SHANGHAI, - June 26-Sunday
) -(;P)-Chinese a n d Japanese
forces fought desperately today
for mastery of the Yangtze river
Talley about 200 miles down
stream from Hankow, the provi
sional capital.
Bloody battles were reported
on the south bank at Shiangkow
chang, 20 miles below the -Chinese-defended
boom at Matow
chen. This barrier of sunken boats,
timbers, rocks and concrete was
the first barrier to Japanese gun
boats pointing the river offensive
against Hankow. -
Japanese infantrymen thrust
overland through the hills of An
il wei province to assist In the
river offensive being conducted
primarily by landing parties borne
upriver under protection of the
attacking gunboats.

Drive Halted
The Chinese declared the Yang
tze offensive had been halted.
Shore batteries aided by fast Chi
nese bombing planes were said
to have driven the attacking gun
boats down river after they man
aged once to get within shelling
range of the Maiowchen boom. ,
The Chinese asserted two Japa
nese gunboats were sunk in an
air-raid there yesterday.
(The Chinese army - headquar
ters at Hankow announced more
than half of a Japanese landing
force of 5000 men were killed
or wounded when It was counter
attacked near Matowchen yester
day.) .
Blocked by widespread -Yellow
river floods in Honan province,
the Japanese were 200 miles from
Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek's
provisional capital, Hankow.
If the river continues to rise
the Japanese may find it impas
sable. Military observers won
dered whether the Japanese,
should the thrust along the Yang

conflict on an active basis.

the Ringling, Barnum & Bailey
circus, and Ralph Whitehead,
head of the American Federation
of Actors,' tonight signed an
agreement for the return of the
circus to its winter quarters at
Sarasota, Fla.

the circus was released to go to
its winter quarters "as soon as
possible." Plans were made for
packing the big tent and animals
on southbound trains, probably

proposed wage reduction of 25
per cent which North said was
necessary if the show was to con

of a wage readjust

the business recovery picture to
day as the stock market surged
upward for the sixth successive
day, completing a week of rising

Wall Street history.
The fresh upward thrust given
tne stock market caused many
to rub their eyes In astonish

of the week's climb. Some price
averages showed It was a bigger
Percentage gain than experienced
in any week in the spectacular

prices ballooned after the bank

since March 1, and wjthin $2.40
of the 1938 high. It rose this
week $6.80, or more than 17 per
cent. Statisticians estimated that
close to $5,000,000,000 had been
added since last Saturday to the
total quoted value of all shares
listed in the stock exchange.
Conflict of opinion between the
new deal and Important sectors
of business management over the
proper wage policy to spur re

developments ot the past 24
hours.

"has given any assurance" the
sweeping price reductions In its

night President Roosevelt called
for a united stand by capital
and labor 'to resist wage slash

reduction, and added he was
"gratified to know" it Involved
