MELILLA BEGS

Miners Threat to

BY THOMAS A. LOAYZA

MADRID, Aug. 10 U.N.SO
Plague was added today to SPANS
civil war scourge with serious out
breaks of cholera reported in
Spanish Morocco.
The government radio inter
copied broadcasts from Melilla,
urgently appealing to insurgents
in Seville to rush 20 cases of anti
cholera vaccine and a similar con-
signment of anti-rabieS serum by
airplane.
So great Is Melilla's need that
the call was repeated 80 times.
The LeftiSt Madrid government
issued statement that its forces
beSieging Oviedo, Cordoba, Sara,
goSSa and other points were
strengthening their grip hourly.
Madrid officials expressed hor.
ror and indignation at alleged
atrocities they said were perpe'
trated by an inSurgent column, led
by Gen. Queipo Dellano against
Huelva and the surrounding region
where, it is charged, wholesale
executions of loyalists were carried
out.
Entire committees of Left Re
publicans, Socialists and Commu-
nistS were executed at Huelva
without trial, it was asserted.
Reinforcements were being sent
up to the Sierras, where a decisive
drive will be launched soon against
the rebels at Alto De Leon pass
in the Somosierras, Madrid Off
Gals said.
CadiZ BOmbarded
Reports of heavy loyalist casual
ties in the SierraS during the last
three days were officially denied.
While an insurgent infantry
drive northward from Seville and
the LoyaliSt movement against
Saragossa continued today, artil-
lery, naval, and aerial lombard
ments continued to be the chief
activity of the opposing forces.
InSurgent airplanes fought with
the famed loyalist battleship
Jaime I, and seven other warcraft
anchored in Malaga Harbor with
out damage to either side, after
which the Jaime I, Libertad, and
Cervantes rained shells on Cadiz-
indicating once more that Cadiz
remains in insurgents hands.
The civilian population of OWE
do, already badly damaged by
bombs and fire, was thrown into
terror today by a threat of the
miners army besieging the city
to blow it up with dynamite. The
encircling army has tremendous
quantities of explosives taken
from the coal mines.
British Evacuated
Twelve government seaplanes
and two ships bombarded Iviza,
one of the Balearic islands, inter
rupting the raid long enough for
British residents to flee aboard
the destroyer Douglas. Govern
ment claims that Ivizia has now
fallen are without confirmation
Loyalists again opened a ter
rifle bombardment of land forces
in the Sierra Guadarrama sec
tor just north of Madrid as a pre-
liminary fer an infantry offensive
in the mountain passes. Govern
ment air pilots said the insurgent
artillery is replying only infre-
quently, an indication that insur-
gent ammunition supplies are run
ming low.

Investors have been slow to
take the issue offered by the cor

Corporation officials said that

vantage of the easy money mar

After shielding Ellis Parker and
his son, Ellis, jr., from examina-

nor Harold G. Hoffman today "re-
served decision" at their extradi-
ton hearing on charges growing
out of the Hauptmann case.
At the serio-comic hearing,
which was marked by occasional
bursts Of applause from the State
house assembly gallery, the gov
ernor said:
81 think I'll reserve decision
until after the Federal Grand
Jury in Newark completes its
investigation into the case In

The hearing lasted an hour.
Both Parkers, accused OF kidnap-
ing and beating Paul Wendell into
a confession of the Lindbergh kid
naping last winter in an effort to
aid the governor, were present.
So was Wendell, who exchanged
good-natured glances with them
during the proceedings.
New Yorker Baked
Assistant District Attorney Fran
els A. Madden represented New
York when the governor baked
his attempts to question the Park
ers and Col. Mark o. Kimberlin,
newly appointed head of the New
Jersey State police. Madden pro-
duced two New York policemen,
who identified the defendants. He
then made an impassioned appeal
for their eXtradition.
Three defense lawyers, repre-
senting the Parkers, argued that
the governor has the right to in
quire into the alleged facts of the
case as we'll as the identity of the
defendants. They charged that
the Parkers would be "railroaded"
in New York. They accused Mad
den of "affronting" the governor
by failure to examine Wendell and
charged he was afraid to put
Wendell on the stand"
The gallery applauded this &C
cuSation. Madden shouted back at
the defense lawyers:
I'm not afraid Of you nor
anybody else in the State of New
Jersey"
The galleries applauded again.

LABOR PARTY
HINT SEEN IN
A. F. |. SPLIT
Political Chiefs Differ
on Probability Of
New SetuP
BY GEORGE r. HOLMES
International News Service

Organized labors spectacular
split into two warning and bitter
factions, coming as it does at the
outset of a peculiarly tense presi'
Dental campaign, aroused the
deep interest of leaders Of all
political parties today.
The question which they were
asking themselves and each other
was:
Does this split presage the
formation of an American
labor party?"
AS to that there were various
aESWerS-and no answer.
In the rebellious, independent
committee for industrial organiza-
ton, headed by pugnacious John
L. Lewis, and comprising approx,
imately one-third Of the American
Federation of LaborS member
ship, some politicians saw the
nucleus of the long-dreamed labor
party which may eventually take
its place alongside the old parties.
Significance Uncertain
Others pooh-poohed the idea,
pointing to the abortiVe efforts
made in the past to promote the
fortunes of labor through a politi,
cal organization made up of and

Still others preferred to wait
and See." The politicians and the
spokesmen of all parties appeared
dubious and uncertain as to just
what this momentous division
within the ranks of labor, the first
real split in half century, por-
tends in the way of political de-
velopment.
One thing is as reasonably GER
tain as anything in politics can be.
That is that this year organized
labor is preponderantly Demo
cratic in the campaign. Lewis and
his chief lieutenantS in the c. l. o.

President Roosevelt. They have
Endorsed him openly and conSpicu

assured the Democratic organlZa,

In Roosevelt Ranks
The federation forces, headed
by the cautious and conservative
William Green, have made no
such open commitment as the c,
l. o. directors, but the expecta'
ton is general that in the end
