 Salamanca, Spain, Oct. 22-(UP) Nationalist shock troops, rolling back irresistibly loyalist wall oi defense, moved on toward Mardid today. They had cleared two ot the three main roads converging on the capital on their front and leaders at the front. Responding to Gen. Francisco Franco's urgent or. ders to speed up the offensive, ar1- nounced that the fall of Fl Escorial was imminent. From Escorial the nationalistS will move southeast ward on the capital, they say; from Navalcarnero which they took yes- terday they will march northeast ward; from Illescas on the Toledo road they will march northward.
 NatlonaIists Concern
 Nationalists believe that the bat tie has been won-their concern is whether the loyaliSts will receive arms from Russia Tn large quanti- ties and will try to defend Madrid from street barricades. By their ad- vances at Navalvarnero and Illes- cas, the nationalists beat their way through what they believe to De the last leftist fortified positions out side Madrid proper - trenches. barbed wire entanglements, dug outs.
 They believe their part is clear now from Illescas and Navalcarner0 and will be clear soon fros Escorial The leftists fought hard to save Na- valcarnero and their resistance brought them heavy losses. But they could not stop the foreign legicn-

Breweries Supply
 Work For 6O,OOO
Pay Annual Wages in Excess of lO7 Million Dollars;
 Data Furnished By Department of Labor

August, 1936, were giving employ ment to more than 46,000 persons whose annual wages totaled about $64, 900, 900. In addition, retail dis tributors employ approximately 350,0O0 persons and it is estimated that about 15O.000 persons have been given employment in manu- featuring and merchandising sup plies and equipment for brewers and their distributors.
 Department of Labor statistics concerning employment and wages in the brewing industry are based on the averages for eleven months of 1888 as 100 per cent, and take into consideration only those per- sons directly employed by brewers.
 Labor Indexes
 The Department of Labor indexes for 1884 were: Employment, 123.s per cent: Payrolls 128.5 per cent For 1885. they were: Employment, 12l.9 per cent; payrolls, 1Sl.S per- cent.
 Calculations based on these in- dexes and made by the National In- Stitute show the employment Of 5000 workers and annual payrolls of $72,O0O, 900 in l933; employment of 62,0OO workers and annual pay- rolls of $92,5O0. 900 In 1884; and 6l,- 900 workers and annual payrolls oi $96, GOO, GOO in 1885.
 The monthly indexes of the De- partment of Labor for 1886 indi- cate that the averages for this year will be considerably higher than for amp previous year. They are consistently higher for each month than for the same month of the preceding year. Both em- ployment and wages in August l936, for example, were 12h per- cent more than in August, 1885.

Washington, D. O., Oct. 22.--Ap> proximately 60000 persons, whose annual wages totaled $l07, ,000, 900 have been added directly to the rolls of the breweries of the United States since real beer was legalize6 in 1883.
 Data compiled by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, United States De- partment of Labor, show that em- ployment in the brewing industry had increased 353 per cent and payrolls had increased 52l per cent in August, 1886, as compared with February, 1883.
 Applying these percentages to its data on the brewing industry, the National Instituet of Manufacturers and Distributors, Inc. finds that they represent 60,OO0 additional em- ployes and $107, ,000,0O increase in annual payrolls.
 700 Rrewcries!
 The total employment in the 700 brewerieS operating in August, 1886, was 76.700 persons whose wages on an annual basis would total $l27,- sO0,O0O. In February, 1888. there were only 164 breweries. whcih were manufacturing near beer, with about lT,00O employees and an ari- nual payroll of approximately $2o,- 500, 0,O00.
 The effect of the legalization of real beer on the unemployment situation, however. Is not com pletely indicated by these data, for the increased employment in the distribution of beer is not included. Wholesale distributors of beer in

Ciuil Strife

Rebels Will Soon Sweep Madrid-Russa to Help
 Loyaists- Germany Italy, Portugal Aid Rebels

Madrid and its left front govern ment. Civilians were turned out into the suburbs of Madrid, with no uniforms and no arms, to drill for fight that leaders would ex- tend into the city streets if the na- tionalists reached the ely. In Lon- don, at the urgent insisence of So- viet Russia, Lord Plymouth, Brit ish chairman of the international committee of non-intervention in the civil war, called g. meeting for tomorrow afternoon.
 Russia To Show Hand
 At this meeting Russia was ex. pected to denounce the agreement on the ground that Portugal, Ger many and Italy had violated it by aiding the nationalists. Russia was expected then to resume its liberty of action-action which everyone believed would mean a desperate effort to get arms and munitions to the loyalists. Any Russian aid to the Madrid government was expec- ted to bring recognition of the in- Surgent nationalists government by Italy, Germany and Portugal. The natural implication would be that the three governments then would aid the nationalists-a race between communist Russia and Nazi-F Fascist Germany, Italy and Portugal.
 Spain World battle-ground Spain became more and more clearly a political battle-ground be- tween totalitarion idea of dictator ship and the contrasting forms of government that run from democ- racieS to the communism of Rus sia. In Paris, France was preparing to aid in mass evacuation of na- tionalist refugees shetered in the embassies of Latin American na- tions. Argentina demanded that the Madrid government reply today on it's request for safe evacuation to France of refugees in the Spanish embassy and the Uruguayan lega- tion. The Argentine ambassador at Paris made the demand to the Spanish ambassador. At the time note was on its way direct from Buenos Aires to Madrid in which Argentina, acting for the Latin American republics. warned clearly, if in polite terms, that slaughter ot the refugees sheltered in embassies and legations-some 200 people in all-might mean that Latin Amer ican nations might join in break. ing off diplomatic relations.
 British Warships Patrol
 British warships patroled the Mediterranean coast of Spain wait- ing for news that an agreement had been reached for an exchange of hostages between the national ists and the loyalistS. There are 5000 nationalist hostages in Madrid prisons and Great Britain fears all might die if the nationalists reach- ed the city gates.
 The military situation at Madrid foreShadowed an early climax to the long, carefully planed campaign by which the nationalistS have reached almost within the environs of greater Madrid.
 Loyalist militiamen essayed small counter offensives. But the nation alists, after a drive yesterday which put them in Navalcarnera. only Is miles from the Madrid sub- urbS. seemed merely waiting for or derS to advance once more.

naires and moors who with the regulars formed the shock units ot the nationalist attack.
 Now, the nationalists believe, the capture of Madrid will be hardly more than a march until the city limits have been reached because they believe the leftists will not have time to ompose more than hastily erected--and easily levelled --barricades on the roads leading in on the capitol like spokes to a hub. Madrid Is completely invested on the northeast, north, west and south. The way has been left open deliberately to the east in hope that the leftists will retreat toward he east coas, without q fight in the streets that would mean national tragedy.

 ''Knifing" RumOrs Heard g
 Watson isn't fond of Landon. The Landonites weren't very respectful to him at the Cleveland convention Reports that Landon is being trad ed down the river for support of the G. o. P. candidate for governor cannot be confirmed, although there's more Republican effort in the gubernatoria' fight than the presidential contest.
 The old hard hitting Republi- can machine has disintegrated considerably under Democratic rule. But a large army of enthus- iastic volunteers, led by profess sionals who have been away from the feedbOx for six years, has been extremely active.
 They find that the waste and extravaganza" issue is the most potent one against Roosevelt, espe- cially in rural areas.
 G. O. P. reports from steel ano other industrial centers, such as Gary, South Bend, Terre Haute Evansville, Fort Wayne, and In- dianapoliS, are not especially en- cLIraging.
 Springer Fights Hard
 Raymond cpringer, first state commander of the American Leg ion, is the Republican candidate fol governor. Tireless campaigner and handshaker, he says h ecan end McNutt's unpopular gross income tax by economies and elimination of alleged beer graft.
 His opponent, handpicked by Mo Mutt is Lieut-Gov. M. Clifford Townsend, a Grant County farmer experienced in politics.
 The "gross income" tax taps practically everyone who receives r:oney for services or goods and amounts to a disguised sales tax, which hits the consumer first as an earner, then as a buyer. The proceeds of about $16,0OO,O00 year go for education.
 Small merchants are making a terrific fight against 1t. The Me Mutt Townsend group insists Springer's election would mean general sales tax.

i Copyright 1886 by United PreSS) London, Oct. 22- (UP) - The Spanish civil war became today the center of world diplomatic anxiety As the nationalists drove inexor- ably on to Madrid, new complica- tions arose which made Spain a source of grave potential danger tc Europe. The fascist nationalists were 45 minutes by motor car from that star of destiny is leading hin toward the White House as a 194( candidate. A leader, a fighter, ar astute politician, a brilliant orator and dictatorial boss over ruthles: political machine, he has built ur 8 nationwide network of contacts as governor, as one-time nationa commander of the American Leg ion, and former dean of the Indi. ana University School of Law.
 RumOrs that McNutt would be given the War Department or an- other cabinet pos. have been cur- rent in Indianapolis, but are not confirmed by anything this writer has heard in Washington.
 McNutt,s critics often refer tc him as a man on horseback" anc many confidently expect him tt appear prominently in any Fascis movement which gets going il America.
 Angle for Veteran Vote
 McNutt and his followers de cided, after he ran as strong ly as Roosevelt in 1892, that Mo. Mutt would gain strength in tht state while Roosevelt would lose So they separated the state anc national ballots. Now they wisl they hadn't,' as Roosevelt appear! much more popular than McNutt.
 Indianapolis is national head quarters for the American Legior and intensive drives have beer made for the veteran vote, whicf probably amounts to about 100000 Republicans are crying that Nc Mutt never went overseas, tha Roosevelt vetoed the bonus, an: that Townsend isn't veteran a all.
 Democrats shout back that

 bonus and t',at they have four
