arEPTOTTO TATL TRIBUNE. rETDFOTlP, OTTECiOy, FRIDAY. 'OCTOBER 15. 1937. PXOE THREE 9 E COUNTER THRUST IN CHAPEISECTOR Bitter Fighting Rages Jap anese Surprised Suffer Heavy Casualties Un able Land Reinforcements SHANGHAI, Oct. 15. (AP) Ao tn tn battle raged today In the Cha pel and Hongkew sectors, when the Chinese armies were making a, bitter counter thrust to stave off the long expected Japanese general attack along the 35-mile battlefront north west of Shanghai. A minimum of 150 dead and wounded were officially accounted for as a result of sheila and air bombs falling In the streets of. the settlement and Its suburbs. Three Japanese civilians vwe killed vnd three wounded , e, Japanese spokesman announced, during the Chinese shelling of Kongkew, . the Japanese-occupied sector of the In ternational settlement. One of the dead was Tomokato Xwakura, corres pondent of the Tokyo newspaper Hochl and younger brother of Prince Iwakura. Ator Ho uk Hit One shell struck the Astor House hotel, now occupied by Japanese ref ugees, and another hit the Seventh Day Adventlst hospital on Range rood, the. spokesman said. There were no Injuries and but minor dam age to the two Important structures. The terrific Chinese artillery and Infantry attacks were carried out against the Japanese positions on the Chapel front, a Chinese spokes man declared, to determine the act ual strength of the Japanese troops manning that sector. - After two hours of savage, close quarter fighting through the streets of Hongkew, the Chinese obtained the required Information. As a result, the spokesman said, the Chinese forces were confident of holding the Chapel sector against anything the Japanese have to offer at present. Japs Surprised The raids were conducted with such lightning-like speed and fierce ness, he added, the Japanese troops were taken completely by surprise and suffered extremely heavy cas ualties. A tour of the battle area this morning showed the Japanese barrl cades badly smashed while the Chi nese were safely In possession of scores of alleyways and lanes form erly held by tbe Japanese. The Chinese raids, which extended to, within a block of the Japanese consulate, threw the Japanese civil ians In Hongkew Into a. panic. More than 200 shells fell In the area, blasting up pavements and shattering buildings. The Chinese Immedltely converted these ruined buildings Into veritable fortresses for renewed on slaughts against the Japanese. 9 Repulse Reinforcements Japanese reinforcements attempted to land at Yangllnkow and other points above Lluho on the Yangtze rlcer, the Chinese spokesman said but Buffered such casualties from Chinese land mines and machine guns they were forced to return to their ships. Shanghai awoke thla morning after a. night of terror to count tbe dam age done by six Chinese air raids over the area, intensive Japanese bombing on the fringes of the International settlement and French concession 'and the deadly Si no-Japanese artillery duel. The foreign casualties were appare- entely limited to an American sailor and a marine, but Admiral Harry Yarnell and other American officers were credited with narrow escapes. They were standing on the bridge of Varn ell's flagship, the cruiser Au gusta, within a few feet of Radio Man J. P. MrMlchael, of Connersvllle, Ind.. when McMlctael waa struck by piece of shrapnel and slightly wounded. Japanese Regret Japanese officials expressed rffret that any of their shells fell vltfaln tbe settlement and apologized to American marine commanders for their Inaccuracy in dropping two alT bombs on the International side of Boochow creek and wounding Milton Hlatt of Crystal River Fla, In the left arm. Japanese planes resumed their now er diving over the pootung area across the Whang poo river in an at tempt to punish the Chinese batter ies there for thlr night long shelling. Chlnece sources claimed 30 Chinese planes attacked nearby Japanese po sitions during the night, but for eign observers spotted only three. The planes defied the most Intense Japanese anti-aircraft barrage yet. One bomb hit the Japanese -owned Shanghai cotton mill, which Is being used as a troop base; several landed near the airdrome In Yangtrepoo and one barely missed the British-owned Shanghai gas plant, A Japanese naval spokesman ex pressed the belief tnat seven eight Chinese planes participated In the raida but said no military or naval damage was done. One Chinese plane waa seen to nasi hiah over the settlement, burn ing navigation light which were not extinguished untu ine jap&ncso w rage fire opened. This led to tbe opinion one plane acted as a lure for the Japanese guns while the others slipped by and attacked Yangtsepoo. FIRM BELIEF IN (Continued from Page One.) assistance program now in effect and which will be expanded in January by reducing the age limit Is a meas ure to be paid for by both literally and figuratively scratching the bot tom of the bin. There are no more revenues available than those encom passed within the budget approved by the legislature." Oregon Over Average Replying to the charge that Ore gon bad been niggardly with relation to old age assistance. Governor Mar tin submitted figures showing that this state was paying an average of $21.28 for this relief as compared to the national average of $18-90 and $20.90 for the state of Washington. The governor concluded: "By frank and open discussion we can scotch the Invidious work of demagogue and false political leaders and turn our energies to constructive efforts. Otherwise there will be much lost motion in traveling up blind al leys and butting, our heads against stone walla to no earthly advantage." Governor Martin received a rousing ovation. in the San Francisco Chronicle, and Marshall 8. Nell.
