BLAME NAzIS
FOR DEFEAT
Radical Defense Junta
Admits Insurgent
Gains in Conflict
By THOMAS A. LOAYZA

DJ AAAONAH0 ACGA - AAhA
MADRID, Jan. 5 QN.S0.-Ma
drid's radical defense junta in a
communique today admitted i'm
portant insurgent gains in fight
ing northwest of Madrid yester-
day and laid the blame" for the
loyalists' defeat directly upon Ger
many.
whereas in the past insurgent
successes have been minimized
and news reports of them have
been censored, the military defense
junta today admitted frankly the
radicals lost ground under yester-
days intense insurgent lombard
ment.
The defense junta stated the in
surgent successes were made pos
sible by participation of German
armed forces in Spain and by the
advice of General Wilhelm Faupel,
charge d'affaires at the German
legation at BurgoS, insurgent
junta capital.
General Faupel, said the radical
announcement, actually is COM
mander of the forces now be-
sieging Madrid"
The insurgent gains were made
particularly in the areas about
Mahadahonda, Ell Plastic, and
Las Rozas, all just few miles
northwest of Madrid on the all
important highway to Escorial.
In these sectors, said an official
communique, the enemy yester.
day gained ground and compelled
the loyalists to retreat to we'll
fortified positions"
A heavy fog hindered both sides
in this region today, and there
was little activity for possession
of the key points.
More than 1,400 noncombatants
mostly women and children, were
evacuated from Madrid to south
ern cities this morning.

Debs Deny Stumbling
Political Foes

lthe remaining group were quite
fearful over not being accepted
into the inner circle of social eclat.
And of all things, the reason
given for this social estrangement
was politics. Not by the four
debutantes, but by the grapevine
tendrils that whisper the secrets
Of highborn and lowborn alike.
But take Alice Noel Tucker
mans word for it, that such is not
the case. Miss Tuckerman is the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Walter
r. Tuckerman, who returned to
Washington for her debut after
spending most of the summer at
Bar Harbor. Says Miss Tucker
man:
Certainly I didn't invite all
of the debutantes to my parties
only my friends. And of
course / turned down number
of invitations. You don't expect
me to go to parties with perfect
strangers. And as for politics
playing part in it, l have
friends who are Democrats and
friends who are Republicans,
and 1 have one friend whom l
suspect of having Communist
tendencies"
And there was Mrs. David G.
Porter, wife of Brigadier General
Porter, U. S. M. c., and mother of
Carlile Porter. She pointed out:
'It's ridiculous. / didn't know
that there were 20 other debu-
tanteS. Somebody must be TAX
ing their spite out against the
girls"
And echoing these sentiments,
Mrs. Ralph Worthington, who is
presenting her daughter Ethel
Toombs Worthington to society
declared:
"My daughter isn't snubbing
anyone. She doesn't know the
other girls, and she invited only
the ones she knows. The girls
have a nice time among them
selves, and it certainly is a hor.
rid thought to ascribe to young
innocent girls. Snubbing other
people is not good breeding, and
these girls have long lines of
ancestry back of them"
Less patient was Mrs. Robert
Dove, mother of Ruth Dove, who
was busy with arrangements for
the debutante ball for her daugh-
ter scheduled for tonight. She
said:
Its ridiculous. have no
time to discuss it. / am so sorry"

within exactly three days.
Unless this is done, the German
government warned, two Spanish
steamer seized by Nazi warships
will be turned over to General
Francisco Francois insurgent fleet
and further drastic measures"
taken.
Couched in terms whic h
brought threat of open interven-
tion on the inSurgent side, the
Nazi ultimatum brought shudders
to foreign observers here, and ef-
forts to ascertain what further
measures were likely met with IN
timationS in high naval sources
that a blockade was under con.
sideration.
According to present plans, the
blockade would apply to Spanish
waters in the same manner as
former Kaiser Wilhelm once block
AIDED the Venezuelan coast.
This was described as pacific
blockade" but the United States
took the attitude such a blockade
could not apply to foreign ship
ping, with the result it became a
thoroughgoing war blockade.
According to naval experts here,
a pacific blockade" in Spain
would call for a declaration by the
German government defining the
blockaded zone and the nationali-
ties of ships to be seized on sight.
This declaration, it was said, could
be limited to vessels of the Spanish
loyalist regime or include one or
more other nationalitieS.
Definition Disputed

version is at variance with the
internationally accepted code gov
erning pacific blockadeS," which
provides for detention or SequeS-
tration of neutral vessels violating
the blockade, but absolutely pre-
vents confiscation under any cir.

In the event a blockade is de-
cided upon, certain German naval
forces in Spanish waters will be
reinforced and SeaplaneS will be
used in an effort to bottle up the
Spanish fleet completely.
The ultimatum, delivered by
Chancellor Hitler'S admiral aboard
the cruiser Koenigsberg, was ac-
cepted as a declaration from the
German government. The latter
could not address itself direct to
Valencia because of nonrecognition
of the loyaliSt regime in Spain.

investigators who has been among
the most diligent of those working
for the recovery of the boy.
The investigator said:
1--WE naturally hope the man or
woman who has the MattsOn
boy will free him today"
This was interpreted to mean
that evidence has been uncovered
to indicate the kidnaper has an
accomplice.
AS the day progressed, the crop
of rumors customary in big mys-
terry, again was evident.
First, there was the one that a
wealthy Tacoma attorney had re-
ceiVed threats that one of his chill
dren would be kidnapped. This was
denied by the attorney and all Of
ficers.
Sons Death Threatened
The next was DR.. Mattson had
been notified that his son would
be put to death if police activity
did not cease. The fathers an
swer to this was "phooie."
The feeling that a crisis in the
case was imminent resulted to some
extent from the following:
Late last night Lieut.. Col. Gus
Appelman, Tacoma Chamber of
Commerce official, close friend of
the MattSon family, and the most
prominently mentioned of the pos
sible Intermediates, departed from
the MattSon residence in his car
and disappeared.
Speculation was hat that he
was on his way to pay the $28,-
900 in bills of denominations de-
manded by the kidnaper. but there
was the possibility he had al
ready delivered the money.
G-Men Still Silent
The G-Men, headed by Harold
Nathan, assistant chief to j.
Edgar Hoover, were saying moth
ing, but quietly waiting.
Nathan broke his silence to
assure the kidnaper through the
press that the Government was
staying on the sidelines, in keep.

until the boys release, and after
DR.. Mattson had appealed to all
law enforcement agencies to give

ads.
The latest ad read:
"Mable-We have received your

Interpreted by observers, this
meant the kidnaper had Communi-

VIRGINIA ROAD
ADOPTION UP

ARLINGTON, Va, Jan. 5.-The
Virginia Highway Commission
advised Arlington and Fairfax
county officials it will give con-
sideration to ther proposal to have
the abandoned right of way of the
Washington and Old Dominion
Railroad included in the State
highway system, at hearing in
Richmond yesterday afternoon.
Henry G. Shirley, chairman of
the commission, informed the two
groups of officials that he will
come here in the near future to
personally inspect the proposed 12-
mile highway, from Cherrydale to
Great Falls, before the State body
takes action.
Arlington countys representa-
tives, who included County Man
ager Frank C. Eanrahan, County
Engineer C. L. Kinnier and mem
bers of the county board, offered
the State its part of the railroad
right of way for use as a primary
roau, in a move to aid Fairfax
county officials in their plans to
have the State take over the prin-
cipal part of the trolley roadbed
m that county.
In Fairfax county, the need for
the highway is such that residents
already have hauled away old ties
an scraped the abandoned road
led to permit it's use as an emer
eency highway for a distance of
seven miles. Many residents. from
Mclean to Great Falls, have no
highway facilities to tier homes.
Col. Christopher B. Garnett,
spokesman for the Great Falls and

ton, presented the proposal to the

"Who Wrote Shakespeare"
an Ancient Controversy

The controversy over the author
ship Of Shakespeare's works had its
origin many years ago and appears
from time to time. According to
the Encyclopedia Britannica, cites
a writer in the Detroit News, the
idea that the plays and poems
ascribed to Shakespeare were really
the work of Lord Bacon appears to
have been first presented by Her
bert Lawrence in his work, 1.-The
Life and Adventures of Common
Sense" Q769). The thesis appeared
again in 1848 in j. C. Hart's THE
Romance of Yachting" and in the
article, who Wrote Shakespeare"
printed in Chambers Journal (Au-
gust 5, 1852. The first definite
claim for Bacon'S authorship was
set forth in letter by William
Henry Smith, which was printed in
extended form in 1857, under the
title, Bacon and Shakespeare.
The earls of Rutland, Derby and Ok
ford have also been declared the
real authors, at various times, and
Bacon's claim has been extended to
include the works of practically all
the Elizabethan dramatists. In the
United States, Judge Nathaniel
Holmes wrote the book, "The Au-
thorship of Shakespeare" and the
controversy was continued by 1.
Donnelly's The Great Cryptic
gram" hwich was based on the
theorem that Bacon had embedded
in the plays cipher narrative de-
claring his authorship.
The various writer's based their
claims more or less on the following
points: l. 1t was assumed that
Shakespeare did not have the edu-
cational or cultural background to
write drama, while Bacon did. 2.
Similar phraseology in the works of
both Bacon and Shakespeare tended
to show both to be the work of the
same man, but investigation showed
that such phraseology was common
to all Elizabethan drama. None
of the Investigators have been able
to prove that Bacon or any Of the
other suggested claimants ever
wrote a line of blank verse.
