BLOODY BATTLE
 STARTS AT DAWN
(Continued from Page l.j

 T.he main rebel forces are still to reach the front. Everything I have seen and heard indicates that both sides expect 8 long, bloody, merci- less fight. The men who are fight- ing for the capital are making none If the flamboyant claims to early victory which go out over the wire less. They say that the fight, If they win, will be long and arduous
 Movements of both sides, and the work of digging ertrenchments that 1s going on, seems to show the na- ture of fighting which the armies xOresee.
 Will starve Madrid
 Rebel leaders make it plain that their intention, if they cannot storm Madrid, is to starve 1t. If the loy- alsst lines hold, the rebels intend to center their attack on the capi- tails arteries and try to sever it's food, water and power supplies.
 Towns along the rebel lines of ensnmunication are damned with trucks and men on the way to the front. Tank trucks are taking wa ter. Field Kitchens steam in the streets. Townspeople flee to the hills when airplanes approach. z 1t ss e strange war; after the one I have just seen in Ethiopia.

A statement released today by the state headquarters of the WPA ofii- ciasiY verifies an announcement inade in the Democrat recently that changes would be made in the Sys- tenn of certifying WPA employees. No details are given in connection with the new method which will be used, but excerpts from the most recent jss,ia of the WPA pamphlet show thrt such changes are being worked out.
 Az the federal fiscal year closed on June 90, there came an aa- announcement from MT. Hopkins concerning changes in policy for the coming year. Some are of general interest and include the establish Ynent of prevailing rates for all pro- feet workers, changes in the certi" 1ication rules 6 general tightening lib of employment standards and closer scrutiny of the ratio Of spon- sors contributions to federal funds.
 CeFtiiicatIon
 Another paragraph in connection with certification reads:
 "As to certihcation, a major change in the WPA program now allows this organization to employ any person currently on public re- lief or in need of relief" providing such persons need B certified "by an approved public agency" A work CT whose name has not heretofore appeared on relief rolls may only be certified as "in need of relief" on a standard approved by the State Ad- ministrator or the regional ofiice"
 Wage Scale
 An explanation of the changes Tn the wage rate can also be found in the following excerpt:
 prevailing rates were not arbit- rariiy set up by WPA. On the cof1- trary, it was only after a long series of consultations with employe groups, and after scrutinizing rates of state departments and private industries, that the figures were compiled.

SAVINGS BONDS SALE GROWING City Keeps Abreast With Leaders in Nation, Re-
 port Indicates

Waterbury, with Q sale value of $6e,776 for U. g. Savings bonds sold here during the past nscal year, compares well in this respect with other cities of the same population. in the United States according to announcement released today by Postmaster Charles 4. Babin.
 The sale of $50 and e2O bonds was most popular in Waterbury. The report also shows that there was almost Q l0o% increase in sale here from January to June, com. pared to the previous six months.
 Tn this city some of the veterans converted their Adjusted Service bonds into U. s. Savings bonds, as savings bonds may be made pay. able to either of two persons. The Adjusted Service bonds are payable to the veteran or to his estate only.
 Started Tn '3S
 Savings bonds were first made available on March 1, lo36. For the 10 months period from that date to the end of the year, purchases amounted to Q maturity value of 120e, 900 900 or an average daily sale for each business day for that per- iod of approximately Si,000,000, ma. turity value. Purchases from Jans uary i, 1886, to July Q, represent maturity value of 924i 000,000 or an average daily sale of approximately 1I,636, 900 for each business day, renecting c 60 per cent increase in the average daily sales for the year ie30 over io36.
 To date there have been is- sued approximately 100000 savings bonds. As the limitation of indivi- dual ownership is restricted by law to 1100D0, maturity value, issued during any calendar year, the sales have been attained only through wide distribution to inyes- tors throughout the nation.
 Illinois Leads
 For the month of May, the State of Iowa, with the sale of i,82S, ,062, maturity value, led all the other state with Illinois 6 close second. Missouri has third place and New York, fourth in the May sales.
 For the fourteen month period (from offering date March 1, 1895, to April 90, 1036) the States of He inoiS leads by 6 wide margin, fol- lowed by New York, Ohio, Missouri, Iowa and Pennsylvania in the order named.

Govt Very Confident

OOvI very COnfbuemG
 It is sufficiently confident, ap- parently, to send bombing planes to bombard rebel positions at Cadiz on the southwest coast in order to sic lence Q rebel radio station.
 Ali reports of the fighting in the duadarramas indicated that the main battle for the capital is yet to start. The rebel chieftains seem holding back their main columns, realizing the scale on which the de- ciSive engagement must be fought and awaiting the disposition of their men along c selected line of attack. But there has been fighting enough to bring sorrow to homes all over the country in 8 radius of many miles round Madrid, and enough to make 1t seem certain that no mat. ter who wins the battle, there will be weeks if not months of civil war in which men of the losing side will be hunted about in woods and caves like animals.
 Loyal Forces Gtood Firm
 Discounting the margin which spokesmen of either side naturally give their own men, reports to Madrid indicate that the govern. ment forces not only have stood firm to the present but that If any- thing they are on the offensive in their own territory, seeking to clear 1t of individual rebel groups before the main attacking army gets here. Government punitive columns con. tinue active, according to formal communiques, in positions far from the capital.
 It Is asserted that government forces are firmly in possession. for the present, of the three mountain passes which command the three roads to Madrid from the direction in which rebel column are coming. These passes are Guadarrama. on the Medina road: Navacerrada, on the Eegovia road. and Sonosierra, on the Burgos road.
 To the east, 1t is announced, gov- ernment men annihilated q group of rebels near Ouadalajara on the road to rebel-heid zaragoza. It was believed the rebels were not of the northern army, but men who es- caped when the loyalists took Gaudalajara.

A rought estimate of the work done, released ct the local WPA headquarters today, shows that 70,- 900 cubic feet of soil has been put in to date, with about T6O00 or 00,- 900 cubic feet to be transported and put in along the river bank.
 Mains Installed
 All the under drains are installed and 72O feet of the twelve inch main, about i,600 feet of sanitary sewer has been laid and some 300 feet of . twenty-four inch main carrier.
 To those persons who look for- ward eagerly to seeing the boys romp about the baseball and foot- ball fields the progress of the foun- dation of the grandStand, which will be erected as soon as all the filling is completed, gives indicas ton that the new field will be ready before they fully realize the extent of the project.
 Wall to be Erected
 There are still two mains to be started, one thirty inches and the other 30 inches in diameter. When all the filling work s completed, . wall will be constructed along the river bank. This will be the same kind of wall as the one which now lines the river along both sides Of the upper end of Riverside street. Yt was nointed out that the erecs ton of this wall will prevent any flooding of the field when the river rises above normal during the spring.

Changes In System
 Verified By WPA
Department of Welfare to Certify All Applicants; Varying Wage Scale for "Wfite Collar" Positions

ment there have been approximately no types of occupations set Up under the new program. Many of these have several classihcationS, for ex. ample: recreational leaders, who may be paid the skilled Q, B or Q rate. Then there B e variance of rate according to geographic loca- ton. To illustrate, the recreational leader in Bridgeport would receive one of the three urban rates; in Easton he would be given rating established for sefni-urban corn- munitieS, and in Prospect his would be one of the rural rates available"
 Welfare Department
 It is generally supposed that in Waterbury, the change in connec- ton with the certification will come about with the exclusion of the Connecticut State employment office as an active agent in regard to placement of men. Certiflcation will be made through the Department of Public Welfare, following the estan- lishment of q prospective workers eligibility at that same office. Place. ments will then be made by the los cal placement officer.
