WAR SECRETARY
 DERN IS DEAD
CcOntinued nom Page i0

sldered the most conservative branch Of the government.
 The secretary of war came Into the cabinet from background of mining and legislative experience in Utah. He had served two terms in tho Utah legislature and two terms as governor of the state be- fore coming to Washington in loSS.
 Vigorous Westerner
 A tall, vigorous westerner, Dern came to the attention of President Roosevelt when tho chief executive, then governor of New York, attend- cd Q governors conference at Salt Lake City.
 It was under Dern's administra- ton that the army received one of It's greatest tests in quick organ ization - the task of assuming charge almost overnight of the new civilian conservation corps in early days of the Roosevelt administra- ton.
 This feat of quickly establishing camps and enrolling some 300,00O American youths within the period of Q few weeks was acclaimed as equalled only by the draft mobili. zations of World War days.
 Air Corps Met Hard Task
 Under Dern, also, the army air corps met an equally stiff task that of taking over the nations air. mail service on notice of little more than Q few hours. Death of numers ous army pilots and criticism grow. ing out of army handling of the airmail, brought thorough inveS. tigation.
 Not long after the air corps was reorganlzed and given Q new ad- ministrative set-up.
 All departments of the army were active under Dern, largely due to the broad new deal recovery pro. gram. Extensive rebuilding and re. pair of army buildings was launch. ed and army engineers took over broad flood control, harbor, river, and dam projects instituted as part of the work and recovery programs.
 He Worked Quietly
 Through these large scale devel. opments, Dern moved quietly, leav. ing military matters to the trained stan of the army and concentrat- ing on Improvements of administra- ton in his expanded department. His duties were increasingly heavy aS war department appropriations, expanded constantly during his tenure, and unfailing indication of increased war department activity.
 The war department head was one Of the least publicized of the new deal cabinet members. He sel- dom sought the spotlight and held aloof from intra-new deal conflicts which 50 often brought the names of his colleagues into the head lines.
 Born Tn Nebraska
 Dern was born in Dodge county, Nebraska, Sept, 8, 1872. Graduate of Fremont, Neb., Normal college and student ct the University of he went to Utah at the age of 22 and became Q bookkeeper with the Mercur Gold Mining and Milling company. He remained with that firm until entering the Utah legislature in 1914. He served two terms in the legislature and then two terms aS Governor, beginning in 1924,

tier, Aug. 27.--(Up)-spanish loyal- fists turned back wave after wave of attacking rebels at Irun today and after Q long morning of fighting the lines were unchanged. Loyal istS strengthened their lines by dragging field guns and trench nor. tars up to the sand-bagged machine gun emplacements in their front lines. With a din of firing from weapons of oil sorts the rebels be- gan the second day of their attack. in the Irun-San Sebastian area this morning. Tho rebel attack still was concentrated on the loyalist lines before Irun, at the frontier on the Bidassoa river. 4 red and gold roy- alist flag, planted in Q hay field, was the signal for the rebel attack. A rebel airplane circled overhead.
 Hostages Executed
 (The Paris newspaper Matin re. ported without confirmation that the loyalists ct Irun executed i've hostages in reprisal for yesterdays bombardments-ED.) Opening the attack, an advance line of rebels which is estimated to number 600, began creeping toward the loyalist lines under Q hot fire of loyalist machine guns. It was 7:46 .. m. (2:46 Q. m. EDT) when the attack was started. Honors on the first day went to the loyaiists. They main- tained their defensive positions. There were many hours of fighting yesterday. It was obvious to any. one watching that some men were killed. Ofiicial loyalist communiqueS estimated the rebel dead ct 200; the rebels said the loyalist losses were considerable" The loyalists ad- mitted to one dead and four wound- ed--revising this today to none dead and six wounded, including i've civilians. Rebels admitted less than 10 dead and 22 wounded. Certainly the losses were much lighter on both sides than the din of firing indi- cated. Reports of Hundreds" dead yesterday were exaggerated.
 Border Town Warned
 Police circulated through French border towns this morning urging women and children to stay in- doors to avoid stray bullets. It was estimated that 80,0O0 rifle and ma- chine gun bullets were fired in the fighting this morning and that less than 100 hit their marks. To their bag of two rebel tanks yesterday, caught in road holes made by dyna- mite of Asturias miners, the loyal- ists added two rebel armored trucks this morning when guns from dom- mating Fort Guadalupe put shell Into Q column of rebel trucks car- rying munitions and food.

Insist that national defense bud. gets be covered by bond issues and budgets for stabillzing the peoples livelihood be covered by increased taxation or increased revenue. But If increased revenue does not ex- ceed 200,000,000 yen, it is proper to meet all such expenditures by national bond Issues"
 More for Army
 Terauchi said the army budget would be increased by 5000 ,O00,- 900 yen over the next six years.
 But I think there is no need to worry even if the amount reaches 5000, 100000 yen"
 The navy question is complicat- cd by the necessity of reaching an independent policy for next year, when Japan will be freed of Lon treaty obligations.
 The newspaper jiji, purporting to reveal Japan's plans, said that building emphasis would be placed on submarines and destroyers, and that extreme care would be taken to keep secret the exact strength of the Japanese fleet.
 National Expansion
 Kiroku Oguchi, former Vice.inin- istcr of finance, writing in the "Economist," asserted that national defense and economic development should go hand in hand.
 Japan stands in Q hopeful stage of national expansion" he stated. We cannot deny the need of a suitable volume of armament prep- aration for her dense, but at tho same time we must admit that armament alone iS not the whole Of the national defense.
 Armament preparation will not function as an instrument of de. fenSe unless backed by the financial resources of the nation. Defense and economic resources should be encouraged, enlarged and Enain- tained ct the same time."
 Economic Missions
 Apparently fitting in with that idea, the foreign office has evolved q plan for spending 20,000,000 yen in c three-year program for trade ex- panston. The proposal contemplates dispatch of economic missions abroad and sponsoring of trips to Japan by trade enVoyS from other countries, as well a8 strengthening of permanent StafS in foreign cen- ters
 The latest trade figures show that for the first Six months of 1886 Japan exported more cotton cloth than England, the figures being 1880, ,050000 and 026,l34,000 yards respectively. Both countries export- cd ieas than in the corresponding period last year, however.
 Look to Premier
 Supporters of the present govern. ment place confidence in the pre- mierS adroitness and proved skill in placating controversial clements. He has 6 reputation also for dogged de- termination in carrying out any policy to which he is committed.
 The son of c poor Btone.cutter, Hirota never has cared for wealth or ostentation. It Is said that aS q boy he carried fiag-poleS at funeral processionS to earn money for his school equipment. It B said also also his villa in Kugenuma cost him only about Q thousand yen (S300D.
 He Is in the Btrictest sense q gov. crnment servant. having come to the top through long and meritorious career in the department of foreign affairs.

 Cleveland Counters
 Mir. Cleveland countered today by denying that the labor turnover in the industry was high, and he dc. clared that compensation cases al the local chromium plant are less than those of other local factories, and mainly result from general hazs ards. Most of the compensable in. juries at the plant, he asserted, re. suit from falls and other accidents Every preventive and safety meas. ure known is used, he said.
 Address of Dr. Kirschbaum
 The adress of pr. Kirschbaun1 that MT. Cleveland cited was deliv. cred at the l43d annual meeting o1 the Connecticut State Medical Ass sociation at New Haven In May le36. Tn that address, pr. Kirsch' baum said that ailments resulting from work in chromium-platins were easy and quick to cure. There is practically no evidence that cone tact with chromium acid solution oI spray results in any constitutional disease" he said. The local effects pr. Kirschbaum stated, are "non' serious" and do not neceSsitaN lengthy treatment. "The industrial hazard is limited in the main," he said, ito local effects of derivatives of chronic acld." The period of dis. ability for dermatatis resulting from contact, he said, Is usually from 2 to i4 days, and chrome ulcers can be treated in from seven to eight days. "The ulcers, he pointed out, come only when there are breaks in the skin.
 pr. Tairhali's claim that more than half" the men engaged in the chrome industry have nose ailments was labelled by MT. Cleveland As 6 gross exaggeration". Everything about chromium is known and thoroughly understood" he stated, and the plating process is not as hazardous as nickel-plating.
 Commercial chromium plating had its beginning i1 Waterbury, and the industry has grown rapidly since 1928 and 1927.
 Major local brass plants do much of their own chromium plating, but most of tho general work tS done at the Chromium Corporation Of America plant on Brown road. MT. Cleveland said the chromium plating presented no more occupa. I.tional hazards than other lines Of manufacturing. Whereas the indus. tries in which radium and tetraethyl were used were unable to discover for years the serious effects of those materials, the chromium -platina industry was able to learn ct once what hazards work with chromium presented and hence was able to offset them, he said.

More important than any fighting at the moment except that at Irun was the increasing certainty that if the rebels win they will be bitter enemies of the French govs ernment - Q possibility that lends little encouragement to friends ot peace because, if the loyalists win, Italy and Germany will Do enraged.
 France Ia Accused

 Pamplona, Spain, Aug. 27-tuP) Rebel plans call for the capture of the entire Trun.San Sebastian area by Saturday night and the opening of an attack on Madrid the middle of next week, 1t was learned today. Rebel leaders said they re- garded the first day of their attack on 1run Q complete fulfillment of their hopes, that the main phase of the offensive would, develop during todays fighting, that they hoped to capture the entire frontier area pos- sibly by tomorrow night but cer- tainly by Saturday night. They said 1t was necessary to complete the operation this week end because Moorish and foreign legion men sent as assault troops from the south were needed in the 0uadarrama mountains five days from today next TueSday--to start the Madrid attack on which the fate of the gov- ernment hinges.
 Careful Campaign Plan
 Discussion of the Irun attack dis- closed Q careful plan of campaign laid out by the higher rebel ofIl- cers of the northern command in consultation with those in the south. It was said that yesterdays fighting ct run was preliminary to the main attack and that the ob- 'Jective was to drive the loyalists from their fortified entrenchmerts along tho Bidassoa river-the from tier-before Irun and straighten the rebel lines. Leaders said that the field commanders had orders not to be reckless but to take every pre-. caution to prevent waste of life. It was hoped that the rebel advance guards would reach the streets of run by tonight but that they would not overexert themselves to take the whole city today because they be- lieved gradual advance meant less ] loss of life.
 Plan of Attack
 As for San Sebastian, 1t was said, the plan Is to open the attack first on Hernani, 10 miles southwest of Irun and four miles south of San Sebastian. Preparing fo rthe deci- sive stage of the fighting in the frontier area, rebel leaders during the night sent 13 tanks, two days shell supplies and 300 more Moors to the front. The Moors were shock troops. I have never seen flercer men in uniform than the Moorg and foreign iegionnaires who have passed through the northern zone. They are hard, well trained and effi- ciently armed. Though the foreign legion is made up mostly of Span- iards, 1t includes Russians, Poles Germans, Portuguese and French men.

An official rebel communique from Pamplona said that groups of loyal. lsts fighting at Irun were command. cd by French officers. General donzalo Quiepo Dc Llano. the inde- fatigable rebel radio announcer at Seville, added Mexico to the list ot rebel enemies. He said that the Mexican government was aiding the loyalists.
 Planes from England
 CasiEnir Zlembinski and Adam Szareck, Polish flyers, arrived here from rebel territory and told the United Press they delivered to the northern rebels two three-motored Fokker airplahes from Croydon, England, the airport of London.
 Tho foreign ofiice sent notes to Britain and France, clearing up several points about PortugalS ad- herence to Q neutrality pact, and prepared 6 decree banning delivery of arms to Spain.
 Airplanes played 6 more and more important part In the civil war. Communiques of both sides dc. scrihed bombing raids on cities, and the principal activity In the 0uad- arrema mountains. north of Madrid consists in longer range artillery fire and airplane bombings.
 Both Admit Starvation
 Rebels and loyalists continue to claim that persons in towns they are attacking are starving, suffer- Ing from thirst, and being attacked by disease. Rebels claim they hold the source of Madrids water supply Loyalists say that typhus has broken out at Oviedo.
 Dispatches from rebel territory said that loyalists tried" to capture segovia, northwest of Madrid, whose seizure was claimed by loyalists broadcasters. The dispatches did not say whether the effort succeeded. They dld disclose that rebels had weakened their lines in the area by sending men north to run.
