ATTACK HALTED

a Il n avn 8lfAA4 Err
At the same time, japanese COM
menders jubilantly declared a
fierce counter-offensive, launched
by Markings Chinese defenders
and reinforcements from the
interior against Nippon's military
steam-roller, had been halted.
They asserted the Chinese
counter-attack, sprung while the
japanese temporarily stalled to
consolidate newly-won territory,
was stopped almost as soon as it
began, and that the Japanese
armies have renewed their ad-
vance.
At the same time, reports from
Hongkong stated the japanese
air force, for the second time in
as many days, bombed the Can
ton owloon railroad in South
China near the town Of Cheklung.
Yesterday Canton itself also suf-
fered a severe aerial bombardment
that rocked the foreign conces-
sionS.
Savage fighting resulted as the
Chinese counter-movement was
launched and the battle extended
along the entire Second linden
burg Line" from Wushing north
to Kiangyin. The Chinese made
a powerful bid to halt Japanese
100 miles east Of menaced Nan
king, but apparently the effort
failed. p
Advices here indicated casual
ties in the fighting mounted into
the thousands. Meanwhile, Japa-
nese commanders remained firm
in their contention their troops
would reach Marking within two
weeks.
In addition, Nipponese spokes-
men claimed their column south
of Lake Tai captured Wushing.
It appeared this column aimed to
capture Wuhu, so miles south of
Marking, in a maneuver designed
to isolate the ancient Chinese CAPT
tai, now deserted by the govern
ment, I'm one of Japan's famous
pincer movements.

ping of products most needed by
each country, and that these con-
Siderations would overcome such
difficulties as the boycott move
ment and anti-Nazi sentiment in

FRESH HOPE TO
FIDELITY GROUP
Order to Appraisers
Indicates Speed

Treasury officials yesterday
frightened the Christmas horizon
for depositors and shareholders in
the closed Fidelity Building and
Loan Association when they re-
newed the prospect of dividend
payments in time for holiday shop
ping.
The renewed hope came after
Justice Daniel w. O'Donoghue, in
United States District Court,
signed an order appointing three
local realty experts, with wide ex-
perience in the appraisal of i'm
proved real estate, to re-appraise
the 100 parcels of improved prop
erty which are included among the
assets of Fidelity to be sold to its
successor corporation, the, First
Federal Savings and Loan Asso-
citation, before the dividends can
be paid.
USE EXISTING DATA
In fact, the wording of Justice
O'Donoghue'ss order of appoint
ment-permitting the three court
appraisers to avail themselves of
existing data and material" con-
corning the properties in making
their appraisalS-vastly increase
this possibility.
Under the order, the experts, j.
Dallas Grady, Martin r. West and
A. c. Houghton, former president
of the Washington Real Estate
Board, are not required to make
personal inspection of each parcel
of ground but may simply review
the methods by which present ap-
praisalS were made.
READY TO PAY
Through this means, the reap
praiSals can be completed within
a few weeks, it was said, and it
has already been disclosed that
new association is ready to make
immediate payments, since its
charter is already in effect and
its operating machinery set for
action.
The only obstacle is the posi-
bility that Justice O'Donoghue
may require further publication Of
court process in the case before
he signs the final order approving
the sale of the Fidelity assets.

Playground d Heads
 To Meet Tomorrow
Arrange Handicraft Exhibit in Hamilton Park Pavilion
 For Big Festival on Saturday

All local playground supervisors will meet tomorrow morning at Hamilton park pavilion to arrange for the display of handicraft work which will be on exhibition for the following day in conjunction with the departments Playground Day"
 Last year the exhibition was an excellent one, featuring examples of work done on all playgrounds during the summer. It is expected that the quality and quantity of the handicraft work which has been done during the current summer has been just as good, if not bet ter, than last year.
 The supervisors claim in justice to the children that the word handi- craft is too vague. Leather work, airplane model work, woodwork, dressmaking, sewing, stamp collect ing and mounting, nature work and several other phases of vocational guidance, say the supervisors, are words which give 8 better impress sion of what has actually been done during the summer months by the children.
 All the articles completed by the children will be placed on tables which will line the walls of the pa- vilion. Each playground has its own table and the best of the vast amount of work which has been done will be exhibited.

PERSONNEL HEAD NOT CURTAILING
Motor Vehicle Head Let Out Employees Hack
 of Appropriations

Desiring to correct false impress sions which might have been gath cred from a story in Tuesdays Democrat, Laurence 0. Smith, exe- cutive secretary of the Connecticut Merit System association, Inc, to- day stated that curtailments in per- sonnel of the state department of motor vehicles were being made by Commissioner Michael A. Connor, and not by state personnel Direc- tor Harry w. Marsh.
 The story with which Mr. Smith finds conflict dealt with the release during the past months of about 120 employees of the department; and the run1or that district oft1ces might be reduced to the lowest operating staff possible. Tn addition the ques- tioned story related the quivering attitude with which all motor veh- icle employees are watching develop ments from the key ofilces, in re- gard to future dismissals.
 MT. Smith stated in part, "The personnel director, under the law, has no authority whatsoever, over appointments or disniissals, except in his own department. Even the legibile list for the personnel of Harry Marsh,s office has been drawn up by an independent txamining committee.
 Moreover, the cases in the motor vehicle departmen come under the classification of "lay-off", and were made according to the statement of Commissioner Connor himself, for lack of appropriations The erli- ployes so dismissed, however, under the merit system law, are placed
 on a unemployment list, according to their rating, and will be subject to recall without examination, as soon as vacancies occur for which they will qualify.
 Were 1t not for the state merit system law, these employees would have been simply cast adrift."

SCHOOL TEACHER
 IS FIGHTING ON

Saugus, Mass, Aug. 1e-(Up)- Thrice refused reinsta atement by a 3-2 vote. blonde Isabelle Hallin, 25, busted high school English teacher, today pinned hope of regaining her $l25o-a-year job on 6 proposal to pack" the school committee.
 Her cousel, Daniel J. Canning, said that a citizens committee will seek a special town meeting to consider Q demand to add four members to the school committee.
 He hoped the proposal would fare better than that of President Roose. welt to increase the size of the su- preme court.
 Rumor has attributed the school committees refusal to reappoint Miss Hallin to an unconfirmed re- port that she had entertained pu- pills at e cocktail party.
