Alien Control Bills
Flood Congress-;
One Passed by House
Senate Committees Weio|
Several; One Would
Curb Nozi Bunds
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
A flood of alien control bills is
occupying the attention Of congress
sional committees.
Sponsors of the measures, some of
which are designed to curb the
activities of aliens organizations in
this country, already have chalked
up one victory.
When the House passed a bill hast
week providing for deportation of
aliens who advocate changes in the
form of the American Govern
ment, there was no debate and the
vote was unanimous.
Although the Senate has not yet
considered the measure, its commit
tees have been working on several
others dealing with the alien ques-
ton.
Chairman Sheppard, Democrat,
Of Texas appointed Senators Nye,
Republican, Of North Dakota; Hatch,
Democrat. of New Hampshire. and
Clark, Democrat, of Missouri as a
subcommittee to consider two such
measures. The bills, introduced by
Senator Nye and Hatch, would pre-
vent reign-inspired organizations
from wearing military uniforms or
parading. Senator Nye said his bill
was aimed at Nazi Bunds and sim
liar organizations. He said he
thought 1t would not infringe upon
the constitutional right of free
speech or free assembly.

HENDAYE, France, March 81
Nationalist Generalissimo Franco
was reported today to have swung
his central army into an offensive
designed to smash q way into Ma
drid after peace negotiations failed
to bring an agreement with the Re-
publican government.
Nationalist forces were said to
have advanced to new positions on
the Madrid front. the Toledo front
and in the Cordoba region in South
Central Spain against only weak
resistance.
Republicans Immediately an
nounced by radio that they would
surrender their entire airforce as
evidence of good faith. Earlier re-
ports to the Nationalist command
at 1run said Gen. Frances troops
might enter Madrid today.
Attack Made in South.
A breakdown in negotiations for
surrender Of Madrid had sent the
Nationalists in the South, under
Gen. Gonzalo Queipo de Llano, to-
ward the rich Almaden mercury
mines.
Border advices told of a National
ist offensive in the Toledo sector,
which is about so miles south of
Madrid. In an attack beginning at
dawn Nationalists were said to have
pierced Republican lines at several
points.
simultaneously 1t was announced
over the union radio station at
Madrid that the Republican Defense
Council had completed preparations
for the surrender OF the entire re-
publican airforce to Generalissimo
Franco.
Reports from Burgos said the Ma
tionalist forces were encountering
little resistance and added that
many prisoners had been taken.
In the Almaden area, 14O miles
southeast of Madrid, the whole Re-
publican army appeared to have
surrendered.
Subsequent border reports said the
Madrid National Defense Council
decided to surrender the capital
despite the collapse of peace ne
gotiations. Nationalist sources said
Madrid defenses were almost de-
serted.
In Madrid, a Republican spokes-
man said snowstorms raging through
central Spain made impossible the
delivery of Madrid's airplanes yes
terday to Burgos.
Republican representatives who
flew to Burgos yesterday despite the
storm were sent back after q brief
conference with Nationalist spokes-
men.
In Madrid, National Defense
Council spokesmen announced on
the radio after a review of the peace
| negotiations that the fault lay with
the Nationalists.
Before the imminence OF a ma
tional offensive" said Juan del Rio,
secretary of the Madrid National
Defense Council headed by Gen. Jose
Miaja, "the National Defense Coun-
Gil announces that it Is taxing steps
for the defense Of the capital"
Despite this announcement, how
ever, the opinion persisted on the
frontier that the surrender of Mad
rid might still be craried out early
this week.
| Plans for the surrender of Madrid
had been agreed upon when the
project collapsed yesterday.
According to Del Rio, the Ma
tionalist government, in response to
an eight-point surrender plan Of
fered by the Republicans yesterday,
submitted its own eight-point plan,
which was accepted by the Madrid
Defense Council

minitration in the first to halt
| series of SetbackS to his liberal
program of legislation and send
the health proposal to the senate.
But the Al to 33 vote against
amending the bill for a referen-
DUN by the people indicated its
probable fate on the floor today.
AS proposed by the adminiStra-
ton, those affected by the bill
would be included now under the
unemployment benefits act, with
certain exceptions. Among exemp-
ton amendments approved late yes
terday were Christian Scientists and
similar faiths, agricultural labor,
public employees, domestic workers
and others.
At the same time the measure
was enlarged to include those earn
ing more than $4,000 and provide
for registration OF optometristS IN
case care of the eyes subsequently
should be included.
Ben RoSenthal, Olson's floor
leader and author of the bill, said
the use OF the unemployment BEN
efitS base would permit collection
of both taxes simultaneously to cut
down expense. Workers, employees
and the state would contribute to
fund which would recompense
physicians for treating eligible per-
sons.
One showdown will follow an
other because the Yorty Little
Wagner Act" is set as a special
order of business tomorrow in the
assembly. Sam Yorty, D., Los An
geles, said California workers should
be protected by similar legislation
TO the federal Wagner act. In view
of the heavy vote against the Yor-
ty wages and hours act, probably
defeat was forecast for his other
measure tomorrow.
