Future of U. S. Job-Provid ing Agencies to Be One Topic of Parley. - Recommendations on the future of j the W P. A., the P. W. A. and simi- j lar Job-providing Federal agencies; are expected to be discussed tomor- j row, when officials of more than 100 | cities gather at the Mayflower Hotel j In the sixth annual meeting of the j United States Conference of Mayors.! Among the speakers will be Mayor F. H. La Guardia of New' York City, i Chairman Arthur E. Morgan of the ! T. V. A., J. Edgar Hoover of the 1 United States Bureau of Investiga-1 tion. Justin Miller of the Justice De- j partment. Police Commissioner Val-j entlne of New' York City and Mayor j Daniel W. Hoan of Milwaukee. The visiting city officials are to call on President Roosevelt at the White House shortly after noon prior to his departure. "Die mayors are meeting this year 1 under conditions in marked contrast to those of 1932 through 1934, it is painted out. The most serious mu nicipal debt defaults now have been solved satisfactorily, whereas in for mer years the same city officials faced extremely crucial financial sit uations. Also, in most cases, munici pal credit has been restored to pre depreciation levels, the amounts of delinquent taxes have been reduced and there are not the pay less pay days for city workers that prevailed In former years. At the same time, the mayors have before them |he fact there still re t mains a high level of unemployment, particularly in industrial centers. Harry L. Hopkins, head of the W. P. A„ is expected to outline some phases of the unemployment prob lem of a long-term character, in an address Tuesday. Others who are to address the gathering Tuesday are Basil Manley, vice chairman of the j Federal Power Commission; Commis sioner Douglas of the Securities and Exchange Commission; Aubrey Wil liams, national youth administrator; Frank Bane of the Social Security Board, and Director Frank Persons of the United States Unemployment Bervice. “ Secretary of Interior Ickes, head of . the P.

Wipe them out.” The so-called “International Le gion”—composed of foreigners fight ing on the side of the Spanish Gov ernment—repelled an attempt by the Fascists to enter Madrid over the Los Franceses Railroad bridge across the Manzanares River, which skirts the capital. Tlie two forces fought a bloody machine gun battle before the in surgents were thrown back. At the end of the ninth day of Madrid's siege, a Government col umn was reported pushing northward from Aranjuez, threatening the right flank of the Fascists south of Madrid. The all-powerful defense junta had been sitting since early afternoon, awaiting reports of the advance from Aranjuez. Fascist bombing planes were said to be concentrating on that town, 30 miles south of the capital. The war ministry, in a note issued at 4 p.m.. said “some enemy concen trations have been observed on the front." None of the usual artillery fire was heard in Madrid, however. The mass meeting, which was brok en up by Fascist bombs, had been called for 8 a m. at the Clorieta Atocha Plaza to discuss new plans for the de fense of Madrid. Organizers canceled the meeting at the last minute, but hundreds gathered in the huge plaza on the south side of the capital unaware of the change in plans. Suddenly a roar of motors sounded above. Three tri-motor bombers flying lna1 jswpnr arms* thp snuarp Five Bombs Exploded. Before the crowds could scatter five bombs exploded in rapid succession. They were believed to be 2^8-potlnd projectiles filled with high explosives used for blasting fortifications. Bodies of men. women and children were hurled to the streets beside the carcases of mules and horses killed by the explosion. Many bodies were maimed beyond recognition. Dozens suffered shrapnel wounds. They lay moaning for help, unable to move. Those uninjured scrambled pel! mell through side streets opening on the plaza. One of the bombs ripped a hole in a subway and broke electric transmis sion lines and water mains. Every window in the vicinity was shattered and several apartments were WTecked. The facade of the ornate Ministry of Public Works was wrecked. Two large stone columns of a building nearby toppled into the street. Heavy iron gates and a high fence surrounding the Anthropological Mu seum were wrenched from their sup ports and the front of the building damaged Injured by Broken Glass. Windows of a train in a shed nearby at the Atocha Station were broken. Showers of broken glass Injured sev eral persons inside the station. A number of patients of the Provin cial Hospital, two blocks away, were thrown from their beds. Store fronts within a quarter-mile radius were shattered. Water from broken mains mingled with blood of injured and flowed through a wreckage of carts and au tomobiles parked in the plaza. A large truck was blown to bits. Anti-aircraft guns fired at the at tacking planes, but without appar ent success. Red Cross ambulances and large lorries were pressed into service to remove bodies. Two bombs exploded near the mili tary barracks. Gen. Miaja, announcing a new of fensive, said the enemy had been un able to advance beyond positions held yesterday, despite an intensive night drive. "Efficiency of our war machines now will be put to the supreme test. We will not be content until every single Insurgent Is exterminated.” Fascists Reported Deserters. The government announced 600 Fascists with full equipment and con siderable artillery had desterd from Tardienta. The Madrid defenders declared they were pressing the enemy hard in the vicinity of Sesena and along the r Manzanares River. t Government aviation was reported active over a Fascist artillery em- t placement near Northwestern Bilbao c and the war ministry said aerial bom- j bardment was being restricted “to j c points of military importance and t avoiding firing on or dropping bombs t on civilian population. Insurgents, j however, continue directing their fire t upon hospitals and small, defenseless t towns." I The hospital at Bilbao, the govern- f ment said, was bombed by a Fascist a plane yesterday. A Fascist shell yesterday tore through c the roof of No. 11 Carmen street In the t center of the capital and killed a baby. I t The baby's mother died of a heart t attack. 1 18 DIE AS ROAT IS SUNK.

In this connection, officials of the Social Security Board emphasized yes- ! terday that each employer would have j but one identification number.

Wallace Believes Bankhead Bill to Be Given Prime Study. B7 the Associated Press. COLUMBUS. Ohio, November 14.— Enlarged opportunity for the farm tenant and the aharecropper is one of the objectives of the Government, Secretary of Agriculture Wallace said today. The secretary expressed the opinion the Bankhead bill, which provides for transfer of farm property to *enants without initial payment after the ten ant has proved his ability, would be given prime consideration as an ad ministration measure by Congress. Money for transactions would be pro vided by a governmental agency on a long-time loan basis. Addressing the seventieth annual meeting of the National Grange, Sec retary Wallace said that if a crop in surance measure is enacted by Con gress, it probably would be limited to wheat, but added: "I suppose if it works in wheat, it will work for other crops.” Farmers Oppose Insurance. Some farmers, be said, have obiect ed to the insurance plan, oxpreasing the opinion It would divert attention from a subject of greater interest production control. The future ad ministration program, he said, may Include both production control and crop insurance. Close co-operation between the Na tional Grange and other farm organ isations and the Department of Agri culture have been very beneficial, Wallace said. He said he hoped this j co-operation would continue and pointed to the soil conservation act, which he said resulted from counsel with farm leaders. This counsel will be needed very promptly if we have "ordinary weath er conditions" during the next two years, he declared, because "extraor dinary things" will happen to prices of farm products. Applause greeted the Secretary's statement that farm organizations should co-operate in formulating acts by which agriculture would have power equivalent to those now exercised by corporations. Equality of Powers Favored. ‘'Farmers.” he declared, “should have ; a moral and legal power, just the same as corporations." He added, however, that It Is the duty of the Federal Government to see that powers given to farmers and their organizations are exercised Just ly and properly. The farmer, he said, must not step on the toes of other - classes In his desire to achieve hi* own ends. Referring to A. A. A., Mr. Wallace said It was not perfect, but neither were our first automobiles. It Is nec essary to bring out new models fr-an time to time. "Right now we are drawing plans for a 1937 model, and we need the co-operation of farmers,’’ he asserted. A broad outlook on the tariff ques tion Is essential, Mr. Wallace declared. "I hope agriculture will never rush to Congress for tariff revision,” he said, "because It might result in a world economic upheaval.” -•-— HELD IN THREATS Virginian Accused of Menacing Roosevelt in Letters. PHILADELPHIA. November 14 (A*). —A police magistrate held John A. Bartenback, 45. in $5,000 bail today on a charge of sending threatening letters to President Roosevelt.
