Ell AsEDIO DE MADRID
Por EDUARDO ZAMACoIS

Escenas Y conversaciones ana

Madrid. AL grito de "iNo pasa-

Diariamente, no bien alegraban ell

de la aurora, convoyes innGmeros
de camiones, de taxis y de autos
de lujo, corrian cargados de COM
batientes rumbo a las distintas
zonas donde a esa bora empezaba
a tabletear la artilleria sediciosa.
A la eta probable que les daba
la muerte, los legionarios de la
Libertad acudian por millares: los
mas portaban fusiles, otros lleva-
ban escopetas de caza o pistolas.
Habia valientes que solo disponian
de un cuchillo o de un garrote.
Con ellos, en- revoltijo ~fraternal
Y vestidas de "milicianas" iban
muchas mujeres. Nimbados por
la felicidad rubia de la mahana
pasaban Orlando, cantando; cada

bosante de flores de Illusion; Y los

By the Associated Press.

BALTIMORE, Aug l1-Final ar
guments were being heard in Federal
Court today in the case of two Po-
comoke City married men who Pc
titioned for release from the armed
services on grounds they were in
Quoted when single men of their
draft board were still available.
At the conclusion of yesterdays
testimony IN the habeas corpus pro-
ceedings Judge w. Calvin Chestnut
said he was prepared to find that
the peitioners-Stanley Gilmer Bay
ly, 81. and Roland Frank Bevans,
36-were improperly inducted.
Paul M Rhodes, Worcester
County Draft Board member, testi-
fed earlier that the board did not
agree with the regulation calling for
delay in the induction of married
men until available single men were
called.
Judge Chestnut criticized the con-
tentiOn of Government attorneys
that married men given stays of in
ductlon should be placed on the top
OF the list when their deferments
expired and called for service before
eligible single registrants.
The three members of the Worces-
ter County Draft Board had said
earlier they had placed the two
men on the top of the list for the
July quota of % men because the
60-day deferments given the pc
titioners had expired.
The judge said he thought it
would help the Government and
Selective service to select men on
the basis of their status at the time
of induction rather than to apply
an arbitrary rule placing the men
on the top of the list when their
defermentS expired.
The board should not consider
water that has gone under the dam,
but what is the crest of the water
in the reservoir at the time you
undertake to open the flood gates" +"
