RIO DE JANEIRO, October 18.— Claiming heavy victories over the insur- gent forces, at Itarare and in the southern Minas Geraes region, the Federal government today reported that at least half a dozen new towns had been taken from the insurgents aud that further federal reserves were being sent to the front. Rio de Janeiro itself appears almost unaware that anything unusual is going on a few hundred miles away, where the federal and insurgent forces are fighting. The city’s business, with the exception of banking, is going cn as usual. Motion picture houses are crowded, but there has been some fall- ing off of retail trade. More Money Decreed.

DOZEN NO-CONFIDENCE MOTIONS BEFORE HOUSE' Program for Rehabilitation of Trade Is Further Delayed by Battle of Words. By the Associated Press. BERLIN, October 18.—Airing of factional enmities in the Reichstag to- day delayed further the government’s program of, legislation for rehabilita- tion of German business and brought charges to the door of the Nationalists and Hitlerites of having caused Ger- many’s post-war woes, leading up to her present stringency. ‘The almost sleepy progress of today's parliamentary session was suddenly interrupted by a Socialist speaker, Wil- helm Hoegner, who, in a bitter tirade against the Right Wing members, charged that the Nationalists, with their wild war-time talk about an- nexation and tributes, and the Fascists, with their threats and growing op- position to government plans, had caused foreign nations to look upon Germany with distrust. Jocialists Decide to Fight. The speech was brought forth by goading of the Right parties, which the Socialists, with their 143 seats, decided to openly resist. An arraignment, which started as a fiery oration, how- ever, soon deteriorated into a two-man debate. With 12 non-confidence motions before the House directed at cabinet officers, the government forces believed they had a safe margin of from 30 to 40 votes in the Reichstag with which to resist attempts to block their measures of procedure. The Nationalists and Fascists had formed a coalition to opg::e the $125,- 000,000 foreign loan, which yesterday passed its first and second readings, and was expected today to continue onward to passage. Hoegner, in his speech, asked the Reichstag members to bear in mind that it was the who, during the war, did most to discou sub- ir | versive talk, and that it was the Social- can their organizations. Will Discuss Conditions Further. “The Cabinet Committee,” the Presi- dent continued in explanation, “will further discuss these conditions with which we have had on so gen- erous a scale d the past year, We shall also review Federal situation of public works and the situation in construction among the national in- dustries together with other methods by which we can continue to be of assist- ance. With the survey of the methods in progress for the past 10 months, we should have valuable suggestive mate- rial and information for the Winter. “As a Nation, we must prevent hun- ger and cold to those of our people who are in honest difficulties,” the President sald in conclusion. Lamont May Be Head. ‘This committee on unemployment is only preliminary to a larger committee which the President will name later on.

Y., October 18.— The first blizzard of the season swept in off Lake Erie this morning, buried Dunkirk and surrounding country under 10 inches of snow. At mid- day it was still blowing fiercely, and traffic was at a standstill. Lowest temperatures for the season were forecast by the Weather Bureau today for tonight, when the mercury is to drop to 39 degrees. Light frost in Washington suburban areas also was forecast. Preceded by an advance guard of wind, which at one time reached a ve- locity of 52 miles an hour, the cool weather arrived here from the West last night on schedule time and will remain at least over the week end, according uh‘; dzlhe forecaster at the Weather Bureau 5. : The first measurable rainfall in the District since September 16, also fell.

Hall Thrown Into Confusion. Instantly the Plenary Hall was scene of confusion. Hoegner had been delegated by his group to respond to the weary, continual harping of the op} on Socialist weakness in re- spect to the Versailles treaty. His words were greeted with furious shouts of “Get out!” and “French agent.” One Fascist with more lung than the 's flom work This turmoil reached its limit when, in res) to t calls by the Strasser, yesterday's speech- maker, the rumpus leveled to a dialogue between Strasser and Hoegner. ‘The Socialist speaker sought to place upon the Fascists ty for the economic and political woes of Germany in recent years. He indicated the fact that Germany had been subjected to unfavorable conditions in the Versailles treaty and that these conditions had not since been ameliorated was due to the suspicion abroad of warlike tenden- cies in the Fascist policies. ' His speech also was aimed at Hitler's activities, which had caued distrustful treatment in European financial quarters. Situation Grows Worse. In the moments that followed it was estion who had the floor, with both delegates talking at once at the top of their voices. This kept the opposing sides in a state of agitation, which final- ly grew worse when charges of accept- ing money from France were hurled from the Fascist benches of the So- clalist, Breitscheidt, who has been a frequent delegate to Geneva. Former Interior Minister Severing walked up to the Speaker's desk and formally demanded that President Loebe call the Fascist to order. ‘There was a breathless moment as Severing went boldly through the Fas- cist section toward the cloak room. The Left held itself tense, and there was the atmosphere of an impending riot. The Left obviously was waiting for Severing to be struck, but this did not happen. As the former minister made his exit yells filled the Chamber. CLASH WITH FASCISTS. Communists Invade Karisruhe Meeting. Six Persons Injured.

Stebbins also said he had made a cash contribution of $350 to aid the campaign against the senior Nebraska Senator.

Norris and Stebbins. “If Stebbins gave that money to the Broken Bow Norris,” said, Senator Dale, “some one was mistaken.in their testi- mony to our commitéee when we were in Nebraska. However, we will find out all the facts for ourselves.” Senator Dale, who participated in the Nebraska inquiry, said he expected the committee to return to that State immediately after the election. Chair- man Nye has been investigating the source of the money given to the Broken Bow Norris, who was prevented by the courts from running against Senator George W. Norris. NATIONAL 48-HOUR LAW ADVOCATED BY BUTLER By the Associated Press. BOSTON, October 18 —William M.
