Oct. 13 (JP A minese spokesman declared to night that Japanese forces had lost more than 3000 dead and wounded in a disastrous attempt to crash the Chinese lines across Wentsaopang creek Into TaranK. four miles northwest of the Inter national settlement. The Japanese army used IS. 000 men In its desperate thrust. A Japanese flying column pushed ahead of the main body three miles to the outskirta of Taiaug where a murderoua machine gun and hand grenade fire forced tne troops to retire to the original position. Taiang Is the most stronrtv de fended town on the Chinese battle line. Ita capture by the Japanese might force the Chinese troops to withdraw from the hotly-contested Chapel sector In order to escape oeing flanked and surrounded from the west. Despite withering fire from land, aea and air the Chinese clung to their lines on all other fronts in the Shanghai district. While Japanese planea resumed dropping bombs on Chapel a f;w yards outside tha international settlement boundary, the echo of their staccato machine-gunning of three British motor cars late yes terday was creating more Inter national consternation. Although no official statements had been made it was learned that the attack might hare Bri tish, Italian and Russian repercus sions since cltiiens of those na tions were passengers in the auto mobiles. The passengers were understood to be: Flight Lieutenant S. S. Murray, assistant British air at tache; Capt. W. L. Shlnn, British, of the China Navigation company; M. Braham, British, formerly of the Chinese railway administra tions; C. Marshall, British; Lieut. Francesco Rebeizl, of the Italian nary; M. Shahor, secretary to the oTiet military attache; and an unnamed Russian woman. The Japanese planes attacked the foreign cars near Misghong, 16 miles from Shanghai, while they were en route from the Chinese capital at Nanking. A Russian driver for the American-owned Bills Motor company. D. E. Ftttinghoff, said he was driving a flagless pilot car con taining Rebeiti, Braham and a Chinese newspaperman a half a mile ahead of the other two ara and was not attacked. Both Fittlnghoft and Shlnn de clared they could novsee how the Japanese could have mistaken the cars since union jacks were paint ed on top of the two attacked. Fittinghoff asserted he had map ped the route and details of the expedition for the British authori ties to notify the Japanese. The British embassy maintained that the Japanese had been in-1 formed of the trip. Japanese as-! aerted that, while the -Japanese i k-own better than to pick a pla -c navy was informed that a party like that to try to make peace of Britons was coming to Shang-lwitn thein Injuns." hal. the army was not advised Xever Saw Captain Jack and for that reason the flleis Asked if he had ever seen Can- tain Jack he replied in the nega tive. "Nope, never laid eyes on mm. The fog was so thick dui ing the battle that morniag we never saw even an ordinary Modoc except one that would stand ud on a jutting point of rocks and wave a flag and whoop every time the fog lifted a bit. One hundred rifles would be trained on him, but he always ducked and was out of sight before the bullets got within 600 yards. A lot of people try to make It out we didn't get licked that day. I say we did. We went In there to get Captain Jack and we came out without him. didn't we? If VETERAN OF MODOC CAMPAIGN REVISITS LAVA BEDS SCENE (Continued from Tage One) it prevented the soldiers from even seeing Its source. That was in 1873. The pad weekend, these two veterans cf the Modoc war, Captain Apple- gate, si, and Ueorge anderhoof, 83, shook hands again for tl.t first time in 64 years and recount ed reminiscences of (lava which few men are old enough to remem ber. It the muster roll of that com pany of 69 men were called today, only five of them could answer, Here." Beside Applecate an Vanderhoof, its only survivln members are Blllle Shook, Si now In the Klamath Valley hojiil tal recuperating from a broken leg received while helping with haying operatlona on the Marion Barnes ranch: Dick .Mosenraskct an Indian living at Yainax, and one man in California. Knllsla on Sly Vanderhoof, who came here for a visit from his home in Boise. Ida., with his wife and son, met Billle Shook Sunday for the firt time. Born in the same year, both crossed the plains in 1S4 and belonged to the same company in the Modoc war; yet Shook and Vanderhoof had never so much as seen each other before. Captain Applegate explained that even though they both served nnd him, Shook was stationed with a detachment assigned to protect tUe settlements of the valley, whereas anderhoof was actively engagtd In the campaign in the Lava Beds. At the time the trouble with the Modoc Indians began to assume serious proportions. George Van derhoof was living with bis father on land they had taken up at Goose lake. One day a recruiting officer came through the little pioneer settlement there enlisting volunteer fighters to "help wnlp the Modoca." The Idea appealed to George, but ha wasn't so sure bow It would set with his father so he alipped away and enlisted without parental approval or even knowledge. Lucky Thirteen He joined 11 other young men from that section and set out for the Lava Beds. Meanwhile George's father had learned what hia son was up to and determined to prevent it. Mounted on a mule, he set out after the party, catch ing up with them at Drew's val ley, only to find that once enlisted. George had to go through with it. Not to be outdone by his son, ho signed up on the spot and became the thirteenth Goose lake volun teer. In spite of the unlucky number, anderhoof states that although some of them were wounded, they all returned to their homea with their scalps liv tact. Vanderhoof, now gray-haired, but with bis tall, ragged frame giving evidence of the sturdy Pi oneer stock from which he came. visited the Lava Beds Monday afternoon In the company of D. J. Good, son-in-law of Captain Applegate. Obvious Trap As he spoke of the experience, he laughed a bit ruefully. "In a way, I wish I'd never gone back there," he said, "It's all so differ ent not at all the way I've remembered It all these years. Where Tule lake once stretched away for miles, sow there's noth ing but stubble. Where we strug gled and sweat over the rough. jagged rocks, not knowing when a Modoc bullet was going to find us. ... . and they came plenty close. . . . now there's nice neat paths with a dust-coating of oil! "And I hate to think that Gen eral Canby just walked right Into a death trap that any child could have recognized. Why, there's a rim of rocks on three sides of that peace tent' site. A mere handful of Indians could have picked off ion soldiers there just like It was child's play. They should have MAIMS LABOR BOARD PARTISANSH IP October (Continued from Page One) York. Mrs. Alice Roaseter or Kan Francisco and A. Howard Mvera ot Hoston. The resolution adopted by the convention contended that the board had "usurped" power which the Wagner Labor Dis putes act had not given It, In stepping into the war between tne AKL and the CIO. The act should be amended, the report said, to keep the board out of the dispute and to protect craft unions against Lewis Industrial uniona. Issue Sidetracked Without discussion, the con vention also adopted a resolu lions committee report on wage and hour legislation which avoided a direct stand on that issue. Before federation officials took any stand, the report eald, they should consult with offi cials of the building trades, me tal trades, railway employes and label trades departments. "Much In Common As for the board Itself. Frev said the AFL respected the "In. tegrity" of Chairman J. Warren Madden but that the federation's attitude toward the other two members Kdwln S. Smith and Donald Wakefield Smith was not the same. He told the convention that Edwin S. Smith gave a nrlvate inner in Washington last June at wnicn John L. Lewis. CIO leader, and the counsellor of the nussian emoaasy were guests. At mat time, Frey said, many cases involving CIO-AFI. ril.. puies were pending before the ooara.

Uiilni-y and new machinery con alructed for the former vea.nl Responsibility for the Incident anoata tne quincy never was iixea. An electrical fire aboard the cruiser Indianapolis In August 193. was found to have been been caused by naila and phono graph needlea driven through a power rable. Another fire, caused oy a snort circuit, caused 1350. 000 damage to the battleship luioraoo in tne Brooklyn navy jarii. ' Although navy department of flcials withheld comment on the Vincennea Indicent, it seemed cer tain the development would result in additional precautlona to pre vent sabotage or accidents to other vessels under construction.
