MADRID BATTLE
 ABOUT ALL OVER
Rebel Leaders Claim They

RY MICHAEL McEWEN

Limited Press Staff Correspondent)
 Gibraltar, Oct. 19.-(UP).-Span- ish nationalists leaders asserted to- day that the battle of Madrid was all but over and that they would enter the capital when they liked.
 As they jubilantly laid claim to victory, Madrid massed thousands of its green militiamen at the final defense lines on the highways ra- diating northwest, west, southwest and south from Madrid.
 Admittedly their situation was desperate. me militiamen promised that this time they would stanc fast. Yet they had said the o"nt thing before, and had founf
 selves unable to withstand rifice barrage of airplanes and ar- tillery, and the following-up charges of foreign legionnaires and wild Moorish cavalrymen.
 Withdrew Claim
 Nationalists withdrew previous ly broadcast assertion that they hae cut the railroad from Madrid to ths east coast. But the government fear ed an attack might be made on it. successfully-at any time. They con. centrated not on any outlying DO ssfions but on Madrid itself.
 South of the capital, on the To. ledo highway, the loyalists massed a Torrejon where only IA miles soutt of the city limits, and were but g few miles from the great Ketafe air port and big army barracks area
 Madrid would not admit the cap' ture of Oviedo by the nationalists announced Saturday night. Btu na- tioralist sources told circumstantia stories of the relief of the insurgent garrison besieged there since Ju!y 1T and important-prepraec to send thousands of men from thf Oviedo area to reinforce the armies investing Madrid.

GRACE METHODIST

Rev. Alison J. Smith, pastor of the Grace Methodist church of Water ville,. in speaking before a congrega- tion at the South Federated church last night, pointed out the evils of share cropping in the south today. He stated that no federal investiga- tion was made into the situation of violence in the name of patriotism, because of consistent political inter- vention.
 As member of study group, Mir. Smith visited the south last year and interviewed members of the Southern Tenant Farmers un- ion, therefore he is well versed in conditions there.
 MT. Smith told of the wages of 50 and 75 cents day which were received by the croppers until they struck and finally succeeded in ob- taining a dollar and upwards. The increased wage necessitates a F hour day.
 The Rust brothers refuaal to sell the rights of the patent for their cotton picking machine was the act of social-minded persons, he said, for the sale would put most of the share croppers out of work. The brothers lease their machines, on the condition the planters abide by certain minimum wage regulations and sanitary working conditions.

ApSSD local democratic organization in Cleveland, his home town.
 George White, Ohio governor four years ago, is apparently out of politics, and Alfalfa Bill" Mur. ray lives quietly on his farm near 1dabel, Okla, a quiet contrast to the days when he was raising more ruckuS than, livestock.
 Jim "Hanf Lewis and Harry Byrd are active in the senate, the former defending, the latter attack ing, the New Deal. Seabury has not figured in recent political news, and Garner will undoubtedly be chosen again to run with Roosevelt aS vice. presidential candidate.
 Time and chance have dealt vari- ously with others who were prom inent in that democratic conven. ton of four years ago.
 Both Louis Howe, trusted friend and adviser to Roosevelt, and Huey Long, who helped nominate F. D. R. only to become Q savage op- ponent late, are dead. Tom Walsh, the doughty Montana lawyer who was slated to become attorney-gen. eral, died even before the admins tration took offlce. So did Tony Cer- mak, Chicago's martylred mayor. Norman Mack and John Cohn, pulp lisher-supporters of F. D. R. also are dead.
 Jouett Shouse and John Raskob, former democratic party "angels," |" are now lending their support to the American Liberty League, which has engineered the most vitrolic at- tacks on Roosevelt,s New Deal.
 John w. Davis, democratic presi- dential candidate in 1924, has been lending his great legal talents to various suits against New Deal laws. James M. Cox, the former Ohio gov- ernor who bore the party standard in 1920, appears to have retired from active party councils.
 Governor Ely of Massachusetts, however, has flatly announced that f. the party platform does not fol- low supreme court decisions against New Deal laws, he will follow Al Smith in taking Q walk" from the convention hall and aligning him. self with the republicans.
