 London, March 27.-FasciSm has heen beaten and soundly beaten in the recent parliamentary nation wide elections in Spain-that is the high spot of interest for every Am erican who has been alarmed at the gradual spread of Relationships. Everywhere in the Old World the Haves--the powerful, greedy Hayes seemed to be battling it out with the poor multitude of Have-Nots, and r.ost winning.
 No country aspiring to republican, ism has had 8 harder fight than Spain. In 1881 democracy won, King Alfonso XIII fled, republic was set |. and very radical laws were pass ed. But they were never enforced up to the hilt There was not time.
 By 1883, when the Cortes was dissolved and 8 new election de- creed, a new star had arisen on tie political horizon in the shape of smooth-shaven, pasty faced, light-eyed Gil Robles, still in his thirties and a professor of politi- cal economy at the University of Salamanca. He created the party known as Accion Popular. He proved hinsel a clever speaker and a crafty organizer. He soon became the white hope of all the dark forces of Spanish reaction.
 Hayes Backed RObleS
 The royalists who dreamed of the restoration of the monarchy, the aristocrats who hoped for the restoration of their ancient privi- leges, the great landholders who feared that their vast estates would be cut up and given to the starving peasants, the industrial ists who dreamed of short, Fascist methods with their workmen-- all these massed behind Robles and contributed to his campaign fund.
 Robles came to the new Cortes with the strongest body of parti- sans in 1t In coalition with other forces of the Right, they control- led the Cortes easily. The first Cortes had been overwhelmingly Left. Alcala Zamora had been elected President of the republic and Manuel Azana had been made Premier. Those early days of the republic had been great days for the original fighters against mon- archy. Back in December, 1880, a flaming revolutionary proclama- ton had been issued. Among its s.sners were Zamora. Azana, Ale- jandro Lerroux and Largo Cabal- lero. Lerroux, the Radical, was Minister of Foreign Affairs in 1881. Cabellero, the Socialist was Minister of Labor
 Refused Cabinet Post
 But by the time Robles had came to the front in 1883, these for mer allies were all at sizes and sev- ems. Azana and Caballero still stuck to their colors. But Lerroux had deserted to the conservatives. AS for President Zamora, he was cursed by both sides. The Azana ministry fell. Robles refused to form 8 cabinet. He preferred to hold the balance of power and dictate policies. So he put into the Premiership the 63- year-old Lerroux, of whom 1t was said he was a good republican when Spain was monarchy, @ good friend of the workers when

SWEET AND TWENTY
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER
Good Evening.

o. Mistress mine, where are you roaming? Oh, stay and hear; your true loves coming, That can sing both high and low; Trip no farther, pretty sweeting; Journeys end in lovers meeting
 Every wise mans son doth know What is love? Iris not hereafter; Present mirth hath present laughter; Whats to come is still unsurc; In delay there lies no plenty: Then come kiss me, Sweet-and- Twenty, Youths stuff will not endure.

RELIEF FUND
 LIST CLOSED; SUM RAISED
Sufficient Donated to Meet Emergency, Commit
 tee Announces

The committee appointed to col lect funds for the slide relief an- nounces that they have closed the subscription lists It has been esti- mated that, when all amounts sub scribed have been received, there will be sufficient to meet the emer- gency, H. L. Faulkner, Chairman of the committee. said today.
 The response to the appeal for funds was so general and so gen. erous that the committee announc- ed that its labors were greatly less ened.
 In addition to the very substan- tial and, in fact, almost unpre- cedented local subscriptions, several thousand dollars have been received from salmon canning companies, oil companies, tra n s portation com panies, wholesale mercantile houses, and other companies in Seattle Portland and San Francisco which are doing business in Alaska, ac- cording to the committee.
 "It is impossible to do more to- day than to express the sincere thanks of the committee in behalf of the City, generally, to all sub scribers," the committee spokesman said.
 It is estimated that there are at least 1000 subscribers. The lists are being tabulated, and all original lists, together with copy, will be on file in the City Hall, and copies will be given out for pub lication when completed.
 Members of the Relief Commit tee are H. L. Faulkner, R. E. Rob- ertson, Allen Shattuck and John w. Jones.

When using the former. the film with a sound track is made of the scene in the studio, and within 30 seconds it is developed and thread ed through the television sending machinery.
 The Marconi system picks up the scene directly through a television camera, which can be used either in the studio or outside, and broad casts it directly.
 After many months of investiga- tion both in Europe and the Unit ed States, the Selsdon committee decided to install both systems un- der similar circumstances under the direction of BEG.
 What the future holds for Brit ish television has been left for time to decide.

CREWS AGAIN AT WORK ON SLIDE; DANGER RLESSENS
Cessation of Rain Raise s Hope that No Further
 Avalances Will Result

With the cessation of rain, after November had set an unprecedent- ed mark of 25.87 inches, work was resumed this morning on clearing away the debris at the scene of the recent slide on Lower Franklin Street. Mayor l. Goldstein esti- mated 1t would take the remainder of the week to complete the work. A crew of about 20 were on the job this morning.
 While the danger of slides was not entirely passed, it was believed, authorities said, that if no further rain was experienced before a freeze-up it was probable no major slide would result. although several small earth movements occurred on the mountain side during the night, and officials and emergency or ganizations were standing ready to answer a sudden summons from the area.

AT THE STUDIO

LONDON, Dec. 1.-British tele- vision, now officially in the experi- mental stage, becomes a regular service" this month.
 Daily broadcasts of pictures with sound for experimental purposes were started October 1 by the Brit ish Broadcasting Corporation from Alexandra Palace atop a hill north of London.
 Officials declared the daily two- hour programs were designed for manufacturers and other desiring to demonstrate receiving sets the the ory being that so few sets were in private hands that longer broad casts were needless.
 Two Systems Operating
 Two systems are being used. Baird Television, Ltd, and Mar coni-EMI. Television Company, Ltd.
 Each has a separate station in the palace under the supervision of the BEG which has been quite strict in observing a neutrality of prefer ence.
 The dual system Was established by the television committee named in the House of Commons in May of 1884 with Lord Selsdon as chair man.
 The idea of dual uroadcasting was to permit free play of ideas lead ing to a more rapid development of the art.
 As far back as 1929 BEG permit ted the broadcast of low definition television but there now has been established by the Selsdon commit tee a minimum definition of 240 lines per picture with minimum frequency of 25 pictures per second.
 Results Simulate Movies
 That means the pictures must be sent in sections of at least 240 lines reproduced 25 times each sec ond, continuous process which re- suits in a final effect much like moving pictures.
 The Baird system employs 240 lines; the Marconi is sent 405 line sections.
 First public demonstrations oi high definition television was given during national radio show in Sep tember.
 The initial experimental programs in October were pronounced satis- factory by public and press. Pro- grams were picked up some 10 miles from the studio by busy Fleet Street with very little distortion despite the operation of hundreds of printing presses, telephone and telegraph wires and other electrical disturbances.
 High Price Bans Purchase
 Few sets so far have been solA to the public. and television re- ceiver in London excites as much interest as cat-whisker srystal radio set in the old days. A price range on receivers of $244 to $586 and more has restricted distribu- tion.
 Either the Baird or the Marconi sending impulses can be picked up by the receivers.
 Baird operates with moving picture film but can also send di- rectly from a spotligt studio.

Initiating Local Legislation.

Representative Palmisano of Maryland
has done well to hurry up the Commis-
sioners' report on the Juvenile Court bill
in order that hearings on this measure
may be held by his Judiciary Subcom-
mittee of the House District Committee.
Now that the bill has been favorably
recommended by the Commissioners. act
ing on Corporation Counsel Prettyman's
report and notifications of portions of
the bill. the Bureau of the Budget should
expedite its actions.
The proponents Of the bill are hopeful
for its favorable consideration by Con-
gress and enactment at this session. But
they are Immediately interested in hav-
ing the measure submitted to a public
hearing at which some of its apparently
misunderstood provisions may be debated
and the principle on which the bill is
based clarified. Considerable delay has
been experienced in getting this bill in
shape for hearings. But as the pro-
ponents of the measure were not re-
sponsible for such delay, 1t would be most
unfair to penalize them by refusing the
hearings 1t deserves.
The controversy over whether such
local measures should originate with the

Law Needed to Regulate
Engineering i'm District

40 tHe EO1toE OF J. he Star.
In view of current events in the House
District Committee, your comment on
the "whitewashed" elevator investigation
is both commendable and timely
washington has had more than its
share of avoidable accidents in public
structures. And, unlike most States, it
is without any disciplinary regulation
governing the practice of those persons
who are primarily responsible for public
catastrophes, the designing engineers
Thirty-five States now have laws IL
censing the practice of professional en-
gineering within their borders, and 10
additional States have similar acts pend
ing. In such States, as in the practice of
medicine, dentistry, or law, any profess
sional laxity or malpractice is punishable
by revocation of the license issued to the
responsible engineer. In the District
of Columbia, the situation is quite the
reverse. An investigation is held, the
incident Is termed an accident, and the
engineering quack is still allowed to run
at large and peddle his satanic wares.
Three years ago, H. r. 1920, bill for
the licensing of professional engineers,
was introduced in the House District
Committee by Mrs. Mary Norton. Sub
sequent hearings developed arguments
against such law which in the light of
past catastrophes might be classed as
asinine.
For instance, the District Commission
ers. in their negative report, claimed that
civil service examinations were sufficient
protection in the selection of engineers.
Since when did civil service hold writ
ten professional examinations for those
grades above Junior engineer And in
how many cases does the Federal Gov
ernment have supervision over private
building? And with a slashed budget
in prospect for the District, how in all
reason can the understaffed building in
spector's office be expected to satisfac-
torily examine the present volume OF
construction?
Another group, the American Institute
Of Mining and Metallurgical Engineers,
claimed that the District building code
maintained satisfactory safeguards over
life and property. In view of the
Knickerbocker Theater incident and
other similar failures, this type of argu-
ment needs no comment. To err is HUI
man; to persist in known errors is no
less than deviliSh!
Today H. r. 1883, another bill to regu-
late the practice of professional engi-
neering, has been delayed" by the sub
committee on legislation in the House
District Committee. This same commit
tee has already acted on bill to govern
the operation of beauty shops!
The ghastly specters of past catas-
trophies justify the enactment of such
progressive legislation as H. r. 1883. To
allow the recurrence of engineering fail
ures through non-regulation of profess
sional engineers and the elimination of
the charlatan would be claSsed as GRIM
inal negligence on the part of respon-
sible authorities.

make inquiry for the purpose of bringing
indictment against any person or persons
connected with this attempted fraud.
That would have been q matter quite
apart from the guilt Of Hauptmann,
which has been established by verdict
rendered in the county in which the
crime was committed and has been sus-
tanned by the highest State court and
supported by the ultimate Court of
Pardcns.
An inquiry into the circumstances In
which this cruel prolongation Of the
agony Of the condemned man should be
had, whether Hauptmann dies tonight,
as is now ordered, or Is spared by some
further move in this amazingly compli-
Gated case. But meanwhile it is as
suredly in order to suggest that the law
officers of the State should be required
to explain how they came to ignore the
first principle of jurisdiction.

Commissioners or with the chairman or
members of the House District Commit
tee brings UP an interesting point. Mr..
Palmisano seems to think the bill should
have been sent to the House by the Com
missioners for introduction, instead Of
being introduced by Mrs. Norton and
referred to the Commissioners for report.
II that Is the procedure desired, it should
be clarified and well understood by
everybody. If only the Commissioners
are to initiate local legislation. such
authority should be recognized by
statute and accompanied by creation of
new powers for the Commissioners, en-
abling them to test local sentiment in
support of such measures by referenda.
Until that is done, there can, of course,
be no complaint when the chairman of
the House District Committee exercises
traditional function Of introducing
local measures "by request" and referring
them to the Commissioners for report.
