Officials Threaten
to Call Troops

SIKESTON, Mo, Jan. IA G.N.S)
State authorities today warned the
protest army" of between 1000
and 1000 sharecroppers encamped
in muddy bitches along 100 miles
of highway, near here, that it
would be moved out, if it became
a menace to public health.
While the weather-beaten army
hung on doggedly despite rain,
sleet, snow and near freezing tenn
peratures, State Health Director
Harry Parker and State Police
Superintendent B. M. Casteel made
inspection tours through the area.
May Use Troops
Adjt. Gen. Lewis M. Means,
head of the Missouri National
Guard, also planned to fly here
later today. indicating State au-
thorities were preparing for any
contingency, even the possible use
of troops.
State authorities, it was learned,
were anxious to end the unique
demonstrations of the poverty
stricken sharecroppers. who were
protesting against eviction Of
some Of their members from ten
ant farms homes.
Casteel stated:
II don't know where we
would put them, but if they
threaten public health they
must be moved somewhere"
Quagn1ires of Mud
The sharecroppers were split UP
in about 13 camps along the
main highways, near here. Their
only shelter comprised crude
tents made from old blankets or
pieces of canvas. The rain and
snow turned the encampments
into quagmires Of mud.
Surplus foodstuff were being
given the choppers by the Federal
Government. Firewood was be-
coming increasingly scarce, how
ever. and regular patrols were
sent out from some camps to
search for it.
Among the camps population
were nearly so babies, some only
few months old, and it was
the children who suffered most
from the elements.
The sharecroppers were refus-
ing any offers to return to tenant
farms. A few families broke
camp and departed because Of
the snow ard rain but others took
tneir places.

LoyalistS to Yield

HENDAYE, Franco-Spanish
Frontier, Jan. IA G.N.S0. "A
triple-pronged pincer of deadly
steel appeared today TO be clos
ing relentlessly on Tarragona as
three columns of Gen. Francisco
Frances advancing insurgent
armies smashed their way toward
conquest of the important Med
Iiterranean port, last remaining
city blocking the way of Barcelona.
General Franco himself was per-
sonally directing operations at the
front in what Burgos communicates
described as the greatest offensive
of the entire Spanish civil war.
Key ToWn Falls
Meantime, with the insurgent
vanguard less than IS miles from
the gates of Barcelona, capital
city of government Spain, the
authorities exhorted not only men
but children and women to desper'
ate resistance, calling upon the
Galatians to accept heroes deaths
rather tnan yield.
Indications that the government
considers Tarragona doomed were
reported in insurgent communi-
ques as the central column of the
triple insurgent advance was said
to have captured Walls, key town
on the railway between Tarragona
and Lerida.
General Frances armies are now
within artillery range of Tara
gona.
5000 Men Trapped
General Juan Yague's Moroc-
cans were reported pushing to-
ward Vendrell with the govern
ment forces said to be in full re-
treat.
This northward pressure on
Tarragona was said to have been
made possible by the fall of Tor
tosa, which gave the insurgents
complete command of both sides
Iof the Ebro River from its source
to its mouth.
General Vague was asserted to
have taken 1000 square kilometers
of government territory on the
south bank of the Ebro, and to
have isolated 5000 government
soldiers.
A communique from Salamanca
claimed that the advance was
more than 80 kilometers deep.
Large numbers of government
dead were said to have been left
on the battlefield, more than
20, 900, 900 rounds of ammunition
seized, and 1,500 government SOL
diers taken prisoner.
