Kinhwa, 85 miles southwest of Hangchow, is the provisional capital of Chckiang province. Lanchi, 10 miles to the north, was recap tured by the Japanese recently in the first Japanese success in weeks of retreat from Chekiang and Ki- angsi provinces. "Enemy troops in both cities were reinrorced repeatedly, dui they failed to break the Chinese cordon and suffered heavy casualties," a communique said. The high command indicated that Chinese troops, driving north from southern Chekiang were attempting to cut off the Japanese i Other Chinese were striking from the northeast at Kinhwa, site of an air base within easy bombing range of Japan.

Plane Plant Workers' Enlistments Curbed LOS ANGELES, Sept. 5. (3) Men who can make greater con tribution to the war effort by remaining in vital aircraft industries will not be permitted voluntary army enlistments -without clear ance from their local selective service boards. War Undersecre tary Robert P. Patterson has no tified the Aircraft War Production council.

This includes registrants with 2A, 2B and 3B classifications. Patterson's statement followed a council statement that workers left the plants to enlist last week at a rate which, if continued, would cost the companies nearly 1,500,000 production man hours monthly.

JUVENILES (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) I T.on... nv ion out lunuiliuns uc uuruai, Marvin Black, president of the Hollywood Lions club, presented similar views beiore tne meeting of the military and civrlian affairs council of that city Saturday. Black held that there was little reason for young girls to be on the streets at night. Kererring to ordi nances tnat nave already been passed for a "kid curfew" in some sections, whereby the youngsters were even rounded up out of thea tors at the sounding of a curfew whistle, the civic leader expressed the opinion that young people in Hollywood had plenty of time for such entertainment during the daytime. Meanwhile police authorities of Hollywood advanced the theory that the best cure for the ills of juvenile delinquency rested in the creation of activities definitely developed for the particular interest of the 'teen age boys and girls of this area.

"It is as essential that the girls and boys have a recreation center for themselves as it is for the service men to have such facilities," stated an official of the Hollywood police department Friday night.

Miami Patriotic Society ing against the Axis. A Chrysler corporation spokes man said that "any department which is behind schedule or has had trouble getting into full pro duction will use that day (Monday) to full advantage." War workers throughout the land stuck to their machines with little, if any, urging. In Detroit, in fact, CIO spokesmen protested to President Roosevelt against shutdowns they said had been ordered Monday at Chrysler and Ford plants. If any sobering reminder was needed that war puts luxury spending "out of bounds' on a holiday weekend or any other time, it was the disclosure in Washington that the president was expected to an nounce Monday a drastic' order limiting all wages, salaries and farm prices. Millions of Americans" planned stay-at-home" weekends this year.

There was a marked tendency against purely pleasure motoring, what with the tire-gasoline-auto- mobile rationing. Reflecting that, the national safe ty council predicted a traffic toll of 400 killed from 6 p. m. Friday to midnight Monday, compared with 600 fatalities last year. Railroads and bus lines expected 1942 travel peaks, but here again it was troops on furlough, youths heading for school and summer vacationers coming home, rather than travel for pure fun.

Organized labor in many cities cancelled the usual Labor day parades in line with the "stay-on-the- job" theme. President William Green of the American Federation of Labor will speak in Omaha and President Philip Murray of the Congress of Industrial Organiza tions will speak at New Kensing ton, Pa. Symbolizing the Idea that war work goes on at top speed on the holiday, the navy said 150 warships small and large, would be launched or their keels laid in 27 states on Monday. PACIFIC (fOSHMED FROM PAGE ONE) there were new forces to back up the Japanese on Timor, MacArlhur's communique Satur day, after reporting the usual reconnaissance over the northwestern zone, reported that an Allied medium bomber unit had attacked a Japanese cruiser southeast of New Guinea with unknown results There was "no clue to the crnis er's mission. It might have been operating in connection with the southern Solomons zone, the northern Solomons where MacArthur's planes have been attacking new "air bases, or the north coast of New" Guinea.

MacArthur reported that an Allied reconnaissance unit had shot down a Japanese Zero fighter which attempted to intercept it. Of the Milne Bay area, he said only that the situation there, where the Australians were mopping up remnants of the shattered enemy invasion force, was unchanged. China To Fight On WASHINGTON, Sept. 5. (INS) Assurances that China will "never desert her allies" or stop fighting until victory has been won, were given today by Dr.

Hu Shih, retiring Chinese ambassador to the United States. In an exclusive interview intended as a farewell message to the American people, the Chinese envoy, who, for the past four years, has been one, of the most popular members of the diplomatic corps in Washington, said: "I hope the American people will always bear in mind that my people have fought in this war the longest and suffered the most. If my people should show any signs of impatience or anxiety, I hope it will be understandable. "I can assure the American people that my people will never desert their allies, and will never stop fighting until victory has been won. "I also firmly believe that when the war is over, the Chinese people will be one of the great forces for world peace." FAST DAILY FLIGHTS TO TAMPA JACKSOflUILLE HEW ORLEANS 10:40 A.

5. CD The War Production Board moved Saturday to crack down on merchants' hoarding of civilian supplies in order to assure an equit-able nation-wide distribution of necessities. The WPB approved Friday a rrojrram under which Inventories In the hands of retailers and wholesalers will be controlled. The plan, expected to become effective early In 1943. resulted from problems created by heavy buying em the part of some dealers, threatening to create shortages in some areas while an abundance of needed supplies was available elsewhere.

Donald M. Nelson, WPB chairman, said the plan would contribute to an equitable distribution of inventories and could be accomplished "without unnecessary hardships or difficulties" for the retail anl wholesale trade But the plan means that those affected will not -be able to stock up beyond normal Inventories as a safeguard against anticipated shortages In some lines. A special committee drafted the program after conferring with hundreds of merchants and maru facturers. The latter also may be Lmited in their Inventories. A WPB order will be forthcoming which will require reports from each dealer of his stock on hand and his sales by quarters of the year, accompanied by a statement cf the normal inventory.

This would be a stock bearing the same relation to sales as the average quarterly inventory of the years 1929-41 inclusive, had to sales. FIVE-POINT DENIAL FILED IN LIBEL CASE A 5-point denial that a supreme court brief libeled Mr. and Mrs. E. L.

S. Budd. 9701 Biscayne was filed in circuit court Friday by J. Y. Gooch, and his attorney, John A.

B6uvier, defendants in a 1100.000 damage action brought by the Budds. In the brief, attention was drawn to the fact that Mrs. Budd was mentioned under two names, be cause at one period in. the litigation the Budds were not married. The hbel action was the aftermath of a 1937 suit brought by Gooch, chamber of commerce president and head of the J.

Y. Gooch con struction firm, seeking a balance of 15 431.09 claimed by the firm on the Budds" $25,000 Biscayne blvd. home. When Attorney Robert Lane, counsel for the Budds. brought the action, he said he expected it to show how far an attorney can go in a pleading by bringing in material not pertinent to a law suit.

He also expressed the belief the hbel action is the first to originate in a supreme court and certainly the first to originate in the Florida supreme court. The answer filed by Gooch and Bouvier claims there was no publication of the statements at issue, tr.at they are not libelous, that the truth of the statements are not ouestioned bv the Budds, that the words complained of in the brief were privileged and that they were brought forth in a Judicial pro ceeding.

when we were forced down to a depth of 190 feet because of depth charge attacks of the enemy. Un fortunately First Mate Holler was injured and had to be replaced by Second Lieutenant Schulz. He took the wheel and made a mis take in his calculations. "He thought we were still 10 to 12 yard from a reef when we actu ally hit it. Within two minutes the engine room and the tower were full of water and the boat listed 20 degrees.

"Eighteen comrades managed to escape the submarine but 14 of them met death in the oil-covered sea. One man could not swim and sank right away. Two went mad and in their delirium took off their inflated jackets because they thought they saw land." WEATHER V. WTARTMKNT Of COMMERCE WKATHKR FT RF.AIT LOCAL WEATHER REPORT Krt. 5.

Meanwhile, the carpenters an nounce they were continuing to fill their agreement with the school board and are laying, sanding and finishing floors in the building. Desks are being installed with out finish, the carpenters said. It was the painters protest over car penters finishing the desks that brought up the dispute.

Painters are holding to their re fusal to go on the school job unless the carpenters are prevented from doing the finishing work, which the carpenters say they have been doing for many years. The school board gave the contractors 36 hours to settle the argument on the threat their performance bonds would be forfeited because the work is lagging, but as the Labor day week-end intervenes the contractors will have until Tuesday to straighten the matter before the penalty is invoked. Repair contracts involved amount to approximately $100,000. Schools are scheduled to open Sept. 14.

Monsignor Valeri, had made one of a number of protests to Mar shal Henri Philippe Petain, it was said, the Vichy propaganda minister issued an order to news papers: "On no account should mention bemade of the Vatican protest to Marshal Petain in favor of the Jews of France." "French Catholics demon strated in several ways that they were aware- of the Vatican attitude," the Fighting French state ment said. "The archbishop of Toulouse, Monsignor Saliege. twice pro tested from his pulpit." It was added that the anti- Jewish drive was one of the most unpopular of Pierre Laval's acts since he returned to power. "His position was already insecure and it is unlikely to be reinforced by this latest proof of his subservience to Berlin," Fighting France said.

"If the Germans ad vanced in some places, they did so at a tremendous cost, walking over the corpses of our heroes who died the death of the brave. "The enemy's wild efforts testify that he is using up his last forces from other fronts." Fully 25 divisions perhaps 375, 000 Germans attacked on the northwest approach. Probably that many assaulted on the southwest sector, and 1,000 German planes tried to pulverize Stalingrad.

Red Star reported a battalion of German infantry and 14 German tanks, under a smoke screen, had forced a water barrier in the Moz dok area of the Eastern Caucasus, where the Germans were driving toward the oil fields of Grozny. The Germans seized three locali The Russians counter-at tacked, pinned the Germans on the south bank and prevented further crossings. One locality was recap tured, another encircled.

ROUNDUP OF LONDON. Sept. 5. (UP) Fighting French headquarters said Saturday that a German round-up of Jews in French occupied territory in mid-July had caused 300 suicides in Paris alone and had resulted in some of the most terrible scenes of the war. "Jewish women were seen to throw their babies out of sixth floor windows and jump after them, screaming wildly.

Jews were dragged from their homes. Others were ejected from hospitals. among patients thrown out of the Rothschild hospital was a cancer case, operated on 12 hours previously, also a woman beside whose bed police stood while she gave birth to a child, the fighting French headquarters said in an official statement. Detailed reports, including eyewitness statements, received by secret channels were cited as authority for the statement. It was noted that French people were horrified and that they helped Jews and hindered police.

(United Press reports from the French frontier had reported earlier this week that when Vichy, at the demand of the Germans, started a round-up of Jews AN EAST COAST PORT, Sept. 5. iJP) Six crewmen, including a British soldier assigned to the gun crew, lost their lives when an Axis submarine sank a medium-sized British merchant ship in the West Indian area in mid-August. A U. S.

naval vessel picked up 49 survivors who got away in two lifeboats and drifted for three hours. Three were killed when a torpedo struck the ship's boiler room. The soldier and two of the crew were drowned. Capt. George Eric Hodgson said the first warning of attack came when a torpedo passed harmlessly by the bow.

In a few seconds, the ship was rocked by a second torpedo squarely in the port side. Ex-Soldier To Lose His Citizenship CHICAGO, Sept. (INS) Hans Geisler, 37, discharged from the army and sentenced to serve five years in prison for making disloyal remarks, will lose his citizenship.

DIVERGENT VIEWS Two prominent Miami 'attorneys, one immediately following the other before the Miami city commission recently, held absolutely divergent views about the prospects for the coming Miami season, all of which gives rise to the idea that there is a lot of second guessing going on these days. Mitchell D. Price was of the opinion that the outlook for the next season was dismal, while Francis Miller forecast the best season ever. Neither are supposed to be experts, but those who do qualify as experts feel that it would be disastrous if Miami and its environs did not maintain their advertising campaigns as in the past, and this will be done In fact Miami Beach starts Sunday in 30 Northern newspapers with 200-line ads.

Several women clasped the girl. 'Fear nothing, we will take care of your daughter. Nothing will happen to her the women cried. 'The police were revolted by their orders." The statement said that thousands of French patriots demonstrated in towns of unoccupied France on Bastille day. Fighting French headquarters said the Vichy policy had roused violent opposition in occupied France and that at such towns as Nice, Marseilles and Lyons the people, including many students, defended the Jews, abused police and formed protective cordons to prevent seizures when Vichy at the behest of the Germans began its round-up Aug.

Fighting French headquarters said the occupied zone roundup was started in earnest July 12, two days before Bastille day, the great Republican holiday, and that by Bastille- day 28,000 men, women and children had been herded into the Princes park and the Velodrome d'Hiver sports center. The statement, angrily phrased, called the round-up a "pogrom" and compared it in horror to the St. Bartholomew massacre of protestants in France Aug. 24, 1,572 when 50,000 Hugenots were massacred, though in this case the idea was not to kill but to deport Jews for slave labor for Germany.

At the Rothschild hospital, the statement said, a Gestapo agent notorious for his cruelty at the Jewish concentration camp at Compiegne "personally directed the evacuation with a whip in his hand."
