But the Japanese have been expected to end their operations with the fall of Kankow and domination of the South China commercial area. Their plan would be to reduce the tremendous drain of military operations and to consolidate their positions in the area already dominated the principal commercial markets of China.

The quick success of the invaders in lhe south was followed immediately by speculation on whether there had been a “sell out." Flee Canton Canton, China, Oct. 21 —<U.R) —

Japanese tanks and troops fought their way into the heart of , China’s greatest commercial cenI ter today In a thrust that appeared to have crumbled Chinese military defenses. Chinese authorities God as their troops dynamited utility plants, factories and military posts In the path of the Japanese advance. Flame and smoke arose from the I fallen city. The swift Japanese drive into Canton, center of British and other commercial Interests In China, broke through the reinfotced defense lines with startling speed. Only nine days ago the Japanese troops landed at Blas Bay. notorious pirate stronghold 80 miles from Canton, to start a:t offensive which experts had believed would require many weeks. But the motorized invading units, led by bombing planes, struck overland and by water with a force that prevented the strong resistance offered by Chinese defense armies in the I’anp.tse valley and along the Yellow river in the north. oASK VOLUNTARY (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) most ofhiesps s retaoin T shrdlut most of his press conference to a discussion of the merits of the measure passed by the last congress for reform of federal court procedure and practice.

SOCIETY WOMAN FALLS TO DEATH Woman Reported Engaged To Harrv Hopkins Killed In Fall New York. Oct. 21 —(UP) —Mrs. Gardner Hale, widow of a noted mural painter, who was reported engaged last May to works progress Administrator Harry L. Hopkins plunged to her death today ftom her apartment on the 16th floor of fashi lonalde Hampshire house. Mrs. Hale was introduced to Horklns by James Roosevelt. When they were seen together in subsequent weeks the report of their en- ! gagement circulated. It n -ver was I officially confirmed. Since no one immediately claim- ' ed the body it was placed in the I court yard of the west 47th street police station and many patrolmen stopped to look at it, for even in death Dorothy Hale retained the striking gypsy-like attraction that made her one of the beautiful women in New York. The fall did not disarange her , upswept coiffure. She wore a black velvet hostess gown and black and ' silver sandals with high spiked I heels. Around her throat was a black ribbon suspending a gold florentine ornament. ! The routine card filed in the station listed the cause of death as j “probably suicide.” Mrs. Hale was the former Miss became a law- that has been received with satisfaction by everyone having business before the , courts. The new law. he said, speeds up justice, provides for better justice, i does away with un-uniform practices and calls for simplification all around.

She was married to Hale, who revived the art of fresco painting, in 1929 and posed for many of his works Hale was killed in an autotrtbbilo accident near Santa Mari», Cal., that same year. His car plunged over a 500-foot cliff. After ills deat'h Mrs. Hale tried the stage but with indiffer-nt success. She was known to her friends for her gaiety and they expressed tho opinion today—held also by or.e of the police who investigated—that she might have tripped ov r the low windowsill. Attaches of the hotel which faces Central Park heard the body crash on the sidewalik on Central Park south and notified police. There were no notes in the room, it was not ascertained immediately whether Mrs. Hale had been out earlier in the evening. o * TODAY S COMMON ERROR i — . . !
