Slipshod Reporting By Re- publican Newspapers in
 State Cause FurOre LOCAL COP. PAPER
 SENSATIONALIZED IT Capital Was Attempted Over Incorrect Version
 Given Cows Speech
Special to The DemOcrat)

Hartford, July 18.-Slip- shod political reporting by Republican newspapers of the state was decried today by Gov. Wilbur L. Cross when the executive denied that he had made any reference. to the Waterbury situation in a speech before the Fairfield County Young Democrats Saturday at Fairfield.
 "At no time did I mention or refer to the Waterbury situation. In fact, specifically said that this has nothing to do with Waterbury or any other municipality" he said.
 Some newspapers in the state. particularly in Waterbury, yester- day deleted the governors specifi- cation that he was not referring to Waterbury and attempted to make political capital of the partial and inaccurate report of the remarks. The Waterbury newspaper made glaring headlines of the erroneous interpretation in an attempt to re- fleet upon Governor Cross. The Hartford Courant carried the news service report under small head on its front page.
 Incorrect Version
 Capital was attempted over the incorrect version of the governors remarks relating to his "surmising" the Waterbury situation "eight years ago." when he first took office. There was no mention made in the Sun- day report of the governors stipula- tion that he was not referring to Waterbury when he said:
 "They say the governor must be troubled because people have be- trayed public office. It didn't take me long to surmise the situation. There was no opportunity for the governor to act until he had Democrat for an attorney general. So far as wrong-doings, the initial discoveries came from the attor- ney general"

REMINGTON co.
 EMPLOYES BACK

Syracuse, N. Y, July 18-(UP) - Nearly 500 Remington-Rand en- ployes, who went out on strike at the company's plant here in 1886, were reported back on their old jobs today as the National Labor Relations Board opened an investi- gation of supplementary charges filed against the company by union leaders last week.
 The workers returned to their jobs under an NLRB order directing the company to re-hire all employees who went out on strike. Approxi- mately 1000 workers walked out of the Syracuse plant, according to union leaders. The deadline for re- hiring the workers was last Friday.
 The principal supplementary charges against the company con- cern alleged failure to restore semi ority right and failure to recognize union bargaining rights.
 Most Syracuse strike leaders, who received a share of $40,0G0 paid last week as back wages since May, 1886, had not cashed their checks pend- ing verification of the amounts paid,

NChisCu AicSS os"AA O~AASSP~
 Burgos, Spain, July 1S.- (UP)-GeneralisSimo Fran. cisco Franco asserted today that his Nationalists had vir' tually won the two-year ole Civil War. In an interview with the United Press, Franco summed up the last two years of fighting and charged that the "criminality" of Loyalist leaders was responsible for the pro- longed conflict which has taken an estimated 100000 lives. "The war has been won on land and sea, in the air and industrially and econ- omically," he asserted Tt is not ended yet because of the spirit ci' criminality of the red leaders who do not feel the flood uselessly poured out and because of the obstancy of Russia which is making every effort to unloose a war over Europe"
 Bad Faith of Loyalists
 Asked whether he considered the British plan for withdrawing foreign troops from both sides workable, Franco said:
 "The first problm (of the plan) is the bad faith of our adversaries. already demonstrated by the number of foreigners passing over to our side these days, and the tactics Of concealing foreigners by mingling them with other soldiers. We are carefully studying the problems in- volved now"
 In reply to question as to whether the eventual failure or the suspen- sion of an international non-inter- vention policy would jeopardize Na- tionalist victory, Franco replied.
 Because I am anxious to save Spanish lives, would lament pro- longation of the struggle which al- ready has been virtually decided.
