BurgoS said. GeneraliSSimo Fran
cisco Francois advance units drove
on into Loyalist territory and by
midday had reached a point 10
and one-half miles from the sea.
The Nationalist were advancing
in the direction of Cervera Del Ma
estro, a push that loomed as a
final death thrust.
In hard day of fighting yester-
day, the Nationalists stormed and
captured the dominant heights be-
tween ebert and San Mateo. From
the hills they could look down on
the sea, and plot their course.
The Nationalist, by their gains
of the last two days, had formed
battle line nearly 25 miles long
with Morella as its center. They
were seeking to encircle the Loyalist
positions and force a mass retreat
that would open a route to the sea.
John de Gandt. United Press
staff correspondent who has accom-
panied the Nationalist armies since
Iile early Gays OF the civil war,
wired from the Catalonian front
that because of their strategy the
Nationalists planned to proceed
slowly. The lines were plainly
drawn on both sides, he reported,
and so that surprise thrust by the
Nationalists in the Morella zone
were no longer possible. Hence, he
said, further advances would be
made in a series of Jumps with
artillery, airplanes and tanks sup
porting the infantry.

The program would involve use
of the administrations 81 400. .000,-
600 gold nest egg.
Mr.. Roosevelt, working until 2:45
am. today to re-shape his plans
after conference with congressional
leaders, will go on the air at l0:3O
PM, EST, tonight to rally popular
support for the New Deal against
an economy minded opposition
which some persons believe in
cludes Vice President John N. Gar
ner.
General objective of the new
plan was to increase national in
come in the next couple of years
from the present rate of $56,000,-
100000 to around 000,0000 900 a
year. The plan fell in three general
categorieS:
Maintenance of relief.
2.-EXpansion of credit.
3.-ReviVal of Public Works and
additional funds for certain active
New Deal recovery agencies.
The expansion of credit program
would include:
Use of approximately 81, AGO.,
100000 of sterilized and free gold
and relaxation of bank reserve re-
quirements.
2.-Better coordination of bank
ing supervision.
disqualification of security ex-
| change commission regulations eS-
pecially to assist financing of small
business enterprises. This latter
| project probably would involve
| freeing from many burdensome re-
quirements the issue of small lots
of securities in behalf of little
business
4.-Progressive increase of avail
able bank credit provided by each
dollar of new federal spending.
Mr.. Roosevelt asked for a united
national will in the recovery effort.
He pointedly called attention of
congress and country to the con-
tention that his legislative recon-
mendations since Jan. l had not
been of a type calculated to dis
turb business.
THE record speaks for itself" he
said No other measures affecting
business have been proposed"
The lending g-spending- credit ex-
panSion plan breaks down as fol-
lows:
1.-S2 ,O62 100000 of treasury ex-
penditures to make work.
$3.50 100000 of treasury
loans to make work
3.-$1 ,500,000,000 of reconstruction
finance corporation loans to aid
business and states and their sub
divisions.
4.-Desterilization of 81 1872 900 900
gold. use of $210,000,000 free gold
already in the treasury working
balance and federal reserve reduc-
ton of reserve requirements by
about S750000,000.
The credit expansion involved is
tremendous but the fourth category
requires no legislation. being a
bookkeeping transaction which will
not affect the national debt or the
budget deficit in any way.
Mr.. Roosevelt told congress that
beyond this program there were
certain needs" which should be
conSidered
illumination of future tax eX-
emption of bonds of all govern
ment agencies.
2.-Subjection of all government
salaries and wages from any
source to federal and state income
taxation.
3.-Solution of the railroad, mon
opoly and price fixing problems.
