MADRID, January 15. — Socialist
militiamen, attempting to halt a pro
jected insurgent advance along the
•outhern coast near Estepona, at
tacked Fascist positions today, said
Gibraltar reports to the Emergency
Defense Council.
The insurgent high command rushed
fresh troops to the new battlefield
by trucks and taxis, the reports add
ed, to speed the Fascist drive between
Algeciras and Malaga.
In the Madrid sector, insurgent
commanders were reported concen
trating men and war materials in
northwestern University City, appar
ently in preparation for renewed as
saults on the capital’s barricades.
Slight, lifting of heavy fog which
has blanketed Madrid for several days
resulted in fresh artillery bombard
ments from both sides of the lines.
Gen. Jose Miaja, chief of the defense
junta, announced the capture of one
section of yie Clinical Hospital in
the northwest sector. Government
soldiers, he said, repulsed an insur
gent charge.

But Sympathizers Persist
in Aid to Loyalists De
spite Acosta Probe.
>7 the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. January 15.—The
Government, seeking complete Amer
ican neutrality In the Spanish civil
war, brought its great powers of moral
and legal suasion into play, while
undeterred American sympathizers
with Madrid went on mustering men
to light the battles of Loyalist Spain.
These developments occurred In a
struggle made dramatic by Its impli
cations and by the very quiet in which
it was being waged:
1. Bert Acosta, one of the most
picturesque of American pilots, and a
fellow flyer, Gordon Berry, returning
voluntarily from brief service as Span
ish government war pilots, were met
by Federal agents at Quarantine and
rushed off to the Federal Building
to tell their story.
The agents said Uncle Sam wanted
to know who hired the aviators, and
all the other circumstances. Undei
law. maximum penalties of three years’
imprisonment and $1,000 fines may
be levied for enlistment in the United
States for armed service in a foreign
state.
Loyalist Aid Continue*.
2. While Acosta and Berry were be
fore the grand jury. Jack Altman, a
New York official of the Socialist
party, said the equipping of volun
teers to aid Loyalist Spain in the
"Eugene Debs’ column’’ would con
tinue. Volunteers were coming into
the column in such satisfactory num
bers. he said, that a "quota” of 500
set for New York was expected to be
met.
Already, he added, some 40 men. in
cluding technicians and military ex
perts, had gone across.
Altman contended no man joining
the Debs column was violating the
law. “They volunteer—they aren't
asked to.” he said. "Besides, they take
no oath of allegiance to Madrid.” He
explained the Socialists were support
ing the project, but it officially was
being equipped by an organization
known as the "Friends of the Debs
Column.”
3. In Washington a score-odd mem
ber* of the House organized for an at
tempt to pass the most rigid of new
neutrality legislation.
Ambulance Unit Formed.
Even m Altman was making clear
that no halt In the Debs column proj
ect was contemplated, the Medical
Bureau of the "American Friends of
Spanish Democracy” here was making
plans for a farewell meeting for 16
members of a surgical and ambulance
j unit organized to support the Spanish
! Loyalists. This mission, called the or
, ganization’s "first,” sails Saturday.
At a meeting of the personnel yes
terday Ernest Hemingway and John
i Dos Passos. the American writers, an
nounced they, too, would leave soon
for Spain to give whatever help they
could to Madrid. Just' what they
i would do was not made clear, but
I writing about the war was among
! their plans.
‘ The State Department, publishing
a warning of the invocation of crimi
nal statutes against enlistments in
this country, had appealed to patriot
ism through a statement by Acting
Secretary R. Walton Moore. To en
list on either Spanish side, he said,
was "unpatriotically inconsistent with
the American Government's policy of
the most scrupulous non-intervention
in Spanish internal affairs.”
Before appearing at the Federal
Building Acosta had said he and Berry
were "motivated in leaving Spain by
the fact that President Roosevelt was
working out his own ideas on neu
trality laws. We didn't want to get
into any foreign entanglements. We
were going to get out whether we got
paid by the Spanish government or
not.” < The flyers claim Madrid still
owes them $6,500 apiece for their
services.)

Almirante Cervera and Canariaa was
reported by Socialists to have been
forced, under a constant rain of
bombs, to turn about and run under
full steam for the refuge of the in
sui gent harbor at Ceuta, Spanish
Morocco.
Estepona, snuggling between the
Mediterranean and the Bermeja
Mountains, has proven a stumbling
block, because of its strategic location
and strong fortifications, in Gen. De
Llano's southern campaign.
Socialist Raiders' Haven.
Lying close to the vital insurgent
communication lines between Spanish
Morocco and the mainland. Estepona
and Malaga have provided haven for
Socialist raiders preying on Fascist
shipping.
-DtM. HU.Nt* ui uir imnjiumiiuua triraui,
no other route to Malaga is practicable
except a wide detour to the north.
Also in the path of Gen. De Llano,
whom the insurgent Generalissimo
Francisco Franko call* hi* "right
hand,” is Marbella, 15 mile* farther
along to the coast to Malaga.
In Jaen Province Fascists were re
ported to have bombed the railroad at
Vilches. derailing a freight train and
killing the engineer. Socialists said
Insurgent troops on the Cordoba front
had mutinied, but were quelled by
Italian volunteer troops of "the Bat
talion of Death.”
Hard-riding Fascist cavalrymen
drove government armies to the out
skirts of Marbella in a swift drive
against the southern seaport of Ma
laga.
Cut off by mountains inland, the
insurgent troopers were forced to
concentrate on capture of Marbella,
which is 30 miles from Socialist-de
fended Malaga, lone important gov
ernment stronghold on the southwest
ern coast.
20,000 Reported Massed.
Twenty thousand insurgent troop*
were massed for the attack in the
south. They opened the gateway to
Malaga. Fascist headquarters' an
nounced officially, by capture of Esta
pona, on the sea about 41 miles west
of Malaga.
Land, sea and air forces launched
the assault, but the battle of Esta
pona was prolonged for 48 furious
hours by a government counter
attack from the air on Insurgent war
ships.
DEFENSE LINES REINFORCED.
MADRID, January 15 UP.—Gov- j
ernment defense lines were reinforced
against Fascist outposts in University
City today after a series of successful
forays in the northwest section of
Madrid.
After capturing the central office*
of the clinic hospital, Gen. Jose Miaja,
chief of the defense junta, announced,
militiamen repulsed an insurgent
charge aimed at recapture of the knoll
on which the university administra
tion building stands.
In earlier skirmishes the Socialist
forces blew up a wing of the hospital
and exploded a mine the Fascists had
set for government troop*. Gen.
Miaja said his soldiers stood at a safe
distance during the blasting.
Insurgents barricaded in other
wings of the devastated building were
in a "desperate” position, he declared.
Socialist forces also were reported
to have made slight advances north
west of the capital near suburban Po
zuelo de Alarcon and El Plantio.
Two towns in the area, Fuencarral
and Tetuan de Las Victorias, were
abandoned by non-combatants com
plying with the defense junta’* de
cree ordering all settlements near the
front line* vacated by their civilian
populations.

for an almost equal number of non
political events at which to display the
resplendent uniforms that are the
talk of Berlin.
He started today ofl with a visit to
Mussolini’s forum to see several hun
dred youths perform the ordered
health exercises of fascism.
For the afternoon he scheduled a
reception at the Campidogllo. or Oov
ernate, of Rome. It is the world's old
est capitol, and in recent years Musso
lini has sought to emphasize its ex
istence as a perennial fount of civili
sation.
The first objective of the anti-com
munism bloc expected to result from
the Reichminister's conferences with
II Duce and Count Galeazzo Ciano.
minister of foreign affairs, was be
lieved to be a common line of action
in Spain.
Ultimately, the program was said
to envision what would be in ef
fect a four - power dictatorship of
European policy, based on a com
mon front to oppose any Communist
disturbance of the status quo any
where on the Continent.
Fascist observers recalled Italy
warned she would not tolerate a
communistic nucleus in the Medi
terranean when she joined Germany
in recognizing Generalissimo Franco’s
government.
Official circles felt Britain must be
equally concerned over the possibility
of such a nucleus.
The invitation would revive the
idea of a four-power pact to safe
guard Europe's status quo, which
was broached by Mussolini in 1933
and initialed by the large powers,
but was consigned to limbo by sub
sequent events.
The Fascists believe the Spanish
civil war and the efforts of the Non
intervention Committee have shown
Britain, at least, that steps far out
side the power of the League of Na
tions must be taken if European sta
bility is to be preserved.
With Germany’s air chief, Goering,
in Rome. Mussolini, as Italian avia
tion minister, Issued a call for 4,200
specialists to join the Fascist army.
The recruits, II Duce announced,
must be between 17 and 19 years of
age and are to divided Into these
classes:
Mechanics, 1,100; radio experts. 500;
meteorologists, 500: ordnance experts,
500; electricians, 800; photographers,
200; chauffeurs, 500; sanitary ex
perts, 100.
The recruits are to be enrolled for
a two-and-a-half-year training course
and may continue in the air force If
they pass technical examinations.
FRANCE CALLS IT "TRAP."
PARIS, January 15 OP).—Interested
French sources denounced today as
"a trap" a reported Italo-German
plan for a four-power European alli
ance against communism.
Government spokesmen declined to
comment, pleading lack of official in
formation, but well informed politi
cal observers said France could not
think of joining such an alliance.
They called it a "transparent ma
neuver” to attempt to force France
to help Germany isolate the Soviet
Union or, failing in this, to win Great
Britain to the Italo-German bloc.
This would swing the European bal
ance of power against France and
Russia, they said.
All recent official pronouncements
have been to the effect that France
Intends to stand by her mutual assist
ance pact with Russia.
Nevertheless, France was reported
in Informed financial circles today
to have agreed to go ahead with
parleys looking to Improved commer
cial relations with Germany.
Paul Bastid, minister of commerce,
was expected to take a leading part
in the negotiations after conferences
with Andre Francols-Poncet, French
Ambassador to Germany, now in
Paris.
Sources close to the government
reported France was in despair cl
holding the mark in line with inter
national currencies single-handed, and
was planning to bring Germany into
the Anglo-French-American mone
tary accord to maintain currency
“equilibrium.”
LONDON COLD TO REPORT.
LONDON, January 13 [IP).—With
extreme coldness Informed circles re
ceived reports today at an Italo-Ger
man proposal to Invite Great Britain
and France to Join an anti-Communlst
bloc.
It was pointed out Britain was not
only holding fast to her determination
to steer clear of both fascism and
communism, but was basing her pres
ent policy in Spain on collaboration
with Franoe.
“Obviously." it was said, Franoe
would be even leas responsive because
at her Popular Front sympathies.
German Ambassador Joachim von
Rlbbentrop’s statement on his first ap
pointment to London, urging Britain
to Join an an,ti-CommunUt crusade, it
was recalled, created an unfavorable
Impression.

FARMER’S PURSE
PLUMPER IN H
Income Higher.as Expenses
Lag, So Purchasing
Power Is High.
By the Aitoclsttd Press.
Federal farm experts crawled out
from a stack of statistics today and
announced that as a whole the Na*
tion's farmers showed financial gains
In 1936.
Net income of farmers after de
ducting $4.230 000.000 for wages, in
terest, taxes, rent supplies and other
production costs was placed at $5
300.000. 000.
The experts said this was 17 per '
cent larger than in 1935 and only 7
per cent less than the comparable
1929 income of S5.669.000.000.
They said the severe drought had
damaged the corn and wheat belt in
comes, but cotton was a bright spot
in the tabulations, with both a larger
crop and higher prices. It netted
growers $955,000,000, compared with :
$737,000,000 in 1935.
Even the wheat crop, with a short
Spring wheat yield, showed a gain.
The farm value was estimated at
$624,000,000. more than $100,000,000
above the 1935 crop.
The short crop of potatoes showed
a wider increase. It was valued at
$367,000,000, against $231,000,000 the
! previous year.
The experts cited these estimates of
gross farm income and income from
actual cash sales for the last two years
and the depression loss of 1932;
Gross farm income, 1936, $9,530,
000.000; 1935, $8,508,000,000; 1932. $5,
337.000. 000. Cash farm sales, 1936,
$8,100,000,000; 1935, $7,201,000,000;
1932, $4,377,000,000.
They said these advances, however,
did not tell the whole story. While In
come went up 12 per cent, expenses
Increased only 6 per cent, they said, so
that the “pay realised by the farmer
for his work and capital in 1936 had a
purchasing power apparently the high
est in any of the last 13 years for
which these Income estimates are
available.”

Its detailed coverage of the Insurgent
drive on Madrid today—the reported
Hitler “deadline” for Fascist capture
of the Spanish capital.
Well grounded reports a week ago
said the German Reichsfuehrer had
given Gen Francisco Franco, the
Spanish Fascist dictator-designate,
until today to take Madrid, which was
interpreted as meaning Germany and
Italy felt they could stave oil Anglo
French demands for a stoppage of
foreign aid that long.
After that, it was indicated at the
time. Franco might get no more Fas-,
cist assistance unless he showed defi
nite signs of winning the war.
But today the newspapers made no
mention of the fighting there. They
played up the "great victory” at
Estepona, In the south of Spain, won
by the Fascist armies.
