The measure, which would authorize

"AS soon as the tax bill and the an

The construction bill probably can be

SHANGHAI, China, February 10
Tearing acr05s no mans land in an old
fashioned cavalry charge, Chinese
squadron was reported to have inflicted
heavy casualties today on the Japanese
who have been laying waste to Chapel
with artillery.
1t was an incident in a comparatively
quiet day. The big guns were not firing
and although machine guns were in
action it was apparent that both sides
were shifting their lines and no one
knew what was going to happen next.
Ove- at Woosung, where the Japanese
had been trying to blast the enemy
loose from the forts at the Whangpoo
NarroWs. the action also had subsided
somewhat late this afternoon.
Sometime in the night the Chinese
had hoisted their barred flag Of
red, yellow. blue, white and black. It
was on the highest liagpole in town and
the Japanese gunners were concentrat-
ing their fire on it.

Meanwhile the Chinese were REIN

but Chinese machine gunners were not
making the job any too easy.
Toward dusk a feet of trucks backed
up to the docks on the outskirts of
Shanghai and assisted in the unloading
of additional field guns which apparent
ly were to be used against Woosung
There were indications that part Of
the Chinese main force had been taken
out of the Chapel lines and sent over
to Woosung. Foreign observers found
that only two lines of trenches were
manned in the north station sector
where heretofore there have been three
or four. The nearest Chinese support
lines were half mile to the rear.
In the international settlement there
was considerable apprehension and
United States Marines took part with
other foreign units in building addi-
tional sandbag barricades and barbed
wire defenses. The guard was increased
at several strategic points along the
boundaries and in the French conces-

PRESIDENT ACTS
TO RELIEVE BANKS
Broadening Base of Paper
for Smaller Institutions
Plan After ParIey.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
President Hoover began a move today
to liberalize Federal Reserve Bank rules
to make eligible to rediscount paper
held by small banks, which is not now
capable of being turned into cash.
In series of bipartisan conferences
with leaders of both houses Of Congress,
he outlined his plans and it was agreed
that Democrat, Senator Glass Of Vir-
ginia, would introduce such a bill later
in the day.
BY broadening the base of paper ell
gible to rediscounting, it is the belief
of the Government financial leaders
that immediate aid will be extended to
small banks that have borrowed to
their limit on eligible paper, but have
other good security. The emergency
legislation now in mind, however, would
be only temporary affair.
To Announce Program.
President Hoover will announce the
program Immediately.
Three officials Of, the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation took part in the
conferences today. They were Acting
Secretary of the Treasury Mills, Eu-
gene Meyer and Charles G. Dawes,
president of the corporation.
The corporation is considering selling
its securities in small denominations to
the public. This would absorb some of
the money the President hopes to bring
back into circulation through his anti
boarding campaign.
The Senators called to the White
House this morning were Glass, Wat
son. Republican, Indiana; Robinson,
Democrat. Arkansas; Walcott, Republi-
can, Connecticut; Townsend, Republican,
