FORCE IN NANKING FACING ISOLATION Japanese Troops Advancing as Hold on Shanghai Is Tightened. By the Associated Press. SHANGHAI, Nov. 28 (Sunday). Japan's soldiers today pushed their conquests deeper unt. China's eastern provinces while Japan's representa- tives in the rear tightened their hold on the communications and customs services of conquered Shanghai. Wuhu and Kwancteh, in Anhwei Province, hitherto not invaded, were objectives of rapid thrus: which threatened to isolate Nanking even before the capital could be reached by other Japanese columns and perhaps before its defenders could withdraw. Hangchow, beautiful and historic capital of Chekiang Province, was menaced by other Japanese forces swarming through the hilly country 100 or more miles southwest of Shanghai. News that Great Britain had warned Japan the British government expects to be consulted about any changes in . communications and customs services in Shanghai had no apparent effect on the Japanese program of consoli- | dation here. Japanese officers today were seeking the co-operation of Chinese tech- nicians and telegraphers to insure in- terrupted op tion of the radio and telegraph services in the Shanhai area over which Japan assumed control. A Japanese spokesman said, “should our efforts (to obtain such co-oper- ation) fail, temporary interruption of communications facilities would fol- low, to the regret of the Japanese au- thorities.” The Japanese thrust toward Wuhu, treaty port on the Yangtze River 55 miles south-southwest of Nanking, threatened to bottle up all civilians remaining in the capital and cut off Chinese military forces in the entire Nanking region, It was feared great loss of civilian life would result if the Japanese first isolated, then attacked Nanking. There was danger of total destruction of China’s briliant capital if its de- fenders were trapped and turned to fight within its walls. Troops Converge on Hangchow.

Miss Bowling and Miss Bertha Ger- ber of the Family Service Association were discussing Chest needs with Mrs. Cazenove Lee, volunteer member of the Community Chest's Budget Com- mittee, on the Civic Forum program of Station WJSV. “The heaviest burden the visiting nurse carries is the load she can't carry,” saiu Miss Bowling. “The suf- fering she can't relieve because there are rot enough hours in the day to | care for all who need her.” Miss Gerber described an increasing nhumber of families, ineligible for pub- lic relief, who have had to be turned away from the family welfare agencies because of lack of funds. “People say these families must be | heaq of the Scouts, explained that the able to get along somehow,” said Miss Gerber, “but it is this ‘getting along somehow’ that is the plague of Wash- ington.

Both social workers agreed the rea- son was not that Washington doesn't care, but that it doesn’'t know how pressing the need is and how much de- pends upon the gift of each individual. “If every one could see, as social workers see, frantic mothers, discour- aged fathers, hungry children, and have to stand by, as we do, powerless to help them, I know that quota would be raised,” said Miss Bowling. Mrs. Lee called attention to the fact that the need for every dollar asked for by the Community Chest has been carefully scrutinized by a volunteer committee of local citizens and that the amount set as the quota was the least on which the 69 agencies repre- sented in the Chest could operate dur- ing the coming year. “I dread to think what will happen if these budgets have to be cut still further,” said Mrs. Lee. Prior to the discussion of Chest news, the Boy Scouts gave a program of talks and music. Lynn C.

MOSCOW, Nov. 27.—The official Soviet government newspaper Izvestia today expressed belief that British diplomats would try to force France to accept demands made by Chancel- lor Adolf Hitler of Germany on Lord Halifax. In their approaching conversations at London with Premier Camille Chautemps and Foreign Minister Yvon Delbos of France, the article stated it was to be “supposed” pressure would be brought to bear on France to com- pel its acceptance of Hitler’s program.
