(Sunday (i China's "lost battalion' ex caped its besieged warehouse-cita-4 del early today, running a blazing machine gun gauntlet to sanctuary In Shanghai's international settlement. At the height of a furious bit-tie that sprayed shells over foreign-owned areas central Shanghai, 377 Chinese dashed down a 20-yard opening to safety.

They were disarmed immediately by British troops and interned for duration of the conflict. Twenty-six were gravely wounded. Chinese said they had left behind 20 dead who fulfilled their pledge to defend the warehouse until death in the face of a Japanese "surrender or die" ultimatum. Ten minutes after the last survivor fled the crumbling warehouse Japanese hoisted the Rising Sun flag over the site of one of the most dramatic episodes in this con-flic. Colonel Hsleh Chin-Yuan, commander of the battalion, part of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek's own 8th division, was the last to reach safety of foreign protection.

He said the capitulation was on Chiang's direct orders to evacuate because the battalion was "too valuable to spare." With them the escaping Chinese brought national and battalion flags had fluttered above the warehouse through a four days of pounding atacks. I was an eye-witness to the deadly drama from beginning to end, watching from a United States marine sandbag redoubt 50 yards directly across Soochow creek from the doomed fortress. Terrific roars of Japanese big guns shook the sandbags as shells hurtled through the entire structure, landing at many points in the international settlement to endanger hundreds of foreig nand Chinese lives. The Chinese defenders answered the attacks all night with hand grenades and machine gun fire. Surrounding the strucure, on three sides Japanese three-inch guns blasted the warehouse until the Chinese garrison fled.

The top floors burst into flames as they retreated. The Japanese artillery attack menaced the gasworks in downtown Shanghai and its huge gas storage tank endangering the lives of 30 American marines patrolling the sector. Two shells struck the works but the tank remained unhit. VOLS' RUN OVER GEORGIA ELEVEN KNOXVILLE, Oct. 30.

(P) 31ue-fingered pass receivers and a trio of nimble-footed quarterbacks gave Tennessee's Volunteers an overwhelming 32 to 0 victory over the University of Georgia today before 15,000 spectators. Tennessee scored thrice by the atrial route and twice on the ground with Tom Hfrrp and Babe Wood, both quarterbacks, going across for the -tallies. The other field general in the spotlight, George Cafego, a sophomore from West Virginia, was the game's star, tossing two payoff passes, directing the team superbly and showing a fleet pair of heels tot the hapless Walkermen March 80 Yards! for Touchdown; Wave Wins 14-7 By PURSER HEWITT TULANE STADIUM, NEW ORLEANS, Oct. 30.

1 The Rebel army set Tulane back on ifs heels with a second period touchdown, forcing Tulane to come from behind to tie in the first half. Then the Ole Miss lads played stride for stride with the Green through all but thi final minutes of the closing periods. Pass interceptions were a dime a dozen and fumbles as profuse as chrysanthemums as the ball changed hands in a continuous series of nerve-tingling And when Tulane scored the second touchdown over a desperately courageous Red and Blue line, Dub Mattis kicked at the extra point four separate times before the officials okehed the game's last scoring play. The well-drilled Rebel troops marched exactly 80 yards for their touchdown, Lenhardt, Hapes, an Hall aternating in moving the stakes with effective stabs and slants through the Green defense. With the ball on the Tulane 48, Hapes passed to Kincaide on the Green 21, and with Nyhan tripping Banker on the play, Kincaide was behind both defensive men and across the line with little trouble.

Kinard made the point good. In the third period Ole Miss covered a Tulane fumble at the Green 31 and rambled down to the seven yard line before surrendering both the ball and the last Mississippi scoring chance. Tulane thrust Burton "Buddy" Banker into the limelight as a (Continued on Page Sixteen) PRICE OF WHEAT LEAVES OLD RUT CHICAGO, Oct. 30 fiP) Advancing prices of wheat at Buenos Aires and Winnipeg, stimulated apparently by reports of frost in Argentina, pulled Chicago wheat values out of a rut of nervous fluctuations today.

Last year these concerns combined to produce more homes in Jackson' than in any other city in the South. In truth, the combined population of 714,298 of Memphis, Little Rock, Chattanooga and Birmingham constructed only 8 more homes than were built in Jackson last year. And this year home building is continuing just as fast as then if not faster.

This, indeed, is wonderful evidence of the whole-hearted cooperation and the complete facilities provided by the many companies that work together to build Jackson homes. The selection of plot of ground, expert advice on planning, choice of lumber, glass, Daint, roofing and other materials, is made under the strict supervision of men who have made a study of building problems. These men and these concerns are not only greatly responsible for the enviable record Jackson has set in home construction, but they have added happiness, security and satisfaction to our community, increased the beauty of our city with homes and buildings placing Jackson "out in front."

Ear If PI frtt English Chinese Enraged Oriental Group In cludes High Army Officials TOKYO, Oct. 30 (P) Members of the unofficial "council on the current situation," including high army officers and members of both houses of parliament, served notice today diplomatic relations between Japan andv Great Britain might be severed. In a resolution passed unanimously with cheers, i the more than 103 highly-placed Japancp charged Great Britain had been assisting China and added: 'The Japanese can not allow the British to continue, unmolested in their present Improper doings." The resolution declr.red Britain had been the main driving force In persuading convocation of the Brussels nine-power pact conference November 3 in an apparent effort to start intervention in the Chinese-Japanese undeclared war.

"If the British fail to reconsider their attitude," th-J resolution sai.1, "we may be forced to take an attitude of grave determination by severing years of friendly diplomatic relations." Those present at the emergency council meeting Included Tiejiro Yamamoto, one of the dominant political party leaders and r. former cabinet member; Lt. Gen. Yoshit-sugu Tatekawa, prominent in nationalist movements, and Shinco Tsuda, an outstanding industrialist. Anti-British feeling has been rising steadily in Japan with the charges that the British fostered a report that Japanese airmen slew 2.000 Chinese non-combatants in Canton and the Japanese navy had torpedoed Chinese fishing Junks.

Hongkong, the British crown colony on the southern China coast, has been mentioned continually as source of munitions for China and more recently it has also been claimed British munition carriers have entered Tsingtao, Shantung province port In north China. Among other charges against the British, Japanese editorials have stated frequently that England had caused the United States to change its original attitude of "understanding" for the Japanese position.

Tied era KV4 DUKE CAUSES SOME DITHE1 Manhattan Blue-Bloods Unwilling to Reveal Welcome Plans By DALE HARRIS OX NEW YORK, Oct. 30 (JP) Your correspondent made inquiry today in certain super-colossal, ultra-uppity social circles to learn what society is going to do about the duke and duchess of Windsor, come michaelmas and thereabouts. For answer he got a load of lifted lorgnettes and a flock of "I-beg-your-pardons." Society, Grade although not what it was in the good old carriage days, is nonetheless conscious that the world is waiting for a sign from it.

Society recalls with a catch in its throat those historic words of the dying Charles II "Take good care of little Nell" and stands ready to do as much for the duke. Off the record, however, it is a little put out with the duke for abdicating, for an axiom of society is: When you get up there, stay up there or quit ringing my doorbell. Neither the duke nor society is willing to be quoted. A single faux pas could easily upset an entire season's schedule of afternoon teas. Nancy Randolph, who writes of society for.

the New York Daily News, advises society to cease quivering and adds: "Former playmates of the duke in New ork and other cities are not apt to be called upon to jeopardize their prized social prestige in London where his royal highness and her grace are pariah by playing host. There is reason to believe the duke will avoid any contacts xxx which might cast doubt on the seriousness of his visit to America." On the duke's last visit he was the prince of Wales, then, and that makes a difference he showed no enthusiasm for top flight social maneuvers. Democracy was the keynote h'yuh, Joe, old bean, all hail the jolly old workingman. As heir to the throne of England, the prince was definitely big league Returning here next month as duke, he will be accepted as still big league. Returning here next month as duke, he will be accepted as still big league, but sort of St.

Louis Browns or Brooklyn Dodgers. Society, being exceptionally pernickety and feeling that one must draw a line somewhere, is discouraged about the duke's open mingling with the hoi polloi. It hears that he goes right down into coal mines and into factories and exchanges banter with toilers who actually have never been presented at court. Society hopes the duke and duchess won't mind too much. CROPCONTROL SAID FAVORED Senate Spokesmen Say Ma- jority of Farmrs Want Program Passed SPRINGFIELD, 111., Oct.

30 Two members of the senate agricultural sub-committee, which for a month has been holding hearings in various parts of the country seeking farm legislation sentiment, today said a vast majority of farmers wanted production control. Senator Elmer Thomas of Oklahoma, said 95 per cent of the farmers who have appeared before the subcommittee want production control incorporated in the farm bill to be considered by congress in a special session next month. "They want the, ever normal granary as insurance against the non-productive years and continuation of the coil conservation program," Senator Thomas asserted. Senator Allen Ellender of Louisiana, declared all farmers recognized the need for enactment of a farm bill, and while there was difference of opinion as to its provisions, all wanted legislation that would bring about stable prices "prices they can depend on, not subject to violent fluctuation." He said the majority favored a law which would make production control compulsory. Senator Thomas raid the committee had found conditions among the southern farmers "terrible and he predicted they would become worse unless the government aided with a program of crop curtailment and subsidies or benefit payments.

Senator Thomas said it was likely the legislation proposed at the special session would be a modified version of the agricultural adjustment act. Afier fed fSnJ ITALY CALLS RIS ENVOY French Relations Strained By Leaving Minor Official in Charge PARIS, Oct. 30 (J?) Premier Mussolini of Italy today recalled his ambassador from Paris in a move which diplomats considered as aggravating France's strained diplomatic relations with Italy. Ambassador Vittorio Cerruti will return to Rome tomorrow, night, the Italians said, after a leave of absence of "more -or less long duration Baron Angelo Scaduto Men-dola, counsellor of embassy, is also leaving his post, placing the deli-cats Italo-French relations in the hands of a minor official. The sudden recall was made, a usually well-informed diplomatic source said, because France had failed to send an ambassador to Rome and left a charge d'affaires in control of Italian relations rather than recognize the fascist conquest of Ethiopia.

(In Rome informed quarters said the Cerruti move was part of a contemplated shakeup in the Italian diplomatic service. These unconfirmed reports said the new ambassador would probably be Renato Prunas, now in the Rome foreign ministry. Mussolini was said to want to try a new ambassador as he was not satisfied with relations with France). An Italian embassy spokesman said no communique would be issued concerning Cerruti's departure but "there will be no denial." The recall was further confirmed by the declaration of an Italian official that Prunas, former embassy secretary at London, was coming to Paris as charge d'affaires. French foreign office officials said they had no confirmation of the diplomatic change but added "We know Italy has contemplated such a measure for some time.

It is not our fault." A spokesman pointed, out that France had named Rene de Saint-Quentin as ambassador to Rome a year ago on the retirement of Count Charles de Chambrun. Italy, the spokesman said, had refused to accept de Saint-Quentin unless he was accredited to King Vittorio Emanuelle as emperor of Ethiopia as well as king of Italy. This, he said, France had refused to do as a member of the league of nations which still considers Halle Selassie as emperor of the Italian-occupied empire. Diplomatic quarters said that the of Cerruti would render even more difficult the negotiations between Paris and Rome over' the diplomatic problems arising out of the non-intervention deadlock on the Spanish civil war and its attendant threats to tranquility in the Mediterranean.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30 WPA bosses aren't saying so publicly, but they are firmly convinced that more relief funds will be voted before the winter is over. This is despite the fact that Con-press passed the current WPA budget, with the express understanding that the money would last until June 30, 1933, the end.

At the time this budget was voted the depth of winter approximately 1,650.000 jobless were on WPA rolls. Obviously this number could not be maintained over an entire 12-month period on only $1,500,000,000. So beginning in Mar.

and continuing through the spring and summer, Hopkins pared the relief "load" to the bone, dropping a total of 700,000 persons. By this surgey he put WPA fi nances in a position to meet the in-4 creased winter demand for relief, and at the same time stay within the limits of his appropriation. The plan was sound and businesslike. Butxthen cropped up an unexpected factor. The business recession barged into the picture, completely upsetting Hopkin's calculations.

Prices of shares of several leading corporations at the close of trading were from $5 to nearly $15 above the levels of a week ago. Today's session was not in itself very inspiring.
