pigeons, the administration has
uncovered chiseling to the extent
of some $4,000, and convicted less
than a dozen of the so-called CHS

to be persons who augment their
starvation relief budget by earn
ing a few dollars on the side.

MADRID ATTACK

Rebels in Great Need of Re. infOrcements-
 From Mountain Nests
By REYNOLDS PACKARD

(C0pyrlghe 1US0 by UnIteu ETeebl
 Field Headquarters, spanish Northern Rebel Army, Near sego' via, July Notwithstanding has gone wrong with the schedule oi the northern rebel army. Unless it is able soon to find reinforcementa its drive on Madrid, already delay- cd, may be wholly repulsed. Gen Emilio Mola's men were doubling back somewhat today instead oil marching southward for Madrid--' which they had hoped to take yes' terday. Instead of meeting an ap. parentiy ron-existent southern rebe' column in the streets of the capital. as planned, the rebel army spent yesterday in an exchange of artil- lery fire.
 Duel Inconcluslve
 watched the duel, which was for the mountain passes leading to Madrid. It was inconclusive, which meant that the rebels failed to make progress. The result was that the rebel threat to Madrid waned. It seems necessary for the rebels to withdraw somewhat to reform their lines. Thus time has played into the governments hands. Insurgent officers have told me that If the government had more airplanes 1t could dislodge rebels entirely from the Guadarraina mountains.
 Rebels Hard Pressed
 Reports reached members of the general staff today that rebels at Oviedo, the important city on the northern coast, are being hard pressed by Q ring of determined miners and farmers, fighting under the red flag of the left wing, who have surrounded the city and ni- vited the revels to surrender or be massacred. The same situation ex- ists in the San Sebastian region farther east. There the goverIl-

 Here This Morning

State and local police climaxed a chase which led them through sev- eral sections of the city early this morning with the arrest of an al- legged white-slaver wanted for ques. tioning by New York and federal authorities.

 Sergt. MCWceney Aided
 Magliari was arrested by Sergeant Charles McWeeney and state Trooper Mayo of the Beacon Falls barracks after he had eluded police in raid on an alleged house of ill fame in Bethany and had fled to Waterbury shortly after three o'clock this morning. Believing that they had captured the New Yorker, state troopers left the house with the owner and another man and were on their way to the Beacon Falls barracks when the mistake was discovered.
 MagIlarl Had Fled
 Returning Co Bethany the troop. CTS once more entered the house and conducted . thorough search Magliari, driving Q car with New York markers, had fled, but one Of the troopers discovered Q trap door, cleverly concealed under Q carpet. Tn aTl underground chamber under the flooring three girls were found, and also taken into custody.

 Washington, July 27-(U.P) - In Q desperate effort to rescue l60 Americans in the Madrid embassy, the state department asked the Spanish government today to pro- vide them safe conduct out Of the revoit-torn republic. Eric 0. Wende- lin. third secretary in charge of the embassy, was given blanket author ity to use every means to evacuate virtually the only remaining Amer jeans in Spain. Hundreds of others had fled to Portugal, France and to ships.

 Sanguinary fighting in the noun. tains 50 miles north of Madrid and the fear that loyal troops may be hurled back into the city in confu- sion increased apprehension for safety of Americans and others crowded into the small embassy building.
