COLLISION RESULTS IN THREE ARRESTS
Five Cars Involved in Peculiar Mix-up on
 Walnut Street

Three drivers were arrested last night after an accident at Walnut and Ashley streets in which five cars were involved. The arrests were made by Motor Patrolman Thomas Phelan of the accident squad.
 Police said an automobile driven by Adolph Dressel. of 46 Ashley street, was proceeding north on Walnut street, and that, when the driver misjudged the distance as he attempted to avoid an oncoming car, 1t struck parked machine owned by Edward Considine, of 50 Fairview street.
 Hearing the crash, Robert J. FL liott, of 243 Sheffield street, stopped his car suddenly as 1t was proceed ing down the hill. Following behind him were cars owned by Domenic Hagrossi, 27, of TIT Wood street, and Q. Rockwell Clyne, 5l, of 80 Ives street. Iagrossis car ran into the rear of Elliott's machine, and was 1n turn struck by Clyne's car.
 Elliott was arrested on a charge of falling to signal his intention of stopping. IagroSsi and Clyne were arrested on charges of violating the rules of the road. The three drivers will be arraigned in traffic court EI0nday.

But there are a group of forces which have a peculiar significance. Grouped together they may be said to constitute the vanguard of the New Deal chickens, coming home to roost.
 The meaning and drift of these various things we will talk about later. The principal thing now is to keep our picture of the economic scene straight.
 There is not the slightest doubt about certain facts. Production has steadily grown. It is, in the con- suming industries, practically as high as It was in 1929. More and more men have been put to work. But while employment has increased to near the 1929 level, unemploy- ment still remains high-no one knows quite how high, but there must be at least seven to nine mil- lion men and women out of private employment. This hangs on as the dark spot in our economic picture.
 Wages have increased, partly through an improvement in condi- tions, partly through the energy of the labor groups which have forced

raises.
 Profits have increased largely Profits increased during the frs, quarter in every industry but baking coal mining and food products. The best profits were made by the mer- chandising groups.
 The bright spots are improved residential construction, increased foreign trade, more employmen: better wages, better profits. steel motor and textile industries running at high levels and, up to recently at least general feeling that we had climbed out of the depression at last.
 The dark spots are the uncertain ty which hangs over the scene be- cause of the unchecked gold impor- tations, the ever-recurring fear Of imitation, the gathering war clouds in Europe, the labor unrest, the ris- ing price level, the grave tax uncer- tainty, and, above all, though not recognized, the persistent refusal of private credit to make it's way into investment.

 Twenty four hours later the bride groom was hurriedly called to the front again.

and John L. Lewis without battle. In April 1t was the shock of the Presidents news that the tax bill had proved inadequate and that there was another sizeable deficit in sight. This was accompanied by the amazing about-face of the Supreme Court on the minimum wage bill and the drop in the bond market.
 In May 1t was the gradual wid- ening of the strike belt and the slow but serious envelopment of va rious industrial fronts in the whole labor war of the c. I. O. In June 1t is the continuance of this movement along with slackening in business activity which seems to have been felt throughout the country. And since March, running through all of this, there has been the consistently declining stock market, the persist ently rising commodity price level and, finally, the growing fears about that whole mysterious force-the gold movement.

gether we arrived at the conclusion that business activity is about where 1t was after the big crash of 1929, aftcr 1t had started down but before 1t had developed that calamitous descent which marked 1t during the next four years. It Is probably still ten points below what 1t was when the famous boom of 1929 was under way. This means that If we could make one more flight of ten per cent and then add another five per cent flight to take care of population in- crease we would be where we were when MT. Hoover was sitting on top of the world and the world was get- ting ready to shake him of.

 Madrid, June 30.-UP)-During the nine months that death has been lurking constantly in the capi- tai of Spain, one-third of 1t has been rendered uninhabitable by ar tillery and air-bombing. The peo- pie live daily under the extreme ten sion of constant danger, but on the surface life appears normal.
 Street cars run regularly on schedule. Early in the war the peo- pie were proud of their drabness, wearing overalls and bedroom slip pers, the men tieless and unshavcd, but now the fighting men have the finest uniforms and women are smartly gowned although many wear mourning for dead brothers, sWeethearts or husbands.
 Children Playing
 A stranger arriving in the city sees children playing in the streets and upon registering at one of the avail able hotels usually demands to "sec something"-some evidence of war.
 I piloted one such visitor recent ly walking with him one morning along the midtown stretes and at length entering cafe to have q glass of the diminishing supply of beer in the city. He was en- toying his beer when the some thing" he wanted to see took place.
 There was a high-pitched whistle, followed almost instantly by an ear shattering roar. Glass showered over the cafe tables as people dropped to their hands and knees When the cannonading was over took the visitor out onto the street again.
 One shell had made a direct hit at the entrance of the cafe. There were peices of flesh on the walls Together the visitor and I looked down at the bodies of three girls and a man from whom had bought morning paper a few min- utes before.
 Bodies of Milltlamen
 Nearby were the bodies of three who, I learned later, had come to Madrid on A hours leave from Casa Campo to be inoculatec against typhoid.
