American national defense. This
line runs from Alaska on the north,
to Hawaii in the center, and thence
to the Panama Canal Zone, on the
south.
Eventually it is estimated that
the Tacoma base, to be known Off
cially as the Northwest Air Base, +"
will accommodate about 200 officers
and LOO or 1000 enlisted men.
Tacoma was selected on recon-
mendation of a board of officers
appointed by the secretary of war
to survey army requirements for
air bases and other plants con-

Insurgents
Open Big
Offensive
Capital City Rocked
By Blasts From

MADRID, March 16. (UP)
The Insurgent drive on
Madrid. apparently repuls-
ed temporarily in vital Qua
dalajara sector, last night
opened terrific artillery offen-
sive on the capital, raining shells
into the central areas, killing at
least two and injuring several crit
ically.
The city was in pandemonium in
the sectors where the big Shells
screaming high over Loyalist tren-
ches on the outskirts, smashed into
streets and buildings.
During an interval of an hour
and 40 minutes in the afternoon
II heavy shells burst in the CEN
trail area, spraying shrapnel among
fleeing civilians.
The sudden Rebel bombardment
followed explosion of four mines by
Loyalists in the University sector
where they opened a counter-at-
tack to dislodge Gen. Francisco
Francois forces from entrenchments
in that shell-torn area.
The artillery attack came almost
simultaneously with eXultant gov
ernment reports that the terrific
Fascist offensive on the northeast
front near Guadalajara had been
turned back by troops of the Inter.
national brigade.
According to the military high
command, the thrust of Rebel fore
es spearheaded by 10000 crack
Italian troops, had flattened out in
a rout of the Italians who were
thrown back three miles. The syn
dicalist newspaper Castillo Libre
said $500 Italians were killed or
wounded in seven days of fighting
Thousands of troops of the In
ternational brigade, in sudden
counter attacks, repeatedly swept
the rebels back from Trijueque,
north of Guadalajara, forcing them
out of range of the village which
they had been shelling.

motor vehicle collisions, increased
ll.6 per cent over the 1885 total
of 2,806. Personal injuries as a re-
suit of highway accidents ap-
preached the $4,000 mark with a
reported total of 1926 in 36,3l6
collisions, as compared with A.
078 injuries caused by 33,729 ac-
cidents the previous year.
Pointing out the serious nature
of the traffic accident situation
on rural roads, Ingels said that
kthere was an average of one death
n each six rural accidents, while
the fatality rate of collisions in
cities was one in each nineteen
accidents.
Accidents in rural districts Of
ten occur when vehicles are trav-
cling at great speed" Director In

of impact spells death when less
speed would have caused little

However, such conditions should

Other states with parallel business
improvements experienced reduc-
tions in automobile mortality.
speed of itself does not cause
accidents. But it does cause death.
A recent research by the Depart
ment shows that out of 742 deaths,
two occurred when the speed rate
was low; 238 were travelling up to
forty-five miles per hour and SOL
were involved in speeds in excess
of forty-five miles per hour, or
dwo-thirds of the deaths were

HAUPTMANN
CAPTURE

TRENTON, N. j.. April IS
T.N.SD. Secret records of the
famous Lindbergh baby kidnap-
murder case, buried for three years
in official files in washington, will
be laid before Governor Hoffman
Saturday.
Three ace investigators of the
Department of the Treasury will
hand over the records and give an
amazing inside story OF the cap
ture of Bruno Richard Haupt-
mann. arch maSter-mind of Ameri-
cas- crime of the century.
Reward Involved
Invited by Governor Hoffman
in connection with hearings to de-
termine payment of the $4,000
reward for Hauptmann's arrest,
the officials will present evidence,
which, International News Serv-
ice can state authoritatively, will
show:
FIRST-That Col. Charles A.
Lindbergh, intent on keeping abb
solute faith with the kidnaper,
did not want the serial numbers
of the $50,000 ransom bills re-
tained and only after three
days of insistence by Treasury
officials were the serial numbers
of the bills copied.
Prevented Gunplay
SECOND-That Colonel Lind.
bergh refused to permit police
officials to plant rifle experts
at the scene of the cemetery
pay-off and m achin e-gun
through the legs Of the person
receiving the $50,000 ransom,
thus capturing him.
THIRD-That Coast Guard boats
secretly were so placed as to
make escape impossible for
those on board the boat mel
lie" off Martha's Vineyard had
the kidnapers delivered the
Lindbergh baby as set forth in
the fake pay-off note.
FOURTH-That capture of Haupt-
mann was made possible largely
through use of a 500 personal
reward fund put up by Colonel
Lindbergh, small portions OF
which were given bank clerks in
the Bronx, N. Y, for quick work
in Spotting ransom bills.
Officials Summoned
The three officials who have
heen invited by Governor Hoffman
to appear before him at a closed
hearing are:
Elmer L. Trey, Chief of the In
telligence Unit, Bureau of Internal
Revenue.
Frank J. Wilson, Chief of the
Secret Service, Department of the
Treasury.
A. P. Madden, in charge of the
Chicago office, Intelligence Unit.
All three have been given large
share of credit by Colonel Lind
bergh and officials for their work
in the kidnap case.
Trey, Wilson and Madden, like
all other Government agents, are
not eligible to the reward or any
part of it.
The records show that when fl
nal arrangements for payment of
the ransom were completed, Colo
mel Lindbergh hurried to the Nor
gan Banking House in New York
city and had a package contain
ing $4,000 made up. He insisted
that no bers be taken or
marked bills be put in the package.
Returning to his Hopewell
home, Colonel Lindbergh an
nounced:
81 have made up a ransom,
but nothing has been done to
record any numbers on the
notes. I am going to keep faith
with the kidnaperS because all
I'm interested in is getting my
child back alive"

til her father, James S. Tomlin, q

brother, Henry, called for her late
yesterday.
Fawcett said the girl told him
she left home because her brother
objected to her having dates"
with boys she knew in CharlotteS-
vile. It was feared at first by the
girls family that she had met
with foul play and searching par
ties had been combing the wooded

at me to keep my mouth shut but as long as
had been asked for my opinion I was deter
mined to give it and nothing could have kept
me quiet. So the President learned in full de-
tail Just why was opposed to the treaty.
The Presidents only remark was, well, I
think you are wrong. In my opinion this treaty
may some day help to save civilization"
Lord Balfour came to dinner few nights later
and had the same argument with him about
the treaty. But, as usual nobody paid the
slightest attention to my views and they went
right ahead and signed the treaty. However,
had had the fun of arguing with them about it.
Japan Called Enemy No.
Now hope and pray that my views on the
treaty were entirely wrong and that the states
men in Brussels will find something in it to
check Japan's merciless invasion of China.
Japan, of course, has refused to attend the
conference So much the better!
In her refusal to abide by any rules of the
game, Japan has clearly shown that she is the
WORLDS PUBLIC ENEMY NO. /.
Civilization might be better off if it would
take a lesson from the way that remarkable
man. j. Edgar Hoover, deals with public enemies
When Dillinger and Baby Face" Nelson started
running wild Mr.. Hoover did not invite them
to Washington to sit down at conference and
work out treaty. He sent his G-men out with
machine guns to give them dose of their own
medicine.
Let us all pray sincerely that the nations meet
ing over the treaty may be able through patience
and understanding to accomplish some lasting
agreement which will make it unnecessary ever
to resort to guns in the Far East in the future

man! You can't do this"
Yet that, it seems to me, is
just what the confused leaders
of the Republican party are
doing. Unable to agree among
themselves on the matter of
leader, policy, and what to do,
all of them are pulling their
punches.

fusion in what little Is left of
