FAIL IN ATTEMPT Nipponese Retain Hold On Chiumenkow, Key Coastal Route Japanese Planes Bomb Northeastern Jehol (By the Associated Press) A strong Chinese force failed In an attempt today to drive Japanese troops from Chiumenkow In the Great Wall of China, dominating the coastal route from China proper Into the Chinese province of Jehol. Jap anese captured the pass more than two weeks ago in preparation for their announced Invasion of Jehol. Japanese planes made their sixth bombing raid in two weeks over northeast Jehol yesterday, breaking up a Chinese military concentration west of Kallu. More than 30,000 Chinese troops were preparing for a clash In that region. Helho Occupied Tokyo learned today that Japanese troops have occupied Helho, last im portant town on the Siberian border to be brought under the Manchukuo government. The drive to Helho, In the extreme north, followed recent offenses to the Soviet border on west and east extremities of Manchuria. The Russian government denied Japanese reports that It had entered a secret agreement with China to strengthen that country's antl-Japa-ns boycott. The mayor of Canton Informed the Japanese consul at Hongkong that four men recently executed in Can ton were "bandits" trafficking in arms. Previous reports were that the Chinese nationalist government and the anti-Japanese boycott society ap proved their executions as boycott violators. Progress by eXague The League of Nations special com mittee made some progress today In drawing up a report on the Slno Japanese controversy which will In clude recommendations for league ao tlon. . The Japanese war office at Tokyo minimized the Importance of the bat tle at Chiumenkow and said there were less than 2000 Japanese troops In the Shanhalkwan area. f- KM ED Broadcast Schedule Saturday A.

(Associated Press Photo) NEW MUSIC FILM USES OLD IDEAS By ROBMN COONS HOLLWOOD Something new In screen musical drama has been con cocted from some of the oldest in gredients known to authors of stories of back ' stage life, and the whole, embel lished with a cast of stars, makes up the new film "Forty-second Street." It la a picture that will add Im petus to the re vival of musical screen shows. And the geratar wonder is that It Is nothing more RuBv KEELBR startling. In Its elements, than an other of those stories . about the agonies and heartaches of a musical comedy troupe that is about to go on the rocks before the try out, be cause of the angel's displeasure with the leading lady, who breaks her ankle and thus gives a chance to the unknown chorus girl who saves the day I mean the night.

Stone, Robert MoWade, Allen Jenkins, Eddie Nugent, a flock of others and most Importantly Ruby Keeler, who flashes brilliantly as the little un known, and quite credibly saves the show. Where "Forty-Second Street' draws novelty and freshness Is In Its ex pert characterizations up and down the line of talent, Its quick tempo despite much music and dancing. Its tunes, Its htimor, Its vivid picture of the unglamorous, sweaty labor, from start to finish, that goes Into a Broadway musical, and Its finale the scenes from the show, revealing how Ruby Keeler plnch-hits her way to fame. These scenes take full advantage of cinematic liconse and pardonably Ignore the limitations that might be expected on any musical comedy stage. Three technical experts on the Eng lish setting of Constance Bennett's new film are confounded, Elsa Maxwell, internationally cele brated aa hostess and authority on social affairs. Sir Gerald Grove and Madam Grenler, who once was head of the wardrobe for the queen, singly or combined can do nothing about it.

They pointed out only 27 have been Issued so far In the entire so-called stock market investigation. Also they claim he wanted to work from bis own office in New York, with no hindrance from the committee. That led Mr. Cooper and Senator Norbeck t othe parting of the ways. The latest hot tip from inside the committee Is that hey are looking over he books of a certain large bank affiliate in New York. No one will accept tips or even announcements from that committee any more un less they are accompanied by sworn affidavits. A certain senator has designated a private investigator to run down in formation about a new kind of black mailing racket in Washington. It seems certain companies have been threatened with official inves tigation unless they paid an amount of money. The evidence will be hard to get. The companies do not care to go Into the matter.. Those who paid do not want the fact advertised that they were such suckers. One which refused to pay and thratened exposure Is satisfied to let things stand as they are. There Is no Indication that anyone In official position is involved. The private Inquiry la being directed at an attorney who has only a nominal official connection It Is verv prob able that the racket will be broten up offstage, but there may be a con gressional investigation If conclusive evidence can be obtained. Some textile Interests have Joined the opposition to the farm bill. That may result In depriving It of three to five senate votes. The strategy of the opposition lobby now favors delay. They think thit If they can prevent action March 4 they will be all right. That Is a short-sighted policy.
