After Heavy Rains
(By the Associated Press)
One life was lost on the west
coast and more than 200 families
were driven from their homes in
the east last night by torrential
rainstorms and flooded rivers.
A 0-mile gale lashed the coast
of Washington, disrupting com

In the east, a steady downpour
swelled the rivers of Pennsyl

the floods In those areas early
this year.
The situation at Cumberland,
Md., became so menacing a com
pany of the national guard was
ordered out there for flood duty.
The main business street stood
under eight inches of water. The
Potomac river continued rising,
although at a diminishing rate.
Half of Ridgely
Is Under Water
Half of Ridgely, W. Va., across
the river from Cumberland, was
under water. Up and down the
Cumberland valley, towns were
inundated, schools were closed
and residents were quitting their
homes.
The river rose at Hancock and
Williamsport, below Cumberland,
and at the upriver mining towns
of Mitzmiller and Shallmar.
where 120 families were forced to
seek higher ground.
A similar exodus was under
way in eentral West Virginia. The

Ruling Held Wise
NEW YORK, Oct. 28-()-The
federal reserve board stimulant
to margin buying' of securities
found a willing patient today in
the stock market and the prices
of leading issues gained f 1 to 4
or more a share.
The board's action in lowering
margin requirements for buyers
from 55 to 40 per cent, and im
posing a 50 per cent requirement
for short selling, filled the stock
exchange with buying orders at
the opening of trading.
Some favorite issues rose 3 6
or more in the first hour. Blocks
of 1000 to 15,000 shares changed
hands as the "shorts," those who
had sold stocks they didn't own
in the expectation of further de
clines in prices, bought at the
best price they could get to make
delivery on their own commit
ments.
Short Covering
Demand Is Heavy
The "short covering" demand
In some issues was so heavy it
was 30 minutes or so before open
ing prices could be determined,
The first transaction in Chrys
ler was 10.000 shares at 35 up
from yesterday's close, and the
opening sale of United States
Steel was a block of 15,000
shares, '-" $4.
More than 1,000,000 shares
changed owners in the first hour,
The pacetben quieted down, but
buying resumed in the last hour
and closing prices generally were
not far under the highs for the
day.
The change in the reserve
board's policy on margin require
ments was quickly approved in
Wall street. It was regarded, how
ever, as a factor for the short
term improvement of the stock
market, rather than an element
for the long term betterment of
business conditions generally.
The financial district seemed
to feel that in the long run the
market would follow the lead of
business, and not business follow
the market.

Fight Shifts,
Foreign Area
In new Peril
SHANGHAI, Oct. 29-(Friday)
(JP)-Tb9 tide of the great battle
for Shanghai rolled westward to
day, bringing new perils to large
sections of the international city
in which many Americans and
other foreigners have their homes.
Victorious at Tazaag .and
Chapei, Japanese army and ma
rine units were being steadily re
inforced all along the northern
bank of Soochow creek, the new
front west of the international
settlement.
Apparently they were awaiting
the sero honr of an offensive
designed to drive the Chinese
back to strongly entrenched new
defense lines running through
Hungjao, southwestern suburb
which already was under Japanese
artillery fire.
The indicated area of the im
pending battle .is a strip some
five miles wide, from Soochow
creek on the north to the Whang-
poo river on the south, including
fine residences and country clubs.
Some of this territory is inside
the British defense lines.
Along the bank of Soochow
creek forces which had retreated
from Tazang and Chapei, ' key
points of their old front north of
Shanghai, were preparing for a
determined stand in a maze of
trenches.
Hungjao airdrome, about three
miles southwest of Shanghai, was
one of the principal Japanese ob
jectives. It was there a Japanese
naval officer and sailor were
killed the night of August 9, a
prelude to the Shanghai conflict.
. The Japanese command as
signed its capture to marine units,
so they could avenge their naval
comrades.

said he did not contemplate a
single rate for all power sold, but
that he wanted to make his list of

Cutting off China From
Russia Frank Aim of
Newest Proposal
PARIS, Oct. 28 -(P) - A high
Japanese source disclosed to the
Associated Press today what were
said to be the minimum condi
tions on which Japan was willing
to negotiate peace in China.
This informant suggested inter
ested powers, particularly the
United States, start conversations
looking toward an armistice,
which he indicated the Japanese
would like before intense winter
cold begins in certain sections of
China.
Japan, he said, was disposed to
accept friendly conversations on
peace in China and suggested the
nine-power conference on the Chinese-Japanese
war called for
Brussels November 3 give inter
ested nations" a mandJtte to sound
out the Japanese and Chinese
governments on their minimum
terms. The Japanese terms ..were,
said to be: ,
1. Temporary occupation by
Japan of China's ' five northern
provinces. . ... . .
2. Creation of a neutral tone
from which troops would be ex
cluded and in which order would
be maintained by an internation
al police force of Japanese, Amer
ican, British, French and Italian
troops.
Views of Army Are
Not Ascertained
These terms, the Associated
Press was informed, represented
the views of Japanese diplomats
in Europe and presumably those
of the Tokyo government, al
though the views of the powerful
Japanese army leaders were not
ascertained.
Tbe significant point was that
Japan intended to keep her armies
on a line to the south of China a
five northern provinces. The
frankly admitted object of this
was to prevent Russia from send
ing troops to China through Mon
golia. The statement was considered
important because it is known
several delegations are going to
Brussels with the realistie idea
of trying to determine the mini
mum terms Japan would exact
and the maximum conditions
China would accept.
