Restoration to Throne
Nearer for Alfonso

ROME. Dec. 16 R.-The exiled
former King Alfonso saw his ancient
royal Burbon house nearer to re-
gaining the throne Of Spain today
as the result of an insurgent Spanish
decree restoring the civil rights he
lost under the republic.
The former monarch awaited off,
cial confirmation of the news and
sought clarification of reports that
the insurgents had returned his per-
sonal property in his one time king
dom. He has lived chiefly in Italy
since leaving Spain seven and a half
years ago.
His acting secretary said 52-year-
old Alfonso had no plans to return
Immediately to Spain as a result of
Insurgent Generalissimo Francisco
Franco's action restoring his civil
rights. He is known, however, to
maintain his family's claims to the
presently non-existent throne.
Alfonso's first reaction was one of
natural pleasure" but usually reli-
able quarters in Rome, said he had
little hope Of his own return to rule
Spain.
Members of his suite declined to
comment on possible return beyond
stating that Alfonso would "abide
by the wishes of the Spanish gov
ernment and the people"
Restoration of his personal prop
erty would make Alfonso again q
wealthy man and give him the right
to use at least two palaces in Spain
which were his own possessions.
These are the beautiful Miramar
Palace in San Sebastian and palace
In Santander, which the republic
turned into an international summer
university.

Children know best what

A story brought to The Star
today demonstrates this fact.
A Washington woman who is
an invalid gave her niece $40
with which to buy toys for the
Christmas Campaign of The
Star, Warner Bros. and the
National Broadcasting Co.
When she went to the toy de-
partment of a department store
she found it difficult to make a
selection, because her aunt had
specified that each toy cost at
least 81.
Eager to help out, the toy
clerks called upon all of the
children in the department at
that time. and together they
selected the 40 toys for the
needy Washington youngsters.
The toys will be distributed
by the Parent Teacher Associ-
alton.

Because that's all he got for his

The robber, a colored man, en-

'GIRL, Il, TELLS
ALLEGED ATTACK
BY BENEFACTOR
Foster Father Held on
ChiId's Charge

A sordid story Of how she was
criminally attacked by her fos-
ter father was related today by
Madeline Sophia Turner, 12-year.
old daughter of Brown C. Turner,
Gaithersburg, Md, man now serv-
ing a term in the House of Cor
rection and facing the whipping
post for wife-beating.
Under arrest on the charge
made by the little girl is James
McGill, 81, Of the 900 block I St.
N. w. Known also as James Gill
strap, and James Gilman, he is
employed in the cafeteria in the
Federal Reserve Bank building.
Arraigned before Judge Hobart
Newman in Police Court today.
McGill pleaded not guilty, and
the case was continued until next
Tuesday so he can obtain counsel.
He was remanded in default Of
$4,000 bond.
GEORGIA CHAIN GANG
Police said that the suspect
served a sentence on the Georgia
chain gang and also was convicted
of attempting to assault a young
girl. He was paroled after serving
several months on this charge.
Following the conviction of Tur-
ner on the wife-beating charge,
his wife, the mother of a num-
ber of young children, received a
letter signed Mrs. James McG1lI.
The letter expressed sympathy
for the family, and offered to take
the oldest girl into the McGill
home as companion for their
five year old daughter, Cath
crime.
AGREES TO PLAN
Mrs. Turner answered the
letter and said she could do moth
ing without talking to Mrs.
McGill. Several days later, Mrs.
Turner told authorities, Mr.. and
Mrs. McGin drove out to see her,
talked things over, and she agreed
to let them take her daughter to
live with them.
On September 16, Madeline told
police, McGill slipped into he1
room at night and attacked her
She was afraid to tell what had
happened, she said, and the at
tacks were repeated.
Mrs. McGil1 finally found them
together, Madeline said. But
McGill's threats kept her from
taking action.
The little girl then complained
to police, and McGill was taken
into custody last night.

FARM REVOLT"
ENVISIONED B Y
SENATOR SMITH.
Demands to Congress;
South in Farley
BY WILLIAM S. NEAL

IN.S.) A farmers rebellion
will force Congress to abandon or
modify the present farm program.
Senator Ellison D. Smith CD OF
South Carolina, chairman of the
Senate Agriculture Committee
predicted today.
AS Smith told Of widespread dis
satisfaction with the law, a group
of southern Senators gathered in
conference at his call to consider
relief for cotton producers.
FOR SIMPLER LAW
Declaring that "you can't regu,
late nature" Smith said cotton
farmers probably will reject a new
cotton crop control program in a
fall referendum.
I'm my opinion farmers, both
grain and cotton, will demand
Simplified form of farm legisla-
ton" said Smith, zone they can
more readily adapt themselves
to than the complicated cotton,
tobacco and grain programs.
II think the great mistake was
in trying to adapt the farmer
to legislation rather than adapt
legislation to the farmer. After
80 years experience I hope, when
Congress convenes, to have a
bill that, from my standpoint,
will furnish the basis for per-
manent farm legislation"
DEMANDS TO WALLACE
Smith proposed to the Southern
Senators Conference that they
demand that Secretary OF Agrl
culture wallace Immediately
order the maximum government
loan on cotton. He asserted that
under the new Farm Act the max
imum loan is approximately lis
cents a pound. The base loan
now being made is 8.3 cents g
pound.
""The present loan allowed is

and the plight of the cotton
farmers is as bad as it was dur

sion" he said.
While the price Of cotton has
not sunk to the depression low
cost of fertilizer and other things
has risen 81 that the farmer il
relatively as bad off as in 1882
he added.
MILLER'S PROPOSAL

sas, who was called back to hi!
home State, left a proposal tina
Secretary Wallace be urged to us'

subsidy. He expressed belief tina

said that, based on past precedent
America will be using ten times as
much electricity II years from now
as 1t does at present. He then said
that we must Immediately begin

observes: "To carry out what the
administrator proposes would re-
quire a sum in billions per year for
the next II years that would equal
all the other billions annually being
collected in taxes to operate our fed

billion dollars, more or less. prob
ably more, would have to be ex-
pended for facilities to provide ten
