Reserve Corps To
Combat Alleged
Radicals Planned
But Protector Is Discbarg-
ed From Treasury
Department

NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-(UP).-
An energetic United States treas
Wy cmploye, who said he had the
backing of ono of Alfred f..
Smiths strongest supporters, was
suspended last night after he an
nounccd plans for a militaristlc
veteran reserve corps Of 83O,fOO
members to combat alleged radi-
cal influence of Jews and Reds.
He is Hubert w. Eldrcd who
has been working with the depart.
mcntS procurement division doing
WPA work here. His suspension
was announced by T. J. Forde,
state procurement officer, a few
hours after Eldrcd'S elaborate
plans were revealed.
He displayed a copy of Gen
eral Order No. 3" to state COM
manding officers:

ing units numbered as follows
Forty divisions, 160 brigadcS OF
infantry. infantry regiments, 4OO,-

He warned against what he
termed "thc growing influence OF
Jews and Reds" and said that ms
men were pledged to combat rad

President Roosevelt, he SAID

ization as a possible radical.
He claimed as one of the or
ganization's principal supporters
Mrs. Mablc Jacques Eichel, ma

coalition of American woman
which sponsored Smiths recent
anti-Ncw Deal speech.
She was Every Interested IN
the organization, Eldrcd said, and
"is going to throw her whole or
ganization over to us after the
election" Mrs. Echel was not
available for comment.

DEFENSE UNIT
IN EMERGENCY

LONG AND BITTER
SIEGE FORESEEN

GIBRALTAR, Oct. Q. (UP).-
The Madrid government today had
formed an emergency defense
committee with the power of life
and death over the capitals resi-
dents. to take over the direction
of resisting the insurgent siege.
A curfew law has been imposed
and loyalist planes have been dis
patched from the city in antici-
patton Of resistance to insurgent
air raids Of the capital.
Children have been started to-
ward the coast and clerks and
women mounted the new city for"
tifcations to remain until the
siege is over.
At their closest point of ad-
vance, insurgents were within 80
miles of Madrid, the forces form
ing a ring which brings them to
within an approximate forty-mile
radius Of the capital. The ring,
however, has break in it toward
the Mediterranean, on the east
side.
Rebels meanwhile announced
new victories west of the capital.
They believed they had trapped
an army Of $500 loyalists in
pass in the Gredos mountains.
1t was learned also that the
rebels are looking forward to a
desperate fight for the city OF
Madrid, and contemplate that it
will likely take weeks for them to
subdue the city.
At London, the committee on
non-intervention met to try to
sidetrack Russia's demand for inn
mediate cessation of alleged Fas-
cist aid for insurgents.
Rebel planes have bombed the
railroad line between Madrid and
Aranjuez, the capitals outlet to
the east coast, but ii developed
that traffic was only halted for 80
minutes.
An appeal, purporting to come
from Madrid radio, urged all men
and women up to so years of age
to report at the recruiting offices
there for duty.

INTERVENTION GROUP
MEETS TODAY TO WARD OFF
THREATENED SOVIET ACTION
Russia Makes Specific
Charges Against Por.
tugal of Aid Given Span
ish Rebels
By FREDERICK KUH
United Press Staff Correspondent

LONDON, Oct. Q. (UP) Rus
sia last night specifically charged
Portugal with intervening in the
Spanish civil war and reiterated
that she will consider herself free
to "act as she sees fit"
The charges, contained in a Sec
ond note delivered to the intcrna-
tiOnal committee for non-interven-
ton in Spain by Soviet Delegate
Samuel Kagan, came while diplo-
mats of 81 nations held frenzied
conferences, hoping to prevent the
ultimatum from plunging Europe
into possible war.
Wednesday Russia flatly told
the committee that if the Fascist
powers did not stop aiding Span
ish Fascist rebels, she will consid-
or herself freed from the neutral
ity pact. Yesterday Kagan deliv-
cred the second note specifically
charging Portugal with several
violations Of the neutrality agree
mcnt. Germany and Italy were
mentioned earlier in general de-
nunciation.
The note mentioned testimony
of an Italian agreement, Nincenzo
Patriarca, alleging that Portu-
gucsc Statc-owncd munitions fac
tory in Bcrcarena sent shells and
machine guns to the Spanish reb-
els while asphyxiating gas of ltal-
ian manufacture was sent from
Lisbon to the Spanish frontier for
the insurgents. The note then
summarized American and other
press reports purporting to de-
scribe Italian and German aid for
Francois armies.
The note reviewed the allcga-
ton of the Spanish loyalist gov
crnment in it's note of Sept. ID
that Portugal was being used as a
base of operations for supplies for
the rebel forces. The note de-
manded that an impartial commits
sion be dispatched to the Spanish
Portuguese frontier to investigate
charges of neutrality violation and
that observers be stationed there
TO assure adherence to the neu-
trality agreement.
The Russian notes had the Of
feet of exploding bombs among
the diplomats of the neutrality
committee, and in British and
French foreign offices. Diplomats
scurricd from conference to con-
ference.
1t was tacitly admitted that the
Soviet Unions ultimatum had pre-
cipitated a long-feared crisis-onc
which finds the Fascist nations
automatically pitted against anti
Fascist powers.
Meantime, Lord Plymouth in
formed the members of the com
mittee of today's four point
agenda: -,
/. The Spanish governments
complaints of outside aid to reb-
els, which, it was understood,
British consuls in Spain have been
investigating.
2. Russia's detailed accused
against Portugal.
3. Russia's formal notification
denouncing the non-intervention
pact unless steps are taken immc-
diately to prevent outside assist
ance from going to the rebels.
d. Czcchoslovakia's suggestion
that special treatment" be APP
piled to vessels with arms and mu-
nitions for Spain which call at

pact.
1t was agreed that the agenda
bristled with difficulties. The ses-

PEOPLE COOPERATING
TO REDUCE FIRES

Regular quarterly inspections
are made by the fire department
of all buildings in the business
district, and inspections are made
elsewhere in town every SIX
months. When conditions are
found to be unsatisfactory, own
crs of the property are instructed
and asked to improve the condi-
tions. A reasonable length Of time
is allowed for this Improvement,
and another inspection is made.
Chief Powers stated that in prac-
ticallv every case he found prop
crty owners ready to cooperate
with him in improving conditions.
"Most property owners now
realize that they save themselves
money by preventing fires" Chief
Powers said, "bccause the insur-
ance rates for any town are based
on it's fire record over a period of

ANNUAL FIRE LOSS IN CITY

OVER PAST 5-YEAR PERIOD
Chief Powers Says every

IlcndcrSonvillc'S annual fire loss
has shown a steady decrease over
the past five years, it was point
cd out today in connection with
the Observance of Fire Prevention

year were $4,872 as compared to
losses of $3,4S5 for the first nine

ives, Know Yourselves!
a Accurate Analysis Will Do Much to
" Overcome Difficulty in Welded Life

CPEAKING on the question OF
trial marriages, well known
writer said, "There should be no
need for trial when two people
know their own abilities and have
measured themselves accurately.
Two people who understand them
selves will never, I believe, have
any difficulty living happily to-
gether after marriage"
That is a new slant on the CUES
ton of success in marriage, sup
plements a woman writer of ma
tional fame. Not ''Know thy hus-
band'' - or wife," but know
thyself!"
And, come to think of it, isn't
most of the discomfort and dissat-
isfaction in marriage traceable to
ideas of ourselves-that may be
misconceptions, no less than our
illusions about the other person?
How many women's dissatisfac-
ton with their husband has as it's
source the thought of all they gave
up to marry him, all they Knight
have had' if they had married a
certain other man?
How many womens discomfort
with the role of wife and mother
springs from the thought of how
much more fascinating pastimes
they might have had if they had
followed that career?
How many girls impossible ex-
pectations of fulltime lover and
Prince Charming originates in an
exaggerated notion of their own
devastating beauty and charm?
If all disconnected wives would
look deeply unto themselves,
measure themselves, stop fooling
themselves, many might discover
that the other man they might
have married is a self-nurtured
illusion; that the career of their
dreams is not a soft snap and a
Joy forever; but a grueling, ex-
hausting job which might have
worn them out if they had quail
fed for it, which they probably
would have been unable to do;
that they themselves are neither
devastating beauties nor always
charming, but women who are
frequently disappointing and diff
cult to live with. They might dis
cover and admit to themselves
that they are greatly in debt to
their husbands for many things
that make life easier and better
and more worthwhile that they

FRIDAY

AS I have said, the Stow mas
querade is an annual fete. The
first summer after they were mar
ried, twenty-five years ago, Peter
and Matte sent out invitations for
masked party. 1t was so great
success that, thereafter, they gave
one every year; ultimately it be-
came the social event of the sea-
son. This success is in part due to
the fact that Matte and Peter take
such pains to make it so. They
leave no stone unturned to give the
affair glow, gayety, gorgeousness-
picturesque quality of every kind.
The Slows themselves always say
that the success of the party is due
to the fact that we, the invited,
take as much pains as they, the in
viters, to make it so. We are,
am sure, as far as masquerades
are concerned, a rather special
group. We have always enjoyed
dressing up. A dinner party will,
at the request of the hostess, turn
at the last moment into cos
tune affair. No one of us but has
in the attic a trunk crammed with
the costumes we have worn on such
occasions. At house auctions, we
bid feverishly on old clothes, hats,
boots, shawls.
1t is a point of honor to disguise
ourselves from each other as thor
oughly as possible. We keep an in
violable secrecy in regard to our
plans. On the night of the mas
querade, families separate to dress
in alien households and to arrive
at the Stow place at different
times. Husbands fool wives and
wives hoodwink husbands.
