Joseph D. Whitaker, county

section, was murdered by racket
GERS engaged in illegal spotlight
hunting, John d. Chalk, commits
sioner of game and inland fisher
les, of Raleigh, said yesterday.
Mr.. Chalk came here to attend
the funeral.
He declared that Whitaker was
one of the best men in the service
of the department and before his
death was slated for a promotion
by the department.
Spotlighting, the practice of
hunting deer with spotlight at
night, is a violation of the law,
and is only practiced by racket
GERS. Some of these men, as prov
ed by Whitaker'S murder, are out
laws and are so dangerous that
all the power Of the state should
be used to convict them, Mr..
Chalk said.
At present, he said, game law
violations are misdemeanors, but
the department will ask the next
legislature to revise game laws.

provide heavy penalties for those
guilty of violating these laws.
Whitaker was shot, in the opin-
ion of Mr.. Chalk, because of his
activities in trying to stop this IL
legal form Of hunting, and the
number of wardens in the Mills
River section will be doubled in
an effort to stop spotlighting.
Other than to state that the in
vestigation was being continued,
and that a number of angles
were being investigated, the Sher-
ifs department today had no
announcement to make concern
ing the fatal shooting of Joseph

Frontier, Nov. 17.--(UP)-Na-
tionalist troops, across the Man
zanares river at last, fought saw
agely to penetrate to Madrid's
heart today against massed thou
sands of loyalist militiamen.
Dispatches from loyalist as well
as nationalist sources indicated
that not only had the nationalists
consolidated positions in Univer-
sity City, in Madrid's northwest
suburbs, but had gained a foot
hold in the city proper not far
I from the national palace, the old
royal palace.
Star column leaders of the ma
! tionalist army, the veteran army
colonies who took the war front
all the way from the Portuguese
frontier to Madrid, were thrown
into the fight.
Newspaper dispatches asserted
that 800 field guns were blasting
the city while the national fleet
of 102 airplanes bombed it in
sauadrons at intervals.
It was made clear that the fight
was just beginning, apparently;
but that it was in its climatic
phase and must thunder toward a
crescendo increasingly.
From their position in single
building in University City, the
nationalist Moors and Foreign Le-
sionnaires fought their way. to
stronger ground. Another force
tried to cut around directly north
of Madrid and strike southwark.
On the city's west side, 1t was as
serted that the nationalist cross
ed. the Manazares n6rthward OF
the palace and thence were try
ing to fight their way south to-
ward the model prison and the
Montana barracks. Two strong
columns struck directly east try
ing to cross the river and flank
the loyalists. -,
Loyalist communicates did not
admit penetration by nationalists
either into University City or the
western section, but referred TO
fighting around" those quarters.
Nationalist claims, jubilant as
they we're, indicated that up to
this morning any penetration was
only in such small force that the
loyalists might overwhelm the at

Two columns which sought to
