and forced back.
 Artillery bombardment comes first, then airplane bombardment of the city, then the mass attack in which dynamiting experts from the shock unit and rifiemen reinforce them on each side.
 There are some 15,000 in the at- tacking force; 1000 on the rebel side. The defenders, however, are trained soldiers, well armed and in almost impregnable positions in the city while the miners and militia men find it possible to go against them only because of their deter imitation to avenge the slaughter by foreign legionnaires which resulted from their 1894 uprising.
 In the city are some 10000 civi- Hans, men and women-including wives and children of some miners themselves, subjected to the fire of the miners airplanes, artillery and dynamite bombs.
 The defenders, if they are taken, face mass slaughter, unless they can-and will-escape to the east.
 
 The miners themselves can not ex- pect quarter if the Moors, or other relief columns, reach the citl.
 The three-day attack on Oviedo makes 1t clear, in the manner in which the attacking miners are go- ing against the rebel machine guns, and the rebels short of food and water, under constant fire for nearly three. months-are holding them oil, the casualties that have been part of the price of this civil war.
 (It was estimated unoficially in Lisbon yesterday that in Il Ia weeks of war the loyalists had lost 62,OO0 killed and the rebels 76,000- l38,OOO. In the American civil war, four years, the combined northern and southern deaths in action and died of wounds was 84,594.-Ed.)

That's always cause for celebra- tion in any time when the railroad tracks longer cut through city streets, but raised above or below them . {. :.

Back to National Dog Week. Bristol recently attracted the attention of dog lovers by relating the story of ex who has been patrong of the citys police beats for over six years. Rex is cross between St. Bernard and German police and is the friend of all who know his daily habits and have become accustomed to seeing the huge animal sedatey walk his beat every day
 in the week The one day. though that he misses is Fri day. And the for that is Patronan Cornelius Connolly has that day off and is Patroan Connoys beat that Rex patrols so regularly and faith fully. The dog is owned by Funeral Director James j. Dunn of Bristol and is ten years old The story called to the famous Grand street dog of years who accompanied several of the letter carriers their beats He appeared every day at the of Grand and Bank streets ready to meet Uncle Sams riers and he rarely if missed day. He finally died, as we recall it. That wasn't so many years ago, perhaps five or ten if that many.

 With the Loyalist Miners, Oviedo, Spain, Oct. 6. (UP)-Asturias min- CTS, spurred on by bitter hatred, fought their way into Oviedo today against murderous machine gun fire.
 Opposed to them was 8 desperate rebel garrison which has held out against all their attacks since the start of the civil war.
 For the third day the miners hurled themselves against the rebel fire, seeking to penetrate to the cen- ter of the city where, in selected positions, the rebels are strongly fortified.
 The miners losses have been ter rife; those of the rebels slight. But the miners kept on, wave after wave, in successive attacks.
 Their attack, latest of scores, was the more ferocious because today is the second anniversary of their TCVOlub1O1ldGy upA AOAAASs PoAo VI "A.S general socialist-anarchist-s ist uprising of October, 1884, against right wing repression.
 They hoped to take the city today, but the chance was negligible. Yet they must take it soon or confess impotence, because strong rebel columns are almost within striking distance of the city and 5000 picked Moors from the San Sebastian zone are on the way.
 Again and again, in their latest and they hope successful-attack, the miners and the cooperating militiamen throw themselves for ward, to gain a hundred yards, ten yards, sometimes to be moved down

in every state.
 Documentary evidence submit ted by WPA evidence submitted by WPA critics indicates this tentative conclusion: that the welI-paid, non- relief jobs with WPA, as admins trators and supervisors, have usually gone to Democrats, though there are notable exceptions, such as that of Republican Victor Ridder, the administrator in the important New York post.
 Further, that there are unre- futed instances of state and local authorities attempting to restrict regular WPA jobs to men who were politically right" or trying to obtain campaign pledges and votes from them once they were on the payroll.
 Just how widespread these practices have been, despite flat declarations by the president and Administrator Hopkins against them, it is impossible to say with any precision.

New York, Oct. 7-Private polls and straw votes are the best avail able forecaste=s of election results, but this year members of both par tie3 are finding comfort in them. That's because polls fail to agree.
 Out through the states republi- can political workers are steamed up by substantial early returns from the Literary Digest poll which give Landon 8 3 to 2 lead over Roosevelt. Many democratic poli- ticians are correspondingly de- pressed.
 When they come in to cam
 paign headquarters, however, the
 smaller fry are told in each case
 to keep their shirts on. Leaders who study t-e polls closely, and constantly check them with their
 own polls and other information, are not too deeply impressed.
 If the Literary Digest results are reasonably accurate as a forecast. this poll will have demonstrated it's merit over all the others, but for various reasons tho leaders in both parties are convinced that it isn't forecasting accurately, as 1t some- times has in the past.

"GOuge" Is Halted

Pennsylvania next uncorked a scandal. Actual letters to relief clients from a county party chair man were produced, demanding contributions to the campaign fund, and limiting an end of WPA em- ployment if the donations were not forthcoming. The district WPA ad- miniStrator, however, sQuelched that one before it got very far.
 The charge has been frequent not only in Pennsylvania, but in many other states, that allotments for projects, and actual hiring of mne on WPA jobs, happened" to come just before elections.

Private Employers Kick

The question of WPA as g com- petitor with private employers in the labor market is an even more ticklish one.
 The whole history of WPA has been a series of adjustments of wage rates in an effort to fix fair ones. If too low, they cause strikes and protests as starvation wages; if too high, they cause 8 cry that private employers can not get help at wages they can af- ford to pay.
 This cry has been practically bit ter in farming regions dependent for harvest help on large supplies of transient labor for a few days or weeks work.
 Colorado beet and onion grow CTS loudly protested that workers Srefused to forsake soft WPA berths, where they work six hours 8 day, to go into the harvest fields. Even the few who show up can- not be depended on, because 1t is so easy on the WPA payroll"
 In California, where the aver age WPA wage in the farming re- gions was $44 month, growers again complained that workers could not be enticed to the har- vest fields by any pay or condi- tions which the farmers could offer.
 This. complaint has been com mon throughout agricultural re- gions, and builders and other em- ployers in cities have made the same complaint. Cost Is Vital Question
 Effo.t ts have been made to meet these frietions by cutting off WPA projects during the harvest season in certain localities, and by making 1t easy to get back on WPA If a pri- vate job soon peters out"
 The federal ' employment serv- ice has also been expanded to make 1t easier for WPA men to find regular jobs, with private em- ployers. But friction continues As to the cost, the question of whether the government revenues can stand the strain is so techni- cal that many books have already been written on the subject,
 Everyone knows the strain can- not be borne forever. All de- pendS on whether WPA rolls con- tinue to decline as workers get jobs with private industry, and whether government revenues continue to increase with rising prosperity.
 Certainly the most outspoken critic has been Gen. Hugh &. Johnson, loyal supporter of the president. Johnson, resigning as WPA administrator in New York City, called the $5,000, ,0o0-a-week WPA program "the most expen- sive kind of relief that could be devised, extravagant, wasteful, and inefficient"
 "'You must find something bet ter" cried the caustic general. flor two reasons--you can't afford this, and 1t isn't good if you could" For the present, he concluded, 1t is 8 necessary and unavoidable evil.

G. o. P. Cheered by Poll

Some republican strategists who admit that Roosevelt may have q slight edge on Landon at this time insist that the, poll is the finest type of propaganda for them and will inevitably have the effect of winning for Landon major pro- portion of the vote now believed lon the fenc:."
 The people, they say, believe in # more than tl.e politicians do.
 Democratic computers admit that may be true-but only in a small and inconsequential way, they say
 Emil Hurja, their famous prophet, has told them that poll wherein citizens are circularized by mail, al;d there's only 8 Inaxi- mum return of 15 or 20 per cent of ballots, is not as accurate as a nall poll which gets returns from 8 much larger proportion of voters in a limited area.
 His theory is that the first to re- ply in such polls are those who have a grouch and that no one can depend on a poll where the big ma jority of non-returns is an un- known quantity.
