CRUCIAL BATTLE
 FOR COAST LOOMS
NatiOnalists Only Seven Miles From Mediterra=
 mean in Places

Hendaye, French-Spanish From tier, April 9.-(UP Spanish Loy- alists formed new battle line on the Tortosa front today as the Ma tionalists stormed the Turmell hills and prepared to strike for the Medi- terranean coast.
 Heavy Loyalists endorsements reached 8 line about eight miles from the seacoast in the Atalyas de Alcata and Sierra Montcia hill area, and Nationalists, confirming their arrival, said that the definitive bat tle for possession of the coast would be fought within a few days.
 An unconfirmed report put the Nationalists only about seven miles from the sea ca secondary road lcad- ing to Benicarlo. south of Vim aroz on the coast, but late Nation- alist reports indicated that this re- port was too optimistic.
 In the north the Nationalists took b1lC IOWll Ol SulllttA ooAoAA VA Tremp, and with it one of the most important hydro-electric power sta tions in the entire Tremp region.
 Reports disclosed that the Ma tionalists were driving urgently to consolidate their grip on the Tremp area, whence comes most of Cata- lonias power supply, fearing that Loyalist guerrillas would dynamite dams and flood the city of Lerida below.
 Nationalist airplanes blew up 25 of a convoy of g dymnamite trucks not far from Tremp, 1t was revealed, and found dynamite dumps at many places. They captured the seven trucks of the dynamite convoy which the airplanes missed, as the drivers did not know that Tremp had been taken, and drove through tLe rebel lines.
 Nationalists estimated that they now controlled 70 per cent of Catalonia's power supply, and their only concern was lest Loyalists pene- trate their lines at night and blow up dams.

CHINESE TROOPS
 IMPLICIT DEFEAT
Smash Japs Along Central Front; May Turn It Into
 Complete ROut

Shanghai, April 9 (U.P0 - Chinese troops on the central front have inflicted serious defeat on the Japanese and, their morale high, are seeking to turn the defeat into a disaster, reports from the battle lines said today.
 A United Press staff correSpond- ent with the Chinese army con- firmed that the Chinese had re- taken Taierhchwang, northeast ot Hsuchow and that the Japanese were retreating northward, aban- doning their motorized equipment.
 In the rear of the Japanese, as they retreated, Chinese irregulars were ripping through the Japanese communications line and cutting off supplies. Chinese asserted that 8 mixed army of guerrillas and irreg- ulars had reached the suburbs of Tsinan, a most important city on the Tientsin- -Nanking Railroad, and Japanese base for operations over the entire northeastern front.
 Further, the Chinese asserted that they had smashed with frightful losses q SuuueIl JdpdllCoC OAACAhoAfS on the lake Tai-Hangchow front west and southwest of Shanghai apparently Japanese effort to di- vert attention from the central front.
 It was reported that 10000 Jap anese endorsements had arrived at Shanghai from the homeland.
 All reports from the Chinese side indicated that the Chinese had won a great victory and it was plain that they hoped to make of it not only their greatest victory of the war but the greatest in the long, troubled history of their nation.
 The Yellow river, for centuries called "China's Sorrow" had be- come a symbol for the rebirth of a nation of 400-odd million people. On the central or Yellow river front, after months of bitter defeat, the Chinese were definitely on the of- fensive and had made gains.

SUGGEST UNITED JEWISH ACTION
Rabbi Greenfield Would CO- ordinate Various COm-
 munity Activities Here

Reorganization of Waterbury's Jewish Community-An Ideal and Concrete Plan for Producing the Best Results Within the Commu- nity," was the subject of a discus sion last night by Rabbi William P. Greenfield, speaking at Beth-El Synagog. His theme was the ad- vantages to be derived from Jewish community councils which would coordinate all Jewish activities, eliminate the separate campaigns for funds of several organizations, as one of its benefits, he said. Edu- cational activities, he said, also would benefit by the council direc- tion.
 Detroit, Cleveland, and Harris burg, Pa. all have councils now, Rabbi Greenfield said. He pointed out that in medieval times all the Jewish ghettos of Europe were self governing. He quoted several times from Prof. Mordecai Kaplan's book, Judaism as Civilization"
