Spain's Driuers
Are Held Worse
Than Air Raids
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, April 4.-Will Rogers,
jr., son of the late humorist, returned
from the Spanish battlefront today
with the comment that bombs falling
in Barcelona were not so dangerous
to life as "wild-eyed Spanish truck
drivers"
Mr.. Rogers arrived on the s. S.
Queen Mary after several weeks cov-
ering the war for the newspaper ne
owns, the Beverly Hills (Calif.) Citizen.
Il was in Barcelona at the heigh.

he said. THE detonations were ter
rife. The planes few so high and
SO fast that no one saw them and
no warning was given until the bombs
began to fall.
Il never saw so many American
built trucks as there were in Barce-
Iona. Those wild Spanish drivers came
roaring down the streets day and
night. and you had to keep out Of
the way-or else. They were always
Wrecking the trucks, and it looked
as though the road from Barcelona
to Madrid was paved with nothing
but wrecked American trucks"

Sender, Spanish novelist, who pre-
dicted that "even if Franco wins, this
war will last throughout the century,"

any time to say, and it is now i'm
possible to say. how much OF the
business of the corporation has been
| derived from the normal needs of the
people in the course of their daily
production and how much has been
derived from the direct spending and
the relief spending of the Govern
ment.
The country has gone from the
gold standard to managed currency
standard and the full effects of that
change are still obscure.
New System Tried.
For nearly two years the country
tried out new business system under
the National Industrial Recovery Act.
While industrial production and the
whole of distribution were trying to
find their bearings under the N. R. A.
the methods of agricultural enterprise
were profoundly changed by the Agri-
cultural Adjustment Act For a time
the Nation operated under a new
economy that reached after a substi-
tute for competition. That period had
social consequences which are still
with us and which find expression in
the Guffey Coal Act, the Robinson
Patman Act, the Miller-Tydings Act
and other statutes.
Heavier taxes as well as new forms
of taxes have altered both the cost and
the budget factors of doing business
The consequences of these taxes, in
Guiding the charges imposed by the
Social Security Act, are too complex
for definite appraisal at this time"
Mr.. Taylor outlined 10-year physi-
cal revamping of the corporation S

under which, to December 81, 1887,
the corporation had spent for addi-
tions. betterments and modernization

approved as a part of this program,
ne said is sum of 100000, 900, which
would bring the total to $642, 569, ,358
OF the factors which lay behind this
huge program. Mr.. Taylor said:
The country moved from a cap
ital goods economy to consumption
economy. This change probably de-
rives from the fact that a nation
which is not earning its living requires
only such capital goods as are needed
for replacement and in the day-to-day
production of consumption goods.
Record Summed Up.
That is a shift which in the nature

cause its capacity. having been de-
signed for the kind of demand that
existed prior to 1929, stretched over
both capital goods and consumption
goods, with the emphasis on capital
goods"
Summing up the record of his
decade, Mr.. Taylor said:
From 1928 through 1881 the cor
poration's participation in the busi-
ness of the country on an ingot basis
was higher than the percentage of
its capacity to the capacity of the
country From 1882 through 1895 the
corporations participation was less
than its relative capacity. That is.
through those years it was losing some
ground. The trend, however, was re-
versed in 1896 and the upward climb
began"
Capitalization changes to pave the
way for possible financing were up for
approval today.

Principal Changes.
The principal changes include:

Authorization of the board at its dis

The common sold as high as S126 so

In printed extension of his re-
marks, given shareholders at the meet

which has spanned the best and worst
years of modern steel production:
Out of these experiences and
difficulties, there arises within me a
great feeling of gratitude for the
loyalty and the earnest cooperation
that have been displayed throughout

Naugatuck. Feb. 21-Again some exciting basketball games were held at the Naugatuck Y. M. c. A. Fri day night, and the game between Manhattan and Santa Clara will be one game that will not be forgotten i'll some time.
 A change in referees was neces- sary to satisfy various players. With the score 13 to g in favor of Man hattan at the half, it did look as the change was in favor of Santa Clara when the score ran to 16 to 15 for Manhattan, but Manhattan put on the extra pressure and with two minute to go fell behind with the score reading Santa Clara q and Manhattan 20 A final effort by Enamait from past midcourt cut the strings as the whistle blow and the basket counted.

ESCOBAR GETS BACK BANTAM
 CHAMP P|ONSH|P
Jeffra FIoored 3 Times at Puerto Rico; to Box
 as FeatherWeight

San Juan, Puerto Rico, Feb. 21- (UP)-A severe trouncing and loss of the worlds bantamweight crown caused Tarry Jeffra today to aban- don the bantam division and seek a future in the featherweight ranks.
 Sixto Escobar, Puerto Rico's hard hitting little brown man, last night regained the championship that Jeffra took from him last Septem- Der. Before a roaring home-tow crowd of 12,0O0 the islander won 10 of the 15 rounds, and knocked Jeffra down three times to win a unanimous decision.
 Weight Trouble
 Immediately after the fight, Harry's manager, Heinie Blaustein, said: Tt is getting too hard for my boy to pare down to 117 pounds, and we won't try it again. I intend to build him up, and the next time he fights it will be as a featherweight. " (126 pounds).
 Jeffra, whose 37 1-2 per cent of the gate amounted to about $7,000, couldn't evade those smashing right hands that Escobar began throwing in the early rounds. He was bleed ing early from cuts over both eyes. In the seventh, the crowd, sensing a knockout, cheerd Sixto as he drove Harry about the ring
 Up and Down
 A hard smash to the jaw dropped the former Baltimore caddy to the canvas for a count of nine in the 11th. Sixto connected again almost as soon as Harry picked himselg up and the champion took another nine toll. Jetfra was glassy-eyed for the 18th, but he covered up and bicycled through the 18th.
 Desperate in. the 14th, Jeffra be- gan swinging wildly and an over- hand wallop split Sixtos right brow. It gushed blood, but Escobar sent right into Jeffras kidneys that spun the Maryland lad to the floor. He was back up at nine, but most of the sting already had been taken from his blows.

Cunningham Seems Sure to Better 4:O8 Indoor
 World Record

New York, Feb. 21.-lUP)-If Glen Cunningham continues to run the mile progressively as he has thus far this year, he is a certainty to shatter his own indoor mark of 4:0S.4 before the board track sea- son ends.
 His first effort of the year was 4:13.8. Subsequently he was clocked in All and 4:10. In winning the Baxter mile of the New York Ath- letic club games Saturday night, the tireless Kansan trimmed it further to 4:O8.6. It was the second fastest indoor mile ever run and gave Glenn permanent possession of his second Baxtre trophy. He led his perennial rival Gene Vanzke across the line by IS yards. Archie San Romani was third.
 Allan Tolmich of Wayne Univer- sity in Detroit set new world rec ord of 7.2 seconds in winning the 6O-yard high hurdles from Georgia s Forest (Spec) Towns, who held the record of 73.

WelleS And Gents Clash;
 Protest To Be Heard

victory over the Gents tonight will prove to the other participants that the Welles are on their way to the top. Only the Props and Community Club. apparently, stand in the way of the Welles aspirations.
 East End Rivals
 The Sacred Hearts will meet the Robins in the "battle of the East End. in the other contest. Neither teams stands a possibility of figuring ill the finals, but each has a knack of coming dangerously close to knocking off the high-ranking teams. The Hearts played the Props eff their feet last week, only to lose by a one-point margin, which was gained even as the finals gun was poised for action.
 Protest Filed ....
 The Gents of the Hill have filed protest with the board of directors based on a referees decision ill their game Friday night with the Community Club. Action is expected to be taken shortly. This is the first protest of its kind since the league started, and it is believed it will be settled amicably. The argument con- cerns whether or not 8 basket scored at the commitment of a double foul, should be counted.

Crosby Closes Basketball Season With Leavenworth
BY THE OLD GRAD

Crosby basketball team brings it's regular season to close tonight at Wilby gym when Leavenworth high will be the opponent. This will be the second game between the two local rivals. Crosby took the first game by single point-36-35, and if tonight's game should be a repetl- tion of the first, it should be worth going far to see. The Techmen have a faculty of playing over their heads when they face Crosby, be it on the wridron or basketball court. Last fall they held Crosby 716 at Hamilton park, and the 36- B game last month is still fresh in the minds of basketball fans. No doubt tonight Leeavenworth once more will put up a determined fight to capture that first game from a local rival, a game which so far has eluded them.
 In State TOurne,
 Crosby on the other hand, should go after that game in mood to to make the victory more decisive 1 this time. We understand that the boys in blue are anxious to enter the state tournament, and it would seem that they should do something tonight to justify that entry. The team has lost successive games to Torrington, Naugatuck, Wilby and Torrington again. Several of thes games were close, it is true, but they were losers nevertheless, and 1t would seem that decisive victory tonight is absolutely necessary of the team wishes to be regarded as a factor in the state tournament. Another 36-35 win over Leoven- worth, would be one more of those moral victory" affairs for the Tech men.

Praha (Prague) Czechoslovakia, Feb. 21-(UP) ).-Canada' amateur hockey team held the championship of the world today, having defeated England 3-1 in the title final before 12,000 spectators last night.

 The British squad tried desperate ly to crash through the Maple Leafs in the second period, but each time the Canadians managed to turn back the assault. In the final session Canada was satisfied to keep their British cousins at bay without at tempting to score again.
