The Strictest control Of foreign

Bilbao Deserted
Homes were deserted and shops
were closed. A Communist COM
mittee was giving orders to the
governor Of Biscay province who
passed, them on to his Subordi-
mates. Armed groups patrolled
the streets and the roads leading
into Bilbao from all directions.
The shotgun and the red arm

I saw Reds trucking sand to an

effort to construct an airport in
the hope that planes might arrive

fight off the insurgents.
Many Wounded
The government this afternoon
requisitioned two buildings for
use as hospitals. Other hospitals

News SerVice)

FUENTARRABIA, Spain, July
29.-American diplomats defied
gunfire to rescue American cit
liens in the North Spanish war
zone, Hallett johnson, counselor
of the United States embassy in
Madrid, revealed today.
johnson, who had been isolated
in San Sebastian for several days,
disclosed details of the exacting
hours during the battle between
insurgents and loyaliSts for con-
troll of San Sebastian, famous sea
side resort.
johnson was interviewed at the
summer villa here Of American
Ambassador Claude G. Bowers,
who himself was unable to COM
municate with the outside world
during the days when no one
knew whether San Sebastian
would fall to the insurgents or
be held by government forces.
The villa is but a few miles from
San Sebastian, but they could not
be traverSed during the fighting.
Jumped for His Life
Biddle Harrison, secretary to
Bowers. had to jump for his life
from his car twice while trying
to come here from San Sebastian
with a message for the envoy.
Each time he narrowly managed
to reach shelter from a rain OF
bullets striking around the car,
johnson said. He continued:
"A bullet also whipped very
close by the ear of Walter H.
SchOelIkOpf, first secretary Of
the Madrid embassy, while he
was inside a hotel in San Sc
bastian. Several Of the various
embassy staffs were sheltered
there.
"The embassy corps were iSO-
lated while airplanes were
bombing overhead and q de-
strOyer was Smelling the shore
in the chaotic guerilla warfare,
which was carried out brutally
in the streets"
johnson revealed he drove
from France to San Sebastian on
the day the civil war broke out,
and that he was stopped several
times by bands who after much
pickering gave him permission to
proceed. He established head
quarters in the hotel in San Sc
bastian, where the British and
other legations Joined him.

TIRED FEET!

When your feet ache, you want
quick and lasting relief. Many people
have learned that rubbing alcohol
gives it. But ordinary rubbing alcohol
has its drawbacks. 1t spills; tends to
dry out" sensitive skins; is sloppy
and hard to apply.
Here is new discovery: "Creamed"
rubbing alcohol. Just dip your finger
tips into a jar and massage your feet
briskly. Turns to liquid as you rub.
And it does the iUork. 1t soothes those
burning, aching feet-relieves the
soreness-makes them feel cool and
refreshed.
This new "creamed" rubbing alcohol
doesn't dry out" the skin. 1t leaves
it smooth and glowing.
You'll find "creamed" alcohol is
better for all rubbing alcohol needs.
1t has a clean, refreshing odor. Its
non.spill feature does away with
waste and makes it economical to use
and easy to carry around if you
travel. Contains 70To absolute alcohol,
the U. S. Government standard for
rubbing -alcohol compounds.
"Creamed" alcohol is sold only under
the trade name "Spry." Get it at your
drugstore. A generous trial jar is only
I0t-enough for quite a number of
messages. Large jar, 29e-double size,
z9t. A little Spry goes = long way.

Army Engineers Reveal
Plans for Flood
Control Here

Flood protection for Washing.
ton will be effected by relieving
the load in the upper reaches of
the Potomac River basin, elimi.
mating the necessity of dikes or
levees in the District, under the
new plans of the Army engineers.
This proposition was announced
today by Senator Royal S. Cope
land Cd, New York, chairman
of the Senate Commerce Commit
tee, now engaged in considering
the omnibus flood control meas
ure.
In the original bill passed by
the House, $571, 900 was included
for the District. The Army en-
gineers revised the measure and
cut out the District item.
Senator Copeland, who is also
a member of the Senate District
Committee, inquired as to what
the reasons were for cutting out
this item. He said:
II was told that the plans
for relieving the river load in
the tributaries and upper
reaches of the basin would
eliminate the necessity for set
ting up any dikes or levees
here. But, I wouldn't doubt
If they will put back into the
bill the additional $571,OOO be-
fore it gets through Congress"
The flood control item in the
upper basin Senator Copeland
was referring to is STAB, 400 pro-
vided for constructing dikes,
levees and other control devices
at Cumberland and South Cum
berland, Md, and Ridgeley, w.
Va.
During the recent floods, a
bridge connecting Cumberland
and Ridgeley was almost under
water and 1t is at this point
that it is planned to check any
future torrents.

RELIEF CRISIS
STUDIED BY
DC. HEADS
Board Asks
Additional Funds
of Congress

Although unable to render i'm.
mediate assistance in the most
serious relief crisis the Capital
has faced, the District Commis-
sioners today will consider q re-
quest that it petition the Budget
Bureau and Congress for another
deficiency appropriation, and also
a plan of Commissioner Melvin C..
Hazen to boost the gasoline tax
l cent to provide jobs for relief
clients.
Sixteen thousand persons in the
employable class will be cut off
the relief rolls tomorrow. Since
the Board of Public Welfare de-
cided to care only for the 10000
unemployables and 1000 Of the
most needy families among the en-
ployables, Director Elwood Street,
of the board, has been besieged
by numerous requests from unfor-
tunateS for a little more aid.
Representative Isabella Green
way CD of Arizona interested
herself in the troubles of a family
which had received it's last relief
check and wrote to Aubrey VIII
liams, deputy FERA adminiStra-
tor. After making inquiry of
Director Street, Mr.. Williams re.
piled:
"It appears unlikely that
there will be any change in
this situation unless additional
appropriations are made in
Congress or new taxes imposed"
, The commissioners and the
Welfare Board had requested
Congress for a $60S. 900 deficiency
appropriation to run the program
through June 30. They were
given only $33O,0OO. The Wei
fare Board will ask the city heads
today to obtain the $258, 900
lacking.
Commissioner Hazen's plan,
backed by Commissioner George
e. Allen, calls for the 1-cent
gasoline tax increase so that jobs
in the highway department may
be provided for employables on
the relief rolls. Commissioner
Hazen has stated that he is op-
posed to a dole, but believes
there should be a job for every
one who wants to work.

HEARING
} Other Defendants
Insist on Change
of Venue

ROCKVILLE, Md, March 81.
Twenty-Five men selected for jury
duty in Montgomery county dur
ing the spring term of court will
be ordered today to report for duty
tomorrow morning when Ernest
Myers, one Of the defendants
charged with the murder of Allen
B. Wilson, October %, 1884, will
go on trial.
Originally set for trial yeSter-
day, the jurors and witnesses were
ordered to cancel their notices to
appear in court, when counsel for
the three defendants filed petit
tions for removal to another juriS-
diction.
In a surprise move, Myers ap-
peared in court yesterday morning
and, over his counsel's protest, pc
titioned Chief Judge Hammond
Urner and Associate Judges Ar
thur D. Willard and Charles w.
Woodward, who occupied the
bench, to withdraw his petition for
a removal and set the case for an
immediate trial.
Wants 1t Over With
Myers declared:
"I wish to get this over Just
as soon as possible and, If the
court feels that l can obtain a
fair and impartial trial here, I
request it be set for immediate
trial, for / am ready right now"
Judge Urner informed him that
he would have to be the Judge of
whether he felt he could obtain
fair trial in this court.
Two other defendants named
in the murder indictment, Albert
S. Sutton and Albert McDermott,
alias John "Slim" Dunn, stood by
their petitions for a change of
venue, and the court announced
that the selection of a site for the
removed trial would be an
nounced in court tomorrow morn
ing.
Although it is mandatory under
Maryland law to grant a change
of venue to any prisoner charged
with a capital offenSe, if he re-
quests it, Judge Urner pointed out
to Attorneys Thomas L. Dawson,
secretary Of State Of Maryland,
and Dorsey K. Offutt, of Wash
ington, counsel for Sutton and
Dunn, respectively, that they had
filed petitions for removal on the
other indictments against their
clients, carrying concealed weap-
ons and conSpiring to murder
Edward Mickey" Mcdonald, and
if removal is to be granted on
these indictments, they must
show cause why they feel their
clients cannot obtain a fair and
impartial trial in this court. This
must be placed in the courts
hands tomorrow morning. also,
