German-American Bund Hit. ‘The session voted to propose the bill after a discussion of the German- American Bund, a Nazi organization which, it was charged, is advocating in the United States “a policy based upon hatrea foreign to this country which would stamp out our religious freedom, freedom from race and class hatred and freedom of speech and press and substitute & dictatorship for our present form of government.” ‘The committee also voted to sponsor lezislation “to amend the pay schedule for an increase in the basic pay of the enlisted personnel of the Army, Navy, Marine Corps and the Coast Guard,” and “to establish for the enlisted per- sonnel of the National Guard a longevity pay schedule” in an effort to make “services in the Nation’s armed forces more attractive to young men.” Security Act Amendment Favored. ‘To broaden the scope of the Social Security Act, the Army and Navy Union would have Congress amend the act so as to include agricultural workers, domestic servants, Govern- ment employes and teachers and oth- ers employed in educational institu- tions. It also would have health in- surance and free medical and surgical aid for children under 16 included, as well as fingerprinting of all citizens in the United States for identification market woman. shots award. the photograph wins $100.

The Japanese Embassy, Army and Navy sent floral wreaths, but the most conspicuous tribute was a wreath from the Chinese Chapei “Lost Bat- talion,” now safely interned only & short distance away. It said: “They shall live after death.” After the funeral ceremonies, Tel- fer-Smollett telegraphed the British Embassy at Tokio, asking new repre- sentations to the Japanese govern- ment to have Japanese use greater care in their gunnery. Thousands of Chinese students lined the cemetery walls and later paraded through Shanghai streets carrying banners which read: “Long live our British friends.” Police finally broke up the proces- sion because it blocked traffic. Heavy Fire on Japanese. ‘The Japanese crossing of Soochow Creek, at Rubicon Village, was in the face of heavy Chinese fire. Laying down a mile-long smoke screen which blended with the purple evening haze, Japanese made another attempt to cross the creek near Jess- fleld Park at the western border of the International Settlement. Chinese fought back furiously to prevent a further breach in their lines as night fell. An American observer behind Chi- nese front lines reported especially heavy Japanese artillery and air bom- bardment along Hungjao road, where several foreign homes were reported hit and 200 Chinese soldiers and villagers killed or wounded. Bombers Fly in Relays. Twelve three-motored Japanese bombers, protected by pursuit planes, maintained & constant relay attempt- ing to demolish Chinese artillery posi- tions and troop concentrations. Japanese also subjected Pootung, across the Whangpoo River from Bhanghai, to six air raids. A Japanese spokesman announced that nine grounded planes and two Chinese pursuit planes attempting to protect them were destroyed at Tai- yuan, in Shansi Province. From Tsin- an, in Northern Shantung Province, came reports of heavy Japanese troop movements southward, with indica- tions that Japanese were resuming their offensive and Chinese intended to make a stand along the Yellow River. A Japanese threat to bomb Mantao, the old Chinese city south of the French concession, terrorized hundreds of thousands of Chinese. French au- thorities strengthened barricades to prevent a possible stampede into the concession. Clashes in Manchukuo. TOKIO, Nov. 1 (#).—A Domei (Japanese) News Agency dispatch from Mukden, Manchukuo, reported today that a Japanese Army detach- ment clashed with bandits between Mukden and Hsinking.

PEIPING, Nov. 1 (#).—A Japanese Army communique today asserted 400 Chinese troops were killed on the North Honan front Sunday when a Chinese attack north of Changteh was beaten off.

The Commissioners officially wel- comed today the three Pan-American trail-blazers who are visiting in Wash- ington after completion of a nine-year automobile trip. ‘They were accompanied to the Dis- trict Building by Dr. L. S. Rowe, di- rector general of the Pan-American Union, who introduced the Brazilian highway engineers. The Commission- ers were greatly interested in the 16,500-mile route that took the traii- blazers into 15 countries, and con- gratulated them on the success of their venture. Leonidas Borgas de Oliviera, commander of the expedi- tion, showed the Commissioners maps and pictures. The other two Bra- zilians are Francisco Lopez de la Cruz and Mario Fava. ‘Tomorrow they will be luncheon guests of the National Geographic Society. Dr. Rowe said entertain- ments have been arranged for them all this week. NAVY DESIGNER, DIES Funeral Services Tomorrow Aft- ernoon for Turret Expert of Department.

Hsieh Chin Yuan, Gets Rank of General—Losses During Siege Declared Only 10 Dead. T0BE TOMORROW Former Resident Will Be Buried in Ridgewood, N. . Funeral services for Robert Lock- wood Corby, 55, former resident of this city, will be held at 2 pm. to- morrow at his home in Ridgewood, N. J, where he died Saturday. For many years Mr. Corby was sec- retary of the Corby Baking Co. here, founded by his father and brother, the late Willam S. Corby and the late Charles I. Corby. He left Wash- ington about 17 years ago to take a position with a yeast manufacturing concern. Mr. Corby is survived by his widow, Mrs. Rose Corby; three daughters, Mrs. Eiizabeth Sturges and Mrs. Mil- dred Maloy, both of New York, and Mrs. Virginia Thompson of England; his mother, Mrs. Louise A. Corby, New | York; a sister, Mrs. May Corby Ward, and a brother, Clarence W. Corby, this city. A native of Ithaca, N. Y., Mr. Corby came to Washington as a young man. While working in the Washington bakery, Mr. Corby and his brothers became pioneers in the invention and development of mixing, weighing and moulding machines—now standard equipment in all bakeries. By 1901, Mr. Corby was general manufacturing superintendent and technical adviser of the bakery and in the ensuing several years, he traveled widely in Europe, introducing and selling the newly invented machinery. Meanwhile, at the age of 19, he had begun the study of baking chemistry in a Chicago technical school, and his innovations in the use of yeast cul- ture were introduced in the Corby Yeast Co., which he and his brother, ‘William, established in Langdon, Md. It was. here that he developed a process for manufacturing yeast, sub- stituting use of inorganic nitrogen compounds hitherto relied upon in commercial manufacture. The suc- cess of the new process led to con- solidation in 1919 of the Corby Co. with the Fleischmann Yeast Co., of Wwhich Mr, Corby became & vice presi- dent and general superintendant of manufacture and director of research. EMPLOYMENT OF MEN 45 AND OVER HELD GAINING Industry Gives Work to Older Men, Cameron Declares in Address. By the Associated Press. DETROIT, Nov. 1—William J. Cameron of the Ford Motor Co. de- clared in a radio address last night that, contrary to popular opinion, in- dustrial employment of persons of 45 years or older has been on the in- crease for 30 years. Denying the “diligently circulated” report that “employers conspire to make men of 45 or more obsolete,” Cameron declared that the census of 1900 showed that 20 per cent of all employes were 45 to 65 years old and that the census of 1930 showed an increase of this class of employment to 25.4 per cent, Employes 40 to 65 years of age comprise 23 per cent of the total in 1900 and 35 per cent in 1930, he said.

SHANGHAL Nov. 1.—Gen. Hsieh Chin-yuan, commander of the Chinese “Lost Battalion” that defied the Japanese for four days in a Chapel warehouse- citadel, declared today that his men withdrew sorrowfully. Their two greatest griefs, he told the Associated Press in his first interview since the battalion evacuated, were that they were forced to withdraw before sealing the struggle with their lives and that they.could not return to the P s e 3 conflict. Hsieh—promoted from colonel to general in recognition of the feat that raised all his men one rank— sat in a tiny canvas hut, no larger than a dog tent. He declared his force of farmer-boy soldiers lost only 10 dead, not 100 as the Japanese have asserted. Hsieh, who was the last to leave the burning warehouse Saturday to run the gauntlet of Japanese machine gun fire, blushed like a child when the Associated Press told him for the first time that Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek had promoted him to| general. “But I don’t deserve such an honor,” he said. All 370 survivors of the battalion of Chiang’s own 88th Division went safely through the Japanese fire, Hsieh declared. He said 410 men originally entered the building and that there were only 40 casualties, including 10 dead, during the four days they oc- cupied it. “The Japanese are bad marksmen,” he explained. “They fire wildly when they are excited.” Hsieh said the order to evacuate came by telephone from Chiang at 9 pm. Saturday, but that he was afraid at first to inform his men be- cause he thought they might revolt. The general, dignified but simple and modest, said Japanese reports that the “Lost Battalion” abandoned large quantities of foreign food were not true. ‘The Japanese had said the battalion left provisions which, they declared, must have reached them through the British-patrolled sector of the Inter- national Settlement. “Our food consisted mainly of rice, biscuits and vegetables furnished by Chinese sympathizers,” Hsieh asserted. “We covered it with kerosene when we left.” Editorial to “Foster Mother” Of Sing Sing Becomes Obit By the Associated Press, OSSINING, N. Y., Nov. 1.—An edi- torial written by & prisoner a few days ago was the obituary today of the “foster mother of Sing Sing"— Mrs. Kathryn Stanley Lawes, wife of Warden Lewis E. Lawes. Mrs. Lawes died Saturday night from shock and loss of blood from a compound leg fracture received ap- parently when she fell after her heel caught in a boardwalk near Bear Mountain Bridge. Dr. Amos O. Squire, Westchester County medical examiner, who de- scribed the death as “‘undoubtedly due to an accident,” said Mrs. Lawes, 51, had crawled 125 feet for ald. She died in Ossining Hospital three hours after she was found by Warden Lawes and Dr. Squire. Mrs. Lawes had been slightly ill for some time, and last Friday the Sing Sing News, newspaper printed for the prison's 2,625 inmates, expressed hope for her early recovery. “To us so unfortunate, whatever else our stay in Sing Sing has meant, whether good or bad, in our inner- most thoughts we revere and in our crude and clumsy way hold our foster mother in the place hallowed from the inception of man, on this mun- dane sphere, for our mother,” the tribute read.

Rigid limits on mergers of largs concerns were proposed today £s the Federal Trade Commission sent fore ward its annual report to Congress. Explaining this would be ons method of fulfilling President Roose« velt’s recent recommendations for stronger anti-trust laws, the commise sion recommended legislation to pro hibit & business from acquiring the assets of & competitor if the combined assets exceeded a fixed percentage or amount. The commission did not suggest any figure, proposing Congress fix that. “This would have the advantage of a positive legislative standard, defining the limit at which corporate accretions in size and power shall be halted in order to prevent monopoly,” the report #id. Officials explained the commission put emphasis on “positive legislative standards” to prevent emasculation of generalized laws.

Wang, Chinese Ambassador. She said the visit was purely & social one with no political implications. In her “talks” over the country Lady Drummond-Hay said she is tell- ing her audiences something about the personal life of such world figures as Hitler, Mussolini, Haile Selassie, Gandhi and King Carol of Rumania, whom she has met in her world travels. She says nothing about the romance of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor because “one does not discuss one’s own family, much as one might talk about one's neighbors.” Declared “Forgotten Men.” BShe described Haile Selassie and Gandhi as world’s “fotgotten men.” Selassle, she said, is now living fru- gally at Bath, England.
