Bombardment Helps Advance An aerial and artillery bom bardment projected the Japanese movement slowly and Inexorably forward. - When the -attackers reached the city, however, they were forced to retire after hand-to-hand fighting in which the Chinese seemed to have superi ority. A Chinese spokesman termed the battle a major engagement. At the end of 24 hours of re lentless fighting the Japanese claimed an advance of two miles from previous positions. Describing the drive as a ma. jor Japanese offensive, a Chinese military spokesman explained the attack was designed to converge on Yangbong from Woosung. Lotien and Ltuhu in order to drive a wedge into the heart of Chinese defenses running from Liuho to Shanghai. Casualties Heaviest Yet In their advance of two miles the Japanese had the tremendous advantage of protective barrages from their warships, airplanes and heavy artillery. In Yanghong itself, Chinese defenders fought Japanese to a standstill with knives, swords and bayonets, finally driving the Invaders to the village outskirts. Once the push was halted. Chinese summoned heavy rein forcements ip an effort to regain their lost pbsitions. Casualties in the battle were the heaviest of any since Shang hai hostilities broke out.

The four members of the com mission who were present at the board meeting said the other five members would concur with the beard of control's views. The proposed three-story build ing. one story of which will be devoted to office space, will cost $739,000. but other costs will bring the total to $1,000,000. Inmates Handle Landscaping The board agreed to take over the $57.000 landscaping job to permit marble construction. This work will be done by penitentiary convicts and state hospital in makes. Work on the Summer street approach will be done by the state highway commission, this street to become the main Pa cific highway entrance to Salem from the north.

The board interpreted this to mean that the building should contain office space.

Sept. 11 (AP) Administration leaders cocked an ear toward the corn and wheat belts today to learn if new of ficial estimates of large crops this year would increase press. ure for a special session of con. gress to strengthen the farm pro. gram. Secretary Wallace, who bag constantly urged the special see. Mon, said declining farm prices would bring this pressure.. The federal crop board reduc ed its ,forecast for corn, wheat, and some other harvests from a month ago in its estimates yes terday, based on September 1 conditions. But it noted that farm production would loom large compared with recent drought years. 50-Cent Corn Officials said the recent level of corn lutures contracts indtcat. ed.- a farm price of about 50 cents a bushel or less, compared with prices near the dollar mark last year. Although the crop board slash ed more than 100,000,000 bush els from its estimate of this year's corn crop. the forecast was still more than 1,000.000 larger than last year and near the longtime average. The crop board noted that the number of pigs, cattle and other livestock was below normal. The new estimate of the 1937 wheat crop also was near the long-time average, but 50 per cent above the average of the last four years. Farmers already are seeding winter wheat for harvest next year and Wallace and officials of the agricultural adjustment administration say that the earlier congress adopts a new farm program, the easier it will be to operate. Ample Supplies Estimates on rice, tobacco. fruits and numerous food crops topped longtime averages with new exceptions. The crop board's new esti mates for 1937 production in cluded: corn 2.549,281,000 bush els; wheat 885,950,000 bushels; oats 1.136,167,000 bushels; bar ley 226,094.000 bushels; rye 51. 869,000 bushels; potatoes 403, 393,000 bushels, and tobacco 1,448,875,000 pounds.
