None of the quintet is actually on
the White House pay roll, except Mr..
Early. Mr.. West draws his check from
the Interior Department. Mr.. Michel
son and Mr. High from the Democratic
National Committee, a non-govern-
mental organization, and Mr.. Robb
from the National Emergency Council.
Each functions individually and the
group Is in no sense a board Of truS-
tees. The arrangement has been
made man-by-man since Howe's inca
pacitation more than year ago.
Despite talk about appointing a
new official secretary, the arrangement
is likely to continue.
His Word Is Law.
The House leaders refused to 60 to
see the President about allocating
s700, 100000 of the rev relief funds
for P. w. A. They told the Ickes bloc
of congressman that the President
had already informed them he was
against any earmarking of the relief
fund. In return, some of the Ickes
adherents told the leaders they would
not stand for P. w. A. earmarking If
the President was against it.
No better inside incident could
be found to illustrate the ertent to
Which Mr.. Rooseuelt's Dord has
become ldU tDith CongreSs-untl
the election is oUer, at least.
The gossip has been that the new
Tydings Puerto Rican independence
bill was approved officially by Mr..
Roosevelt's cabinet and planted with
Senator Tydings for introduction in
the Senate. That appears to be true,
but the inside events leading up to
the unexpected administration de-
cision have never been told. Briefly,
they appear to be these:
First, Mr.. Roosevelt went down there
and became interested in protecting
island welfare. Then Mrs. Roosevelt
went down and boosted the island
some more. A separate administra-
ton was created for it in the Interior
Department. Large amounts of relief
money were sent there from time to
time.
Nati0naliSts Are Few.
After all this, the Nationalists con-
tinued crying for independence and
an American police chief was mur-
dered Yet the shrewdest of Puerto
Rican observers say the Nationalist
little more than per cent
of the people.
From this set OF facts you might
conclude that the Tydings legisla-
ton is only threat bill, but there
is another factor. II American
sugar and tobacco people get be-
hind it tn the same Dny they got
behind the Philippine independence
racket, they may take the issue out
OF Mr.. Roosepelt's hands and put it
oUer.
Note-This was a good time to
make the move for beneficial effect
upon the coming Pan-American Con-
ference. That appears to have been
q major motive.

the bureau "has solved every kid- naping case on which 1t has per- formed investigative work since enactment of the Lindbergh kid. naping law in June, io32.
 "Sentences imposed have includ. cd 3l life sentences and four death sentences" he said, referring to the 66 Kidnapping cases in which the bureau took part, "in addition to other sentences totaling 2,ll3 years, ii months and two days: three culprits committed suicide: five were killed; six died by murder at the hands of their fellow gang members, and two were lynched."
 Achievements Are Listed
 Hoover's report also noted these achievements of the bureau during the year:
 Recovery of 2,4e0 stolen motor cars valued at 4i, ,026, ,206 in cases in which the bureau took part. He pointed out that since enactment of the National Motor Vehicle Theft Act in October, 1919, Q total of 42,- l2l stolen vehicles valued at $28,- 043,5l5 had been recovered in cases handled by the bureau.
 Conviction of 86 persons under the Federal Extortion Act, approved in July, l032, whose sentences to- taled 40i years.
 Conviction of ,73 persons charged with robbery or attempted robbery of Federal Reserve, WD1C, or na- tional banks, whose sentences to. taled l,l27 years and one life sen- tence. Tn this connection, Hoover noted that due to the activities of the FBI in these cases insurance companies recently announced Q re. duction of 20 per cent in bank in- surance rates in 35 states"
 Location of i,0e0 federal fugitives from justice. Tn addition, he said, 6,73l fugItiveS from justice were found through efforts of the bu- reau's fingerprint Identification division.
 Flngerprlnt Files Expanded
 Commenting specifically on the flngerprint division, Hoover said that on July there were 6,094, ,0i6 sets of fingerprint records on file, of which i,02l, ,047 were received during the 1886 fiscal year.
 Hoover also pointed to creation of the National Stolen Property File, with which he hopes eventually to be able to classify all stolen pro. perty 90 that suspected stolen goods can be identified easily, as one of the important accomplishments of the year.
 Still another bureau activity which earned Hoover's praise was the National Police Training Aca- deny, which conducts schools in scientific crime detection for spe. cially-picked representatives of n1u- nicipal and state police forces.

 Madrid, Aug. l4-(UP)-Rebels and loyalists, their hatred whipped to white hot pitch, fought savagely for supremacy and life in every quarter of the country today. The rebellion had become Q civil war In which the humanizing code of nor- nal warfare was forgotten. Battles were being fought in which dee cisive victory for either side might indicate to which of the factions would go control and the task of shooting of the vanquished. Around Malaga, before San Sebastian, In the Estremadura country, in Zara- goza province, in Teruel province, at Oveido battles of importance were progressing. In provinces all over the country minor fighting, in which the killed numbered perhaps 6 few score, were in progress.
 Expect Decisive Battle
 There was every, indication that both sides expected, after weeks ot rebellion, some action to develop which might prove decisive. Gov ernment leaders said they expected some news of importance to reach them at any moment.
 Their attention seemed riveted on the Estremadura country fighting on the Portuguese frontier. Rebels asserted that Barajoz, the important frontier capital of Badajoz province was about to fall. That would mean that troops from the far south, who are attacking it, might march northeastward to gain con- ! tact with the northern rebel army for Q joint attack on Madrid. But more portentous for Spain than the battles of the day were their nature And the mercilessness of reprisali exacted by each side.
 Prisoners Being Shot
 Reports told of the shooting oi prisoners by both sides, of tht threat that hundreds of prisoner held as hostages would be slaugh. tered in event of an assault by thu other side. Here, 1t was announced offlcially that Gen. Joaquin Fanjul one of the country's leading military figures, would be tried for his iif' in Madrid's model prison at 2 Q. m tomorrow, along with Col.
