3RD AMERICAN BATTALION
FORMED TO AIDLOYALISTS:
SAY MADRID DEFENSE GONE
General Franco Is Reforming Battered Rebel Lines On
Madrid Front; Holds Resistance There Is
Now Crushed

"A series of small battles still
is progressing" he said, "but the
enemy offensive on the Madrid
front has been completely smash
ed and our soldiers have started
cleaning up the territory,
"Our troops, who are reorgan,
izing their lines, stood up well
against all the elements of wal
which have been accumulated in
Madrid for several months past"
He lauded the courage Of his
legions in standing up against
wave after wave of the loyalist
offensive and bringing it to a def
mite halt within one week after
it started"
A loyalist pilot, believed to be
a u. S. citizen, was captured when
his plane was brought down on
the Madrid front.
His was one of eight loyalist
planes brought down by anti-air-
craft fire and nationalist chasers,
bringing the number of loyalist
aircraft trapped on the Madrid
front during the last week to 81
All other fliers captured yester'
day were described as Russians.

SET ROBINSON
RITES FRIDAY
AT CAPITOL
State Funeral There Will
! Be Followed By State
Rites At Home

WASHINGTON, July Is. (UP)
Political adversaries sheathed
their swords last night in tribute
to Senate Majority Leader Joe 7.
Robinson whose death while fight
ing for supreme court reorganiza-
ton bereft President Roosevelt of
;yaliant leadership at critical mo-
,pent of battle.
SO stunned were Robinson's
senate colleagues who witnessed
the vigor with which he opened
the greatest legislative foray of
his career, that Senator Burton
X. Wheeler, D., Mont, called on
Mr.. Roosevelt to drop the court
battle 'lest he appear to fight
against God" Wheeler attributed
the Arkansas Democrats death to
over-exertion accentuated by the
court fight.
But senators who saw the pres
4dent after a shocked congress had
declared a temporary armiStice,
said the fight will go on"
State funeral services for Rob.
inson will be in the senate cham.
ber at noon Friday. State cere'
monies will mark the burial rites
at Little Rock, Robinson's birth
place, on Sunday.
Robinson was found in his
apartment across Capitol Plaza
from the scene Of his 34-year con-
siyess;onal career at 8:15 u. m. by
a maid who had gone to awaken
him. He apparently had been dead
five hours or more, victim Of q
heart attack when he got up dur
ing the night. He was in paJamas
The only survivor is his widow
who was at their home at Little
Rock. After communicating with
her Colonel Edwin A. Halsey, sec
retary of the senate, said she
would come here for the state fu'
neral.
Robinson's passing seemed like
ly to prove another blow to Pres
ident Roosevelt's hopes for judi
cial reform at this session. 1t came
within "a hours Of the detection
of Representative Hatton W,
Summers, D., Tex, an important
house leader. But the opposing
factions gave no evidence of d
truce. The Democratic opposition
headed by Wheeler renewed de.
mands that the fght be abandon.
ed, but Senator George l.. Berry,
D., Tenn, and Senator Key Pitt
man, D., New, both of whom saw
the president, said it would con-
tine.
Opposition leaders, at secret
meeting late in the day after they
received word of the administra-
tion's intention, rechecked their
strength and decided to inform
President Roosevelt flatly that if
he did not abandon the bill they
would move to send it back to
the judiciary committee as soon
as it was called up again.
The opposition, it was under
stood, is confident such a motion
would be carried. 1t would kill the
bill for the present session.
And in the corridors of con-
gress three of Robinson's Juniors
who had been foremost in aiding
his fight, raised the cry:
"The best way to revere a
mans memory is to fight for those
things for which he fought"
They were Senator'S Hugo l..

Police lines were established to
keep the throng from hampering

First rescue efforts were con-

provide lifegiving oxygen for

WASHINGTON. July, Is. (UP)
The struggle by conservative
Democrats in congress to recap
ture their party from the hands
of President Roosevelt and his
New Dealers, was expected last
night to flare into the open when
a successor to the late Senate Ma
jority Leader Joe II. Robinson, d.,
Ark, is chosen.
The leadership post is one Of
power and honor. Its occupant
speaks for the White House in the
senate; he moulds party policies;
combats legislation distasteful to
the administration and guides its
measures through the upper house.
His authority in the chamber is
second to the vice president who
is presiding officer. ...-.-.
Early next week 76 Democrats
| in the senate will go into caucus
to select Robinson's successor. On
their selection will rest the fate
of legislation such as the supreme
court reorganization bill, the gov
ernment reorganization bill, the
wages-and-hours measure already
brought forward by President
Roosevelt, and future reform leg
islation which may be offered.
A three-cornered fight for the
leadership began weeks ago when
Robinson's name was brought for
ward as a successor to Supreme
Court Justice Willis Van Devan-
ter, retired. The candidate men
toned in connection with the post
are Sen. Alben Barkley, d., KY,
now assistant majority leader;
Sen. James F. Byrnes, d., 5: G.,
and Sen. Pat Harrison, D., Miss,
chairman of the potent finance
committee.
The fight over the supreme
court bill, which has shattered the
solidarity of senate Democrats,
will play an important part in the
choice Of the new senate leader
but may not prove the deciding
factor. Foes of the court meas
ure, including Senator Burton n.
Wheeler, D., Mont, have indieat-
ed that they will not support any
senator for the leadership who IS
backing the judiciary reorganiza-
tion bill.
But these Democrats cannot
count on a majority of their party
in the senate and it is doubtful
that they could swing the votes OF
all Democrats opposed to the court
bill on another issue in which Mr.
Roosevelt is interested and he IS
certain to be concerned about the
type of man named to succeed
Robinson.
Although the chief executive
publicly has not indicated a pref
erence among the leadership can
didates, his first choice probably
would be Barkley. The Ken
tuckian has a perfect record on
all new deal legislation.
