The United States District
Court today was asked for the
first time to determine whether
the statute providing that chill

for registration on September 81,
and asked that superintendent Of
Schools Frank w. Ballou be re-

FORTS RESCUE
DRAMATIC
By CHRISTOPHER HOLME

TALAVERA DE LA REINA,
Spain, Sept. % G.N.SO.-Shout-
ing Viva ESpana!" and gleeful-
ly brandishing their rifles, hun
dreds of cadets burst from their
long imprisonment in the Alca-
zar when their insurgent res
cuerS entered Toledo. and imme-
diately hurled themselves into
the street fighting.
IrresiStably attacking the gov
ernment militia after their long
siege, the Alcazar garrison fought
for joy" until they saw most of
the loyalist defenders of Toledo
flee across the Tagus river
bridge leading southeastward to-
wards Guadalupe.
The Alcazar garrison's rescue
was doubly dramatic, for the
cadets repulSed a final desperate
assault by the loyaliSts at the
very moment when the insurgents
were hammering at the city's
walls.
Fearful of being robbed Of their
prey, whom they had besieged for
two months, the Madrid troops
feverishly bored a new tunnel
under the Alcazar to plant mine
that they hoped would be more
effective than the two exploded a
fortnight ago.
The arrivals Of the troops under
Gen. Juan VarelaS prevented full
execution of the reds aims. The
mine made a tremendous roar and
an entire wall of the AlcaZar
collapsed. Through the smoke and
debris the loyalists staged their
last wild attack, but they were
met with machine gun fire that
sent them into their last retreat.

go Miles From Madrid), Sept. %
G.N.SD.-The most important and
bloodiest battle of the Spanish
civil war reached tbs climax on
the borders of Toledo today with
the trend of warfare favoring
loyaliSt forces striving desperately
to block the insurgent army on its
drive to Madrid.
The first phase of the battle
occurred last night, when, after
lifting the siege of the Alcazar
and hberating the hundreds of in.
Surgents held in the fortress for
almost 10 weeks, insurgent forces
under Col. Juan Vague almost cap
tured the main bridge over the
Tagus River.
Bridge Strategic
The river flows along the west
ern side of the city like a moat,
and control of this bridge is SUI
flcient to place the entire area in
the hands of the victors.
Caught between the fire of at
tacking insurgents and machine
gunners in the ruins of the Alca.
Ear, Loyalist militiamen at first
appeared helpless, but Gen. Juan
ASensio, the redoubtable Madrid
commander, took his place among
his men and urged them forward.
Through the smoke of battle he
could be seen with a cane in his
right hand, exhorting his troops
to die rather than give way.
Insurgents RepulSed
Some miliamen had leaped into
the river, which is deep and dan.
gerous, but the generals example
heightened their morale and foot
by foot they drove the insurgents
back beyond a ravine and then
beyond a cemetery $500 yards
from the bridge.
Reinforcements for Col. Yague's
column arrived during the night
and at dawn he launched an.
other attempt to drive loyalistS
out of the city.
The besiegers of the Alcazar
became the besieged, facing an
onslaught from three different
points, but succeeded in main
tanning their positions and even
were able to counter-attack.
Artillery Duel
The loyalist companies known
as Red Lions, Eagles of Liberty
and Passion Flowers fought val.

In pronouncing sentence, the
presiding justice said the punish

Simpson was the first foreigner
