NATIONALISTS
 STILL BOMBING

Hendaye, French-Spanish From tier, Aug. 10.-(UP)-Nationalist big guns and planes hammered the Gandesa front held by the remnants of Gen. Vicente Rojo's four Loyal ist shock divisions which started the Ebro offensive two weeks ago.
 The smelling and bombing evident ly was the prelude to a counter at- tack in attempt to drive the Loyal ists from their last bridgehead on the west bank of the Ebro. The 42nd Division already had been thrown back across the river from the Fayon sector.
 Generalissimo Francisco Franco massed 60,000 Moors, Foreign Le- gionnaires and Galicians for the at- tack.
 Foreign observers agreed today that of 50,000 Loyalists who crossed the river on II bridges two weeks ago, 10000 have been killed, wound ed or taken prisoner. Of the 24d Division of 13,000 men, barely 4,000 got back across the Menquinenza bridge.
 Many were drowned trying to swim the Ebro to escape Franco's shell fire which mangled thousands of others. The Nationalists took only 4000 prisoners, indicating that the death toll was high. These were among the best Republican shock troops.

FARLEY REVEALS
 TALK TO MORGAN

Washington, Aug. 10-(UP)-Na- tional Democratic Chairman James A. Farley revealed today that. Dr. Arthur E. Morgan, busted chairman of the Tennessee Valley Authority, had ignored his advice to appoint IVA employees acceptable to con- greSsmen in that area.
 This incident along with vigor- ous defense of patronage and the two-party political system, was in- cluded in the second of a series of articles Farley is writing for the American Magazine.
 Analyzing Dr. Morgan's recent troubles in the IVA, Farley writes that the former IVA chairman started off on the wrong foot" Ot meeting with Dr. Morgan to dis cuss plans for appointments, he said:
 Although I suggested no one for appointment, I hinted that it would be wise to avoid appointing people unacceptable to the senators and representatives from that area (TVA), pointing out that it is a smart practice in government to avoid antagonizing the men who vote the appropriations.
 "Dr. Morgan promptly replied, in what seemed to me a discourteous fashion, that he would appoint whom he liked and that he had no interest whatever in politics"

FATHER PLACED
 IN PREDICAMENT

Paris, Mo-. Aug 10.-CUP).-Nat Young, wealthy central Missouri farmer. faced the hardest task of his life today. He obtained an at- torney to defend his only son, Cliff ford Young, 29, who confessed yes- terday that he had plotted to kill him.
 The 60-year-old farmer was broken and dejected as he listened to details of the plot.
 ITO think that my only son want ed me dead so he could get my money" he said. "It's the bitterest thing that has ever happened in my life. But I don't want him to go to the penitentiary."
 The son, in his confession, told Tom Proctor, Monroe county prese- cutting attorney, that his father was to have been shot down, July 16, by four men hired by him. The plot failed, he said, when he did not pay a $500 fee to the prospective murderers.
 The elder Young said that he wanted his son sent to a mental hos pital rather than to the penitentiary.

FOUR CIO UNIONS
 GIVEN SUPPORT

Los Angeles, Aug. 10-(UP)-Four Los Angeles c. I. O. unions which repudiated Harry Bridges, West coast CIO leader, today won the sup port of Homer Martin, president of the United Automobile Workers.
 Scarcely had Martin, who is hav- ing trouble within his own union, informed the rebelling unions of his sympathy when one Los Angeles U. A. w. local voted to support Bridges by sending delegates to the state CIO convention here next week.
 In telegram to William Busick, leader of the rebelling faction, Mar tin praised the action of the four unions and asserted that the unions were correct in charging Bridges with being "a dictator and a com- munist supporter"
 Busick reported Martin pledged the support of the 13,o00 members of the Los Angeles local in the fight against Bridges. But when the Los Angeles U. A. w. was asked about Martins statement, the General Mo- tors local already had voted to sup port Bridges.
