be designed to hasten negotiations
for peace with Gen. Franco. Miaja' S
government excluded Communists.
Uprising Begins in Barracks.
The Communist insurrection was
reported to have started in barracks
outside the gates Of the capital al
dawn. Censored dispatches from
Madrid reported that some of the
Communist units surrendered dur
ing the day, but the radio appeal
for peace made it plain that the
rebellion was not quelled completely
In any case, border observers be-
lieved the counter-revolution would
hasten the end of the war by
weakening Madrid's defenses against
the nationalists who ringed the cap
ital, awaiting the outcome of the
internal struggle.
Some French reports said that
Gen. Miaja was preparing for peace
talks with Franco at the same time
that he was attempting to put down
the revolt within his own ranks.
Gen. Segismundo Casado. a cavalry
officer in the regular army who re-
manned loyal to the government
after frances military uprising in
1886, was said to have been desig-
mated as Miaja's agent for the peace
conversations. Gen. Casado headed
the defense council in his first hours

Accept Minority Proposal.
Amid cloakroom discussion of the
new tax measure. the Senate leader
ship accepted Republican proposal
to limit manufacturers profits under
the Army expansion bill. The ac-
ceptance cleared the way for passage
of the $3.50. 900 900 measure.
Senator Tobey. Republican. of
New Hampshire. advanced the plan
to limit profits under the bill to 10
per cent-a limitation which already
is in effect on naval ship construc-

Eight Republicans and one Farm

Several members of the Senate
Naval Committee, including Chair
man Walsh. expressed doubt that
the group would approve the pro-
posed s5,0O0,000 expenditure at
Guam.
Senators Walsh. Andrews, Demo-

project might be rerouted through
Congress as a rivers and harbors

Senator johnson, Republican, OF
California, questioning whether an
outlay of only $5.00000O would be
worth anything, said he favored
fortifying the island.
Senator Lucas, Democrat, of Hi

still had an open mind on the
Guam proposal. but that the ex-
penditure might be the beginning
of an ultimate fortif1cation which
would cost 5000, 100000.

Farley Spite Caused Transfer,
Woman CHARGES in Suit

Postmaster General Farley was
accused in District Court yesterday
of taking spite action against a
woman employe of the Railway Mail
Service by transferring her to a sta
ton H.. miles from a street car line
because she won a suit forcing him
to raise her salary $3.50 per year.
Miss Thilda B. Steenson. 1895
Dayton avenue, st. Paul. Mimi, told
the court In complaint that Mr.
Farley transferred her from the
Terminal Railway Post Office at ST.
Paul to the air mail field at Mime
apolis which, she declared is one of
the least desirable locations of the
mail service.
Miss Steenson. through Attorney
Cooper B. Rhodes, said Mr.. Farley
took this action as punishment after
she won a suit in District Court last
month forcing him to restore her
to grade five at salary of $2,45C
after having been "unlawfully and
improperly" reduced to grade four.
earning $3.50 per year less.
The complainant declared that aft

Francisco Franco for a worthy
peace" when the struggle broke out
with the Communists, who apparent
ly seek to force a continuation of
the war.
Dispatches from Madrid said that
the Republican air force was being
called out to assist in putting down
the insurrection and to demonstrate
to the populace its loyalty to the
Miaja regime.
The Madrid radio station broad
cast an appeal to Communist soldiers
urging them to cease fighting
against their former allies in the
civil war against the Nationalists,
whose troops were poised for a
thrust at Madrid unless an early
surrender were forthcoming.
A message from Julian Besteiro
defense minister of the New Defense
Council, was also broadcast, at
tempting to justify the new regime
which had unseated Negrin.

Relief-an important factor in
any economy debate-was expected
to provide new fireworks soon. Presi-
! dent Roosevelt was said to be pre-
pairing to give Congress. within the
next few days, his detailed reasons
for wanting sl50O0O.0O0 more for
relief this fiscal year. Congress
trimmed his original request for a
supplemental appropriation by that
exact figure, from $875, 1000 900 to
$725 100000.
Economy minded Senators said
frankly they did not expect any
substantial reductions in the ap-
preparations now before Congress,
because every proposed cut affects
so many politically powerful groups
that rarely can a majority be found
to support it,
They predicted that since the 1910
session will Immediately precede the
presidential nominating conventions,
the only politically practical action
at the time would be to trim ex-
penses if the debt limit is not in
creased.
Senator Burke, Democrat, of
Nebraska. New Deal critic. said he
believed defeat of a proposal to ex-
tend the debt limit would have "a
most helpful effect on the country
at time when we are doing every
thing possible to increase business
confidence"
Byrd Wants Cut.
Senator Byrd, Democrat, Of Vir-
ginia said he would like to see
81 600, 100000 or more cut from the
Federal budget for the year begin
ming July l and Chairman Harrison
OF the Senate Finance Committee
has advocated an average cut of
about 10 per cent In the total outlay
of more than 100000 900 projected
by President Roosevelt.
Senator Harrison and Chairman
Doughton of the House Ways and
! Means Committee, while stressing
economy as the most important con-
crete step by Government to aid
business, prepared to concentrate
their initial efforts on revising busi-
ness taxes.
Secretary Morgenthau reiterated
at a press conference yesterday that
the Treasury was preparing recon-
mendations on how, if at all, the
tax laws could be amended to the
benefit of business. However, he
declined to talk about economy
questions. He said merely that the
Treasury's attitude toward spending
was expressed by President Roose-
velt IN his annual message.
The President told Congress ex-
penditures should be continued un-
til the national income reached
$50 900 100000, when the budget
could be balanced without tax in
creases.
MOrgenthau Asks Suggestions.
Secretary Morgenthau also dis
closed that he has asked all Treas
ury officials to suggest means of
helping business. He dramatized
his interest In such suggestions by
placing behind his desk big
placard, lettered in black ink
against a pale blue background
with these words:
Does it contribute to recovery?"
He told reporters this put all his
callers on notice that unless their
conversation would help business
men, he was not interested in talk

NEW YORK, March 7.-Henry
l.. Stimson, Secretary of State in
the Hoover administration. urged
last night that this country adopt
q policy of farsighted affirmative
action" against the Fascist nations
and in cooperation with such
democracies as England and France.
In letter to the New York Times,
the former Secretary, while criticiz-
ing certain acts" OF the Roose-
welt administration domestic pro-
gram. expressed approval Of recent
examples of Its foreign policy.
The so-called Berlin Rome Toxic
axis, Mr.. Stimson wrote, presented
to the democracies a prospect "as
somber as it is without parallel in
our experience.
Urges Farsighted Readiness.
I'm my opinion" he added, "it
(the dangeD can be resisted only
by the farsighted readiness and
cooperation of the nations which
are opposed to such system"
To-day" he went on, "our Gov
ernment can with safety speak un-
welcome truths to a dictator or do
unWelcome acts, which it might be
extremely hazardous for a weaker
European neighbor Of the dictator
either to do or to utter"
Taking up the argument that TAX
ing sides in European difficulties
might involve the United States In
war, Mr.. Stimson asserted the coun-
try was likely to be dragged in" in
any case in the event of a general
outbreak.
May Be Deferred.
The aggressive Fascist nations"
he said, may be deferred from be-
ginning war by timely and vigor
GUS warning Even more i'm
portant, peaceful nations may be
encouraged not to make surrenders
which will ultimately endanger our
safety, II they now receive from us
In advance encouragement and
actual assistance which 1t lies within
our power to give them"
At another point he suggested
that the aggressive group" might
so pin down" the British and
French fleets that the Western Pa
cif1c might be exposed to the
powerful japanese fleet"
The defense against such joint
action in Europe and Asia by the
Fascist powers" he added, can only
be securely accomplished by the
common action of the naval power
of the three large democracies, in
cluding the United States"

MOrgenthau said.
Representative Anderson pressed
for an answer as to whether there
would be a breathing spell for
only ID months or longer.

question of recovery. l think. is

or Republican party. We 10 the

Senate said the fiscal situation left
few alternatives
If any Treasury proposal to in
crease the national debt limit can
be blocked at this session, they con-
tended. two choices would confront
the administration in l94O-curtail-
ing expenditures or boosting taxes.
Secretary Morgenthau declined te
say yesterday whether he would ask
Congress to raise the debt limit from
$45, 900 100000 to $4,000. 900 900, q
step which he suggested in January
might have to be taken Should
spending continue undiminished, the

Next Two Years

Mayor Eduardo Dios of Lima
Peru, got tangled up in Washing
ton trafflc-and looked forward to
the day when parking an automo-
bile will be as big a problem In his
home city as it Is here.
For his job as Mayor of Lima is
an honorary position, and he makes
his living selling American auto
mobiles, trucks and tires there,
Senor Dios explained today in his
suite at the MayfloWer Hotel.
His fretting experience with traf-
fic problems here came when he
visited the Federal Bureau of Pub
lie Roads and told his chauffeur to
return for him at specified time.
When he came out Is minutes late
he feared for time that his car
was lost" because the chauffeur
had not been able to park any
where near the bureau.
Parking isn't such a problem in
Lima now" he said. because we
have only about 10000 cars in all of
Peru. but this should be increased
to at least $50, 600 IN the next two
years, and then I suppose we will
be having our troubles"
Mayor Dios said an intensive
road-building program in Peru is
providing an ever-increasing mar
ket for American automobiles and
trucks there. Approximately 95 per
cent of the motor vehicles sold
there are American made, he said.
Business is increasing every
day." he continued. "and Peru
hasn't felt any business recession.
1t is the only country in South
America without exchange control.
and there are no quotas on imports.
as some other countries have"
Mayor Dios outlined the Peruvian
road-building program to Thomas
