IRON QUILL" LINKED TO COMMUNIST PARTY IN DISSEMINATING
 INFORMATION

October 13, 1886
 Waterbury, Conn. Editor of the Democrat.
 The communistic propaganda in- itiated in this city months ago by the Communist Party of Waterbury with letters periodically sent to "The American and to "The Demo- crat" has for the last few weeks enriched itself with the additions of one "Iron Quill" The work follow ing the communistic fashion is equally divided: While the Commur1- ist Party endeavors to persuade the workers that their interests are best defended by the communists Iron Quill" addressed himself to the young intellectualS and to the pro- fessional class in general. One thing is common to both writers: it is the ingenuity with which they believe to be able to deceive their readers.
 The Communist Party of Water bury is now intent at creating a friendly atmosphere around his circle by hypocritically presenting himself for an authentic defender of religious freedom.
 The Communists defender of reli- gious freedom! Do not believe it? We'll, ask something about it of the people of Russia and of Spain.
 "Iron Quill" in the other end is boasting of the magnetic per- sonality of Earl Browder, their presidential candidate, and of the professionals and intellectuals that are in the political arena on the communistic side. And 1t, as a natural sequel of the wild form Of propaganda with which the Com munism is presented for the Twentieth Century AmericaniSm," :" he is counting the Farmer Labor Party with the hardly hidden hope of forming Popular Front Party like that, that brought the Com- munist in power in France and in Spain.
 Spain is already proved what IS the cost of having communists in the government; France is on the brink of receiving the same lesson, and the United States will not sail its national ship among the "isms" of some of the European nations. If the Republicans and Demo- cratic parties will be sided, in 1940, with potential third party. Iron Quill" can be sure that it will have nothing to do with any communis- tic principle.
 Because the people of the United States have intelligence and sense enough to envolve their political parties in a way to meet the new trend of life and of social justice independently of what is happening in other countries.

with open handns, as these ot- ficial figures show:
 BANK CHECK transactions reported by the Federal Re- serve Bank were IS per cent greater the week ending Sep- tember 23 than a year ago.
 FREIGHT LOADINGS on railroads serving Iowa were from 10 to 25 per cent greater.
 FORTY-EIGHT per cent of Iowa life insurance companies reported sales gains during the last month.
 NEW CAR SALES were up 42.9 per cent; new furniture shipments up 70 per cent; de- partment store trade up 9.9 per cent; grocery sales up 6.6 per cent.
 This trade and income upturn is strong New Deal medicine. Democratic candidates and parti- sans are using it as their most potent vote appeal, and republi- can leaders, privately, admit that the argument is giving them much trouble

Police announced today that Jimmy
Quitiles, 25-year-old Filipino, had
confessed taking part in an at
tempted murder and robbery of an
Imperial Valley japanese farmer
last Dec. %, when one of his three
accomplices was slain.
Quitiles was arrested last night
in a Beverly Hills cafe on informa-
ton supplied by Imperial county
authorities who requested that he
be questioned. A companion, Paul

Officers said Quitiles had been
living here since he fled from the

Coordination of
Legislation

Walter Macdonald, who
recently was elected presi-
dent of the California Asso-
citation of Milk and Dairy
Inspectors, is formulating
plans to coordinate all legislation
relative to the industry by arrang-
ing a series of conferences.
Dairymen, producers, natural
milk producers, farm bureau dairy
committees, the state chamber of
commerce, distributors and pro-
cessors and health officers will
be invited to confer with the leg
islative committee of the aSSocia-
ton TO iron out differences in
what type OF legislation is desir-
able.
The meetings will be held first
in the southern and northern Sec
tons and later a big all-state con-
ference will be planned.
1T is useless for the correlated
interests to go to the legislature
with many pleas for different
types of legislature" Macdonald
said. I'VE would be fighting among

Garrison Isolated; as

MADRID, Sept. %. (UP)
Re b el troops dominate
Toledo. The greatest battle
of the civil war now turns
on Madrid. The rebels have cut
the Madrid Toledo road and ap-
parently isolated the Toledo gar
rison from the main army
A war office communique terse-
ly admitted the loss of the city
after hours OF denialS by officials.
No mention was made Of the
1900 men, women and children
who had withstood a siege of 10
weeks in the Alcazar fortress-pal-
ace. 1t was indicated that they
were free, though fighting con-
tinued in the vicinity of the AL
caZar.
Apparently, most of the loyalist
army in Toledo had made its way
out of the city along the Toledo
Madrid road, and was trying to
fight its way through to join the
main army. But the rebels seemed
to command the road few miles
to the north.
The government was attacked
at home yesterday when FascistS
made an unsuccessful attempt at
an uprising in the capital itself.
For many hours officials denied
the loss of Toledo, but the flow
of reinforcemeuts ITO the front
stopped yesterday and United
Press correspondents saw militia
men turning back, hopeless of
success.
There is no word as to the fate
of the rebel garrison in the ruins
of the Alcazar Or the loyaliSt be-
sieging force.
Again the capital was in danger
from a rebel advance and the gov
ernment was in danger of isola-
ton if the rebels, as was expected
continued their drive on to Aran-
juez, 25 miles east-northeast OF
Toledo and % miles south of Ma
drid, and cut the railway, the
capitals sole link with the east
coast
The capital continued to pre-
sent a normal aspect. LoyaliSt
leaders scott at the idea that the
rebels can reach Madrid.

the limits OF Marshfield North
Bend, Coquille, Port Orford, Gold
Beach, Langlois, Myrtle Point and
Bridge, bore results and the only
danger to the towns today was a
possible recurrence of Sundays
high winds.
Fires were still raging over TO-
600 or 10000 of forest lands and
most roads were closed. Marsh
field was cut off from the north
by burned bridges on the Oregon
coast highway and from the east
when the state highway depart
ment closed the Roseburg- -Coquille
road because of falling, burning
trees.
Cities of the two counties tele-
graphed President Roosevelt and
asked an ALLEGATION OF at least $3,-
100000 to rehabilitate Bandon,
Prosper and other fire damaged
communities. Not one home was
standing in Bandon today and 1000
persons were homeless, without
furniture, and in many instances
without sufficient clothing.
Huge trucks numbered over deb
riS-choked roads. and charred
bridges throughout Jshe night to
carry the refugees into Marshfield,
where relief headquarters was es-
tablished.
Food and water supplies appear
ed adequate at Marshfield for the
time being. Twenty four army
trucks, loaded with food, blankets
and medical supplies commander
ed at CCC camps, were en- route
from Medford. The trucks also
brought tenting facilities for 400
persons.
AS the evacuation of Bandon and
Prosper continued, state and fed
eral agencies battled 10 check the
uncontrolled blazes flaming in
nearby sectors.
ForeSters mustered more than
1000 fire fighters. Highway crews
hacked lanes along roads streWn
with smouldering logs. Fire fight
ing apparatus was rushed from
nearby communities. A coast guard
cutter and lightship awaited off
shore with supplies.
Amid scenes rivalling wartime
devastation, survivors reached black
ened ruins for missing relatives.
Seven bodies have been recover
ed. A score are missing. Twenty
five persons are injured, two blind
ed.
Officials made no attempt to es-
innate property damage, which
may run above $2,000,000 including
destroyed timber.
A swift change of wind whipped
forest blaze through Bandon ano
Prosper, trapping aged and infirm
residents. Most of those killed were
elderly.
