By Chinese Following

b. the Associated Press.

by the ASsociateo Press.
CHUNGKING, June 16.-The
Chinese high command an
nounced tonight a further Japa-
nese advance in East Kiangsi
Province, but indicated that the
Chinese were exacting a heavy
toll from the japanese columns
striving to close a pincers on the
Chekiang-Kiangsi Railway.
Al communiQue said the Chinese
abandoned Kwangfeng, IS miles
within Kangsi, Sunday after an all
night battle In which the japanese,
thrusting westward along the rail-
way, suffered more than 1000 cas-
ualties.
An army spokesman admitted that
the gap between this invading COL
umn and another driving eastward
through Kiangsi had been reduced
to 80 miles. (The japanese said
their columns were only so miles
apart.)
The communique said the Chi
nese had seized the initiative in the
Nancheng region, some 40 miles
south Of the railway, and were
storming the city, which the Japa-
nese captured few days ago., r.
Pacific Offensive Urged. rt
A government spokesman urged
that the immediate launching of
a major Pacific offensive be- given
at least equal consideration with
possible drives In other war theaters.
If the United Nations continue
to be complacent" toward Japan,
he warned, she may become "the
most difficult Of the Axis powers to
defeat"
The spokesman prefaced his ap-
peal by asserting that Japan,s sue
cesses could be explained by what
he called the false impression that
she was the weakest link In the Axis
chain.
He said he differed with any
theory that Japan would collapse
once Germany was defeated. AL
though he did not say China would
collapse unless help were forthcom-
ing, he declared her situation would
be serious.
The spokesman enumerated three
objectives Of. Japanese drives in
China:
/. To eliminate remaining United
Nations bases which might be used
to attack Japan.
2. To seize strategic points for at
tacking the United States.
3. To consolidate dominated areas
and develop their resources.

tion's post offices.
The measure would give the Post
ONCE Department 38,688 ,0e0 be-
cause of what the committee said
was an "unprecedent volume OF
mail and postal business" Rev.
enues so far this fiscal year are
$65, 900, 900 more than expected and
expenditures are up $32. .000, 900. The
department, however. operates at a
deficit.
Rubber Request Cut.
The Budget Bureau asked Con-
gress for $s,75o,Oo for the rental,
planting and cultivation of $4,000
acres Of guayule, extension Of
nurseries to 500 acres for growing
Of guayule seed and other plants for
production of rubber and expert
mentation in processes of extracting
rubber from the plants.
The committee reduced the total
to be available for rubber to $8,-
5000, but did net specify what
projects in the program should be
trimmed.
The 1885 900 which will be
available can be devoted by the
department (of Agriculture) to
those projects which are Of the
highest priority in assisting in OBJ
tanning rubber for the prosecution
of the war;" the committee said.
During hearings on the bill, Nor
man Davis. chairman of the Amer

earlier this year be consolidated,
with authority tc expend the funds
until June, 1943.
Mr.. Davis said conditions in Axis
dominated nations were bad, eSpe-
cially in Greece, where the mortality
rate among children "is very great, "
and in Belgium, where some Of the
children are getting tubercular."
In reply to questions, Mr.. Davis
said he believed there would be a
state of economic collapse and
suffering in Europe" when the war
ends.

numerous small appropriations, to-
falling more than $4,000, 900, includ-
ing such items as $4,000 to be paid

New Efforts 10 Reach
D. {. House Bill
Accord Scheduled
House Spokesman Still
Oppose Funds, However,
For Family Units

House and Senate conferees prob
ably will resume efforts within the
next few days to reach an agree
ment on the 81, 900 900 District var
housing bill, which has been de-
layed by a dispute over whether
dwelling units should be built as
well as dormitories.
Although the House paved the
way yesterday for further nego-
tiations by agreeing to a new con-
ference asked by the Senate, House
spokesmen made it clear they are
still strongly opposed to accept
ance Of the Senate amendment
for 5000 family dwelling units.
Chairman Cannon OF the Horc-.>
Appropriations Committee was
joined by Representatives Wood
rum, Democrat, of Virginia and
Taber, Republican, of New York in
,, contending the program should be
confined to dormitories.
$4,000, 900 for Dormitories.
As originally passed by the House
the bill carried $4,000 900 for dor
mitories and $l7,500 900 for urgently
! needed public works, such as sewer,
water. hospital and school facili-
ties. To this House total of $29, ,500,-
900 the Senate added s13 $780, 900 for
the 5000 family dwelling units. and
this is the only point in dispute.
Mr.. Taber told the House the
committee went thoroughly into the
problem before deciding that DOR
mitories are needed, but that family
dwellings are not.
Mr.. Woodrum pointed out it was
set forth in the hearings that private
capital has agreed to build 10000
family dwellings for the defense
program. The Virginian took the
position, however, that the bill
should be sent back to conference
for settlement.
Conferees Named.
House conferees have indicated a
Willingness to increase their original
allotment for dormitories as a sub
stitute for the Senate family unit
amendment.
The House conferees, reappointed
yesterday, are: Representatives Cam

Every Man
Must Live
In Solitude

ONE OF the toughest lessons
we must face in this life is the
discovery that we must always
walk alone. No matter how pop
ular we are, no matter how
deeply beloved, no matter how
deserving OF understanding and
sympathy. we must live in soli-
tude.
Even as tiny children this
realization begins unconsciously.
We have scores of playnates
and a succession of chums, but
one after another they disap-
point and enrage us. They refuse
to do the things we want TO do
>. they refuse 10 be part OF US.
So we discard Jenny or Jimmy
and cast in our lot with Rose
or Rob.
But the result is always the
same-we never quite fit each
other. Yet we 60 on hoping that
somewhere, some day, well find
the perfect friend.
But we never do.

But we're wrong Our main
fob in life is not 10 understand

Our main job is 10 grow
10 follow our own patterns. meet
our own challenges. endure our
own loneliness. This does not
mean that we should stint our
affection or our service 10 those
with whom we live.
To the contrary. it means that
we should live as graciously
ioyfully and generously as lies
within our power. for that IS
tho very means by which we do

We Are All Alone

I'm thinking of that wonderful
paragraph in Somerset Maug-

Each one of us is alone in the
world. He Is shut in a tower Of
brass, and can communicate with
his fellows only by signs. and
the signs have no common value
so that their sense is vague and
uncertain. We seek pitifuly 10
convey 10 others the treasures
Of our hearts. but they have not
the power TO accept them, and
so we 60 lonely. side by side but
not together, unable TO know
our fellows and unknown by
them.
What a tremendous difference
IL would make in our lives If we
could accept this truth, So
much Of our misery is caused
because we arc seeking a senti-
mental relationship which can
never be and which should
never be.
We expect the impossible, and
when II does not occur we blame

Warned TO Get License.
During the first World War stream
fishing increased far beyond the
ability of State authorities to stock
their waters against the abnormal
load. Old Dominion wardens have
noted proportionate increase sdur-
ing the present open season on trout.
This time all nearby States have

are forgetting to do their part
obtaining license before fishing

had at any county clerks Office.
Any man in the service is entitled
to fish at the resident rate. Others.
who might not care for a full-time
ticket, will find available a tourist

Aim for AN-Events
And Singles Titles
On Windup Night
Move Into Second Place
In Doubles With 824:
Two Leads Change

Perce Wolfe and Irvine Billhimer
who hold second place in Glass A
doubles with 824 and as teammates
on the Billhimer & Palmer team of
the Prince Georges County League
share third place in A, promise to be
warm rivals tonight in the windup
at Convention Hall Of the Washing
ton City Duckpin Associations 32d
annual tournament.
Both veteran stars will be seeking
the Glass A singles and all-events
titles with Wolfe having little the
better of it with six-game score of
829 against BOT for Billhimer after
some lusty rolling by both sharp
shooters last night.
Billhimer, who lost to Howard
Campbell in roll-off for the singles
title in 1880 only to come back in
1885 to win with record score of 431
was off to another fast start last
night as his AIT led in team count
Of 1876, which was climaXed by a
e87, the highest team game of the
tournament. Arlington Bowling Gen.
ter's 674 was the former mark.
Wolfe Outrolls Partner.
Wolfe, who had contributed a
nifty 395 to the team total, cut loose
in the doubles with 434 and with
Billhimer firing 800 they gained
the runner-up spot with 824. Look
ing on was Johnny Burger, another
teammate, who with Dutch Sh9-
balm had held second place with
617.
Winner of the topflight all-events
championship at Arcadia in 1896
with lit and singles victor at Co.
hmbia in 1889 with AL, Wolfe will
have to roll at least $50 to dislodge
Lafayettes Ernie Hauser who leads
the all-events with 1908. And top
ping Mike Avon's 436 also promises
TO be quite a task. incidentally,
Avon's 367 and Leo Collins 346
aided the suburan team lot.
Two New Leaders Appear.
Two new leaders shared the spot
light as Frank Temple of Interstate
Commerce shot to the front in F
singles with 319 and Joe Zeglen of
Agriculture at Rosslyn gained first
place in E all-events after Gaping
a nine-game score of 971 with 298
In singles and 324 in doubles. Ernest
Ritchie of the Western Electric
League dropped to second place
with 965.
Charley E. Heinbaugh of G. P. o.
moved to second place in F all
events with 1913 by rolling 299 with
the Patents team.
Ben Simmons of the Naval Gun
Factory League tied with Bernie
