Capital on the Move

HE Spanish loyalist government,
1 after another terrific bombing
of the city by Insurgent airplanes
of the German Junkers and Heinkel
types, decided to move the capital
from Bilbao to Santander, but to
defend Bilbao to the death. The
Basque battalions reorganized for
a last ditch stand to protect the
broken iron ring" of the city's
defenses from the forces of General
Francisco Franco. The latter, it was
admitted, already had penetrated
the first line of Notifications near
Flea and Larrabezua, five miles to
the east. Several persons were killed
and many houses destroyed by the
rebel bombs and machine guns.
Meanwhile the loyalists were claim
ing important advances along the
Cordoba front.

Reds Rub Out 8

r IGHT Soviet Russian generals,
IL including Marshal Michail Tux
hachevsky, former vice commissar
of defense, learned the wrath of the
Kremlin. Condemned for treason,
they were led before firing squad
and killed, by order of the military
tribunal of the Soviet supreme
court. The court only the day be-
fore had declared them guilty OF
conspiring with the military intelli-
gence service of an "unfriendly''
foreign power. Although the sun
friendly" power was never named
by officials, correspondents in Mos
cow declared indications were un-
mistakable that Red leaders believe
the power was Nazi Germany.
Most of the Russian capital was
virtually certain that the eight, who
had been denied appeal, had been
put to death for an ambitious plot
to rob the Soviet of its western prov
inces and turn them over to Ger
many.

dence of the break between the adj
ministration and the conservative
Democrats The South, especially,
has been voicing its insistence upon
states rights as opposed to all
powerful central. government as adj
vocated by the New Deal, and the
relief bill amendment was seen as
a case in point. Hopkins had argued
that compelling states to contribute
40 per cent of the cost of WPA prof.
ects would virtually eliminate such
federal projects in the South. 1t was
believed that this may be what the
southern senators want; they claim
that the payment of $12 a week to
negroes cut down their labor pool
and they want to get the negro
workers back into the cotton fields.

Visitors to the house no longer
are confronted by the unsightly
white-painted columns which were
installed a generation ago to pre-
vent the then sagging structure from
collapsing. They see, instead, a
broad flight of easy steps which rise,

so lightly that it seems to do little
more than touch the top of the tread
on the step below, 10 broad land

John L. LEWIS aimed another
- blow at steel through the United
Mine Workers, of which he is pres
ident. Workers in the captive mines
(mines operated by an individual
steel concern which is the sole user
of the coal brought to the surface)
in Pennsylvania walked out of the
shafts and joined the steel picket
lines. The purpose was to cripple
further the steel plants now shut
down or operating under difficulties
while picketed; the immediate OBJ
jective was the closing of the Cam
bria plant at Bethlehem Steel. The
effectiveness of the walkout was
matter for dispute; plant officials
claimed all departments were in
operation.

They DO Come Back

k'OUR years ago a husky young
professional golfer named Ralph
Guldahl stood on the final green of
the United States National Open
championship golf tournament,
needing to sink an easy four-foot
putt to tie Johnny Goodman for the
title. He missed, and quit golf to
sell automobiles.
Last year his love of the game
overlook him and he decided upon
one more try. He came back with
a vengeance, cleaning up most of
the money in the winter tourna-
ments. He climaxed his return to
form by winning COLTS most covet-
ed title, that of national open cham
pion, at Oakland Hills country club,
Birmingham, Mich, in the 1887
meet just closed. His score of 281
for 72 holes was an all-time record
for open competition.

We're in the Money!

YOU don't think things are
picking up, maybe the United
States Department of Commerce
can convince you. It has just re-
ported the national income for 1896
reached total of $50, 056, 900, 900,
and officials predicted that the fig
ure FOR 1887 would reach SIC, 000, 000,-
600. The all-time high was $78, &c.,
100000 in the dizzy boom year OF
1929, and the all-time low $44, $40, :
100000 in 1888.
The departments report said that
since 1888 the national income has
risen more swiftly than prices and
that the real purchasing power OF
individuals was much larger. In
come, it said, increased 38 per cent
from 1888 to 1886, while the cost of
living advanced 8 per cent. The per
capita income of employees last
year was listed at 81 PA, which was
$50 more than in the preceding year
and 1874 per cent of the figure for
1929.

of those remote little border countries
of eastern Europe where every now

At least they had a king at the time

His name is King Fog. This is neith-
er a typographical error nor a
vaudeville gag. The name positively
is Fog, and radio comedians may
make the most of it.
For many months he has been

is that $5,0OO,O00 bank roll.

Pardon me, Burgess, but Mark
Twain never did any such thing.
Once I heard him at his out-cussing-
est best-denouncing a publisher
who had offended him. He swore
for five minutes all right, but over
and over again he used the same
few familiar oaths which the Eng
disappearing race always have
used. He didn't introduce a new or
an original one.
7 studied the art of cussing, both
by note and by ear, under such gift
ed masters of profanity as southern
steamboat mates, New York news
paper men, London cab drivers,
western mule whackers and north
woods timber choppers.
With my hand on my heart I
solemnly affirm that not one of these
alleged experts ever employed any
save the dependable age-seasoned
standbys, to wit, seven adjectives,
