 IS SEEKING HELP

Boston, March +CUP)-In Pres ident Roosevelt's mail today will be a letter seeking aid for "a man without country"-a blind former Doughboy who spent his bonus money for a trip to Canada and is now barred as an alien" from re- turning.
 The letter was mailed yesterday by U. s. Marshal John J. Murphy to whom the veteran. Canadian born corporal Roy Tessier. A, had appealed.
 Never naturalized. Tessier as- sumed that his U. s. Army service overseas automatically made him an American citizen.
 When he got his bonus last Sep- tember, he and his wife journeyed to Montreal to visit Tessier's fath- CT, leaving their l6-year.old son Arthur William to keep house and continue his schooling here.
 They had intended to be gone only l2 days. but on the return trip they were halted a. the New port. Vt. immigration station.
 Back to Montreal went Mfr. and Mrs. TessieF. only to be informed by Canadian officials that they considered them United States cit- izells. They have remained there since and the bonus money has been spent.
 It was shortly after the war that Tessier. a mechanic: became blind.

NEW OFFENSIVE. AGAINST MADRID
LoyaIists Admit That Such a Drive is Under Way
 By Rebels

With loyalist army, Madrid front, March 4.--(UP)-Military circles said today that large-scale ofien- sive against Madrid was expected momentarily with the arrival of an estimated l8,00o insurgent reinforce ments.
 Fighting shifted suddenly today from the south of Madrid to the ntrth as the nationalist army slapped on the Valencia road front after a day and night of bitter bat ting, launched a surpris' attack from Fl Planto toward the Fl Pardo woods.
 As they did SO the loyalist forces attacked in the University City area on the western side of the city, in another attempt to dislodge the insurgents from the clinical hos pital. They failed and the insurg- ents were able to relieve the be- sieged nationalists for the third time in two weeks.
 Fight All Night
 Fighting in the Fl Pardo sector, continued throughout the night. Both sides rushed endorsements from the south front.
 Gen. Jose Miaja, loyalist com rnander in chief, said the insurgent attack on Fl Pardo was to relieve pressure or the University City area where loyalists were thrusting at the nationalists with increasing success.
 Heavy artillery went into action during the morning as both sides laid barrages on the roads leading toward El Paroo in an effort to pre- vent the arrival of endorsements and ammunition supplies.

Hand-LOOm Weaving

Hand loom weaving is an art
which dates back to the beginning of
civilization. Its greatest impetus in
the United States took place during
the Revolution when our supply of
fabrics from the mother coun-
try was shut off. From then on,
notes a writer in Successful Farm
ing, until factory-made cloth became
so cheap, it was developed extern
sively. By the middle of the last
century, only a few hand looms
were still in operation, and these
only in isolated mountain regions.

things she couldn't explain; for usually
she was sort of in love when she saw
as much of one boy as she had of
Stanley. But this was different. She
didn't even feel as if Stanley were a
friend of hers. He was just - well,
he was like stranger she'd run into.
who was kind Of lonely and wandering
around; and she'd talked with him
because he didn't seem to have any
body else to talk to. OF course he
wasn't a stranger; she knew all about
him and the way people wouldn't
have anything to do with him. Of
course, he was wild boy. But not
to her. She felt sometimes as If she
were loads older than he was and he
was - well. it was silly. but almost
as if he were scared and kind of hang

mother and father this. She'd be en-
