The insurgent power drive against
the Teruel highway appears to be
stalling again before increasing gov
eminent resistance. In many sections
of the mountainous front, which
guards the highway to the coast, gov
eminent counter 'offensives in the
last two days have recaptured ter
ritories lost to General Frances
forces.
Insurgents who previously claimed
they had taken Mora de Rublos re-
ported today they had forced entry,
but that government defenders were
still holding to its center, with bitter
fighting centering on the outskirts.
With government resistance, the
insurgents said they were advancing
slowly on two wings of the central
front.
Much of the government resistance
was attributed to it's revised air
corps.

Washington, June 2.-When Presi-
dent Roosevelt leaves the White House
in 1941 or 1915 or whenever he does,
he can point backward to one accom-
plishment that not even his bitterest
critic can find fault with.
His administration is solidifying the
Americas, North, South and Central,
in admirable fashion.
Uncle Sam was not overly popular
from the Rio Grande to Cape Horn
at the time of 'F. DIS" first inau-
guration. President Hoover did, in
deed, try hard to improve Pan Amer
lean relations but he had rather to
cold a personality to appeal to our
southern neighbors. They were appre-
ciative of his obviously kindly feeling
toward them but they did not wax
enthusiastic.

Barkley's statement came during

The restriction was recommended
by the Senate Appropriations COM

If the restriction Of PWA allot-
