Companion Injured in
Brush With Guerrilla
Fighting on Road

NORTHERN SPANS IN.
SURGENT ARMY HEADQUAR.
Tiers, BURGOS, Aug. 81. GNS0
Reds of the tough Basque pro,
vince of Guipuzcoa today are
haraSsing the white attackers OF
San Sebastian by vicious and per
sistent guerrilla warfare, which
yesterday claimed its first news,
paperman casualty.
Travelling south on the road
from Tolosa towards Alsasua, we
thought we were leaving the
front, but the front caught up
with us.
At Beasain a white motorcycle
dispatch rider warned us and we
stopped while he reconnoitered.
Raked by Rifle Fire
Returning, he declared the road
free and accompanied us q few
hundred yards when a sudden
burst of rifle fire from a point
not more than 300 yards away
Spattered lead around us.
Northern Spanish roads now
adayS are Uttered with cars that
careened into bitches, with ten
to . hundred bullet holes telling
how they got there.
We damned on the brakes and
leaped for the other side OF a
stone fence, where two youthful
Spanish FaSciStS we're blazing
away in an effort to simulate a
strong force until help could ar
rive.
Protected by Stone Wall
The Reds had filtered down
the valley from Gumarraga, and
with the least initiative might
have rushed our two Fascists
and captured the entire party.
The record of this war does not
encourage optimism at the pros
pect of being captured.
For Is minutes we lay in
cornfield and painfully listened
to the bullets hitting our protec-
tive stone wall. Then came 20
blue-overalled FascistS, running
easily in Indian file behind the
wall.
They opened up a fusillade
which temporarily quiet d the
Reds. We took the chance to
get away, and dashed for the
car. The first stretch Of so
yards was being directly raked
by Red rifle fire, but we had
luck, and their burst of bullets
cut the road behind us.
Doctor Treats Injury
Seton Delmer, my colleague
from the London Daily Express,
found that the heavy fall as fir
ing broke out had dislocated his
shoulder. The Red Cross doctor
at AlSaSua wrenched it back into
place, and Delmer is now re-
cuperating in Burgos.
According to Seville reports, the
British consul visited and thanked
the white commander, Gen.
Queipo de Llano, for capturing
the village of Aznacollar, where
some British subjects remained.
The whites report the reds at
AZnacollar put their prisoners into
a Stockade then cropped dyna-
mite cartridges among them,
burned others to death, and muir
dered two children.
General de Llano's broadcast
charged that red airplanes are
using British air bombs, and de-
clared that he had two recovered
from Lardoa, a town the reds
bombed yesterday.

Saw Representative Harry
B. Coffee and his small bride
having cocktails. They were
at a ringside table in the May
flower lounge and chatting fu-
riously. Very pretty, with her
large blue eyes, she wore a
sports frock of emerald green
and brimmed hat of black We
lour. The Representative
doubtless was punning, for
which he is famed.
A merry trio now being seen
quite a bit together is that of
Mary Senate Howes, vivacious
daughter of the Assistant Post
master General and Mrs. w.
W. Howes; John Sobotka and
Tom Krock. The last time we
saw them, Mary Senate had on
a brick-colored frock with
brown gadgets on the belt and
a brown cravat at the neck.
Her matching hat was one of
those off-the-face ones that are
tricky things to wear, splendid
for dancing, but a trial in the
wind.
An interesting threesome we
saw chatting the other morn
ing were Mrs. William N.
Doak, Mrs. James T. Newton
and Mrs. Tilman Parks. The
former Cabinet lady had on
black. Her smart little hat
of hatter's plush had a visor
effect brim and, was trimmed
with pom-pom of silver fox.
Mrs. Parks also wore black
with a Northumberland hat
beneath which one caught a
glimpse of her lovely white
curls. Mrs. Newton was
gowned in brown, topping off
her costume with a handsome
mink coat.
Mrs. Doak is leaving today
for Florida. She is to motor
down and after spending a
few days basking on the
beach, and doing all of the
other typically Southern pas
times she will return to Wash
ington in time for the begin
ming of the quiet season.
One of the first straw hats
to be seen this year was g
large dark blue Milan model
which was vastly becoming tt
it's wearer, Mrs. Carlos de.

entertained at a delightful,
dance the other evening at the

SHORT SCORES
FARLEY SLUR
ON LAND0N

Postmaster General James A.
Farley yesterday was attacked in
the House of Representatives as
q one-time prize-fight promoter,
who is now running around at
Government expense in dellber'
ate scheme to "Tammanyize" the
country.
The attack was made by Repre-
sentative Dewey Short R0, OF
Missouri, who declared he deeply
resented the speech at Grand
Rapids, Mich, Wednesday in
which Farley ridiculed Governor
Alfred M. Landon, of Kansas, as
Just the governor of typical
prairie State"
Deliberate Slur"
AS the House listened with
eager interest, Short declared that
Notwithstanding Farley's "delloer-
ate slur," the people of the west
ern agricultural and prairie States
ARE not dumbbells, freaks, rubes
and hicks"
Governor Landon may not have
been born with a silver spoon IN
his mouth. Short said, but the peo-
pie of the West know him as a
plain, able and sincere executive
"who has made a remarkable rec
ord by keeping the promises in the
platform on which he was elected.
Short drew a contrasting pic
ture between Governor Landon's
background and the fishing trips
which President Roosevelt has
made in Caribbean waters from
the yacht, Nourmahal, owned by
Vincent Aston.
He said that Landon, "like the
average, modest sportsman in the
country" is willing to fish with a
cane pole and a can OF worms Tor
bait and that he Spurns trips
on the million-dollar yacht OF
some social highught."
Reaction POndered
This marked the first heated
debate in which the name of the
Kansas budget balancing governor
has been used in the national
arena of the House of Representa-
tives. AS the Democrats listened
to Short, they wondered whether
Farley's alleged slur upon the
residents of "just the Prairie
States" would produce the same
unfavorable reactions as former
Senator George H. Moses char
acterization of the WeSterners as
the "Sons of Wild JackaSses."
Short said in part, in his speech
to the House:
ut is absolutely inexcusable
and wholly indefensible that
any member of the Presidents
Cabinet should at the same
time act in the capacity of
chairman of the national COM
mittee, regardless of the pOlit-
ical party to which he belongs.
AMAZING PERFORMANCE
81 was amazed to read the
ulSQdtCu lIOM OLduU 4SdpAuS
stating that Postmaster Gen.
eral Farley, who also is chair
man of the Democratic national
committee, acting as chief dis
penSer of patronage, who is
now making trips all over the
country, receiving the salary Of
Postmaster General to defray
his campaign expenses in try
ing to resell the New Deal to
the people, referred to Cover
nor LandOn as the governor Of
a typical prairie State and fur
Their went on to say:
81 am not in possession Of
exact knowledge of why the Re-
publican party chooses to put
him on a pedestal, but if I were
permitted to guess would be
inclined to believe that it was
because he was elected governor
of a typical prairie State.'"

FRAilcE'S DIRECT "a
APPEAL TO ITALY IS
COLDLY RECEIVED

GENEVA, April l7.-(UP),-
France today appealed direct to
Italy in the interest of European
peace to agree to an armistice
with Ethiopia. France then ap-
pealed to Great Britain, urging
it to refrain from seeking new
league penalties against Italy on
the grounds that the stability of
all Europe might be menaced.
These appeals were made while
league leaders feared the collapse
of their efforts to end the Italo-
Ethiopian war, and as a result,
the death of the system of collec-
tive security under the league as
now constituted.
Striving desperately to effect a
compromise, Joseph Paul Boncour,
chief French delegate, appealed
personally to Baron Pompeo Aloisi
to ask Mussolini to agree to an
armistice.
Aloisi coldly pointed out that
he is here merely as an envoy and
without plenipotentiary powers.
He agreed to transmit the appeal,
however, but offered no encour-
agement that Mussolini would ac-
cept.
There remained apparently but
a few hours before there must be
a definitive turn in the present
diplomatic emergency.
