MADRID, March 14.-Spanish police
arrested 200 Fascists today, including
members Of the Executive Committee
Of the Spanish Fascist organization, as
they sought the leaders of rioters who
burned church buildings in downtown
Madrid yesterday.
Heading the list of persons taken
into custody was Jose Antonio Primo
De Rivera, son of the late dictator and
leader Of the Fascist party
De Rivera and the committee men,
bers were held on the charge OF failing
to furnish authorities with a list OF
names and addresses of members OF
their party.
AS the police drive to prevent recur-
renee Of the disturbances was launched
two churches were in ruins and the
building Of the Monarchist newspaper
La Nacion, was destroyed.
Famous Crucifix Destroyed.
All except the small chapel of the
Church of st. Ignacio had been burned
The small chapel of st. Luis also es-
capped, but the famous crucifix OF
Christ of the Faith, greatly venerated
by Catholics, had been destroyed.
Armed guards patrolled the streets
throughout the Spanish capital and
cordons were thrown around all
churches. public buildings and news
papers.
Authorities disclosed that one guard
was fatally injured in yesterdays riots
and two flremen had been injured in
fighting the blaze at the Church of St
Luis.
Police headquarters was jammed
with political prisoners, including DR.
Jose Maria Albinana, Monarchist
deputy.
Members Of the government denied
the popular front was responsible for
the events Of yesterday, cllmaxed by
one new death and the burning of re-
ligious buildings in Madrid.
The government knows the compo-
sition of those groups. which under
| the pretext of celebrating jubilant
manifestations are provoking disorders
and attacks on buildings and persons,
said an Official statement
These groups are being maneuvered
by agents provocateurs. They do not
belong to the popular front. ="
| All forces of assault and security
guards and civil guards doing service
in the streets have been ordered to
give the closest vigilance to churches
and converts"
Two Churches in Ruins.
Madrid was quiet today, but all
churches, public buildings and news
papers were patrolled- by assault
guards. Two churches and a convent
were smouldering ruins and the inte-
rior of a Monarchist newspaper was
wrecked as a result of yesterdays
wild scenes.
A cabinet member said the govern
ment did not consider it necessary tc
declare state of war because the
government has enough forces tt
maintain order at all times"
He added:
The government is completely pre-.
pared so the agitating elements canno
continue their work.
Authorities, he said, would preven
assemblages of more than 20 persons
because the agitators take advantage
of congregations Of persons to caus,
disagreeable incidents"

What's What
Behind News
il, Capital
Wisconsin Has Hagood
Case of Its Own in
Glenn Frank Fight.
BY PAUL MALLON.

BY PAUL MALLON.
n n ADISON, Wis, March IA
MI Hotter than the Hagood case
V out here in the La Toilette
' country is the celebrated
case of Glenn Frank.
All that has emerged on 1t so far
has come through a keyhole, but
those who have been able to get
near the keyhole have observed that
Washington is not the only locality
in which political temperatures are
rising.
What happened was this:
Frank, the nationally knoDn
president OF the University OF
Wisconsin, made speech last
Lincoln day to a gathering OF
Nep York Republicans. He said
some ankind things about the NeD
Deal. About a Ueek ago he iOas
privately informed by a member
OF the Board OF Regents OF his
university that the official ar i0Gs
about to tall on him. The objec-
tionS to him included the charge
that he had been making too
many speeches.
Now, Frank is not the kind Of uni
versity president to stand around and
let an ak descend on him without
resentment. Apparently he had heard
the stories that all the other insiders
around town heard, namely, that Gov.
Phil La Toilette, the progressive and
unofficial ally of President Roose-
welt, had prepared the guillotine for
him.
Evening star., 1936-03-14

1t Is apparently true tnat La FOL-
lette had appointed five new regents
lately who share his lack Of regard
for Frank. 1t is also apparently true
that three OF these regents saw Gov.
La Toilette lately and got the idea
that the State House would not be
draped in mourning if the regents
decided to part company with the ma
tionally known president of the uni
versity.
To meet this situation, Frank went
before his Board of Regents with sword
in hand.
Makes a Real Speech.
This meeting was secret, but those
who sat in on it heard an extensive
statement from Frank. He con-
fessed he was Republican, proved
that he had not participated in party
politics. He said suggestion had
been presented to him that he try
to get the presidential delegates from
this State, also that he prepare him.
self to be keynoter Of the Republican
National Convention. He declined both
suggestions. He pointed to the growth
Of the university under IL years Of
his management, showed that he had
made only 1877 speeches In IL years,
which is record even Nicholas Muir
ray Butler cannot tie. Most impor-
tant, he suggested that another
force" outside the university was be-
hind the movement against him. No
further description was needed to
identify Gov. La Toilette.
That spoiled the guillotining, for the
time being at least.
What the situation has boiled down
to now is this:
The press reaction against Guber-
Material interference In the dd-
r1inistr1tion of the university has
been Dery strong 1t Is doubtful
that Gou. La Toilette mill choose
to force the issue. The whole
matter may be delayed until after
the election merit year, Dhen Frank
tCiH probably retire of his oUn
Dolition to accept some OF the
offers Which hare been made.
Another result of the inner clash
has been the expansion o. Frank as
national political figure. He has not
been prominently identified with either
the organized liberal or conservative
movements during the last few years.
He looks and acts like an alert mid
dle-aged business man and is a bril-
liant speaker. Some of the folks out
here consider him the best speaker
in the country today, and they have
heard Roosevelt, Borah and Al Smith.
Students Resent Politics.
The students like him and seem to
resent what they believe be politi-
cal interference in the management
Of the school.
OF course the La Fallotte people do
not agree that politics enters into the
matter at all. While no open move
against Frank has been made by
them they privately criticize the tech
nical management of the university.
The big question is whether
Frank tDould be haping much less
trouble noU it his speeches had
been less critical of the New Deal.
Few political doubts about Wiscon-
sin exist among the most trustworthy
non-partisan prophets.
The Republican delegation to the
next convention is expected to be
just about all Borah. The Demo-
cratic delegation will surely be all
Roosevelt.

CeNfFNFaFA lfeNF ANat ASt
there were 34,939 persons employed
in the WPA administrative branch
on Aug. 81. His figures did not in
clude the cost of the central office
in Washington. With these added.
he said, the total for administration
would amount to As per cent.
Earlier reports based on treasury
statements for the fiscal year end
ing June 80, had placed administra-
tive costs at 4.S7 per cent for that
period.
Hopkins Explains Decrease
Hopkins said the reason for the
decrease was that in the early
months of the program administra-
tive costs were higher because Of
greater expenses in getting the work
under way. Administrative expenses
for August exclusively, he said, were
3.4 per cent.
The greatest administrative cost
in dollars, the administrator said,
was in New York City, where $780,
149 was paid in directing a WPA
program costing 1863, ,4O1,S 1877. but
the percentage-2.7-was the lowest
listed in the tabulatiOn. Hopkins
explained that since the work was
concentrated in a relatively small
area the cost of administration
naturally was smaller.
Efforts to reach BanksOn T. Hol-
comb, Delaware WPA administrator,
