 The transatlantic aviator, who is the idol of the Spanish populace and the hero of the army air service, forced the window of a section of the old prison in which he was held, making his getaway sometime be- tween 3 a. n1 and dawn today.
 Another With Him
 Another aNldIOr. EQudTQO Reyes, escaped with Franco. Prison authori- ties said that neither had been watched very closely and that both had given their word of honor not to attempt to get away.
 Fearing that Major Franco would attempt to get a plane to fly out of Spain the government established a watch at all aviation fields and air dromes. Information of his escape was broadcast and instructions were given police to keep a close scrutiny on clubs, cafes and homes of rela- lives and friends where he might find shelter.
 Shortly before noon Premier Gen. eral Berenguer went to the palace to inform King Alfonso of Franco s escape.
 The prison from which he and Reyes fled is an old convent on the outskirts Of Madrid. used for the most part to keep political prisoners and convicts of a higher type. Most of those confined there were on their honor and were not watched closely.

Chicago, Nov. 94 UP)-Frances McGann, pretty bIue-eyed student nurse, has recovered, physicians of St. Luke's hospital said today, both from paralysis of the chest muscles and prom "psychosis of fear.'
 Three months ago Frances con- tracted an ailment which paralyzed the muscles that allow contraction and expansion of the lungs. Install cd in the hospital was an artificial lung," known to medical science as q prinker respirator. It had never been used. Apparently lifeless, the nurse was placed in the long, coffin like apparatus and the motors turn cd on. In many respects, it was an experiment,
 Device Works Perfectly
 Inside the machine an alternating vacuum and heavy air pressure et- feet was produced with pumps op- crater by the motors. The young nurse endured without a murmur the weeks of pain brought to her lungs by the artificial breathing.

.WATCHMAN HELD IN BOMBING PLOT
200 Stick Dynamite Machine
 Delivered to Newspaper
ACCUSED ONCE ACQUITTED
Henry A. Ilsc Admits Furnishing Explosive, But Denies Rest of Re- ponsibility-Blames Rival Politi. cal Groups.

San Francisco, Nov, A tP-Traced by the number on a battery in a 200-stick dynamite bomb delivered Saturday at the Spokane, Wash, Chronicle building, Henry A. Ilse, night watchman of a San Francisco bank, was arrested here today. | The bomb, in the opinion of off cers, was intended to wreck the Chronicle building. It was contained in an old truck and was addressed and delivered to the Associated Press office in the newspaper S ! building.
 Acquitted Once Before
 Two years ago Ilse was acquitted Of planting a bomb in the Spokane | Spokesman-R Review building. Both newspapers are published by W. H. Cowles, one of the directors of the i Associated Press.
 Admitting, police said, he "knew all about" the previous bombing, l1se denied direct knowledge of last Sat urday's attempt. He blamed both attempts on two political gangs which he said had been fighting ill Spokane for years. Investigators said he hinted at plots so large that two 1 United Senators couldn't start an 1n- vestigation.'
 He refused to mention any names or explain records which police say 1 indicate that the battery used In the bomb belonged to him.
 "I've been all through this before, he said. I'll say nothing.'
 His arrest came less than S6 hours after the huge bomb. which experts said was capable of wrecking both the Chronicle and the Spokesman Review buildings, had been discoV- cred by Cleveland Williams, Spokane correspondent of the Associated Press.
 Suspicious of Package
 Williams became suspicious when Ae was unable to place the sender and the trunk began to leak. A locksmith opened the trunk reveal ing the internal machine, which Williams immediately disconnected. { It was timed to explode at ?. m- yesterday. shortly after most of the cniployes for the Monday edition of the Spokesman Review came to work. One disconnected wire was | believed to have prevented the bomb from exploding as it's maker had planned.
 The trail of the bomb was traced back through Seattle and Portland 10 San Francisco. Police said it had l been picked up by a transfer con- pqny on the sidewalk not far from where Ilse lived.

GAIN IN UNTITLED
STEEL ORDERS SHOWN
October Figures Reveal Increase
Of 57,425 Tons for
the Month.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November 10.-Unfilled
orders Of the United States Steel Corpo-
ration increased SLABS tons in october
to tolad of 3,4S1, 1853 tons october 81.
In September q decrease of 1896 tons
was shown.
The back log Of September 80 was
3.424.338 tons. On August 81 untitled
orders aggregated 3,580,204 tons. On
, " 81 the total untitled tonnage was
4, J22, 055 and on october 81, 1929, I'M
filled orders amounted to 4,086,562 tons.
The small increase shown in the Steel
Corporations untitled orders during the
past month fulfilled Wall Streets more
optimist forecasts. 1t was predicted
last week that the orders should show
little If any decline, and possibly a
small gain. Previously there had been
talk of a considerable decline.
The low rate of production during
October was a factor in maintaining
the volume of untitled orders, but it
was felt in steel trade circles that the
volume may also indicate that con-
sumers were placing contracts for de-
livery rather far into the future, on
the theory that more advantageous
prices would be unlikely.
At the recent meeting of the Amer
lean Iron e. Steel Institute, President
James A. Farrell of the Steel Corpora
ton urged members to cease price-cut-
ting and take a firm stand against
further recessions.

Brokers' Comment

NEW YORK, November l0.-Broksr-
age circles were rather inclined TO look
for a technical rally today. Several
commission house letters commented on
the statement by leaders Of the Demo-
cratic party as a favorable influence.
Opinions follow:
Hornblower q Weeks: 1.-The publicity
given to the very helpful statement
issued by leaoers OF the Democratic
party who promised to cooperate with
the present administration in trying
to develop a constructive program, will
Of course. prove an additional stimulus
to investment buying.
Babcock, Rushton & Co: Both in in
tensity Of liquidation, volume and sharp
ness Of decline. the market manifests
many of the familiar symptoms of the
near approach of temporary climax"
Redmond e. Co.: THE market does
not yet give conclusive evidence Of hav-
ing established bottom. The read
Jlistment probably will continue for the
next few months, with no present indi-
cation of a broad sustained rally until
business has definitely turned for the
better, although technical rallies will
develop from time to time. Inasmuch as
mn technical rally Of more than two
days duration has taken place since
September 10 a recovery of sizeable
proportions does not seem far distant
although II may start from a substan-
italy lower level ?
'Tobey g. Kirk: Some further read
jtistments OF prices are 70 be expected,
but we feel that the situation is rapidly
reaching more encouraging status from
the constructiye standpoint"
