CHINESE SUPT. ASSASSINATED

(Continued from Page D release two French soldiers involved in a street brawl outside cafe fre- quented by embassy guards of all nations. But the Japa nese contin- ued to detain the soldiers. In Tsingtao, the Japanese consulate general was reported to have pro- tested to British authorities against an incident in which a British sail or allegedly hauled down and trampled the Japanese flag in a hotel.
 Tension Is Ea.yed
 The general tension between for eign and Japanese auth orities here eaSed, however after the arrival of Maj. Kenji Doihara who reportedly had instructions from Tokyo to smooth out friction with third pow CTS.
 Diplomatic representatives be- lievcd that the firm stand taken by Col. Charles F. B. Price of the ma- rines probably averted more serious terrorism since it was known that he urged the British to cooperate in the rigorous suppression of all breaches of peace. The Japanese interpreted this as a firm stand in the defense of the rights of settle ment authorities.
 New Japanese Offensive
 Japanese forces, their drive on Hankow halted by the strongest Chinese defenses of the war, claimed major victories today in a new of- fensive in North China. The new offensive started in southern Shansi Province, northwest of Hankow and above the Yellow River The Japa- neso were attempting to drive through PuchoW toward Sianfu, cap- 1tal or Shensi Province through which Russian supplies are routed from the north to HankoW.
 A Chinese spokesman said the Japanese forces advancing from Lirtsin, in southern Shansi, were halted at KaoLachen, between Lint sin and the Yellow River, where the Chinese were putting up staunch resistance. Japanese military re- ports said detachments were press- ing toward the last Chinese defenses north of the Yellow River protecting Tungkwan, the gateway to Sian" Tho reports admitted that the de- lenses were strong.
 PuchO to be Difficult
 A Japanese military spokesman agreed with foreign observers that the capture of Prlchow would be dif- ficult. Three lines of tank traps and machine gun posts are stretched out on the north side of the Yellow River. Tn addition, Puchow has an with a canal which runs into the river.
 Tn addition to being halted in the upper Yangtse valley, Japanese forces were beset by thousands of Guerrilla fighters in all captured provinces. In Shantung Province, taken this spring, the guerrilas claimed they had recaptured Tsinan, the provincial capital. The report was not confirmed by Chinese mill tary authorities.
 United Press reports from Tent sin yesterday said that trains run- ming to Tsinan had returned.
 In Peiping, Japanese spokesman, admitted that several hundred Ch!- nese troops had penetrated" Tsi- nan, but claimed they were defeated. Chinese authorities reported that the troops had scaled the walls Of Tsinan, but made no mention Of what occurred afterWard.

THREE GYPSIES
 UNDER ARREST

Weston, Conn.,, Aug. 18-(UP)-- Three gypsies were accused today of assaulting and attempting to rob Mrs. William D. OSborne, social leader, in the garden of her Valley Forge road home.
 Mrs. Osborne complained they drove up in an automobile and asked for a drink of water. When she returned from the house with a pitcher and some glasses, she said, one of the gypsies held her while another tried to grab her purse. They were frightened away by her screams.
 Apprehended later, they gave their names as Steve Moore, 28, his wife, Marie, g, and his sister, Margaret, 30. They will be ar- raigned in town court Monday night.

at 38 Bank street, charged in his letter-the basis of the libel action that Chairman Crary, Tom Kelly, Dennis Clancy and MT. Leary were backing this move with Hartley and Tobin so that the old machine would again control all Democratic voters in the city"
 Defense of CuIhane
 The letter was written by Scanlon in defense of Senator George T. Gull hane, Independent Democratic can- didate for mayor in the last election. A previous letter to The Democrat by Edward c. Kiernan, member of the Independent Democratic town committee from the 18th district had charged that Culhane was "all through" as the leader of the Inde- pendent Democratic faction in Wat erbury.
 Kiernan's communication was prompted by rumors that Culhane intended to enter an Independent Democratic ticket in the state elec- tions this year. Kiernan stated that there would be no such ticket en- tered this fall.
 Answer to Kiernan
 In answer to Kiernan, Scanlon, in his allegedly libelous letter wrote Wake up, MT. Kiernan, we organ ized this party in opposition to the old gang and don't let Tobin and Hartley fool you again. You are to be pitied for such a childish piece of political bunk. And If, as you were quoted, MT. Kiernan, there will be no Independent Democratic ticket in the field this fall, you may be right, but that does not mean that there will not be an Independent party. So let this serve as a no- tice, MT. Kiernan, for Tobin, Hart ley, Crary, Kelly, Hayes, Leary -
 Scanlon's letter then proceeded to praise the activities of Senator Culhane. The Scanlon letter sub- stantiated rumors to the effect that the Independent Democratic fac- tion was undergoing a series of in- ter-factional differences, and that a large number of the Independents were returning to the regular Dem- ocratic fold.
 Summa Issues Warrant
 Although Prosecutor Summa is not on duty in city court this week he issued the warrant, because the matter was called first to his atten- tion immediately after the letter was published. He said today that he believed he would appear in city court tomorrow, at which time Scanlon is expected to be ar raigned.
 Prosecutor Mitchell G. Meyers is handling all city court cases this week, however. It is presumed that he will present the charge against Scanlon when the latter is arraigned before Judge Theobald E. Conway tomorrow.

Stryker stressed the point that Weinberg was a confessed gangster, and asked him whether he valued his liberty less than a sum of money?" to infer that he had been promised freedom for testifying against Hines.

STOCKS MOVE UP
with CHRYSLER
AS BELLWETHER
Gains Small, However,
And Trading Quiet
BY LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, May 6 GN.S).
The stock market moved irregu-
larry higher in quiet dealings to-
day, with price changes in most
instances of insignificant propro-
tionS.
Prime stimulus was the surpris-
ing first-quarter showing of Chrys-
Ter, which reported a net of 48
cents common share against gen.
eral predictions of substantial
deficit, and voted a dividend of
so cents.
LIGHT PROFIT-TAKING
Stocks, mixed at the opening,
climbed under the lead of Chrys-
Ter, which was up close to points
at one time. Light profit-taking
was attracted later; cutting down
early gains and bringing a sprink-
ling of minus signs through the
list.
Utilities were prominent on the
upside. North American, Consoli-
dated Edison. Public Service and
Commonwealth Edison each adj
vanced about a point at their
forenoon highs.
Du Pont was UP 17s points for
time, but had most of this wiped
out before noon. Allied Chemical
also was up more than a point at
its top.
Coca-Cola registered gain of 2
points and Eastman Kodak half as
much. Westinghouse dropped all
of its better than a point ad-
vance.
STEELS ADVANCE
U. S. Steel ran fractionally high
er for a short time. Bethlehem
and Youngstown were moderately
improved.
Most coppers, rails, rubbers
and farm implements gained lit
tie ground. Mail orders were
mixed, with Montgomery Ward
weak, while aviations slipped some
what after -chalking up modest
gains.
Commodities were reactionary.
Bonds displayed a generally firm
tone.

Representative Ross Collins CD
