John D.

Biggers, the census administrator, told reporters Tuesday that postmen would "try hard to reach everybody" with the registration blanks to be distributed Nov. 16 and 17 and mailed back to local postoffices by midnight Nov. 21. "They will visit every trailer camp, for instance," Biggers told reporters, "and leave registration forms in every trailer. They will go to along the rivers and the railroads, where transients gather." MrsNage From President Samples of the registration blanks, made public Tuesday, bore a brief message from President Roosevelt "to every worker." The message read: "If you are unemployed or partly unemployed and are able to speeded investigations to determine how best to spend the $100,000 donation of the American Red Cross for Chinese relief.

The ambassador already has completed his report on Nanking's needs and expects soon to have full reports from Shanghai, which has been allotted half, and from Canton. These will be forwarded immediately to Washington so that no time will be lost in alleviating China's desperate problems in caring for wounded soldiers and homeless refugees. Johnson conferred with Col. C. E.

Watteville, Swiss representative of the International Red Cross, and Madame Charbonnel, representing the French Red Cross society, concerning the possibilities for organizing Red Cross medical relief work on a larger scale. Preliminary plan provide for the enlistment of foreign missionary doctors and Chinese physicians and nurses to meet emergencies arising in interior towns and cities bombed by warplanes or facing other disasters. ADMINISTERS ESTATE SULLIVAN Alva L. Wilt was appointed administrator in the estate of William J. Wilt in county court Monday and bond for $4,200 was filed and approved.

I i once a notorious underworld rendezvous. Using the Tumble Inn as a fortress, the Chinese charged shortly after noon, trapping the Japanese in a deadly cross fire of machine guns and hand grenades. Snipers drove them from machine gun nests in every small house in the area. The Pantheon theater, center of a week's heavy fighting, became a no-man's land with Japanese barricaded at the back door and Chinese at the front door. Bomb North Station The most effective Japanese weapon was its air force, operating almost unresisted from bases only a few miles behind the lines.

Besides the flour mill, Japanese air bombs struck throughout the embattled area including three direct hits on the battered North station. Japanese bombing squadrons turned again later to the devastated Pootung industrial area across the Whangpoo river from the international settlement. A Japanese spokesman declared that about 300 Chinese fighting planes have been destroyed in the undeclared war. Foreign military experts, inclined to 'credit the Japanese claim of air mastery, estimated that China's total air force numbered only 200 craft at the beginning of hostilities three months ago and said heavy blows doubtlessly had been inflicted on it. Dispatches from North China reported that Gen.

Li Fu-Ying, commander of the 61st national division in North China, was executed for abandoning the city of Tatungfu, in the line of the Japanese western column's advance on Taiyuanfu, in violation of orders to hold it at all costs.
