Japanese Renew Offensive Drive In North China
Japanese and Manchukuo forces renewed the offensive in north China with heavy losses reported. Japan’s eighth division suffered severe fights at Chihfengkow, reducing a 360 man battalion to 80. The Mogi cavalry brigade was halved by a Chinese surprise attack. Japan altered plans and moved toward the Chinese east of the Lawn river as a southward push began near Peiping and the Peiping-Tientsin area. American Lt. Folber at Chinwangtao reported sharp skirmishes as the Lawn river triangle was evacuated weeks earlier to station troops along the front.

Pinchot Considers State Hospital Aid
Harrisburg May 6 The budget secretary Edward B Logan said the cost of state aided hospitals for the two year period starting June 1 is uncertain. Separate appropriations totalling 8 804 740 were proposed, higher than the governors budget by 2 304 740. An omnibus bill of 3 222 140 was passed in addition. If needed the governor may reduce hospital sums to fit revenue estimates, with the omnibus amount contingent on a bond issue in November. Approval of separate bills would remove a key contingency and provide two million dollars more for state aided hospitals by November.
