PROGRESSIVE
FARLEY BACKS
ROOSEVELT
Declares Him Only Pro-
gressive Candidate
Who Can Win

CHICAGO, Sept. ~. (UP).-
The National Progressive confer
ence, attended by 118 liberals of
varied party delegations, late
yesterday voted endorsement of
Franklin D. Roosevelt for presi-
dent to present united front for
"the only Progressive candidate
who can be elected"
Reason for their decision was
contained in a resolution adopted
unanimously, which said:
"All reactionaries are united to
regain political power and to re-
tain economic power. Progress
sives must be united to attain the
two detectives essential to the
preservation of the American
form of government, namely in
creased production of wealth and
a fair distribution of wealth as it
is produced year by year."
The resolution declared reac-
tionaries are united behind Gov.
Alfred M. Landon of Kansas, the
Republican nominee.
Mayor ForeIio; H. La Guardia
of New York and Gov. Philip F.
La Toilette of Wisconsin joined in
sounding the keynote of the con-
ference.
The sessions of the conference
were secret, but it was learned
that at least some of the conferees
attended in fear that the Union
Party candidacy of VIM. Lemke,
North Dakota congressman, back
ed by Father Chas. E. Coughlin's
National Union for Social Justice,
may have turned some liberal sup
port away from the New Deal.
La Guardia, declaring "the stu
alton calls for political strategy of
the highest ORDER" was the first
speaker after Senator La Toilette
called the meeting to order.
Sen. Edward P. Costigan, DEM,
Colo, and Miss Grace Abbott, for
mer chief of the Federal Chill
dren's Bureau, were named hon
orary vice chairmen. Frank P.
Walsh of New York City was cho-
sen acting treasurer.

ULTIMATUM ISSUED
TO SAN SEBASTIAN
Copyright 1896 by United Press)

Copyright 1896 by United Press
GIBRALTAR, Sept. IL. (UP)
A major battle ragged near Tala-
vera today, the outcome of which
may determine the fate of Ma
drid in the bloody Spanish civil
war.
Insurgents massed 65 miles
southwest of the capital battled
loyalist militiamen defenders with
every type Of assault at their
command - aviation, artillery,
cavalry and infantry. The loyal
ist lines bent, then stiffened and
counter-attacked.
Government commanders called
for reinforcements, anticipating
they might be forced "by the in
tensity of Saturdays battle" to
retreat unless their forces were
strengthened.
Far away on the north coast of
Spain another rebel army renew
ed bombardment of besieged San
Sebastian and prepared to take it
by assault. Within San Sebastian,
anarchists and Basque nationalists
still fought among themselves for
control, thus lessening the task
before the insurgent attackers
day by day.
The insurgent provisional gov
eminent at Burgos issued an ulti-
matum last night to loyalists
holding San Sebastian, allowing
48 hours for evacuation of wo-
men and children before the sum-
mer capital of Spain is destroyed.
Casualties were heavy on the
Talavera front, with the Red
Cross busy evacuating wounded
and burying the dead, but there
was no official announcement Of
casualties.
In Madrid, the private secretary
of Premier Francisco Largo Ca
ballero exploded reports abroad
that the red government was con-
sidering a truce. He pointed out
that the Caballero government
was formed precisely not to dis
cuss a truce but to Eight the war
to victorious end, not an armis-
tice."
Reports persisted here that a
revolutionary m ov e m en- t was

ELECTRICITY FOR
MASSES HIS GOAL

WASHINGTON Sept. LIZ. =
(UP)-President Roosevelt yes
terday pledged his New Deal to
finance more public power devel-
opments if necessary to break a
"vicious circle" which he said is
keeping low-cost electricity from
the Masses.
He envisioned greater use of
electricity bringing about new
social revolution" by, the next
generation in which factories
might move out from the cities
and use workers only between 20
and so years old.
In his third major speech with
in a week, the president challeng-
ed the worlds power experts to
pay more attention to "human en-
cheering" and create "the new
world of abundance which is po-
tetnial in your command over
natural energies"
He said the fact that Electric
ity is expensive because it is not
widely used, and is not widely
used because it is expensive"
means "there is a vicious circle
that must be broken, and wise
public policy will help to break
it,"
Recalling that his admipistra-
ton has constructed Tennessee
Valley Authority dams in the
southeast, Boulder dam in the
southwest and Grand Coulee and
Bonneville in the northwest, the
president said:
"This may prove to be the force
that breaks the vicious circle to
which l have referred.
eff these are not sufficient,
the influence of additional meri-
torious projects awaiting develop
ment can be added"
The president voiced this def
mite policy in an address featur-
ing the six-day session of the third
world power conference.
First, he foresaw limiting the
industrial working age to the span
between 20 and so years; second,
he envisioned decentralization of
industry from heavily crowded
cities; third, he set out purpose
of conserving Americas natural
resources: and fourth, he recited
the need for power to rejuvenate
the great plains drouth area,

COURT CALLS
FOR BRIEF ON
Twas MOTION
Authority's Oral Efforts to
Dismiss Lawsuit Are
Cut Short

COOKEVILLE, Tenn, Sept. II.
(UP).-Argumcnts on a iva mo-
ton for dismissal Of a suit chal-
longing the authority were inter-
rupted yesterday when U. S. Dis
trict Judge John J. Gore asked
briefs on constitutionality of the
New Deal power colossus.
After a day of arguments in
which IVA attorneys asked dis
misSal of the suit on grounds IVA
is beyond jurisdiction of Tennes-
see and Tennessee federal district
courts, Judge Gore deferred deci-
sion penuding receipt of the brief
on the authority's constitutional
ity.
The test case was brought by
united front" of 10 major pri-
vate utilities. 1t is the only ma
jor test of IVA still in the courts,
since a similar suit filed in u. S.
district court at Birmingham was
dismissed.
After rebuttal arguments late
yesterday, Judge Gore posed a
hypothetical question, and asked
opposing attorneys to present
briefs. The question was:
as IVA constitutional and if
it is and some of the acts alleged
by the private utilities are uncon-
stitutional, where will the jurisdic-
ton lie?"
Judge Gore persuaded attorneys
for the authority to submit briefs
only after protests from John Lord
O'Brien, assistant IVA solicitor.
O'Brian said he hesitated to as
sumo responsibility for briefing
the point CT constitutionality on
such short notice.
After informal discussion among
the attorneys and the bench, it
was agreed that attorneys for the
private utilities will submit their
briefs next Wednesday and that
IVA will file an answer by the
following Monday.
OllO"lllA Ling VI Oii| -
and the answer, Judge Gore will
set date for resumption Of argu-
ments, he indicated.
TWAS motion for dismissal is.
based on the act by which the au-
thority was created. The author
ity's attorney claimed it was not
amenable to suit anywhere but
Alabama, and claimed that the
original defect of lack of jurisdic-
ton which applied to the suit
when it was filed in state chan
Gerry court here still obtained fol-
lowing the cases transfer into
federal courts.
Without ruling on the issue,
Judge Gore indicated that if the
act by which IVA was created is
constitutional, his court is with
out jurisdiction in the suit; should
the IVA act be unconstitutional,
however, IVA is amenable to suit
in any court, he said.

chain store Control

The Robinson-Patman chain-store bill, passed in the Senate, starts national argument Or rather brings into the open an argument that has been going on for years. This measure, expected to go through with some modification, obvi- ously aims to protect the small, inde- pendent merchant and make life harder for the chain stores and mail order houses. It operates mainly by limiting discounts for large quantity buying.
 This policy does suggest turning back toward the "horSe and buggy age," as some critics declare. Yet the distress and fear of independent merchants are real, and relief of some kind can hardly be denied them if the nation still believes in preserving small business and individual enterprise.
 There are two very interesting develop ments, however, tending to change the situation. One is the remarkable growth of cooperative buying, through which consumers seek to save themselves the retail profit. The other is the willingness of chain store corporations, possessing their own factories and distributing or- ganizations, to sell their retail stores often to the store managers-with con- tracts to continue supplying the goods. Thus they keep the branch of the busi- ness which makes them least trouble and which may be more profitable than re- tailing. Some oil companies are selling their service stations in this way.
