defense against republican criticisms of the new deal, party organization, and publicity. Under the latter head probably will come discussion of the places and dates for the presidents own campaign speeches, MT. Roosevelt will speak often on his tours, but the trips primarily are to acquaint him with flood con- trol problems in New England and the Mississippi Valley, and the drouth situation in the northwest. Hence his addresses this month will be informal. He probably will make his first major speech in September, as he did in i032.
 COnferees Co Be There
 Among the conferees today, to acquaint the president with drouth problems, and possibly political problems, of the northern midwest, were Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallace and Chester Davis former AAA administrator, now representative of agriculture In the federal reserve system.
 To report the state of party fi- nances were Farley, national execu- tive committee chairman, Frank Walker, chairman of the party A. nance committee, and w. Forbes Morgan, party treasurer. Farley said recently that $2000,000 would finance the campaign he plans; Morgan reported last week that he had nearly $500.000 in cash, at a date when in 1882 the party had q deficit! Walker has said that con- tributions are coming unsolicited to his office.
 Others At Conference
 Others were Charles Nicholson, publicity director for the democratic national committee; Mary DewSon of the committees Women's division stephen T. Early, White House sec- retary; Stanley High, former church periodical editor who is organizing Roosevelt good neighhor league;" Lawrence L. Robert Jr. another secretary, MT, Roosevelt disclosed his concern over the drouth situation by receiving Wal lact and Early ahead of the other Both came from Washington laden with documentary reports.

 Hendaye, French. Spanish Front. fer, Aug. 3-(UP)-spaniSh rebels and loyalistS were dying oil round the cbrnerS of Spain today while the main armies fought Bporadically in the duadarranna mountains for Madrid.
 It was indicated that c battle per- haps unprecedented was going on ct OViedo the industrial center in the northwest. There miners of the AS. turiaS country were dynAmiting their way into the city building by building, dispatches said, in order to permit the main loyaliSt force to storm centers held by rebels. The miners ringed the city and 0viedo's 60,o00 people were prisoners, in efs feet, along with the efilbattled reb- els. Rebels have fortified them. selves strongly and machine guns Spurted fire from buildings all over the city, 1t was reported, but tho miners seemed to be getting in and it was possible 0 slaughter would oc- cur If they took the town. Fires have been started by the explosions of dynamite.
 Rebels Try Attacks
 A little farther east, near the French frontier and Hendaye, reb- els in force were trying to take the little area in the corner which con. tains San Sebastian. Renteria, Pa. sales and Irun. LoyalistS hold these towns in force and their position IS strong. Yet the rebels must do all they can to take them because they mean access both to the sea and to the frontier. If they are taken many thousands rebels will be re- leased for the final phase of the battle of Madrid.
 Tn the northeast, the loyalISt col. umns continued their attack on reb. el held Huesca and their advance toward Zarago2a, which rebels are opposing with unexpected determin- alton. There seemed no doubt that the loyalists were advancing stead. fly and taking village after village as they closed in for Q storm or siege.

The communicated motor cars, filled with armed workers militia, civil guardsmen and policemen that rae. cd through the streets during the early days of the rebellion, with Fl. fles leveiied ct pasSersby, have all but disappeared, aS have the boys and girls who, with rifle and pistol as authority, halted people 50 ei.

 Many DecFees Issued
 President Manuel ASana, in 6 30. ries of decrees over the weekend, empowered the government to take action which, if made permanent as the authorities threaten-would alter the countrys economic sltua" ton drastically.
 First, the ministry of industry was authorized to take control of essen- tial industries and public services.
 Secondly, owners of factories which have been closed during the revolt, or before 1t, were given two days in which to resume produc. ton. Those which are not opened will be confiSeated.
 Thirdly, the government was au. thorized to take control of oil pri. vate charity organizations.
 Fourthly, there was an important decree governing rents. Issue of eviction orders for failure to pay rent was forbidden. Rents of homes and apartments of less than POI peSetaS (about t27) Q month were reduced 30 per cent effective Au. gust i. A moratorium was declared on back rents.
 Fifth the government was er1. powered to study and act on the problem of rewardlng militiamen by liquidating all backrent they might owe.

Their officers, realizing that an example of fearlessness in face of witherin gfire might be needed, took their position ct the edge of the woods, many of them carrying rifles. Bayonets were fixed and the word was given quietly to start.
 Taken By Surprise
 Half walking, half running, on the rough ground the rebels ad- vanced. The loyalists, fortified in buildings in the village including the sanitoria, now deserted by pa- tients and staff. were taken by sur. prise. But as the rebels ap. preached, the alarm was given and there was @ rain of fire from ma. chine gun, rifle and pistol. Those rebels who reached the village spread through 1t, group halting at each building. Then followed the hand to hand fighting in which bayonet and knife were the princi- pal weapons.
 All Over Quickly
 In a few minutes 1t was all over. Fifty loyalists were made prisoners. No estimate was made of loyalist casualties. Those who escaped re- treated outside the town, along the road to the capital, and took posi- tion in the great rocks which serve as Ideal sniping posts, and 1t was against these that rebel moppers were engaged today.

BOSTON RANDOM
 SKEPT|CAL UPON BEES SELECTION
Group of l3,OOO Fans Submitted; 1927 Names
 for Baseball Club
BY FRANK MURPHY United Press Staff Correspondent

Boston, Jan. 3l--(UP)-Boston's National League baseball team be- gan life all over again today as the Boston BEES. a hustling swarm of ballplayers with lots of sting for their sworn enemies and 8 par ticular fondness for the honey that keeps the wolf from the door.
 The doddering Braves, with their head feathers, tomahawks, bows and arrows, wigwams and all, were consigned to Indian heaven follow ing nationwide re-christening contest in which some 13,000 per- sons submitted a total of 1877 names.
 Father Of 9 Won
 Thirteen of the 13,000 offered the winning name and of the group Al- bert J. Redwood, a South Wey- mouth shipwright who got his ex- perience by helping name nine chil- dren of his own, was picked from a hat as the official christener. Rock wood gets a pair of season box seats to the Bees field, hereinafter known as the Boston Beehive. The dozen co-christeners get two tickets for the seasons opening game. Nor man Drawer of Chicago, one of the twelve,' will see the Bees opener in the Windy City instead.
 President Bob Quinn, who stands in imminent danger of being known as the Quinn Bee, permitted the boys who write the stories and draw the pictures of the ballplayers to decide which of an infinite variety of nicknames should be accepted, and IA of 25 assembled scribeS and cartoonists waxed enthusiastic over the brevity of Bees" and the H. mitless ways in which the name can personify an industrious ball club.
 Popped Up
 The writers could envision bean town being transformed into bee town with the Bees swarming over the Lumbering Giants, the Dodging Dodgers or the Punchdrunk Pi- rates, making bee-line for that pennant with the bats of Berger, Lopez ct al providing the sting. The cartoonists, 1t was felt, would have plenty of material to work with, what with Bees in the hive, Bees on the wing, Bees raising bumps on the heads of enemy ball players, Manager Bill McKechnie in the role of keeper of the Bees, and 50 on.
 Boston Bees 1t was, by ma ajor- ity vote, and frankness compels the admission that the metamorphosis wasn't greeted very enthusiastically by the elevator operators, cigar store clerks, vacuum cleaner sales- men, brokerage house gentlemen and corner newsboys who go to make up the average fan. It's going to take @ lot of arguing to put across the idea that the bee is one of the most business-like of crit ters, always hustling, @ bad actor when disturbed, one who makes money while the sun shines. Re- course may have to be made to the volumes the scientist Fabre has written concerning the industry of the busy bee.
 Some Fans "Sour"
 Names which lost out in the final voting were Beacons, Blue Birds,
