JAPANESE WILL
 START ATTACKING CHINCHOW SOON
War Office Dispatch Re- veals This = Ex-War Minister Slated for New Job
BY MILES w. VAUGHN

Tokio, Dec 18-(UP)-A war office statement today that Japan ese troops in Manchuria ''were compelled to undertake an exten- sive punitive expedistin" against Chinese troops and bandits" was regarded as preliminary to an advance on Chinchow.
 The statement said the expedi- tion would be undertaken west of the Liato river.
 The Tientsin correspondent of the Japanese News agency Nippon Dempo reported that Marshal Chang Hseuh-Liang expressed be- lief that a Japanese attack on Chin chow was impending. He ordered Gen Jung Chen, commanding the 25,000 troops in the Chinchow area, to resist ito the bitter end," the report said. :.
 Marshal Chang previously had resigned all his connectiosn with Manchuria, where he was dominant until busted by the Japanese.
 It was recalled that the war office had stated repeatedly that 1t would not hesitate to occupy Chinchow if such move became 1mpera- tive.
 The report that Gen Jiro Minami, minister of war in the late Wakat- suki cabinet, would be appointed administrative chairman to con- trol and coordinate Japan's in- terests in Manchuria and Korea had not been confirmed officially. Gen Minami said he was going to Manchuria on Q general inspection tour but he had no Information regarding his reported appoint ment. The former war minister said he would accept such position If 1t was offered him, however. Financial quarters were very much interested in the statement of the newspaper Asahf that re- ports to the bank of Japan from London expressed the belief of financial circles there that the United States would abandon the gold standard. I.oc"l c'ac'"'~
 bank of Japan, however. called the report unreasonaDl>.
 The appointment of Prince ka- min, relative of the emperor, as chief of the general staff of the army was considered certain. That appointment and dispatch of Gen Minami to Manchuria indicated the, | intention Of the army to retaln Il dominant influence in national af- fairs.
 Asahi understood that Gen Mi nami would depart for Manchuria fiduring the week end. after the ap- proval of Emperor Hirohito.
 The tokio press referred to his position of governor general af Manchuria" as an obvious misno- mer. It was believed that the army envisaged the post as an adminis- trative head of Japanese affairs In Manchuria. designed to coordinate the policies of the governor-gener- al of Korea, the territory of Kwan- tung, the presidency of the South Manchuria railroad, and the Kwan-. tung garrison under the central control of the army.

When Patrolmen Edward Roach, John Shea, John Deeley and John PaniNone answered the first call for help from Rutland street relatives had quietened Russo down and. had forced him back into the house.

ARMY ISSUES APPEAL
Making Effort to Bring Real Joy Into Many
 Homes Christmas
SPECIAL FUND NEEDED

For many months folks have been declaring that prosperity is just around the corner. This may be so, but. here's hoping it is, but there's one thing the Salvation army does know, and that is that Christmas day is just around the corner, and there are many de- pending upon this organization for some of the seasons cheer.
 For many years the Salvation Army has appealed to the public of Waterbury for assistance in help ing the worthy poor and unfortu- nate of our community, and never once has the public failed to rally to our support and assistance. The Salvation Army appreciates this more than they are able to say.
 It is the desire of everyone to make Christmas day a day of real joy and happiness for those who are dear to them, and folks con- slider expense very little when it comes to making loved ones happy at this time, but there are great number of people in the city of Waterbury this year who will ex- perience Christmas as just a day. like all other days in the year un- less the Salvation Army or some other charitable organization con- veys the seasons greetings from the public to them.
 The Salvation Army is planning to give dinners to those who other wise would be without, clothing to cover chilly little bodies, and toys to brighten dreary little lives, and they are relying upon the public spirited citizens of Waterbury to come to their aid in this endeavor. Not only are they planning to bring this good cheer at Christmas time, but throughout the cold dreary months of winter many will be ap- plying to the Salvation Army for the necessities of life. The army takes this opportunity to raise a special fund to take care of these needs.
 Ensign Alexander Mack states that an increase of donation will be necessary to bring the amount up to last years figures, and he would appreciate whatever the public can do.
 He would like to state that all checks should be made payable to the Salvation Army of Waterbury, and mailed to 16 Abbott avenue. the Salvation Army headquarters in the city, or if the folks are un- able to mail their donations, he has placed kettles on the street corners to receive the contributions of the public.

;, City court officials were obliged to-day to take official cOgnizance of the necessity to adopt oppressive measures for alleged wife beaters. Two unusual cases were on this mornings docket and one inci- dentally was responsible for one of the severest sentences being meted out in several months.
 Salvatore Pannone, 31, of 34 South View street was charged with intoxication and breach of the peace. When Mrs. Pannone was called to the witness stand and Judge T. V. Meye observed the con- dition of her face he ordered the third charge, that of assault, being placed against Pannone. Pannone pleaded guilty to all three counts and claimed that he didn't know what he was doing when he struck his wife and young son.
 Glancing at Mrs. Pannone's bad 1y bruised face and two swollen eyes the judge remarked: "This is about the cruelest thingI have ever witnessed"
 Pannone was fined $2O and costs and given thirty days in jail and six months in jail for assault. Sen- tence was suspended on the breach of peace charge. Mrs. Pannone tes- tifed that her husband returned home last evening showing signs of having been drinking. He provoked a quarrel and then attacked her. In the melee their young son was struck.
 The second case that of Sam Russo, 35, of 37 Rutland street. The court became suspicious of Russo after hearing his wife's story of how she was beaten and threat ened with death and he ordered the accused held under bonds of $2,0O0 for tomorrow morning. In the meanwhile Russo is to be ex- amined by city physicians as to his mental condition. He claimed that he took two glasses of wine and lost all consciousness of what he was doing. Mrs. Russo, however, had a good recollection of what happened. She testified that she works every day and her husband works every other week. For the past two years he has been drink
