A Nationwide strike against Amer
ican shipping increased in intensity
today without sign Of Intervention at
Washington.
After being delayed 10 hours in New
York Harbor by the seamen's strike,
the United States delegates to the
Inter-American Peace Conference at
Buenos Aires sailed last night for
South America on the Munson liner
American Legion.
The liner, scheduled to sail at 2
pm, cleared Quarantine at 9:4s, after
riding at anchor of the Statue Of
Liberty since midafternoon. The dele
gates, headed by Secretary of State
Cordell Hull, were delayed while East
ern strikers changed their tactics from
a "sit-down, folded-arms" strike to &C.
tive picketing.
Thus. after two weeks Of spreading
strife from San Francisco to both
coasts. methods of strikers became
uniform: but the tie-up was still most
critical on the Pacific side.

Gov. Poindexter of Hawaii asked
aid for 600 travellers marooned in
Honolulu. Dwindling finances, he
said, made the situation serious" for
some of them.
Strike attempts in Boston continued
in the face of decreasing support and
defiance by loyal members of the
I. S. q. Eighteen picketers in Phila-
delphia were released when defended
in court as having been orderly.
Violence was reported on Balti-
more's water front, where II men faced
disorderly charges, and later two
others were arrested on a charge Of
beating seaman, but were dismissed.

Atlantic and Gulf Sailors Union in

The Fascists In their attacks to-
day swept aside the resistance Of the
Socialists like . heavy wind scatter

As night fell they were in control
Of the approaches to the Princesa,
Toledo, Segovia and Vallecas Bridges.
Insurgent leaders feared the So

delaying their advance.
While the center columns Of the
Fascist forces drove ahead for the
bridges, columns under Col. Handsche

through the Casa de Campo, extern

Fighting IN the wooded areas of
the former royal domain marked the
Socialists last stand in this sector OH
the right bank Of the river.
Through shifting curtain OF steel
laid down by insurgent batteries of
6-inch guns, the Socialists wavered
and fled.
They resisted only on the extreme
left and right wings, where they
counter-attacked hercely but were
quickly repulsed.
Fascist leaders said only one more
signal remained to be given and their
mechanized army would roll ahead to
take by force the Spanish capital.

From the rear the artillery fire of

Some Of the craft were insurgent

URGED
T0RE-ENACT A.A.A.
Farmers Spurn Crop Insur.
ance, Ask Roosevelt to
Defy Supreme Court.

BACKGROUND
EDer since days of Biblical history
mankind has Urestled Dith the
problem of spreading the hedpy
crops of good years ouer the de-
n1and of poor years.
Attacking the problem in the early
days OF the New Deal, the Roose-
pelt administration conceived the
A. A. A. ,uith payment OF farm
bounties for controlled production.
Snagoed on constitutional objec-
tions of the Supreme Court, this
program ,oas partly destroyed, but
in the recent campaigns both
President Roosevelt and Republican
nominee Landon proposed substi-
tutes Which would accomplish the
same obJectiue.
Anrious for immediate action,
the farmers hare come to Wash
tngton to press their demands.
Sixty farm leaders representing most
of the national farm organizations
yesterday urged President Roosevelt
to defy the Supreme Court and re-
enact most Of the crop control legis-
lation declared unconstitutional by
the court last Winter, including the
agricultural adjustment act and the
cotton and potato production con-
troll acts.
Meeting here with Secretary Of Agri-
culture Wallace, the farm leaders cast
a jaundiced eye on the crop insur-
ance proposal which President Roose-
welt and Gov. ALI M. Landon put forth
almost simultaneously during the elec-
ton campaign.
Crop insurance was all right in its
way, but 1t would fall far short of
pleasing the farmers, who, so their
spokesman said, would be satisfied
with nothing less than benefit pay
ments such as were handed out un-
der the A. A. A.
Plan to Bring Pressure.
The farm spokesmen, no less than
the leaders of organized labor, lost
no time in serving notice they would
bring strong pressure to bear on the
administration as soon as Congress
convenes in January to restore in one
form or another the benefits outlawed
by the Supreme Court. Labor leaders
made known Friday that they are
drafting a legislative program calling
for enactments assuring higher wages,
shorter hours collective bar1air1in1

AUTO FIRMS CUT
USED CAR TOTAL
Best Control in Industry's
History Seen After Sue.
CessfuI Drive.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DETROIT, June 4.-The accum ula.
tion of used cars has increased steadily
during the last decade, but the motol
car industry apparently has a better
control over the problem thus created
than it has had at any time since
the trading in Of old for new vehicle,
became part Of the merchandising
processes Of the automobile builders
AS a collateral problem of the sit.
uation developing in 1929 the usec
car figured materially in the enormous
mortality" among motor car distri.
butors.
It was at that time an almost In
surmountable difficulty because of the
great volume in which new units were
rolling of the assembly lines. Dealers
under factory pressure to handle new
units were forced to accept great
numbers Of old cars in merchandising
the new vehicles and an immediate
result was the tying up of large
amounts of capital in obsolete OF
nearly worn-out automobiles for which
there was only a moderate market.
Distributors Ruined.
While it was costly to the dealers
the situation had one salutary effect
in that it fastened many thousands
Of old models to the junk pile because
there was no market for them. At
the same time, however, it put out of
business several thousand distributors
unable to meet the pressure of high
level production and exorbitant al
lowance demands by intending pur-
chasers.
The campaign for the clearing out
OF used cars which the industry'S lead
ing producers inaugurated last year
has been unusually successful. Chev-
rolet has been particularly active in
the drive and has cleared out more
than 100000 units since it got the
movement well under way One OF
the successful policies adopted by some
units OF the industry has been to fix
a maximum number of used cars each
dealer may carry for a given period.
Cooperation Closer.
This policy. backed by the under
standing that new-car deliveries to the
dealer are contingent upon the con-
slant reduction of old-car stocks, not
only has allayed the worry created by
the accumulation Of out-moded types,
but has brought about an even closer
cooperation between producing and
distribution division of the industry.
Varying estimates have been made
regarding the number of older models
at present in dealers hands, but all
advices agree the campaign for con-
troll has been more successful than
previous movements in that direction.
With the used-car problem so mate
rally relieved the industry's executives
frankly admit that it had them seri-
ously perturbed at the time of the new
model introduction last November.

CHICAGO, June A scarcity of
lambs, live stock men said today, had
forced prices in the live market and
in the wholesale and retail lamb meat
trade to approximately the highest
levels in six years.
A severe Winter and poor pasture
conditions reduced the volume Of lambs
coming to market, they said.
Last months sheep receipts here were
the hghtest since July, 1894. and the
lightest for May IN Al years. Buyers
saw no immediate prospects of return
to normal supplies.
Department of Agriculture figures
indicated the average price in May was
$lO.50 hundredweight, compared with
$7.95 last year and $3.50 in 1882. In
1928 the May average was Sl615.
These figures also indicated whole

LONDON, June 4.-Despite inter-
mittent operations by the official con-

ulators, the quotation on the French
franc fell of in relation to the British
pound today, carrying the United
States dollar with it.
The franc closed at 1853 to the
pound and the United States dollar
closed at 503%l to the pound.
The internal situation in France,
where widespread strikes are heralding
in a Socialist government, was re-
garded by traders as responsible for
the slump.
The United States dollar opened at
5.0234 to the pound, about cents TO
the pound of from last week.
Exchange Restricted.
An effort is being made to check
the exchange of French currency for
other currencies. particularly Brit
iSh pound notes and sovereigns for
boarding purposes.
BY a "gentlemsn's" agreement be-
tween the French and British banks
a good deal of the traffic in pound
notes has been halted and a request
has been made by the Bank of Eng
land TO check the sale Of gold coins
at premium over their bullion value.
The gold coins request is said to
have been made to bullion brokers
only, and, according to the Financial
