Still GraveAfter
Kinhwa Victory
Toughest Battles
Of Summer Near,
Spokesman Says
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHUNGKING, May 26. The
Japanese were thrown back with
heavy casualties in an attempt to
storm Kinhwa, the Chekiang
provisional capital, yesterday,
but "the situation is still very
grave and the coming week will
witness even fiercer battles" a
Chinese spokesman declared to-
day.
I'VE are entering what may turn
out to be the toughest battles this
summer in Asia" he said.
Our most urgent needs at this
moment are air force and trans
portation, but it is hoped that our
troops N the various fronts soon
will be spared the pangs of battling
against unequal odds without air
protection and that new ways of
transportation will be established
speedily"
He did not elaborate except to re-
mark that the strengthening of In
dia's defenses would be valuable
in maintaining our communications
with our Allies and that fighting in
Burma and in the southwestern Chi
nese Province of Yunnan was con-
tinuing.
Drive in Fukien Seen.
The Japanese assault on Kinhwa
was launched from Wulipao, 2 miles
from Kinhwa's southern walls, by
one of the four Japanese columns
pressing on the city, the spokesman
said.
Notwithstanding the strong con-
centration Of 100000 men with heavy
mechanical support in the Chinese
maritime province, the spokesman
said the enemy apparently was pre-
pairing another campaign, perhaps
of even larger scale, in Fukien Prov
ince, which borders Chekiang to the
south.
He said this apparently was be-
ing made ready with troop trans
ports and warships, including air.
craft carriers, at bases in the jap
anese island of Formosa, which lies
across the Formosa Strait from the
Fukien coast.
Some enemy mechanical units
have landed in Indo-China," he
added, but 1t is premature to say
what he (the enemy has in mind"
Last week the Chinese re-
ported they were prepared along
the southern Chinese border to
contest any Japanese attempt to
drive north from French Indo-
China, which borders on Yunnan
and Kwangsi ProvincesD

Previous Chinese reports put the
Japanese strength in the assault on
Kinhwa at 10000 men and called

victory since the start of the fight

The Chinese Central News Agency
said two japanese gunboats had
shelled the Fukien coast, near the
port of Foochow, for 10 minues yes
terday, while enemy planes bombed
nearby Mamoi.
At the same time, it said, four
Japanese gunboats and two motor
boats were observed in the Min
River. on which Foochow stands,
and where the invaders recently
have made heavy landing attacks.
I'm Chekiang," the spokesman
said, I'VE refused to fight the enemy
in places he chose for decisive op-
erations. Instead, we moved into
areas where we chose to fight.

enemy continually is bombing us in

Diplomatic Personnel
Constantly Changing.
The constant changing tn the per-
sonnel Of the Embassies and Lega-
tions gives variety to the Washing
ton social scene. but keeps its resi-
dents in q continuous state Of saying
au revoir to friends made and get
ting acquainted with new faces and
personalities. The arrival Of the
newly appointed Minister of New
Zealand and Mrs. Walter Nash is
being anticipated by numbers in
Washington, but no word has
reached here Of his departure from
his homeland or of his choice of a
date to start the long journey. Also,
there Is no word as to the selection
of the members Of the Legation staff,
who probably will accompany the
new envoy when he comes.
The Agency General of India, Of
which Sir Girja Shanker Bajpai is
the head. will have a new member
Of the staff this week when Capt.
D. Chaudhuri will come to Wash
ington. He will serve at the Agency
General as First Secretary, the staff
to have the same setup in its ranks
that q legation would have. Sir
Girja Bajpai has the status Of
Minister. although he is not at the
head Of a legation. The work. how
ever. Of those connected with the
Agency General will be much the
same as that Of legation.
Also joining the staff Of the Min
lister, Sir Girja, viii be Mr.. Jossleyn
Hennessey, who will assume the work
Of Press Attache. Mr.. and Mrs.
Hennessey and their children are
in New York and will come here
shortly to take q houss for the re-
mainder Of the winter.
Canadian Naval Attache
Unpacking Furniture.
The Naval Attache Of the Cana
dian Legation and Mrs. Brodeur
are busy these days unpacking their
furniture and other household be-
longings which arrived Friday from
their home in Victoria, British Co.
lumbia. The arrival of their own
furnishings indicates that they will
remain some time, which will be
welcome news to the many friends
they have made here.

and Mrs. Kenny, who are settled at
Miami, Fla, for the winter season.
The Kennys went South some weeks
ago for the air commodore's health,
as the climate here was believed to
be too severe for him after his Sc
rious illness Of last summer and fall.
Both Air Commodore and Mrs.
Kenny are greatly missed, for they
made very wide circle of friends
during their stay here since Com
modore Kenny arrived early in 1910

hard-hitting cruisers and destroyers.
The role OF the carrier has increased
tremendously in Importance since
the opening of war in the Pacific.
In their early days regarded chiefly
as the "eyes Of the fleet" carrier
borne planes now have emerged as
formidable offensive weapons against
enemy fleets or shore installations.
The current two-ocean Navy pro-
gram is expected to be complete
within the next two years. That
program contemplated a fleet of
nearly 700 fighting ships. 1t is the
plan to start the construction of the
second group of warships as the
ways are cleared of vessels now
under construction. An early end of
the war probably would bring de-
mands for curtailment of the big
undertaking, but II the lessons of
lsoiatlonism are not to be forgotten,
America would do we'll to maintain

dare to strike another treacherous

Naval Striking Power

The House has before it a far
reaching new fleet expansion pro-
gram, which, if carried into effect in
the wake of the great naval con-
struction program already under
way or approved, will provide Amer
lea with a Navy of unprecedented
three -dimensional striking power
and versatility. Coincident with pas
sage of an appropriation bill calling
for more than 100 new submarines
and auxiliaries, the House received
from Chairman Vinson of the Naval
Affairs Committee new $4,000, ,000,-
900 authorization bill which would
add 500 fighting ships and 300 patrol
and auxiliary craft to the two-ocean
Navy now building. The fighting
ships would include 100000 tons of
aircraft carriers, 100000 tons of
heavy and light cruisers and 100000
tons of deStroyers and other escort
vessels.
The absence of any provision for
battleships in the new program does
not mean that our naval experts
have lost interest in capital ships.
The attitude at the Navy Depart
ment is that as long as our enemies
have battleships to pit against us,
it behooves us to match or exceed
whatever they have to offer in the
way of heavy tonnage and big guns.
But there undoubtedly Is u growing
