Father CoughLin h
 Address Last Night
CcOntinued from Page D

union party ticket on the outcome of the coming election brought forth an instantaneous response. The Constitution he alluded to as the greatest of all human docu- ments and dared any of the leaders of the other major parties to meet him in Q radio debate on the ques- sion of that before we can get rid of the concentration of wealth we must get rid of the private issuance and control of money.
 EncycIicaIs Of Pontiffs
 Father Coughlin went into detail on the encyclicals of Pope Leo XIII and Pope Plus xI and also called to the gatherings attention the oc- currence when the German priest Won Kettler was called to Rome as a result of his endorsement of the cause of the German miners. Won Kettler was not disciplined but was made a bishop by the Pope instead. He linked the 16 principles of the N. U. s. J. with those of Washing ton and Pope Leo XIII.
 Attacking Farley he told his list- eners of a recent occurrence in New York. He said that there is 8 president of 8 garment workers union in New York, one Dubinsky, who has communistic tendencies. He showed these tendencies, he said, by having $5,000 raised among the members of his organization to be sent to Spain for the murder of priests. One week later, declared Father Ccughlin, Farley had Du- binsky named presidential elector in the state of New York. A chor- us of boos, coupled with gaSpS and "Oh's" followed this revelation.
 Refers To Washington
 According to Father Coughlin, Washington was a Mason and Q Protestant had rare mental gifts as had Pope Leo. He interpreted the warning of Washington against foreign entangleInents as warning against the workings of private bankers who have regulated the world since the days of Napoleon shooting craps with loaded dice with the sign heads win, tails you lose".
 International bankers, charged Father Coughlin, are sapping the wealth of the people. He added that they are preparing another holocaust flor your sons". Joseph Daniels and his Mexican doings, Ambassador Bullitt and his work in Russia and Professot: Tugwell came under the blast of the radio priest. He then went into the financial records of the present administra- ton and then scored the MIRA and the AAA. He referred to the WPA as a chiselipg set-up not the men but the organization itself.
 Father Coughlin referred to Lan- don, the sop. presidential candi- date, as a modern capitalist and supporter of the gold standard. Tt is time to throw the presidential vote into the house of representa- tives," he Concluded.

representg the rottenest politics that have ever disgraced the continent of America. Father Coughlin also attacked Morgenthau, TugwelL Ma" Perkins, Wallace and Frank furter as those who would benefit by votes for President Roosevelt.
 Thousands See Arrival
 John L. Coppenger, state super visor of the N. U. s. J., met Father Coughlin at the New Haven rail- road station. Father Coughlin greeted Coppenger with an "Hello Jolnn'. Thousands were at the sta ton to witness the arrival of the famous radio priest. He was es- corted to the Hotel Taft where he predicted in a brief conference that the coming national election would be thrown into the house of repre- sentatives because of the number of votes that will be cast for Lemke and the rest of the union ticket.
 Father Coughlin asserted that on the basis of various primaries to date 100 members of the new Con- gress are endorsing the 16 principles of the N. U. s. J. He belittled the outcome of the Maine election inso- far as 1t affects the outcome of the national polling In November.
 Every person at Donovan field arose to his or her feet as Father Couehlin arrived at Donovan field. The cheers lasted for several min. utes. As the gathering became seated Father Coughlin joined with two entertainers in singing, over the rnicrophone, "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling. The crowd went wild" once more.
 Certain of Union Party
 Declaring that the results of the various state primaries and the out come of the Maine election had given him more certainty than ever. Father Coughlin opened his address, talking through 8 small nicrophone attached around his shoulders. He spoke from small raised platform. He did not use the stationary microphone. His de- claration that he is more certain than ever of the influence of the

Real and Alcazar De San Juan, south of Toledo, in their effort to isolate the area, and then bombed Madrid. He alleged that at Alcazar de San Juan the rebels destroyed a 5,000,0o0 gallon gasoline depot.
 Rebel reports of bombings Of Madrid persisted and there was a general rebel radio offensive in which reports of all sorts were cir- culated about the capital, apparent ly a part of their offensive in the Talavera region. Some reports were that great fires burned in the capi- tai, others that anarchists stormed the model jail and murdered nearly all political prisoners (the first time this report had been circulated for many days), and that President Manuel Azana was in serious con- dition from wounds of unspecif1ed origin or nature.
 AlcaZar BOmbarded
 Bombardment of the AlcaZar at Toledo wsa resumed and loyalists hinted that the building might. be dynamited. At San Sebastian, 1t was reported that anarchists seized con- trol of Santander, west of Bilbao, in street fight with other loyalists during the night, and controlled t..e city. Rebel ships blockaded the coast and intercepted all shipping. From Seville came @ report which threw possible light on the organ ization of the revolt. It was said that Gen. Queipo De Llano went all over Spain three times, during a period of two months, to prepare for the movement.
 At the moment, the front in the most important sector of the Tala- vera area-the front west of the Madrid highways between 15 1-2 and IS 1-2 miles long, with its north end around Esca1ona and its south ern end in the neighborhood of Ce- bolla.
 Both Sides Use Planes
 Both sides are using an increasing number of bombing and pursuit planes. As part of their attack, the rebels continue to thrust at point after point in the Guadarrama mountains north of Madrid, and loyalist troops are watchful in ex- pectation of early massing of rebel troops for an attack in force. It Is indicated that the arms situation was becoming an urgent matter un- til today. But the government su- periority in numbers continues. and with the war in its ninth week the loyalists have had time now to give some military training to their green volunteers.

Shelter for spaniards

Madrid, Sept 17-(UP)-Two thousand Spaniards are being shell tered in foreign embassies and lega.- tions in Madrid, a survey disclosed today, in an application to Europe of the right of asylum" recog- nized in South America.
 Persons directly implicated in the rebellion are not admitted, but those sheltered do include those who because of wealth, title, family connection or precious career, conslo- CT themselves in danger.
 The vast majority of refugees are in South America embassies and legations, including Christobal Colon (Christopher Columnus). heir of the duke of Veragua and descendant or the discoverer of America.
 In their sheltering of refugees, the South Americans are trying to bring to the mother country, their own right of asylum principle.
 The situation at present IS a oen- cate one in that the Spanish gov. ernment has not formally admitted It's recognition to the principle but has taken no steps to restrict It's application.

President Appeals
 ToNation For Needs
Continued from Page l,

ing of the 1ss6 mobilization for hu- man needs:
 Once more greet the representa- tives of our great annual mobiliza- ton for human needs.
 We are all heartened by clear evi- dences of returning prosperity. You are here in spite of that fact and because of that fact. Returning prosperity means that you have 8 right to expect greater assistance for your splendid work in every community. Returning prosperity means, however, that vast amount of important work which all of us had to defer during the depression years, can and must be taken up anew.
 As told you in former years, when human distress reaches the point that government assistance is necessary, government up to the limit of its local, its state and its federal resources must and does act. Happily, private organizations are now in 6 better position to accom- plish greater things than for many years past. Increase in prosperity heightens the obligation of every individual to aid in the relief of dis- tress in his or her own community.
 Appeals to Everybody
 Through you appeal to every man, woman and child in the United States for revival through out the length and breadth of the land of the spirit of charity. But revival is not the right word-for in the difficult years which passed that spirit of charity showed itself unselfishly and generously. Increase of the spirit of charity would be a better way of putting it-for I am very proud of the support of the country's welfare services of all kinds in the past seven years.
 resent and you resent, am sure, those supercilious and uncharitable sneers which from Q small element among Us have been directed against those in need and against those who were honestly seeking to help those in need.
 The cooperation given by the fed- eral government in social welfare activities extends rather than con- tacts the responsibility of private activities for local relief.
 Great Progress Made
 Since the low point of the de- pression great and substantial pro- gress has been made. The national income will soon be double what 1t was then. Nearly six million more men and women are now at work in private industry. Three mil. lion others are engaged in useful work provided or assisted by gov- ernment. Factory payrolls the first quarters of this year were more than S70,000, 900 greater each week than they were in the first quarter of 1883. Systematic and success full efforts to raise the buying power of wage earners and farmers have increased the business of merchants and brought orders to nlanufactur- CTS. Confidence has returned to the great mass of our people; con- fidence on the part of all except Q small minority who seek to profit from the preaching of fear. Difficult Program
 Personal and family insecurity that difficult problem of past years your government has undertaken at least to dissipate in part by the enactment of the social security act providing for cooperative federal and state public welfare, public as- sistance, unemployment compensa- ton and old age benefits.
 To the extent that local and state

 May Dynamite Alcazar
 Madrid, Sept. 17-(UF)-Govern- ment leaders intimated today that they might order the immediate dynamiting of the Alcazar at Tole- do, in which 1900 to 1900 rebel men, women and children are besieged in the cellars.
 Preparations for destruction Of the ancient palace-fortress were started days ago, 1t is understood. Govern ment leaders refusing to be spe- ciflc said that something interest," ing" would be announced today.
 The loyalist bomhardment of the old building, which was halted without explanation Tuesday night, was resumed yesterday. Only one tower, the skeleton of another and a piece of wall joining them re- mained standing.
 Smelling brought smoke from the ruins of the building.
 It was believed possible that If the rest of the wall fell 1t might crash through the roofs of the cellars and trap the besieged men, women and children.
 Fire from the Alcazar has become negligible. Only at night now do the rebels, persisting in their stub- born defense, creep up through the ruins to fix machine guns on loy- alist positions.

 San Sebastian, Sept. 17.-(UP.-- Anarchists seized control of San- lander, 145 miles west of San &c., bastian, in & street fight during the night, 1t was reported today. Basque nationalists and other loyalistS op- posed the anarchists without suc- cess, 1t was said. The anarchists were reported to have seized the municipal buildings and arrested many socialists including several members of parliament. Anarchists patrol the streets today, the report said, and are organizing the province of santander for defense against fu- ture rebels attack. Rebels in the San Sebastian area renewed their leis- urely advance westward this morn- ing. Moors pushed their front line on beyond Oyio, on the coast. but Q second Moorish column heading for Azpeitia, 50 miles inland, was repulsed by Basquet machine gum ners in the mountains south of Orio.
 Holy City Guarded
 BaSQueS do not want to light for Azpeitia because 1t is holy city, birthplace and sanctuary of St. Ignace, the Basquet patron saint. If the rebels succeed in approaching, it Is expected that the Basques will negotiate with the carlist volunteers on the rebel side and offer to with cav peacebly provided that carlists, not Moors, are detailed to occupy the city.

WALL, UPSON TO
 BATTLE IT OUT
(Continued from Page l.,

NNUIltl1UC0 46VA4 ' 0BS &N Mortimer Bell of Salisbury, also contender for the nomination, will throw his delegates to the support of Attorney Wall after the first ballot. The latter is predicting he will have at least 70 votes on the first ballot. Attorney Upson, while not predicting any set number of votes on the initial ballot, is hgur- ing on sufficient support to make he and Attorney Wall the main contenders for the nomination. At torney William Foord of Litchfeld who is also in the field for the g. o. D. congressional nomination was reported today as reserving comments until the session on Sat- urday. His number of delegates, while small, may be deciding factor in the final floor battle.
 Main C0ntenders
 That Town Chairman Upson and Attorney Wall will be the main contenders for the nomination is a foregone conclusion. Wall has oUIO4AB baCAAAAB 4A bAAC ASAVSAAAASAA county end of the district. On the other hand, Upson has cut into that section and Wall has done likewise in the New Haven county end of the district.
 In all 124 delegates will be seated at the district convention Saturday. This means that only 63 votes will be needed for Q majority. The claim of Attorney Wall that he will have 70 votes on the first ballot was declared erroneous today by local and other supporters of Town Chairman Upson. ...
 Fight to Finish
 T am in the fight to @ finish" Town Chairman Upson told the Democrat. T am sure that the nomination will come to Water bury" Supporters of the local man are claiming 65 votes on the first ballot for him but this estimate is also being put under close scrutiny. It was predicted today that none of the five seekers for the congress sional nomination would realize his ambition on the first ballot. The swing of votes to Upson and Wall after the first ballot is expected to solve the problem of who will repre- sent the fifth congressional district on the republican ticket in Novem- ber's election.

In remarking upon the WPA and AAA he said that he didn't blame the boys for taking 1t easy, for the system has had a great effect on Industrial people who are accustomed to doing Q days work for an honest days pay. He added that 1t was all right for the boys to do Q little cheating be- cause their ambitions are fast slipping away.
 As had been expected, President Roosevelt and his administration was taken to task, the republicans made no gain, for he strongly stressed the fact that 'LandOn is no better, or worse." Others who took terrific going over were the Morgans, and Morgentheaus, secre- taries of treasuries, and the five per cent of the population who control the wealth of the world. Won Kettler, historic bandit of Germany was recalled and mem ton was given Chancellor Adolph Hitler, to whom he referred as Won Hitler.
 Father Coughlin convinced everyone in attendance that he Is . masterful orator and although your correspondent was seated directly at his feet as he spoke from an elevation on the platform, he did not force or strain his voice, instead he purred softly into 2 microphOHie which rested on his chest. Amplifiers increased the volume to the extent that he could be heard two blocks away. As he spoke he toyed with the mike wire, holding 1t sometimes in 8 tipped V form between the thumb and Tn. dex finger of each hand while at other times he twisted 1t around his left hand index. He did not let 20 of this wire at any time during his talk.
 He referred to George Washlne. ton time and again as did he 70 Pope Plus the Eleventh. once stating that one was a Protestant and father of the United States while the other was the great leader of the Catholic church.
