BASQUE DEFENDERS STRUGGLE 10 OUST ANARCHIST LEADERS Chaos Reigns in Streets of San Sebastian as Rebels Renew Air Attack REJECT INSURGENT THREAT Fascists Beaten Back After Sudden Sortie on Loyalist Troops at Toledo (Copyright, 1936, by Associated Press) San Sebastian, Sept. 12—Gov- ernment forces abandoned this besieged city to Fascist forces Saturday. Spanish Fascist armies and zeal- ous militiamen of the united left front government inaugurated the ninth week of civil war Saturday with bloody fighting southwest of Madrid and chaos in the streets of besieged San Sebastian. Government forces, struggling to stem the advance on the capital in the Talavera de La Reina sector, de- clared their positions were “impreg- nable” following the strategic defeat of a Fascist advance Friday. Grim, black, Fascist bombers roar- ed overhead, blasting at the govern- ment lines. Refuges from the northern resort of San Sebastian told of street fight- ing between Basque Nationalists and Anarchists, the dissenting defenders, while Fascist big guns plopped shells in the city’s outskirts. Reject Insurgent Threat The defense high command coldly rejected an insurgent threat to “blow San Sebastian to pieces” unless it surrendered quickly, but the trouble within the city grew out of Basque determination to prevent its destruc- tion, no mater what happens. The Anarchists want to burn San Se- bastian down, rather than let it fall in Fascist hands. On the other hand the Fascists, blaming Anarchistts for the burning of Irun before it fell, have refused $0. promise. general amnesty. to..the San Sebastian defenders, even if they give up. In Toledo itself, on the southwest- ern front, hundreds of desperate Fascists, all but entombed in the shell-battered Alcazar atop the city, made a sudden sortie on squads of government workers who were trying to tunnel into the building. They were beaten back, however, after brisk fighting in the darkened streets. Railway Station Bombed A Fascist radio station said a rail- road station in Madrid had been bombed from the air and a govern- ment troop train damaged. Portugal followed Germany, Italy, and other powers in withdrawing its embassy from Madrid to the seaport of Alicante—after a government raid on the building in which a Spanish employe of the embassy was reported put to death.

(Associated Offic Press Photo) Workers May Call State-Wide Strike ‘SOCIAL ACCOUNTING CHANGES ADVOCATED WPA Officials Assert Nothing Can Be Done to Meet De- mands of Laborers AT POWER SESSIONG| ese come New System Would Guide Na- tion in Public Works, Con- servation Policies Washington, Sept. 12.—(#)—Elabor- ating on a suggestion made Friday by President Roosevelt, George Soule, writer on economic subjects, Saturday WPA workers will hold a mss meet- ing at 10 a. m. Tuesday in the city auditorium at which a movement will be launched to make. the agitation here a state-wide proposition. At the same time WPA officials made it clear that they could da nothing “at this time” to meet the demands of the strikers. These were the main developments in the strike situation here Saturday. Strikers estimated the number who had walked off jobs at “nearly 700” but the official WPA count was “about called for the development of a new 300, system of “social accounting” to guide the nation in its public works and con- servation policies. Such a method for testing the use of natural regources was proposed by the president to 3,000 members of the world power conference—among them cabinet members and distinguished technicians of many nations. At the close of his brief address they watched him press a button which started the turbines of Boulder Dam, hailed by many delegates as one of the world’s most brilliant construction feats. Describe Power Cataract A moment later loudspeakers set up in the huge auditorium of Constitu- tion Hall brought the audience a radio description of the double cataract pouring for the first time from the dam’s reservoir. The plunging water, released by the president’s touch, dropped 180 feet to the bed of the Colorado river in falls higher than Niagara. In the conference's closing session Saturday, power experts studied Soule's proposal for a broad scheme of “national bookkeeping.” “An immense amount of enlighten- ment might arise,” he said, if “the total resources of the people” were regularly accounted for. i Asks ‘Social Balance Sheet’ Touching on the same theme Friday, Roosevelt suggested the establish- ment of a “social balance sheet,” against which the nation might charge “the water it permits to go unused, rabies as the coal and oil that are The president predicted that “if the petroleum industry were charged with the gas it permits to go to waste—a quantity that is enormous in the Unit- ed States; then perhaps all citizens would perceive that public policy and private conduct in respect to natural tesources should be quite different from what they are now.” The president urged the visiting scientists and industrialists to help prepare for the day “when half of the population can provide the basic ma- chine-made products necessary for the whole of the population.” Pole Treaters Strike Agreement Reached So far as could be learned, four projects at Fort Lincoln had not been affected, since no picketers were known to have appeared there, but the men never work on Saturday any- how and whether or not these jobe were affected will not be known until later. Among rural projects closed were those at Long Lake, one of the big- gest in the county, and at a dam east, of Menoken, the strike committee told The Tribune Saturday. School Jobs Untouched The committee made a point of mentioning that no effort was made to disturb WPA workers employed on three or four school jobs since they have no desire to handicap the open- ing of schools. So far as could be Jearned, rumors that other places were having WPA strikes were unfounded. It was re- ported here Saturday morning that a strike had been voted at Dickinson but reports from there said the ru- mor was without foundation, al- though there had been some agita- tion. An apparent impasse was reached Friday when WPA Administrator Thomas H. Moodie told a committee of strikers that there would be no change “at this time” in either wages or working hours. He said he regret- ted his inability to make any adjust- ments in the situation but that he cannot change the rules under which ly, he said, and the committee seemed to maintain a “pleasant” frame of mind, Moodie Is Informed The committee, on the other hand, informed Moodie that it state-wide strike as rapidly as could bring it about.
