REVOLUTION OPENS IN SPANISH TOWN
5000 Troops Open Fire on Jaca,
 Near Frontier

Madrid, Dec. 12 P)-A military
 revolution was started in Spain to-
 day on the heels of widespread labor
 troubles which have continued for several weeks.
 The seething political situation in
 Spain boiled over at the town Of
 Jaca, near the French frontier,
 where 5000 infantrymen and artll-
 lerymen opened fire on the town. When the news reached military headquarters at Madrid troop trains were ordered to converge upon Jaca
 in an effort to suppress the rebel lion.
 Censorship in Force
 Complete censorship was clamped down imm ediately on all radio and telegraph messages. Garrison towns throughout the north of Spain sprang into feverish activity as troops marched through to their trains ''on the double" Nothing but official information came through to Madrid tonight concerning the circumstances sur- rounding the revolt of the soldiers, and nothing at all was made public by government officials.

This suggestion was communicated to Senator Watson. Th idea was viewed as a means of getting clearly before the senate the administration reasons for what it wishes done or left undone.
 Even though prospect is slight that any relief legislation distinctly objectionable to the administration will be passed by the senate, a good measure of debate and full consider ation for the many proposals is in sight.

MERGER RESTS
ONF|XEDFARE

Retention of the two-year fare
proviso is essential to any con,
sideration of the merger resolu
ton by the Senate District Com
mittee.
This opinion was expressed to-
day by Senator Arthur H. Van
denberg of Michigan. one Of the
most active members of the com
mittee in matters having to do
with public utilities.
Item Controversial
The section of the resolution
providing for continuance of the
present rate of fare for two
years after the merger becomes
effective is one of the most con-
troVerSial items in the unifica-
ton measure.
Senator Vandenberg said today
that if agreement to continue
the present fare cannot be
reached by the company further
consideration of the merger reSo-
luton would be simply a waste
of time of the committee. Van
denberg pointed out, however,
that he is speaking his personal
views and is not talking for the
committee.
William F. Ham, president of
the Washington Railway and
Electric Company, at the hear
ing of the Senate committee on
the merger resolution, declared
that he felt that the provision
of the two-year fare continuance
was an "inSurmountable OBJ
stacle" to the merger.
Ham asserted that he did not
believe the stockholders of the
companies would accept a merger
agreement embodying such a
proposal. At that time Ham
pointed out that the companies
are now in court appealing from
a decision of the Utilities Com,
mission which denied them an
increased rate of fare.
He said the companies hope
within a few months to have
the court act favorably on the
appeal and that in justice to
the stockholders the officers
could not agree to hold up the
increased earnings thus expected
in contemplation of uncertain
and indefinite income as the re.
suit of the merger two years
hence.
