SHANGHAI, Dec. IL. up
UndiSmayed by bittcd world crit
icism of bombing and machine
cunning United States and other
foreign ships, the leaders of ia
pans armed forces were reported
today to be preparing a grCa;
drive into South China 10 COM
plctc their conquest Of this war
ravagod nation.
Reports of the impending South
China invasion, which would bring
Japan into even gravcr collision
with British interests, came from
many quarters but could not be
officially confirmed.
Most Of them were based on the
fact that large numbers of Jap
ancsc soldiers returned to the
Shanghai area from Wuhu, fol-
lowing the capture Of Marking,
and went into billetS for trans
port to new war fronts.
The British believed that at
least $4,000 of the 100000 or
more Japanese who participated
in the great Nanking-Wuhu drive
this month we're being called back
and feared they would be sent to
South China, where Britain long
has been dominant because Of
her strategic Hongkong colony, to
cut off the fugitive Chinese Cen
trail governments last tcnuouS
routes to the sea.
Other developments in the Chi
ncSc-JapancSc war included:
Nearly all the survivors of the
L. S. gunboat Panay and the
Standard Vacuum steamers Mel
Hsia, Mel An and Mel Ping, which
were destroyed by Japanese acr-
ial bombcrs in the YangtSc river
above Marking on Sunday, had
been accounted for.
An official check by the press
officers of the U. S. flagship Au-
gusta said that three occidcntalS
were dead, 16 wounded, and all
the crew of the Panay accounted
for.
In Tokyo the Japanese public
was appalled, at the rccklessncss of
their fighters in attacking the
American and other foreign ships

IMPROVEMENT
 IN FISH PACK
 PLANNED NOW
Contamination of All Kinds to Be Eliminated
 Remedies Given

While from two to four years or more are required for the various species of salmon to reach. matur- ity, it takes only two days after catching for them to deteriorate to such a point that the law de- clares they are no longer fit for canning, Peter Dybwad of Uganik Fisheries, Inc, pointed out at a re- cent meeting of cannery superin- tendents and employees in Seattle.
 Dybwad stated that while some of the early changes are caused by autolysis of the cells, most of the destruction is caused by bacteria. He traced a load of salmon from the fishing grounds to the fish bin, pointing out the places where bac- teria gain entrance to the salmon flesh and steps which could be ta- ken to prevent contamination. Bac- teria are brought into boat-hoids by scrap fish, such as cod, hake, and founders, which feed close to the ocean bottom. Breaks in the skin of salmon admit bacteria. Both the salmon and the boat-hold thus become contaminated The dump ! ing of scrap fish at the fish eleva- tors is also regarded as a dangerous practice, as there is danger of the putrid fish floating to the surface later and contaminating the eleva- tors.
 Lower Chances
 While we cannot eliminate all bacterial contamination, it is pos- sible, by constant use of disinfec- tants, to lower considerably the chances of contamination at sev- eral important points. Sodium hy- pochlorite is the most valuable dis infectant so far found for use in the food industries. It has several desirable qualities. It kills bacteria quickly, and is also a deodorant,' ? l Dybwad stated. Tt is not poison ous in low concentration and is used extensively for the qualification of water systems. It leaves no dis agreeable ordors. And it is econ- omical. It can be bought in solu- tions of known strength which re- main stable at least for the length of the canning season.
 Tt does not, however, take the place of scrubbing and washing, which should always precede the application of the disinfectant as the latter is absorbed and rendered inactive in the presence of much or lganic matter like slime.
 What Should be Used
 "Hypochlorite should be used on |all fishboats which deliver fish to the cannery. Not once a week, but fafter every delivery After scrub bing and washing down it only takes few minutes to spray the hold. The elevator is usually the most inaccessible to regular clean ing, but at low tide with a spray gun, it should be easy to give a daily treatment of the disinfec- ant.'
 Dybwad also pointed out that Fhypochlorites are of great import ance within the cannery, stressing their value at such points as the distributor belt, fish bins, chutes, and elevators. He also discussed their value as a deodorent around the Iron Chink, shining tank, fish cutter and filters.
 After describing the successful experience of other food industries, such as meat packers, with hypoch- lorite solutions, Dybwad concluded by urging much wider use of disin- fectants in salmon canneries and fish boats to improve the quality standard of Alaska's pack.
