PHONE RATE CUTS IN EFFECT TODAY Reductions Ordered by Utili- ties Commission Will ; Total $251,800. Reductions in telephone rates amounting to $251,800, ordered last week by the Public Utilities Commis- sion, went into effect today. The rate cut—apportioned among approximately 118,000 subscribers, ac- eording to the class of service they use—was the result of negotiations with the Chesapeake & Potomac Tele- phone Co. started about two months 8go when the commission found the eoncern’s return was in excess of 6 per cent. The reduction was based on a prin- eiple upheld by District Court in litiga- tion over a cut of about $500,000 ef- fected in 1932, In that case the com= mission’s reduction order was calcu- lated to permit the company a return of 6 per cent on its invéstment and the court held the order was not un- veasonable. Domestic Rates Cut. Fifty-five per cent of the new rate eut has been applied to domestic echedules and 45 per cent to com- mercial subscribers. An entirely new residential service Is provided. It is a two-party flat rate of $350 a month. The subscriber taking this service will have the ad- vantage of an unlimited number of ealls, just as the subscriber who pays $4.20, but will be on a two-party line (nstead of a private line. Individual Lines Reduced. The individual flat rate for a private line was reduced from $4.30 to $4.20. Bubscribers having a two-party lim- ited-message service will continue to ay $2.25 a month, but the number of calls is increased from 40 to 45. For the business service the indi- vidual message charge is reduced from 50 messages a month at $3.60 to 50 for $3.50. The individual business message rate also is changed from 100 messages a month at $5.50 to 110 tnessages for the same price.

The action of the government mi- litia in thrusting Fascist hostages be- fore the bombardment had earlier brought a protest “to the civilized world” from the rebel provisional gov- ernment headquarters at Burgos. DEAD PUT AT 85,000, MADRID, September 1.— Careful estimates of casualties in the first six weeks of Spain’s civil war, based on reports to the Red Cross and other available statistics, place the dead at between 75,000 and 100,000. The wounded are in the neighbor- hood of 300,000. Both sides have exaggerated the losses inflicted on each other. But official circles are understood to ad- mit privately the war dead approxi- mates 85,000. Damage caused by heavy bombard- ments from land, sea and air, prob- ably will reach millions of pesetas. Many smaller towns have been al- most depopulated as a result of pass- ing from the hands of government forces to those of rebels, and vice versa. Cabinet Change Planned. Prospective reorganization of the Socialist cabinet to include one Com- munist member was reported as the capital was awakened shortly before dawn by a fresh rebel air attack. The Fascist bombing planes drop- ped a number of bombs into the city streets, but a preliminary survey showed only slight damage. The population was aroused by screaming sirens. Searchlights swept the sky. Anti-aircraft batteries and machine guns roared out against the aerial raiders. The bombardment lasted for almost three quarters of an hour. Then small groups of frightened citizens be- gan to emerge from subway stations, basements and lower floors of their homes. Later, the ministry of war reported officially the air raid had been repelled successfully by anti-aircraft units, and umt the rebel planes were forced to No one was injured and no impor- tant damage caused, the announce- ment stated. W Submarine Frustrates Raid, A similar arr rad at Bubao was said by the government to have been of HOM the rebel ship Dato and destwyed it. trustrated by a government submarine, which fired from the dock where it was being repaired. The rebel air- plane fled .ithout dropping its full load of bombs, officials stated. Madrid’s citizenry, now accustomed to the thundering explosions-of aerial bombs and the blast of anti-aircraft pieces, walked quietly about the streets after today's raid. There was much grumbling, how- ever, over loss of sleep. Revision of the membership of Pre- mier Jose Giral Pereira’s cabinet, “to comply with demands of the present circumstances,” was outlined by a high authoritative source. The personnel changes, it was de- clared, would be designed to give representation to additional factions of the Popular Front political coali- tion. Four Would Withdraw, Four present ministers would with- draw, this source asserted, naming the quartet as follows: Minister of state, Justino Azcarate; minister of public works, Antonio Lara; minister of education, Marce- lino Domingo, and minister of justice, Manuel Blasco Garzon. ‘The new cabinet members were pro- posed to include one Communist, one Socialist, one representative of the Confederation of Labor, and Indalecio Prieto, Socialist leader, who formerly held the ministries of public works and finance. The Socialist government, fighting fo suppress a Fascist revolution now in its sewenth week, announced & series of fresh victories in scattered engagements with the rebels. ‘The war ministry reported officially these victories: Defeat of a column of Moors at 8 COSTLY LEAKS factorily repaired by experts.

SPANISH LEFTISTS INPARIS ASSAILED French Nationalists Claim Delegation Is Seeking Arms Delivery. By the Associated Press. PARIS, September 1.—The presence in Paris of three suppirters of the Socialist Spanish government aroused a protest from French Nationalists today. ‘The Spaniards arrived yesterday, asserting they wished to consult “French political friends.” 8 Included in the group were Marcel- ino Domingo, Spanish minister of education; Antonio Lara, minister of public works, and Madame Dolores Irriburi, Communist deputy, known as “La Passionaria.” Violation of Policy Charged. ‘The French Nationalists charged the presence of the Spanish delegation violated the spirit of the non-inter- vention policy of the government of Premier Leon Blum, formulated after the start of the civil war between the Madrid regime and Fascist rebels. Views of the Paris Nationalists were expressed by the newspaper Echo de Paris, a Righist organ, which charged: “This woman (La Passionaria) and her two companions have come to France to try to obtain delivery of arms, munitions and airplanes, and recruit technicians.” Attache’s Expulsion Recalled. The paper recalled the French government had expelled a military gttache at the Spanish Embassy in paris who, after his resignation, had been charged with negotiating on be- half of the Fascist commanders. The same treatment was demanded for the Spanish delegation now in the French capital. Echo de Paris asserted Madame Irriburi and her companions would attempt to contact officials of the French government and later would go_to London. ‘The group, upon {its arrival yes- terday, was met by a French Com- munist delegation headed by Deputy Andre Marty. —_— PROTESTS TO ROOSEVELT Thomas Asks Ban on Shipments to Spain. NEW YORK, September 1 (#).— Normal Thomas, Socialist candidate for President, yesterday sent a tele- gram to President Roosevelt urging him to order the State Department to refuse permits for the shipment of supplies to the rebel forces in the Spanish civil war. Describing the war as a dangerous military revolt “engineered by the economic royalists of Spain,” Thomas said there have been many instances in which the State Department re- fused to permit the shipment of sup- plies to rebels in Latin American countries and stated the same princi- ple “might well be applied now in the Spanish situation.” Jjarreeds, Jubiles and Mieles in Al- meria. Frustration of a rebel attempt to establish contact between two Fascist columns near Oviedo. A government-sponsored purge of Fascists and Fascist sympathizers in Madrid continued as a popular tri- bunal pronounced additional sentences on prisoners brought before it. One of the defendants was reported to be Rafael Salazar Alonso, former minister of the interior, who was ar- rested by a group of Anarchists. Ne. 10 L. P.

MADRID, September 1.—The former Royalist newspaper A B C, which has been taken over by Leftist government newspaper men, today published letters ask- ing that church bells and the bronze from historic facades around Spain be melted to make bullets.
