Fostering Equestrian Statues h Washing gton Are AH Wrong
 M Design; Writer Explains lt
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, April 2.-After a somewhat rambling personal sur vey, we can fairly well set at rest that old notion that the position Of the feet of the horse in an eques- trian statue indicates whether the rider died in battle, died of wounds or died a natural death.
 Maybe you haven't heard about it, but the idea is prevalent here for some unexplainable reason, per haps because the town is so full of statues that they constitute a traffic hazard worse than pedes- trians.
 Where the idea originated is un- known to use at the moment but it is this:
 If the horse in statue is prancing
 so that two feet are off the
 ground, it means the rider died
 in battle.
 If the horse has onIy one foot off
 the pedestal, the rider died of
 wounds.
 If the horse casually strolls across
 the pedestal with all four feet
 on the ground, the rider was
 lucky enough to die in bed.

vALINO GOES
 ON TO COAST
 VIA CANDESA
Two Thousand Prisoners Taken by Insurgents in
 Fierce Drive in Spain

ZARAGOZA, April 2.-Insurgent troops under General Valino today occupied Gandesa, only 21 miles from the Governments Eastern Coast-the last important Tarrag- ona Province stronghold barring the Insurgent march to the Medit- erranean.
 The Insurgent raid on Gandesa resulted in the capture of 1000 pri- soners. Gandesa was at the apex of the triangle formed by that city and the cities of Tortosa and Tar ragona southwest of Barcelona, on the coast.
 If the Franco drive carries be- tween the two coastal cities, the Government of Spain will be dis membered.

BARCELONA, April 2.-Spanish officials have threatened to court martial any workers who failed to report at their factories during the present civil war crisis Labor un- ions asked factory superintendents to make lists of men failing to show up. Absentees will be libel to trial.
 The task of the authorities in Barcelona grew difficult as 60,000 refugees swarmed into the city from the war zone. The directors of Pub lie Safety issued stringent regula- tions to prevent disorder in Bar celona while the Government is making desparate efforts to slave off military collapse at the front.

Members Voting on Wheth- CT to Put Entire Indus
 try on Unfair List
PROPOSITION ADOPTED
 BY FISHERMEN'S UNION
Conciliator Cheney Optim- istic Over Chances for
 Settlement Soon

SEATTLE, April 2. Districa Council No. 1 of the Maritime Federation of the Pacific last night unanimously recon mended that component unions take immediate action on the following proposi- tion:
 That all operations in the can ned salmon industry, includ ing warehouses where salmon is stored and handing and transportation of salmon be declared unfair, and that all operations be picketed."
 The Federation statement said:
 This action is being taken be- cause the District Council feels an attempt is being made by certain packers to raise prices of existing stocks through forcing a shutdown of the Alaska salmon industry"
 The statement requested action immediately and said seven unions in the Federation would vote dur ing the coming week.
 Unionists sad a membership or the Alaska Fishermen's Union un- animously had adopted the proposi- ton, tabulation from all unions to be in by next Friday.
 Joseph Cheeny, Federal Concilia- tor said today that negotiations between the cannery operators and unions would be resumed Monday.
 q think we have eliminated every controversial issue with one possible exception and feel that in the process of settlement all parties arc acting in good faith but from diff ferent viewpoints" he said. T think we are making definite progress.
 This would not be serious labor dispute if it were not for the time element which makes it extremely serious. P osSibly the worst phase of the whole situation is the fact that Alaska derives much of it's revenue from the case tax on salmon. If none is packed it means no revenues.

NAVAL TEXTS ON BIC SHIPS
 MADE PUBLIC
Notes Between Three Ma tons on "Escalator
 Clause" Given Out

WASHINGTON, April 9 The State Department made public to- day the texts of three notes that have passed between the United States, Great Britain and France regarding the so-called "Escalator Clause" in the London Naval Treaty
 The iEscaiatof Clause" provides if non -signatory nation should ex- ceed the limit tons stipulated under the London treaty. the signatory nations may likewise exceed the treaty limitations.
 The United States government re- gently indjcated that the "Escalator Clause" should be invoked because one non-signatory nation, Japan, has refused to divulge her naval plans. Reports from the Far East have indicated, however, that Japan plans to construct battleships ex- ceeding the 35,000 ton limit provid- ed for under the London treaty.
 Great Britain and the United States informed each other they would build battleships of more than 35,000 tons with guns of more than 16-inch calibre provided for under the act. France states that she will not exceed these limits providing no other European nations, namely Germany and Italy, exceed the limi- tations.
 The notes of the two English speaking nations were almost iden- tical. They said in effect: Japan is reported to be building or planning to build super battleships. Japan has refused to deny that she is building super battleships. There fore, for self protection, we will also build super battleships."

STOCK MARKET
.EASIER; PRICES
CHANGE LITTLE
Opening Is Oppressive
But Issues Recover
BY LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, Jan. % 0N.SO
The stock market eased moder-
ately today with price changes gen.
orally of little significance.
The market opened somewhat
lower and continded to slip until
support was met midway in the
first hour. Then a slow recov'
cry from extreme lows was eff
fected, with few scattered issues
reaching previous closing levels.
UTILITIES SLIP
Representative utility issues, as
North American, Consolidated
Edison, Electric Power and Light,
Public Service of New Jersey, and
Columbia Gas and Electric, slipped
small fractions.
ChrySler in motors changed a
fractional loss into an equal gain,
then settled back around it's previ-
Gus close. General Motors eased
some. Bethlehem backed and
filled around last nights final
price, while U. S. Steel lost a lit
tie ground. Coppers recovered
most of their early small declines,
with Kennecott virtually I'm
changed.
