A rebel army of 2,000, with a tank, armored cars and big guns, struggled a mile closer to Irun in desperate fighting, with three miles to go. Re- treating government militiamen, blow- ing up roads, sent their wounded back to Irun. Government planes impeded the onslaught. The “Alfonso: letter,” seized in a Madrid house, was quoted as inform- ing the rebels: “Victory is ours!” and “You can count on me for any‘ as- sistance you may need.” No Secret of Feeling It is no secret Alfonso favors the insurgents and despises the Socialist- Communist-Anarchist bloc - which seized power in Spain last February. He has, however, disavowed sugges- tions the rebellion was a monarchial movement. Alfonso quit Spain, on request, five years ago. A white flag, fluttering from the long-besieged rebel gerrison in To- ledo’s famed Alcazar, caused the wild- est of excitement among Loyalists. However, after Loyalist truce-mak- ers had been greeted by shots, the government concluded the 1,700 rebels were fighting among themselves the Alcazar, “and ‘that ority one tion, weary of the long siege, had hoisted the flag.

Olson went to his last rest- ing place Wednesday, praised in death as a man who “reached power with- out baseness and wielded it without fear.” Thousands inside and outside the city auditorium heard Gov. Phil La- Follette of Wisconsin pay this tribute to the first Farmer-Labor governor of Minnesota in a funeral oration de- livered before the flag-draped coffin. “The exaggeration of friend and bitterness of foe alike disappear in the silence of death,” declared LaFol- lette after reviewing Olson’s accom- plishments. “He was no hypocrite. He was en- dowed with the vitality and courage of his Viking ancestors. He stood by his friends with loyalty which no question of expediency or personal consideration could swerve. He never posed as anything he was not. He had a rugged, honest quality like that of Cromwell who said, ‘Paint me as I am, warts and all.’ Deep in Convictions “The outstanding qualities of this vivid personality were the depth of his economic and political convictions and his boundless courage. Through- out his public career he never asked for quarter. He weathered adversity with his head held high, and not an enemy in Minnesota ever saw the back of Floyd Olson. “He would want us to look forward to the future. He would be the first to tell us that he devoted his life to a cause that was greater than he, He stand shoulder to shoulder to oar which he gave his life.” From the great iron mines border- ing the northland forest regions through the industrialized Twin Cities to the verdant south-state corn belt,’ official business was under orders to cease as national and dignitaries joined all classes st the became America’s labor governor, Republicans, politically at odds with the Olson regime, assembled beside ardent followers of the man they ex- pected to become a national leader with the White House his goal, President Sends Wreath ‘The president of the United States added a huge wreath of roses to the pretentious floral offerings.

Public opinion would be expected to take more vig- orous and definite form behind the conferees than it has attained on the present separate nationalistic basis. While carefully refraining from as- suming for the United States any ob- Ugation or responsibility for militant action for peace in the eastern hemi- sphere, and making no request of any foreign states to assume these, the president would point to conditions in the western hemisphere and urge the Pan-American agreements as a model, Would Discuss Policy “In such a conference the adminis- tration policy, pursued by Secretary of State Hull, for international trade agreements, the leveling of tariff bar- ners and the elimination of quotas (Continued on Page Two) LANDON DISCUSSES - ELECTION STRATEGY Address Tonight on Federal Finances to Climax East- ern Campaign represented on this occasion by Gen- eral David L.
