Grocer Robbed Of $40
By Three CoIored Men

A grocer at 40l G street NV. re-
ported early today that he was
robbed of more than $l1O by three
colored men, one of whom threat
ened him with revolver.
The victim, Leon Loesberg, A,
told police the men entered a few
minutes before he was to close for
the night. After forcing him into
a corner, the men took $50 from a
cash drawer, his wallet containing
$50 and quantity of cigarettes, Mr..
Loesberg said.
Claude w. Powell, a taxicab driver,
of 1103 Ninth street NV, said he
was robbed of 50 and his cab by
young white man he picked up at
Ninth and F streets NV. Police
were told the robbery occurred at
Fourth and C streets NE. after the
passenger struck "a hard object" in
the drivers back.
The cab was found abandoned a
few blocks from the scene of the
holdup.
Meanwhile, Detective Sergt. Paul
Ambrose was in Mount Airy, N. c.,
to return here with holdup sus-
pect. believed connected with the
shotgun bandit" gang. Two men,
bers of the gang already have been
captured and face trial in more

Insurgent advices said that Mont

Their fall was the signal for the
start of the march into the heart of
Barcelona.
The Plaza de Catalunya, central
square OF Barcelona, and it's most
important buildings, such as the
telephone building, had long been
barricaded behind sandbags, but
most of the government defenders
had been evacuated to the north.
Insurgent reports said the occu-
patton should be complete by night

Gen. Frances high command had
mapped out plan for the methodi-

Meanwhile, ministries Of the re-
publican government had fed to

French border, where they were
spread through several towns.
The governments supporters,
however, insisted the war would con-

Plans for Boats Made.
Early Wednesday preparations
were completed to put of small
boats to bring aboard the refugees.
The Badger had battled the storm
and pulled in near the coast. The
British and French governments
also had warships there. all massed
together.
About 8 am, Just when every
thing appeared to be going very
smoothly, five fast, modern-type
bombinb planes flew overhead at
about 5000 feet. They were pretty
sight IN the bright sunlight until,
suddenly, we saw bombs splash near
the French destroyers and explode
with thunderous roars.
The crew on the Omaha sprang
into action.
An officer called, Man the bat

second, the Omahas anti-aircraft
guns were loaded and sighted on
the bombers. The Omaha didn't
fire, but she was ready if more di-

saw anti-aircraft shells burst
over the coast near the French de-
stroyers. At first 1t appeared that
the bursts came from land batteries,
but 1t developed later that one of
the destroyers had opened fire.
Almost Immediately another squad
ron of bombers appeared. They
are going to drop more eggs" some
one shouted. And they did. But
this time the bombs fell on the land
near the highway which skirts the
coast and into the village of Arenas
De Lmar.
Great alarm was felt for the safety
| of the rescue party and the ref
| ugees. A motor launch and whale
! boat had gone shoreWards to pick
| them up and they were right in the
zone where the bombs were drop
ping. 1t all turned out very fortu-
nately, however, as far as the Amer
leans were concerned. Some bombs
fell in the breakwaters SO close to
the whaleboat loaded with Amer
lean refugees they could hear them
whistle as they fell. Some of the
men had to fall fat on the beach
to keep from being hit.
Aim Considered Bad.
Il thought they were trying to put
on a show for us when I saw those
bombs Drop" an officer told me
Then later I figured that it was
just bad craftsmanship.
1t was a consensus among the
American officers, however, that the
bombers were trying to hit the
coastal highway and that the first
salvo fell into the sea because they
had miscalculated the force of the
wind which was blowing seawards
toward the American ships This
seems to have been borne out by
the fact that the second salvo fell
on the land near the highway. One
bomb made q direct hit on a truck

shore to complete the rescue. 1t

others, including the Embassy staff
came aboard the Omaha.
The voyage last night from Call
detas was without incident. When
we left the Spanish coast we could
hear the bombers pounding the
coastal highway near Barcelona and
we could hear explosions farther
back of the mountain range which
told how the Franco forces were
closing in on Barcelona. The noise

France Reinforces
Frontier Against
Flood Of Refugees
Vast Migration Is Due
To Begin, Jules Henry
Warns Officials
By the Associated Press.


PERPIGNAN, France, Jan. 90
French officials today ordered every
available mobile guard in the Py-
renees department to reinforce posts
in "the emergency zone along
Frances frontier in expectation of
flood of refugees from Spain.
Jules Henry, French Ambassador
to government Spain, warned au-
thorities that vast migration, al
ready begun by water, soon would
begin by land
Border officers said DR.. Juan
Negrin, Spanish government pre-
mier, had arrived at La Junquera,
Spain, opposite the French frontier
apparently to seek locations for
ministries that had fled Barcelona.
Some which have moved into
Northern Corona Province have
opened Offices in the towns of Ger
ona and Figueras. Others were eX-
pected to 60 to La Junquera.
Henry Back in Catalonia.
M. Henry, who conferred for five
hours with border authorities after
returning from Spain last night, re-
turned to Catalonia with two at
taches this morning.
At LIE Purthus, on the frontier,
there was a constant stream of dip
lomatic and consular officials of
several nations crossing and re-
crossing between France and Spain.
The exodus by sea was well under
way, with small groups of refugees
and Spanish government army de-
serters arriving during the night in
groups of 80 and 40 aboard small
fishing boats. Several hundred had
arrived by dawn.
Most of them were half-starved
women and children. They came
around the frontier at Cerbere and
beached in tiny sardine fishing ports
on the French Mediterranean coast.
About 10 small armed speedboats
and traWlers reached French coastal
points with deserters. One vessel
had mounted a small anti-aircraft
gun. Others carried machine guns.
Most Return to Rebel Spain.
French motor launches took police
out to put the boats under guard and
march the deserters to police sta
tions. Most of them chose to return
to insurgent Spain by way of Hen
daye.
Apart from a score of deserters
who crossed dangerous mountain
trails last night, however, the only
refugees to arrive early today by
land were 200 Spanish children from
Barcelona in care of several Spanish
nurses.
At Bourg- Madame and Cerbere.
French anti-aircraft batteries and
army searchlights crews stood at
their posts day and night.
Throughout the night searchlight
beams stabbed internationally along
the border warning insurgent flyers
to stay on their side. Insurgent
hombers skirted the frontier several
times during the morning.

All Americans Now Out
Except Those Staying
Because Of Duties
BY the Associated Press.

MARSEILLE, France, Jan. 26.-
The cruiser Omaha, flagship Of the
United States Mediterranean squad
ron, reached Marseille today bring
Ing the United States Embassy staff
from the Barcelona battle zone.
The only refugees aboard the 16-
year-old warship besides the six
Embassy officials were two executives
OF the Spanish Telephone Co., Fred
Caldwell, president, and George
Dennis, treasurer.
The United States destroyer
Badger arrived last night with 2
refugees from Spain considered en-
titled to American protection.
All United States citizens now
have been evacuated from the Cata-
lonian danger zone except those
who elected to stay behind because
of duties.
Besides the telephone company
officials the Americans brought to
France by the Omaha were Walter
c. Thurston, American Charge
d'Affaires; Capt. Francis Cogswell,
Naval Attache; Col. Henry B.
Cheadle, Military Attache; P. " Pal
cry, Embassy secretary; Charles Gill
bert, Vice Consul, and William
Krieger, clerk.
Mr.. Thurston said he expected to
take the staff to Perpignan, on the
French-Spanish border, where tenn
porary headquarters would be estab-
lished.
Both the Omaha and the Badger
took on the refugees at the little
village Of Caldetas, 20 miles north
east Of Barcelona. where they got
their final taste of insurgent aerial
bombardments yesterday as they
prepared to leave Spain.
The Omaha sailed at 8:35 last
night with all portfolios darkened

Full Investigation
0fF.C.C. Is Seen BY
Committee Head
Lea Believes Proposal
To Reduce Commission
Will Bring Probe

Introduction Of legislation propos-
ing to reduce the membership of the
Federal Communications Commits
sion from seven to three will bring
about a thorough investigation OF
the F., c. c., in the opinion of Chair
man Lea of the House Interstate
Commerce Committee.
The Lea committee will consider
the legislation after it is introduced,
but the chairman indicated today
this would be delayed because of
various other important matters now
before the committee.
Representative Lea said he had
talked with Chairman Frank R.
McNinch of the F. C. C. concerning
the proposed legislation, and that
the commission chairman was press
ing the move for reduced commits
sion.
Representative Lea added that
Mr.. McNinch wants this legislation
pressed through first, leaving for the
future the matter of amending the
present organic act or rewriting a
new one to govern the commissions
activities. Mr.. McNinch, he said,
was so desirous of getting the size
OF the commission reduced that he
did not want to have this proposed
change in the act included in the
general rewriting OF the statute at
this time because of the delay which
might be entailed.
Sees Full Investigation.
Mr.. Lea said he believed appear
ance Of this legislation would result
in full investigation because men,
bers of Congress will want to know
all OF the reasons back of such q
plan.
Celebrating on his statement that
1t would take some time to get this
legislation before the House, he said
his committee had a number of
important matters scheduled for
hearings. He was quite sure, he
said, it would be necessary to hold
hearings.
Received Many Complaints.
Mr.. Lea said he had not received
any complaints concerning the COM
mission. but was cognizant of re-
ports that 1t was not functioning
in the desired manner. Due to these
reports, he said, the committee would
want to know just why it is neces-
sary to reduce the size of the COM
mission and how a board of three
members would be able to carry out
the requirements of the statute bet
ter than the present board of seven
members.
Chairman Wheeler of the Senate
Interstate Commerce Committee ex-
poets to receive next week from Mr..
McNinch the tentative draft Of the
legislation reducing the size of the
board Senator Wheeler has indi-
Gated he is in accord with the gen.
eral terms of such proposal.
