CHUNGKING, May 21.-Chi-
nese troops in a sudden offensive
in Kwangsi Province have re-
captured Hochih, important Jap
anese bastion on the KwangSi-
KweichoW railroad, 95 miles west
of the rail junction city of Liu-
chow, the Chinese high COM
mand announced today.
On the East China coast, Chinese
troops hammering eastward from
the captured city of Foochow-pos-
sible American invasion port-have
occupied Mamoi, 8 miles distant,
and other Chinese reached the vi
cinity of Lienkong, 20 miles north
east of Foochow, the high command
said. The coastal successes were
scored in yesterdays fighting.
Hochih was one of the japanese
strong points screening the enemy
corridor to Indo-China. Repeated
Chinese attacks had failed to dis
lodge the strongly entrenched Japa-
nese there during the winter cam
paign.
Chinese forces on the east coast
also seized another port in the Foo
chow area, and rumors persisted
that enemy troops were evacuating
numerous China coast positions
which they feared would be turned
into death traps in the event of an
invasion.

who tried to make stand at Dion

said.
These new successes seemed to
bolster the rumors that the jap
anese were clearing out of coastal

a Chinese announcement that ap-
proximately 1,500 japanese had been

The battle, which started May IS

Army Reduces
.DischargeAge
From AZ to40
New Revision Will
Affect sc, 900 Men
And 8, 1000 WACS
By NELSON SHEPARD.

The Army today lowered from
40 to 40 the age at which en-
listed men and women will be
eligible for discharge on their
own application.
Approximately 10000 men and
5000 WACS are affected by the rul-
ing, the War Department an
nounced.
Further reduction in the age limit
will be made when the military sit
uation permits, it was said.
The 42-year limit became effective
last April IT. Since then the sur
render of Germany and the reduc-
ton in the Army's size has made
it possible to lower the bars.
Can Be Kept 80 Days.
The Army announced, however,
that in the case of men 40 or Al,
commanders will be permitted to
retain, them for a period OF not
more than 80 days if individual re-
placements are not available at the
time discharge is requested.
The Army cannot set an early date
at this time for further reduction
in the age limit, it was said, without
jeopardizing military operations or
slowing down the release of combat
veterans who have earned the right
to discharge under the recently
established point system.
When the point system was an
nounced, considerable resentment
was voiced-particularly by men
overseas-that age was not included
directly as credit toward discharge.
Today's announcement and the War
Departments promise of further
lowering in the discharge age ap-
peared to be partial answer to this
criticism.
Indirect Age Consideration.
Through the inclusion of addi-
tional points for parenthood, the
the point system provides indirect
consideration for age. Statistical
surveys made by the Army have
indicated that the average age of
fathers is several years above that
of soldiers without children.
The Army said the provisions Of
the new discharge policy for age
have been made applicable to enlist
ed WACS who have been on active
duty for year or more.

Allied Force Appears
To Be Trying 10 Reach
Tokyo Says
10000, 900 Students
Modified by japan
To Defend Homeland
By the Associated Press.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 21.-An
Allied task force again is on
the prowl" and appears to be
attempting to approach Kyushu," I"
Domei, Japanese news agency.
said in a broadcast intercepted
by the Federal Communications
Commission yesterday.
The dispatch noted that since last
Thursday Allied carrier aircraft
raids against Kyushu and the
Amami Archipelago, south of Kyu-
shu, had been increasing, and since
dawn Saturday the enemy" has
been active over that area.
1t added:
I'm view of the northward strike
of enemy warships on May 13 and
IA, coupled with the fact that the
enemy task force again is on the
prowl after leaving its bases in the
Marianas, we can surmise that the
enemy is up to some new scheme
The enemy armada appears to be at
tempting to approach Kyushu, but
we cannot as yet predict what course
the enemy feet will take"
Domei also said that critical de-
velopments in the war situation"
have led Japan to mobilize its TO-
100000 students on a full wartime
basis actively to participate in the
defense of the homeland"
This dispatch said the mobiliza-
ton order, effective tomorrow, would
convert all students in educational
institutions from the universities
down into a student corps"
The ministry of education an
nounced the new wartime educa-
ton decree" and said students will
receive special training ito qualify
them for active combat duties"
The dispatch, garbled in spots,
said a diploma would be granted
for unfinished studies ''in case Of
death"
The decree was passed by the
cabinet on April 20, Domei said in
another broadcast, but was not ap-
proved by Emperor Hirothito until
today.

E Receipts Stond at
31.3 Per Cent Of Quote

War Bonds totaling $1,200,000
were sold to Washingtonians
over the week end, bringing the
individual bond sales to $19,900,-

cials of the Mighty Seventh"

OF this 81 200, 900 increase. $500 900

E bond sales, which are watched
closely by officials to judge public
support of the war loan, now stand
at SIS ,000, ,000-31.3 per cent of the
$48, ,000, 900 E bond quota.
Meanwhile, the Army and Navy
Departments have urged their mill
tary personnel to match or surpass
civilian quotas in the drive.
Urges IS Per Cent.
Secretary of War Stimson urged
officers particularly to put at least
18 per cent of their base pay into
War Bonds during the war loan
drive. Systematic savings" in War
Bonds by the pay reservation
method was advocated by him for
all military personnel.
Mr.. Stimson asked his civilian en-
ployes to have minimum of go
per cent" participation in the drive
through payroll savings.
The Navy Department, here and
in its far-fiung battle stations, has
urged its fighters to buy bonds for
their own and their country's fu-
ture. Many Washington families
have received from sons at sea a
4-by-9-inch scroll certifying that
they are honorary members of the
crew of their sons ship because he
made them the co-owner of a bond
he bought on board.
Use V-Mail Certificates.
Both servicemen and civilians
have begun wide use also of the
V-Mail Bond Gift Certificate, which
looks like bond, slips into the mail
like the V-mail stationery, and car
ries message that the sender has
bought and is holding bond. The
method is particularly useful to
avoid mailing bonds back and forth
overseas, officials said.
Meanwhile, the national war
finance Office has revealed that about
$500 ,000, 900 of the Mighty Seventh"
quota of 81, 1000 900 900 has been ear
marked for discharge pay for the
l 300 900 men expected to be dis
charged from the Army this year.
The $500 per man discharge pay
ment, Ted r. Gamble, national di-
rector, said, will offset any reduction
in Army payrolls this year.

Regional Agreement

Conference Committee
Expected to Approve
Big 5 Proposals Today
BY GOULD LINCOLN.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 21.-
The Regional Arrangements
Committee of the United Nations
Conference is expected to place
its seal of approval late today on
a Big Five proposal to write into
the charter of the new inter
national peace organization
amendments enabling regional
groups, like the American re-
publics, to defend themselves in
case of attack without first OBJ
tanning authority from the secu-
rity council.
Complete agreement on this pro-
posal was reached last night at a
meeting of the Big Five-the United
States. Britain, Russia, China and
France-and the text of the pro-
posed amendments was made public
The Latin American republics also
have given the proposal their bless
ing.
Action by the committee today
should end the controversy over this
issue which has kept the confer
ence in a state of anxiety for the
last two weeks.
Collective Action Made Possible.
The amendments, demanded par
ticularily by the United States and
the Latin American republics, while
general in application, make it pos
sible for the Americas to take COL
lective defense action as contem-
plated in the Act of Chapultepec
and leave the Monroe Doctrine un-
impaired, in case an attack is made
on any one of them.
The United States, Britain, China
and France united in support of
such proposals a week ago. The
Russian delegation sought instruc-
tions from Moscow. Saturday after
noon Russian proposal, suggesting
only minor changes in wording OF
the amendments advanced by the
other four, was submitted. The
amendments were redrafted and
agreed to by the Big Five yesterday
Later, Secretary of State Stettinius
called reporters to his penthouse
apartment and said:
Il am happy to be able to tell
you that 10 minutes ago the five
governments reached an agreement
on regional matters. Committee
work will go forward tomorrow
There is very little difference in
the language (of the amendments
as agreed upon from the statement
I issued several days ago."
Farley May End June 9.
The agreement has given the
conference delegates a lift and they
are aiming to wind up the confer
ence not later than June 9. They
will strive for an even earlier date

amendments. it was explained, pre-
serve the authority of the world
organization, but at the same time

for regional groups to use then
