over an area approximately 40 miles long, from Reinosa to Villarcayo, forming the base of triangular drive which has Santander as its apex.
 Loyalists said counter attacks were proving successful in many cases. They claimed that coun- ter-attack won back the town of Quirtanilla Del Astorres which motorized column of insurgents had taken.
 Italy Is Accused
 Gibraltar, Aug. 16-(UP)-Italy was accused by survivors today of sinking two vessels off the coast of Apin and waging unrestricted war fare against neutral ships suspect ed of carrying contraband to the Loyalists. Three survivors of the Spanish Tanker Campeador, t0rpedoes last Wednesday, were questioned here by naval authorities. They said the tanker was attacked and sunk by the Italian Destroyer. saetta.
 One American and 37 German members of the crew of the oil tanker, George w. Mcknight, reg istered in Panama and believed to belong to an English company, ar- rived at Bizerta, Tuis, aboard the British Steamer Commodore. The men were picked up after the tanker was torpedoed and burned Saturday while passing near the Is- land of Pantelleria. The crew said their ship was attacked by destroy CT marked "CG." after being fol- lowed all day.
 Loyalist Freighter Sunk
 Istanbul. Turkey, Aug. i6-(UP)- The Spanish Loyalist Freighter Ciudad De Cadiz was sunk today near Tenedos Island in the Aegean Sea by Q submarine which fired eight shells and two torpedoes, ac- cording to a dispatch from Chanak Kalessi, town on the Dardenelles.
 The crew of the freighter was rescued by a Soviet oil tanker en route to the black sea. According to the master of the Spanish ves- sel the submarine flew the flag of the Spanish Nationalists
 The Loyaiists have always main- tained that the Nationalists have no submarines of their own.

I want to question him about. I want to ask him:
 Questions He Wants to Ask
 First, what is his attitude toward the power of the supreme court to invalidate acts of congress.
 Second, whether he will state definitely that he will refrain from sitting in judgment on statutes en- acted during his service in congress if he becomes member of the court or whether he will pass on such acts contrary to past custom.
 Third, exactly what his view is in regard to the seizure of private telegrams by the senate lobby com- mittee of which he was chairman"
 Bankhead Defends Him
 Sen. John H. Bankhead, D., Ala, returned to Washington in order to vote for confirmation of Black.
 Bankhead discounted opposition to the confirmation of his colleague and said that there was no reason why any senators should desire to question Black because "his political and economic views are all well known and have been stated with out equivocation."
 There is certainly nothing in his personal life about which they might question him." Bankhead said. Its as clean as a hounds tooth"
 Press For Test
 Blacks supporters planned to press for an immediate test vote in the committee. A sharp debate appear. ed in prospect, however, over whe- ther the Alabama democrat, as well as citizens desiring to testify con- cerning his qualifications, should be called at public hearings.
 Developments at today's commit tee session appeared likely to bear heavily on the extent and intensity of the fight against confirmation of Black, whose political background has been carefully examined by op- posing senators since President Roosevelt submitted his nomination.
 So far, less than dozen members declared themselves opposed to con- firmation and they have estimated that not more than 25 opposition votes are likely at present.
 But underground rumblings of oposition have encouraged them to seek delay. to ask for public hear ings and further investigation. Sev- eral senators said privately that they had studied Blacks political record carefully to satisfy themselves whe- ther he was at one time interested in Ku KluX Klan support.
 Seek Public Hearings
 Sen. Edward R. Burke, D., Neb., active foe of the presidents aban. doned supreme court program, and Sen. H. Styles Bridge, R., N. H., who declared Black lacked judicial temperament" took the lead in seeking public hearings.
 In the judiciary committee they had only slim support. and the out come appeared to depend on whe- ther the administration will oppose public hearings.
 Burke, Sen. Frederick Steiwer, R., Ore: Sen. Warren R. Austin, R., Vt.; and possibly Sen. Pat McCarran, D., New, appeared to be the only com mittee advocates on further inves- tigation. The IS other members now in the capital were expected to vote for confirmation.
 Chairman Henry F. Ashurst, D., Ariz.. of the judiciary committee said that more than two-thirdS" of the committee had notified him they approved the Black nomina- ton. He predicted speedy confirma- ton.

ing their trench lines and setting the woods afire. The planes re- peatedly returned to their bases for more explosives.
 The whole front between Son. cillo and valdeprade having been smashed, the enemy has no alter native but to retreat, unless they are able to organize defense lines behind Reinosa. Opposing forces apparently cannot hold their pres- ent ground.
 Pushing Over Mountains
 Hendaye, Franco-Spanish Front fer, Aug. 16-(UP)-Nationalists re- ported today that Generalissimo Francisco Franco's army, pushing over mountain-to tops in their drive on Santander. had entered the vital I1unition-producing town of Reino- sa.
 Loyalists admitted that the long, expected drive toward Santander, last important government seaport on the Bay of Biscay, started on Saturday but insisted that the Ma tionalists were meeting stubborn re- sistance at every point.
 As two Nationalist columns push cd to within 36 miles of Santander @ third. at Castro Alen on the Bis- cay coast, waited only for the southern columns to approach their goal before driving west in the gi- gantic "Pincer" maneuver which Gen. Franco plans for the final drive on Santander.
 In Great Offensive
 .One- hundred and ten Nationalist airplanes and 60,000 troops-Moors, Foreign Legionnaires, Italian black shirts and Spanish regulars-parti- cipated in the great offensive. The Nationalists were using the same tactics that they did in capturing Bilbao-sending out low-flying air- planes to bomb the Loyalists from mountain positions and "mopping up" with infantry and artillery.
 Fighting all along the santander front was reported bitter with Loy- alists desperately trying to hold strong positions in the mountains. Nationalists claimed that since the drive opened they had taken l6OO prisoners and captured 24 villages.

DROWNED SUNDAY

Danbury, Conn, Aug. 16-(UP0- Funeral arrangements were being made today for Edmund Malkoon, IS, who was drowned Sunday while swimming in Lake Candlewood. Malkoon was swimming about 50 feet off-shore when he called to his brother Fred, IA, that he was tired. The boy leaped from a rowboat inc to the water but was unable to save his brother.

\COnClnueu 1rOm rage U of village in question and the pos- sibility of moving same to Brook lyn." No information was disclosed today in regard to the terms of sale. MT. Harris, said, however, that he had immediately written to the Brooklyn firm.
 He also said that since the an- nouncement that the village was for sale, either by part or as a single investment, there have been many offers made for single houses by local and out-of-town persons.
 AS the situation stands at the present time, under the resolutions passed at the last meeting of the board of directors, the village must be sold by September or the buildings will be offered at public auction shortly thereafter.
 The offer of the Brooklyn concern marks the first one which calls for the purchase of the entire village and is therefore considered by the manager as the most important one to date,

Japanese fought north and east oi the international settlement.
 Constant Fear of Death

Japanese fought north and east ot the international settlement.
 Constant Fear of Death
 Fragments of anti-aircraft shells and shrapnel, vagrant machine gun and rife bullets, ripped through the settlement and brought the con- start threat of death to any of the 3,50O, ,000 people crowded together in its central part. There was no esti- mate of casualties. But official fig ures showed LOAF killed and 1,003 wounded by one bomb alone that fell Saturday at the Great World" amusement resort in the French concession. French authorities mounted anti-aircraft guns in their concession and announced that any plane, of any nationality, that flew over would be a target for these guns and those on French warships in the Whangpoo river. The guns fired this afternoon on one Chinese plane.
 Get Ready to Evacuate
 British, German, Netherlands and other authorities had ordered their nationals to get ready to evacuate when Admiral Harry E. Yarnell, American naval commander in chief and Clarence E. Gauss, American consul general, announced just after today's Chinese air raid that facili- ties were being arranged to evacu- ate American women and children. Two hundred and thirty Americans and Chinese students had just boarded @ tender near the Japanese consulate wharf this morning, on their way to the liner President Taft and the safety of the high seas. when three Chinese planes flew over the water front. The antt-aircraft and machine guns of the Japanese cruiser Idzumo . moored there, opened up with a blast of fire.
 Americans Take Charge
 The planes did not bomb the waterfront, but there was panic aboard the tender and on the dock and race for shelter. An Ameri- can navy crew took over the ten der. shepherded the passengers in. side the cabin and. with a guard on the top deck, started the tender chugging down the river to the liner, hugging the shore. Two aii bombs from Chinese planes had fallen within 50 feet of the United States gunboat Sacramento yester. day. killing the crew of small na- tive craft. The United States navy tender Ramapo, steaming down the river, was bomb target also.
 An artillery shell struck the Standard Oil coastwise steamer Meinan this morning as 1t lay moored at the Standard oil wharf The ships superstructure was car. xied away and much damage done to the interior but no one was wounded.
 Troops Pouring In
 Both Japan and Chinese were pouring troops and bluejackets into the area. Three thousand more Japanese bluejackets landed Sun day. It was reported that army troops already were arriving to reinforce the 10000 bluejackets

 Removes Parallel
 Miss Egan, however, obviously will run on the fusion ticket if she IS not nominated by the democrats. Consequently this removes any pos sible parallel between the two cases. Judge Slavin was @ democrat and said he would not run against an- other democrat. Miss Egan was a democrat, but is expected to run against a democrat should someone besides herself be named by the party as candidate fol town clerk.

without communicating the fact to other South American powers. Not missing Q point, Argentina recalls that the United States for some time has argued against heavy spending on armaments as the worst possible threat to peace. y
 Says Argentina: wouldn't peace be even further threatened if nations could rent warships cheaply, thus removing the economic brake which has somewhat checked the armament race? What, asks Argentina, would happen if European countries offer to lend war cruisers to South American countries?
 It might be wise for President Roosevelt and Secretary Hull to consider all the angles. Naval men are wondering if there is any coincidence in the fact that the projected lease involves six vessels-the exact number being built for the Argen- tine Republic in British ShipyardS. Con- fidence between the Americas is one of the greatest factors in the future of world peace, regardless of what happens across the Atlantic or across the Pacific. It would seem unwise to disrupt the friendly relations so carefully built up, with what appears to be touch of ill-advised intrigue.

Football Isn't Everything

Out of the complaint made recently by Coach Bob Zuppke at Illinois University that college boys are getting softer every year, there rises the faint suspicion that perhaps those college boys are just get ting different slant on things collegiate. Coach Zuppke regrets that his husky students are not as husky as they once were, and they are not nearly so willing to go out and get the daylights pasted out of them just for the glory of the thing. The famous football mentor planes the influence of sorority divans, purring motor cars, and doting parents
 Perhaps he's right, but, perhaps there is another explanation or two. It is just barely possible that lot of boys starting to college don't care for the grind which puts them into football suit six days week for three months, which drives them onto the practice field for tedious practice day in and day out, just for a brief moment of battered glory before packed stadium on Saturday. Mayoe some of them have figured out that foot ball, except to the exceedingly small number of brighter stars, has no future except in fireside tales and after-dinner "reminiscences when college days are over
 It is barely possible, too, that the young athlete has noticed that, once he has his sheepskin and gets job, he can't jump into football suit after the days work and get a bit of exercise. Some of the boys may have decided that college athletics might just as easily have future as college classroom courses. Tennis is hardly sissy game and young man doesn't have to be second Donald Budge, to enjoy it. Furthermore, he can get exercise and pleasure out of the sklll he has acquired in school for a couple decades later.
 Golf teams appear to be more popular in college than they formerly were. Coli is a business mans game. It's a distinct advantage to be able to shoot decent score As a contact" pastime golf IS almost notorious. You meet very few busi- ness men in football suits on pleasant sunny afternoons. There's no 18th hole on the gridiron, either.
 MT. Zuppke may be right. The modern college boys may be losing part Of their enthusiasm for football, some of them, at least. There probably always will be enough to do and die for the Illini, pro- ducing a Red Grange every generation or two to build| |up the gate. And the others, it may be, have changed their notions about college football and the value thereof.

Low Russian Morale

General demoralization is said to have developed in Russia, as result of the various "purges" of the last year. With so many generals, engineers, political leaders and others in high places impris- oned or executed on charges of treason, a wave of terror has swept through the whole organization. Competent men are afraid to accept responsible positions, or to use their own judgment, lest they, too, be accused as traitors and "wreckcrs" Industry in particular is tagging.
 So the ruling group headed by Stalin now finds itself obliged to reassure the executives and engineers whom they trust, in order to get good service from them. It is a natural result, as any level headed person who has ever exercised authority knows. You cannot take the heads off subordinates, literally or figura- lively, without destroying their morale and initiative.

More At Stake

Action of the United States in propos- ing to lease six destroyers to Brazil seems in a fair way of undoing much of the confidence built up between South Ameri- can nations and this country during the past few years, particularly at the Inter- American Conference for the Mainte- nance of Peace, attended by President Roosevelt. Argentina is frankly disturbed over the matter and doesn't hesitate to say so, pointing out quite lucidly the rea- sons for her displeasure. Argentine gov ernment officials informed by the United States that Brazil needs the destroyers to defend herself against nations after her raw materials, notes that only Japan or Germany might be threatening Brazil, and inquiries just how much protection six destroyers would be against either nation
 Along with other nations of South America, Argentina resents the secrecy which covered the negotiations Surprise is expressed that Roosevelt, whose frank ness was admired at the conference, would have made move of this kind

Roadside Caravansaries

Something new, elegant and numerous in the way of highway hotel is promised by Detroit man. He is planning to build a string of 1000 glorified tourist cabins, starting in Ohio and dotting the whole country. These are not to be individual cabins. They will be units containing 16 rooms, each with tub, shower and radio, substantially built, and located in small towns where land is cheap and roads are good. The first ones will be built of sand- stone. There will be twin beds and tile bath for $250. And there will not be any food
 This may be too elegant, or too expen- sive, for the common variety of auto tour ist. But there will probably be demand for such accommodations by the time they are provided. If such places, though, are built by thousands, what is going to happen to regular city hotels with big investment?

Selected Poem
OSWALD THE DUCK
(Sarah Wingate Taylor in the Christian
 Science Monitor)

(Sarah Wingate Taylor in the Christian
 Science Montor) On my morning walks ain pleased to meet A duck who lives on Marlborough Street His name is Oswald so I have heard A curious name for that sort of brd And he waddles about on Q patch of grass Gazing at people who pause as they pass. His feathers are white. or they were until He burrowed in dirt: and yellow his bi And sometimes he tucks 1t under his wing And looks too funny for anything As he cocks his head and biinks his eye, Winking ct me as go by. Now I haven't seen oswald at all today Though made point of going his way walk on purpose down Marlborough Street To look ct his feathers and funny webbed feet And wonder Q while in front of his fence Just what 1t Is like to have duck sense. So Oswald think must have moved from the city For the summer vacation. And though it's pity That we should miss him on Marlborough Street, To paddle pool Is the very best treat For any duck, and especially fond Oswald would be of fine wet pond.
