general objection Is made to It that

Civil Service Commission Issues
Warning
It will be revealed by my readers
that last fall I issued a warning
through the newspapers OF the
Sixth District against such CORES
pondence schools and mail-order
training courses as prepare for
government service and promise
jobs. Some Of these schools, and
their field representatives, have
made very extravagant promises
with regard to government en-
ployment. My attention was very
forcibly called to this matter when
I visited the village Of Dassel last
fall. A joint statement just issued
by the Civil Service Commission
and the Social Security Board
warns persons against subscribing
to these courses in the hope Of Sc
curing government positions with
the Social Security set-up. There Is
now on file more than $4,000 APP
plications for positions with the
Social Security Board. Then, too,
there are thousands and thousands
who already have civil service
status which entities them to pref
erential treatment. I am informed
that there Is now available many
more eligibles than there are posi-
tions for. The same holds true with
the railway mail service as I called
attention to some weeks back. NY
purpose in again bringing up the
subject in this letter is to warn my
readers against paying out good,
hard earned money for a CORES
pondence course in the vain hope
Of securing a government job. It is
the unemployed and low-income
groups that are being victimized by
these fraudulent activities.
Coast Guard Academy Examination
Examinations for entrance to

for entrance Is a high school edu-
cation and a sound body. Any
young man wishing to take this ex-
animation may do so by writing the
Commandant, U. s. Coast Guard,
Washington, d. c., or to me. The
Coast Guard Academy Is located at
New London, Connecticut, and
maintains the same scholastic
standards as does the Naval Acad-
envy at Annapolis.

partly evasive in his estimate. In
the backfield the average strength
may be below par, but the three or
four best men are UP to par and
that means the 1887 backfield will
have all the new strength it will
need. In the line, however, there
are but two or three top grade new
men in sight whereas there should

Jail. Every night q truck waited
in front of the Jail laden with
prisoners bound for their last ride,
their faces showing greenish
white In the Pickering arc light.
Until the first week of Novem-
Der, all prisoners taken by the
whites were shot. as all prisoners
taken by the reds were shot. Then
Franco ordered a halt to the kill
ing Of all prisoners.
On my recent visit I was told
the whites now hold around 5000
prisoners, much to the disgust OF
the more radically.minded Off
GERS, who believe only complete
determination can end the civil
war.
Frances Orders Obeyed
All the atrocity stories told by
each side are probably true, judg-
ing from those personally wit
messed. Revolving though atroc-
tiles are on any side, the point
is that Franco controls his situa-
ton and his orders are obeyed
and he has had no trouble within
his own ranks which he has not
been able inStantaneously to sup
press.
His most serious mutiny was
that of SO officers and men Of the
air corps at Tetuan, Morocco,
around Easter. They apparently
were original sympathizers with
Madrid and were compelled to
remain under cover until the
moment they believed they had a
chance to escape.
They were discovered and shot.
I could find no evidence that their
action represented any widespread
feeling Of disaffection in Frances
army.
Fascist Rift Revealed
I arrived in Salamanca in time
to witness the end Of the next
serious trouble Franco had in his
own ranks. It was an internal
fight within the Falangist Espanol
(Fascist) organization, whose
leaders started to battle it out
with pistols and hand grenadeS in
the streets Of Salamanca.
The fight concerned rivalry be-
tween AuguStin Aznar, head of
the Fascist militia, and Manuel
Hedilla, chief of the Fascist
party. The Aznar and Hedilla
gunner shot and grenaded one
another until three were killed
and several wounded, but within
a few hours Frances police had
rounded up the lot.
Considering that Aznar and
Hedilla headed more than 100,-
600 armed soldiers and claim

war to insurgent generalissimo
Francisco Franco.
It is calculated not only to
cripple his enemy by disorganiza.
ton, but to improve his position
in Europe.
From the beginning of the war,
neutral Europe tended to favor
Franco because he stood for law
and order" and Italy and Ger
many were able to assert they were
intervening on Frances side TO
save Spain from chaos and avert
from Europe the danger OF a RED
spot Of infection"
Convinced Of Order
Wholesale slaughter OF priests,
nuns, aristocrats and rich middle
class people by the Reds at the OUT
set of the conflict alienated espe-
cially British sympathies, but dur.
ing the last few months the Valen-
cha government convinced many
persons that the anarchist murder
gangs had been suppressed ana or
der restored.
This, combined with the destruc'
ton of Guernica by Frances Ger
man bomberS, swayed the BRUSH
government to defy frances pro-
tests and send the British navy
to convoy Basque women and chill
dren and old men from Bilbao TO
q refuge abroad.
Now, however. the fresh out
break of anarchists in Catalonia
has renewed British conviction it
would be better for Franco to win.
for, whatever the cost, it is a fact
he maintains on his side consid-
erably more order than prevails
on that Of his enemies.
Executions Orderly"
Personal observation supports
the general impression that atroc-
tiles committed by both sides in
the war are equally bad and execu-
lions behind the lines Of reds and
whites equally numerous. but it is
a fact that mob violence is almost
unknown on Frances side, where
the executions are carried out in
an orderly" fashion.
Going to the front one day near
Santa Olalla we passed five old
women Just killed by a Fascist fir
ing squad, their bodies lying in a
ditch. They were peasant women
Of the better class, clearly dressed
and averaging around 60 years in
age. Our press officers, dismayed,

All Factions United
1t was after this episode that
Franco decreed compulsory uni
fication of all military and po-
litical organizations on his side,
Professionally called by the awk-
ward name, Traditional Spanish
Phalanx.
Into this unit he forced the Car
lists, standing for non-constitu-
tional government by an absolute
monarch; the Renovation or AL
phonse Monarchists, standing for
a constitutional sovereign (both of
these parties have now agreed
upon Alphonse'S third son, Don
Juan, Prince Of the ASturias, as
their pretender): the Republicans;
clericals of all varitieS, and the
FasciSts, who are anti-clerical,
standing for an advanced form Of
cooperative state on the Italian
model with many more privileges
for workers and peasants than
monarchist reactionaries would
permit.
The differences among these
followers of Franco are almost as
great as the differences between
the anarchists and communists on
the red side. Nobody knows how
long Franco will be able to hold
them together, but the fact is he
has united them while his enemies
in red Spain have broken out in
anarchist rebellion. In fighting
a war, dictatorship has advan-
tageS.

DIRKSEN BILL
ASKS END OF
1-MANCARS

A mandate from Congress pro-
hibiting the operation of one-man
street cars in the District is sought
in a bill introduced in the House
late yesterday by Representative
Everett Dirksen (R) Of Illinois.
From his personal observations,
the Illinois Republican asserted he
has determined that the one-man
cars are not as efficient as they
should be and add to the city's
traffic hazards.
Would Affect Buses
His bill would require that all
street cars and buses having a
capacity of over 80 passengers
must "have a conductor or other
employee in charge Of the vehicle
in addition to the operator Of the
vehicle" He explained that, al
though his proposal might have
the effect of compelling two-man
operation of practically all Of the
buses in the city, he is particu-
larly aiming at street cars.
Dirksen's criticism Of the transit
situation in Washington recently
was put in the form Of a motion
by himself before the House Dis
trict Committee asking that a
probe of the Public Utilities Com
mission be made by that body.
Matter Of Finances
Last summer, after numerous
protests against one-man street
car operation by citizens Of the
District, the Public Utilities Com
mission permitted the Capital
Transit Company to increase the
number of one-man street cars.
The P. U. c.. held that the one.
man cars do not reduce speed or
efficiency and that the financial
condition of the transit company
necessitated granting of such per-
mission.
