SOVIET ANGRY
OVER GRANDI
ATTACK
Question Of Quitting
Farley on Spain
Up to Moscow
BY KINGsBURY SMITH

LONDON, Oct. 10 G.N.SO.-An.
gered by the slashing attack Of
italian Ambassador Dino Grandi,
Soviet Russia is seriously consid.
ering withdrawal from the Inter.
national Committee for Noninter-
vention in Spain.
The Russians particularly resent
Grandi's use of the word black
mail" in discussing Russia's threat
to abandon Spanish neutrality un-
less Italy, Germany and Portugal
cease rendering alleged aid to the
Spanish insurgents.
Moscow to Decide
The Soviet delegates, take the
position that it is questionable
whether they can now sit at the
same table with foreign diplomat
who used such an expression be-
fore a representative Of friendly
power.
The situation is being discussed
at the Kremlin in Moscow, with a
decision expected shortly.
1t was disclosed that Samuel
Kagan, Russian charge d'affaires,
intimated yesterday he would walk
out Of further meetings If attacks
upon Moscow continued. He said:
"The Soviet government is not
interested in the old political
trick of attacking when on the
defense. Nor Is the Soviet gov
eminent interested in a political
SmOke-screen being utilized to
beclOud the real issue, which is
the supply Of war materials to
the Spanish insurgents by Italy,
Germany, and Portugal.
THE Soviet government in
Sists that If the committee Is
unable to assure strict fulfill
ment of the nOn-interventiOn
agreement, it must say so with
out further delay"
Britain Probes New Charge
Meanwhile, the British govern
ment today announced plans for
a sweeping investigation Of SPANS
charges that Italian troops parti.
cipated in execution Of a number
of Spanish citizens in the Balearic
Islands.
The examination will be made,
it was said, with view to deter
mining authenticity of the charges.
They were based upon an affidavit
by a Spaniard who said he escaped
from the islands after the Italian
troops had been landed.
British spokesman emphasized
that in placing these and other
allegations before the Non-Inter-
vention Committee the govern
ment is not taking responsibility
for their authenticity.
RULE FOR DASH FOLIO
MOSCOW, Oct. 10 G.N.s).
Moscow is determined to stand be-
hind its guns in the Spanish inter
vNntion crisis. It was impossible
TO obtain official comment on
yesterdays London meeting Of the
committee for non-intervention,
but the tone underlying newspaper
accounts Of the meeting showed
the Soviets were determined not
to yield.

that the murder Of Mrs. ASquith

Indicating that jealousy may
have motivated the killing, police
learned that since the death OF
the woman's husband, Godfrey
ASquith, a native Of Allentown,
Pa, in 1927, the widow had sought
forgetfulneSS in many gay parties,
where she became acquainted with
a score Of admirers, several Of

MADRID, Oct. 10 Q.N.S0.
This city of one million, its last
railroad reported cut off, tight
ened it's belt and douSed its lights
today for one of history's grim
NEST sieges as investing insurgent
forces thrust their deadly trident
nearer the capital.
News Of furious engagements
on half dozen far-flung fronts
reached Madrid through grapevine
channels, the most important be-
ing a claim by the insurgent radio
at Corunna that 800 red militia
men were killed in an inSurgent
bombing attach on Bilbao.
Traffic Interrupted
The flow of traffic on railroads
within the besieged Madrid sector
bears out inSurgent claims that
the railroad to Valencia through
Guadalajarta province has been &C.
cupied at SiguenZa, and the only
other outside rail link, towards
Alicante on the south, has been
broken by bombardments near
Aranjuez.
Both assertions are denied in
Madrid-but so is the capture Of
San Martin de ValdeiglesiaS. 40
miles west Of here, now an incon-
trovertible fact-and food sup
plies here do not show any signs
Of unbroken replenishment.
All that Is left to Madrid are
the highways leading to the still
loyal southeastern section Of the
country, but road transportation
has always played an important
part in SPANS communications
The government has at last ad-
mitted evacuation of children to
Mediterranean ports.
Madrid agreed that Siguenza
was invested" and had suffered
a heavy attack by air, while five
columns were making "only slow
progress towards the capital.
Curfew Rules Tight
Strict curfew regulations for the
siege were ordered effective to-
night. All public establishments
must be closed at 10 p. M, and no
body except police and officials will
be allowed on the streets after II
p. m.
limiting at fears Of a rebellion
within Madrid. the government ex-
planned these were measures taken
ito protect the loyal armies rear
The ministry Of agriculture
issued a decree today appropria-
ting the land of all persons
directly or indirectly implicated"
in the revolution.
InSurgent announcements said
their northern column reached
Navas Del Marquis, four miles be-
yond Navalperal in the direction
Of Ell EScorial. The radio at Sc
vile said Guadalajara is expected
soon to surrender to the inSur-
gents.
Gen. Queipo Llano, in a broad
cast from Seville today, said
number of government pilots had
been executed in Madrid for i'm
plication in the bombing Of Pre-
nnier Francisco Largo Caballero'S
car yesterday.

MADRID, Oct. S U.N.SD.-Ar-
rayed 100000 strong in death.
Scorning resolution, radical militia
men today turned back double
offensive as the insurgent siege
of the capital began in deadly
earnest.
Insurrectos opened their dual
attack with heavy bombardmentS
of government positions on the
Toledo-Madrid road on the south
west and Navalperal to the north
west, but were repulsed, according
to Madrid'S announcement, after
bitterly-fought engagements.
Deny Maqueda Retaken
Insurgent reports denied a
Madrid claim that Maqueda. in
the center of the long, thin right
ist lines of communication from
Talavera de la Relna, had been re-
captured. In any case, it was
pointed out, the revolutionarieS
around Toledo were not cut off
from Talavera, as another road
leads from Toledo via TorrijoS.
While thousands of women and
children poured out of Madrid
along the open highways to the
southeast after insurgent air raids
on the capitals outskirts. the rad
ical defenders hurried their defen-
sive operations and warned they
would blow up everything" be-
fore they would bow to the in
SurgentS.
A government spokesman said
the triple line of trenches now
being dug around Madrid is I'm
pregnable."
The insurgents reported over
their radios that so MadridiSts
were captured at Piedra!bes, so
miles west of Madrid, indicating
that Generals Francisco Franco
and Emilio Mola had succeeded
in uniting their northern and
southern forces at that point.
Ferocity of the fighting was out
rivaled, according to a Corunna
broadcast, by a loyalist attack at
Oviedo, which has been under
siege for more than two months.

DETROIT, Oct. 5 G.N.SD.-Dis-
covery of the body of a well-dressed

ditch at midnight Saturday night.
He said:
"She was on her knees off
the road. l stopped her and
asked her if anything was
wrong. She replied, Go on and
mind your own business
The best clue to her identity
