CHINESE BATTLE

Strong Japanese Column Is
Threatening Vital East

By the Associated Press.

SHANGHAI, March 31.-Hand-to-
hand fighting ragged in the streets Of
Taierchwang today as the 17-day
battle between Japanese and Chinese
along the Tientsin-P -Pukow Railway
went on without decisive result.
Taierchwang, located on 6 narrow
gauge branch railway east Of the main
line, was in flames.
Meanwhile, q new japanese threat
at the vital east-west Lunghai Railway
corridor was directed from the south
in hitherto unscathed North Kiangsu
province.
Foreign military observers said q
strong japanese column had advanced
more than 80 miles from Nantung-
chow, on the Yangtze River north of
Shanghai, since March II, and was
moving against Liuchwang, 100 miles
south Of the Lunghai.
Observers considered the maneuver
important as it offered a threat to
crush Chinese defenders at the Grand
Canal between the column moving up
from Nantungchow and the south
bound Japanese forces locked In a
stalemate along the Tientsin-Puk
Railway.
Along the rail stretch, from Lin
cheng on the north-south Tientsin-
Pukow line to Taierchwang, only 20

Predictions of Landslide

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 8.-Amid
unprecedented precautions against
fraud and disorder, Pennsylvanians
voted today their verdict on the
first Democratic State administra-
ton in A years.
Despite a turn to colder weather,
party leaders predicted more than
100000 voters would turn out at
the polls between 7 am. and pm.
Final unofilcial registration to-
tailed 1855, ,698 and gave Republicans
2.375,3 and Democrats 2,214,062.
Early voting throughout Pennsyl-
vania was reported as very heavy"
and rapid. In some precincts the
rush more than doubled the first
hour voting in the spring primary.
No disorders were reported.
Campaign commanders from the
Democratic and Republican camps
predicted Landslide" victories. Both
mentioned majorities of 250000.
They attributed the expected
heavy vote to interest stirred by
months of a blistering campaign
spotted with Investigations, q cross
fire OF charges and by accusations
of boss control behind both parties.
Nationwide significance was at
tached to the Pennsylvania vote by
observers, who said it might reflect

In the largest Alexandria ward,

result was light.

Democrats Expect Full Slate.
1t was held practically certain by
political leaders that Virginia would
return a full Democratic slate of
nine Representative to the House
today. While Republicans have eX-
pressed hope" in at least two of the
three contested districts, independ-
ent surveys give these areas to the
Democrats.
No contests have been staged in
six districts. The three in which
Republican opposition is offered are ::
Sixth district. where Representa-
tive Clifton A. Woodrum of Roanoke
Democratic incumbent for the last
l6 years. is opposed by Fred w. Nc
Wane, Republican. OF Lynchburg.
Representative A. Willis Robert
son OF Lexington. Democratic in
cumbent for the last six years. is op-
posed by Charles c. Leap, Repub-
llcan, of Waynesboro.
In the fighting 9th" district,
where for many years the Repub-
licans had an upper hand, Repre-
sentative John w. Flanagan OF
Bristol, Democratic incumbent for
the last eight years, is now conceded
victory over L. E. Gulliford, Repub-
lican, of Pulaski.
UnOpposed Candidates.
The unopposed Democratic candi-
dates to be reelected today are the
following:

Schuyler o. Bland of Newport News;

nation between Senator Tydings and
Representative Lewis overshadowed
all other Maryland contests.
But Senator Tydings' decisive vic
tory against the New Deal purge on
September II left little doubt Of
his reelection in the minds of most
observers, and throughout the sub
sequent campaign the spotlight
switched to the fight for the govern
orship, which developed into one of
the hardest-fought contests the Free
State has seen in 20 years.
If Mr.. O'Conor, the Democratic
standard bearer wins, he would be
one of Maryland's youngest Govern
ors, going into office at AZ. In II
years he has risen steadily In the
ranks of his party.
If Gov. Nice wins reelection in
today's balloting his victory also
would make history, because he
would be the first Republican Gov
ernor to be returned for second
term in Maryland.
Senator TydingS is heavy favor
ite to defeat his Republican oppo-
nent, former Judge Oscar Lesser.
Congress Fight Close.
Next to the governorship, the chief
point OF interest is what will happen
in three Of the six congressional dis
tricts, where the results may be
close. Two Of these are in Balti-
more, where Representative Amb-
rose j. Kennedy. Democrat, is flght-
ing for reelection against Daniel
Ellison, Republican, and Thomas
d'AleSandro. jr. Democrat, is op-
posed by John A. Janetzke, Re-
publican, for the seat now held
by Representative Palmisano. MI.
d'Alesandro d defeated Mr.. Palmisano
in the Democratic primary. The
third is IN Western Maryland. where
a successor to Representative David
]. Lewis, Democrat, will be chosen.
Mr.. Lewis decided to try for the
senatorial nomination instead of
seeking reelection to the House.
The contenders for his seat are
William D. Byron, Democrat, and
A. Charles Stewart, Republican.
The other three Democratic House
members are believed to be headed
for reelection. They are Represen-
tative T. Alan Goldsborough. on
the Eastern Shore; Representative
Stephen w. Gambrill of Laurel, and
Representative William P. Cole, jr,
of ToWSon.
Other Statewide Offices.
There are three Statewide Offices
being voted on besides the governor
ship and senatorShip. These are:
For attorney general-William G..
Walsh, Democrat, against Leo Wein-
berg, Republican.
For State controller-J. Millard
Tawes, Democrat, against Dr.. Will
liam G. Jack, Republican.
For clerk Of the Court of Appeals
j. A. Young, Democrat, against E.
Ray Jones, Republican.
There are approximately 8l75OO
registered voters In the State this
year, listed as follows: Democrats,
539.834; Republicans, 26O 1852, and
1888 others. On paper, this Is a
2-to-1 advantage for the Democrats,
but it is argued by some that a con-
siderable number of persons with
Republican leanings registered as
Democrats in order to take part
Evening star., 1938-11-08

In Democratic primaries. Another
factor to be considered in connection
with the registration ratio, particu-
larly in regard to the gubernatorial
race, is that the Democrats went
through hard-fought primary bat
tie. Mr.. O'Conor won the nomina-
ton over Mayor Howard w. Jackson
OF Baltimore by a narrow margin of
unit votes, under the county unit
system followed in the primary, and
there has been much speculation
during the ensuing campaign as to
what effect this will have on the
size Of the Democratic vote for
Governor.
There are several other candidates
running for Governor, including
Herbert M. Bruno, jr.. Independent.
With Baltimore using voting ma
chimes throughout the city this year,
the returns from that populouS
center of the State should be known
at fairly early hour in the evening.
With the city having about As per

returns from the city are likely to
give strong indication OF the out
