MADRID, November 26.-In pour
ing rain and with the crash of an
artillery bombardment ringing in their
ears, 60 Americans left the United
States Embassy for Valencia today.
They travelled in busses and private
cars. seeking a new haven after the
, official refuge was closed by the State
Department.
It was one Of the strangest Thanks
giving days most of them had ever
spent-and certainly the strangest
Thanksgiving day dinner they ever
looked forward to.
The dinner, packed in two crates
and taken along to be eaten by the
roadside. included 60 Spanish omelets,
so slices of ham, Is loaves of bread
and so oranges.
Four Children in Party.
Just as dawn broke the caravan left
the Embassy in two buses, one bag
gage truck and three private cars.
There were four children among the
refugees.
About 4 am, the travellers were
awakened and told to get ready to
tleave. Some were up all night, pack
ing and making final preparations.
After hasty breakfast. the refugees
climbed into busses which the Spanish
government sent from Valencia last
night and which were parked in the
Embassy courtyard.
). The departure was delayed some
what by heavy firing in the neighbor-
hood of the residence of Mr.. and Mrs
Antonio Succar OF Washington, D. G.,
who had to reach the Embassy from
the Chamartin district. Eventually
they arrived safely and the caravan
drove off.
For the most part, all the native
American citizens left in Madrid are
newspaper men and a few men and
women who preferred to remain be-
cause of business or family reasons.
Embassy Plans Changed.
Last minute instructions from his
company caused Riley Williams to re-
turn to France and plans for the En-
bassy organization had to be changed.
Frank Cannaday of East Radford.
Va, took Williams place as head of
the Embassy committee.
The refugees were expected to reach
Valencia tonight where most of them
will board the United States cruiser
Raleigh and go to France.
The Embassy staff will remain in
Valencia.
All foreign members of the staff Of
the National Telephone Co. of Spain,
mostly Americans, left for Valencia
following the transfer of the Ameri-
can Embassy to that city.
Leave in Private Cars.
The group left in eight private cars
several hours after the refugees had
evacuated the United States Embassy.
The group was accompanied by
American Charge d'Affaires Eric C.
Wendelin, who had remained behind
to care for last-minute details of the
evacuation.
Among those in the caravan were
Col. Sosthenes Behn, New York finan-
cier and international communications
executive, and Fred T. Caldwell of
Ottawa, Ohio, and New York City,
managing director of the telephone
company for Spain.
Others were Omar Bagwell, Cleve-

SAN FRANCISCO, November 26.-
One obstacle to the immediate send-
ing of food ships to Alaska was re-
moved today, and peace prospects ap-
peared brighter here in another sec
ton Of the paralyzing Pacific Coast
| maritime strike.
w. H. Cannon, president Of the
Railroad Chapter of the American
Federation of Government Employees,
said at Anchorage, Alaska, today his
union, which works the piers in
| Alaska, agreed to rotation system for
the hiring of longshoremen at Seward.
He said Col o. F. Ohlson, general
manager of the Government-owned
Alaska Railroad. here to charter relief
vessels, asked the union to substitute
the rotation system for the seniority
system now in effect.
The International Longshoremen's
Association and Government EN-
ployes' Federation were at loggerheads
on these two methods of hiring, and
the I. L. A. refused to sign agreements
to man food vessels until Alaska steve.
dores agreed to the rotation system.
Coastwise freight operators and one
union group talked over peace terms
yesterday and spent Thanksgiving
| studying proposals prior to resuming
| negotiations tomorrow.
The coastwise shippers. who oper-
ate rs smaller boats and handle 10
per cent of the cargoes, had reached
tentative agreements with the ma
jority of the maritime unions Just be.
fore the strike was called October 29.
Yesterdays discussions involved the
marine cooks and stewards. They
are asking for an eight-hour day and
control of hiring, an issue which has
blocked peace meetings between
unions and the off-shore or deep sea
operators.
Rossi Encouraged.
Assistant Labor Secretary Edward
F. McGrady informed Mayor Angelo
Rossi last night the outlook for an
agreement in ,the coastwise trade is
very bright
Rossi later said he expected "a
UlCdh III IIlc uldTlJlIIle SCTlke WllQln

Resumption Of operations by the
coastwise freighters would provide an
outlet for the Pacific Northwest's
lumber industry.
Col. Ohlson scheduled a new meet
ing today with unions and hoped for
speedy agreement to man ships.
President Roosevelt authorized the
railroad to charter and operate suffi-
cient ships to assure adequate food
supplies to the territory, cut off from
normal trade by the 28-day strike.
In Honolulu. where the walkout also
has curtailed food shipments, non-
union stevedores yesterday began un-
loading cattle and poultry feed from
the strikebound liners President Hayes
and President Pierce.
Approximately 240 striking seamen

night on charges Of violating an order
