U. S. In No Hurry
To Recognize Franco
International News servIoe

The fall of Madrid to Gen. Fran.
cisco FRANCOIS inSurgent forces will
not bring immediate recognition
by the United States OF the BurgoS
government, it was learned today
on high authority.
With the sympathetic Fascist
governments of MuSsolini and Hit
Ter reported ready to extend swift
RECOGNITION to the Spanish inSur-
gents, it was made clear here the
American Government will pursue
an independent and deliberate
course.
So long as the loyalist govern
ment continues, no consideration
will be given by Washington to the
inSurgent claims, it was definitely
stated.
Even should the Larbo Caballero
vernmen capitulate, many
months, even years, might pass be-
fore recognition is given.
First, the United States would
have to be assured the new gov
ernment was in a position to main.
tain peace and order, to guarantee
the safety of the lives and property
of Americans, and to carry out it's
international obliga tt ons and
agreements.
There is also the matter of in
demnity for seizures of American
property during the civil war,
notably the taking over Of the Gen
eral Motors and Ford plants by
reds at Barcelona.

King Is Dinner Guest
OF Mrs. Simpson

Kings desire for complete sim.
picity and as much informality
as possible regarding not only his
private but his public life.
Thorny questions. not only Of a
constitutional nature involving
the throne and the church, but
delicate ceremonial problems con
corning the status of his future
royal consort, are being discussed,
and some have still to be settled.
But, meanwhile, King Edwards
ardent desire to marry is hasten
ing his determination to ascertain
how best to bring before his sub.
jectS the matter of his intended
marriage and the various questions
connected Herewith.
He has been in consultation
with q number Of prominent per-
sons on the question of how best
to bring before his subjects his
contemplated marriage.
It is stated on good authority
that opinion is being sounded out
in Canada, Australia, New Zea-
land and South Africa through
private emissarieS.
Until Mrs. Simpsons final d.

considered possible that any Of

Licensing Act Urged
The trend to NRA legislation
support was evinced in almost
every recommendation included in
the metal trades report-notably
in a proposal that Congress enact
a Federal licensing act. There is,
declared the report, an obvious
need for measures which will guar.
antee to the working man the
rights and privileges which were
accorded under the MIRA, and
some way must be found to accom-
pliah this result. The report con.
tinued:
"The decision of the United
States Supreme Court on the
MIRA, the Guffey act and sew.
eral other measures enacted by
Congress which were protective
of labor, makes it apparent that
a new legislative apprOachment
is essential"

'Oust Lewis Demand
Voiced At A. F. L. Meet
By EDWARD B. LOCKETT

TAMPA, Fla, Nov. II GN.SO
Old guard, craft union forces of
organized labor, opened prelimi-
nary annual sessions here today
with a militant campaign to per
manently expel John L. Lewis
committee for industrial organiza-
ton from the American Fedora
ton Of Labor.
These forces in their informal
discussions revealed an unmiStak-
able support for new legislation
to replace, at least in part, the
principles Of the invalidated ma
tional recovery act.
Peace Talk Abandoned
These two developments pro-
vided highlights ahead Of time
for a three-day meeting Of the
metal trades department of the
A. F. of L., which will itself con-
vene for its 1886 meeting next
Monday.
Gone was A. F. Of L.-C. I. o.
peace talk Of recent days as the
metal trades assembled here. It
was Armistice Day elsewhere, but
here where the craft union ranks
of the organized working man
gathered, the talk was of war
war to the last ditch with the
newly-created minionS of indus
trial unioniSm.
Metal trades sounded the war
like tocsins in their annual re.
port. This document bluntly pre-
sented the Committee for indus
trial Organization as a dangerous
element which has thrown open to
communism" the door to econo-
mic power in America and defied
all principles Of trade union demo
cratic rule.
Frey for Expulsion
And to add to this, the metal
trades department president, John
P. Frey, said:
81 think there is very little
left to do except expel the
C. 1. o. unions.
"UnfOrtunately, within the
last year the door has been
opened by the C. /. o. 1t Is inn

SAN DIEGO, Cal, Nov. II
GN.SO.-The first husband OF
Mrs. Wallis Simpson, reputed
fiancee of England's King Ed

today to praise her.
From his hospital room where
he is recovering from a broken

pany had sold 4sS,OOO,OOO kilo-
watt hours to the consumers.
This represented an increase of
45,000,000 kilowatt hours over
that sold in the same period last
year.
The statistics further revealed
that the companyS production
cost for the nine-month period of
this year totaled $1,762 900, which
was only $2,65O more than the
production cost for the same nine
months Of last year This had the
effect of showing that it cost the
company only $2,650 for the extra
45,O00,000 kilowatt hours pro-
duced.
During the nine-month period of
tbs year, the company listed an
operation cost, which includes
maintenance of SubStations, meter
ing and delivery of current to the
consumer, of $5,050,000. Boiling
down, this figure revealed that the
company was paying only 1.O1
cents to produce and deliver kilo-
watt hour of power to the con-
Sumer.
The company revealed that it Is
buying far less power from outside
sources this year than last year
and engaging more in the local
production field. The company re-
ported for the nine months of this
year it purchased s75, 900 in power
from outside sources, which repre-
SentS a decrease Of $275, 900 from

NEW FACE ON BATTLE
The fire put a new face on the
military situation. which had be-
gun to swing against the insur-
gents with the arrival of loyalist
reinforcementS and their unex-
pectedly successful defense.
Nationalist" bombs and incen.
diary explosives hurled into the
northwest section of the city
started fires in the vicinity of
the north station, whence the rail
route leads to north Spain and
France.
North station was reported
burned to the ground, with in
surgents marching across the
Manzanares River on the trail
of the fire, forging their way
into the city from the northwest.
A strong secondary Madrid line
remains in their way there. how
ever.
Fire Area Impenetrable
It is impossible to penetrate the
fire area, but from high buildings
in the center of Madrid it seems
that the fire is still moving south
eastward along the ManZanareS
River and deeper into Madrid.
Shells from artillery emplace-
mentS beyond the river screamed
at three-minute intervals into the
city, one smashing through the
glass roof of the Parliament build
ing and exploding in the press
gallery.
Grave fears were felt that fire
or shells would destroy the price
less art treasures Of Goya, Velas-
quez, Ell Greco and others in the
nearby Prado Museum.
Each hour that passes, however,
strengthens the positions of the
Madrid defenders. Arrival of a
column of reinforcementS from
Catalonia was announced today
by the war ministry. Artillery
and machine guns and rifles Of
the la test types accompanied
them.
Arms Pouring In
Arms from Catalonian and for
eign sources are pouring in every
day.
Unless the fire sweeps away the
capitals defenSeS, it seems Ma
drid is saved, at least temporarily
while the conflict settles into a
dog-fight. The loyalists are now
in a position to stage strong
counter-attacks.

to retreat in the Casa de Campo
sector just west of the city un-
der a bombing and machine gun
attack by 18 Madrid airplaneS.
Insurgents carried a position
near the Florida bridge, farther
north, but the loyalists staged a
strong counter-attack on the ma
tionalist" right flank at Villa
verde, and all the ManZanares
bridge-heads remain in loyalist
hands.

HASTE BARRED
BY president
ON NEW LAWS
"Rush" Character OF
First -Four Years
Definitely Out
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES
International News Service

Faced with a new four-year
term, and with economic condi-
tions so vastly improved, there is
no immediate necessity for emer.
gency legislation, President Roose-
velt is going to take his own
time in dealing with the multidu-
dnous array Of Governmental
problems confronting his second
Administration. He has made
this amply clear to those who
have talked with him since the
election.
His hectic first term, beginning
in the midst of an unparalleled
domestic crisis, started off on
do it now" motif. The guide
line for his second might well be
phrased whats the hurry?"
Period Of Calm
Consequently, improving bust
ness may look forward to a period
Of relative calm-at least, as COM
pared to the rush and hustle Of
the early days of the New Deal.
The President declared during
the campaign that there are still
"a Thousand things to be done"
and in his memorable speech in
Madison Square Garden he said
defiantly he had "just begun to
fight" for a number Of social and
economic objectives.
That still goeS-but now there
Is no need for haste, and in the
four years that stretch invitingly
ahead Of him he hopes to attain
those objectives by a more orderly
process than marked the hectic
emergency days Of the past four
years.
Tempo Changes
Something Of this thought was
conveyed today to newSpapermen
who directed scores Of questions at
him covering almost every phase
Of Administration policy, past,
into the present temper of his Ad-
furnished an Illuminating insight
into the present temper Of his ad-
ministration.
There is going to be no undue
haste about balancing the
budget. Business is improving,
unemployment is decreasing, Gov
ernment receipts are up, and
while the President ardently de-
Sires a balanced budget at the
earliest possible moment he isn't
going to overturn heaven and
earth to attain it. at least so
long as things are on the up
grade.
There isn't going to be any
monkeying with the tax structure
for the present, at least. Business
can proceed to make its plans
secure in the knowledge that for
the time being taxes remain "aS
Is" In any event, there will be
no increases. Any movement at
all will be either downward, or in
the direction Of adjustments to
correct ineQuities in the existing
laws.
Bureau ShakeupS
A radical shake-up is coming
in the rearrangement of Govern
ment departments and bureaus,
but there isn't going to be any
hurry about it. Mr.. Roosevelt
knows there is overlapping in
Federal functions and considerable
waste in money and effort. But
he wants to be certain Of his
ground before making changes
which he hopes will be of a per-
manent nature.
He is approaching with extreme
caution the revival Of the old

WITH THE WHITE ARMY IN
MADRID'S SUBURBS, Nov. II
G.N.S0 Machine gun and rifle
fire, artillery shells and all
bombs penetrated farther towards
the heart Of Madrid today as the
white infantry, clearing the last
difficult pockets of reds, occupied
all the right bank Of the Mama
mares.
Nevertheless the river still con-
Stitutes the principal hindrance
to white occupation of the city,
and the whites have not yet
seized the bridges in spite of re-
ports to the contrary.
Tanks Cross River
It is reported, however, that
white tanks crossed the river and
occupied the Bombilla section.
Although positions have not
changed to any important extent,
air activity has been terrific and
at one time all Madrid was yelled
in the smoke of white bombs.
One Of the most dramatic in
cidents Of the war occurred when
white anti-aircraft cannon struck
one Of the reds giant twin-mo-
tored Potez bombers square in the
rear Of the fusilage, completely
cutting away the tail.
Two men Immediately bailed out
in parachutes, but the giant bomb
er, falling like a plummet, struck
one parachute and carried it
hurtling to earth.
The moment it struck the
ground its load Of a ton or more
Of bombs exploded, pulverizing the
plane with it's four occupants who
had not had time to use their
parachutes.
Fights to the Death
Meanwhile, the sixth landed in
white territory with his parachute.
Motorcyclists sped after him, later
discovering him hiding in a
trench.
He Immediately opened fire
with a sub-machine gun, and
engaged in a shooting duel with
the whites before he was killed.
The incident occurred over AL
cocorn, and was viewed by both
the red and white armies.
Later in the day Is white
airplanes flew over and gave
Madrid's outer defenSeS their
worst bombing ever.
Protected by fighters high
above, the white formation OF
nine bombers started at the ex-
treme right of the reds position
and flew in a straight line di-
rectly overhead, loosing the most
awe-inspiring and fearful success
sion of earth-Shaking explosions.
Bombs Rock Earth
Each bomb contained a quarter
of a ton of the most modern
high explosives. GeySerS Of earth,
concrete, and sand rose hundreds
of feet into the air, and for a
time the city of Madrid, which
rises before you like the back
drop of a theater, was entirely
blacked out by dust. The earth
literally trembled with the thun-
der of detonations spaced at in
tervals of split seconds.
This bombardment was ex-
clusively directed to the red mill.
tary positions on the left bank Of
the river. But it gave a melan-
choly notion Of what could hap
pen to Madrid or any other great
city if a first-class modern air
force wishes to set out to de-
moralize or destroy it.
The white have now taken all
the red trenches on this side Of
the river, and are reducing those
IN the other side to. q condition
favorable for assault.
