Even loss Of Valencia would not be

VALENCIA, June 15.-Valencia was
overwhelmed today by an ever-swell-
ing stream Of hungry. war-impov-
erished refugees from Castellon de In
Plana and Castellon Province.
The bullring. many theaters and
every building that could be evac-
uated to make room for them was
packed with the $4,000 already ar
rived.
They brought tragic stories of hours
OF terror spent In dodging bombs and
machine gun bullets from insurgent
warplanes.
The road from Castellon to Valencia
was deaths highway. Scores Of
families told of stopping to scoop out
shallow graves for relatives or friends
killed in the flight. Whole families
were blotted out by bombs.
Most Of the refugees arrived afoot,
carrying their few worldly posses
sions. but a few more fortunate came
by mule cart.
There was scarcely an able bodied
man among them. Adult males were
left behind to dig government trenches
or to take places in the lines.

than to say they were supporters
Of the act in its original form. He
said the conference with the c. l. o.
delegation had been arranged in q
telephone call from Mr.. Lewis.
Previously. yesterdays refusal Of the
Rules Committee to give preferential
status to the legislation had been in
terpreted as clear rebuke to Mr..
Lewis and c. I. O., most vigorous
supporters of the bill OF amend
ments. On Monday Mr. Lewis and
his chief lieutenants had taken over
Speaker Bankheads office for a series
OF pressure" conferences to force
support for the measure. Yesterday
the lieutenants anxiously waited out
side the Rules Committee office As
the matter was being considered.
In brief the legislation would apply
the Walsh-Healey Act to Government
contracts as small as 1000 and would
blacklist" for three years all firms
standing in violation of the National
Labor Relations Act or defiance Of
the National Labor Relations Board.
Although the Rules Committee vote
Of refusal yesterday was not dis
closed, members let 1t be known it
was convincing" in its antagonism
to the measure.
Green Hits Lewis Tactics.
Although the American Federation
Of Labor, like the c. I. O., was sup
porting the legislation. william Green,
A. F. Of L. president, was among those
who blamed the Lewis tactics for the
defeat.
In . public letter last night to all
A. F. Of L. organizations, Mr.. Green
said the episode was typical Of the
c. I. O.'s "all-around stupidity, feeble
mes. Me- .ont'n.s. and outright tre'chery to labor"
All chances Of adoption of these
amendments. which were favored by
the American Federation of Labor,
were ruined by Lewis and his flunkies.
They attempted to dictate to Con-
gress In the same way they dictate to
the c. I. O. unions. Many menfbers
OF Congress who had told US they
would vote for the amendments be-
came SO indignant at Lewis that they
reversed their position. They sat down
on Lewis 80 hard as to make him 4
completely ludicrous figure"
Representative Lamneck, Democrat,
Of Ohio was another who took much
satisfaction from the Lewis defeat.
Lamneck Halls Defeat.
'The American sense Of humor,
which Is widespread, has saved this
Nation from many crashes" Repre-
sentative Lamneck said. "And so
feel that it is going to prevent .
Lewis cataclysm.
There may be funnier things in
tbs world today than John OF the
shaggy locks and weeping willow eye
brows setting up . one-day kingdom
in the Capitol and then having his
regal chair jerked out from under
him, but cannot conceive of it. -
His Capitol Hill clowning has lift
ed great strain from . Nation which
previously was taking him seriously.
His frowns have lost their force.
Perhaps his clouding up and threat
ening to reign will prove the clear
ing shower before the sunshine Of
industrial peace in our Nation"

exact spot. We searched the center
Of the thicket and found the body"

What remark. if any, did Mccall
make when he looked at the body?"
AT that time, when looking at
the body, he said, Why, that

1t was indicated Mccall attempted
to pretend someone else had killed
the boy without his knowledge.
Mccall Evidence.
The confession was offered in evi-
dence without objection.
Federal Agents Samuel X. Mckee
and Harold E. Turner rounded out the
F. B. I. account.
When did you first hear about the
case" Judge Atkinson asked Mckee.
"At $40 am. May 29." the agent
replied. indicating Mr.. Cash had noti-
fed authorities Immediately despite =
threat,of death to the boy.
A physician told Of the decomposed
condition OF the body and then the
mother. in a white dress with red fig-
ures and wearing no hat, took the
stand.
When did you last see your child?"
Mr.. Worley gently inquired.
Il put him to bed and went over to
the grocery store. I came back to the
house and came in and looked In his
little bed and found it empty. Then ]
turned on the lights and began to look
around"
On Verge Of Weeping.
She was escorted from the room on
the verge Of weeping after identifying
Skeegie's pajamas.
Mr.. Worley announced that con-
cluded his case. Mr.. Kehoe said he
expected to call some witnesses and
would require about an hour.
The prisoner sat at the table with
his head down and . handkerchief
to his eyes. At intervals he removed
the handkerchief to wipe perspira-
ton from his face.
Mccall said he was innocent of q
charge Of numbering the child, how
ever.
Arraigned quickly after . special
grand jury indicted him on charges Of
kidnapping and numbering the Cash
child, Mccall told guards that "only
two persons know I did not intention
ally kill the boy. One Of them is God
Almighty and the other is myself"
In his signed confession which In
spector E, J. Connolly of the Federal
Bureau Of Investigation outlined to
the jury, Mccall admitted placing
handkerchiefs over the child's mouth
and eyes to prevent an outcry, but
said his death was accidental.
Florida's law provides the death pen
atty for kidnapping.

Are you married and did you have

Yes" Mr. Cash answered.
Where is the child now?"
He is buried"
When did you last see him alive?"
About $50 the night of May 20.
Did you about or before that time
see the defendant, Franklin Pierce
McCall?"
Yes. saw him in the store where
Mccall came in to ask the time"
When did you miss the child?"
About 10:15. My wife discovered
he was missing"
Gives Details Of Search.
Mr.. Worley then led the father
through details of search for the
lad, leading to discovery of the first
OF three ransom notes at the home Of
. Negro, John Emanuel.
Mr.. Cash said the note was turned
over to the Federal Bureau of In
vestigation and later returned to the
kidnaper in the shoebox in which the
$4,000 ransom was paid
A photostatic copy was Identified
by Mr.. Cash and introduced in evil
dence.
Mr.. Cash also identified the other
two notes and the white and rose
striped pajamas the boy was wearing
when he was stolen from his bed.
When did you first know definitely
the boy was dead?" Mr.. Worley asked.
About week later, when was told
by the sheriff and the r. B. l."
did you identify the body?"
Here Mr.. Cash hesitated, his chin
quivered and he seemed near breaking
down, but finally answered:
well, I saw his pajamas."
Boys Aunt Follows.
| The pajamas and the COPIES of the
ransom notes were shown to Mccall
and Mr.. Kehoe and the latter an
nounced he had no objection to their
introduction.
Mrs. Wilson p, Cash, aunt of the
victim, followed the father to the
stand.
Tells Of Night Visitor.
The aunt testified only briefly, and
Mrs J. B. Cash, the mother. was sent
for. While her presence was awaited
Emanuel was placed on the stand.
The Negro related how q nocturnal
visitor pounded on his door and
shouted, boy. come here
What you want?'" Emanuel
said he replied.
Boy. give this note to J. B. Cash
anc I'll give you S.
WHO is you?'
That doesn't matter. Take this
note TO j. B. Cash."
Emanuel said he replied he wasn't
going to take no note" and the visitor
left. Later a group of men, directed
to the shack by q second note. arrived
and found the first message on
Emanuel's doorstep.
Mccall Found Spot.
Inspector E. j. Connolly Of the
r. B. I. detailed the two statements
Mccall made-the first admitting only
the writing of the ransom notes and
collection OF the money and the SEC
ond making . complete admission of
the kidnapping.
Did the Federal agents have Nc
Calls help In searching for the body?"
Mr.. Worley asked.
Yes, We talked Of places where
the body might Be and Mccall sug-
gested an area as the most logical
place to search. He took Us to sew
eral places and finally to the thicket
where the body was found.

LONDON, June 15.-Prime Minis
ter Neville Chamberlains refusal to
pledge protection to British vessels

a wave Of discomfort through some
sections Of his supporters today.
Many Conservatives, openly favor
ing British reprisals for last weeks in
sureent air attacks, were far from
satisfied with the Prime Minister'S
statement yesterday threatening
cooling of Anglo-Spanish insurgent
relations If the attacks continued.
Premier Chamberlain told the House
Of Commons effective protection could
not be given unless Britain were pre-
pared to take an active part In the
hostilities.
Virtually echoing Socialist mistrust
Of Britain's unbreakable ofdcial zeal
for non intervention in Spain, these
Conservatives were secretly welcom-
ing Labor leaders demands for further
debate. hoping for an opportunity to
press the government into taking q
stronger stand.
Labor elements fairly sizzled. The
Daily Herald said, If Franco (Gen-

But many of Premier Chamber
