Yesterday Japanese land forces started retreat before Chinese hordes. By the Associated Press. SHANGHAI, August 19.—Masses of Chinese infantry struck hard at the heart of Japanese shore positions in Eastern Shanghai late today and forced the enemy lines back almost to the Whangpoo River. The Chinese drive came just as vanguards of a Japa- nese army from the homeland were reaching the Shanghai war zone. It threatened to disorganize plans of the Japa- nese command for seeking victory on a greatly extended front. The advance of the Chinese was reported to have reached the Ward Road Jail and Yangtzepoo road, well within the eastern—or Japanese-held—district of the International Settlement. Both Foint.s are within a few hundred yards of the Whangpoo River ront, where reinforcements and supplies for the Japanese forces ashore have been landed. The attacking Chinese forces came from their Kiangwan area on the northeast. Apparently they were trying to isolate several thousand Japanese marines holding the Hangkew sector. Chinese said at one point their lines had been advanced four miles, although on most of the front it was held to a few hundred yards. Brave Savage Air Bombardment. The Chinese attacking forces braved savage bombardment from the air, from Ja ashore as they drove their lines forward. Military experts said that if the Chinese succeeded in reaching the water front and holding their new lines the ition of the Japanese between the Whangpoo and Soochow Creek—hitherto the main Japanese land forces—would be precarious. Soochow Creek forms the boundary between the Japanese section of the International Settlement and the western districts guarded by American Marines and British infantry, standing behind strong barricades to prevent incursions by either contending army. Japanese lines were badly bent about a mile east of the Astor House Hotel, at the junction of Soochow Creek and the Whangpoo. Tanks and armored cars were rushed into the breach as the Jap- anese marines had to give ground. The Japanese command, however, prepared to throw into the | battle for Shanghai the new army arriving from Japan, greatly extend the field of operations and compel the Chinese to withdraw by flanking movements. Reinforcements Landed. T Ranese warships on the river and batteries | Seven troop ships landed Jap- | anese reinforcements and war | supplies at Japanese docks on the Whangpoo water front to- day. Sixteen more transports | with 20,000 soldiers aboard were | reported lying at the mouth of | the Yangtze ready to attempt a landing under cover of darkness and the guns of their battle fleet. At least two divisions from Japan | were reported entering the Shanghai eampaign immediately and 60,000 more men were understood en route from the homeland or under orders | for Shanghai.

MOSCOW, August 19.—Japanese | Ambassador Mamoru Shigemitsu was accused today by Pravda, the official Communist party newspaper, of; abusing his diplomatic rank by spreading secret anti-Communist pro- paganda in the Soviet capital. At the same time, the Russian news- paper Soviet Siberia reported the ex- ecution of 34 convicted spies and wreckers at Irkutsk after military trials on charges of terrorist activity for the Japanese intelligence service. This was the second large-scale ex- ecution reported within two weeks in Siberia. On August 11, 72 persons were put o death on charges of con- niving with Japanese secret service agents to wreck Russian Far East railroads. Pravda, charging Shigemitsu with “unbecoming conduct,” hinted broadly that propagandist activities would not be tolerated. “If Shigemitsu is inclined to write,” the newspaper declared, “we suggest he find another outlet for his talent, because his work is not becoming either to the Ambassador or to the big country he represents.” The yeference was to a statement which Shigemitsu handed to foreign correspondents here disputing Russian charges that Japanese organized and protected a White Russian raid on the Soviet consulate in Tientsin, China.

CHOLERA EPIDEMIC HITS HONG KONG MWD SOUTH CHINA {Plague Extends to Macao and Up Pearl River to Canton. By the Associated Presa. HONG KONG, August 19.—A tholera epidemic menaced an area of several hundred square miles on the South China Coast today, including this British haven for refugees from the Shanghai warfare, ® The plague struck the Hong Kong crown colony, spread to the Portuguese colony of Macao, on a mainland peninsula, and reached out up the Pearl River to Canton, China. Shipping officials here expressed fear that it would be necessary to cancel all calls at this port and to quarantine | ships which already have arrived. Evacuation May Meet Snag. This created the danger that evacu- | ation of British nationals from China | might have to be suspended. Of 136 reported cases of cholera last week, 82 already have been fatal. The epidemic caused 19 deaths the week | before. | The Health Bureau under League of | Nations auspices disclosed that 35 | cholera victims had died in Macao and 32 in Canton in the week ending last | Saturday.

By the Associated Press Public Health Service officials pre- dicted today the outbreak of cholera Along the South China coast would be controlled by prompt application of sanitary measures. The disease is caused by a micro- organism known as the “vibrio com- ma.” which is transmitted by polluted food and water, by contact with in- fected persons, cholera carriers, cloth- ing of cholera patients or by flies. The disease was the death-dealing “plague”’ of the Middle Ages, but has been brought under control in modern times through rigid sanitary precau- tions. It rarely occurs in North Amer- ica today, but occasionally breaks out in the Philippines and elsewhere in the Orient. Senators Arrange. irip. By the Associated Press.

BACKGROUND— Disappointing revenue returns last March led to quick inquiry by Treasury agents into cause. Subse- quently, department informed President several devices for avoid- ance of taxes had been employed by persons of large income. At President’s request Congress held open hearings on matter and is now enacting legislation designed to plug loopholes discovered. | By the Associated Press. The Senate today passed the admin- | 1stration’s tax-avoidance bill, designed to plug loopholes through which the Government has lost about $100,000,000 revenue annually. Approved after a brief and almost perfunctory debate, the non-contro- versial measure was sent back to the | House for consideration of minor Sen- | ate amendmenta. | Chairman Harrison of the Senate | Pinance Committee told hia colleagues | the legislation would check the use | of personal holding companies, foreign corporations, multiple trusts and in- | | corporation of personal talents to avoid | income-tax liability. The bill was drafted at the Presi- dent’s request. after a joint econgres- sional committee had investigated scores of corporate devices used to | escape taxation. Adopted Without Record Vote. The measure was adopted without a record vote s few minutes after the Senate convened. Not a single provis- ion was questioned. 8enator Bridges, Republican, nf New Hampshire offered an amendment to |direct the Joint Congressional Com- mittee on Taxation to make a study of Federal, State and loeal tax systems, | with a view to eliminating duplication and discovering new sources of | revenue. | He withdrew it however, when Har- rison explained that such a study al- |ready was under way, and that the | committee had made its preliminary report. | | Meanwhile, officials disclosed that | the Treasury is exploring the revenue- | | raising possibilities of a boost in income surtax on individuals. | These surtaxes now range from 4| per cent of net incomes between $4,000 | and $6,000 to 75 per cent of net in- | comes over $5.000.000.

BACKGROUND— For years agitation has been car- ried on and Congress has mulled over question of building atrport large enough and safe enough for the Capital. Early this Summer. special com- mission recommended establish- ment of new field at Camp Springs, Md., and legisiation providing for conatruction of the fleld already has been approved by Senate. Impetus to corrective action was given earlier in Summer when Pilots’ Association announced 1t would refuse to bring giant air- liners into present port unless steps were taken soon to improve condi- tions. BY 1. A. O'LEARY. ‘The House Military Affairs Commit- tee today voted a favorable report on the Camp Springs airport bill without changing the Senate provisions. Thix development is expected to re- lease the Copeland-May Washington Airport improvement bill from the mo- tion to reconsider. This has kept it anagged in the Senate for several days. Both measures now have a chance of enactment before the session ends, | whereas yesterday it appeared neither might get through the final legisla- | tive stages. The House committee acted after more than an hour in executive ses- sion, during which Senator King, Democrat, of Utah and Representative Nichols, Democrat, of Oklahoma joined in a plea for approval of the | Camp Springs bill. Both were mem- | bers of the District Airport Commis- sion, which recommended the site in Prince Georges County near the road to Southern Maryland for the develop- ment of a large, modern air terminal for the National Capital. Can Now Go to Conference. The Copeland-May bill, designed to make the existing Washington Airport a safer fleld, has passed both houses, and conferees have been appointed. They cannot take the bill into con- ference for final adjustment, how- ever, as long as the motion to re- consider hangs over the measure in the Senate. Senator King indicated on leaving the House meeting that if the House committee reported the Camp Springs bill, and efforts are made to have the House pass it, he would with- draw his objection to the other bill going to conference. This step may be taken this afternoon. Representative May of Kentucky, acting chairman of the House com- mittee, said efforts will be made to get the Camp Springs bill up in the House under suspension of the rules before the session ends. Funds Must Be Voted. The Camp Springs bill is only an suthorization. The $3,286,250 needed to acquire the land and develop the airport would have to be made avail- able by Congress later in an appro- priation bill. The measure also author- izes $250,000 for construction of an express highway from Anacostia Bridge to the airport. May pointed out that passage of the Washington Airport bill would eliminate hazards at that landing fleld while the other airport is being developed out in the country. In the Copeland-May bill the House and Senate both voted to close Mili- tary road, but the House measure would restrict the airport corporation to & 25-year lease of the road area, while the Senate text transfers title to the airport. The Senate bill in- cludes permission to fill the lagoon of Boundary Channel, subject, however, to approval by the National Capital Park and Planning Commission. These various differences in detail must be\ironed out in conference, but it is believed this can be ®one without undue delay. HOUSE CAUCUS TONIGHT Democratic House members will meet tonight to discuss the adminis- tration wage-hour bill, which the Rules Committee has blocked. A small group of members wants the party caucus to exert pressure on the com- mittee to permit debate, but leaders predicted this would not be done. Chairman Norton of the Labor Committee said she would file on Sat- urday & petition to discharge the committee, permitting debate early in the next session. & PAGES. _HR¥ | WAS AFRAID THOSE PESKY BIRDS WOULD GET AWAY!

W. A. (Text of President Roosevelt's speech on Page A-17.) By the Associated Press. President Roosevelt returned to Washington today for the wind-up of a recalcitrant Congress, after sound- ing the keynote of a fresh campaign against what he termed “Tory” oppo- sition. The President arrived here shortly after 8 am. and went directly to the White House. Few bills of major importance were awaiting presidential action. Hence his chief concern today was a further close watch on Far Eastern develop- ments. He also planned another con- ference with Secretary Ickes on public works fund allocations. Addressing an outdoor crowd of seve eral thousand late yesterday at Man- teo, Ronaoke Island, the President lashed out with old campaign vigor against the Liberty League, United States Chamber of Commerce, Na- tional Association of Manufacturers and certain editorial writers for “using the Constitution as a cloak” in seek- ing Government rule by a “priviieged minority.” He spoke at a celebration eom- memorating the 350th anniversay of the birth of Virginia Dare, first child born of English parentage in the New World.
