Matowchen was considered by Chi nese commanders the key to Tan cheng, which had become the south ernmost point of the Japanese advance toward the Lungtwl railway. 15 miles away. Tancheng was encircled and beleag uered, Chinese said, though It had formed the east side of a salient un til counter offensives from the op poslte corner at Talerchwang appar ently straightened out the battle line Taps Driven Back At the same time a sudden attack by General Mlao Chen-Lleu's 57th army was reported to have driven the Japanese back toward Antungwel on the Yellow sea. In a battle along the Shantung-Klangsu border. The attack believed the threat ol a Japanese thrust from the north at Halchow seaport terminus of the Lunghal rail way. Pressure was being Increased on Tancheng by a relnvlgorated army, which qualified foreign observers on the war front said had doubled Its fighting efficiency and striking pow er since It retired, a humbled and routed rabble, from the shambles of Chapel In Shanghai and from the central government capital at Nan king. A month ago It struck decisively at Talerchwang, forcing a Japanese re treat, the first major defeat of a mod ern Japanese army. The Japanese army recoiled, but gathered Its forces, and greatly re inforced for a supreme effort to wipe out the stain, renewed the drive to connect Its seaboard conquests from Manchoukuo to Hangchow bay. Chinese rvar Way The Japanese took Urn, and re ported their artillery within range of the Lunghal railway. But barring the way was a Chinese army of 800.000 strong, Its lessons learned from the fighting at Shang hai and Nanking, better armed, with new equipment, fighting under much more efficient staff direction and above all vastly encouraged by its victory at Talerchwang when It punc tured the legend of Japanese Invinc ibility. While Japanese superiority In ar tillery, planes and mechanised equip ment was still a powerful advantage, observers on the front said Chinese were adapting their tactics to mini- , mize their lack of equipment. j These tactics consisted of night at tacks when the Japanese were unable use their supporting arms effi ciently In aid of the Infantry, and maneuvering of the Japanese Into hand-to-hand combat. In these close encounters. Chinese used hand grenades and big swords and made their numerical superiority count, whereas the Japanese artillery was ;;?eless. -4 Ban Ken Magazine For Obscene Yarn WASHINGTON, May fj.

Wi ill MX4 BEN H. GIBSON lm ,.;, '5e -3 SAY FILM COSTS DUE 10 BURNED-OUT STARS HOLLYWOOD, Calif., May 5. (AP) The Independent Theater Owners' Association, Inc., of New York, charged today In an advertisement In a Hollywood trade publication that movie producers were paying excessive salaries to stars who had lost their drawing power at the box office. Representing many hundreds of 'non-circuit" theaters throughout the United States, or those theaters not controlled by the studios them selves, the Independents said the practice was "not only burdensome to the studios and the stockholders, but to the exhibitors who. in the final analysis, suffer by the non drawing power of these players." 'Among these players," the adver tisement continued, "whose dramatic ability Is unquestioned but whose box office draw is nil, can be num bered Mae West, Edward Arnold, Greta Gar bo. Joan Crawford, Katha rine Hepburn and many others." The advertisement stated that the producers were so afraid of losing the stars they tied them up for many, years under contract with the result that the stars continued to receive top salaries far after their box office rating slides. f F SALEM.
