HARRIS (Copyright, 1932, By the Associated Press.) RH.\.\'Gl'l.-‘.l.*—General Uyeda's Japanese army made another drive against the Chinese at Kianewan Wednesday and when it failed to budge the Chinese the center of the Japanese attack was suddenly shifted to the Cha pel front in the afternoon. | Observers said Wednesday night they believed ~ the Japanese had virtually assumed a defensive at titnde and were waiting ff an ticipated reinforcements from Japan. Outbursts of machine gun and artillery, fire continued but there was no gustained action daring the latter part of the day. A navy lanaing force from the Japanese. warships in the river gpened the attack along the northern section of the battered Chapel sector and severe fighting tollowed throughout the after noon. The thrust against Kiangwan, where the Chinese have been im. mavable for four days, was pre ceded by a heavy bombardment srom the air. The blasts of the huge aerial bombs shook the -en tire conntryside but they failed to rout the Chinese who continued to sweep the enemy ‘with rifle fire and machine gun fire. Miss Target ' Two Chinese airplanes attempt. ¢d to bomb the Japanese head quarters at Kiangwan, and miss ed their target by ouly 100 feet. The Japanese air attack on the central strongnold oi the l6.mile Chapei-Woosung front was fol lowed by a driving ground attack. The assault was co-ered by Jap anese batteries on the Kiangwan golf course, but it ended with 2o Eight giant bombing planes de livered the alr attack on Kiang wan. They used 250-pound bombs. The raid lasted less than a half hour and caused considerable damage to the Chinese positions even though it failed to budge the defenders. Reports were circulated through the city Wednesday that Japan esé reinforcements bad already arrived at Woosung, on the north. ern end of the battlefront but there was no sign of any addl. tional soldiers there - at noomn. General Uyeda, Japanese com mander, said that he expected re inforcements, but he refused to say how many, 60,000 Troops General Tsai Ting-Kai, com. mander of the Chinese route army defending Shanghai, told a group of 40 newspaper correspondents 2t his headquarters at Chenju the Japanese were sending 60,000 ad. ditional troops to repforce Gen éral Uyeda’'s army. This would bring the total Jap inese force at Shanghai to up wards of 85,000 men.

This was the expected result. Upon it they planned to offer a motion to send .the bill back to committee with instructions to insert- the anti-wire tapping item. Such motion permits a roll call, and only one recommittal motion may be submitted on each such bill. Batore Representative Scha fer, Republican, Wisconsin, could be recognized to put the proposi tion, Speaker Garner gave the floor to Representative Canmnon, 'Democrat, Missouri, who moved ‘recoulmittal on another point. | Garner Explains The speaker explained, at Scha fer’s protest, that house procedure required him to recognize Can non first as he Is a member of the appropriations committee in charge of the bill, Later Garner told inquiring newspapermen he had not known Cannon was going to seek recommittal. His motion had been defeated 189 to 1, but Schafer objecting that a quorum was not present, the house was adjourned and a roll call will be held on the question Thursday. Now the wet bloc must seek an other prohibition issue to get the names of the members down in black and white on the question. .

Y. Covernor .. By BYRON PRICE WASHINGTON.-—~ (AP) —Plans for a searching three.way analy sis of the vote-pulling power of Franklin D. Rooseve.t are near fng completion in the testing lab oratories of the Democratic party. in closely-spaced primaries In March the New York governor's presidential aspirations must meet three separate challenges. On March 8, in New Hampshire, his opponent 18 Alfred E. Smith. On March 15, in North Dakota, he meets Governor Willilam H. (Al falfa Bill) Murray. On March 23, in “"Georgla, =he contests ~ with Spezker John N. Garner. Thus, in the space of about two weeks, almost at the outset of the pre-convention -campaign, Roosevelt will undergo the extra ordinary ordeal of running against an easterner in the east, a westerner in the west, and a ‘goutherner in the south, Further ‘more, the easterner is a former ‘national standard-bearer; the westerner is building a far-flung incnmpaign on western .issues; and the southerner is endowed with ‘the prestige of the speakership of ‘the house. - | Holds Leaders ~ In New Hampshire Roosevelt avas far ahead of Smith, and has committed to him much of the tocal leadership of the party. He has a carefully chosen slate of Roosevelt delegates, without con tests among themselves, whereas Smith's delegates overlap and are running in ' some cages against each other. In North Dakota, too, Roose velt has the endorsement of the party managers, and Murray is dependent largely on the fruits of a catch-as.catch-can campaign. ' Georgia not only was one of the original Roosevelt states, claiming a sort of favorite-son attachment because of the governor's frequent visits to Warm Springs, but Gar ‘ner will be entered there only by 4 proxy arrangement. If Roosevelt sweeps all of these ‘gtates, the momentum of his vie ‘tory‘ undoubtedly will give great jmpetus to the efforts of his friends as they battle for the larger delegations to be chosen in [April. If he loses them all, the activities of the ‘stop-Roosevelt” managers may be expected to step up accordingly. . - » i OPEN HEADQUARTERS ATLANTA —(AP)— Headquar ters were opened here today for Judge G.
