MADRID. Nov. 10. (UP)
The battle for Madrid ragged
dramatically, audible b u t
invisible, in the dense wood
ed groves of the Casa Del Campo
today.
The population, after almost l24
hours of shelling and bombardment
in which scores were killed and
about 200 wounded, tensely await
ed the outcome.
In the southwestern, southern
and eastern part of the city, an
ominous silence prevailed. The
cannonading had ceased and the
enemy apparently was reforming
lines for the final assault.
The silence was broken once dur
ing the morning by the shattering
roar of three bombs dropped by
two rebel planes on Delicias Drive
on the southern edge of the city.
Casa Del Campo, large, wooded
park. is on the west, opposite the
center of the city, across the Man.

doomed and that the end was near
There is no longer any hope"
he said.
Fighting continues along the
banks of the Manzanares river as

furiously. There is heavy fighting
on the edge of the city.
But the loyalist artillery is 81

sight.
THE populace appears serenely
awaiting the end
He emphasized that there was no
panic in Madrid The people have
stood up courageously in face of
fire from which there was no pro-

"Flag of the Free"

Flag Day, June IA, is not holiday, so the occasion is not particularly exciting and is celebrated chiefly by the growing custom of hanging out flags. The Daugh- ters of the American Revolution and other patriotic groups have special Flag Day programs, but there is nothing off, cial or compulsory about any of it.
 What is the flag? It is an emblem. It marks the land or building or ship over which it flies as American. The flag itself is made of bits of cloth seWed to- gether in a particular design, chosen by the Continental Congress on June IA, 1777.
 The respect we pay the flag is paid not to the red, white and blue banner, but to the things for which it stands = the government of which every citizen, how ever humble, is supposed to be part; freedom and loyalty to all our American tradition; education and opportunity for our youth. We pay little honor to our flag when we salute 1t if we are not, in our daily thinking and living, supporting these ideals and practices.

torney Arthur M. Brown Of New London is Co be the principal speaker. MT. Brown of New London is Co be the principal speaker. Mir. Brown is the only av0weo candidate for the nomination of governor righ now.
 This desire to get their man right out in the open so early can be understood. There are many republicans right here in Connecticut, leaders included, who don't like the convincing way that Governor Wilbur L. Cross piles up those November pludalities. And SO convinced are they that the democratic standard-bearer is away out in front even before nominated that they won't make much of a fuss over the g.o.p. gubernatorial nomination. If Attorney Brown wants it badly, he'll get it easily.
 And despite claims to the contrary the apparent solidarity of democratic ranks after the spring convention and Water bury harmony dinner of Mayor Frank Hayes is causing no end of concern in circles where in other years there wasn't even thought of lowing to democratic supremacy. We can understand this Hartford dinner at which States Attor- ney Brown will probably make his off, cial bid for recognition. It's necessary, if the Connecticut republicans hope to strengthen their position with the aid of the national ticket, never at any time the favorite of local g.o.p. leaders.

1aboring for nearly Q decade tc launch the beginning of recreation. al development, this commission has worked out, during the past nine months, the most unique plans for launching 6 state activity that have ever witnessed.
 Based upon the simple fundamen- tal that most of Connecticut's over 1,e00,000 residents are proud of their state and desire to bring It's advan- tages to the attention of their friends beyond its borders. the commission has developed for use on packages, correspondence or en- velopes, poster stamps depicting the % outstanding avenues of interest in Connecticut. From the profit or the sale of these stamps to business houses, manufacturers, stamp col. lectors and residents of the state and from the slight additional fund.- to be obtained from the sale of . recreational map, also developed under the commissions supervision to mark the points of recreational and historical interest, 1t is hoped will come sufficient revenue to carry on more detailed research and pro. motional activities. These activities will seek to attract more people tc Connecticut to build year round oi summer homes; or just to enjoy { short vacation in our state, 50 pro. fusely abounding in beautiful lakes sandy seashore beaches, cascadec streams, forested hills, historica landmarks and other features to de- light those who seek rest or active recreation in any form.
 This exceptional cooperative ef. fort, to be actively launched in Jun' and carried on intensively through out the summer months, is worthy of the enthusiastic support of everI resident of the state, individually or as c phase of business promo ton to the end that Connecticu may take high rank among thu other New England states nov profitably encouraging the recrea' tionai industry. Ultimately everI resident and business will benefit if proportion to the success of thu commission in carrying out itl worthy objective.

A Sorry Debacle

Not since Napoleon's retreat from Moscow has there been staged, at least in the political arena of republican conven- tions, as sorry debacle as this weeks fiasco in Cleveland. To put it briefly as ear as newspaper and radio interest was concerned, it didn't even draw flies.
 To begin with Senator Frederick Eteiwer, convention keynoter, got off to such sour start that even the hardest of the republican newspaper die-hards, including the Waterbury American, un- ynercifully condemned it as "fizzle". It must have been worse, or that group of anything to beat Roosevelt news sheets would not have admitted 1t.
 From then on everything was of such pre-arranged variety that even the dele gates were diSgusted with the show. Usually delegate can muster up his enthusiasm every time the band plays. But when 1t struck up Onward Chris tian Soldiers" Wednesday night after Hoover's address that was the last straw. Convention attendants had to abuse the lights and clear the hall. By tonight we ton concluded with everyone singing, "Iead Kindly Light. What the republi- can party should have staged was a Chautauqua.
 And finally what must have been the reaction of the hundreds of high-priced writers, commentators, analysts, small and big-town reporters and will-o'-the- wisps, who announced their intentions of Keeping the hometown folks informed of the big doings in Cleveland this week? Only will-o-the-wisp could cover such a convention, while as for the reporters and special writers, well, it was all in days work = they got paid for it. They should have got bonus to boot. How ever, cheer up, the democratic convention opens in Philly in week or so. That will be another one man show, the only diff ference being the one man by this weeks debacle is as good as reelected = PreSi- dent Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

Democrats are planning to make the night that President Franklin D. Roose- welt is renominated for the presidency of the United States a momentous occas- ion throughout the nation. Simultan- eously in every community where there is an active democratic organization rallies will be launched as the President steps before microphone down in Philadel- phia to broadcast his speech of accept ance to the world. These will be known as nominating rallies and all those par ticipating in them will be characterized as Original Roosevelt NominatorS. They will be sold tickets at $1 per person, thus emitting them to receive certificates of merit from the democratic national com mittee Such widespread response is bound to result in an upward surge Of Roosevelt feeling.

Read 'Em and Weep

This can't be the republican party whose platform we have just been read snR. Surely the Grand Old Party isn't going to the dogs Yet after peruSing the various parts and sections of the plat form which was adopted after Governor Ali M. Landon had telegraphed in his own recommendations we will have to admit that it must be the long-awaited and the much-discussed platform for which the United States was thirsting and upon which it will rest legs wearied by trying to keep up with New Deal exertions.
 So far as party platforms go this one ig probably all right. It's an improve inent on the platform of 1882 in that you aren't exactly mentally unbalanced after reading 1t to the end. With all the pcmposity of which only the republican party was capable up to November, 1882, 1t produced terrible piece of party promises. The lesson was well learned, for we must say that the 1886 edition platform is more to the point and less roundabout.
 Whether this means votes, we don't know. But we'll wager a pretty good cigar against seven and one-quarter size hat that the rank and file of what was once the republican party won't find this platform to its liking. But then the republican party as represented by its candidates - Governor Lapdon and Colonel Frank Knox - isn't the repub- lican party of 1882. We mustn't lose sight Of this fact. While ostensibly lacing the daylights out of the New Deal and Presi- dent Roosevelt this new alliance will be smartly endeavoring to ease itself into the picture as men of progress and vis- ion, too.
 There is sop thrown to the republi- can party of bygone years by reference to the g.op. platform of 1856. This enabled the platform builders to get in their calls to Liberty Leaguers and others to come join the fold. After the Cleveland spectacles, results, and plat form we wonder just where defaulting democrats find themselves. Walking out of the democratic convention won't carry them into the 1886 republican camp by any means. One reading of the plat form sufficeS for this knowledge.

Waterbury wasn't the only city in the state that found soldier graves desecrat- ed when the annual Memorial Day ser vices were planned. Over in New Britain ex-servicemens organizations were irate to discover decorations removed from graves and in general destruction caused. It's too bad that in such land as ours we cannot hold more respect for the de- parted. Anyone who desecrates a grave or any portion of cemetery is mentally unbalanced and deserving of restraint in some institution.

Modernist Painting Finished, Says Critic
 By BRUCE CATION

The modernist movement in painting has run its course and ace complished its purpose. The school" of Cezanne is as much Q thing of history, now, as the "schoop of Raphael. We can, therefore sur- vey the field and see what the movement accomplished, what 1t did to painting, how 1t modified the worlds way of expressing itself with color and canvas.
 So says that gusty art critic, O.. J. Bullet, in "The Significant Mod- erns" (CivIci- -Friede: @4), Q lively roundup of modern artists which will give you an excellent birds- eye view of the whole field.
 MT. Bullet reviews the growth, development, and accomplishment of the modernist school briefly and succinctly-remarking, in passing. that some of the more bizarre cubists were consciously kidding the public, all along--and then pre- sents long, series of thumb-nail biographies and critiques of prac- tically everybody from Cezanne to Van Gogh to Gauguin to Picasso.
 What makes his book really note- worthy, though, is the huge num- Der of black-and-white reproduc- tons of modern paintings in it. A work which depends for it's effect on black-and-white reproduction of a its coloring cannot be altogether satisfactory of course; but 1t is a great deal better than nothing at all, and this book contains upward of 260 such reproductions.
 The way is clear now, says Mir. Bullet. for development of a new art movement. This moment is . pause, a time for reviewing the now- completed uiodernist movement; and 'The Significant Moderns" makes such . review graphic and intellisible.

Nothing quite sounded like bit of little old Connecticut Thursday night when go.p. delegates were whooping it up for Landon out in Cleveland than the voice of J. Henry Roraback coming over the NEG.

But the voice and the familiar pronunci- ation was unmistakably that of Nut megger and 1t was refreshing after some of the other dialects that were coming to this listener through the loud-speaker.
