Shanghai, Feb. reinforcements moved forward by the thousands under heavy shellflre today to plug a widening gap in southern defenses of China's lifeline corridor. The long-awaited major engagement on the Tsinpu battlefront north of Nanking apparently was beginning.

An estimated half million Chinese and Japanese troops have been massed for the struggle over the corridor, where Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek has urged his warriors to yield not a stogie inch. Domel (Japanese News agency) correspondents with the Japanese column moving north from Nanking reported it had occupied Pengpu, southern keystone of Chinese positions along the Tlentsin-Pukow railway.

Chinese were said to have blown up a bridge across the Hwai south of Pengpu and dug in on the river bank for determined resistance. They had kept the southern- defenses of the corridor intact for a month. The corridor, roughly paralleling the Lunghai and still 150 to 175 miles wide, has kept Japanese from uniting their gains into a of some 110,000,000 population under a government friendly to Japan. From Chinese reports it appeared that both sides suffered heavy losses before the town of Mingkwang fell into Japanese hands. The Chinese said their casualties 'there were 2.000 and asserted Japanese had suffered as many.

Both Chinese and Japanese sent word of new fighting in North China. Chinese said guerrilla detachments continued to attack isolated Japanese detachments hi Ho- peh province, where Peiptng, Tient- sin and the main railroads are in Japanese hands. One irregular band, Chinese said, killed 100 Japanese southeast of Paotingfu, Ho- peh capital. Because the planet Jupiter is not a solid body, an parts of it do not rotate in the same length of time.

NOW For The Winter Months That 801 THE BEAUTY NOOK How Mr. Taxpayer Goes A bout Making Home Loan Disagree Over Amendment to Wagner Labor Relations Act. la, Feb. major split between the American Federation of Labor and the Committee for Industrial Organisation developed today over a proposal to amend the Wagner labor relations act. The AFL executive council endorsed a change that would insure the members of craft unions within an industry the right to elect their own representatives for collective bargaining.

The AFL will press for enactment of the amendment at this session of The United Mine Workers, of which John L. Lewis is president. voted unanimously at then 1 Washington convention yesterday to oppose any change in the act. The law now provides that collective bargaining representatives shall be elected by "the majority of the employees in a unit appropriate for such purposes:" that those elected shall be "the exclusive representatives of all the employees to such unit;" and that the national labor relations board "shall decide in each case whether the unit appropriate for the purposes of collective bargaining shall be the employer unit, craft unit, or subdivision thereof." The AFL would change these sections to provide that "the majority of any craft or class of employees shall have the right to determine who shall be the representative of the craft or class" and that in any labor relations board investigation "any labor organization may intervene in the proceedings as the representative of any craft or class of employees and hi any election the board shall place upon the ballot the name of such labor organization together with the names of other parties to the controversy."

Feb. of Michigan's state parks may not be opened next season unless an emergency allotment of, funds is granted to meet an existing deficiency. "Unless additional funds are obtained." says Walter J. Klngscott.

chief of the parks division of the department of conservation, "our expenses will have to be readjusted, which will mean curtailment of operations. And that would prevent the opening of several parks next season. How many I could not say at this time, but it would be several." Says S45.0M Needed The emergency allotment requested by the parks division amounts to $45.000. A total of $192.800 was requested for the parks for the current fiscal year which ends July 1. but the budget finally approved by the legislature amounted to $123,000 and this was further reduced five per cent to $118.750.

Part of the emergency allotment would be used to make repairs and replacements which have been postponed from year to year because of a shortage of funds but which Mr. Klngscott says cannot be delayed any longer if the parks are to be kept safe and sanitary. Many additions have been made to the state parks during the last four years through government agencies and include such things as 110 buildings. 21 water systems, several acres of lawn, several miles of parking rail and several thousand trees and shrubs. Many of these things, Mr.

Klngscott says, have added new maintenance work. And by acquisition the parks also have taken over for maintenance a 16-foot head concrete dam. two steel highway bridges and three miles of macadam roads, and three new parks have been opened in the last two years. Have Water Systems Thirty-three of the parks are serviced by water systems. Besides added costs of maintenance, and necessary improvements and repairs, much of the park playground equipment is worn out, according to Mr.

Kingscott. When the New Zealand geyser. Waimangu, was in its prime, it flung black mud. stones, and scalding water to a height of 1500 feet every 38 hours. Remains of a fossil forest have been found in an upright position in France.
