SPAIN FACES
NEW THREAT
Of CIVIL WAR
State Of Alarm Proclaimed
Throughout Nation As Presi-
dent Seeks Premier.
By LESTER ZIFFREN

United Press Staff Correspondent
MADRID, April 26.-Fear of civil
war gripped the country today as
President Niceto Alcala zamora es-
sayed the seemingly impossible task
of finding new premier. A state
of alarm had been proclaimed Off
cially.
The state of alarm, one of three
ending in martial law, was proclaim
ed at midnight throughout the
country.
Two hours later a youth threw
bomb at the motor car of Salazar
Alfonso, minister of interior, the
chief police authority, as he left
the ministry in a motor car. The
bomb fell short and fell to the
street without exploding. The
would-be assassin escaped.
Right and left wing political ele-
ments watched each other closely,
ready to resort to arms at the first
sign that either planned a coup.
Many leaders believed that in the
chaotic political conditions, compli-
Gated by strikes, formation Of a sta
BILE cabinet would be impossible.
They hesitated to contemplate the
alternative-which many believe
would be a test of power in the
streets of the cities between right
and left wings.
The greatest crisis in the repub-
lie, just through celebration of its
third anniversary, faced President
Zamora and political leaders.
1t was precipitated, after long ex-
pecta ton, by the proclamation of an
amnesty bill that freed or permitted
to return from exile political Of
tenders.
Tense feeling among millions of
Spaniards was offset by scenes of
rejoicing as men who had been ser
wing prison terms were released.
Across the frontiers of France and
Portugal came others.
Strike Forgotten
A typical incident was in the re-
lease of General Jose San Jurjo,
leader of the monarchiSt revolution
of 1882 and one of the most popu-
lar men in the country. He was
cheered by 5000 towns people as he
left Santa Catalina military prison
at Cadiz. Accompanied by his wife,
his son, friends who included bull
fighters and party of fellow army
officers released with him. he left
by motor car. He went to Gibraltar
late last night, to observe the polit-
ical situation abstractly before re-
turning to Spain.
The rejoicing Of the freed was in
contrast to misgivings of others who
realized that those released were
all politically active and ready to
fight for their convictions.
Almost forgotten in the political
excitement was the grave strike sit
uation. At Valencia, there were
xnany shooting incidents between
strikers and civil guardsmen.
Strikes were spreading to the
farming country, where Iaborers re-
fused to touch the potato crop.

John Bennus. photographer

"an invasion of the rights of a
newspaper.
81 must admonish these boys, -
said Superior Judge Charles S.
Burnell, "that there is no open
season on newspaper editors as
there was back in the 40's and SO IS
when disgruntled readers often
horsewhipped editors.'
AL Reinke, another race driver
charged with Stapp with the CONT
CT kidnapping, was killed two weeks
ago at Ascot speedway.
Stapp and Tomei were ordered to
appear May 10 for sentence and for
hearing on the applications of the

acked at strategic points in the
midwest today while their general,
Melvin Purvis, department of JUS
tice official, revealed they expect

Other groups were supposedly in

drive against the Dillinger gang
were some 5000 state, county and
local police. Rumors also spoke of
underworld plans to turn up the
"hottest man in recent history.

Authorities throughout the mid
west were busy tracing down new
reports of the outlaw having been

public officials and this alone was
expected to make it virtually I'M
possible for the gangster to remain

At Elk River, Mimi, farmer re-
ported that he had been held up

gang. At the same time the Dill

the robbery of the Mogadore bank
at Akron, O., of $4,000 loot.
Criticism, meanwhile, piled up
against Purvis and his agents for
their failure to catch Dillinger in
Wisconsin. Residents Of the Mer-
GER region circulated petition
asking PurviS' removal until Dill

CONFER UPON
STATEMENTS

TOXIC, Friday, April 27. U.P)-
Kolsi Hirota, foreign minister, per-
sonally admitted responsibility TOR
Japan IS April 20 declaration of pol
icy toward China but claimed to
have neither seen or approved
less conciliatory pronouncement
made by the foreign office spoNes-
man, Eli Amau, on April II, the
United Pres slearned today from
an authoritative source.
This development followed a visit
paid Hirota yesterday by Joseph C.
Grew, United States ambassador,
to discuss foreign office statements
which caused a worldwide sensation
because they were interpreted as a
warning to other powers to keep
their hands off, China.
TIirota s April 20 statement con-
tanned three principal points. 1t
outlined Japan's desire for unifica-
ton and property of China; ia
pan wish to maintain the "open
door, in China, and the declara-
ton that Japan does not oppose
foreign assistance, commercial, cul-
tural or otherwise, in China as
long as the peace of Eastern Asia
is not disturbed.
Spokesman Amau's statement Of
April II created wide sensation as
it was interpreted as proclaiming
Japan's IS overlordship in China and
her objection to foreign loans or
advice to China when such aid
might be diverted to military or
political uses.
Hirota and Grew talked for IS
minutes after which the American
ambassador declined to reveal what
was said. 1t was known, however
that Grew asked if purported
translation of the spokeman S pol
icy statement in a New York news
paper was correct.
1t was understood that Hirota re-
piled that the foreign office did not
wish to have the translation con-
sidered official. He explained mat
ters connected with the statement,
it was understood, and did not de-
ny its accuracy.
