Japanese Reported Es-
tablishing Sales Of
ficer In Conquered
Cities To Force Hand
ling Of Jap Goods BY
Chinese

Shanghai, Oct. (AP)-Amel-
lean and British Chamber of Com
merce in Shanghai met today to dis
cuss united front AGAINST Japanese
efforts to monopolize China's trade.
The move came as the Chinese
press reported Japanese firms were
rapidly establishing sales officers in
all conquered cities and towns to
handle goods, while foreign trade is
blocked by the Japanese militia.
Reports of American commercial
and cultural interests in China ex-
planned that the United States would
get a satisfactory reply to the Oc-
tober 6 protest to Japan.
A statement issued by the Shanghai
American association in conjunction
with the Shanghai American Cham
Der of Commerce said unless such a.
reply was forthcoming soon they hop
ed the United States would promptly
bring pressure to insure cessation of
Japanese discrimination against the
United States.
Failure now to secure correction
of Japanese abuses of long estab.
lished rights in China" was likely to
further Japanese encroachments and
bring trouble with the United States.

Washington, Oct. 29.--(AP)-Chair-
man Dies, Democrat, Texas, chairman
of the committee investigating un-
American activities, announced let
ters of President Roosevelt and others
in an effort to show that l"they have
refused to cooperate his investigat-
ing in communism and wastage. Dies
said he would make the disclosures
Monday night at 10:45 o'clock over
the Mutual System. He expected to
reply especially to criticism by Presi-
dent Roosevelt of the House Com
mittee handling charges against, gov
eminent.
At the same time Dies said. he had
received telegram from Representa-
tive Dempsey, Democrat, New Mex
leo, threatening to resign from the
committee, if the witnesses were al
lowed to tear down the characters
of men from the outside" Dempsey
and Representative Healer are said
to have both asked the committee to
cease hearings until after the cleo
ton.
Other developments:
$11,50O,000 worth of top state and
federal jobs will be handed out by
voters a week from Teuseday.
How much it will cost the candidates
and supporters to win or lose these
jobs is largely a matter of conjecture;
but if the spending runs true to past
performances it will cost at least Sill
100000.
The expense that power companies
have agreed to carry out in key manu-
featuring centers will help eliminate
sickness already uncovered in the adj
ministration's study of natioha de-
Tense needs.
Among others, are a shortage Of
skilled airplane mechanics, the rail-
roads difficulties, and what the army
considers an inadequate present sup
ply of some materials which would
be needed in time of war.

Segre River Is Crossed at
BaIoguer in One of

HENDAYE. France, April 1.-THE
Spanish insurgents crossed the Segre
River at Balaguer in one OF the
bloodiest battles OF the Catalonia Of
fensive and put themselves in posi-
ton today for direct assault on Bar
celona.
Under cover Of heavy artillery fire
and airplane bombardment, the main
body of Gen. Jose Moscardo's Navar-
rese and Galician troops effected the
crossing on pontoon bridges.
Unexpectedly strong resistance from
government forces imperiled the
crossing operation time and again, but
finally the defenders were driven from
their lines. Bayonet attacks enabled
the insurgents to consolidate their
position east of the river with 4-mile
thrust along the road leading to the
provisional capital of government
Spain-75 miles away. Balaguer is IA
miles northeast of Lerida, which has
been quiet sector since its capture

While Moscardo's central body Of
troops prepared the way for the push
on Barcelona, other insurgent forces
along the f1anks of the 135-mile Cata-
lonia front continued their efforts to
cut the remaining chunk Of govern
ment territory in Northeast Spain
from the rest of the world.
To the north, insurgents advancing
rapidly through the mountainous ter
rain adjacent to the French border
were within striking distance OF the
Boniagua ridge, dominating the entire
Valley Of Aran.
1nsurgent gains in this section, less
than 10 miles from France, accele-
rated the flight of Spanish government
refugees, soldiers and civilians alike,
across the frontier More than 5000
refugees reached French frontier ham,

number were expected today.
Rebels Take Hill Positions.
Far to the south, between Tortosa,
where stubborn government resistance
has checked a threatened break
through to the sea, and San Mateo. the
insurgents occupied hill positions from
which they were able to look down
on the sea from at least dozen points.

The advance guard of Gen. Miguel
Aranda's army, swinging to the south

Only the lowlying coastal hills were
