Twin Babies Fail
To Unite Vernons

HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 9 U.N.S0.
It will take more than the twin
sons born to Marion Ann Vernon,
stage magician, to reconcile her
to her estranged husband, Wally
Vernon, comedian. Vernon was
ill in a hospital when he heard Of
the twins. He got up, dressed
and rushed to the other hospital.
He saw the babies and he saw
Mrs. Vernon, who greeted him af-
fectionately, but she said:
"Why start something we
can't finiSh?"

LEWIS SCORNS
PEACE TALKS

Farley in Tampa
BY PAUL R. ALLERUP

PITTSBURGH, Nov. 9 GN.S.).
Organized labor in America today
walked two paths, and, divided by
the refusal of either craft or in
dustrial union proponents to yield
their separate viewpoints, plodded
toward dive: gent goals.
Efforts to effect a reconciliation
between the split ranks of the
American Federation of Labor ap-
parently collapsed last night when
John L. Lewis, adamantine head
of the United Mine Workers,
climaxed a two-day meeting here
of his committee for industrial
organization with a blunt refusal
to meet William Green, president
of the federation, for a discussion
of peace terms. Any such discus
sion, Lewis told Green in a tele-
gram, would be futile"
Will Shun Farley
Asked if this stand portended a
definite I'D lasting break OF the
C. I. o. unions with the A. F. OF
L., Lewis stated:
Gas to that, 1 am not prepared
at this time to say whether 1t
does"
It was believed significant, how.
ever, that Lewis announced at the
same time the C. I. o. would not
attend the A. F.. Of L. convention
in Tampa, Fla, a week hence.
In a statement, the C. I. o.
called upon Americas great un-
organized industries to consolidate
(anO increase its eco nomic
strength" It was stated also the
industrial campaign would be pur-
sued with renewed vigor, particu-
larly in the steel industry.

WITH THE WHITE ARMY BE
FORE MADRID, Nov. 8 Delayed
I sat in a Madrid street car sta
tion today, just Is minutes street
car ride from the Puerto del Sol,
Madrid's Forty-second and Broad
way, and watched white artillery
batteries hammer the red trenches
surrounding the capital.
We were just four city blocks
from Madrid proper.
All day watched the battle for
those last few inches, and saw
what it cost.
MOOrs Storm Trenches
From the windows Of a huge
barracks just outside the city, we
could see Moors storming the red
trenches.
One eminence was difficult.
The Moors lay in three lines. The
front line Of only 20 men was
under fearful machine gun fire.
Two hours I watched them, and
three were hit. Their comrades
dragged them back across the
fields under fire.
Meanwhile the white batteries
pounded red trenches so hard
that presently red militiamen
leaped upon the parapet and
waved a white flag.
This is the process so often
written about, but seldom wit
messed.
The MoorS failed to notice the
white flag for half an hour. but
finally saw it and cautiously went
forward and entered the trenches.
Positions OvershOt
Then the whole white army'S
motorized train moved up-hun-
dredS of trucks, passenger cars,
and tanks we got within a
stones throw of the city, quite
near the barricades, and their
artillery overshot the white posi-
tions by a quarter of a mile.
They were shooting just wide
enough to pour a volley of bull
lets into the window Of our last
observation post, so we departed.
Today the whites drove every
red plane out of the sky and ter
rorized the red front with forma-
tionS of nine bomberS at a time,
IL fighters overhead protecting
them. T.
The reds continued their attempt
to cut off the white left flank, but
they met a stone wall in Gen.
Miguel Castejon'S column. Long
before the reds got within cutting
distance of the white lines, the
center and right columns were
virtually entering Madrid.
Asylum SheIled
One objective was Madrid's in
sane asylum, and one white Of
fiCer said the occupants OF the
asylum would now believe the
whole world had come around to
their way of thinking.
The white army tonight is filled
with the joy of victory. Songs Of
triumph went up from the
bivouacs of the Moors, foreign
legionnaries, and fascists. Requests
were made by every variety Of
troops longing to be the first to
enter the capital.
On the other side it was obvious
that only a small fraction of those
desperate men are going to hold
out to the bitter end, but they are
of o sufficient number and fight
ing quality to make caution for the
assaulting troops indispensable.

 He said he would favor suggest ing the Town Plot bus line be con- nected with the Highland avenue line at Seymour street and estab. fishing Q terminay ct this point where passengers could transfer. In cases of indictment weather this plan would be advantageous. He also stated the plan would enable shop. pers and commuters going to and coming from their employment c service much better than the pres- ent ono.
 Prominent merchants in the dis. tricts have formed the opinion that c Town Plott bus line would relieve trafIic congestion entirely, bringing attention to the prevalent situation at Congress avenue and Bank street and along Bank street to Riverside street where considerable delay b caused for trolleys and motorists.
 Although no formal objection has been raised by pastors of churches, 1t is known that services in both St. Joseph's and Our Lady of Mt. Carmel are interrupted by the noise of the power and the grinding of trolley wheels. Radio reception has been interferred with causing .aii- other inconvenience to the comfort of residents along the car line.
 When the line was first establish. cd, Q delegation headed by Alder. man William P. Loeffler petitioned for the trolley and they were se- cured In this manner.

If you've tried to turn from Grand street up South Main towards Exchange place you'll agree with me on this Now I've been thinkingn and think 1t should be suggested to our Iranc Safety Council that something be done to make Grand street extend right into Union street. Of course the only way you could do this would be to tear down a block or two, but if the city bought the property N could do what 1t wants with 1t.
