FRANCO REPULSED
IN TWO CHARGES
_
Madrid Forces Consolidate
Hotly Fought Victory on
Fascist Left Flank.
BACKGROUND—
Great loss of life and property
destruction has marked the Span
ish revolution which began mors
than S months ago, with the in
surgent Fascists no nearer capture
of Madrid than when the siege of
the capital city began nearly 9
weeks ago.
Br the Associated Prsss.
MADRID, December 31.—Socialist
troops took up strong positions west
of the capital today, consolidating a
hotly-fought victory on the Fascist
left flank.
At Pocuelo, Vlllaneuva. Delpardillo
and Valdemorielo the Spanish de
fenders strengthened their lines for
12 miles along the strategic El Es
corlal highway to the snow-capped
Guadarrama Mountains.
The Fascists were repulsed with
heavy losses in two charges, launched
simultaneously against the north
western first line of defense, the gov
ernment reported.
After the bitter lighting the So
cialists rushed troops to their new
positions. The Socialists captured six
tanks, which they proudly dragged
into the city as spoils of war.
Gen. Francisco Franco, the insur
gent commander, appeared to be
bringing up reserves to strengthen
his left wing in readiness for a drive
on the El Escorial highway.
A victory there would open the road
from the Guadarramas to the insur
gent forces that have been blocked
at the mountain passes since the first
few weeks of the war.
Artillery threw tons of shells on the
Fascist concentrations throughout the
day, seeking to delay the potential
danger which the government recog
nizes in that direction.
The government took advantage of
the after-the-battle lull to prepare an
assault on the insurgent right flank
south of the city.
Gen. Franco’s position now lies
roughly in the angle formed by the
Madrid-El Escorial road on the north
west and the Madrid-Aranjues road
almost due south.
An insurgent cavalry charge near
Aranjuez yesterday, the government
said, was repulsed.
It was reported from Barcelona the
Fascist cruiser Canarias shelled the
small town of Cutera on the Catalan
coast, but the range was poor and
the explosives fell into the nearby
mountains without doing any damage.
Four insurgent planes also were said
to have taken part in the attack on
Culera as well as Port Bou. near the
French border. The reports said sev
eral bomba fell 2 miles within French
territory.
China
(Continued Prom First Page )
in the other Western provinces, in
cluding Shensi, seat of the uprising,
had reported their safety.
Shlgeru Kawagoe, the Japanese Am
bassador, arrived from Shanghai to be
closer to the seat of government dur
ing the crisis.
It was reported he carried word
from his government Japan was
deeply ooncemed over any terms of
settlement that might be reached and,
If they were detrimental to Japanese
Interests, Tokio would be compelled
to act.
Troops of the Nanking government
pressed their attack on Sianfu to
within 25 miles of Marshal Chang’s
stronghold, capturing two mutinous
battalions.
The military, convinced by Chang’s
ignoring of the central government's
ultimatum to free the generalissimo
that it was time to "quit talking" and
use force, were pushing the retreating
rebels back on Sianfu.
Hope for Peaee Persists.
Despite the reports of the revolt’s
spread and the determined show of
armed strength, hope still persisted
that a peaceful solution could be found
for the crisis.
Government officials, however, point
ed out that Dr. Soong was acting “on
his personal initiative” and “as a fam
ily representative.”
“The government," a spokesman
insisted, “will not participate m such
degrading negotiations.”
Reports persisted that Marshal
Chang was willing to free the captive
generalissimo and exile himself from
China if hla personal safety were
guaranteed.
liuermai conversation*. auch as
that Dr. Soong was undertaking, were
represented as being the best hope
lor an end to the impasse at the pres
ent stage.
But while the conversations went
on, the erack divisions the generalis
simo had trained himself were pledged
to fight for his freedom.
It was only 25 miles southwest of
Slanfu that the two battalions were
captured in the first officially an
nounced battle of the civil war.
At Huhslen Chang’s garrison was
disarmed.
Reports at Variance.
Reports of the Lanchow revolt were
at variance with previous reports,
which said that Gen. Yu had been
captured on December 12 with Chians.
Oen. Yu, former governor of Hopei
Province, is a bitter enemy of Japan
and was forced from his Hopei posi
tion by the demands of Japanese
military authorities in North China.
One of Marshal Chang’s original
demands before he would free Chiang
was for a promise of war against the
Japanese and consolidation of Com
munist elements in the national gov
ernment.
Kansu Province, where Oen. Tu la
Governor, Is one of the last strong
holds of communism in China.
It was this demand for war againat.
Japan, aome quarters said, that had
caused the break in previous negotia
tions for Chlang'a release.
Americans Unheard Ptmr.
While Americans In Lanchow had
not been heard from, Herman Swen
son of Jersey City, N. J., of the China
Inland Mission at Slanfu telegraphed
the American Embassy all Americans
were safe at Slanfu.
Similar assurance was received from
Hankow, Hupeh Province, that mis
sionaries In Bast Kansu Province werd
safe.
Rev. W. Bnglund, American mis
sionary attached to the Seandanavian
Alliance Mission at Slanfu, telegraphed
to Hankow that Slanfu authorities had
given them assurances of protection.
"Principal danger," he telegraphed,
"appear* to be from possible air
raids.”

Parents Given Three Choices
On “Telling AIV” About Santa
By the Associated Press.
This is for parents only.
If the doors are locked and the
shades drawn against inquisitive
youngsters, we'll discuss Santa Claus.
you’ll have to decide for yourself
if the children should be told the
truth about the jolly old saint, but
if you want to tell them, there are
at least three ways to do it, the
United States Office of Education said
today: .
1. The brutal way. The weary
parent says, "Son, brace yourself.
This is going to hurt me as much as
it hurts you. But there isn't any
Santa Claus.” No guarantee of re
sults accompanies this method.
2. The demonstration method. This
costs money, but modern visual edu-'
cation theories commend it. Daddy
dresses up in the red garb of Santa,
frolics with his children, and un
masks to show them who Santa is
or isn't. This method is guaranteed
to disillusion children, but whether
they get disillusioned about Santa or
daddy is open to argument
3. The legend method. Mother
had better take over this one. She
picks a cozy overstuffed chair be
fore a fireplace. Tfee lights are dim.
In her most soothing story-telling
voice, she tells her trusting offspring
Christmas legends. She relates the
story of St. Nicholas and gently ex
plains Santa is a beautiful myth, but
that his spirit of generosity is the
real thing. This procedure rates high,
but depends on mother’s narrative
ability.
Now, all you have to do is decide
whether the children ought to be
told.

DIPLOMAT IS TOO BUSY
TO WRITE BEST SELLERS
■r the Aiioelated Preu.
INDIANAPOLIS, December 21.—
In a most diplomatic way the author
ot “The House of a Thousand Gables,''
“Port of Missing Men,” "Roalland at
Red Gate” and a score of other books
explained today he's too busy being
a diplomat to devote any time or
thought to writing stories.
Meredith Nicholson, United States
Minister to Venezuela, home for a brief
vacation, said his work as the Nation's
representative In the South American
country is too exacting to permit time
for the writing of anything but State
Department reports.
"I'm a reporter again,'* said Mr.
Nicholson, who prefaced his writing
of "best sellers” with a few years of
journalism In Indianapolis. “My job
Is to keep the State Department In
formed of what’s going on,” he said, |
"and I don't want to get scooped.”
