Cuiroga, and most of them were lined before flrrng squads. Soldiers who were captured after fighting for the rebels were given their choice of joining the communists and syn- dicalists. If they refused, they were killed. Every ofiicer who joined the rebellion and was captured in Barcelona, was shot, said the local man.
 Quiroga was warned by the Amer ican consul general ct Barcelona that he had better leave the coun- try or his life would be endangered. He plans to remain in Waterbury. 1,
 Glad to Return
 T am glad to be here," he declar- cd, because In Spain all is blood, all Is destruction. I hate to think of what will, happen to the country where I was born, but I hope that there will come Q government which will establish law and order, which will not persecute its enemies or declare war on religion as did the present communist government. Never did believe such cruelty possible as that which I saw with my own eyes. I still shudder as I think of the slaughter, the butcher ing and the torture. am glad to be back in Q free country, where the government does not engage in, persecution, where Q man can live and believe as he sees it. Here there is peace; in Spain there is blood and hatred"

The next day, Quiroga volunteered for service and was given the hos- pital post at the Hospital Clinico dc Barcelona. Hundreds of pa- tients were brought in day after day, many of them dead or close to death. Almost all were supporters of the revolution against the cogn- Inunist government.
 Bodies MutiIated
 "The bodies of priests and nuns" CuirogA related, were 60 ynutiiated as to be unrecogniSable. Some of them had their bodies literally ripped to pieces by bullet and bay- onet wounds. Others were almost charred skeletons. One priest was brought in, and I counted nine hayonet performations in his body, besides several bullet wounds. He died in 46 hours. Many had more wounds, and their faces were bat- tered and scarcely recognizable as human countenances."
 Quiroga told of one priest brought into the hospital, seriously wounded. He had once befriended Q medical student, and the latter attempted to arrange for the cleric to escape. The communists got wind of the plan, and the youth was shot and killed. And the priest,' Quiroga shrugged, T do not know what happened to him."
 Faced Squad
 Supporters of the revolt were un- able to escape from Barcelona, said

tect our people during any enforced
idleness in the bituminous field"
The statement continues. in part:
"The United Mine Workers Of
America is engaged in o great cam
paign to organize the mass production
industries .. To safeguard our
interests it is vital that the great steel
industry be organized, together with
other basic industries we are
meeting with terrific opposition. But

enactment of legislation to bring about
greater economic justice and social
security in this country"
Having all the appearance Of a
major engagement between the in
dustry and the organizing forces OF
the Committee for Industrial Organ
ization, hearings opened this morn
ing before the board on charges that
the United States Steel Corp. and
its wholly owned subsidiary, the Car
negie- Illinois Steel Corp, have inter-
fered with the self-organization OF
their employees in 81 plants of the
latter concern.
In brief, the complain, brought by
the board against the steel companies
is that the plan of employe represen-
tation established in the various plants
is supported financially by the COM
pany. This circumstance, along with
others, the complaint alleges, gives
the company domination of the un-
ions and leaves no privilege of real
collective bargaining.

Among alleged defects Of the COM

Is absence Of any provision for col

SHAH RECALLS
ALL ENJOYS
FROM u. 5.
international News Service


Under imperial orders from
Shah Ria Pahlavi, all Iranian
,(Persian) diplomatic and consular
officers in the United States to-
day were preparing to .'ack their
bags and leave this country as a
protest against the freedom Of the
American press in connection with
what has become known here as
"L'Affaire Elkton."
The move did not represent the
complete severance Of diplomatic
relations. Those relations will be
carried out through the American
legation at Teheran.
The move represented the ire
of the Iranian ruler over the
lightneSS with which the Ameri-
can press treated the arrest and
Handwriting of his former minis
ter here, Ghaffar Djalal, who
underwent this affront to his
dignity when he sought to argue
a couple of Maryland police Of
ficerS out of a motor speeding
charge at Elkton last November.
The ridicule which the Ameri-
can press and periodicals
showered upon the Iranian min
lister and his government for
making such a fuss over the in
cident infuriated the Shah.
Not satisfied with a formal
apology from Secretary of State
Cordell Hull and the removal of
the Maryland police officers from
their posts, the Shah recalled his
minister.
When this action led to a new
outburst of ridicule, the Shah
sent the charge d'affaires of the
legation, Hossein Ghods, to the
State Department to demand
that the American Government
curb the press. When this failed
the Shah decided to, recall his
diplomats.
