Speaker's ruling could have no real political significance. the House approved the prlvileze committee's report by ‘a show of hands.
