With a roll call vote set for 3
o'clock, administration leaders were
confident this afternoon that the
Senate would restore the w. P. A..
relief fund to President Roosevelt's
s875 100000 estimate Members Of
the economy bloc. however, would
not concede defeat.
Majority Leader Barkley has pre-
dicted margin of five or six votes
for the Presidents figure. Support
ers of the Appropriations Commit
tee recommendation of $725 900, 900,
led by Senator Adams, Democrat, Of
Colorado, have intimated they were
hopeful of holding the bill at that
amount by one to three votes.
The vote came on a motion by
Senator McKellar, Democrat, Of
Tennessee to increase the commit
tee figure to $875 100000.
Beginning the last round of de-
bate. Senator Thomas, Democrat. of
Oklahoma announced his support of
the full amount in the pending re-
lief measure, but urged more per-
manent solution of the economic
problems Of the past nine years by
raising the commodity price level.
He argued, as he has for a number
Of years, this could be done by regu-
lating the value of the dollar.
Higher Prices Favored.
For almost 10 years we have tried
to work out of the depression under
low-price level and we have
failed" said Senator Thomas. "To-
day am more convinced than ever
that higher prices are not only ad-
visable but absolutely mandatory be-
fore we see substantially better
times. The present dollar Is a COM
modify dollar. but its value is not
as yet properly adjusted and regu-
lated"
He asserted that executive
branches of the Government already
have authority to carry out his plan
by taking one or all of seven differ
ent steps. namely: Desterilize sur
plus gold; force into circulation
available silver certificates; lower
discount rates; lower reserve re-
qulrements: open market opera
tions; further devalue the gold dol
lar; issuance and use of additional
Federal Reserve and Treasury notes.
with the new dollar in circula-
ticn the price level will be raised"
Senator Thomas added, wages and
income will be increased, profits will
be possible, the national income will
be increased. the budget will be bal
anced and prosperity will return
again to the people of the United
States"
Earlier, Senator Walsh, Democrat.

been scraped clean.
So thick were the crowds that
troops attempting to march north

against what is left of government
held Catalonia were held up for
hours in some instances.
Streets were Uttered with debris

The refuse hampered the move

places.
Troops Await Orders.
In the Plaza de Catalunya, tired

awaiting orders. Pack mules stood
by patiently. Other soldiers slept
IN the subways and under park
awnings.
Everywhere there were red and
gold banners flying from windows
and balconies.
Food queues were orderly, but the
civilians were impatient. Old women
tottered with exhaustion as they
awaited their turn to hold out a
sack or plate for supplies.
Most of the people in the lines
were a ragged lot. Few even had
coats, despite the icy wind. Most
OF them were bareheaded and some
were without shoes.
These lines were the only places
where the civilians could get any,
thing to eat. The insurgents said
Generalissimo Franco had been
requisitioning supplies from every
available source to meet Barcelona 3
needs.
Travellers coming into the city
were required to bring their own
food.
Port Sector Damaged.
A tour of Barcelona's port sector
showed an extensive area had been
ravaged by air bombings. Vessels
and warehouses were included in
the wreckage.

BARCELONA, Jan. 27.-Exultant
troops and hundreds of thousands
OF BarcelonanS waded through
streets Uttered with government
paper money today in a climax to
wild, two-day celebration of the in
surgent occupation of Spain's great
est city.
From curb to curb on broad boule-
wards there were great heaps of torn
peseta notes issued by the departed
government-worth nothing in in
surgent Spain.
In the litter also were scraps of
the mo parsaran" "They shall not
pass'D posters which Premier Juan
Negrin's regime had plastered
throughout the city.
Crowds swept pell nell over the
streets and boulevards chanting
Franco! F'ranco!" for the insurgent
generalissimo.
They surged through the great
Plaza de Catalunya, where blue
helmeted military bandsmen played
the insurgent national anthem over
and over while thousands raised
right arms in stiff salute.
Tanks Rumble Through Streets.
Tanks and anti-tank guns ground
through the streets. Loud-speakers
added harsh voices to the din,
shouting out Gen. Frances promise
of work and bread" Bare-legged
women lodged through the throngs
with sacks of flour balanced expertly
on their dark heads.
The celebrations have been con-
tinuous since yesterday noon, when
Gen. Frances warriors occupied the
city. Every store has been closed
tight, awaiting the reopening order
from the offices Of the new BARGE
Iona City Council and the military
governor.
Lines seven blocks long Of men,
women and children wound along
the Paseo Gracia and other streets

SANTIAGO, Chile, Jan. 81
United States Ambassador Norman
Armour called at the foreign office
today to ask how the United States
could help relieve suffering in the
earthquake stricken region of South
Central Chile.
He was informed medical supplies
and condensed milk were urgent
needs Of the region, where it was
feared the death toll from a Tues
day night earthquake would reach
$4,000.
1.-TWO United States Army
planes were ordered to leave the
Panama Canal Zone this after
noon with serum for earthquake
victims)
Evacuation of the quake zone was
begun. Planes brought children
needing urgent surgical attention to
Santiago. Trains, automobiles and
trucks were pressed into service to
bring others northward from Chillan
and the surrounding heavily dam
aged territory.
From Conception, Talcahuano
and other coastal cities injured sur
vivors were rushed by boat to points
where they could receive better
medical attention.
The minister of the interior or
dered all motor vehicles and public
offices to remain under military con-
troll until further notice.
Disease Threat Fought.
The Chilean government concen-
trated upon the fight to fend off
disease in the stricken earthquake
area today. Militia directed the
work.
The death estimates at their high
est still stood at 10000, but it was
likely an accurate count could never
be made in the shambles of Chillan,
Conception, and more than a score
of smaller towns and villages in the
region $50 miles south of the cap
ital.
The Chillan death estimate was
1000 to 10000 and that for Con-
cepcion about 1000. Elsewhere the
death toll was smaller.
The British cruiser Exeter. which
reached Talcahuano with food sup
plies for that fort city and nearby
Conception, started back to VAL
paraiso with 500 refugees.
Doctors, Nurses Rushed.
Special trains, planes and trucks
carried doctors and nurses into the
affected areas. The steamer Teno
arrived at Talcahuano last night
with 100 doctors and nurses and q
large quantity Of food and medical
supplies.
Conception expected . shortage

LIE PERTHUS, France cat the
Spanish Frontier), Jan. 27.-Spanish
government officials warned France
today that Spanish guards would
be unable to hold back tens of thou
sands of refugees moving toward the
French border If negotiations for a
neutral zone were delayed much
longer.
They said towns and villages of
Northern Catalonia were swollen to
5, 10 and 20 times their normal
populations by the masses of suf-
fering refugees.

Neutral Zone Sought.
1t was reported Wednesday that
the French and Spanish govern

trail zone on the Spanish side of their
Pyrenees frontier as q haven for
$50 900 refugees but that no formal
assurances of respect for such zone
hsd been received from Insurgent
GeneralisSimo Francisco Franco.
M. Henry previously had informed
Paris, official sources said, that If
the zone could not be established
with Gen. Frances agreement or
acquiescence the French would have
to take in the refugees.
Persons reaching the French bor-
der today reported an intensive in

and now close to the front line, was
