 Chinese troops still were holding the enemy outside Its gates, according to the latest advices reaching Chungking.
 In central Kiangsi province Chin ese forces striving to break up the eneny's major offensive in eastern China were reported to have scored series of successes, inflicting sev- eral thousand casualties upon the enemy.
 Tonight's communique reported the recapture of the towns of Tsung- jen and Ihuang in central Kiangsi as well as Changshan on the Che- kiang -Kiangsi border.
 Several strategic points were cap- tured from numerically superior Japanese forces near Linchwan in central Kiangsi and an enemy at- tempt to land on the Poyang city shore of Lake Poyang Saturday were repulsed.
 Almost 1000 Japanese were said to have been killed or wounded while crossing a branch of the Sin River near Tengchipau, but the enemy brought up endorsements and forced the Chinese to retreat eastward along the railroad.
 In Hupeh province the Chinese re- captured the town of Hosueh yes- terday, inflicting 500 casualties on the enemy and penetrating deep irl- to his southern defense lines, the communique said.
 It was stated that Shangpao fell after strong Japanese forces con- versed upon 1t Sunday from every direction" and entered the city un- der protection of heavy aerial and artillery bon1bardment.
 The retreating Chinese garrison fell back to new positions south of the Sin river where fighting con- tinues, 1t was said.
 Tonight's communique admitted that the Chinese were advancing steadily in strong force along the railroad inside the Kiangsi province border, striving to close the gap A second column was said to be pushing Soutf1ward, attacking Paishan and Shiatangti where the Chinese are resisting with all fiercenesS."
 The Japanese, according to
 Chungking military observers, are striving to gain full control of the vital railroad line and recently im- proved "super-highWay" network of eastern China in order to provide themselves with an overland route from Shanghai to Singapore in event of an Allied naval offensive against their line of supply through the China sea.
 Chinese and foreign intelligence reports said the Japanese were shifting their main military strength from the south to the north, fore shadowiag an attack on Russian Si- beria from Manchuria., Chinese and foreign intelligence reports said to- day.
 Informed sources said the Japan csc were sending 8 constant stream of warplanes from Burma, the Neth- erlands East Indies and the Philip pines to ManchuTta. Supplementing the B Japanese divisions reportedly already ir Manchuria, large numbers of troops are being transferred from For. nnosa and northern China, they said
 Tt is now obvious that the Jap anese are shifting the main weight of their forces from the south tc the north," Chinese military lead CT said.
 Both Chinese and foreign guar. ters support the theory that Japar now must invade Siberia for feal the British American Soviet "sec' ond front" pact may involve promise of future Russian aid ir the Pacific war against the Jap ] anese.

In a strong statement against

McNutt made his declaration for

"There are still too many en-

McNutt Raps Prejudiced
War Plant Employers Who
Bar Negro Labor From Jobs

"Such employers are protecting
their prejudices at the cost of pro-
duction for victory.
"And America cannot stand that
kind of nonsense"
McNutt urged an increase in ap-
prentice training. He said that all
around workers were needed not
only for supervisors and foremen
for the tremendously expanded la
Dor supply in war production
plants, but they were needed too
as lead, set-up and quartermen and
for installation, maintenance and
repair work.
Bona fide apprenticeship re-
mains the quickest and soundest
way of producing this kind of la
bor," he said. apprentices for
whom special selection on the basis
of qualifications and aptitudes is
made, contribute to production al
most Immediately. AS they gain
in dexterity and knowledge, they
become increasingly valuable to the
work"
The Negro Manpower Service,
headed by Robert C. Weaver, is a
branch of the War Manpower Com
mission headed by McNutt.
