CHINESE TO MAKE
STAND BELOW RIVER

SHANGHAI, Jan. II. tUP).-
Generalissimo Chang kai-Shek
today poured thousands of Chi
ncse troops into a heavily-forti-
fled line south of the Yellow
river, studded with concrete pill
boxes, to stem Japan's drive to
cut off North China.
A crucial battle between the
massed armies OF. China and ia
pan was In prospect following re-
ports of the landing of Japanese
troops at Lienyunkang, seaport
and eastern terminus Of the
Lunghai railroad.
The Lienyunkang landing
threatened Hsuchow, important
railroad junction for the north
south Tientsin-Nanking railroad
and the east-west Lunghai line,
from three directions.
The harbor works at Lienyun-
kang were blown up by the Chi
nese a month ago, impeding Japa-
nese movements.
With the new column, however,
the Japanese high command was
expected to drive along the rail-
road and against the formidable
Chinese defenses.
Chinese reports said that groups
of Chinese forces, disconnected
for weeks and fighting guerrilla
warfare to harass the Japanese
push from the north, had formed
q horseshoe line curving from
Changhsieng in Chekiang province
south through Kawangten and
then north through Hsuancheng
to Wantze, a suburb of Wuhu and
thence to the Yangtse river.
A lull in the battle around the
hills of Wuhu, where the Chinese
yesterday reported the capture OF
Hohsien repeatedly permitted the
japanese to bring up lO,OOO re-
Inducements.
The Chinese asserted that the
horseshoe line formed blockade
against Japan's central China
drive on Nanchang.

SMASH EFFORT
TO CUT LYNCH
BILL DEBATE
Early Shelving Of Measure
Predicted; "Big Navy"
Bill Reported
JACKSON NOMINATED
FOR SOLICITOR GEN.

WASHINGTON, Jan. q. CUP
Senate filibusterers, led by Garter
Glass, D., Va, today smashed the
attempt to limit debate on the
anti-lynching bill and predicted
the controversial measure soon
would be shelved.
The motion to invoke the clio
ture rule failed when 1t did not
get the necessary two-thirds ma
joritv vote.
Failure of the gag rule motion
will allow the filibustercrs to con-
tinue talking indefinitely to pre-
vent a vote on the antl-lynchlng
measure. ..
The gag proposal, submitted by
Sen. NJ. NJ. Nicely, D., w. Va, was
described by flibuster leaders as
"the last gasp" of supporters of
the bill. They predicted that after
it's failure the bill would be laid
aside within a week.
But Sen. Robert F. Wagner,
DEM, N. Y, co-author with Sen.
Frederick Van Mugs, Dem, Ind,
of the bill, refused to admit de-
feat.
He said that the fight for pass
age would be kept up under any
circumstances and that he would
oppose a motion to lay it aside.
It was generally believed, how
ever, that the pressure of other
business would soon convince a
majority to vote to crop the bill.
When the senate meets at noon,
the proponents and opponents ,of
the cloture proposal will equally
divide an hour of debate. The

1t is understood that advocates
of a sales tax will fight any ef'
fort to enact an income tax, how
ever small, and will vigorously
push for the per cent sales tax
recommended by the Commission.
ers' tax advisory committee.
FIGHT ON PLAN
Opponents of the income tax
point to the action of Congress
in the first session of this Con-
gress when the present tax law
came to the floor. At that time,
the income tax recommended by
the tax committee was vigorously
fought by both Democrats and Re
publicans who saw an effort to
tax themselves and their constitu.
ents.
At a meeting of the fiscal af-
fairs subcommittee yesterday it
was pointed out by several mem
bers that Congressman will object
to an income tax on the ground
that their incomes as we'll as theil
secretaries and clerks would be
taxed unless Federal exemptions
we're written into the law.
If these exemptions are permit
ted, opponents point out, the bill
will lose it's effectiveness as a
means of raising revenue.
PURPOSE OF DELAY
The purpose of writing an In
come tax into the proposed meas
ure to be effective one year from
the date of its enactment, accord
ing to Representative Everett M
'Dirksen (R) of Illinois, chief in
come tax advocate on the com
mittee, is to test its practicability
during the interim from the time
of it's passage until it becomes eff.
fective.
1t is not yet definite, however
that the income tax will be made
a part of the proposed measure,
This is matter which is now
being discussed by the fiscal af'
fairs subcommittee.
In any event, either advocates
or opponents of the income tax
will be given full opportunity to
air their views when the subcom'
mittee begins public hearings
