radical troops were reported still
holding their positions in the
Usera district this morning.
The insurgent attack on the Bar.

7 p. m. fighting recommended in
the University City area. Noise Of
the violent battle, fought in q tor
rental rain, thundered through
Madrid all night and today.
A dramatic struggle was waged
in University City after govern.
ment forces, determined; to dis
lodge insurgents, blew up the right
wing Of the hospital in University
City and then charged and entered
the building, upper stories of
which were occupied by en-
trenched insurgents.
The hospital stairway was de.
stroyed and the position of the
trapped insurgents was believed
critical.
The blasts, caused by explosions
Of two mines under the hospitals

.attson Slayer Hunt
Moved to California
By Federal Agents

LOS ANGELES, Jan. IS 0N.S0.
Whether either or both of two Sus-
poets in Jail here had anything 60
do with the kidnap-murder of To-
year-old Charles MattSon in Ia
coma, Wash, will be determined
definitely today by fingerprints.
G-men made this admission to-
day, verifying reports that definite
fingerprints of the actual killer
had been obtained near the crime
scene.
The intensive manhunt for the
slayer was concentrated in South
ern California today after the arri-
val here of Harold Nathan, field
general for j. Edgar Hoover.
Nathan, who flew here, was fol-
lowed by seven aides who had been
working with him in the North
west since little Charles was kid
naped December 81.
One suspect gave his name as
Joseph Mitchell. 35. He was
found in a hobo Jungle" near
Culver City, Cal. Officers said he
answered the description of the
kidnaper. In his duffle bag Of
ficers said, were a boys sweater
and newspaper, clippings of the
kidnapping and murder.
The other suspect was seized
by Omen under John H. Hanson,
Los Angeles chief. He was un-
identified.
TACOMA, Jan. 18. 0N.S0.
Search for the kidnap-Slayer of 10
year-old Charles MattSon shifted
today to southern California after
G-men had arrived at the conclu-
sion they finally have identified
the fiend.
Reports that definite finger
prints of the kidnaper ere in po-
session of Omen gave additional
weight to the belief the search has
narrowed to one man.

Evils Of Child Labor

Declaring that the evils of child
labor can never be eradicated
until children enjoy adequate pro
lection throughout the nation,
Frank R. Jelleff, speaking for a
committee of local citizens, asked
the support of the National Child
Labor Committee, in its work to
obtain ratification Of the child
labor amendment.
Widespread adult unemploy-
ment has removed every shadow
o. justification for child labor, he
said, and urged that those of the
remaining % States which have
not done so, ratify the amend
ment as soon as possible.

its work are described as being the
prelude to a gigantic financial bat
tie over who is going to control
the mortgage policies and the
mortgage business of the United
States.
The little legal gadget which IS
causing all this ruckus In the So
called era of good feeling on the
hill'' is the law, about to expire,
giving a Government guarantee to
certain debentures which the FILA
gives to bankers in case of a fore
closure. It is a sort of double
check on a banks security in the
matter.
To the layman it sounds just like
one more legality-but to the com.
mercial and other banks who have
been dealing with FILA and financ.
ing homes on the grounds Of Gov.
ernment backing in case OF a loss,
this particular guarantee is ap
parentlv the difference between
progress and a flop on the part Of
the FILA program from now on.
Bulkley Measure
To get this guarantee alive and
we'll again, Senator Bulkley OF
Ohio, member of the Banking and
Currency Committee, has intro
duced the proper legislation.
The New Dealers on the hill
say that the head man il
the building and loan business
throughout the whole country has
taken his case to the White House
where. so it is related, he did moi
see the President, but did see Sor
James, who asked his father fol
advice and is said to have received
instructions to be polite-but firm

FILA Program Fought
BYPOWePfulLObby

Meaning that the Administra-
tion is still in favor of the FILA
manner and method of aiding
ordinary folks to buy houses on
one mortgage, a minimum fee
and pay for it all like rent.
The danger of the lobby from
a FILA standpoint is that unless
the Bulkley bill, and whatever
parallel legislation is formed in
the House, are enacted, FILA
loans for new construction will
stop.

v. P. A. TO STUDY
DROUGHT RELIEF
ParIey of Administrators
to Consider New Aid
for Farmers.
Sy tie Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A conference of works progress ad-
ninistrators in Chicago tomorrow on
Midwest drought relief will be the
Governments third step this week TO
aid farmers.
Secretary Wallace and farm leaders
agreed Tuesday on an ever-normai
granary system of crop control. The
Presidents Great Plains Committee
yesterday offered long-range new
economy" for the expansive midway
between the Mississippi and the
Rockies.
Representative Nichols, Democrat,
Of Oklahoma said Administrator
Harry l.. Hopkins told him the w. P.
A. conference would try "to arrange
that farmers now being cared for by
the Resettlement Administration may
transfer to w. P. A. for such periods
as they can spare from their crops" !"
Afterward they would return to the
Resettlement rolls.
While Congressman studied the
Great Plains Committees report urg-
ing permanent change in farming
and land and water usage on the
prairies, Secretary wallace compared
his new crop-control program with
the Agricultural Adjustment Admin
istration system invalidated last year
by the Supreme Court.
He said there was absolutely no
connection" between the new ever
normal granary proposal and the
Presidents efforts to alter the COM
pleXion of the court.
The A. A. A. was a voluntary
system, Wallace told reporters, whereas
the new control method would be
compulsory if approved by the ma
jority of the farmers"
The new scheme is based on Gov
ernment-financed carry-over of sur
plus yields of wheat, corn and other
staples in good years in order to pre-
vent a shortage in poor years.
Wallace declined to express an
opinion on the constitutionality Of
the new proposal. but said it was
shaped with the welfare of agriculture
and the Nation in mind.

n. A. n. Purchases
4,49S,7lO Eggs
To Save FIOcks

When its Springtime in the Winter
chickens will lay eggs. the Agricul-
tural Adjustment Administration has
found out to its chagrin, and to keep
the price from hitting bottom the
A. A. A. bought 4,498,710 eggs from
January IS to February 9.
In explanation of this wholesale
governmental buying the agency said:
THE possibility of still lower prices
and an even more unfavorable rela-
tionship between the price of eggs
and feed threatened widespread dis
posal of laying birds by poultrymer
and further cancellations of advance
orders for baby chicks. This would
in all probability have meant a small
poultry crop and a large decrease in eg;
supplies in the 1878 season, with
accompanying Ill effects to both pro.
ducers and consumers"

FAMILIES TAUGHT
HOW TO HAVE A
CHRISTMAS TREE

Families that in the past have de-
MED themselves the delightful holiday
pleasure of a brilliant Christmas
tree, either for reasons of economy or
for fear of the fire hazard it may
bring into the home where there are
children, now have way to circum-
vent both problems.
For the modestly priced electrical
Christmas tree decorations now not
only can be kept from year to year,
but they completely Danish the dan
ger of conflagrations which all too
often in the past turned gay scenes
into tragedy.
Electrical decorations for the Christ
mas tree come strung on wires linked
into a single circuit which make it
possible for the brilliant lighting eff
fects they produce to be turned on
Dr. off at will. ..
Convenient Decorations
The wiring also makes it possible
for a ne W ease in the actual decoration
of the ire for it is quite unnecessary
To place each single light separate
". The wire may be strung over
branches leaving some lights suspend
ed as if in midair, and others tucked
away in the foliage of the tree.
Furthermore, the electrical tree
lighting equipment may be saved from
Al
year to year and added to as the
Y Christmas decorations budget makes
possible.
The Christmas tree must be consld-
cred a decoration that will be main
tanned in the home throughout the
holiday season, from Christmas eve

through New Years night and it is
the electrically illuminated tree that
is best adapted to this purpose. For
with it's switch control, and with
wiring that is not affected by a rare
failure of a single bulb, it is a mere
matter of touching button to IL
Illuminate it of evenings and turn it
off before going to bed.
1t is a far cry, this modern Christ
mas tree illumination, from the wax
dripping candle light of the past, with
it's danger of igniting the highly in
flammable resinous needles, twigs and
branches.
No Wax to Drip
No more wax to drip on gifts at the
base of the tree, on the carpet on
which the tree sets, or on the clothes
of those who come near to the tree
But best of all there is no more dan
ger of a toddling youngster acciden-
tally pushing lighted candle against
the tree itself, which so easily be-
comes flaming torch:
The electrically illuminated tree
brings convenience, beauty, economy
and safety to the home for the holi-
day season.

help us as we would if another race
was being similarly prosecuted?

feel that in you, and you alone,
