UNITED PRESS CABLE EDITOR


The military situation in Spain
today found the rebels strongly on
the offensive, but meeting with
stout and stubborn resistance.
The main theater of war was in
the Irun-San Sebastian area on the
north coast, where the rebels were
making a supreme bid for a victory
which would permit them to throw
their forces in with the army in the
Guadarrama mountains for a
march on Madrid.
The issue was much in doubt.
Harold Ettlinger, United Press cor
respondent observing the battle
from the heights on the French side
of the border, reported the rebels
in the second day of their attack
were unable to make headWay and
the battle apparently was a stale
mate until one side or the other
gets sizeable reinforcementS.
The most accurate, first-hand
information was coming from the
Irun sector, where facts can be as
certained by first hand observation
and dispatched from the French
side of the border without censor
ship.
1t was difficult to ascertain the
exact situation in the provinces
south of Madrid. A government
decree declaring a war zone in To
ledo and Ceceres provinces could
be construed as a tacit admission
that the loyalists were not doing so
we'll.
Elsewhere in the country, eX-
cept at Oviedo. wnere the loyalists
are engaged in a stubborn siege
which began almost at the start

On New Deal With

BUFFALO, N. Y, Aug.
27. (UP)-Gov. Alf M. Lam
don climaxed his first cam
paign swing into the east
last night with a stinging at
tack on the New Deals spend
thrift generosity" its heritage of
debts and mortgages" and its
"cockeyed" tax legislation.
THE time has come" the Re-
publican presidential nominee told a
crowd of 10000 persons gathered in
this lakeside baseball stadium, ito
put an end to these policies.
1--WE must establish system of
simple, honest bookkeeping. We
must return to the principles which
we follow in handling our own fin
ances-that is my pledge to the
American people,
The sky was overcast and a ;old
wind blew in from the lake 40 the
big Landon rally and parade-a
prelude to the speech at the base
ball stadium-got under way. There
was a threat of rain in the air and
the temperature dropped to an
uncomfortable point.
Throughout the speech, the Kan
sas governor struck in bare-knuckle
fashion at the Roosevelt admins
tration's policies in connection with
federal expenditures, hidden taxes
on food and necessities, increase of
the proportion of taxes paid by per
sons with small incomes, careless,
ill-advised legislation-that protects
the big fellow and ties a milestone
around the neck of the little fellow"
He promised, if elected, to seek
repeal of the 1896 corporate tax
bill.
Opening his attack on the corpor-
ate tax bill, Landon said:
ut is making harder and harder
the unemployment of many of
those at present out of work and
it is jeopardizing the job of every
man and woman who today is work
ing for a business corporation.
Let made add the revision of
this bill is only one of the changes
needed in our tax system. Our
whole tax structure, federal and
state needs overhauling."

alton for piling deficit on deficit"

grave Nippon British complications
through the implied threat upon
England's Pacific stronghold, Sing

"The moment will come when

Sir Frederick said in a prepared

"Then no longer will the British
dominions of the South Seas be able
to congratulate themselves that the
preoccupation of Japan in north

For all the powers concerned,

Awfully Sorry
Note to Herbert Lowdermilk, in
spector, and members of the elec-
tion board, Ell Centro precinct No.
5, as well as to one or two other
election boards: RR owes an apollo
gy or two because, in his zeal for
correction of election board meth
ods before the November election,
he included all election boards in
the statement that returns were
counted in every imaginable way.
Chat, by the way, includes the le-
gally proper way, thought The
truth is that there we're a few
although very few-boards which
did follow proper procedure. RR
merely didn't want the majority to
be lonesome, so if the No. 5 pre-
cinct board, and couple of others
will be big hearted, RR will not
make it embarrassing for the others
by listing the improperly proceed
ing boards. And thanks, Herb, for
your good intentions, and for your

When a man says "Bl a C k

refreshing relief it brought in con-

because it is simple, herb laxative, so
natural in composition and action that
thousands and thousands of men and
women prefer it when a laxative is
needed. ADVERTISEMENT.
