SPANS REBEL
FORCES ROW
ON AIMS

PARIS, Aug 10 CUP)-Reports
reaching the French frontier today
indicated that a political struggle
of great moment was occurring in
Loyalist Spain between Francisco
Largo Caballero, left wing Socialist
leader, and the constituted govern
ment.
Caballero, who was deposed as
premier in favor of the present
premier, Dr. Juan Negrin, is OPP
posing bitterly a Loyalist campaign
of suppression against the Trot-
skyist and Anarchist unions, called
the Poum and the Fai.
He has the support on left wing
Socialists and some Syndicalists
while the government has the Sup
port of the right wing Socialists,
the Communists and the Repub-
lican parties.
Caballero aims at formation of a
government such as was tried in
the early days of the Civil War,
composed of all elements in Repub-
lican Spain The present govern
ment inclines more at present to
uniting Socialists and Communists
as the dominant element.
The Communist party in Spain
is not listed on the extremist but
on the relatively conservative side
Suppression of extremist ele-
mentS in Catalonia, which forms
the northeastern corner of Spain,
has played an important part.
Gen. Sebartian Pozas, a veteran
Loyalist of the old regular army,
was sent recently to Catalonia to
reorganize the army there, which
never had been put under military
disciple and had taken little ac-
tive part in the war.

lnere were ABOUT ~ men IN the
mob that invaded Trinity park
where the meeting was in progress.
They overturned Harris automobile
which carried a motion picture pro-
lection machine and a film entitled
Millions of U.s.. The film portray
ID the advantages of union labor.
Harris helper, George Lambert,
%, was slightly bruised in a scuffle
with the men.
Police believed the attack was
not related to the kidnapping earlier
in the day of George Baer, 38, vice
president of the United Hat, Cap
and Millinery Workers of America,
who was seized from the street by
three men and taken to the coun-
try for beating.
The attack on Baer was believed
to have been inspired by hoStilitieS
between the Committee for Indus
trial Organization, to which his
union belongs, and the American
Federation of Labor. The CLIO re-
Gently began a membership drive in
Dallas industries, where the A. F..
OF L. has been entrenched..
Detectives were still questioning
Harris early today. He told them
the only motive he could assign to
his treatment was racial prejudice.
His motion picture, he said, showed
white and negro women together
in a picket line, and his abductors,
he said, had told him to get back
up north"
T. M. Lane, Dallas Socialist party
worker, was on the speakers stand
when the mob attacked. Harris and
his automobile appeared to be their
goal. They overturned the car,
causing about $1,000 damage to the
machine and movie equipment, then
beat Lambert and made off with
Harris.

Baby Dead at Birth
Lives in Cardboard
Box Dies End Time

MORRISTOWN. Tenn, Aug 10.
UP)-Twenty-four hours after a
baby apparently died at birth in
Morristown hospital she revived in
a cardboard box in her fathers
smoke house. She died again, ir-
revocably, last night.
DR.. D. R. Roach pronounced the
case as one of the Strangest in
medical annals today. Sunday at
ternoon he was officiating at the
en- couchment of Mrs. Charles Coo
hiram, wife of the barber of the
neighboring mountain village of
New Market.
The bay was born, gasped, ap-
parently died. DR.. Roach pronounc-
ed the baby dead.
The father claimed the body. He
placed it in a cardboard box, car
ried it to his home and placed it in
his smoke-ho
Yesterday morning he called on
the Morristown undertaken to pur-
chase a coffin. The undertaken had
none that was small enough, and
Cochran went back home to make
one. Working diligently, he had
it made by late afternoon, but be-
fore lining it, he decided that he
should make sure it was large
enough.

door, took the cardboard box down

PUBLIC WORKS, MuSSollnl went to the
city hall and, in a brief speech,
said that his visit was most peace
full, and its aims constructive. But
more pertinently, he added:
"Messina is the spearhead of a
great artery dominating Mediter-
ranean routes" He said that it
would again assume the position
to which it was entitled.
The maneuvers were regarded as
among the most important ever
held IN Italy because they will serve
to show the general staff what
might be expected to occur in a
fighting zone That has assumed
world Importance since the Ethio-
plan war.
This zone lies on the 95 mile pass
age between Sicily and Tunis, North
Africa, with the newly fortified
Italian island of Pantelleria living
midway between.
The maneuvers, supposing an at
tack by foreign foe which has
put landing party on Sicily's west
side, will test out for the first
time the defensive works which
have been under construction for
several years and have been speed
ed by the recent virtual enmity
with Britain.
