PARIS, September 5.-The French
Metal Workers Union tonight ordered
a one-hour strike Monday to support
Communist demands for aid to the
Spanish government in the face of
the French cabinets decision to con-
tinue its neutrality policy.
A delegation of metal workers said
Socialist Premier Leon Blum told them
fatty the French government would
not lift its arms ban against Spain.
Abandonment of work for one hour
in airplane and automobile factories
of the Paris region was called by
union delegates as the forerunner
to a possible general strike if Pre-
mier Blum persists in refusing aid
to the Madrid Socialist Communist
regime.
Some observers feared the Com
munists might wreck the French Peo-
Piles Front by their demands. Usually
well-informed political sources, how
ever, saw the Communists action as
an attempt to gain a greater voice
in the Blum government (The cab
met contains no Communists)

sons said. will continue to support the
Peoples Front administration because
they fear its overthrow might bring
Conservatives into power.
A detailed program to build up the
French Army air force to match Ger
many's growing military power was
submitted to the cabinet at a three
and-one-half-hour meeting by Edouard
Daladier, minister Of national defense,
and Pierre Cot, minister Of air, usually
reliable sources said.
Included In the program, 1t was un-

Of ammunition, gas masks and other
war materials; construction Of addi-
tional frontier fortif1cations independ-
ent of the famed Maginot line along
Germany's border, and increase in the
number Of technicians attached to the
army and air force.
The cabinet, informed persons said,
approved Daladier's stand against in
creasing the term Of French conscript
military service, now two years. Ger
many recently extended its period
from one to two years.
Credits From Poland.
There were reports France soon will
give Poland extensive credits for the
purchase Of war materials in France.
Such a move, it was said, would be an
outgrowth of the exchange of visits
between Gen. Marie -Gustave Came

LABOR DAY SPURS.
POLITICAL ACTIVITY.
Maine Election Week From
Tomorrow to EnIiVen
Campaign.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.

The national political campaign
swings into new phase this week
the after-Labor day struggle. when
the line
One week from tomorrow the voters
in Maine go to the polls-not to vote
for President and Vice President, but
to elect a Governor and other State
officials United States Senator and
three members of the House. The Re-
publican campaign should pick up mo-
mentum from the results there, unless
all signs up to the present are in
correct
There still remain to be held q
number of interesting primary elec-
tions-not the least are those in
Michigan, New Hampshire, Georgia
and Massachusetts,. Party candidates
will be nominated. Final announce
ment of the plans of Senator Norris
of Nebraska are still to come. Tie
Roosevelt New Dealers are confident
he will enter the senatorial race there
as an independent candidate, with
former Representative Simmons as
his Republican and Representative
Terry Carpenter as his Democratic
opponent. New Deal Democrats have
so far sought in vain to pull Car
penter out of the race.
Primaries This Week.
The primaries slated for this week
are in Arizona. Colorado, Vermont,
Washington and Georgia. In the last,
Gov. Eugene Talmadge, who has been
q bitter critic Of the Roosevelt New
Deal, is running for the Democratic
senatorial nomination against Sena-
tor Russell, who is seeking reelection.
Other primary contests in the South
have been victories for New Deal sup
porters by large majorities. Talmadge
and Russell fight it out at the polls
on Wednesday.
The last of the nominating pri-
maries fall on September Is, in Mich
igsn, New Hampshire, Wisconsin,
Massachusetts, and New York. The
Republican primary in Michigan
holds attention principally because of
the contest between Senator James
Couzens, veteran Republican, who has
recently declared his intention of sup
porting President Roosevelt, and for
mer Gov. WILDER M. Brucker. The
Republican campaign would be in a
pretty pickle if the partys nominee
for the Senate is an active rooter for
Roosevelt. That is an end that is de-
voutly desired by New Dealers. In
the last few days the Senatorial Cam
paign Investigating Committee has
rushed Louis r. CLAWS, its chief in
vestigator, to Detroit to develop
charges that huge funds have been
collected for use In the elections there.
Republican opponents Of Couzens in
sist that this Is an eleventh-hour ef-
fort to bolster the candidacy of
Couzens. Representative Prentiss M.
Brown Is expected to be the Demo-
cratic nominee.
The New Hampshire primary will
settle the contest between Gov. H.
Styles Bridges and former Senator
George H. Moses for the Republican
senatorial nomination. It is a race
between a G. o. P. old guard man
and the Governor, who belongs to the
younger element Of the party. The
Democrats will nominate Representa-
tive Rogers to run against the victor.
Curley Expected to Win.
Gov. James M. Curley, political storm

HENDAYE, France, September s.
Fort Guadalupe, former Spanish gov
ernment stronghold, and the town of
Fuenterrabia fell tonight before Fas-
cist rebels marching VIGOROUSLY west
ward along Spain's northern coast
from captured Irun.
Pressing toward San Sebastian,
Spain's one-time Summer capital,
now held by government forces, the
insurgents took the fort and the little
coastal town with slight resistance.
Dispatches from San Sebastian said
the city may surrender without a fight
after resisting bombardments many
weeks. Popular Front forces were re-
ported split.
Retreating government militiamen
bad set fire to Fuenterrabia, deter
mined to leave their enemies only
another ruined town. 1t was there
that United States Ambassador Claude
@. Bowers made his headquarters
early in the revolt, before he quit
Spain.
Fort Guadalupe Evacuated.
Fort Guadalupe had been evacuated
when the government soldiers position
became untenable by the fan OF Irun.
Fuenterrabia apparently was defended
only slightly.
Most Of the defenders, finding them
belves surrounded by the enemy,
crossed the narrow Bidassoa River to
France or took boats to San Sebastian.
The capture of the two coastal
points frightened the insurgents con-
troll Of the possible sources of pro-
visions in Northern Spain. Conquest
OF the region, the rebels assert,
would frustrate government efforts to
bulwark the Madrid defenses by at
hacking the insurgents north Of the
capital from the rear.
With Fuenterrabia in flames, as
Yrun had been before, thousands stood
on the beach here and watched the
blaze leap high.
Peasants Watch Flames.
Spanish peasants huddled in dis
tonsolate groups on the French side
Of the border, their eyes fixed on their
homes at the outskirts of Fuenter-
fabia.
Some Of the peasants could distin-
guish their homes already aflame.
Machine gun and rifle fire was
heard from the hills behind the town
Is . rebel column drove down to
meet reinforcements advancing from
9run.
: While government snipers delayed
the advance Of the insurgents, their
comrades dashed from house to house
within Fuentherrabia and carried
away anything that might be Of value
to the enemy.
Hendaye watchers saw one group Of
government fighters enter q house.
A minute after they emerged it be-
came q mass Of flame.
A group of men drove automobiles
they had gathered from streets and
garages in Fuenterrabia to the docks
and pushed them into the sea.
Anarchists Destroying All.
Refugees who reached Hendaye by
boat said anarchists were destroying
everything"
Dozens of small craft piled between
Hendaye and the Spanish town, bring
ing Loyalist refugees and their belong
lngs into France.
A heavy rain which started at dusk
failed to quench the fires in Fuenter-
rabia.
Government militiamen, numbering
about 100, who had fled into France
when Irun fell, wached the activity at
Fuenterrabia and decided to join their
comrades.
'"They will need all the men they
can get when the rebels reach San Sc
bastian," said one. I'VE have lots of
