At st. Andrews CLUB.

Byron Carlson talked to the members
of the st. Andrews Club on Friday

aiming and analyzing lakes to ascer-
tain those most adapted for particular
kinds of fish and those not adapted
for any species of the finny tribe and
their food supply.
President Haugen presided at the

brennan GIRL
TO DEFEND SELF
AT TRIAL TODAY
Will Claim Right to Kill
Reeves For Assault

NEW BRUNSWICK, N. j., Oct.
20 (C.T.PS0.-Margaret Dren-
nan. 2O-year-old unwed mother-to-
be, is expected to proclaim from
the witness stand today her legal
and moral right" to kill Paul
Reeves, husky, married mill hand
for whose murder she is on trial.
She will ask the jur to indorse
the age-old law which says a,
woman may defend herself-even
to the point of homicide-from a
man who is attempting to crimi-
nally assault her.
TO TELL OF ASSAULT
The States case against the
pretty Iselin secretarial student,
which thus far has done little
more than corroborate her own
earlier version of the shooting, is
expected to end by early after
noon. Shortly afterward, her
lawyers expect to have her tell in
detail of Reeves Jungle beast" as
sault of her and of how he met
her nude at the door of his Iselin
home when she went there by pre-
arrangement tO discuss with him
the problem of her approaching
maternity.
A prosecution official said the
State would present to the jury
Margaret'S so-called confession.
In another quarter it was init
mated the State might withhold
the confession from the jury.
MOTHER TO TESTIFY
Prosecutor Charles M. Morris
intimated he could show the
strange final tryst was not an at
tack, but was voluntary submis-
sion on Margaret's part, but the
State has no witnesses to prove
this.
The girls kind-faced mother,
Mrs. Germaine brennan, is ex-
pected to testify for her daughter,
as one of several who will describe
the innocence Of her life before
she encountered the philandering
copper mill hand.
Stories of five witnesses, al,
though they appeared for the
State, seemed to corroborate Mar
garet's own version to police, that
her 175-pound seducer was await
ing her with anticipation of a
quick sex affair when she arrived
at his house to keep an appoint
ment, in the absence at the
movies of the mother of his two
small children.

CHINESE CHECK
NIPPON ADVANCE
NEAR SHANGHAI.
Japan's Forces Suffer
Heavily at Tachang

SHANGHAI, Oct. 20 UN.S0.
Severe fighting ragged on the
Shanghai front northwest OF
Tachang today as Chinese forces
claimed a Japanese advance had
been checked and Nipponese
bombing planes levelled new at
tacks against Marking.
Heavy casualties were inflicted
on japanese forces seeking to cap
ture Tachang, Chinese authori-
ties said. They asserted that
Chinese troops, supported by
strong reinforcements, had sue
ceeded in enclosing a Japanese
salient on three sides.
100000 WAR TOLL
Meanwhile, a japanese army
spokesman estimated 100000 Chi
nese soldiers have been killed and
a similar number wounded on the
Shanghai front since the begin
ming of hostilities in this area.
Two Japanese air raids were
launched against Marking, the
Chinese capital, this afternoon.
The main targets of the bombers
were the Chinese arsenal and air
drome. Strategic points at Pu-
kow also were bombed.
The asserted Chinese victory on
the Tachang sector followed a
quick thrust by japanese mechan.
ICED units which plunged the
whole Shanghai battle front into
Q roaring inferno of destruction.
FIGHT HAND TO HAND
Amid intense artillery barrages,
opposing infantry battled in hand
to-hand combat north of Shang-
hal as Japanese tanks led a
smashing attack at the Chinese
"Hindenburg Line" south of Went
sac Creek.
Before being checked by the
Chinese, the Japanese registered
slight gains in their drive toward
Tachang, an important Chinese
field base. Japanese corpSes lit
tered the Chinese barbed-wire de-
lenses.
Earlier Japan's air force sent
squadrons over a wide area of cen
trail and southern China. Prior to
today's two raids on Marking, the
capital was attacked five times by
bomberS which scored ten direct
hits on the Chinese airdrome.
