send, up another special message
dealing with the plight of the car
rierS, and urging action on relief
bills at this session.
VIEW ALREADY GIVEN
All he had to say about thl
railroad situation, Mr.. Roosevelt
emphasized, was said in his special
message of several weeks ago. In
this he gave list of recommenda.
tions prepared by a committee Of
experts, and left it up to Congress
as to what permanent plan could
be worked out for salvation Of
the systems.
He offered several immediate
ways to alleviate the financial suf.
ferring of the systems. Translated
into legislation, these proposals
have fallen by the wayside since
the railroads announced q is per
cent wage cut for their employees.
Meanwhile, railroad legislation
and bill to prevent farm acreage
from being draStically reduced con-
fronted Congress in its struggle
for early adjournment.
BREAKDOWN FEARED
Senators in touch with the rail.
road situation declared themselves
fearful that unless something is
done to assist the railroads a
breakdown hitting institutional in.
vestors may ensue after Congress
adjourns.
Hitched to the adjournment
date was the bitter sectional
fight over the wage-hour bill, with
Southern Senators solidly agreed
to filibuster against that measure
until the snow flies" unless dit.
ferentials for the South are pro.
vided.
The Senate had before it today
a bill to revise substantially Sec.
ton 77-B of the bankruptcy law
with a view to facilitating re.
organization Of corporations in
distress.
Quick House approval Of the
Senate-paSsed resolution to create
a committee of congressman and
executive branch officials to In
vestigate monopolistic trends in
industry and finance was gen.
orally forecast.
FARM BLOC FIGHTS
But the farm bloc was on the
warpath. Leaders from the farm
belt said they were worried over
provisions in the crop control law
which require automatic reduction
in acreage when SurpluSeS develop.
With bumper crops anticipated
this year, a drive was on for legis-
lation to relieve the Department
Of Agriculture Of its mandatory re-
quirements to order acreag
slashes. Possibility Of a so per
cent cut in wheat acreage aroused
fears of deep resentment in the
farm belt.
Senate and House confereeS
were battling over the $3,723, ,000,.

) Nationalist troops already are
entrenched in the outskirts of the
city, and its fall is regarded merely
as a matter of time. After occupy
ing Tortosa, the nationalist will
be in position to complete their
drive to the sea and then advance
on a semicircular front against
Barcelona, seat of the loyalist
government.
STRAIGHTEN LINE
Today's nationalist communique
from Salamanca made no specific
mention of the spearhead thrusts
to the coast.
Observers believed an attempt is
now being made by the national
list high command to straighten
out its line running north from
Lerida before making the final
move toward Tortosa.
Nationalist north of Lerida
reached the vital watershed be-
tween the Noguera, Riba Gorzana
and Pallaresa rivers, while troops
of the AEagon army corps crossed
the Riba Gorzana and captured
the village of IbanS De Noguera.
This column then advanced be-
yond Algerri along the road to
Balaguer, which lies to the north
west of Barcelona.
POWER RESTORED
From Barcelona, meanwhile
came reports that electric power
there had been restored and street
cars were running. A government
announcement said interruption
of power was merely the result
OF a power station breakdown.

ming to the east coast.
With its back virtually to the
wall, the loyalist regime resorted
to desperate measures to save
Barcelona. Notes we're sent to
London and Paris asking Britain
and France for permission to buy
arms and ammunition to match
the mechanical superiority of the
nationalist.
At the same time the govern
ment underwent a vigorous cabi
net shakeup to rally all politica
factions for resistance. Premier
Juan Negrin assumed dictatoria
powers and took over the post Of
War Minister Indalecio Prieto

also took command of the finance
and economics ministries.
LAUNCH OFFENSIVE
Loyalist troops launched fierce
offensive on the southwestern
Andalusian front to divert ma
tionalist forces from the Gaia

this offensive successful" and
said the loyalists we're advancing
toward Higuera, 10 miles north

Big Campaign on For
Voting Sunday
BY PIERRE ]. HUSS

BERLIN, April 6 GN.S).
German Nazis today predicted an
IS per cent victory for Hitler in
the Austro- German plebiscite fixed
for Sunday, although the common
hope here is that a second Saar,
with its famous 81 per cent ma
jority, will be achieved.
The Saar plebiscite, it will be
recalled, was the climax Of holly
contested battle in 1885 for or
against the return of that rich
territory to Germany, it's mother
land. The question at stake April
10 is merely the expression of
approval or disapproval of the
Austro-German anschluss, a fat
accompli from the moment Hit
lerS troops marched into Austria.
BIG CAMPAIGN
But an overwhelmingly favor
able vote on the part of the Ger.
man and Austrian public will be
regarded here as the best proof
to the outside world that by
mutual will both countries of Ger.
man blood have been reunited.
Each vote cast also automatically
speaks for the ReichStag list, for
which a delegate is named on the
basis of every $4,000 votes.
The campaign, headed by Hitler,
Goering and Goebbels, already is
on in full swing and will wind up
with a grand climax in Vienna fol-
lowing a thorough-going Austrian
tour equal to any of the Ameri.
can campaigns staged by Republl-
can or Democratic presidential
candidates.
MANY PARADES
Nothing in the visual part of
campaigning has been left to the
Imagination and Nazi Snowman
ship in Austria itself is proving to
be particularly impressive and ef-
fective. Huge assemblies, storm
troop parades, torchlight process
sions and constant pep speeches
indoors and outdoors and radio
broadcasts are expected TO whip
up public enthusiasm to fever
pitch by April 10. More energetic
preparation and campaigning on
the part of the Nazis has not been
witnessed since before the Saar.
It can be expected that the re-
suit of the plebiscite will be an
occasion for unrestricted popular
rejoicing from the Rhine to the
Danube.
