MADRID, Sept. % G.N.SD.-A
squadron of Junkers war planes
dipped low over the blazing Alca-
Ear inferno in Toledo today, drop
ping word to the suffering de-
tenders, hammered by a fresh
loyaliSt onslaught, that rescue was
less than 18 miles away.
The fighting craft then banked
away to the north to resume
low-flying "Strafing" operations
against the Madrid-ward fleeing
radicals-the type of warfare that
has proved most successful in the
rapid insurgent advance past
Santa Olalla and Maqueda, &C
counting, according to insurgent
claims, for more than 200 dead.
Early Relief Promised
The epic of the Alcazar entered
a new phase Of gallantry today
when the strongest of the three
insurgent armies streaking to-
wards Madrid on this front was
ordered to sacrifice early capture
of the capital and form an honor
column" to lift the siege on the
old Toledo fortress.
Commanded by Lieut.. Col Juan
Vague, this column moved past

Steve, Peanut Seller,
AQain Beats the Law
With White House Aid

Local police regulations came
out second best, at least tenn
porarily, when White House in
fluence" mtervened today, it ap-
peared, in the case of Steve Va
Silakos. 51-year-old peanut vendor,
who has peddled his wares for
% years at the northeast corner
of the Executive Mansion.
Last week Steve was notified
by police from the Third pre-
cinct that he was violating police
regulations and that he would
have to find new site.
While the White House peanut
vendors case was being continued
until September 80 by Judge Rob-
ert E. Mattingly in Police Court
today, it developed that through
Mrs. Roosevelt and Commissioner
George E. Allen, permission was
given to Steve to return to his
corner and continue business.
Specifically, Steve is charged
with staying in one place longer
than necessary to make a sale. -
Just what the court will do when
the case comes up again on Sep.
tember 80 is difficult to predict
Meanwhile, Stephen T. Early
the Presidents secretary, today
called up Commissioner Allen and
said that Mrs. Roosevelt, from
her sick bed, had written Mr.
Early, stating:
II would miss him (Vasila-
kOS) on this corner. Perhas we
had better let him stand at the
White House gates"

BABY IS GIVEN
$3.50 CHANCE

CHICAGO, Sept. % G.N.SD.
Baby Julian Tafel, jr., the "one
in five thousand infant" whose
mercy death" case aroused a
nationwide storm of controversy,
today was given a $3.50 chance
to live.
Although he appeared to be do
ing well, the infant refused nour-
ishment last night and this morn
ing. Alarmed, the attending
physicians injected a saline solu-
ton to wash away impurities
that threaten the little ones life.
Yesterday the baby, now six
days old, was operated upon to
correct colon malformation
which had prevented normal dis
position of body waste matters.
DR.. Morris Fishbein, of the
American Medical Association
said only one baby in five thou
sand was born with such an all
ment.
Father Gives Consent
The mother had begged that the
operation proceed. Adamant, the
father refused to give his permis-
sion, but in a dramatic last-min-
ute capitulation the father agreed
when DR.. Lewis K. Eastman, in
charge of the case, said he would
go ahead with the surgery despite
the lack of Tafe's consent.

LEAGUE DEF|ES
MUSS0L|NI

GENEVA, Sept. % G.N.SO.
Definitely challenging Premi e r
Benlto MuSSolini to withdraw Italy
from the League of Nations, the
leagues credentials committee in
a surprisingly quick move today
formally authorized the Ethiopian
delegation to take its place on the
floor of the assembly.
The sudden decision was an
nounced by Nicholas Politis, of
Greece, after a day-long session in
which the committee, after violent
discussion, failed to find a formula
for submission of the question of
Ethiopia'S status to the Hague
Court, as decided yesterday.
The action followed quickly
upon Great Britain's withdrawal
overnight from working behind
the scenes to bring about some
move which would not offend
italy, and was an abrupt chal-
lenge to Mussolini, who has de-
clared Italy cannot sit at any
table, League or other, at which
Ethiopia is represented.
According to League experts the
committees decision now blocks
even a discussion of Ethiopia's
status by the assembly.
Indicating italy is prepared to
take prompt action, the Italian
delegate to radio hearing in
Geneva, at present the only semi
official italian official in Geneva
promptly called upon Joseph
Avenol, secretary-general of the
League.
He repeatedly intended to seek
information for immediate dis
patch to Rome.
