The Federal government, which
has been very diligent in the estab-
lishment of departments and bureaus
to instruct the citizenry how to do
everything from planting rhubarb to
making toy animals out of pipe clean
ers, has overlooked an important
item: the general public does not yet
know how to fold a road map.

maps we have had occasion to use
have been absolutely correct except
those along the route we were travel
ing.

This is not the general public's
fault, for the average road map is con-

An almost ceaseless battle has been
under way here for three days, dur

Arganda Is IS miles southeast OF
Madrid.
Repeated insurgent raids have

be held here on the road proper, but
from bluff about 200 yards away
the insurgent forces continued to
sweep the pavement with machine
guns and rifles.
From an observation post a quarter
of a mile west of Arganda, shells
from the government artillery could
be seen bursting near the enemy po-
sitions. The guns roared constantly.
Bombing Planes Appear.
Suddenly six tri-motored bombing
planes, escorted by IA pursuit ships,
appeared from behind q barrier Of
cliffs and observers took cover under
olive trees. AS the ships sped over
head, an officer shouted, They are
going to bomb Arganda! Keep q
sharp eye out. Ours will soon be

After few tense moments q series
Of explosions could be heard from
the direction OF Arganda. Then the
insurgent squadron swung around and
head back towards the bluffs.
But before 1t could get away IS
government planes loomed into view
from the other side of Arganda and
started an aerial attack on the in

JURY IN wendell
CASE DISCHARGED
RetriaI Set for March | After
Judge Criticizes Failure
to Agree.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK. February 13.-The
jury which tried two of five men &C.
cused Of forcing Paul H. Wendell to
confess a crime he never committed
the Lindbergh kidnaping-was dis
charged today after failure to reach
. verdict in 20 hours Of delibera-
ton.
Thus the strange case of Wendell,
who said he was abducted and tor
tured into "confessing" the Iindbergh
kidnapping shortly before Bruno Rich
ard Hauptmann was put to death as
the real kidnap-murderer, remains
legally unsolved.
Dismissing the Jury with sharp
criticism of it's failure to agree Judge
John j. Fitzgerald set the retrial of
the present defendants, Martin
Schlossman and Harry Weiss, 70,
March /.
Schlossman, Weiss. Murray Blee-
field, Ellis Parker. ST., and his son,
Ellis Parker. jr., all are under indict-
ment for the abduction of Wendell.
Bleefeld Pleaded Guilty.
Bleefeld, before the case went to
the jury, elected to plead guilty. The
Parkers have not been brought into
this jurisdiction for trial because OF
the refusal Of Gov. Hoffman Of New
Jersey to permit extradition.
All through the trial q defense ef-
fort was made to picture Weiss and
Schlossman as the ignorant dupes OF
Parker, ST., Burlington County
N. j., detective.
He was, said counsel, the "master
while Weiss and SchlOssman stood
here ION the short end Of an in
dictment."

Judge Chides Jury.
Judge Fitzgerald, saying it seemed
"inexplicable that an agreement coulc
not be reached" added to the jury
as he ordered its discharge:
This case is of extraordinary i'm
portance and it is matter Of great
public interest not only because ol
the innocence or guilt of the de-
PENDANTS, but as a notice to the worlt
that no one, regardless Of their posi-
ton, can permanently bar the proper

RULING URGED
ON JOB TAX

The Government today joined

request to the Supreme Court for

ance tax provision Of the social
security law.
The high court is expected to
grant the petition for review on
Monday and order early argument
so that a decision can be handed
down before it adjournS for the
summer on June /.
The issue was brought to the
high court by the Charles C.
Steward Machine Company, an
Alabama corporation, which paid
a tax of $46.l4 and then sued to
recover in the Northern District
Court of Alabama. Failing there,
it appealed to the Fifth Circuit
Court az New Orleans, which up
held the Federal tax. A memo
randum filed by Stanley Reed,
Solicitor General, said:
"While we believe the decision
Of the Circuit Court Of Appeals
is correct, it Is of the greatest
public Importance that the valid
ity of such taxes be definitely
settled as soon as possible.
"The issue directly affects

Ian SING, Mich, March q
Q.NS0.-John l.. Lewis, C. I. o.
chief now negotiating with the
Chrysler Motor Corporation, al.
ready has mapped his campaign
Of attack on the Ford Motor Com
pany.
Moreover, his plan does not even
contemplate the possibility of fail.
ure. Lewis believes he can take"
Ford as he insists he took General
Motors and will take Chrysler.
Lewis program does not con-
template a thorough-going cam.
paign of organization within the
Ford plants. He knows, according
to his closest associates, that he
has no organization within the
Ford plants.
Force as Persuader
The plan, briefly, visualizes the
assembly, outside of and around
the Ford plants. of 100000 to 300,-
900 members of the United Auto
mobile Workers Union, when Lewis
gets ready to move in" on Henry
Ford. Lewis himself will not go
further than his statement of two
months ago when he said Henry
Ford is next" but his closest asso.
ciates say that the Lewis forces
will be ready to tackle Ford when
the present trouble with ChrySler,
REQ and Hudson is out of the way.
I'VE know Ford has q powerful
police force" said member of the
Committee for Industrial Organi-
zation, which Lewis heads. But he
has no police force in his plants
which can cope with our forces
outside"
Apparently, the goal of C. I. o.
in the impending Ford conflict will
be just what it has been all along
in the automotive industry-recog-
milton of the C. I. o. as the col
lective bargaining agency in the
Ford plants for the employees.
Lewis Disappointed
1--WE aren't afraid of Ford" said
a member of the international
board of the United Mine Workers,
Spearhead Of the C. 1. o.
These thoughts and plans were
expressed to International News
Service with Lewis still hopeful
that some settlement would come
out of the Chrysler parleyS, and
Governor Frank Murphy of Michi-
gan equally optimistic.
Behind it all, there is dissatisfac-
ton on the part of Lewis. He be.
lieves the strike should have been
settled during the first day Of his
conferences with ChrySler.
Despite undeniable progress in
the negotiations here between the
union forces and management of
the Chrysler plants, labor leaders
are showing the strain. Lewis,
when he leaves the conferences,
looks tired. His union executives
cannot stand the pace he sets.
