AIR SUPREMACY AT
STAKE IN SPAIN
By ADOLFO DA ROSA

Copyright, 1886, United Press)
LISBON, Sept. 2. (UP).-Em-
battled Spaniards struggled for
supremacy in the air today, with
aviation becoming daily a more vi
tai factor in the fratricidal war of
determination.
The government counted heav-
lily on its augmented air force to
end the stalemated, bloody land
engagements which for weeks
have taken a heavy toll of life
without decisive results.
A fleet of 20 government fight
ing planes arrived last night at
besieged Irun and San Sebastian,
on the northern coast. Deadly ar
tillery fire from rebel batteries on
Tuesday took heavy toll of cou-
rageous loyalist militiamen de-
Tending the cities and at nightfall
it was believed the rebels would
triumph by noon today. Then the
planes came, raising high hope
among the weary loyalists that
they may snatch victory from de-
feat.
Both sides attacked from the air
yesterday, with an unidentified
number of dead and injured re-
sulting.
Both Madrid, seat of the loyal.
list government, and Burgos, rebel
headquarters, heard the drone of
enemy planes yesterday. AT 1run,
near the Franco-Spanish frontier,
rebels attacked from the air in an
attempt to dislodge 10000 loyal
list militiamen in forts and en-
trenched behind barbados.
Heaviest damage apparently was
done at Burgos where lone 10y.
alst plane killed four persons and
wounded II. Rebels made no at
tempt to discount the destruction
and loss of life, and Gen. Virgllio
Cabanellas, head of the insurgent
Junta, looked at the damage done
to hospital there and said Dit-
terly:
"You can see the gorgeous
work of the Reds" ,.l
The fortunes of war decree9
that all Of the four persons killed
at Burgos were either jim or near

Plea for Freedom

This fomenting of raci a |
feeling is not serious as yet.
It would be tragic if it should
become serious.
The American Legion is a
cross section of America. 1t is
made up of men of all stocks
and creeds. But, however diff
ferent our original stock may
have been, the great war taught
us to like and respect each
other, as good soldiers and good
Americans. We are, therefore,
in a position and we have the
responsibility to oppose every
move to capitalize intolerance;
to break up the country into
hostile groups. Also, we must
insist upon the preservation
and protection of American
freedom, and above all the free
dom of expression. So long as
we have freedom of expression
and a free exchange of ideas
many of our most serious prob
lens will solve themselves.
We of the Legion must stand

Duty to Keep Peace

Thirdly, and finally, I en-
phasize our duty in preserving
peace. Those of us who were
in the service appreciate in a
way others cannot, the utter
futility of war. l need not tell
you its waste, its meaningless
cruelty. You know. The legion
has worked for years for legis-
lation to take the profit out of
war, and in the event of war to
The Washington times., 1936-09-07
Labor Responsibilities

The prodding by labor unions
in the past has frequently
awakened apathetic manage
ment to the need for improv-
ing conditions. All labor will
be in a stronger position if
it eliminates the cutthroat
competition of cheap labor in
the sweatshops. Low living
standards for some of our
people in this competitive age
are a continuing threat to the
standards Of workers in other
sections more fortunately sit
uated.
1t is to be hoped that organ
lied labor may continue in it's
part in the struggle for higher
living standards. And to be
really effective it must remain
united.
1t is our job to help keep
America safe, to keep it on the
lines of ordered progress.
Whatever our party, we have
a duty in honor of the uniform
we wore. That duty is to work
constantly for better govern
ment in our local communities,
in the State and in the United
States. AS the people of
America looked to their armies
to fight for them on the battle
fields, now, in time of peace,
they look to US to show the
