Australian Minister
Seeks Economic 5feps
To Combat Japan

The industries of China, Aus

par with those of Japan to prevent
Japanese aggression in the future
Sir Frederic EggleSton, the Minister
OF Australia, last night told a meet

Nations Location Ideal.
He said Australia S geographical
location in respect to Japan is ideal
from the military standpoint, and
that because of Australia's strategic
position Japan already has been
forced to move many of her in
dustries to Manchuria to prevent
continued bombing by planes based
at Darwin and other Australian
cities.
However" he warned, "the in
dustrial potentialities of Japan are
still great. 1t is very important that
we prevent that nation from build
ing up a postwar economy or she
will continue to be a menace"
Other advantages of Australia as
a base for the security system are
the nations ability to produce large
quantities Of raw materials, particu-

Aged Parents Bring Action Against Son
 Jimmy" Fosone
 Named in Suit

An elderly Waterbury couple to- day filed civil action in Superior Court against their son, a former local prize-fighter, claiming he has failed to support them although he agreed to do so when they conveyed 10 pieces of property to him in in 1917 and 1919.
 The plaintiffs are Donate and Maaria M. Fasano, who seek $10,000 damages from Angelo Michael Fa- sano of Waterbury, who was known as Jimmy" Fasane in his prize fighting days.
 Atty. Ralph Coppeto, who repre- sents the couple, reports that the father is 94 years old and the mother, 85.
 According to the complaint, the son acquired seven pieces of prop erty on Linwood street Jan. 31, 1917 and three pieces on the same street Nov 8. 1919, after he agreed to sup port his parents during their life time and give them a suitable bur- ial. The support agreement was on a mortgage deed in 1917 and in a warranty deed in 1919, the couple claims.
 Stating that their son has violated the agreement, the couple asks the court to declare the conveyance deeds void, to give them possession of the premises, and to eject the de- fendant.
 Their son has refused 10 vacate the premises or convey them back to them, the plaintiffs claim.

N1OllllllQGu HUH IdEG II "Sponsored' army landed unoppcsed from American naval transports at daybreak
 They moved out swiftly through a protective cordon of 12,000 U. S. Sixth Division Marines, apparently under orders from American naval and Marine commanders to get clear of the port immediately.
 The opposing armies included some of the best fighting divisions in the Communist and Nationalist lIneups, although at least part of the Eighth Route army was reported to have been pulled out some time ago to reinforce the Communist de- lenses of Manchuria.
 Veterans Spearhead
 The Nationalists, under It. Gen Tang Feng, were picked veterans of the long campaigns against the Japanese in South China. Johnson said they went ashore without tanks or heavy artillery, but were we'll equipped with American small arms, mOrtars, flame throWers and ba- zookas.
 Vice Adm. Daniel c. Barbey commander of U. s. amphibious forces in North China, and Maj Gen. Lemuel c. Shepherd, comman- der of the Sixth Marines, were on hand to supervise the landing. The Nationalist army, rushed up from KoWloon to occupy Shantung for Cniang's government. was expected to complete it's debarkation before daybreak Thursday.
 Both sides appeared anxious to avoid embroiling the Marines in their civil war and observers be- lieved there would be no major clash until the NationalistS were -clear of the city.
 The Tsingtao landing coincided with the arrival of another Chin csc Government arh1y-the Sand some 280 miles farther north at ChinWangtao, nine miles south of the embattled Manchurian gateway town of Shanhaikwan.
 Shankaikwon Falls Unconfirmed reports Sald Shan- haikwan, eastern term Us of China's Great Wall, already had fallen to the Nationalists, opening the way for a full-scale drive into Manchuria.
 Almost 800 miles inland, the Com munist armies were reported over running vast area of Sulyuan province against relatively feeble opposition from the oorly-equlpped Nationalist forces there.
 Reports from Suiyuan said the Communists were battering both cities with heavy artillery fire.
 These reports hinted the Com munists might have captured a num- 1 Der of Japanese bombing planes and tanks last August when they seized the huge Japanese supply dumps at Kalgan. -
 Nationalist sources in Chungking said the Communists already had appointed Mongol Extremist named Yum Tseh as governor oi Suiyuan in ap attempt to win Mon gol support for their side.
