Madrid Attack Launched.

MADRID, September IA CP).-In-
surgent forces outside Madrid launched
. new attack on the city's western
defense lines today, breaking a two
weeks calm with the crash of heavy
bombs and laundering mine explo-
sions.
Government defenders brought ma
chine guns and anti-tank guns into
play to repulse the insurgent attack.
Positions on the siege lines, locked
around Madrid for 10 months, were
reported unchanged by the govern
ment despite the new insurgent drive.
Members Of the governments gen.
eral staff said, however, that a new
major offensive against Madrid was
expected from Generalissimo Fran
cisco Frances legions before Winter
weather sets in.

John Torrio Evidence
Gang Saga Is
Fading.
BY LEMUEL y. PARTON.

Johnny TORRIO becomes John
Torrio. Newspaper writer's are
less chummy and chstty in
writing about notorious law
breakers than they used 10 be. when
the gangs we're riding high The
shine is fading from the gang saga.
One sees fewer stories written IN the
argot of the underworld. Straight
forward reporting is making possible
more accurate identification and
appraisal of prominent criminals.
Torrio slips into town quietly, to an
swer to a Federal income tax indict-
ment, and rates only couple of per-
functory paragraphs under small
head.
He is p native New Yorker. member
Of the old Brooklyn Bridge James
street gang. an alumnus of the pois-
onous old Five Points Mission district.
He started as wharf rat and worked
UP TO an important Job in Chicago.
helping Big jim" Colosimo put crime
on an organized basis there. When
Colosimo was killed, he and Al Capone
bossed the major Chicago rackets, and
we're doing well, until Torrio was con-
siderably shot up and sent to hos
pital for three months. One gang
story was that his indiscretion IN at
tending Dion O'Bannion's funeral
caused the shooting; another story
was that he fell in love with an opera
singer and offended his business aSso-
ciates by wearing high hat to the
opera.
He came back To New York and was
doing nicely with his Greater City
Security a. Indemnity Co." until the
courts put IL out Of business in 1888.
He did short turn in old-line rock
and-sock politics. but didn't do so
well at It. and has been in and out
of number of other enterprises in
the last three years. When the Fed
eral Government arraigned him year
or so ago. on the income tax charge,
his wife took 100000 out OF her hand
bag and put 1t down for bail.
He is 81 years old. an unbelievable
age for one of his occupation, with
its high rate of casualties. He Is fat
and double-chinned. 1t appears that
nobody is going to burn up any more
typewriters recording his doings as an
"overlord" OF ganglsnd.

MIR. Roosevelt's Chance
Constitution Address Gives Him Opportunity to
Disavow Fascism and Communism Observer Saws

! what he demands, well and good !"
But If business under private owner
ship does not do what Hitler wants
then-1 quote the dispatch the
state will step in and proceed to
carry out the plan" MockinE the
old-fashioned slogan that government
cannot run business as efficiently as
can private owners, the proclamation
said. Let nobody fool himself. A
commonwealth that has succeeded
in creating mighty army, moblizing
a vast labor service and operating
the German railroads. will succeed in
bringing steel and iron production up
to the required level
At the same Nuremberg meeting
at which that proclamation was read.
Hitler and other Nazi leaders made
speeches denouncing communism and
warning the world against it-one
warning was addressed directly to the
United States. One speaker. DR. Al
fred Rosenberg, ieered at the United
States for hoping it could preserve
democracy and avoid fascism
Fundamentally the Same.
America is likely b become more
familiar with the words communism"
and "fascism' and the things thev
represent And America cannot think
clearly, nor guide itself safely. unless
it realizes that the two things are
fundamentally the same. The two
start out with a difference. Com
munism at the beginning frankly de-
MES the right to hold property. Fas-
cism and its twin, naziism. pretend
70 preserve the right TO own property.
But the time comes, as it seems COM
ing in Germany now, when naziism
and fascism deny the right to own
property as much as communism does.
Hitler in Germany and Mussolini in
Italy get their positions as dictator
IN part by promising to protect pri-
vate property, to resist communism.
But when the strain comes, both sac
riflce the right of private ownership
IN order To preserve their dictator
ships. Whatever the purpose they an
nounce in the beginning, the real pur-
pose is to achieve dictatorship. And
when preservation of dictatorship
necessitates wiping out of private
ownership, private ownership goes.
II America is to preserve what it
has had in the past. it must get its
face as firmly against fascism as
against communism. Much of what
is going on in the United States today
consists Of q struggle between those
following the Communist ideal. and
those following the Fascist ideal. Both
go on the assumption that our Ameri-
can democracy is what Mussolini calls
"a putrescent corpse"
Many believe America can preserve
what it has, can preserve the Govern
ment and form of society that has exist
60 for so years under our Constitution.
Those who believe and hope this
would be more comfortable If they
could feel that the administration
now in power was completely bent
upon preserving the American tradi-
ton, resisting the European innova-
ton. If Mr. Roosevelt next Friday
night can make us feel sure Of that.

Presumably the purpose is TO take
advantage of this anniversary as an
| occasion to convince America that
Mr.. Roosevelt and the New Deal are
friends of the Constitution. that they
mean to support it and do not intend
to depart from it, One hopes Mr.
| Roosevelts speech can convince us of
this. America would quickly become
happier country, would indeed shed
most of its worries, If it felt sure that
the Roosevelt administration has the
same attitude toward the Constitution
that. for example. the administrations
of Grover Cleveland and Woodrow
Wilson had.
To give us this assurance will re-
quire not only words but a reversal
Of some policies. Many of the most
thoughtful and penetrating minds in
America believe that group of meas
ures now and recently urged on Con-
gress by Mr.. Roosevelt have the effect,
and presumably the purpose. of
quote Dorothy Thompson tre-
.mendously centralized government
with power and authority vested in
Mussolini or in Stain"
'Mussolini or Stain" is a correct
coupling of names Many Americans
assume that these two men, as SYM
bols Of government. are opposites
Fundamentally they are not opposites,
they are the same. It is true that
Stain symbolizes communism. and
that Mussolini and Hitler symbolic
fascism. Because the words "fascism"
and communism" are different. it is
assumed the things the two words rep
resent are different.
Farm Seizure Cited

came out of Germany this week. One
was headed Farmer Jailed for Allow

inspector was placed in charge of his
2l4-acre farm. 'Langrock was said
to have told neighbors he could not
pay harvest hands and make money
of his crop, so he let it rot" Other
recent dispatches from Germany have
described seizure Of farms by Nazis

THE Trsns-Lux newsreel program
begins this week with the one
word war" flashed on the screen
IN huge letters. That word strikes
the keynote of world affairs today
and, thereby, the keynote of the news
footage. Fire and shells in the Orient
are counterpointed with shots of mill
tary forces in Europe as the narration
ties together the various factors which
spell crisis" over the globe There
are lighter touches, however. after
fleeing refugees and dead bodies in
Shanghai are shown. There is the
parade of beauties at Atlantic City
and the competing parade of Dixie s
contest, providing complete relief
from the gruesome.
