Defenders Claim Capture of
Matowchen, Key to Tan-
cheng Chinese Effic
iency Seen Growing Fast
SHANGHAI, May 5-PAn In
spired Chinese army claimed capture
ol Matowchen, walled town four
miles northwest of Tancheng, as con
tinued "rapid progress" was reported
today In erasing the second big Japanese-
offensive In south Shantung
province.
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.

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.
