PICKARD C WMttra Nwpapr Union. of thousands of HUNDREDS the party con-vention In Nuremburg, were roused to great enthusiasm by a proclama-- , , ' 1 ff I tion from Reichs-fuehr- er Hitler to the effect that Ger-many, having re-armed and scrapped most of the Ver-sailles treaty, was ready to press its demand for restora-tion of its pre-wa- r colonies. This, be asserted, was nec- - FIERCE attacks by the Spanistj resulted in the capture of Irun, on the French border, and the defenders were mercilessly slaughtered save for those who were able to take refuge in France. The town was reduced to smoking ruins, and the victors promptly started an advance westward against San Sebastian, their main objective in the north. Recognizing the fact that this large resort city could not long be defended, the government administration there offered to sur-render the place if full amnesty were promised; but declared. If this were refused the city would be burned to the ground and the 625 fascist prisoners held there would be shot There was great discord among the defenders, the anarch-ists insisting on destroying the city anyhow. Then the Basque nationals took a hand, assuming control of the city and sending a lot of the an-archists to Bilbao. This move re-sulted in a virtual armistice while negotiations for surrender of the city went forward. Later it was reported that the rebel forces had rejected the terms of surrender, and shelling of the city began. The civilian Inhabitants were fleeing in panic. South of Madrid the government forces were said to have made progress and there were claims that Talavera had been taken and that the Alcazar in Toledo was practical-ly battered to pieces by loyalist artillery. The rebels' advance on Madrid from the south and west was supposed to have been halted. The Madrid government was re-organized and Francisco Largo left wing Socialist, was made premier. French workers In Paris in a great demonstration insisted that the government abandon its non-intervention policy an; give active aid to the Spanish government Premier Blum, while not conceal-ing his sympathy with the Madrid crowd, declared that if France dropped neutrality, Italy and Ger-many would be able to give the Spanish rebels much speedier and more effective aid than the French could give to the loyalists. Representatives of twenty-fou- r powers were scheduled to confer in London on plans for the establish-ment of a nonintervention control committee. Portugal, however, was still holding out pounds a month for manufacture of a butter substitute. Mr. Hull referred the protests to Assistant Secretary Sayre, who pointed out that the provision for free importation of the nut and oil was authorized by congress In the trade agreement act of 1934. He added that the success of the pro-gram was of vital interest to the American dairy farmer, "who has more to gain from the of prosperous domestic mar-kets for his products through 'the restoration of en abundant foreign trade than by a policy of excluding even the most remotely competitive products." THERE was glee in government when it was announced that the United States treasjry of-fering of $914,000,000 in 20 to 23 year two and three-fourth- s per cent bonds dated September 13 was oversubscribed nine times. Of course those who are informed know that the reason is the banks, in-surance companies and other in-vestment Institutions are glutted with money for which they have been seeking profitable employment Of the treasury's latest offering $400,000,000 of bonds Is to raise new cash and $514,000,000 is to provide for the exchange of 1.3 per cent notes maturing September 15. OUNDREDS of delegates, from many nations, were present when the third World Power con-ference opened In Washington, with President Julius Dorpmueller in the chair. Prospects were good for a use-ful discussion of the problems connected with the Industry, but discord crept in early in the pro-ceedings. At a round table debate on pub-lic regulation and essary to the eco-- Adolf Hitler mdcpendenc, of Germany and would be achieved within the next four years. Said the ehancellor: "It is regrettable that the rest of the world fails to understand the na-ture and greatness of our task. If fe certain British politician declares Germany needs no colonies as she may buy her raw materials, then this remark is about as bright as that of the Bourbon princess who, When she saw a mob crying for bread, wondered why if thj people had no bread they did not eat cake. "If Germany had not for fifteen years, been squeezed dry and cheat-ed of her entire international sav-ings; if she had not lost her entire foreign holdings; if. above all, she Still possessed her colonies, we could much more easily master the difficulties." Then, addressing the convention directly, the fuehrer launched a new campaign against bolshevism and the Jews. "Bolshevism seeks to exterminate governments based on a community of race and blood and replace them oy non-Arya- n Jewish element of no race," Hitler warned. "Sooner or later sovietistic authority states will end in anarchy, since Jewish ele-ments possess only despotic facul-ties, never organizing reconstruc-tive ones. "The rock of foundation of the state is an authoritarian will. Un-limited individual liberty leads to anarchy. All states have experi-enced the destructive effect of de-mocracy." FOLLOWING closely upon the of Gen. Rydz-Smigl- y of Poland, France and Poland signed a military treaty of friend-ship. It was reported, too, that France had agreed to lend 600.000,-00- 0 francs for completion of Po-land's new railroad linking the coal fields with the port of Gdynia, rival of the Free City of Danzig. Josef Beck, Polish foreign min-ister, told Berlin the Franco-Polis- h accord would have no effect on friendly relations with Germany; but nevertheless there was consid-erable anxiety in Warsaw concern-ing Germany's reaction. BACK at his desk after an illness months, Secretary of the Navy Claude A. Swanson immedi-ately made an announcement that ownership of utill-JuH-ti M. P. David-Dorpmuell- er f0n representing Mayor Fiorello La Guardia of New York, said the only way to reduce electric rates is by threatening pub-lic ownership. Three prominent pri-vate utility men promptly "took a walk." and John C Dalton, man-ager of the County of London Elec-tric Supply, criticized Davidson's talk as a "tirade." The discussion started in connec-tion with a paper by John E. Zim-merman, president of the United Gas Improvement company, who held that power "yardsticks" such as the TV A and Boulder Dam can-not be compared with private utili-ties unless operating conditions are similar. Such yardsticks, he said, will lead to competitive methods already proved "wasteful and un-satisfactory." In papers taking the opposite view, Prof. William E. Mosher of Syracuse university, and James C Bonright of the New York State Power Authority, held that public competition with private companies is "indisputable evidence" of de-clining faith in regulation. ACCORDING to the New York dispatches from Washington are usually most reli-able, President Roosevelt Is consid-ering for submission to congress, in event of his a plan of governmental reorgani-zation. The plan possibly would in-volve, the Times stated, the con-solidation or abolition of some of the major departments and bu-reaus. "Whatever the President finally proposes," the Times said, "one may hear in informed cuarters now that the regular cabinet posts might be decreased ..." A possibility, the Times stated, would be consolidation of the army navy and air corps in a department of national defense. "The administration proposes to follow a definite policy of curtailing or dismantling emergency units that have outrun their usefulness," the paper continued. will be of deep in-terest to Japan. The annual fleet maneu-vers, which last May were shifted to the Canal Zone as a conciliatory gesture to Japan, will be held next year in North Pacific and Hawaiian waters, and probably the CREWS of two Portuguese mutinied and decided to take the vessels to the aid of the Spanish government forces at Mal-aga or Valencia. As the ships started to leave their buoys the shore batteries opened fire. Twelve of the mutineers were killed and twenty wounded, and the others speedily gave in. The Lisbon gov-ernment said the men were under the influence of communist propa-ganda. SENATOR GEORGE W. NORRIS Republican, who aid he wished to retire from public life, is a candidate for in spite of himself. A petition plac-ing him on the ticket was filed by more than forty thousand of his friends, and only one thousand sig-natures were necessary. Mr. Norris is seventy-fiv- e years old. Chairman Farley of the Democratic party said the filing of the Norris petition made him "very happy." Gov. Eugene Talmadge of Geor-gia, severe critic of the New Deal, was defeated for nomination as United States senator by the pres-ent incumbent Richard B. RusselL In Washington state Gov. Clarence D. Martin was renominated by the Democrats and former Gov. R. H. Hartley was named by the Repub-licans. Gov. Ed C. Johnson of Colo- - rado captured the Democratic nom-ination for senator and will be op-posed by R. L. Sauter, Republican. Arizona Democrats refused renomi-natio- n to Gov. B. B. Moeur, select-ing instead R. C. Stanford of Phoenix. In Connecticut the Re-publicans nominated Arthur M. Brown for governor. HEROIC actions and dramatic marked the collision of the excursion steamer Romance and the steamship New York in a dense fog ten miles off Boston, Mass. The Romance sank in twen-ty minutes, but every passenger and member of the crew was taken safely aboard the New York. The rescued numbered 268, most of the passengers being women and chil-dren from Greater Boston. The New York then turned back into Boston harbor with a twelve foot hole in her bow. There was no panic aboard the Romance, and the officers and crews of both vessels displayed discipline and bravery that elicited high praise. JULIANA, crown princess of the has found her fu-ture husband in a German prince, Bernhard zur Lippe-Biesterfel- d. The announcement of their betrothal was hailed in the Hague with ut-most joy. Juliana, who is twenty-seve- n, is beloved for her jollity and good humor, and also she has been carefully trained for the throne. Prince Bernhard, twenty-fiv-e yers old, has been working for the Ger-man dye trust No date has been set for the wedding. MRS.

Tokio press will Sec. Swanson yelp again. With the announcement Secretary Swanson asserted Japanese plans to retain overage submarines and de-stroyers involve a "violation" of the London and Washington naval trea-ties, which are to expire December 81 by Japanese abrogation. He fol-lowed up his charge with tie state-ment that the United States has , completed plans for two new battle-ships and is prepared to begin con-struction "at a moment's notice." The fleet maneuvers, officially designated as "fleet problem No, 18," will be held during late May and early June. The area of oper- - FRANCE'S government has conditions in Europe are so threatening that it must spend a huge sum for national de-fense. So it adopted a program for increasing the efficiency of the army which will cost $930,000,000 in the next four years. The proposal was made by Edouard Daladier, min-ister of defense. The first instal-ment of $230,000,000 will be dis-bursed in 1937. The program calls for an in-tensive increase of mechanized units and also for rearmament Furthermore, it provide-- an in-crease in the size ol the professional army and the creation of a special-ized group of long service noncom-missioned officers such as already exist in the French navy. The program also provices for strengthening the frontier fortifica-tions. But the chief improvement will be made in the air force which will be increased by 2,000 planes. ations, it was indicated, will be the triangle between the Aleutian Is-lands, Hawaii, and Seattle, where the fleet problem of 1935 was con-ducted. Vessels and planes prob-ably will work as far west as the Wake Islands. Armament of the new battleships Is at present limited to 14 inch guns, but Admiral William H. Standley, , chief of naval operations, said frankly that if Japan does not agree to this limitation by next April, "the Sky is the limit" AMERICAN dairymen are to Secretary of State Hull against the reciprocal trade treaty with Brazil which, they assert is seriously injuring the in-dustry by encouragement of the manufacture of imitation butter.

But then again, on the other hand, part of It may be due to returning residents who went hurriedly away when the papers started printing a certain romantic diary. If your sins do not always find you out at least they frequently find you getting out If s all rer now and peace and Quiet have been' restored to our home circles, but at the height of the rush one involuntarily was re-minded of the ancient story of the Frenchman who i.et with his friend he could prove every man, however outwardly pure, had a dreaded sec-ret in his life. So, to test it he sent to each of the ten most re-spected notables in Paris an anony-mous telegram reading as follows: "All is discovered. Flee at once." And next morning nine of them were gone and the tenth had com-mitted suicide.

Possibly you may remember a certain murderer's trial and what sort of publicity went before it and what actually occurred whilst 'twas being held, and what the aftermath has been, with attorneys and key- -' witnesses and yes actually some of the Jurors peddling their private views for public consumption; and the governor of a great state dis-playing curious and violent activi-ties, even when the verdict had been called a fair one by the high courts?
