FASCISTS NOT

TWO DICTATORS TO
BROADCAST TUESDAY

BERLIN, Sept. 27.-(UP)-
Amid thunderous cheers of a mil
lion Germans, Premier Mussolini
Of Italy and Reichsleader Hitler,
the two dictators who have pro-
mulgated a Bcrlin-Rome axis for
the enforcement of respect of
fascism's strength on the CONT
nent today, entered the capital on
their respective trains in triumph
after Hitler had shown Mussolini
a view of the mighty ornaments
being turned out at the Krupp
works at Essen.
Their entry followed a confer
ence in the field at Mecklenberg
where the Italian premier saw
come of Germany's finest troops
staging war games, with which
Mussolini was said greatly i'm
pressed.
Reports and intimations given
out during the period that the
army maneuvers were being seen
showed that:
/. Hitler and Mussolini have
decided to reject Anglo-French
demands for the withdrawal of
their volunteers from Spain.
2. That while it is impractic-
able to withdraw these "volun-
teers," Hitler, already cooled to-
ward further abetting the ma
tionalists in the Spanish war, eau
toned Mussolini against sending
further men into the field.
Hitler is said to have warned
Mussolini that France still has a
trump card" the opening of her
to volunteers and sup
plies for loyalist Spain,
Important pronounc m e n t S
from the two dictators who were
greeted by a million people in
Berlin today are expected to be
made Tuesday, when both OF
them will broadcast here.

Japanese warplanes took advan-
tage of sunny skies to resume
bombing activities on many fronts
today.
Three planes bombed Chinese
positions near the Commercial
Press building and the North Sta
ton here. The terrific explosions
shook the entire downtown section
of Shanghai and caused thousands
of persons along the Marking road
and elsewhere to flee in the be-
lief that bombs were falling in
the international Settlement.
Heavy Japanese artillery pound
ed Liuhang and Tazang, west of
Shanghai. At Tazang Chinese anti
tank guns and machine guns have
slowed the Japanese infantry drive
to a standstill.
Every available truck in Shang-
hal was pressed into use to trans
port foodstuffs from the Hongkew
and Yantsepoo districts for refu-
gees.
The Garden bridge was jammcd
and trucks were lined up four
deep for four blocks as Japanese
marines slowly inspected each car
go.
Despite the urgent need for
foodstuffs, Japanese authorities al.
lowed only two days-Sunday and
Monday-for the movement. 1t
was expected that many trucks
never would clear the bridge. Yes

Paris Expects Sharp Reply
From Italy on Spain

PARIS, March &c 0N.SD.
Italy will reply sharply to French
proposals for an Anglo-French
note of protest to Premier Mus
solini, the newspaper LIE Jour re-
ported today, as France showed
willingness to forego the initiative
in raising the question of inter-
vention in Spain'S civil war before
the League of Nations.
Italy will reply to the French,
said the paper, by bringing before
the non-intervention committee in
London documents and photo
graphs charging Russia with trans
porting, via the Bosphorus, tanks,
artillery, airplanes and munitions
for the Spanish loyallsts.
II Duce's government also will
charge, the report stated, that the
steamers Bolivar and Carmen
reached Spain March IA loaded
with Swiss munitions, the steamer
Ampurdan March 7 with Czech
machine guns and munitions, and
the Vicente de la Roda March 18
with Belgian munitions.
Meanwhile, France is willing to
urge the Spanish loyalist govern
ment to refrain from bringing the
foreign-troop question up at &C.
neva "if there are no further
italian infractions of the non-inter-
Vention accord" it was stated here.
It was believed here Italian Am
bassador Dino Grandi in London
may soon receive new instructions
avowing Italy's willingness to dis
cuss the new question" of with
drawal of volunteers from Spain.
Such discussions, it was believed,
would be held through diplomatic
channels. England, France, Rus
sia, and Germany are believed like
ly to acquiesce to this idea.

MADRID, March 26 QN.So.
While insurgent and foreign Fas-
cist armies were employing all
their reserves on the Madrid.
Guadalajara front, loyaliSt forces
today launched a surprise attack
on the weakened insurgent col.
umns on the south seacoaSt.
Wrestling Monte del Tore from
the army of Gen. Gonzalo Quiepo
deLlano, the loyalistS advanced
to within quarter mile of Mo-
tril, where they placed artillery
in dominating positions, a Valen-
cia bulletin said.
The loyaliSt move marks a coun-
ter-offenSive against Gen. Quelpo
de Llano's forces, which had taken
Malaga, but halted their drive
along the coast towards Almeria
when Generalissimo Francisco
Franco urgently called for rein
forcements on the Madrid front.
Heavy losses were inflicted on
Insurgents in Cordova province
after a military train met with
disaster, Valencia reported.
The train of 35 cars was derailed
as it was crossing the Guadal-
uuivir River at Montoro, 20 miles
northeast Of Cordova. Loyalist
pilots spotted the wreck, and at
tackled it with bombs and machine
guns,
