tive role In the controversy.

carefully and said he had not yet
reached any decision on the posi-
bility of separating the sections OF

Returning Home
Memphis, Tenn, Feb. 8-(UP0-
Thousands Of flood refugees began
to return to their homes in the
Mississippi valley lowlands today as
the river and its tributaries dropped
steadily. U. S. army engineers
fought "sandboils" and seepages
along a thousand miles of leveeS,
but said they believed they had won
their fight.
Floodwaters crested at Memphis
and continued falling upstream to
Cairo, ILL.,, where the Ohio began a
more rapid drop.
A southerly wind which reached a
velocity of Is miles an hour last
night continued. Bulkheads at vul-
nerable points in the levee system
prevented any serious damage for
wave wash.
At Memphis. 1000 additional WPA
workers were called to work on the
levee protecting lowlands south por-
lions Of the city from backwaters
OF the Uonconnah Creek. A high
wind was tapping water over the
dixie In places, threatening several
factories. \ few streets in the
northern part Of the city were
flooded.
Engineers shifted part Of their
pick and shovel army Of 100000 men
from above Memphis TO threatened

Pursuit continues

uACust SUutAlUC0
1.-THE government forces are de-
stroying bridges in their wake but
are unable to check our pursuit.
Manage is entirely occupied by our
army"
The great speed of the rebel adj
vance apparently was made pissible
because the loyalists abandoned
further attempts to defend the city.
Queito De Llano, In a radio broad
cast, asserted that all Of Malaga
province, containing more than
100000 people in its 1912 square
miles, had been brought under ma
tionalist control during the week
end in a series of maneuvers that
captured large stocks of loyalist war
materials and sent six columns of
nationalist, like Spokes In wagon
wheel, to Malaga's gates.
Prisoners May Die
There was but one real concern.
Many feared for 200 prisoners held
on a prison ship in Malaga harbor.
Nationalist information Is that loyal
lists have threatened to kill them.
So swift was the ween end advance
that nationalist soldiers found sew
eral places where mines had been
made ready to blow up bridges and
roads but which were unexploded.
The loyalists had built an I'M
portant system of trenches, pro-
tected by barbed wire, right down
to the Seashore but the swift at
tack Of the nationalist was so fierce
that the loyalists hardly attempted
to resist.

into session today to try not only
hundreds Of right wing suspects
but leaders Of the extreme left wing

harged with treason. Women and
Roman Catholic churchmen as well
as men were on the long list Of ma
tionalist suspects to be called before
the court In an effort to thin out
the prison population and free per-
sons found innocent.
Against Marxist Party
Much more important was the
sudden move against leaders Of the
workers Marxist party. a powerful
unit in the left wing coalition. Yes
terday, as the nationalist made a
new attack on the vital Valencia
road which controls the capitals
food supply, loyalist government
agents seized the radio station of
the workers Marxist party and its
chief newspaper organ, "Tae Red
Combatant." Police, In an offlcial
communique, charged the organiza-
ton with constant attacks on the
loyalist government. Socialist
spokesman went further and charged
1t with plotting counter-revolution.
1t was notable that the organization
Is listed as loyal to Leon Trotsky,
exiled Russian leader, and Is sort
Of dissident communist party.
Thirty Catholic Friars
First on the list of defendants
were leaders Of the Marxist party,
30 Roman Catholis friars from the
famous monastery as ell Escorial. and
some 600 female prisoners. Others

Efforts
 Attempts to complete the deal for the sale of this important piece of local real estate attempted some months ago, were frustrated by op- position of several members of the Elk's Lodge, who were not in favor of cutting up the beautiful lodge property. It was their contention that the beauty of the Elk's Home would be marred.
 Since the real estate deal was last in motion, however, several changes have been made along that portion of West Main street, making 1t more and more a commercial section. In the meantime also driveway has been cut through the Elk's lawn, one of the beauty features of the prop erty, to the Elk's parking lot to the east of the clubhouse.
 Tn view of these changes 1t Is said that a very large percentage of the Elk's Club membership are now in favor of selling portion of the property believing great financial benefits will be reaped. by their or- ganization through the sale of the property.
 No price has been mentioned in connection with the rumored sale, but 1t necessarily will be large one.
