AMERICAN AND BRITISH TROOPS AT SHANGHAI IN DANGER JAPANESE PLAN AN ASSAULT NEAR THEIR POSITIONS BOLSHEVISM TO BE DRIVEN OUT. SAYS MUSSOLINI STEWART BROWN, (United' Press Staff Correspondent.) Rome, Oct. Benito Mussolini, addressing a gigantic gathering of his Fascist. Blackshirts, said today that Bolshevism must be driven out of Europe and Germany must be given colonies if peace is to be saved.

The occasion of the speech was the 15th anniversary of the Fascist march on Rome, which marked the accession to power of the first "20th century government." hundred thousand men, jammed into the Olympic stadium, and 500,000 persons massed on Monte Mario overlooking it, heard the speech. So also did delegations from Nationalist Spain and Nazi Germany, first official delegations ever invited to this essentially Fascist observance. Mussolini, his voice ringing, spoke to and for both delegations. By stamping Bolshevism from Europe, he meant that the Nationalists must win the Spanish civil war. In his reference to colonies, he supported the growIng cry that Nazi Germany must expand peacefully or otherwise.

JURY DISAGREES IN SUIT AGAINST EXETER RESIDENT After being out until after eleven o'clock last night, the jury in the case of R. B. Pickett, of Laceyville, against Max Meyer, of Exeter, reported to Judge W. Valentine that it was unable to agree on a verdict, and was thereupon discharged from further consideration of the case. Plaintiff sued for compensation for damage to his automobile, which was in collision with a car of the defendant at Wyoming on March 11, 1934.

There was a question of negligence and contributory negligence. Attorney W. W. Hall representplaintiff and Attorney B. R.

Coughlin today in two pending cases. One was the equity suit of Catherine McCauley and others against Teresa McCauley and the Wyoming National Bank, of WilkesBarre, an action to restrain the sale of property in Exeter, in which the court granted a preliminary injunction on December 8, 1936. The case was continued after the taking of some testimony. As the court 1 has heard nothing further of the case It returns the files to the prothonotary's office. The other is the case of Joseph H.

Finn, assignee of. Josephine Baynock, Adam and Mary Fiederowicz, in which was pending a rule to open Judgment, in which Judge Coughlin holds that the court should not open the judgment and submit the same to jury. The ev' lance would not warrant the existence of a verdict against the assignee, and therefore the rule to open judgment is discharged by the court. NOBEL PRIZE FOR HUNGARY Stockholm, Sweden, Oct. The Nobel Prize in Medicine for 1937 has awarded to Dr.

Albert Szentof Hungary, it was announced RUSH OF BUYING AFTER REVISION OF MARGIN RULES New York, Oct, stock market today responded to new margin rules promulgated by the federal reserve with a buying rush that carried the list 1 to 6 points higher in trading at a rate of more than 000,000 shares for a full session. Profit-taking reduced the gains and volume lightened before noon. In most instances, best advances were made at the opening. U. S.

Steel opened 15,000 shares at up It dipped to but rallied to above 61 again. Chrysler opened 000 shares at up eased to 73 and then firmed again. American Telephone opened at 157 up 4, then fell to Other stocks followed a similar trend. Initial buying was ascribed to the margin rule changes which are effective November 1. Demand from longs was based on outlook for more advances on further lightening of market restrictions.

Some short covering was noted. The new margin rules provide for a 40 per cent margin based on cost of stock, against a present rate of 55 per cent. The reserve also placed a margin on short sales, amounting to 50 per cent of cost of the stock, compared with the stock exchange minimum of $10 a share now set by the stock exchange. The new margin on short sales is a sharp reduction from the stock exchange minimum on low priced stocks. More than half the stocks on the exchange are selling at or below $20 a share.

Short sale of a $20 stock on the present basis involves a 50 per cent margin at $10 a share. On a stock priced at $5 a share, the present short margin is 200 per cent. On higher priced shares, individual member firms of the exchange demand higher margins than the minimums set by the exchange for short sales and these in some instances run to 100 per cent of the cost of the stock. Stock sales to noon totaled 1,450,000 shares, against 470,000 shares yesterday. First hour sales of 1,050,000 shares were only 10,000 shares under the total for the entire session yesterday.

Dow- Jones averages at noon were: Industrial 134.36 up 2.10; railroad 33.45 up 0.55; utility 21.87 up 0.54, CONFERENCE ON LABOR DISPUTE MAY BE AT END By C. L. SULZBERGER United Press Staff Correspondent. Washington, Oct. L.

Lewis called a strategy meeting of Committee for Industrial Organization leaders today as the peace conference with the American Federation of Labor recessed with indications of complete collapse. Philip Murray, chairman of the 10-man C. I. O. delegation whose three-day conference with federation committee ended in a stalemate, and Lee Pressman, general counsel.

Pressman said he did not know whether the C. I. O. leaders would draw up a new proposal for a truce before the C. I.

F. of L. peace talks are scheduled to resume next Thursday. Following the decision of the negotiators to recess for a week, leaders on both sides admitted that the joint- meetings might be postponed indefinitely or might never be resumed. This was quite probable, they said, unless there was some conciliation by each faction.

James Dewey, Labor Department conciliator, continued a series of individual talks with leaders of both sides. Sen. George L. Berry, has offered his services in mediation capacity. The President's position still was uncertain.

It was believed Mr. Roosevelt would continue his hands-off policy. WORK SCHEDULE OF COLLIERIES THE PITTSTON CO. All idle Friday and Saturday. KEHOE-BERGE CO.

Exeter Colliery Mile Friday, NO MORE RUSSIAN CASH FOR SPANISH CONTROL SCHEME By RICHARD MCMILLAN United Press Staff Correspondent. London, Oct. 28. Russia withdrew, in part, today from the activities of the 27-power non-intervention activities, announcing she would no longer support the Spanish control scheme. Following a conference with Anthony 1 Eden, British foreign minister, last night, Ivan Maiski, Soviet ambassador, sent a note to Lord Plymouth, notifying the committee that Russia would not contribute further to the non-intervention board or the control scheme.

It was pointed out, however, that HEADQUARTERS OF CHEST CAMPAIGN 35 SOUTH MAIN ST. Preliminary arrangements for the eighth annual Community Chest campaign of the Welfare Federation of Pittston and Vicinity- to be conducted Nov. 15 to 22 -are steadily nearing completion and the groundwork will be solidly established when the drive is officially launched on Nov. 15. Campaign headquarters have been set up at 35 South Main street and a group of workers is engaged in making the necessary preparations for conduct of the drive.

The headquarters telephone number is 1431, The budget committee, which has been at work for some time, will submit its report within the next few days, setting forth the campaign goal and the quota of each of the eleven charitable and character building agencies affiliated with the chest. Members of the budget committee are: Attorney W. W. Hall, chairman; B. W.

Tennant, S. Kluger, Allan Laird, S. H. Wilson, Leonard Walsh and Fred Ramage. Additional plans for the drive will be formulated at a combined supper meeting of the boards of directors and officers of the eleven agencies, to be held in the Y.

M. C. A. on Thursday night, Nov. 4, at 6 o'clock.

At this meeting, the responsibility of the directors and officers will be stressed and it is vitally important to the various organizations that all of their directors attend. Roy Stauffer, who served as general chairman last year, will direct the campaign again this year. He will be assisted by other public spirited citizens to be announced later. SCHOOL BOARD OF BLOOMSBURG IS OUSTED BY COURT Bloomsburg, Oct. 28.

The Bloomsburg school board was ousted from office today and a new board designated by Judge Charles C. Evans as the climax in a prolonged dispute over the borough's school affairs. Judge Evans held that the board for the past two years failed to comply with provisions of the school code governing minimum salaries for teachers, and had violated the Mundy Tenure act by falling to re-elect the principal and nine teachers for the present term. George J. Vanderslice, president of the board and court stenographer serving under Judge Evans, Was among the board members ousted.

The others were William M. Lemon, Herman C. Snyder, John K. Miller, Warner D. Werkheiser, Isaiah B.

Giger, and Marcus Harlem. Vanderslice Was leader of the board's majority faction, while Harlem was minority member. Judge Evans named the following men to replace the old board: Dean William B. Sutliff, retired administrator of Bloomsburg State Teachers' College; Rev. Samuel A.

Harker, Presbyterian minister; Dr. J. E. Shuman, physician; George E. Elwell, business man; Roy Snyder, dairy operator; Raymond Buckalew, garage proprietor, and Norman Hoffman, textile expert.

BOND ISSUES APPROVED Harrisburg, Oct. Affairs Secretary Thomas announced approval today of the following bond issues for Luzerne county. City of Hazleton, $95,000 for City Hall improvements, WPA projects, new fire apparatus, public grounds improvements and sewer construction. Plains Township, $25,000 for construction of sanitary and storm sewers, street improvements, fire house lot, and fire-house, PITTSTON HOUSE OF CUDAHY CO. WILL BE CLOSED Announcement was made today that the Oudahy Packing Co.

will on Nov. 1st close its wholesale meat house at 8 Cron street, this city, and will reopen its plant at 412 North Sixth street, Scranton, from which the trade in this section of the State will be served after the first of the month. About fifty persons are employed in the Pittston plant, including office force, salesmen, truck drivers, and those engaged in the manufacturing department. Manager Leslie W. Winter says the company will take care of as many of the Pittston employes as possible at the Scranton plant and at other, points.

Mr. Winter, who has charge of the Pittston house, will be manager in Scranton. The Cudahy Co. has maintained a wholesale meat house in Pittston for many years and some years ago erected a modern building on Cron street, where considerable manufacturing work was done, in addition to the distribution of large quantities of all kinds of meats. In 1935 the Scranton house of the company Was closed, and the Scranton section has since been served from the Pittston house.

Now the Pittston plant is to be closed and the Scranton house reopened. The decision was reached, it is said, on account of the necessity of making extensive repairs in the Pittston building if it was to continue in use, while the Scranton building is large modern and in readiness 'and for use. The official announcement says that the Pittston house is being "closed for the present," holding out a hope that it may be reopened in the future. The building and equipment on Cron street is owned by the Cudahy Co. and represents a large investment.

Pittston is fast losing its prestige as a great meat distributing center. Not many years ago, there were half a dozen wholesale meat houses in this city, and they served the territory for a radius of seventy miles or more. Gradually they are deserting city. The Nelson Morris plant, in the Lehigh Valley freight yard, has been closed for a number of years and the Co. maintained a wholesale meat building is still lying idle.

Wilson de house on Cron street, adjoining the Cudahy plant, for many years, but 1t was merged with the Wilkes -Barre house a couple of months ago. THREAT OF FLOOD IN STATE RIVERS DUE TO THE RAIN Pittsburgh, Oct. rising rivers and creeks, fed by continuous rains of the past several days, brought the threat of flood today to a tristate area. The Monongahela river, rising rapIdly at its source in West Virginia, was carrying a torrent of water toward Pittsburgh, and the Potomac river was threatening sections of Marland and West Virginia in the area near Cumberland, Md. The Potomac river sloshed over about half of Ridgely, W.

opposite Cumberland, but the residents of the flooded district left their homes early today. Three Cumberland strets, Paca, Smallwood and Avirett, are flooded. Telegraph lines in Western Maryland were affected and there are no trains operating between Cumberland and Elkins, W. Va. Johnstown, reported Stoney Creek and Conemaugh rivers were rising after their watersheds were pelted by heavy rains throughout the night.

Adding to the threat of flood was the continuance of rain today. U. S. weather observers forecast a stage of 22 feet three feet below flood stage -at Pittsburgh early tomorrow. The water was rising at the rate of more than a tenth of a foot an hour in Pittsburgh at the point where the Monongahela and Allegheny form the Ohio river.

At 11 a. the reading was 14.1 feet. Harrisburg, Oct. The continuing rainfall will have no serious effect on the stage of the Susquehanna river, the U. S.

Weather Bureau at Harrisburg reported today and there were no indications the river would reach flood stage at any point. The stage at Harrisburg Was 0.4 feet and was expected to taper off at seven feet by tomorrow. Flood stage is 18 feet. Winterize Your Car At Consumers Transmission Drained Steam Process.

Erie Yards, Broad St, LIST OF ENTRIES, ROUTE OF MARCH, MUMMERS PARADE Shanghai, Oct. to American and British troops guarding the international settlement grew hourly tonight after Japanese forces mopping up Northern Shanghai fired on one British detachment from a tank. American and British commanders stiffened their barricades. It was understood that the Japanese had given warning that they planned an intensive assault along the Soochow Creek front, on the edge of the posttions manned by the foreign defenders of the settlement. The warned that they planned to attempt to cross the Soochow creek near the western boundary of the foreign concessions, where Chinese from Chapel had withdrawn to the Chiang Kai-Shek second line of defense.

Both British and American troops have been authorized to open fire in self -defense if attacked by either side. Tension was brought near the breaking point by the Japanese tank attack on a party of British, led by Brigadier A. P. D. Telfersmollett, British army commander in chief.

That the situation was becoming menacing was indicated by a "request" by the British consulate to a number of residents in the zone along the great western road to evacuate. It was understood they were complying. British troops in the western area were erecting barbed wire concentration. camps in the event it became necessary to confine disarmed Chinese troops. There was no sign, however, that the troops would attempt to enter the settlement.

Chinese officials contended that, despite the withdrawal along the northern front, they had scored a tactical victory. They estimated Japanese casualties in the Shanghai area at 73,000 men. A Chinese "dare to die" squadron was barricaded in a warehouse in Chapel. It was commanded by Col. Hsleh Chin-Yuan, a Cantonese, who fought with the former 19th Route Army in the invasion of 1932.

British authorities offered squadron an opportunity to cross Soochow creek and take refuge in the settlement, but the troops refused. They tossed to British troops sacks of farewell letters to their wives and sweethearts. Chinese reports said that Lieut. General Chu Yao-Hua, accepting responsibility for the loss of Tazang, had committed suicide. BILLIONS LOST TO WORKERS BY ILLNESS Chicago, Oct.

t. 28. Fifty million workers in the United States lose approximately $2,000,000,000 annually through injury or personal illness, most of which could have been prevented, the American College of Surestimated today after a year's industrial survey. common cold "still is the greatest cause of absenteeism," Dr. M.

N. Newquist, Chicago, assistant director of the college, told the 3,000 assembled surgeons. Can You Beat This 'Record? This man is C. A. Hartley, 81, who has lived in Pomeroy, for 60 years.

He has never owned an auto, never touched a steering wheel, never entered a trailer, never smoked a cigaret, never worn a finger ring, never drunk liquor, doesn't owe a cent. Since returning from the Spanish-American War 39 years. ago he hasn't touched a firearm, hasn't killed an animal, a fish or a fowl. He never gets up later than daybreak, never sheds tears but from one eye. the action does not imply Russia's withdrawal from the non-intervention committee membership in which it is "quite independent of her commitments to the board and the control scheme." The scheduled meeting tomorrow of the non-intervention committee was postponed from 10:30 a.

m. to 3 p. m. because some of the delegates had not received full instructions from their governments. Observers said it was possible that the Italians may contend tomorrow that if Russia does not intend to pay, she can hardly expect to continue to exercise functions as a member of the committee.

BODY OF DURYEA WOMAN IS TAKEN FROM THE RIVER The body of Mrs. Stanley Kijek, aged 42 of 101 Lackawanna avenue, Duryea, mother of six children, was taken from the Lackawanna river near Everhart Island this morning about nine o'clock. The river, swollen by recent rains, apparently carried the body to the island, near the Pittston-Duryea line. The woman was reported missing early this morning when her husband prepared to go to work. The Kijek residence is the last house on Lackawanna avenue and is practically on the bank of Lackawanna river.

It was reported that Mrs. Kijek had been in poor health for some time. She had resided in Duryea for the last fifteen years and enjoyed a wide acquaintance there.

She was a member of the Holy Rosary Polish Catholic Church. The body was removed to the morgue of Deputy Coroner Joseph Dills, of Duryea. Mrs. Kijek is survived by her husband and six children: Mrs. Edward Mayewski, Frank Orlowski, Walter, Stephanie, John and Victoria Kijek; her mother, Mrs.

EYSTON DRIVES CAR 309.6 MILES AN HOUR Bonneville, Salt Flats, Utah, Oct. 28. Capt.

George E. T. Eyston drove his racing car "Thunderbolt" over a measured mile here today at the record-breaking speed of 309.6 miles an hour, but failed to establish an official record because he did not make a return trip over the same course within an hour. Sir Malcolm Campbell holds the world's land speed record at 301.13 miles per hour. Eyston started back over the 13- mile salt track 23 minutes after his south to north run, but trouble in the clutch of his 3250-horsepower racing plant forced him to stop after he had traveled only a short distance.

Rules of the American Automobile Association require two runs in opposite directions over a measured mile course, the second to be completed within an hour of the first. 5100,000 FIRE IN CAZENOVIA, N. Y. Cazenovia, N. Oct.
