HONG KONG, Oct. 15.-Canton was
cut off from the coast today except for
devious water travel.
Chinese military officials in the
South China metropolis, goal of a
swift-driving japanese campaign in
land from Bias Bay, acknowledged
the highway between Macao and
Shekki, in the Chungshan district, had
been cut by a Japanese landing party.
Japanese were reported to have
made a sudden landing under cover
of an intense air bombardment before
local defenders could be modified.
Reports circulated here of a mys-
terious Chinese air attack on Japan's
fleet in Bias Bay. The extent of dam
age was not known.
Waichow Is Captured.
japanese troops were reported to
have captured Waichow, only 10 miles
east of Canton, after smashing through
more than 80 villages in their new
South China drive from Bias Bay.
Unofficial japanese sources said the
japanese had occupied Waichow after
fierce struggle to the southwest Of
the city, in flames since yesterday as
result of heavy aerial bombardments.
The 30-mile drive from Bias Bay
was preceded by the heaviest and
most destructive air attack ever seen
by the Kwangtung Chinese It left
scores of villages and hamlets in
ruins. Air raid casualties in Waichow
alone were estimated at 1000.
Operate From Bias Bay.
Japanese forces taking part in the
drive so far have operated from Bias
Bay, east of Hong Kong. There were
reports, however that additional
troops were landing west Of Hong
Kong.
(Tokio reports said japanese ma
rines still were landing in large
numbers in South China, but did
not specify at what point.)
Advices from Canton said Chinese
troops were concentrated in large
numbers for the defense of the South
China metropolis and were we'll

"Hands off" Business

QEST THING most leaders
~ think could be done for
business is to let it alone for
a while. This is probably what
will be done.
The new Congress probably
would not now pass a National
Labor Relations Board bill, but
neither would it repeal existing
law. 1t is likely to adopt cor
rective amendments, giving the
AFL a fairer break. John
Lewis influence received a dev-
astating series of blows in Mich
igan, Ohio and Pennsylvania;
was encouraged only by strength
of American Labor Party in
New York;
Same sympathetically correc-
tive attitude is probable toward
the wage-hour administration.
An investigation of relief will
undoubtedly be undertaken.
Definite spending limitations
are apt to be imposed upon
WPA Administrator Hopkins
and PWA Administrator IckeS,
not sharply reducing their funds
materially, but sharply limiting
their authority. Mr.. RooSevelt's
rearmament expansion will be
adopted. Some effort will be
made to break up surreptitiouS
financing of expenditures from
Social Security money, but this
move may not be successful.
Social Security pensions are apt
to be raised moderately, but not
to Townsend extentS.
Any chance of new tax
schemes to reform business is
definitely out. Also the grand
reforms which the anti-monopoly
committee were to uncover are
likely to remain in storage, ex-
cept further straightforward
antitrust action is likely.
All in all, therefore, the re-
suits seem to herald a centrist
(neither conservative nor reac-
tionary) control, and a resur-
gency of moderate thought and
action.

but will recover in few weeks.
CRemember Agriculture Secre
tary Wallace said vote against
McGill in Kansas was vote
against the Triple A program;
and he also drew the issue EN-
barrassingly clear in his home
State of Iowa.
The congressional farmers do
not know exactly where to turn
either. but they know it will be
away from radical price-tlxlng
suggestions. Situation seems to
call for a complete new survey
of farm remedies, beginning
again at the beginning, in a
dispassionate search for eau
tious, common-senSe action.
There will be no rushing into
things at the coming session.
You may depend on that.

lance in 43 floods, 81 fires, IS tor
nadoes, and in snow storms, school

PORTSMOUTH. Ohio, Nov. S.
Kentucky's poet of the soil. Jesse
Stuart, 31-year-old school teacher,
has decided he may stick by the
home folks"
II was so disguised to think that
a citizen couldn't speak his mind in
true American fashion without being
the target for an unwarranted
attack, that I vowed I'd leave Ken
lucky and make my home in Ohio,
where the people have been very
nice to me-" Stuart said.
But perhaps was bit too hasty.
Maybe I'll change my mind. It's
hard to desert the place you've been
reared In, and your father and
grandfather before YOU"
Stuart, in one of the regular edi-
torials he contributes to the Greenup

80 described Representative Joe
Bates, Democratic nominee for re-
election, as the dictator Of Greenup
County,"
The next day Stuart and Constable
Amos Allen of Greenup met in
drug store there and Allen took
issue with the editorial attack on
Bates. Then, according to Stuart,
the constable hit him three times
over the head with a. blackjack.
That incident, Stuart said, almost
prompted him to leave Kentucky.
Disorderly conduct charges filed
against Stuart and Allen were dis
missed, but Stuart's complaint ac-
cusing Allen of assault and battery
still is pending.
Stuart, unmarried, is rooming in
Fullerton, KY, across the Ohio River
from Portsmouth and commutes
daily to his high school classes here.
He has continued to contribute edi-
torials to the Citizen.

erary works is, THE Man With the

Traffic Law Observance
By Truck Drivers Asked

Better observance of fundamental
traffic rules was requested yesterday
by a special committee of the Traffic
Advisory Council in letters sent to
business and trucking organizations
by Edwin S. Hege, chairman of the
committee.
Members of the District Truckers
Association, the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association and the
Federation of Businessmen's Asso-
lions were urged to require their
motor vehicle operators diligently to
observe all traffic laws and regula-
tions with special emphasis on the
following:
Less double parking and none
when there is space at the curb, slow
speeds in alleys, stops when exiting
from alleys, slow speeds and utmost
care adjacent to Fairgrounds, school
buildings and other places where
children congregate: regard for the
rights of pedestrians. keeping near
the right curb instead of toward the
center of the highway and refrain
ing from weaving from lane to lane
of traffic.
Members of the special committee
in addition to Mr.. Hege are Col.

The tie of the two leaders in THE MOST POPULAR BABY CONTEST was broken today when Margaret Lemere of South Main street, forged ahead of Randall Saunders of Park road.
 The little leader, whose mother is an Irish girl from Dorchester, the father French, is showing the stuff that makes great race and gained 1000 votes yesterday. She now has 10,500 votes.
 Randall Gains, Too
 Randall Saunders really was out in front yesterday, without official count, for there was one subscrip- tion of the last of last week which had not been counted. If this sub scription had been counted official ly yesterday, Randall would have had 9,700 votes to Margaret's $500. Instead of being tied, $500 to $500, you sec.
 So, today, Randall has 9,7O0 votes and isn't so very far behind the leader.
 Dorothy BerardO
 Another gain was that made by Dorothy Berardo who took a 1,O0O- vote leap from 2,7O0 votes to 3,70O, maintaining fifth place just 200 votes behind Chairmaine Michaud.
 Lawrence DiPersio, who was sec- ond to the tied leaders yesterday, now is in third place.
 VNy, f,r1Iovctoy,I Nf oN,,v,n xl.z today and tomorrow only, all sub- scriptions to THE DEMOCRAT, which come under the rules of THE MOST POPULAR BABY CON- TEST, count 500 votes instead of 200.
 All Have Chance to Win
 This means that any contender has a chance to obtain great gains these last two days of the bonus vote. If you obtain only five sub scriptions to THE DEMOCRAT for your favorite baby. that would count 2,500 votes, which is as much, and more. than 12 subscriptions mean after Saturday, when the count will revert to 200 votes apiece for subscriptions.
 It is certainly the most important phase of the CONTEST for those contenders who are behind at pres ent. Because now every baby in the race has a chance to pick Up enough votes so that he or she may have very good chance of win ming one of the major prizes in- cluded in the $200 cash. loving cups, portraits: perhaps, even the $1O0 cash grand first prize.
 Better Keep Busy
 So our advice to you is to get busy this afternoon, tonight and tomorrow and bring in as many subscriptions to THE DEMOCRAT that you can before 6 o'clock to-
