SHANGHAI, June 6 (AP)
The Nationalist government's ar
mies fought hard today to keep
the- rebel tide rolling from both
north and south toward central
China.
After battling for a month to
halt the northern alliance rebels
driving through Honan and Shan
tung provinces toward its capital
t Nanking, the government was
called upon to meet the menace
from the south. Kwangsl prov
ince rebels and bandit hordes of
several provinces .advanced today
80,000 in number to attack the
Nationalists at their new base
south of Yochow, province of Hu
nan. Hurled yesterday from Chang
sha when the rebels overwhelmed
the city. 10.000 Nationalists re
treated northward to form de
fense lines with the large Tung
tink lake at their right and the
broad Tanktse river to their
Tear. The Nationalist govern
ment, realizing the gravity of this
rebel thrust at the tri-cities Han
jow, Wuchang and Hanyang, com
mercial and strategic centers of
China, ordered all available
troops mustered to halt the south
erners. Censorship Prevails
In Honan District
A veil of censorship appeared
to hang over military .operations
In Honan province, where a long
series of battles between . the
northern rebels and the National
ists was reported two days ago
going against the government
forces. Retreating then before
rebel attacks along the Haichow
Tungkwan railway, the National
ists were reported In a precarious
condition on the main battlefront
of China's civil war.
The northerners, having cross
ed the Yellow river into Shantung
province, approached Tainan to
day. The sound of the artillery
firing as they fought the Nation
alists was plainly heard In Tsinan.
The American consul was said to
.have urged Americans to leave
the city.
In Shanghai, Nationalists offi
cials met to strengthen the finan
cial sinews of war. Nearly two
weeks ago Finance Minister Soon
telegraphed President Chiang
Kai-Shek, leading the Nationalist
troop in Honan province, that a
speedy victory was imperative..
In addition to the civil war,
said Soon, the government had
been called upon to deal with na
tion wide communistic and bandit
depredations and economic dis
tress due to depreciated silver,
crop failures and paralysed busi
ness. These, he said, were com
bined In the gravest menace the
government had faced.

WASHINGTON, June 6 (AP)
A final showdown on the tariff
bill In the senate Is anticipated by
leaders of all factions by next Fri
day at the latest.
Under an agreement proposed
today by Senator Smoot, republi
can, Utah, and consented to unan
imously by the senate, that branch
will take a single vote on the two
conference reports comprising the
Hawley-Smoot measure.
While at least one republican.
Senator Reed, Pennsylvania, ha
not made up his mind whether to
s.pport the bill, majority chief
tains are claiming victory by one
or two votes after conceding sev
eral doubtful votes to the opposi
tion. Senator Reed said he would
not make a decision until he had
made further study of the changes.
He was abroad attending the na
val conference when most of the
final revisions took place.
Lower House Vote
Will Follow Soon
Should the measure pass the
senate Friday, republican leaders
look for the final house action the
following Monday or Tuesday.
The conferees today corrected
all but one rate section against
which democratic points of order
were made and sustained yester
day by Vice President Curtis.
They deferred until Monday a fi
nal rewriting of the watch sec
tions to meet opposition challen
ges.
The most important change
agreed to was the acceptance of
the house rate of seven cents a
pound but not less than 35 per
cent ad valorem on cheese and
cheese substitutes. The previous
conference agreement provided
for eight cents a pound but not
les than 40 per cent.
Alterations Make
BUI Move Popular
Senator Blaine, republican In
dependent, Wisconsin, said the
new rate made the bill "more un
popular than ever" from his point
of view.
The conferees made further cor
rection by separating rayon fila
ment from yarns and providing a
minimum duty of 40 cents a pound
on the former if over 30 inches In
in length and 45 cent a pound on
th yarns.
All reference to frozen cherries
was eliminated but the under
standing is that these would come
In as preserved cherries at a rate
of cents a pound, plus 40 per
cent.
Another section was revised to
permit free entry of horses, mules
and cattle from Mexico and Can
ada for pasturage purposes for a
peilod of eight months. The orig
inal conference agreement fixed
only a three months' period for
cattle from Mexico.
