PIN-BALL GONE
FR0MCAP|TAL

Pay-off pin-ball machines were
as hard to find as the proverbial
needle in the haystack today as
police continued to comb the city,
prepared to seize them wherever
they were found in operation.
The machines were adjudged to
be gambling devices in a ruling
a few days ago by District Court
Justice Daniel w. O'Donoghue.
Following the ruling, Police Chief
Ernest w. Brown issued inStruc-
lions to "beat" policemen to
seize machines found in operation.
However, owners and distribu-
tors of the machines took advan-
tage of the 24-hour period of
grace between the signing of the
court order and the issuance of
the police instructions. Inquiry
revealed that most of the ma
chimes were being shipped to other
cities where they are permitted
to operate undistrubed.

ROME, Nov. 27.-"Spain is a
country divided against itself.
It is half white, half red. One
day it will be all crimson with
the blood of both.
ITO wipe out deeply-rOOted
Communism and anarchy may
mean the death of millions"
Thus spoke the late Jose An,
tonic Primo De Rivera, leader OF
the original Spanish FaScistS, in
an interview with the writer in
Primo De Rivaro's heavily-guarded
retreat in Madrid in November,
1884.
He was explaining why at that
time his newly-formed Fascist
party was not participating in the
then current revolution to unSeat
the rightist government of San
Jose Maria Gil Robes, Catholic
party leader. He saw no hope OF
success.
Prophecy Is True
But his prophecy and his analy-
sis of Spanish politics has been
proved true. With it, borne on the
rumble of thunder on the left,
comes danger for Europe. And
also came death for Primo de
Rivera himself. He was executed
by q firing squad several days ago
at Alicante after having been
convinced by a peoples tribunal
of completely in the Franco revolt.
Lenin once predicted that the
perennially neutral Spain, the
Spain of stunning guitars and
gay voices, would one day become
the second Soviet"
Unless Catalonia fails to run
true to form, there is every reason
to believe, observers say, that
Barcelona will be the capital of a
new soviet.
For generations political differ
ences have separated Catalonia
and Castillo. Whenever Castille's
capital, Madrid, went right, Gaia
lonia rebelled and went red and
declared herself independent. Only
when a leftiSt government came to
power in Madrid did Barcelona
and Catalonia calm down, forget
agrarian difficulties, and cease the
cry for autonomy.
Spanish rightest refugees in
Rome admit General Franco will
have to conquer inch by inch
what remains Of Red Spain after
he takes Madrid. From Malaga
to Valencia to Barcelona there is
a long coastline technically open
to ships carrying arms and mum
tons for the leftist cause.
Coast battle-ground
That stretch of coast, many
believe, may we'll be the new bat
tleground of unsettled Europe.
Italian and German warships,
working in close harmony in the
Mediterranean, may halt vessels
seeking to land arms or NUM-
lions on that coast. Italy and
Germany are determined bolshev-
ism shall not triumph in Spain.
Indications are that Italy, at
least, will not countenance further
Soviet aid to Spain. There is rea-
son Germany will back any move
on the part of Premier MuSSolini
to interfere.
