Maverick, D.. Texas, last night
urged formation of an effective
opposition party in the Demo-
cratic south.
In an address before the open

reactionary Republicans if moth
ing else"
He pointed out that in the
south the label Democrat" is
sufficient for election. indicating
that many persons who are elect
ed on Democratic tickets later
depart from party principles on
national issues.

lieves that we should get rid of
southern compleXes, of smelling
magnolia blossoms for the pur-
pose of government and get down
to the bare facts of the economic
rights of all American people" y
Maverick said.
Maverick also criticized the SUI
preme court, asserting that "the
test of the conStitutionality Of a
law is not that the judges do or
do not like il. The court should
not invade the field of legislation
nor pass on the wisdom of the
acts of congress

Calls for Courageous Dec.
Iaration of Convictions
for Republicans

BOSTON, Oct. 81. (UP)-Her-
bert Hoover told 1000 Massa-
chusettS Republicans last night
that he does not want "any pub
lie office" and summoned his par
ty to fight the New Deals "crcep-
ing collectivism" with new faces
and new blood"
The former president in his
first major address since the 1896
presidential campaign warned
that, "If the Republican party has
not learned the lesson that it
must produce principles and pro.
grams besides being against and
joyriding on mistakes, it has not
read history"
He called for a renascence
of the party toward an affirma-
tive program, responsive to the
needs and crises of the people.
Only part of the speech was
broadcast, Mr.. Hoover noting that
applause and laughter from the
gathering had taken up part of
the scheduled radio time.
The occasion was the semi-aD-
nual meeting and dinner Of the
Republican club of Massachusetts.
Mr.. Hoover's response to re-
ports that ne desired once more
to be candidate for president

SHANGHAI, Oct. q. (UPl.-
Chinese troops, rccoiling before
the greatest japanese offensive
of the second Shanghai war,
abandoned the whole of the
Kiangwan and Chapel areas
north Of the International Set
Element today and began AN or
derby retreat southwestward.
A Chinese spokesman admitted
that the embattled Chinese lc-
gions, numbering some 100000
men who for more than two
months successfully defended the
areas against Japan's naval and
military might, were withdraw
ing to prevent being trapped.
. They were retreating slowly,
fighting a fierce rear guard &C
ton, through the narrow bottle
neck that extends around the RIM
of the International Settlement
while japanese columns closed in
from the northeast, north and
northwest.
A large force Of Chinese was
left in Chapel to harass the Japa-
nese. They repeatedly were com
pletely cut off and were fighting
on three sides against the Japa-
nese while the L. S. marines and
other foreign troops looked on
from the south bank of Soochow
creek.
1t was pointed out, however
that the Chinese were falling
back into a strong defense line
about five miles southwest of the
present line. This trench system
was considered stronger than the
first one because it was out OF
range of japanese warshlpS an
chored in the Whangpoo river.
japanese planes roared over
the retreating Chinese, bombing
and machine-gunning, after the
Chinese lines were broken with
the capture of the long-beleaguer-
ed north station, terminus of the
Shanghai Marking railroad in
Chapel.
1t was reported without CON
firmation that a japanese plane
machine-gunned British outpost
at the end of Brennan road in
the International Settlement and
that the British returned the fire.

soldier Sunday in an air attack:
