FRANCE WILL END SYRIAN MANDATE . Accord to Be Signed Sept. 9 Paves Way for Inde- pendence. By the Assoclated Press. PARIS, September 5.—Syria, & Prench mandate, will be launched on its way to independence, officials an- nounced tonight, in a treaty with France ending the mandate in 1939. The accord, which is to be signed September 9, is the result of weeks of negotiations between Syrian National- ists and the French foreign office and army officers. During the three-year period of the transition, the Syrian Lebanese Re- publics and the administrative divi- sions of Lattakia and Jebel Druse will be unified. French troops, under terms of the pact, will be reduced in Syria, and those that remain will be garrisoned in specified districts. Syrian Nationalists have agitated vigorously for independence. Earlier this year student strikes in several Syrian cities, in which hundreds were killed and wounded, brought a warn- ing from French officials a “campaign of chaos” would delay independence. France, however, promised a treaty of independence on lines similar to the agreement between Iraq and Brit- ain, but the extreme Nationalists in Byria regarded it as unsatisfactory. They asked immediate and com- plete independence of the mandate. Syria is a former province of the old Turkish empire, made an inde- pendent state by the treaty of Sevres, | August 10, 1920, and administered un- | der the mandate given to France by | the Supreme Council of the allied | powers, which became effective Sep- | tember 29, 1923. 8 WILL ENTER G.

S.eclal Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, September 5—In a final report on its survey of employ- ment in the United States, conducted | i over the last 21 weeks, the New York | Corcia Manslla, Sun today estimates that the number of people employed in industry and | trade averaged 25,618,000 in 1935 and that an average of 3,593,000 were un- employed. During 1936, the Sun’s sur- vey indicates, there were remarkable | gains in employment, with the conclu- sion that there is now “no unemploy- | tiona) representative of the Spanish | people, is confining its actions to re- ment problem in some major industries and in others it is not of any grave proportions.” ‘The survey covered only industry and trade and did not include agri- culture, the professions and domestic and personal service. The Sun’s poll included a total of 10,374,000 workers employed in 1929, or 37 per cent of the 28,000,000 with jobs in industry and trade recorded by the 1930 census, and 9,089,000 em- ployed in 1935. This, it was felt, was a large enough sample to permit the application of the percentages to the entire 28,000000 and thus estimate total employment and unemployment. Employment in 1929 was figured at 27,- 968,000 and employment in 1935 at 25,618,000, a decline of 2,350,000. It was estimated that 1,243,000 new work- ers entering the industrial and trade fields in that period were added to the unemployed, making a total of 3,593,- 000 jobless. Observations of Director. Charles H. Franklin, who directed the Sun'’s survey, made the following observations on its showing: “The reports to the Sun seem to prove conclusively that there is no un- employment problem in some major industries and in others it is not of These in- dustries are steel, automobiles, fabrics, textiles, clothing, paper, food, oil, printing, chemicals, leather, household electrical equipment and power and light (apart from the construction side). “The steel industry proper, that is, blast furnaces, steel works and rolling mills, is a case in point. The employ- ment figures for wage earners were 419,534 for 1929 and 385,328 for 1935,a decrease of 34,206 workers. This de- crease is reflected in the Sun’s figures, which, for iron, steel and their prod- ucts give a 1935 percentage of 92.7 per cent, as against 100 for 1929. Yet for the first half of the year 1936 steel employment was 427,500 and for the month of June it was 451,299, an increase in June, 1936, of 31,750 above 1929. “On the other hand, the survey seems to prove conclusively that un- employment may be traced to a few particular classes of industry, which are: The manufactures of heavy ma- chinery, such as locomotives and other railroad equipment, and industrial equipment, building construction, rail- road transportation, communications and mining. “Running through (hese figures is the plain evidence that business—big, medium and little—has been putting back men to work by the millions. Already a shortage of skilled labor is manifesting itself throughout the cotintry. “The re-employment of But one- half of the real employables would automatically solve the problem. In industry that means 1,500,000 to 2,- 000,000 new jobs. Providing them is no small task. It costs plenty of money to put one man to work, to say nothing of 1,000,000 men, Money for New Jobs. “Where is it to come from—this money to put 1,500,000 to work—to build the homes for the 5,000,000 we have added to our population, to re- place obsolete factories and equip- ment? “It can come only from the sources which provided it in the past—from industry and business, workers and investors, small and large. And it can come only if these sources are not dried up by taxation or destroyed by the tax collector's use of tax moneytonluplhopmmnthe taxpayer.” (cum-n& 1936, by North American r Alliance snd New !o:‘h“ W ACTRESS SOON TO WED HOLLYWOOD, Calif., September 5 (#)—Maureen O'Sullivan, screen actress, and John Farrow, film writer, will be married either September 12 or 13 in the old mission at Santa for the wedding, necessary because reign Taoh Farrow has been divorced.

Madrid Rejects Envoys’ Plea To “Humanize” Civil Warfare By the Asscciated Press. SAINT JEAN DE LUZ, France, Sep- tember 5.—Efforts of foreign diplo- mats to “humanize” the Spanish civil war and end reported mass execution of hostages, collapsed tonight. The diplomats, residing here since | they fled their posts in Spain, an- nounced the Madrid Socialist-Com- munist government sent a “polite re- jection” of their proposals. ‘The Madrid regime ignored specific be ex- changed rather than executed, Daniel Argentine Ambas- sador, said. The Madrid answer asserted in part: “While appreciative of the initiative | and aims of your excellency (Man- silla), undertaken in your own name and in the names of your colleagues | accredited at Madrid, the government which is the sole legitimate constitu- pressing military insurrection, which has created this painful situation and which the government desires to end as quickly as possible by all means within its power, as is demonstrated by the actions and methods it now is pursuing.” Mansilla, in a formal communique, | pointed out the corps had taken cqn- certed action “with a view to offering their mediation without political or military motives to humanize the civil war as much as possible.” The idea behind the move, he said, was “to protect the civil population against such sufferings as imprison- ment of hostages and other non- combattants, against blows struck at public health by lack of medical aid, water and light and against loss of human life caused by bombardment of defenseless cities.” “Since the reply does not author- ize in the least execution of the plan, the diplomatic corps abstains’ for the moment from taking further steps,” Mansilla said. The mediation program had been advanced first to the Madrid gov= ernment in the hope it might lead eventually to a truce in the bloody civil conflict. Paris (Continued From First Page.) program of public works to relieve un- employment in an effort to satisfy the labor unions. The cabinet’s decisions on neutral- ity, national defense and other such problems are expected to be an- nounced after they are communicated to President Lebrun Monday. A direct answer to the workers was not given. The union, which belongs to the General Confederation of Labor, com- posed largely of Communists and So- clalists, remains in session to heag their delegation’s report from the cab- inet deliberations. Demands for Socialists. ‘The Communist party also awaited & reply to a demand made yesterday to Socialists that they join in & joint Communist-Socialist delegation to ask Premier Blum to end the non-inter- vention policy in the Spanish civil ‘war. Strike threats recalled the wave of “folded arms” strikes which caused more than 1,500,000 Frenchmen to halt work while the Blum government early in its career this Spring passed social-labor legislation. A petition to the premier from 2,000 automobile factory workers asked the government to * our courageous Spanish comrades.” Their petition came after & 30-minute strike yesterday at the Hotchkiss ‘works at Levallois. Further and more energetic action was promised “if the blockade is not lifted,” permitting aid to be sent to the Spanish Communist-Socialist gov- ernment. But Premier Blum, who initiated the general European movement for neutrality and non-intervention in Spain, was reporud standing by his original int n'umdluwd.hmm the gov- ernment might try to smooth over the workers' demands by contending neutrality by all nations and compiete bans on the shipment of munitions to either the Madrid government or the Fascist rebels would, in effect, be of benefit to the government side. The French Leftist government's Socialists were mmmumw-tmyu Italy were supplying aid to the Fascist rebels. Under the general non-intervention agreement, it was declared, no nation could render aid. ‘That solution of the problem, it was said, would be & better one than “to Had the Madrid government been willing, it was planned to approach the rebel junta at Burgos with the same proposals, seeking to bring the opposing forces together. The attempt might be renewed, Mansilla said, “as soon as prerequi- sites for these aims exist.” (Franco-British efforts to form an international neutrality committee to consider mediation of the war and possible steps to end reported atroci- ties still were under way tonight. (This committee hoped to meet within a few days, its efforts speed- ed by Germany's acceptance of an invitation to participate in discus- sions.) United States Ambassador to Ma- drid, Claude G. Bowers, took no part in the efforts of diplomats here. His stand was in line with the United States’ policy of strict non-interven- tion in any manner in the civil war. GERMANY ACCEPTS BID. Prince von Bismarck Will Represent Reich at Parley. BERLIN, September 5 (#).—Ger- many today accepted the Franco- British invitation to join a pro- posed international committee to con- trol neutrality in the Spanish civil war. Prince Otto von Bismarck, grand- son of the “Iron Chancellor” and Charge d'Affaires of the German Em- bassy in London, where the commit= tee is expected to sit early next week, was appointed to represent the Reich. The long-awaited German response came in answer to British assurances | that neutrality would be the sole aim of the committee and “political intrusions” would be barred. Prince von Bismarck, 38 years old, is the son of the late Prince Herbert | von Bismarck and the former Coun- tess Hoyos. A veteran of the World War who served on the Russian front in 1917, | Socialist government troops and con- and 1918, he was a Nationalist mem- ber of the Reichstag from 1924 to 1928. He entered the diplomatic serv- ive in 1927. LEGAL FRATERNITY HONORS D. C. MAN Horace Lohnes Is Elected Vice| Chancellor of Delta Theta Pi.

MADRID, September 5. — The Spanish government, consolidating its radical adherents in a new cabinet charged with bringing speedy end to Fascist rebellion, assured American investors tonight their property in Spain would be given every protec- tion, Although two Communists, the first ever to gain posts in a Spanish cabi- net, were members of the new gov- ernment, Socialist Minister of the Treasury Juan Negrin said: “We are particularly interested in letting the United States know it need have no fear Spain will turn Communist and renege on her obliga- tiens.” The government has taken over “every availabls factory in every in- dusiry in the land,” Negrin continued, to speed war against rebels. “Any other nation faciig such an emergency as Spain faced during primary stages of the insurrection would have done the same. But at the close of the present conflict the government will do all in its power to right any wrongs which may have been caused.” The new cabinet, headed by Ex- tremist Francisco Largo Caballero, who was a powerful leader in the revolution that ousted former King Alfonso in 1931, sought first to unify military operations under one high command.

By the Associated Press. SAN SEBASTIAN, Spain, Septem- ber 5.—Completely encircled by rebel troops, this Bay of Biscay resort city | may surrender without a fight after resisting bombardments virtually since | the outbreak of the rebellion. Basque Nationalists and Socialists agreed today to surrender the city. | They feel it useless to fight against the insurgents’ superior numbers and want to spare the city from possible burning by Anarchists. Communists and Anarchists were | equally determined, however, to fight to the finish despite the threat of re- | newed bombardments by rebel land, | sea and air forces. Antonio Ortega, civil governor of San Sebastian, said there were “grave | possibilities” fighting would break out in the city between opposing factions within the Popular Front even before the rebels arrive. | Insurgent troops were within 4 | miles of the city and the government's | 6-inch guns already were firing on | rebel positions from the outskirts, BRIDGE AT IRUN CLOSED. (Copyright. 1930, by the Associated Press.) IRUN, Spain, September 5.—Fascist | rebels, masters of this battle-scarred city, closed the international bridge into Hendaye tonight to cut off fleeing solidated forces for attack on nearby forts. The Fascists drove off despenu government fighters who sought w! retain the Spanish end of the bridge | into France after fleeing theebel fire | that marked the fall of Irun. Four armored cars, camouflaged with tree branches, rumbled through the ruined city and bore down on| the fleeing Irun defenders, who sought | refuge in a few isolated trenches and | flelds. The city itself was & mass of wreck- age, the streets littered with bodies and blasted paving-block barricades. | Several convents were destroyed by fire. The largest hotel was burned. Interiors of houses were destroyed by flames, their walls scarred with bul- lets and shrapnel. Windows were shattered. Swinging into the city, besieged bit- terly since the revolt began more than six weeks ago and now empty of its women and children who fled before their men abandoned the de- fense, the Fascist rebels shouted vic- tory songs and stopped to gulp tinned food left in wrecked cafes, The fate of Fascist hostages held by government defenders of Irun was unknown. There were reports 100 of the war prisoners were executed, but hundreds of others still were be- lieved held in the government forts. ‘Three hundred Socialists from San Sebastian joined Irun government troops in the unsuccessful attempt to retain the international bridge- head. ‘The government militia retreated hastily, carrying with them supplies of ammunition received from Bar- celona, under the scathing hail of rebel machine gun fire, A heavy barrage of artillery pro- tected the rebel attack on the bridge. Three of the Socialist force which held the approach to the bridge on the Spanish side throughout the night were left dead. Five were wounded. _Thirty-five more fled to safety on Prench soil. Ten government anarchists died in the retreat. Several rebel shells fell near the Demonstrators at this attrac- tive price. Come early. 1936—PART ONE. Miners’ A.F.L. 7 P ” o J mmrm o LaseR. o Lo Wy ?

Government Troops Rain Shells on : Crumbling Walls. (Copyright. 1936, by the Associated Press.) TOLEDO, Spain, September 5.— Clouds of smoke rose tonight from the southern battlements of the be- leagured Alcazar as government troops rained heavy shells on its crumbling walls, preparatory to storming the citadel. Asturian miners worked in the smoking ruins of the military head- | quarters at the foot of the walls, clearing ground for the attempt to break the rebels’ resistance to their weeks-long siege. ‘Through the night, men armed with hand grenades stormed the outer build- ings of the once magnificent military academy, drove the rebels from their hiding places and fired the building. Their purpose was to clear the ground over which the insurgents might seek to make a last desperate lunge for liberty. The cleared swath through the debris also would make a road for Joyal forces when they stormed the building. Government artillery, meanwhile, kept pouring shells into the fortress | where breaches in the thick mlsonryi walls kept widening. Two of the‘ northern walls were ready to tumble in ruins while arches could be seen blasted out of the building's inside where shells had hit them. ‘The northeast tower crumbled under fire from the government’s 6 and 8 inch guns and huge masses of stone\ hurtled into a pile of wreckage at the base. ‘The battery scored a direct hit on the northwestern tower in the after- noon. Eight soldiers who had been held prisoners in the Alcazar by their | officers escaped during the night. They told loyal officers that the | rebels had virtually exhausted their | food and that the Alcazar well, run- ning dry, no longer could quench | the thirst of the almost 2,000 persons | inside the centuries-old walis. FIGHTING NEAR TOLEDO. MADRID, September 5 (#)—The government announced tonight one | of the major battles of the war was being fought at Talavera de la Reina, about 44 miles west of Toledo. Officials said 7,000 troops of loyalist militia, supported by a squadron of | bombing planes, had been hurled against the insurgent forces of Gen. Emilio Mola. The loyalist forces sought to bar the northward aurge of the rebels toward Madrid and stop them from approaching Toled8 through the Tajo Valley. The fighting there, the government | source said, has been intense for the last two days and Gen. Mola’s forces were being driven back toward their strongholds in the Estremadura re- gion. (Gen. Francisco Franco, rebel leader, announced at Seville that government forces were defeated at Talavera de la Reina, said rebel leaders at Burgos.) Smoke Victim Asks Cigarette.

Arthur Jordan PIANO COMPANY WASHERS TWO-TUB ;. $1 Week Pays VIRGINIA SHERIFF ORDERED QUSTED Greene County Officer Is! Found Guilty of Charge of Intoxication. | By the Associated Press. STANDARDSVILLE, Va., Septem- | ber 5.—A Madison County jury found Sheziff R. A. Malone of Greene County guilty on two charges of public intoxication after 25 minutes’ deliberation today. Circuit Judge Lemuel F. Smith entered judgment that the sheriff be | ousted from office, but suspended ex- ecution 60 days in order to give de- fense counsel time in which to seek a review by the Supreme Court of Appeals. The court overruled a defense mo- tion to set aside the verdict as con- trary to the law and evidence, and placed Malone under $500 suspension bond pending the appeal. The sheriff will continue in office during the 60-day period. The jury’s verdict was “guilty” ef charges “four” and “seven.” As listed in an ouster petition filed by Trial Justice R. N. Early, County Agent Jesse Ewel, jr, and others, which charged Sheriff Malone with | intoxication on seven specific occa- sions. One of those on which he was con- victed charged intoxication in the | court room on May 29, and the other on the streets after a lodge meeting June 6. The defense sought to show thnt there had been “friction” in rela- tions between the sheriff and Early, | | one of the petition signers. | Early testified Friday as a prose- | cution witness that he signed the | petition to “see if we could clean up | the county.” | Sheriff Malone was acquitted of | similar charges by a Greene Coumy\ Jjury last year and later re-elected for i a new term. Judge Smith granted a | commonwealth motion for a change of venire when the new proceedings were instituted, and a seven-man jury from Madison heard the case, | which was prosecuted by Robert ‘Whitehead of Nelson County. Walker and C. Willlams, both of Charlottesville, comprise the defense | counsel. TARIFF POLICIES SCORED BY LEMKE “Put Over Through Well-Or- ganized Lobby and Pub- licity Machine.” By tne Assoctated Press. SHEBOYGAN, Wis., September 5.— ‘Willilam Lemke, Union party candidate for President, attacked the administra« tion tariff policies in an address pree pared for delivery tonight, charging they were “put over through a well- organized lobby and publicity ma- chine, which was entirely successful in misleading the majority Congress.” Lemke came here from De Pere, Wis., where he spoke earlier in the day, to address a mass meeting of progressive Ppolitical groups, including the Farm- ers’ Union, National Union for Social Justice and the Townsend old-age pen- sion group. Constitutional Violation. ‘The North Dakota Representative called the reciprocal tariff giving the President power to reduce tariffs by agreement “a direct violation of the constitutional provision.” Striking at an act creating free zones, Lemke asserted it “is now pos= sible for foreign nations to store their manufactured and agricultural pro- ducts for one year without paying any duty. “This means,” he said, “that our foreign competitors are in a posi- tion to flood all the key American markets at an instant’s notice. Na- turally, when this occurs, it is at the expense of the American farmer, the American laborer and the American manufacturer.” Interests Behind It. He charged that “back of the legis= lation” was “no one else than the Manufacturers' Export Association” and certain banking and manuface turing interests. “As a result of this un-American policy,” Lemke declared, “our coun= try is now being flooded with foreign agricultural and manufactured come modities as never before in its history.” CUTINW.P.A.ROLLS CITED BY OFFICIAL 149,000 Fewer Workers Reported in North Central Area, De- spite Drought. Br the Associated Press. CHICAGO, September 5—Howard O. Hunter, assistant W. P. A. admin- istrator, commenting on employment conditions, said tonight that in spite | of drought additions the 13 States of the north central area had 149,000 fewer workers on W. P. A. pay rolls than during the peak of unemploy- ment last Winter. “Had favorable weather conditions prevented the drought disaster the re- duction of W. P. A. pay rolls would have amounted to 25 per cent between March 1 and September 1,” Hunter said. “Even with the drought included, the reduction amounts to 15 per cent.” His statement listed 756,611 persons at work on regular W. P. A. projects in the area September 1, 2s compared with 998,042 at the March 1 peak. In both cases 95 per cent were from pube lic relief rolls, he said. The addition of 112,242 drought vie- tims brought the total September 1 figure up to 849,053, which was 148,989 below the high figure. Because of improved private em- ployment, Hunter said, some States were encountering difficulty ‘n keep- ing up with minimum employment quotas authorized on regular W. P. A. projects. Workers in some cases have been leaving W. P. A. pay rolls fcr private jobs almost as fast as relief clients were being adds PAINT For a Durable Finish on Autos, Boats, Furniture and Radiators.
