 Jean Harlow has the comedy hit role of her career as the dashing spitfire who loves Tracy so much that she's even willing to marry an- other man in order to help him out of hole.

 Moscow, Oct. 12.z(UP).-Russis established direct telephone service to Madrid today, announced that its Spanish aid fund had reached 26,000.0 roubles ($5,2oo ,000), sent q fourth food ship to Spain and de- nounced fascist countries alleged tc be aiding the Spanish insurgents. Tn the first call over the newly estab- lished telephone circuit, Julio AL varez del Vayo, Spanish foreign minister, thanked authorities here for the food already sent. In addi- tion to the $5,200,000 raised by col lections for food for the loyalist gov ernment, it was announced here that factories were setting aside thousand of suits, coats and shoes for Spanish children.
 Newspapers Comment
 Newspapers commented jubiliantly on the moral effect of Russia $ charges that Germany, Italy and Portugal are aiding the insurgents with munitions. But as to the ma- terial effect, the newspapers com mented bitterly not only on the al- legged evasion of the charges by the countries named but an alleged evasion of the committee of non- intervention as @ whole. At least the newspapers said, the Russian charges smashed a plot of silence which other powers tried to main tain regarding violations of the non- intervention agreement" as Pravda put 1t.
 The Italian, German and Por- tuguese delegates at the London meeting contented themselves with denunciations of Russia because they had no answer to the Russian charges. 1t was held.

It was reported that the rebels had started their ad- vance nOrthward on the Madrid highway from Toledo.

 MT. Roosevelt pointed to the Uni ted States monetary system as the Soundest in the world and assailed those who have questioned it.
 The great bullion reserves now in the United States treasury" he remarked "are sufficient to redeem every dollar of our currency far more than 100 per cent, and yet people for partisan purposes are willing to spread the gospel of fear that our currency is not on a sound foundation"
 Federal Govt. Alone
 Defending his board emergency program, the president said that '.in the complete stagnation of business, or mines and of farms, there was only one agency capable of starting things going again-government- not local government, not 48 state governments, because they had reached the limit of their resources, but the federal government itself"
 sWhen this administration came tn." he explained, tits first act was to discover where the corner was and then to turn it. The turning involved action and the action was based on two obvious and simple methods of locomotion. First, by spending money to put people to woTk, and, secondly, by lending money to stop people from going broke"

 With the Loyalist Miners, Oviedo, Oct. 12-(UP)-Loyalist miners, dy- namiting their way from house to house and street to street, held nearly four-fifths of Oviedo today and hoped for the collapse of rebel resistance. Gen. Miguel Aranda, the msurgent commander, was re- ported wounded, seriouslyy but prob- ably not critically, and his garrison was believed now to be reduced to a dangerously low nucleus whose sur- render may be forced at any time. A desperate attempt to relieve the garrison was reported frustrated when 8 force of 5000 miners in the mountains west of the city fought their way from a trap formed by four advancing columns. They re- ported that they annhilated one col- umn, and with the cooperation of airplanes, forced the others to re- treat.
 Casualties in fierce fighting Sat- urday and Sunday were estimated at more than 1000. The rebels, who numbered at the beginning of the siege 12 weeks ago perhaps 5000 men, have lost heavily. On three sides, in the city proper, the insur- gents are encircled. They still hold the cathedral and the streets lead ing eastward to the suburban Le Vega arms factory, which is expected to be their final stronghold. There is some hope among the attacking force that one of the columns brok- en up by the loyalist miners and airplanes was that of Moors and for eign legionnaires sent as shock troops to relieve the Oveido garrison. Aviators who bombed and machine gunned the column believed to con- tain the Moors reported that they left 600 bodies lying in the road. Fighting is going on now nearly all night as well as all day. Heavy fog impedes operations often.

offensive that was reaching It's cres- cendo hour by hour was expected toward Navalcarnero and Fl Esco- rial. In the western front, the rebels had passed Navalperal De Pinares, Fl Hoyo and San Martin De Valde- igesias in three attacking columns. The battle for Madrid was proceed ing in a cold rain and heavy fog which iImpeded movements of men and supply trains. This weather, and teh possibility that Russia would denounce the international non n-intervention agreement were the governments great hopes. The weather will slow up the attack, de- nunciation of the agreennt would mean that the government could buy arms which the neutrality" agreemnt has denied it.
 Strict Censorship
 A most stringent censorship was clamped down last night and all dispatches dealing with the Situa- tion at the front were slashed. The city was plunged in absolute dark ness at II p. m.
 Eloquent of the imminence of the actual battle of Madrid, heavy gaurds were thrown around all pub lie buildings and the telephone ex- change. Special passes were issued to persons authorized to be on the streets. But so nervous was the att mosphere that movement was dan- gerous at night with passes.
 Left front leaders, at mass meet ings, in newspapers and by means of posters sought to whip up patri- otic fervor. The close approach of the rebels, and the necessity of de- lending the capitals very gates were used to emphasize the need for courage and steel discipline.

LEHMAN MOVE
PITS FARLEY,
TAMMANY
BY JAMES L. KILGALLEN

BY JAMES L. KILGALLEN
NEW YORK, May 26 GN.SO'
Governor Herbert H. Lehman's
announcement that he will not
be . candidate again has thrown
New York State into the balance
in the 1886 Presidential race and
presages a battle between Tam
many Hall and James A. Farley,
chairman of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee, on the issue OF
who will be nominated for Gov
ernor.
In political circles today they
were saying the real story back
Of Lehman's withdrawal is that
he told President Roosevelt last
February he had made up his
mind not to run again. Mr..
Roosevelt, it is said, informed
Lehman at that time he would
talk to him further about this
but never did.
Rift Hinted
Roosevelt in the meantime
came to New York for the Jack"
son Day dinner and as much as
renominated Lehman for a third
term-and they say Lehman
didn't like this bit.
Other factors influencing Leh-
man to quit politics were the
death of his brother, Arthur, on
May 10; criticism from former
Justice Daniel P. Cohalan, who
was said to be rejecting Tam
many Halls attitude toward Gov
ernor Lehman, and his political
senSitivenesS."
Mrs. Lehman is understood to
have regarded the criticism Of
her husband by Cohalan as an
other evidence Of ingratitude in
politics. Cohalan in a letter to
Farley attacked Lehman as the
outstanding example Of extrava-
gance ever to be the Governor
of any State. He aSSailed the
National Administration for cling
ing to Lehman because he is
such a good vote-getter.
Politically Sensitive
Lehman, an ex-banker, is Sensi-
tive politically and he is said to
have taken the Cohalan letter to
heart. The death of Arthur Leh-
man strengthened the governors
feeling that he should return to
active participation in the affairs
of the banking house of Lehman
Brothers, which is the source Of
the Lehman family income.
The result now is that James
J. Dooling, leader of Tammany
Hall, must work fast and make
an alliance with upstate politi-
clans, such as the O'Connell
brothers of Albany, so as to beat
Farley to the punch in the selec-
ton Of q successor to Lehman.
Farley would like to run for
governor of New York: but, run
ming Roosevelt's 1885 campaign,
he cannot afford to do so. Be
sides, he has not built himself
up for the governorship. Then,
too, he knows Tammany will
fight him tooth and nail.
