nese many miles of territory they had

Wedge Driven by Chinese.
Chanpaling is behind the japanese
lines, halfway between Nanking and

to the north at Hwaiyuan, Linhwai-
kwan and Pengpu
These guerrilla operations all with

In territory conquered during the
Japanese victorious northward drive

forced Japanese to withdraw from a
25-n1ile advance north Of the Hwai.
Once again japanese forces were
fighting desperately to cross the
stream, with Chinese armies resisting
them along the north bank.
In other Anhwei Province areas
guerrillas were harassing japanese In
daily sallies.
Ra1ing and Burning Houses.
Japanese were said to be razing and
burning houses and scattering in
habitants of villages to stamp out the
guerrilla warfare.
In Southern Shantung Province,
Chinese asserted they were holding up
successfully the japanese drive south
ward toward the Lunghai.
West Of Peiping, japanese troops

Bucharin talked about removing
Linin"
"How?" asked Vishinsky.
Up to physical destruction" Ivan.
of answered.
Plot Dates to 1928.
Bucharin confessed that he had
planned, with Alexis I. Rykoff, former
premier and No. on the list of
accused, an illegal counter-revolution-
ary organization as far back as 1928.
But he denied he knew anything
about spying for foreign powers.
Seeking to confirm Ivanoff's testi-
n1ony, Vishinsky asked him:
Did you know anything about ne
eotiations with capitalist countries?"
Yes, but I knew nothing about
connections with their secret services" i"
Bucharin replied.
1vansf testified today he plotted to
turn Russia's Northern forests over to
English magnates as compensation for
British aid in the overthrow Of the
Soviet regime.
The lumber concessions were to be
granted to British firms, Ivanoff said,
under plans drawn by his predecessor,
Loboff.
Another defendant, A. P. Rosen-
goltz, as commissar for foreign trade,
'sold the lumber to England at a
tremendous loss to prove the center
had power" the witness testified.
1T was sort of deposit on ac-
count"
Active as Spy.
Ivanoff, who was chief of the
6oviet's highly important timber in
dustry up to few months ago, eagerly
told his Judges he was a former
Czarist informer who joined the
bolshevists as provocateur.
Slight, sandy-haired and hawk
nosed, the eX-commiSsar became q
Czarist secret police informer. he said,
as q high school student at Tula at
the age of II, and later as a medical
student In Moscow, spying in both
places on striking fellow students.
He joined the Bolshevist party in
1914 on orders of his czarist chief.
Like q crow smelling carrion I
Joined the Left Communists" Ivanoff
testified. The Left Communists were
led by Bucharin.
AS Bucharln organized opposition
within the Communist party, including
bands to murder Lenin, Ivanoff said
he went along with the Bucharin pro-
gram.
Il was guilty of the worst crimes as
q member of the rightist bloc" was
1vanoff's opening remark when he be-
gan his testimony, in which he said
he was ready to reveal all my crimes
and those Of Others"
Tells Of Assassination Plot.
P. T. lubaroff, former vice commits
sar Of agriculture, testified to his par
ticipation in a plot in 1886 to assas-
sinate Premier Vyacheslaf Molotoff
He confessed he had been a spy
since 1885, preparing information to
be sent to Germany. He said the
assassination of Joseph Stain, War
Commissar Klementi E. Voroshilofi
and Lazarus M. Kaganovich, COM
missar for heavy industry, also had
= ben discussed, but only the killing of
Molotoff appeared technically pos
sible."
A former provincial official OF
Czarist police named Vasylieff took
the stand, the first witness in the
trial. to corroborate zubaroff's story
that ne had been a Czarist police
agent in 1908, 1910 and 1916 under
assumed names
How do you remember so well?'
vishinsky asked the elderly witness.
II have to. 1t is my job," Vasyliefl
replied.

Public Mass Meeting Set
On Jews Persecution

The Interdenomination Minis
ters' Alliance of Washington and
Vicinity will sponsor a public mass
meeting Sunday, November q. at
the Lincoln Congregational Temple
ito issue a protest against unwar-
ranted persecution of the Jews in
Germany"
The meeting was announced in a
statement signed by DR.. r. w.
Brooks, chairman of the groups
Social Action Committee, which
was issued after a special executive
session at the Twelfth Street Y. w.
G. A.
In the statement the ministers
said: I'VE deplore deeply the reign
OF terror that is being enacted in
Germany today. Every sadistic in
stinct seems to have been let loose,
and definite attempt is being made
to destroy a hapless people. A
paganism with recrudescence of
the jungle has 50 outraged the
decencies of humanity that we stand
aghast that even other nations can
remain calm in the presence of such
q tragedy.
"As a minority group we feel more
keenly the plight of the victims of
this Nazi barbarism and pray that
the conscience of all civilized ma
tions may so revolt against this
inhumanity and sacrilege that no
nation in the future will dare at
tempt such outrages again."

Types Of Operations
Possible on Eyes
To Be Discussed
Drs. Dessoff and Moss
Speak Today Before
Institute Here

Eye injuries and the types of eye
operations now possible were to be
discussed this afternoon by DR..
Joseph Dessoff and DR.. L. Connor
Moss before the Institute on Con-
servation Of Vision. The session was
scheduled for 3 o'clock. with DR..
Charles B. Campbell presiding.
Inability of a person to see well
after dark, although his vision might
test as perfect under daylight con-
ditions. may be the result of vita
min A deficiency in the body, DR..
Benjamin Rones told the institute
yesterday afternoon. He explained
that an insufficient amount of this
vitamin makes night driving difficult
for many who are not troubled by
their eyes when the degree of illumi-
nation is high.
The speaker pointed out that
numerous eye disorders are not local
disturbances but evidences of
more general bodily ailment. Among
the diseases which affect the eye
are toxemia of pregnany, amemias,
leukemias. arterial spirosis. syphilis,
thrombosis and such common ills as
measles and sinus trouble, he said.
DR.. Rones emphasized that blood
disorders in advanced stages could
be diagnosed more quickly through
methods other than eye examina-
ton, but declared that use of the
opthalmoscope by general practi-
TONERS was being encouraged as an
aid in detecting numerous blood all
ments before they caused any symp-
toms in other parts of the body.
He warned that cataracts still are
being induced through use of GER
tain reducing preparations by
women because present food and
drug laws do not prevent marketing
of such reducers as contain dinitro-
phenol.
The institute will conclude its
program of meetings tomorrow with
addresses on Eye Health Problems

fred Hathaway. associate director of
the National Society for the Preven-
ton of Blindness, and on "Preven-

climax with a little dynamite In 1t.
I had him quit while the crowd was
still cheering-not talk them back

Of the State of New Jersey and the

looted the public treasury and which
has enforced a reign of virtual die
tatorship. We submit further that
John Millions character, associations
and the transactions in which he is
engaged as an attorney or while hold
ing public Office are such that he
fails to meet the standards of qualifi-
cations requisite for membership in
the Senate"
The Senate is the sole judge Of
the qualifications of its members. BY
a two-thirds' vote it can oust a men,
ber Of the Senate after he has been
seated. The Senate has exercised
this power Of Judgment on the quail
f1cations Of members or applicants for
membership on number of occasions.
Lorrimer Was Ousted.
In 1912 the Senate ousted Senator
Lorrimer Of Illinois by a majority
vote, declaring that his election by
the Legislature was invalid. This
action was taken after vote to "ex-
pei Mr.. Lorrimer had failed. Frank
L. Smith Of Illinois and the late Will
liam s. Ware Of Pennsylvania were
both denied the right to be seated in
the Senate when improper and ex-
cessive expenditures in their primary
campaigns and elections campaigns
were charged against them. The
elections were held in 1926, although
the action OF the Senate took place
in 1928 and in 1929.
The demand for an Investigation,
if granted. would mean a congress
sional inquiry into the conduct of af-
fairs in Jersey City by Mayor Hague,
who is a vice chairman OF the Demo-
cratic National Committee and re-
garded as the political boss" of New
Jersey. For the charges made against
Mr.. Milton are all bound up with
charges OF corruption against Mayor
Hague. They are listed in the peti-
ton, and include many alleged trans
actions for real estate, in which it
charged that Mr. Milton acted as pay
master for Mayor Hague, using mis-
own checks to make payment, and
that he was reimbursed by Mr.. Hague
with cash.
Cites Ban on C. 10.
Referring to the fact that Mayor
Hague has denied the c. I. o. the
right to enter Jersey City to organize
workers. the petition said the city was
under virtual dictatorship of Mr.. Mil
ton and the Mayor, which has denied
civil and constitutional rights to citi-
zens Of New Jersey and Of the United
States land which has violated the
constitutional guarantee of a repub-
lican form Of government. The exist
ence Of this dictatorship has recently
become matter Of wide public knowl-
edge and self-confession. This die
tatorship, however, has been in exist
ence for the last 20 years."
1t was charged. too, that "subservi-
ent grand juries issue indictments and
Judges. frequently former personal
counsel to Mayor Hague or corporation
counsel Of Jersey City, impose severe
sentences and issue sweeping injunc-
tions against any who dare to oppose
this dictatorship"
Mr.. Milton, the petition said, was
appointed by Gov Moore, who was
elected at an election where illegal and
corrupt tactics were practiced."
