 BEAT NAUCATUCK
 IN EXCITING TILT

All-Torrington referred 10 as "The Thundering Herd," lived up to that sobriquet yesterday after noon at the Naugatuck Recreation field where they took 13 to 6 fall out of All-Naugatuck in an interesting tilt played before a fair-sized crowd. The New Cityites, showing one of the heaviest semi pro teams in the Nutmeg State, outplayed the home club and used their reserve material at intervals throughout.
 Radzcvich, Kelley Excel.
 Vic Radzevich, who performed with the Rubber Towners last sea- son, was the main cog in the win ners offense, his accurate passing and long-distant booting playing an important factor in the triumph. In the first period PadZeich heaved a 2O-yard areial to Billy Szezkow- ski who romped 10-yards to a score, evading a would-be tackler. Vic's educated toe swelled the total to seven: "Babe" Kelley, plunging fullback, tore through Naugys line at will and gave the victors four of their seven first downs.
 Benvenuti Scores.
 Augie Benvenuti registered Tor ringtons second marker in the third quarter on a plunge from the g. yard line after intercepting a pass and being downed on that stripe.
 Naugy Acrials Work.
 Tn the same period, Naugy re- sorted to forward passing. Taking the ball on their own 30-yard line, Emmett Carroll shot a long pass which Tony Beloski knocked right into the hands of Charley Lodge. Carroll then passed to Monty Mon tague for another first down. Sul- livan failed to gain through the line so Carroll heaved another aerial to Charley Lodge who went over for Naugy's first and last touchdown.

BORAH. PAY CUT.
PLAN LAGS

Three legislative proposals to
slash Government salaries, known
as the Borah bills, were still
buffeted about by the Senate 10
day because several committees
SHE'D at taking jurisdiction over
them. Two attempts to refer the
bills have been made.
Both Chairman Jones, OF the
Appropriations Committee. and
Chairman Smoot, of the Finance
Committee, assert their respective
groups are too tied up with other
affairs to study the controversial
subject of affecting economies
through salary cuts.
It is proposed by Senator
Borah, that all members OF
Congress should take a 20 per cent
cut in pay in these times OF
Treasury deficits; that members
of the Federal Farm Board should
receive only $1,000 per year in
stead OF $4,000; and that all Gov
ernment officials receiving the so
called higher salaries should be
subject to a graduated scale OF
reduction, according to salaries
above $1,000.

II Jap War Planes
Raid Native Shanghai
By John GOETTE

SHANGHAI, Feb. 3-GN.SO
Twelve big japanese planes this
morning carried out the greatest
air raid on the Chapel district of
Shanghai since Japanese marines
were landed to occupy the native
city.
At the same time, Japanese and
Chinese guns engaged in an ar
tillery duel.
The air bombardment started
at 1920 and lasted 40 minutes. At
exactly noon the planes headed
down the river for the airplane
carriers.
Watched From Roof
The International News Service
correspondent watched the at.
tack from the roof of the eight
story Cathay Hotel in the heart
Of the International Settlement.
I had a clear view of the man
euvering planes, heard the bombs
explode in the densely populated
native city, and saw great clouds
of smoke rising from burning
buildings.
Circle Alien Zone
The planes repeatedly circled
over the international Settlement
en- route to the Chapel district.
The Chinese put up a feeble
attempt to bring down the Nip
ponese bomberS with machine-gun
fire and artillery pieces. The
bombers ignored their efforts.
A heavy pail of smoke was ris-
ing above Shanghai shortly after
noon from the blazing Chapel
area.
Calm Among Foreigners
At noon a fresh blaze broke
out behind the central postoffice,
we'll within the international Set
tlement apparently set by sparks
from buildings bombed in Chapel.
From my vantage point on the
hotel roof I could see traffic NOV
ing in the streets of the Interna-
tional Settlement below as if
nothing was happening. ..

Additional impetus to attacks

action in allocating a school for
colored children at Rock Creek
Church Rd. and Allison st. N. E.,
will be placed before the school
body, it was announced today by
Harry o. Hine, secretary of the

Protests from two citizens asso-

number Of attacks on the boards
action to more than a dozen.
The Federation of Citizens AS

erection of a colored school in a

The school protested is to be
constructed for a number of col

borhood, which, it is claimed is
predominantly white. The Dis

CHAPEL s " { PT
BY SHELLS
AND FIRE
Entire Area Near Extinction
From Flames Caused
By Artillery Duel
BY DIXON H0STE

SHANGHAI, Feb. g., $40
p. m. (I.N.S.).-The Interna-
tional Settlement was bril-
liantly illuminated tonight by
flames which threatened to
engulf completely the Chapel
area, scene of a terrific
artillery duel between Chinese
and japanese forces.
Large sections Of the native
Chinese area around huge Japa-
nese cotton mill just across the
international border in the vicln-
ity Of Brennan Road were IN
flames.
Jan Marines Blamed
Another large fire broke out be-
hind the central postoffice within
the boundaries Of the settlement.
It was believed started by Japa-
nese marines in an effort to rout
out snipers in the northern Dix
well Road area. The blaze was
under control shortly before this
dispatch was filed.
Rokusan Gardens, a favorite
japanese amusement resort, were
gutted by flames. japanese
claim the fire had been set by
Chinese troops, but it was believed
ignited by the Japanese them
selves to cover a retreat by a part
Of their forces.
A large section of Chapel in
the neighborhood of the Tientun-
gan Station was in flames. This
and other blazes set by the Japa-
nese threatened northern Chapel
with extinction.
A survey of the japanese lines
along the Chapel front this after
noon revealed a slight contrac-
ton instead of an advance,
which had been expected as a
result of this mornings terrific
engagement.
The fighting had lulled at $50
this evening.
Japanese military headquarters
announced. that their renewed
aerial bombardment of Chapel
was prompted by the need of
destroying the Chinese Stokes
mortar entertainments, which had
riddled the Japanese lines with
heavy artillery fire.
JapS Unable to Gain
japanese troops quartered near
the Titungan station carried out
a successful sortie against the
Chinese and then withdrew to
their own lines. Foreign OBJ.
servers in the battle area ex.
pressed belief the Japanese were
unable to advance against the
strong Chinese resistance and are
now awaiting reinforeements be.
fore launching a new offensive.
A check-up showed that a dozen
shells fell in the international
Settlement during the battle. A
few buildings were damaged, but
there were no casualties.
