He acknowledged that the. Japanese Jap-anese were advancing steadily, tut said Yingtun and Shangpao still were in Chinese hands. "We are calmly resisting the enemy's huge pincer movement according to prearranged plans," the spokesman said. Against the Chinese infantry men, the Japanese were sending two plane-supported columns, at-temping at-temping to crack the Chinese hold on the Nanchang- Hangchow railway's, rail-way's, vital middle section.

The second column of possibly 50,000 men was driving southeastward southeast-ward against Yingtun, 80 miles from Fanchang.

And officials here are hoping it will end as disastrously dis-astrously for the Japanese. The battle of Midway was a sequel of the Coral Sea battle.
