lines outside Irun today Crept
slowly forward up the heights of
Mt. Turiarte.
Rocking the entire area for miles

of Italian and German manufac-

explosives on the heart of the
city. Twelve bombs fell on the
summit of San Marcial, where the
embattIed loyalists have turned a
church into fortress.
In retaliation against the inSur-
gent raids. four government air.
planes flew over the insurgent
lines, but because of the scattered
positions of the infantry attackers,
casualties were believed to be
small.
Artillery fire of the insurgents
was concentrated on the govern

the loyalists directed their big
cannon and machine guns towards
the enemys outpostS.
AS the afternoon wore, one sec

Americas protest against the
bombing attack on the United
States destroyer Kane was de-
livered today to the Spanish for
eign office and brought promise Of
a speedy investigation and reply.
The Madrid government, it was
indicated in unofficial reports
reaching here from the Spanish
capital, will deny that the trl-
motored, low-wing plane which
dropped six bombs near the Kane
was a government ship.
The plain implication will be
left that the bombing attack was
made by an insurgent plane.
Investigation Promised
While the protest, which was
sent to both the Spanish govern
ment and the inSurgent forces,
has been delivered to Madrid au-
thorities, no word has yet been
received by the State Department
from Consul Charles A. Bay at
Seville, who was to contact the
inSurgent leader, Gen. Francisco
Fran 20.
Eric C. Wendelin, youthful
charge d'affaires of the American
embassy at Madrid. today reported
to the State Department:
'The bombing Of the Kane
has been taken up with the
Spanish foreign office and they
have promised an investigation
and reply as soon as possible"

In addressing the protest to the
two factions in the Spanish civil
war, Secretary of State Hull in
Structed Wendelin and Bay ito

from both sides as to whether the
plane making this attack was a
government or rebel plane"

SYB|L BAKER
CRITICIZED

District Playground Director
Sybil Baker was taken to task to-
day by Commissioner George E.
Allen for her recent criticism of
the "poor quality" of work per-
formed by local WPA workers as
signed to her department.
In letter, Commissioner Allen
stated:
"There are many depart
mentS of the District and Fed
eral Government which have
approved WPA projects. These
departments are most anxious
to receive WPA. labor. will
appreciate it, therefore, if you
will furnish me Immediately
with a list of WPA personnel
who are causing your depart
ment embarrassment, stating
the cause of this embarraSs-
ment, SO that steps may be
taken to remove them from the
playground department."
Commissioner Allen pointed out
that where relief labor is assigned
to a municipal department, the
department head is provided with
a form for criticism to rectify any
condition which does not meet de-
mands of the department. Such
form was incloSed in Mr.. Aliens
letter for Miss Baker to fill out.
Last week, in submitting eSti-
mates for the 1888 District budget,
Miss Baker asked for increases in
funds to provide proper Supervi-
sion of WPA workers and to over
see improvements on Fairgrounds
made through the WPA.
Regarding WPA and NYA
workers assigned to Fairgrounds,
Miss Baker said their work "is
poor in quality, the workers un-
able to carry full responsibility
and consequently heavy demands
are made upon the supervisory
staff of the department to solve
the workers problems.
Last night Miss Baker issued
a statement in which she praised
the So part-time National Youth
Administration workers assigned
to her department. This state
ment was regarded by Commits
Sioner Allen as a further criticism
of the WPA.

nacle where, at 3 o'clock (M. S.
To this afternoon, the services
will be held, attended by more Of

usual even at cabinet funerals. A
large section to the right of the
pulpit has been reserved in the
tabernacle for the officials.
Soldiers Guard Train
The Presidents arrival was I'm.
heralded by any of the display
that is the usual accompaniment
of presidential visit. Mr.. Roose-
velt had emphasized the private
character of his mission and his
wishes were respected.
The big Union Pacific station
was almost empty when his train
arrived. The train was roped off
and guarded by regular soldiers
from the Thirty-eighth Infantry.
Business in Salt Lake was vir-
tually suspended. All State Of
fices were closed and throughout
the city there was a funeral at
moSphere.
Cabinet colleagues of Secretary
Dern and ranking Army officers,
who accompanied his body home,
were named honorary pallbearerS.

The primary issue of the cam.

came to this country. He added:
"In government as in eco

Reports of booming activity and profits in the dur able goods industries presumably signify that the pres ent depression is nearing it's final stages. Economists agree that this is the normal pattern of depressions which regardless of all other factors must last until the reaWakenng of capital investments revives in turn the production of durable goods.
 Since durable goods are in the main capital goods and therefore are the tools by which society maintains and increases its capacity to produce this that economic society like can be static for very long and enjoys prosperity only when moving ahead toward better and better living standards According to theory of what depressions the alternate occurrence of booms and slumps is the of economic progress. Rooms carry toward the mllen ium of adequate living standards for all until progress literally trips on itself and must begin all again.
 The theory referred to further elaborated in the fourth and last volume of the Brookngs Institutions great study of The Distribution of Wealth and Income in Relation to Economic Progress"
 In this volume is rounded out the story of how too much capital to be accumulated during the per- iods of boom. Toward the climax, it is related this oversuppy of savings sOps over into foreign invest ments-like the efforts of American utility in the 192Os to all the unused waterpowers in Brazil into speculaton-lke the rush of funds into the stock markets in 1928 and 1929.
 Meanwhile inadequate share of national earn ngs has been made available for consumption and this has been drying up by degrees the opportunities for profitable and useful investment of capital in pro- ductive facilities. There is not enough buying power for the goods that might be produced yet prosperity not continue unless productive capacity continues to ahead Presently the accumulated burden of unemployed or Unemployed capital becomes too much for the structure of prices and interest which pros perty is balanced and the whole affair tumbles into another period of depression.
 It has taken the Brookings Institution five years to complete this study which, whatever its other merits, certainly is the most elaborate actual study of the
