MAY GROW TODAY TO
HURRICANE STRENGTH

MIAMI, July 20. (UP).-The
intensified tropical storm renewed
it's threat against Florida today
and gales were expected along the
west Florida coast this afternoon
with winds possibly reaching hur-
ricane force. The storm about
noon was located rs miles west Of
Boca Grande.
MIAMI, Fla, July 20. (UP).-
A tropical disturbance with winds
of so miles an hour and puffs
much higher smashed into the low

bringing high tides, squally down.

one death but sparing the more
populous centers of the winter
playground section.
It continued across the barren,
mangrove-rooted tip Of the Flor
ida peninsula, headed for the
southeastern Gulf Of Mexico with
little prospect Of losing any
strength before it gained the open
water again.
Carysfort Reef, eight miles east
Of the Florida Keys, and Key Lar
go, the largest of the string of
keys that begin south of Miami
and stretch below the mainland
for 200 miles to Key West, were
the points known to have been
near the center of the storm.
The federal hurricane warning
system said the center Of the dis
turbance reached the mainland at
8 p. M, about 38 miles south OF
Miami
Although Miami experienced
sustained wind of III miles an
hour 1t 9:80 p. M, and there was
minor scattered damage reported,
it appeared at that hour to have
not suffered materially.
Ebert L. Freeman, 30, power
company lineman called for emer-
gency duty during the storm, was
either shocked or blown from a
pole and died shortly afterward in
a Miami hospital. Jack Russell,
9, sustained broken leg when a
small tree fell on him.
From the section of Key Largo,
where the storms center appar-
emily swept inland, came reports
of superficial surveys that reveal
ed no deaths or injuries and no
damage Of Importance.
The storm followed much the
same course as the lashing Sep
TENDER hurricane which crushed
the central Florida keys last year.
Everglades City, fishing center
in Collier county, appeared the
only west coast community near
the path of the storm should it
continue the course indicated.
Miami, which busily prepared
for the unusually-early storm,
postponed a scheduled 40th ami
versary celebration of the city's
birth to board up windows with
often-used storm shutters and
move boats to secure moorings in
protected rivers and canals.
The city looked bedraggled last
night, some lights out, but no ma
jor damage, an early survey by
United Press showed. Plate glass
windows were shattered by the
screaming winds in some stores
despite protective shutters. An
occasional palm tree lay flat on
the ground.

BARCELONA, July 20. (UP).
Guarded reports from rebel and
loyalist commands indicated today
that the greatest battle of the
civil war is being fought at cara
goza, where loyalists are attack
ing a strong military center.
Rebel reports of heavy losses
from a loyalist attack, and a 10y
alist announcement that it was
necessary to mass all available
forces before Zaragosa could be
stormed led to belief here that
one assault on the city had been
repulsed.
Colonel SANDING, commanding
the loyalist air force in Catalonia,
advised President Luis Companys
of the autonomous Catalonian
government that the final assault
could not be made until all loyal
forces reached Zaragoza.
Loyalists now are taking up po-
sitions - described officially as
'important" - and distributing
war materials, it was announced.
Airplanes bombed the rebels at
Huerca, north of Zaragoza, and
routed them, the government as
serted.
Perez Barras, leader of the
Catalonian left front, left for
Zaragoza with a column of rein
forcing militiamen. A second col
umn containing militia and artll-
lery units left this morning. -Four
other columns are reported ad-
vancing on the city from south
and east. In Barras' column alone
there were between 5000 and
1000 men.
1t is estimated by the govern
ment that there are 5000 sea-
soned regulars in the city in adj
dition to Fascists and Royalists.
Government and loyalist army
leaders realize that the, city will
be hard to take.

Because of this belief, a rumor
has been circulated that the Gov.

faith" in deducting from the final
payment of the bonus the cash
represented in the railroad fares.
The truth of the matter, it was
pointed out by Federal officials to-
day, is that the Hoover Admins

fares charged against their ad.

By THE BONUS EDITOR

Many of the letters being re-
ceived by the Bonus Editor Of
The Washington Times are from
relatives of dead veterans who
desire information on the posi-.
bility of inheriting the latter's
bonuses.
While many technicalitieS sur
round the payment of a bonus
to an heir or beneficiary, hun
dredS of thousands Of dollars
have already been paid to living
relatives Of a dead exservice man
by the Veterans Administration.

ject are as follows:

I was very nervous all evening

priests spoke except on Sundays,
but the boys said it was a special
meeting about Father Coughlin's
new plan for social justice.
They were gone about two hours.
When they finally came, they
walked into the sitting room and
sat down.
Dayton hit his knee with his
hand and demanded:
"Can you beat that?"
asked what had happened and
he shook his head. Then Dayton
said:

chauffeur drove slowly, and the
man got out and hid himself.
Stain was just at the point Of
getting into the car, when one
of the G. p. U. men, of his own
personal bodyguard, got the idea
of searching the car once mere.
"And you know what they
found? Some explosive matter,

enough to blow to atoms the

"If the explosive was placed
in the car after it left the gar

must be in the Kremlin. The
chauffeur, of course, was inn
mediately arrested, and / am not
saying whether he was tortured
or not.
But anyhow, even if he
wanted to do so, he could not

On the other hand, the Krem-

After the assassination Of Kirov
