Oswald Garrison Willard, edi- tor of The Nation, was in Wat erbury last evening when the reception for Colonel Frank Knox, g. o. p. vice-presidentlaI candidate, took place. He as- serted that he prefers Franklin D. Roosevelt to Governor Ali Landon for president.

Lan- don, according to Editor Willard, has nothing to offer in the way of improvement of the Roose- welt policies. He said he fore sees the birth of Fascism in the country under the program of Father Coughlin but denied there is any evidence of pro- Fascism in the New Deal pro- gram.

they may be able to see how the records of the children who were registered at the school compare with those who failed to take ad- vantage of this course.
 The facts that attendance did not drop off after the first few weeks, thing which usually happens to any kind of summer course, proves the work was pleasing to the chil- dren registered. The teachers at the school admit they had the best of the last years grammar school stu dents and such children would nat urally show more interest in school work. Nevertheless the fact re- mains that even though the chil- dren are young and normal, they gave up two days each week to att tend school and like 1t.
 The members of the teaching staff at the summer school include: John J. Laden, E. Rita McCann, Albert Dobkins, Joseph Renzoni, Mrs, Eleanor Egan and Patrick Kel- ley. Each teacher instructed the pupils in all six subjects.

headquarters in the sector west of Madrid, and killed one person. Rebel planes bombed the tiny towns of Villalba and Escorial in the Guadar- rama Mountains. It was the town proper of Escorial that was bombed, particularly the railway station - not the world famous monastery which is one of the architectural gems of the country. Evidence piled up of the terrible situation to which Spain in its extremity has come. The rebels announced that unless Irun, in the north, surrendered, 1t would be blasted from the earth. The loyalists announced that hundreds of hostages would die in any such bombardment. &
 No Pity, No Mercy
 At Barcelona in the northeast, the official newspaper organ of the powerful syndicalist labor unions de- manded angrily that the government in retaliation for alleged rebel atrocities, wage war without pity or mercy, and that all able bodied men between IS and 45 years ot age be mobjlized and forced to fight The rebels announced that 67 men had been. executed in one mass slaughter at Seville, their headquar- ters in the south. They were n1ip- CTS charged with advancing toward Seville with arms and ammunition Twelve merchant marine officers and men were on trial for their lives by rebel court martial a. Ferrol charged with "sedition". All were charged with trying to put their ships in government service.
 Death Sentence
 Nine men were executed near a cemetery by rebels at Vigo. At AL meria, loyalists sentenced to death Q rear admiral, a civil guard major, and three artillery lieutenants for treason. Seven others were sem tenced to life Imprisonment. Three officers were sentenced to death and IS to life imprisonment ir 8 mass trial at Madrid. They were mena- bers of the cavalry school garrison at Carabanchel. Robert Jones, United Press correspondent with the rebels in western Spain, reported that word had been received from the rebels holding the Alcazar pal ace at Toledo-1,3 300 men, women and children-that they intended to blow themselves up with dynamite rather than let the beseiging loyal- ists take them. s&
 SSdition Is Aboard
 Pierre Pigeaire, United Press cor respondent at Sasablanca, Morocco, reported that reports of seditions movements among the natvies of Spanish Morocco are true and that they are reaching the danger point The rebels, in making the Moors fight for them, may cause an up- rising that might drive Spain out of northern Africa. Reports from all over rebel territory official an- nouncements-indicated that the rebels are desperate for money. Al Burgos authorities have taken steps to cancel small debts and in the

 Big Crowd Present
 At Hamilton Park Colonel Knox was greeted by approximately 5000 persons. About 5000 were in seats. Others stood to listen to him. Thous- ands of those present were not re- publicans, but democrats, socialists, communists, and union party mem bers and Townsendites, all out to hear the comments of the g.o.p. nonl- inee for vice-president.
 Superintendent of Police William J. Roach and Deputy Superintend- ent Daniel J. Carson were in un1- form at the park. They personally supervised a huge staff of police msn SO as to take care of the trat- fic situation caused by the parade.

The WPA orientation school staff, headed by Patrick Kelley, an- nounced this morning that the final session will take place next Friday morning, in the form of general assembly. Miss Edna Harmon, un- der whose supervision the school hassbeen conducted during the past eight weeks, will be present to de- liver short talk to the students and an all-star spelling bee will be the feature of. the morning program. At the present time all classes are holding their own spelling contests and the winners in each class will meet Friday in the finals.
 During the past eight weeks, this idea of attempting to bridge the gap between grammar school and high school work by teaching the children study plans, elementary Latin, spelling, word usage and vocabulary building has caused quite bit of interest on the part of those interested in educational problems. The teachers at the orientation school are looking for ward to the opening of school so

 Casablanca, French Morocco, Sept. 1-(UP)-The situation in rebel held Spanish Morocco is becoming dangerous, reliable reports disclosed today. A seditious movement among natives is approaching the stage of open rebellion against the rebel leaders. Repressive measures to which the rebel authorities have re- verted have served only to increase native hostility and local caids (chiefs) have virtually refused to provide more levies of men for the rebel armies in Spain.
 Loyalists Incite Revolt
 Loyalist agitators, plentifully sup piled with lnorey and arms, are cir culating secretly among the natives melting them to revolt. The rebels have offered tte natives higher pay and better food but notwithstand- ing, voluntary enlistment has ceased and the few men the rebels are ob- taining they get only under threat of exemplary punishment or even death. One of the reasons that the rebels are having difficulty is be- cause they have not sufficient money to pay their men.
 Protest in View
 A delegation of Spanish Moroccan notables has gone to visit the Sul- tan at" Tetuan, to protest against the severity of military authorities and to demand the release of Abd el Alex Torres, leading Moslen chief, who has been sent to prison at Ceuta. Torres belongs to g lead- ing Moroccan family. His impris- onment, coming after the execution of the caid Beni Ahmed in July, has reused Moslem enmity. Fifteen hundred Arab women, wives of sol- diers sent to Spain, concentrated on rebel headquarters at Tetuar1 de- manding news of their men and de- manding the special funds promised them for food during their hus- bands absence.
 General Orgaz, commanding since General Francisco Franco went to Spain, decided to meet threat with threat. Conscious of the gravity of the situation he demanded that the pasllas and caids provide 25.00o men within eight days. His bold move failed. They ignored him.

the labor movement has lost prestige and membership in New Haven un- der Driesse11s' leadership.
 Representations
 The battle between William Green president of. the American Fedora ton of. Labor, and John L. Lewis, head of the committee for Industrial organization, will undoubtedly have its repercussions on the floor. The Central Labor Union of Waterbury has endeavored to steer clear of committing itself favoring either the Green or Lewis groups, and will strive to preserve. its neutrality at the state convention. Local leaders feel that state labor cannot afford to split into factions at this criti- cal point. ........
 James. J. Corrigan. local labor leader, today predicted the re-elec- ton of. the present slate of state officers. "The. average labor man knows how much President Shea, vice-president Donahue, Secretary Egan and the other. officers have done for him. said MT. Corrigan, land hell know where to give his support when the balloting begins. It's my personal prediction that the so-called "progressiyes' will be bad ly beaten at the convention"
 It could not be learned today whether or not. the Waterbury Gen. tral Labor. Union would meet be- fore the convention to decide its standing on vital issues, but 1t is probable that such a meeting will be held later this week.
 Bitter Fight Looms
 Bridgeport, Conn.,, Sept. 1-tUP) A bitter floor battle between "progressives" and regulars" for control of. the Connecticut Fedora tion of Labor at its annual conven- tion here next week was in pros- pect today. '..''
 Close on the heels of announce ment by Alexander Driessens, New Haven Trades Council president, that he had formed 8 progressive wing" of the federation, John J. Egan, secretary of the state group, issued assailing Driessens. '~ '
 Said Egan: .,...
 What has Driessens accomplish ed since he became leader in New Haven? Wage cuts and resolutions and a decreased memberShip-those are achievements. If that is pro- gress, I don't think that we sell 1t to a militant labor movement like the Connecticut Federation of La- bor.
 T don't think that our people wish to experiment with any more crackpots or those that have hidden motives. What labor wants in Con- necticut is honest, aggressive and intelligent leadership and that is what we have given them.
 T think the labor movement in general appreciates our efforts. We have made our position pretty clear that what we want is no division in our movement but unity and aggres- siveness coupled with intelligence.
 Driessens, in addition to opposing Egan, and Thomas J. Shea, presi- dent of the Federation, for re-elec- ton, has placed his faction against suspension of 10 committees for in- dustrial organization unions by the A. F. of L.

 ,.he report, embracing the com plete history of the night riding order in Oakland county, said that the Black Legion was formed in 1881 ill Ohio.
 Came from Ku Klux
 The report indicated the Black Legion arose as result of dissatis- faction with the Ku Klux Klan.
 .As conceived, the Black Legion was a klan with asvengeance, or ganizsd to accomplish its objective oy force and violence if necessary. It was a black klan," the report continued.
 First 200 members of the rebel order dyed their white klan robes black and as penalty the Ku kluX Klan revoked the charters of the rebel groups, the report said. The two organizations subsequently, be- came mortal enemies" and klans- men were forbidden to become af- Inflated with the new order.
 Named in Report
 Named in the report as affiliated with the Black Legion were Gordon M. MacDougall, Pontiac manager for the Michigan liquor control com mission; Lawrence F. Sebastian, chief engineer of the Pontiac state hospital and 29 employees of that institution; Prosecutor Pence, As- sistant Prosecutor Milo D. McClin- tock, five deputy sheriffs and County Drain Commissioner Earl L. Clark.
 Judge Hartrick, acting as one man grand jury, scanned city pay rolls, determined the following Pom tiac officials were members of the Black Legion:
 Other Officials
 City Treasurer George c. John- sor: Burton B. Daugherty, member of the police and fire trial board; Police Chief Charles McMillan, Captain William H. Bradburn of the Pontiac fire department, and 13 police officers and four members of the fire department.
 In addition to Chief Reynolds of the Royal Oak police, the grand jury determined that Sergeant Jo- seph M. Parker and five patrolmen were on the Black Legion roster in that city.
 Met in Secluded Spots
 The vigilante order met in store: and secluded places, the grand jury determined, clothing its identity un- der the names of Bullet Club, '"The Twenty And Club" and the Search light Club" Collectively these or ganizations sought to dominate city and county politics in 1884 and 1885 Judge Hartrick's report charged.
 Strife and discord eventually caused the downfall of the Oakland county order, the grand jury repor, said. Rival political leaders dictated contradictory policies which brought membership cleavage.
 Judge Hartrick's report praised the ofiicial efforts of most of those il named as Black Legion members. II characterized the prosecutors oftict d splendidly cooperative, adding belief that membership in the Black Legion did not disquallfy 6 member of the prosecutors stan from prose. cutting cases against the vigilan:es ,It added that mo finer police force exists than in tke city of Royal Oak, but the report at the same time ex- tended congratulations to outlying county communities which "enjoy q freedom of membership In the 4lsek Legion. 7. -,
