vanced one mile towarcs Pasajes, the deep water port of San Sebas- tian.
 Rebels Turn to West
 The rebels at once extended their attack to the west, and fighting broke out at Pasajes, the fishing port half way between Irun and San Sebastian. Capture of Pasajes would cut off all means of escape from San Sebastian by sea and 1t was be. lieved the loyalists there would abandon the fight. Ortega Gutierrez, civil governor of San Sebastion, fled to France.
 Carlist volunteers, red bereted, and foreign legionnaires,, stripped to the waist, led the attack on Irun that broke the loyalist defense. Be- hind the carlists and the legion men were bearded turmanned Moors, mopping up, with rifle, grenade and knife, killing all in their path.
 Flames licked up from buildings fired by incendiary grenade, incen- diary artillery shell, and dynamite mine.
 
 Six hundred anarchist and coln- munist workers made last stand at the Bidossoa river bridge. They were all that were left of 10000. Group by group the green, exhaus- ted militiamen, 10 days under a sav- age attack, had broken during the morning and fled to France, many wounded.
 Ammunition Out
 At noon their ammunition gave out, and the 600 fired their last shots as they stood, back to the river, at the Bridgehead.
 Almost no prisoners were taken. The rebels as they moved forward killed every man remaining who held a gun, whether he was fight ing, running away or trying to sur- render.

 When the diners left, MT. Roose- welt turned to consideration of the drouth problems of Minnesota and Wisconsin.
 He received singly the delegations headed by Gov. Philip F. LaF'ollette of Wisconsin and Gov. Hjlnar Pe- terson of Minnesota.
 These conferences completed the series of drouth discussions which began soon after the president ar- rived at the Iowa capitol building accompanied by Gov. Clyde Her. ring of Iowa, his host.

 Trouble In Hartford
 Hartford, Conn, Sept. 4.-UP).- An investigation into the authen- ticity of nearly 2,00O signatures on a union party ballot petition was be- gun as protests rom voters who claimed their names were forged poured into the office of Mayor Thomas J. Spellacy. The third party petition was filed with the town clerks oflce, preparatory to be sent to the secretary of state. It was not long after, Mayor Spellacys ofnce said. that complaints started com ing in. Timothy A. Sugrue, a plumb CT, was among the first to charge that his name was forged to the third party list. John J. Godfrey, union party candidate for congress from the first district, said he would obtain an afildavit from Q canvaSser who is said obtained Sugrue's sigma ture. Governor Wilbur L. Cross was informed of the situation.
 Registered Elsewhere
 Many of the signers include reg istered democrats and republicans. One of them is Mrs. Helen c. Bills boro, sister of State Moter Vehicle Commissioner Michael A. Connor, a democrat. Mrs. Billsboro could not be reached for comment. As regis- trars of voters began checking the lists, 1t was revealed that many names were set down with the last last name first, as on the voting lists. Many who scrutinized the pe- tition said a similarity of hand writing was apparently in many cases.
 Three separate petitions, each con- taining 1856 names, were filed with the town clerk. The first seeks a place on the ballot for presidential electors, the second for 8 congress sional candidate from the first dis- trict and the third for a congress" man-at-larc Godfrey said all the signatures were obtained with the greatest care. Outside of filling in an occasional address of signer, who neglected to do so, he said, all names were written down by their owners.

bigger scale than that at Irun.
 Rebel planes again did not bomb Madrid this morning.
 At noon on Thursday the Rebel rifle and machine gun fire inten- sified but the Loyalists frustrated rebel attempts to reach the railway or to take possession of the high way between OropeSa and Puentex Arobispo.
 Meanwhile, the loyalist artillery was intensely active, backed by i6 Loyaiist planes which for hours dropped e curtain of fire while Lcy- alist machine guns blaBed at the enemy lines.
 By nightfail Thursday, the Reb- els still had failed to outflank the Loyalists. Casualties were reported to have been heavy.
 Madrid. Sept. 4-(UP)--A new left coalition government was form ed today under the leadership of Largo Caballero, socialist leader. The new government Is composed of six Socialists. two Communists. one member of the Republican Union, one Catalan, two Leftist Re- publicans and one unnamed Basque. No members of the National Fed- eration of Labor were included in the new government, which pre- sumably will replace that of Gener- al Jose Giral Pereira.
 Composition of the new cabinet is regarded as showing definite move toward the left by the Ma drid government. Since the out- break of the revolution extreme Leftist clements have struggled against their more conservative colleagues for control of Madrid. Caballero for years has been @ leader of the Socialist party. Its platform calls for socialization of production and confiscation of large estates of the landed gentry.

 force the Rebels in the duadarra- ma mountains north of Madrid, where there has been stalemate for weeks.
 But the government was more concerned with the situation about the capital.
 The biz Rebel column from the Estremadura country still was mak- ing It's way toward Toledo, south of Madrid, and the capital itself. A Rebel announcement of the cap- ture of Talavera west of Toledo, and admission by the government of the loss, served to place the Reb- el position many miles behind their previous claims.
 It seemed that their main force was still far from Toledo and Ma drid, and indications were that the Rebels would meet stiffer and stiff fer resistance. Also, from the gov- ernment view, 1t was likely that the Rebels, on flat Terrain, would be open to airplane bombing. The Rebels, on the contrary, saw the A flat country as a parade ground to Madrid.
 Premier Jose Giral Pereira and high officials of the army and po- litical parties consulted yesterday with Gen. Jose Riquelme. command ing Loyalists in the Toledo Talave. ra area on strategy and tactics.
 Government leaders seemed to mean their confident predictions that they would stop the Rebels there as they did in the Guadarra- mas.
 It was announced that reinforce ments were being dispatched to Ta- layera where. it was asserted, Loy- alists were still at the towns gates.
 Fight On Bigger Scale
 Reports from both sides indicated that actually the fighting was on 8

 First Incident
 The first incident to arouse suspi- cion occurred while governess and her suitor were seated in the latter's car on one of the lanes bordering the estate. A person dressed in fern- mine clothing but believed to be a man came to them and asked where the gardeners cottage was.
 The couple pointed the way and thought little of the incident, but when the suitor was driving away a little later he was startled when his headlights flashed on a group ot about four men.
 The strangers ran into shrubbery off the road and the governess' boy friend, whose name was withheld, hastened to Beverly Farms to get Policeman William c. Campbell. He in turn notified police headquarters at Beverly, of which Pride's crossing and Beverly Farms are sections. Soon a squad of seven or eight officers was on the scene under Sergeant James ?. Mccarthy.
 Hunt for the providers continued about three hours without avail. It was abandoned ct daybreak.
 The governess and her boy friend told investigators that the stranger who approached their car had q flashlight. They were sure 1t was a man in women's clothing. Although the stranger inquired the way to the gardeners cottage, 6 check showed that no one called there early today.
 Except to confirm the report that strangers had been seen on the estate, members of the 0uardabassi household would say nothing Of the supposed attempted Kidnapping Countess Guardabassis mother, widow of the late William Wood, has Q summer home @ short distance away.

and O'Neill as to their qualifications. She will complete the cl.eckup of names on each petition in the order in which they were turned in. The Puckey petition had sufficient names a few days ego to assure the local man of @ place on the voting ma chine. The O'Neill petition was orig finally filed before that of the Puckey one but 1t contained only 25 names. A total of S63 names Is reed- cd to make the petition legal.
 MT. Puckey followed through quickly with series of signed peti- tons that very soon brought his to- tal up over the required 863 total O,Neill's total to date is slightly over 1900. The Puckey petition bears names much over that total.
 Up to Secretary of state
 Town Clerk Egan said she would leave the decision as to who will be placed on the voting machines up to Secretary of State 0. John Satti After petitions are checked as to the reliability of names they are turned back to those who present them. The petitioners themselves must then present them to the secretary of state. It is believed that the lat ter will give precedence to the first petition registered with him. The check work on the Puckey petition has reached its conclusion, practi- Cally.
 Rasmussen Petition
 On the petition of Rasmussen to be placed on the voting machines in tho 18th district for the office of senator on the union ticket were 2, names. Only about ll2 names were needed. There was Q similar number of names on the Overton petition in the 18th district. Less than 200 names were necessary.
 Town Clerk Egan said that all pe- titions filed were time-stamped and

 From House to House
 From house after house, they broke, stormed their own men guarding the bridge and backed their way across to France. \ Behind them the communist and anarchist workers fought thier own comrades the Basque nationalisw and the rebels too.
 I could see the weaker ones head disappear from windows. Then they came, running from the doors Of houses, panting, paniced, into France to join the women and chil- dren who had fled through the riafa at the opening of the attack m night clothes, carrying bundles Of household goods.
 "Only Q few of the anarchists and communists are still attacking" one said. Tt is Q slaughter. It IS terrible"
 Moors, foreign legionnaires, Carl- ists, were advansing against the defenders. Now they were huriing hand grenades ahead of them. Al- ways before them the rebel artillery in the hills, guns nosed up to d. low for the advance, keep putting incendiary shells into the part of the town the loyalists still held.
 Anarchists and com m Il n iSts threat to shoot themselves any man who broke ranks. It was hopeless. Men ran from the barricades and across the bridge.
 As I write there are 600 militia man, including six battalion chiefs, and four political leaders--i1iem iempers of the defense committee, on the French side. The bridge is clcgged with civilians and militainnen.
 The Bay of Fuenterrabia is dot- ted with tiny boats taking refugees to France. The little government torpedo boat No. 8, constituting the loyalist fleet, is steaming to sea--a rebel fleet is reported approaching. AEnongfi the refugees are many wounded. French police have taken over an empty building in the cel1- ter of Hendaye and converted 1t into an emergency hospital. Already there are 200 wounded in it, militia men and civilians. More are arrtv- ing in motor trucks and boats.

 Lay Dead Near Church
 A little while before, about three miles from this new war front, we passed a village S5 small that it Is nameless in my field maps. Eleven villagers, men, women and children, lay dead against the wall of a church. Each had been shot in the back.
 On1cers of the column, which I am accompanying by virtue of special pass of the rebel general staff that permits me to be the only foreign war correspondent on this front, told me that the dead people were peasants and that they had been slaughtered a few hours ago as the loyalists withdrew.
 Lieut.. Col. Arce, white with anger, ordered attachments of dismounted cavalry and volunteer foot troops to press ahead as fast as they could and occupy as many villages as possible, before loyalist execution squads could do their work.
 Cowardly Savagcs
 Arce said to me: "These red sav- ages are doing the best they can to intiinidate us. But they can only rouse my men to anger. They are cowardly. They find courage only when advancing in large numbers against inferior forces.
 Among their dead we have found convictS from Barcelona prisons and the worst clements of Barceolna slums-pickpockets, white slavers.
 "These people prey upon the coun- tryside, pillaging, raping, killing anyone with property.
 Typical of the treacherous meth ods they use was the killing of popular insurgent commander, VeleZ on the Teruel front (to the south) a few days ago. A small band of reds carrying 8 white flag advanced from the enemy lines. One called to Velez, saying he had formerly served under Velez and wanted to surrender. VeleE went out to him with hands outstretched, to embrace him. The soldier pulled @ pistol and shot Velez dead. Velez' soldiers, who saw this, immediately rushed out and killed 70 reds, including the chief known as Pancho Villa"

 Rome, Sept. 4.-(UP).-Pope Plus today urged Q great crusade of prayer" for the church and man. kind, particularly for strife-torn Spain.
 The holy father urged the appeal for devine guidance in addressing 600 Italian Franciscan fathers whom he received today.
 We must pray for Spain," he said, where brothers are killing brothers and where a carnage of souls Is occurring amongst sacril- ageous and horrible rnassacres. His holiness said this crusade of prayer would represent "a tremend- ous promise for Q better future amidst so many evils which are af- fiicting the church and the entire world"
 He exorted the priests to pray for Spain and "the church and na. tions of the entire world which at this time are in 8 turbid, stormy, menacing state."
