‘Breathing Spell' Will Be Taken by Japanese In Jehol Attack Food, Munitions Enroute To Front Lines of Invading Army
TOKIO, Feb. 28. — (l'E> — Japanese attackers in Jehol province have already smashed the first line of Chinese defenders, are crushing through the second lines, and will have to halt to permit supplies to catch up, dispatches from the front said today.
Japanese sources claimed the attack was well ahead of schedule,
I and that Chinese resistance was less than ha-1 been expected.
Await Supplies
As a result, commanding officers reported, a “breathing spell” probably will be taken until wagon trains of food and munitions reach the Japanese and Manchu armies.
The first Chinese defense, a 250-mile line from north to south, extending from Kailu in the north through Peipiao to Chaoyang has been demolished.
Japanese are sweeping through the second line, extending from Linhsi through Chuhfeng to Ling-yuan.
As they go forward, the Japanese have already shortened the front to 100 kilometers from northeast to southw'est. Chengtehfu, capital of Jehol and goal of tbe Japanese advance, was expected to fall within the week.
Americans Endangered
The Japanese war office today became concerned with safety of American war correspondents with the Chinese troops.
An informal suggestion was made to the Far East headquarters of the United Press that Herbert R. Ekins, staff correspondent with the Chinese forces, withdraw from the danger zone. Ekins, a spokesman pointed out. is exposing himself to danger from aerial attacks planned on Chengtehfu. Col. Walter S. Drysdale, United (Continued on Page Four)

WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.—<U_E)— Talk of trades filtered through house lobbies today on the eve of election of a speaker with whom President-elect Roosevelt must deal in carrying out his program.
Unless some trade involving the speakership and floor leadership goes through in the next 48 hours, more than 300 Democrats face a long ordeal, with numerous ballots, when they go into caucus Thursday to choose a successor to Vice-President-elect John N. Qarner.
Candidates Busy The candidates were busy today buttonholing the new members who are arriving. There are 127. Some are slow in committing themselves. Their independence is manifest in the call for a caucus of their own tomorrow night, a sort of “freshmen tally.” Today the race appeared nip and tuck between the white haired veteran Democratic floor leader Henry T. Rainey, 111., who lays claim to northern, mid-western and western support, and the younger and resourceful Rep. John McDuffie, Ala., party whip, who is seeking to preserve the hold of the south in the post often rated second to the presidency.
Byrns Third The lanky and genial Chairman Joseph W. Byrns, Tenn., of the appropriations committee, is running third, with many secondary pledges upon which his sponsors depend in case of a deadlock between the two leaders.
Stringing along behind are three other candidates with local and scattered support — Representatives John Rankin, Miss., Robert Crosser, Ohio, and John J. O'Connor, N. Y.
The props were rudely pulled from under the O’Connor candidacy when Rep. Thomas Cullen, N. Y., c*ame back here after a conference with John F. Curry. Tammany chieftain, and announced his own candidacy for the post.
There must be a combination of north and south for the speakership and the floor leadership. The south now controls most of the key committees. A host of new Democrats from the north and west are demanding recognition
Eligibility for Activities To Be Checked
Managers of all campus activities are requested to check the eligibility of everyone participating in their activity this semester, according to Dean Frances Bacon, counsellor of men.
Eligibility Is based on the scholastic record made by the student last semester. Anyone on probation at the beginning of this term is automatically ineligible for all activities. The complete list of students in each type of campus endeavor should be sent in to the registrars office as soon as possible.
Dean Bacon’s office will have the final word on the matter, and anyone whom it declares ineligible must drop all activities. The student welfare committee will enforce this.
General Pershing To Miss Inauguration
TUCSON, Ariz.. Feb. 28— <U.P>— General John J. Pershing will not be present at the inaugural ceremonies March 4 where he was scheduled to act as grand marshal. he announced today. His health will force him to remain here for several more weeks, he said.
Pershing has been suffering from an attack of laryngitis and bronchitis suffered recently at Midland, Tex.
Al Smith Gives Formula To Restore Prosperity
WASHINGTON, Feb. 28— <U.E>— Alfred E. Smith breezed into the senate prosperity hearing today, tossed his overcoat and brown derby on a mantlepiece and produced a formula for breaking the depression.
Kleig lights glared, motion picture cameras ground away but Simith's rasping voice cut through all the confusion. When he had finished this was what he had told the committee which ended until further notice hearings on means of restoring prosperity.
1.	Balance the budget.
2.	Resist inflation.
3.	Reduce the tariff.
4.	Cut the money paid to world war veterans. (“I don’t see why we should pay a man who stayed in a training camp where he got new bridgework in his mouth and the acid boiled out of his system.”)
5.	Recognize Russia.
6.	Impose a sales tax and reduce income taxes.
7.	Start a federal road construction program.
8.	Declare a foreign debt moratorium.
9.	Lower interest rates on loans from the reconstruction finance corporation.
Smith said times were pretty bad, particularly unemployment, and he didn’t see much prospect for them getting better. Everybody, he declared, was “being grabbed in the vicious circle of high taxes.”
When he finished cheers echoed through the room and the crowd pressed close to Smith to shake his hand.
The press of the throng carried him out into a corridor. “Hey, wait a minute,” he shouted, “I left my coat and hat in there.”
A volunteer dashed back to get them.
“It’s a brown derby,” Smith yelled after him, “and a pretty good looking overcoat.”
Dean Trueblood To Speak on Friday
