TJic Adventures oi \\ \\ Toronto, May 31.\u2014ff\u2014Ontario Hydro-Electric Power Commission contracts with Quebec companies were expected again to be the subject of close questioning when a committee of the Ontario _ Legislatures today resumed its inquiry into hydro affairs.Former Chairman T.Stewart Lyon probably will be the first witness.Mr.Lyon, former newspaper editor and for three years head of the Commission, told the Committee yesterday he was not aware, prior to his resignation last October 28, of any intention on the part of the Government to reverse its \"Back to Niagara\u201d policy.He said he always had opposed purchasing power from Quebec.Commission contracts with Beau-harnois Light, Heat and Power Company and three other Quebec companies, made prior to 1934.^ were cancelled by the Ontario Legislat e, e in 1935.Revised agreements, deleting certain controversial clauses in the old contracts, were signed last December 10.Court action to have the invalidating legislation declared ultra vires, successful in Ontario courts, was dropped before it reached the Privy Council, Describing the impending Privy Council appeal, Mr.Lyon told the Committee that in August, 1937, he had told Premier Hepburn \u201cI would sign no cheque to satisfy even a judgment of the Privy Council in the case of the Beauharnois contract because I believed the contract was improperly made.\u201d He added: \u201cI said they could send me to jail if necessary.The Prime Minister said that if any sheriff\u2019s order was made to execute any suen judgment the sheriff would cease to be an employee of the Province before he reached the Hydro offices.\u201d Shortly before adjournment, the former chairman read a letter tie had written to the Premier on December 17, 1936.In the letter he said statements by F.A.Gaby, former chief engineer of the Commission, were wrong and he in turn reviewed the Hydro situation.Heavy Damage Inflicted On Key Chinese Cities By Japanese Air Raids Continued from Paee 1.ghai railway.They have been trying to press westward through Lan-feng.seventy-three miles to Chengchow and from there turn south-I ward for a 30U-mile push to Hankow.Should these units among the -100,000 men estimated to comprise the Japanese army on the central front reach Chengchow, they would be able with their compatriots to i make a concerted drive toward Hankow.Chinese acknowledged that steady bombing by Japanese planes hampered their counter-offensives to make such a drive impossible, but insisted they were in control about Lanfeng.Japanese naval planes aided the offensive in raids against Chinese airdiomes over a wide area.Twenty bombs struck the airfield at Foochow alone.Far to the south, there was another twenty-two-plane raid on Canton, A Chinese squadron, said to number forty planes, intercepted the raiders, however, in an air battle east of the city.Hong Kong dispatches said four Japanese ships were shot down, including one large bomber.Five of the Japanese ships broke through to reach Canton, but dropped only a few bombs at the outskirts before winging away.There have been raids on Canton since Saturday, when Chinese offi-eiallv estimated 600 were killed and 900 injured, BORAH BLOCKS AGREEMENT ON WAGE MEASURE Idaho Republican Attacks Provisions of Senate Measure Permitting Exemption of of Certain Firms from Provisions of Bill.NORTH CHINA TARIFFS ARE EXTENDED.Nanking, May 31.\u2014(JP)\u2014The Japanese-sponsored \u201cReformed Government of China,\u201d established at Nanking on March 28th, announced today that North China tariffs would be extended to Central China, including Shanghai.The North China schedules were published January 20th by the Japanese-sponsored Government at Peiping, It wras announced the new rates, effective tomorrow, were based generally on the 1931 tariff structure, regarded as more \u201cequitable\u201d to Japan than the existing rates.Washington, May 31\u2014(JP)\u2014Cast-! ing precedent aside, Senator Borah (Republican.Idaho), criticized both House of Representatives and Senate wage-hour bills so vigorouly today that attempts to reach a compromise may be retarded.Borah, member of a joint committee seeking an agreement on the legislation, declared the Senate bill wmuld give \u201cHitler-like\u201d powers to a five-member board which could excuse some firms from compliance with pay and hour regulations in the United States.He made it plain he w^uld not support that provision, despiet custom which holds that conferees must back the measure approved by their chamber.Nor will he agree, Borah said, to accept a bill without wage differentials.The House measure carries no such differentials.The Idaho Senator expressed his views shortly before Congressional leaders went to the White House for their weekly conference with President Roosevelt on the legislative programme.Their only question of pre-adjournment procedure was whether they should try to revive any part of the President Roosevelt\u2019s government reorganization programme.If that is not done, they hope to end the session by June 11.Borah, however, said he did not believe a wage-hour agreement could be reached by that date.Cabinet Makes Own Decision On Padlock Law pe*\u2019 00* \u2018 re*' British Ship Destroyed In Valencia Raid TO ti&rring ERROL FLYNN OLIVIA DeHAVILLAND BASH RATHBONE CLAUDE RAINS PATRIC KNOWLES \u2022 EUGENE PALLETTE ALAN HALE .MELVILLE COOPER IAN HUNTER \u2022 UNA O'CONNOR Presented by WARNER BROS.ADDED Double Laughs, Double Trouble.Double Thrills When Penrod Leads His Gang Into Another Fun-For-All, All-For-Fun Adventure, \u201cPENROD AND HIS TWIN BROTHER\u201d Starring Biilv and Bobby Mauch.Frank Craven.Spring Byineton.A NIGHT AT THE MOVIES with Robert Benchley.- LATEST WORLD NEWS - Continued from Page 1.gent warplanes rained bombs on Valencia today in a combined land and air offensive against the former provisional capital of the Spanish Government, Reports to the frontier said the Insurgent bombers first appeared over the Mediterranean port city las: night and continued their attack until early this morning.To the northwest of Valencia, In: surgent Generalissimo Franco\u2019s motorized columns fought their way down the highway from Teruel.Other columns struck over the mountains north of the highway in a general advance all along the front from Teruei to the sea.General Jose Varela\u2019s Castilian divison made the farthest southern march, capturng Mora de Rubielos, the next to the last line of Government defences dominating the Taruel-Medi-terranean highway I 3 PREMIER Your Last Chance Today to See Beverly Roberts, Dick Rurcelt, Gloria Blondetl, in \u201cDAREDEVIL DRIVERS.\" Buck Jones, Kay Linaker, in \u201cBLACK ACES.** Other Subject^, TONIGHT\u2014STAGE, ATTRACTION AND AMATEUR CONTEST TOMORROW UNTIL SATURDAY TWO SENSATIONAL THRILLERS A PICTURE THAT LAUNCHES YOU INTO A SEA OF EXCITEMENT !
