 Directly across the 15-mile strait, where the Atlantic meets the Medi- terranean, from Ceuta lies the Great British stronghold of Gibraltar seized from Spain in 1704 and held since. Twenty thousand people live in Gibraltar but many of those who work at the rock" come there from the neighboring Spanish town of La Linea de la Conception, com- monly called La Linea. The name means "the line" or "the frontier" La Linera lies across a narrow strip of neutral ground and there in a town of 60,0O0 people, fighting be- tween the rebels and workers has resulted in 200 dead.
 Where Govt. Killed
 Just across the tip of the Span ish peninsula from La Linea, 40 miles away, is Algeciras, where &C., cording to government reports, workers have killed 119 rebels. About 40 miles northwest of Algeciras along the coast lies the important shipping town of Cadiz, where a loyal warship has bombarded the rebels holding the city. Sixty miles inland and northeast of Cadiz is the city of Seveille from which the rebels reportedly have broadcast their claims of countrywide suc- cesses. Go up the coast, to the northeast of La Linea and you come to Malaga, city from which the grapes come, where loyal sub marines are ready to suppress rebel activity.
 Three hundred miles northeast of La Linea lies the capital, Madrid, in the center of Spain far away from the southern country and Morocco where the revolt started and is strongest.

 Long Beach. Cal, July 20-(UP) Anthony J. Paris, 25-year-old transient, was held for federal agents today after his arrest aboard the navy airplane carrier U. s. s. Sara toga where he asSertedly took notes in what happened to be code.
 A seaman was reported to have informed superiors that Paris evinced more than casual interest in the ships guns, taking notes as he sought detailed information on am- munition, range and other technical points.
 The youthful transient was taken ashore by ships officers and turned over to Long Beach police.
 Seamen and officers have been watching all visitors to navy vessels closely since Harry Thompson, for mer seaman, was convicted of es- pionage for visiting warships and seeking information on guns and fleet movements.
 Police said Paris told them an in- coherent story of jotting down notes on his shipboard observations in his own special shorthand" He said he was trying to perfect his style so he could write letters to my wife after I'm married so no one else could read them" So far, he explained, he is unable to transcribe his own notes.

Landon Rushes Plan
To Aid Kansas Farmers

TOPEKA, Kan, Sept. S (I.N.SO.
Believing fresh rains have broken
the drought in most parts Of
Kansas, Gov. Alfred M. Landon
returned to his state house desk
today to spur State officials in
aiding farmers to replenish their
heat-shrunken cattle feed supplies.
AS he informed President Roose-
welt in their historic Des MoineS
conference, the Kansas supply
of cattle feed is but 20 per cent
of normal, due to the drought.
AS a result, thousands Of farmers
in the sun-scorched areas must
purchase feed supplies or sell
their cattle.
This feed shortage was i'm
pressed upon the Governor in his
brief tour of drought areas in
northeastern Kansas. At the Kan
SaS orphans home near AtchiSon,
he learned even the State is being
forced to purchase fodder for a
herd of cattle kept to supply the
children with milk and butter.
Brings More Rain
The Governor maintained his
record as a "rain-maker" on his
trip back for Des Moines. A
heavy rain greeted him in st.
Joseph, Mo-, and another storm
overlook him at Atchison. At
one point near Meriden, Kan, it
appeared the Governor might
unite his drought inspection trip
with one for reviewing flood
damages, when a cloudburst
struck his cavalcade of motor
cars. The rain was so heavy it
inundated the road with a foot
of water in the lowlands.
The Governor was waiting anx'
iously for a reply from Western
railroads to his plea for slash
in joint freight rates upon move
ment of cattle out of drought sec
lions into fertile pastures. He
also appealed for lower rates on
grains and concentrates shipped
into sun-baked areas for feeding
purposes.
After clearing his desk the
Governor will spend quiet week
end on a farm near Kansas City.
He will leave there Sunday night
for wichita, to attend the annual
State convention of the Kansas
American Legion. He is a mem
Der of the Legion and has met
with his World War buddies an
nually.

day." announced 5000 workers

Strike Ends Tuesday
The WPA four-day holiday"
will end Tuesday night when a
mass meeting will be held, officials
said, to consider a city and coun-
try-wide strike if demands have
not been met.

ing delivery and trucking service
