BY LOUS F. KEEMLE Limited Press Cable EditOr)

Today's news from Spain indicat- ed strongly that the loyalists, after months of being the underdog, have at least momentarily turned the tide. Circumstantial reports spread through Europe of diSaffection in the rebel ranks; of mutterings of revolt and many executions to put down incipient revolts. It was also reported that the rebel SpaniardS and their German allies, blaming the Italians for their reverses at Guadalajara and now in the Cor abba region south of Madrid, are pickering with the Italians.
 Drive Collapsed
 Madrid reported that the rebel drive to capture the Almaden mer- cury mines between Madrid and Cordoba had collapsed and that 10000 Italian and German troops were retreating towards Cordoba.

 Ratification of the federal child labor amendment, jury service for won en and establishment of a mer- is system for state employees were among major proposals before the general assembly today as it went into its 18th week. Still to be con- sidered in the remaining 10 weeks before adjournment are nearly 2000 O. the more than 2600 bills submit- ted or raised thus far in committee. The child labor ratification meas ure was considered as good as dead for this session inaSmuch as it was killed by the republican-controlled ho .se.

SUPREME COURT BACKS NEW DEAL
100 Per Cent in Its Favor By DecisiOns-Wagner
 Act Comes Next
BY JOHN A. REICHMANN limited Press Staff COrresDOndent)

 Washington, March 30-(UP)- Opinions reversing precedents and validating New Deal legislation headed the supreme court toward its Wagner Labor Act decision to- day-a decision of vital importance to labor and industry and the out- come of the controversy surround ing the court itself. The Wagner Act cases, remained the most im- portant undecided issue on the courts docket. It appeared cer- tain that the women's minimum wage laws enacted by 16 states and the District of Columbia might be- come immediately operative as a re- suit of the tribunal having reversed itself yesterday to uphold such leg iSlation.
 Many of the provisions of the Wagner labor relations act also were believed sustained as a result of the courts ruling on the railway labor act. The decision was so guarded by limitation, however, that no broad construction could be placed on it.

John s. HOlley, Rural Free Delivery Arrested on
 Parking, Law

Going to court rather than pay $1 for a parking tag he claims he re- ceived unjustly, John s. Holley, 25, of R. F. D. 3, Wolcott,, testified in city court today that there were no signs forbidding parking at the point where he parked his car on Park place last night. After hearing testimony, Judge Edward Mascolo continued the case till tomorrow, promising that in the meantime he would examine the street himself and see if the motorist was right in his claim.
 Took His Chances
 Holley parked his car opposite the Y. M. c. A. on Park place last night, and in his absence a tag was placed on the machine by Patrolman John DeNardo. Before. he took the stand this morning, Holley was warned by Judge Mascolo that if he should be found guilty he would have to pay fine and costs, about $10 in all, whereas if he dropped the case he would have to pay only $1. Holley elected to have his case tried.
 Described Conditions
 Holley described in detail the parking restrictions on the street North of where he parked, he said, there were signs indicating no park ing. Where he actually parked. how ever, he contended, there were no signs of any kind indicating that parking there was not allowed.
 Captain William Duggan of the police department testified that the street is narrow and that parking there is dangerous. He said he was not certain of the location of the no parking signs. At this point Judge Mascolo declared his intention of visiting the scene himself and seeing whether or not Holley was right in his claim.
