U. 5. ATTORNEY
 BUTLER SPEAKS

Hartford, Conn, Sept 26.-OP)- The MIRA was credited today by U. S. Attorney Robert P. Butler with having started us forward along the road to recovery" in 1883.
 He charged "the millions of work CTS on relief, the millions of unem- ployed,, know that the MIRA passed by the Roosevelt administration was the first ray of hope that the de- presSion was over"
 Butler, speaking under democratic state committee auspices in broad cast last night said there are two groups in the country bitterly op- posed to policies of the New Deal --big business and radical elements
 Their members" he said, "hate President Roosevelt with a hatred so blind and so bitter that they can see and admit of nothing good coming of his administration at Washington"
 Between the two groups, Butler said, lies the great middle class which comprises the bulwark of New Deal support.

President Of Spain Makes
 Plans To Flee His Country

America. It was made plain that political affiliation, even of the most extreme elements, would make no difference.
 Acting Foreign Minister Rafael s Castillo announced the appeal or the Madrid officials. The aggravation of the situation at Madrid, CaStilic told the United Press, impelled the officials to make their appeal to the Argentine embassy t Madrid, whence it was flashed to Buenos Aires. Castillo at once wirelesSed the embassy to extend its aid m- stintingly to Spanish loyahst om- cials. He informed the ministry or marine, and asked that thu cruiser be advised. The ministry of marine radioed Commander Miguel Ferrey- ras of the Vienticinco de Mayo l25th Inf May. date of the Argentine De- clar of independence from Spam) and Ferreyras wirelessed pacK' Standing by.
 The cruiser has been in Spanish waters since the early days of the civil war, when l. was sent rom hero to embark Argentine refugees and protect Argentine interests News of the appeal to Argentina caused tremendous excitement here Crowds poured into principal streets as the newspapers, according tc their custom, sounded sirens to cal attention to the;r bulletins on the story, and extra editions were soor on the. streets.

Buenos Aires, Sept. 26-(UP)- The Argentine cruiser Vlentlclnco de Mayo waited of Alicante, Spain, today. to embark President Manuel Azana and other high officials or the Spanish government. Permis- sion was sought from Argentina, and obtained, for the officials to flee on the Argentine cruiser if cir cumstances, and the question oi personal safety. made 1t necessary for them to leave Spain. Members of prominent loyalis families, in- cluding those of cabinet ministers and some cabinet ministers ard de- nartment heads themselves were expected to board the ship.
 It was indicated that, for the present, the hard boiled socialist co-leaders of the government, Fran cisco Largo Caballero, premier ano war minister, and Indalecio Prieto minister of air and marine intended to stay and direct the light against the advancing rebels. But the re- quest was taken here to mean that the end of the civil war was near and flight of the chief men of the government was expected unless the rebel drive was stopped, for the al- ternative to flight was certain death In agreeing to take care or any who wished to flee, Argentina ex- tended to the mother country from whom it won its independei. 12t years ago, the right of asylum which is a recognized principle in South

 Scaffolding Fell

The plaintiffs claim that a routed and defective rung on a lad der caused the .scaffold to give way, hurling them considerable distance to the ground.

 Claims of Each

.LONCSHOREMEN MAY HAVE TRUCE

San Francisco, Sept. 26-(UP)-A truce which would delay 8 national maritime strike from next Thurs day to Oct. l5 seemed possible today as Longshoremen's union leaders and employers met in @ conciliatory mood. As employers and the exc cutive committee of the Interna- tional Longshoremen's association met to consider their differences, civic interests and the federal gov- ernment exerted strong pressure to make this preliminary discussion produce peace, or at least a truce to afford more time for arbitration.
 Suggestion that the present work ing agreements, which expire Sep tember 30, be extended until Oct, Is, was made by the union leaders. While accepting the invitation to meet today and discuss the issues. the employers committee made 1t plain it was not retreating from its original demands.
 While the issues under discussion today threaten the most serious la bor dispute on the Pacific Coast since the San Francisco general strike of 1884, wages is no ta major issue.

 His engagements for the day dis closed that he has turned himself whole -mindedly to his campaign TOT reelection, and that his first con- cern is that he shall carry his home state.
 The only visitor from out of the state was Walter Cummings of Chi cago, former treasurer of the demo- cratic national committee.
