Basques and Rebels Fight
Fiercely Near Bilbao

COME of the most desperate fight
~ ing of the Spanish civil war was
taking place in the struggle for Bill
bao between the sturdy Basques and
Gen. Emilio Mola's veterans, reput-
eddy mostly Italians and Germans.
The insurgents had promised not
to bomb the center of the city but
bombarded its environs heavily
from the land and the air. By fierce
attacks they broke through the
Basque lines on the Bay of Biscay
coast, reaching Bilbao's seaports at
the mouth of the Nervion river.
Disregarding the protests of Gen.
eral Franco, Fascist chieftain, the
British and French governments
undertook to remove from Bilbao
a large number of women and chill
dren. These refugees were taken
away by merchant vessels while
British warships guarded outside
Spanish waters. Franco maintained
Bilbao was a military objective
and that neutral nations had no
right to evacuate the civil popula-
ton as this would lift a burden from
the Basques and permit them to
concentrate on the defense of the
city.

House Majority Refuses
to Practice Economy

wv HILE Democratic leaders in
w congress were disputing over
various proposals for achieving the
economy demanded by the Presi-
dent, the house without CULVER
passed the second deficiency bill,
carrying $79, 100000. The Demo-
Gratis called it an economy measure
because the appropriations were 10
millions less than the amounts
asked by the department heads. But
is of those 10 millions represented
merely reduction in the 80 million
appropriation asked by the bureau
of internal revenue for the refund
ing of processing taxes collected I'M
der the agricultural adjustment act.
The saving, it was pointed out, was
more a deferred economy" in that
the Is millions will be included in
the next budget.

A STYLE show De Luxe for De
"A Ladies on this De Lightful
Spring day!
Betty Ann feels just bit the
most elegant of the three for her
housecoat is superlative. She has
"skirts" like the ladies in the
feminine yesterdays; her basque
is form-fitting; her sash has a
bow, and her sleeves puff. The il
fusion is so perfect that she is
about to reach for smelling salts
or a sprig of old lavender.
Matrons Have Vanity, Too.
Mama, very young for her
years, can not resist styles that
bring more compliments her way.
The no-belt feature of this one is
definitely new, and does wonders
for the figure bit past the slim
stage. The continuing collar,
which in soft pastels is always
fiattering, gives the break re-
quired by the all-in-one waist and
skirt. The fitted top and fiaring
bottom make for style plus COM
fort, a demand matrons, even
though youthful, always make.
Parties and Picnics.
Winifred on the left is privately
making up her mind to have a
housecoat, too; though she is
nightly pleased with the way her
print has turned out. She chose
this style because the fitted, brok-
en- waist line and front scanned
skirt are so very slenderizing.
She's on her way to the All meet
ing now and has only stopped
to remind Betty Ann of the picnic

his vessel was escorted by three de-

GENERAL LEACH WINS

Occasionally comes an indication that despite the New
Deal landslide of 1886 the Republicans as political pos
sbity have not been erased from the public arena In
Minneapolis the other day, Brgader General George e.
Leach veteran of the World War and of many political
BATTLE in which he helped to lead the Republican forces
elected by decisive majority as mayor of the city
over Kenneth Haycraft who had the Farmer-Labor ell
dorsement.
The party lines in the Minnesota battle not so
tightly drawn as was the in Wilmington, Del, not
long ago, yet General Leachs victory not without
it's significance. Minneapolis has long been a center of
radical activity In the 1886 campaign the New Deal poll
ca leaders took occasion to endorse of the Farmer
Labor candidates and they statewide victory.
Farmer-Laborites have been debating things many
occasions in the Gopher State during the past several
years.
In the recent mayoralty election General Leach
doubtless received the support of many of the old fashion
ed constructive Democrats we'll of the Republicans
of the type And the result was that he won. It
indicates that in hObed of radicasm fundamental
y sound candidates have good chance to win if the vot
who believe in American traditions will only march
to the polls together
The result will bring satisfaction to the Republican
leaders but it will do than that-it will bring re-
newed courage and confidence to those Americans who
not yet willing to trade their political brthrght for
a of pink pottage.
