quarters in Burgos as thrust at the
heart of government power in Madrid.
Other reports placed the general,
who led in the first Fascist blow at
Melilla, Spanish Morocco, at Seville
and also in Morocco, still attempting
to land troops in Spain.
No less enthusiastic reports from
the Liberals asserted substantial vic
tories were achieved over FascistS in
hammering attacks throughout the
nation.

Backs Agreement in Principle.
Germany joined the French-spon
sored eight-power neutrality agree
ment ''in principle" but maintained
a reserved stand Russian neutrality
must be assured, the Germans said,

British ships visit every port on the
northern and eastern coasts of the

It is estimated that 1000 British
subjects already have been evacuated

will visit the Balearic Isles to pick up
any refugees desiring to leave.

Meanwhile the British and French

French proposals for non-intervention
Informed quarters indicated Portugal
favored an accord in principle, but
raised number of points hinging OIL

The German Charge d'Affaires IN
London pledged that Germany would
not send war materials to the rebels.
The Madrid government insisted the
rebels had been forced definitely on

Mrs. Daisy Lampkins, field Sec
rotary of the National Association
for the Advancement of Co,ored
People arrived here November 9Th
to begin the Chicago Branch's Fall
Membership drive which has set
a goal of 5000 members. Mrs.
Lampl1ins, as field secretary of the
association has been a successful
leader for drives throughout the
country.
DR.. A. Wherefore Williams, the
on y person who is life member
of the association in Chicago is
campaign chairman. A number of
years ago, DIR. Williams gave five
hundred dollars to the association
and thereby became life member.
DIR. Williams stated that he felt
that the goal should be 10000
members rather than 5000 when
Chicago stops to think that the
Chicago Branch has handled over
1000 cases of discrimination in the
past three years and has not to
date lost one single case. This large
volume of work has been accom-
plished through the efforts of a
comparatively few people who felt
that the fundamental citizenship
rights of Negroes in G h i 6 o
should be constantly protected.
Surrounding DR.. Williams will
be a campaign committee and a
number of teams under captains
with a definite goal. Mrs. Lampkins
and DR.. Williams call upon the
membership of the association and

in the drive to either call or write

COTTON PRICE
RANGE SMALL

NEW YORK, April is G.N.S).
The cotton market continued vir-
tually unchanged in later dealings,
with trading quiet.
The only trend in evidence was
a very slight improvement in the
old. crop months In relation to the
new crop options. Mixed Liverpool
cables and a neither bulliSh nor
bearish weather report combined
to keep the market in narrow
range.
The trade, Wall Street and the
ring were among the buyers while
the South, commission houses, and
the Continent were disposing of
the staple.
Towards noon although a slight
ly easier tone was evident in the
market, prices were still holding
within a narrow range. May was
quoted at 1872 off 2, July 1923
off /, October 1888 off 2, and De
cember 1898 off 3 points.

appeared to have run its course
and the general run Of stocks
chalked up fractional gains in
quiet dealings.
Factors aiding the recovery in
cluded the thirty-Sixth consecutive
weekly gain over q year ago in
electric power output, a favorable
Iron Age report placing operations
at So per cent, and q sharp in
crease in first quarter net reported
by Westinghouse Electric.
The latter responded to its bull

dropping fractionally at the start.
Rails, rubbers, utilities and
coppers were active features on
the upside. Both Goodrich and
Goodyear set new 1856 peaks in
the rubbers, the former on reports
q plan for paying off preferred ar
rears was nearing completion.

in rail shares, N. Y. Central,

and Ohio led the way. Pennsyl-
vania, however, was easier on the
