PLEA MADE
FOR MODERN
AIR FORCES

LOS ANGELES. April 2. W.P)-An
earnest plea for new equipment and
trained men to bolster Americas OBJ
solete air force was voiced today by
Brigadier- General Henry B. Clagett.
newly-appointed commander of the
first wing OF the army air corp.
General Clagett, speaking before
the Junior chamber of commerce.
revealed that only ITO ships of ac-
tual fighting caliber are available to
protect American boundaries, while
remaining 500 planes could be
flown only as a last desperate re-
sort.
I'm Florida last September I stood
on the ground to witness a review
OF the army's air force. Several
hundred ships were to have taken
off. Well, exactly 81 planes zoomed
overhead. A few others warmed
up, but never got off the ground"
he said.
The need for new planes is ex-
cceeded only by necessity of obtain
ing trained officers.
we get reserve officers for a
short period, but the scarcity of
funds sends them into retirement

was told to take the battalion and
put it through series of massed
movements.
The soldier had arrived in Hawaii
less than five months before; never

ranks, assured and confident, and at
once proceeded to put the battalion

of assurance and aplomb that, says

Madrid Continues to Be
Center of Hard Fighting
Rebels and Loyalists Join to
Shell Capital City and
Reduce tito Ruin
REBEL ADVANCE CHECKED

This week the government bat
teries Shelled University City in the
northwestern section of Madrid, the
capital city of Spain, where Fastest
insurgents stubbornly defended their
positions.
The once beautiful campus of the
modern university in a few hours
became crater-packed no mans
land, its specious lawns and parks
the newest battlefield of the bloody
Spanish civil war which will be four
months old Wednesday.
The roar of shot, shell and bomb
rumbled over all of Madrid the first
of the week. An unestimated num-
Der of the city's war-weary popu-
lace was killed in two raids by Fas-
cist warplanes from which bombs
Streaked down into the center of the
city. Government batteries directed
a barrage against insurgent COM
munication lines across the Mama
mares river already forded by Gen
Francisco Frances advance units.
Say Advance Checked
In mid-afternoon the leaders of
Madrid's defense announced the Fas-
cist advanced into the city had been
checked. But the Fascist held their
hard-won posts within Madrid's city
limits. Into the stately buildings,
many of them newly completed, in
the university they struggled mount
ing their machine guns in protected
inches.
The Madrid government, while is
suing manifestos that the city itself
was not in immediate danger of be-
ing captured, warned that houSe-to-
house fighting might occur soon. Re-
newing their visits which killed 60
persons the night before, insurgent
warplanes confined heavy bombing.
Many persons on the streets were
killed before they could dash for
shelter.
Downtown Madrid was shaken
throughout the day by artillery fire
Tuesday and Wednesday. Windows
were shattered, showering pedestri-
ans with fragments of glass. One
bomb tore hole 80 feet in diameter
in the pavement near the famous
Prado gallery. Another hurled shrap-
ned among passersby in Hortaleza
street. Nevertheless Madrid defense
leaders said they were confidnt their
militia would hold off the Fascists
and urged the civilian population to
remain calm.

Sheriff Asks for
Early Collection
Of 1896 Taxes
1885 Tax Foreclosures Ordered
by Board of Commissioners
if Not Paid by Dec. 1

The Board of County Commission
ers turned over the 1885 tax books
to Sheriff II. M. Miller during the
past week for collection and Mr..
Miller asks that all county taxpay-
ers get in touch with him as soon as
possible and settle whatever tax
accounts they may have. The first of
the week, Mr.. Miller reported that
few ambitious citizens had already
called in his office and paid up their
taxes during the past few days. With
the improvement of the times and
the lowered tax rate that is in effect
in Ashe, he feels that early payment
should not work serious hardship
on any property owner.
This week, the commissioners are
ordering all past due taxes which
have been duly advertised and still
unsettled to be foreclosed if not paid
by December / of this year. They
are especially anxious that those
who have not yet settled do so as
soon as possible and avoid the heavy
costs that are attached to foreclos-
ures as well as the consequent loss
of property.
