LABOR READY TO
 BACK PRESIDENT

Washington, Aug. I7.-CUP).- Pro-RooSevelt labor factions for- mally opened a pamphlet campaign to re-elect the president today.
 Following closely upon It's initial convention, at which 1t resolved to back the democratic party with words, votes and money, labor's non- partisan league assembled mass of information purporting to show that tn enew deal has lifted the country from the depression.
 At the same time Q movement concentrated among craft unions in the American Federation of Labor grew under the guidance of William Big Bilr Hutcheson, president oi the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners and republican labor chair man. e.
 This group will attempt to build a strong Landon vote upon the slogan that "a vote for Roosevelt is a vote for John Lewis" Lewis is opposed bitterly by traditional fed- eration craft unionists.

 Guarded Consul

 The diplomatic source said the landing ct Malaga was due to an alleged threat by the loyaliStS against the consul, whom they ac. cused of helping the Quieo De Llano family to escape to Tetuan. The loyaliStS were said to have been holding the family AS hostages.

 Close To San Sebastian
 Two rebel columns moved peris ously close to San Sebastian, From their advance base at Tolosa, they moved north along the highway and the paralleling roalroad to take the village of Andoain. Mopping up quickly there, they entered the vil. lage of Hernanani, barely three miles outside San Sebastian.
 A second column cut the 1ruil. San Sebastian road at Renteria, half way between those towns. But loyAiist batteries prevented them from reaching the fishing port Of PaSajes just to the north.
 Ships In Attack
 The ships attacking the besieged cities included the i0,000.ton Battle- ship Espana, sister ship Of the Jaime Primero. Its complement includes eight i2 inch guns.
 The Espana was two miles ofi shore, huriing shells Into Fort Qua. deioupe on the hilltop overlooking run, and Fort Arabia at San &c., baStian.
 The San Sebastian fort is filled with dynamite and c direct hit might be catastrophe. Hundreds Of political prisoners and hostages are locked inside the fort.
 Count Romanones, former adviser to the king, was said to be among the hostages, having been imprison- cd by the communists when the war ships first threatened to begin Shell- ing, Romanones has been in poor health but refused recent sugges- tionS of the United States and Brit. iSh diplomats to seek safety across the border.
 Townsfolk Fled to Hills
 The ESpana fired nine shells at Fort Guadeloupe, Of which two landed within a few yards of the dynamite magazine. The others fell wide. The forts guns did not reply.
 Hundreds of townSfolk Of the IT, 900 population of Irun fled across the fields to the heights as the shells dropped or the lower slope, only short distance from the first houses.
 Red leaders here insisted that there are 1900 n1onarchiSt and anti Marxist hostages in Fort Guade- loupe, and 1t was inSiStetntly re- ported that many were executed as soon as the warship fired.

 Writers Tough Ride
 A United Press correspondent reached Badajoz from Gaia, on the frontier with some difnculty, the automobile threading it's way slow ly through a tangle of motor cars and trucks of the arriving legion- naire endorsements from the south, come to consolidate the victory and prepare for a march eastward on Madrid. Col. Juan Yaque, of the general staff, told me that within two days q column of 1000 men, which he is organizing, would start for Madrid ito put an end to Span ish marxism." The rebels near the frontier are busy turning back ref. ugees, and arresting suspected loy- alists.
 Streets Destroyed
 Tn the city, the correspondent found many streets partly des- troyed. Houses were wrecked by shells. Bodies lay on all sides in pools of blood which a blistering sun was blackening.
 At the bull ring the rebels were trucks arrived almost momentarily filled with prisoners who held their rounding up loyalists. Cars and hands above their heads.
 No one said . word. No one pro- tested. But all had look of dread as they half jumped, half fell. from the cars. Some were old men, some boys of IA or 13 years.

 Those Offered Places
 Frank Rossi, Louis Ciraldi, Attor- ney Micnael 0alullo and Attorney Pasquale DeCicco are understood to be the Italians offered the rlomina- ton for state representative. Attor. ney 0alullo was also offered the nomination for the judge of pro- bate post More information has been learned about this post. It will be told further on.
 Those offered the nomination for the ofiice of representative have taken the grant" from Chairman Upson with e grain of salt. They have taken the stand tha. the most doubtful places on the ticket have been granted the Italians. AS Q re- suit, no acceptance to Chairman Upson's offer has been registered as yet. Even the republicans concede the 18th to the democrats.
 Judge Meyer For Probate
 As for the probate nomination, Attorney Galullo would have accept- ted 1t but political strategy inter. tered. The Democrat is in possession of very authentic information to the effect that Attorney Edward Sweeney, who announced himself Q candidate for the probate nomina- ton last week, is merely Q blind. Former City Court Judge Theodore V. Meyer, partner of Attorney Oa- lullo, will be the candidate for judge of probate, opposing Judge Dennis J. Slavin, democratic incum- bent, 1t is now apparent.
 Upson May Run
 As for the 18th senatorial district, where the 6. o. ?. steering commit tee Is keeping an open space for c "favorite son., Town Chairman Up- son will be the candidate if former state Senator Lewis S. Reed refuses and when and if Chairman Upson fails in his quest for the congress sional nomination in the fifth dis- trict.

By holding Zaragoza the rebels cut di- rect commun cation between Madrid and the coast and 8 wide detour is necessary. By holding Oviedo, they keep much needed men from other northern fronts.
 It is a fact that the war is stale- mated at present and unless Oviedo and Zaragoza fall. or the rebels ad- vance on Madrid, it may take weeks. perhaps months. for 1t to work It's fateful way out.
