The resignations were in protest against the action of the Spanish directorate in tdking over adminis- tration of publication and collection of certain annual taxes, in violation of ancient tradition and the auton- omy of Navarre. The local officials informed the government they could not now be held responsible for possible disor- ders. * * BORDEAUX, France, Sept. 13 (UP).—Generals Lopez Ochoa and Aguilura, former minister of war, accused of complicity in the plot to overthrow the De Rivera dictator- ship, have been arrested at Valia- dolid, Spain, advices received here today said. The editors of the newspaper Democracia and others also were arrested. * * Communists Also Jailed. MADRID, Sept. 13.—The arrests made here during the last few days, and which amount to 2,000, were ex- plained by the minister of the in- terior as a precautionary move in- tended to “eliminate the possibility of any unsympathetic or unpleasant demonstrations” during the celebra- tion that begins today of the fifth anniversary of the regime of Pre- mier Primo de Rivera, the dictator. The police included in their round- up many Communists in Barcelona and Madrid, and although the gov- ernment denied that the military were involved in the plot to over- throw the dictatorship, two gener- als and several soldiers were ar- rested. $ Swalpie LA LINEA, Spain, Sept. 13 (UP). —Sixty Free Masons and the corre- spondent of the newspaper El Sol were arrested today. Autnorities gave no reason for the arresté. La Linea is in the province of Cadiz, near Gibraltar.

A few examples: Shortly before the voting the Communist Party printed its election program, The edition of 50,000 copies was confis- cated by the police. The members of the election committee who car- ried the program with them were arrested. On the intervention of the election com ion it appeared t the copie: ere confiscated un- der the law forbidding the transpor- tation of Communist literature. The Communist Party, however, had placed a legal list on the ballot. In Niacussa the workers Nopas and Patritsoupulos were arrested because they had posted opposition placards. They are still in jail. In Volos on the charge of election pro+ paganda the worker Andreas Ta- balis was exiled for one year to the island of Jos and Nikolaus Tsakifis to Folegandros. f In Saloniki numerous Communist leaflets and placards were confis+ cated. The legal election campaign meeting that was called for Augu&t 5 was forbidden the police. tT In this way it was not difficult to gain a large majority in the ele¢- tions. tween the republican and democrati¢ parties.
