was undetermined, but the insur-
gents claimed victory.
The official government radio
announcer, declaring this is the
hour of crisis" confirmed that a
concerted insurgent offensive is
under way.
He even mentioned an engage
ment at Moraleja, which is eight
miles east of Navalcarnero, and
only eight miles from Madrid.
In view of the possibility that
with the loss Of Madrid the gov
eminent army will operate against
the insurgents from Catalonia,
there was much significance to-
day in reports of insurgent de-
featS on the Huesca-Saragosso
line to which the Catalonians
have pushed in three months Of
fighting.
A Madrid government COM
munique said the radicals were
within seven miles of SaragoSSa,
important northern insurgent
stronghold. The insurgents suf-
fered heavy losses in fighting
around Tardienta, northeast Of
SaragoSsa.
Huesca was again subjected to
a heavy bombardment.
French reports say $4,000 in
Surgent troops and $50 airplaneS
have been maSSed on the Island
Of Majorca and the number is
steadily being increased for, it is
believed, an aerial and marine at
tack on Catalonia.

Women, shouting and singing
pleas for their men-folk to join

Forty thousand more raw re-

Insurgents Drive Ahead
On Four Madrid Fronts
Bx THOMAS A. LOAYZA

MADRID, Oct. % Q.N.SO.
Leaving behind captured Naval
carnero and it's scenes of carnage,
the solid lines of Moorish troops
and foreign Legionnaires marched
five miles farther on today-to
within Is miles of Madrid-before
the retreating loyaliStS could re-
form their lines and stem the ad-
vance.
More than 1000 bodies Of rad
ical defenders were found on the
Navalcarnero battlefield, accord
ing to insurgent statements, when
the victorS moved into the Strate-
gic town. The majority were killed
by a heavy aerial commandment,
in which seven government air
planes were brought down before
the infantry marched in.
Advance on ALI Fronts
The thrust beyond Navalcar-
nero, carrying the insurgents alto
gether 1112 miles nearer Madrid,
was part of a perfectly unified
advance all around the Madrid
circle, which served to keep the
lines concentric. Similar fierce at
tacks advanced the insurgent posi-
tionS beyond IllescaS in the south
west, and in the AranjueZ sector
south of Madrid and the EScorial
in the northwest.
Loyalist artillery blew up an In.
Surgent munitions magazine at
Tardienta, forcing insurgents to
retreat with heavy losses. Loyal
lists also counter-attacked in the
Siguenza area, capturing prisoners
and war material. Heavy fighting
continued in the Illescas area,

ropes invisible war" between
Communism and Fascism hurtled
today towards an early climax,
with Britain struggling to prevent
the outbreak Of an open confla-
grafton.
Fascist successes in Spain and
German-Italian union against the
Soviets are combining to force
Moscow into the attitude that it's
now or never" for world Com
muniSm, and Britain fears the
Soviets may endeavor to precipi-
tate a general conflict in the
hope that Communism will emerge
from the chaos of another world

But for the moment the battle
field remains in Spain, where
Russia, according to information
here, Is sending vast quantities of
rifles and machine guns labeled

Barcelona is the destination Of
the arms, for Moscow plans to
back a socialist soviet republic in
Catalonia, which will serve as the
future base for a war to regain
all Spain for the leftistS, authori-

Reich Reply Up

Immediate attention will be

Pressure from the labor party

growing threat of a general con-

summon the committee without
waiting for the replies of Italy

fortified with everything the reds
had. The reds had at least three
or four times as many troops as
the whites and knew this was their
last chance to check the advance
of General Frances men.
Nevertheless, the legion ana

Governor Alfred M. Landon today
appealed to Americans of Italian
descent to unite with all other

tions."
The Republican nominee tele.
graphed the II Hensiero, Italian
newspaper in st. Louis, a message
congraUulating the citizens of Ital.
ian parentage there on the dedi-
cation of a new community hall.
He declared the project represented
"the free enterprise, the un-
Shackled initiative and the un-
trammeled spirit by which our peo-
pie seek and find the finer things
of life under the American system. "
Landon added:
"Our citizens of Italian ex-
traction have rendered valuable
contributions through the years
in making America the nation
it is today. The marvel of it
is that while they were helping
to build America they have
been free to achieve those re.
wards that come to individual
enterprise under the Opportuni-
ties of the American system.
"ThiS new community hall,
with its educational advantages
for the enlightenment of the
community, is a manifestation
of the American way. Now we

The people have decided to
vote for their "Alf" and there's
no two ways about that. They
know him. They like him. They
admire the kind of government
he has given them going on four
years.
There are many other consid-
erationS which indicate the
enormous turnover that will be
registered by Kansas voters on
November 3.
Prominent among them is the
extreme dislike which the Kan
sans have for the character Of
the campaign that has been
waged by the New Deal against
Governor Landon and upon them
selves as well.
Farley's Mistake
James A. Farley first incensed
the people here when he con-
teinptuously referred to Governor
Landon as just the governor "of
a typical prairie State" Coming
from the lips of man they re-
gard as being "smart-alecky." they
felt this characterization of them
was derisive.
The pioneer spirit still exists
among the Kansans. They dig a
living out Of the soil by hard
work, and they are not in a
mood to hear either their State
or themselves traduced by flip
phrases.
Next was the attack by Harry
L. Hopkins, who said that Ian
don was willing to see people go
hungry so long as the budget
could be balanced. knowing Ian
don we'll, the Kansans look upon
him as a generous, humane man
who is genuinely interested in
the welfare of his people. They
knew, too, that Kansas stood
high in the list of States in pro-
viding relief for its unfortunate
citizens.
Attack on Schools
The third attack offensive to
KanSans was contained in the New
Deal propaganda that Landon had
closed several hundred schools and
thus denied education to the chill
dren. The Kansans know, first,
that it is not Landon but the local
school districts which have charge
Of the school system and that, sec
ondly, Landon prevailed upon the
legislature to enact a law which
would enable them to consolidate
some Of the smaller schools in the
interest of efficiency and economy.
AS the result, competent educa-
ton for Kansas children has been
supplied on a broader scale.
