.1 ALLEN HITS “WASTE” IN RELIEF Attacks New Deal Spending, Praises Landon Before Large Crowd. An overflow crowd in the small ball room of the Willard Hotel last night | heard Henry J. Allen, former Kansas i Governor and United States Senator, | attack New Deal expenditures and Relief Administration and praise Gov. Landon as a man pledged to economy in government. Allen, publisher of the Topeka State | Journal, was principal speaker at & rally of the Landon and Knox Cam- paign Club of the District. His lis- teners filled every chair in the meet- ing room, sat in window seats and stood six deep in the doorway to ap- playd his sallies against the Demo- | cratic administration and his predic- | tions of Republican victory in No- ‘vember. After mocking New Deal assurances | of taxatione“breathing spells” as in- sulting the intelligence of the elec- torate, Allen launched into a specific attack on the handling of unemploy- ment relief. “Nobody resents relief,” he said “The resentment is due to the waste of the millions that have gone into the political administration of relief.” | election will be Mr. Roosevelt's record in the White House compared with that of Alf M. Landon as a State executive, In his concluding remarks, Allen said Landon “tells youth what they can do for this Nation,” while the President “tells youth what the Nation can do for them.” Allen was introduced by James C. Wilkes, chairman of the Republican State Committee for the District, who said: “This is not a mere cam- paign—this is a crusade. Says Democrats Join. Paul E. Lesh, president of the club, told the audience: “You'd be sur- prised how many Democrats are join- ing the Landon and Knox Campaign Club.” He reported the club had raised $1,000 more than a similar club had raised in 1932 to support the Hoover-Curtis candidacies. Thorn- ton Owen, chairman of the. club's Membership Committee, revealed this was made possible by one gift of | $3,000. John Locke Green, Republican can- didate for Representative from the eighth district of Virginia; Frank T. Campbell, chairman of the Arlington | County, Va., Republican Financial Committee, and James C. Rogers, treasurer of the Landon-LeGore Club | In Montgomery County, Md., were among those on the speakers' plat- form.

He charged that the principal bene- ficiaries of relief money were “a set of political grafters.” Allen’s interpretation of Col. Frank Knox's controversial statement about the insecurity of insurance policies and bank deposits was that such in- | vestments, while they may be safe now, “will not be safe” if President Roosevelt is returned to the White House and authorizes more expendi- | tures at the present rate. Continu- | ance of New Deal “extravagances” | will lead to destruction of the Nation's credit, Allen warned. “I'm not going to say that the New Dealers are Communists,” Allen con- tinued, “but if I were a Communist those are the chaps I'd be voting for on the 3rd of November.” Landon Called “Understanding.” ‘The former Kansas Governor, who succeeded to the late Charles Curtis’ Senate seat when Curtis became Vice President, characterized the Repub- liean presidential nominee, an old friend of his, as “an understanding man,” able to appreciate the day-to- day problems of the average citizen. Allen praised Landon's record of economy as Governor of Kansas and declared the issue in | protests to Madrid and the League cf the national | surgents lost 115 men.

LAST ALCAZAR TOWER FALLS, Fascists Driven Underground as At- tackers Near Final Push, | BY JAMES C. OLDFIELD. | (Copyright. 1936, by the Assoctated Press.) | TOLEDO, Spain, September 22— Socialist artillerymen, dropping & quickened rain of steel into tne ruined Alcazar, drove dogged Fascists completely underground todav after ‘lhe last fortress tower crumpled in | & barrage of shells. This correspondent watched the re- lentless fire which caught the south- east tower—last of four at the cor- ners of the historic Alcazar—squarely |in the middie and sent it crashing down. | | From the roof of the residence of the Toledo chief of police I saw shots | from two 6-inch guns plow into the | | massive stone structure from the north and east. With deafening blasts the shots THE EVENING tore apart the masonry. A cloud of thick, black smoke enveloped the tower as little groups of insurgents, perched precariously on the wall seg- ments which stood alone after days of bombardment, scrambled down in a rain of rocks, ‘They disappeared into the subter- ranean caverns beneath the battered hulk of what formerly was the royal residence of the Spanish rulers. A new artillery assault began almost as soon as the noise and smoke died away. For the first time in nearly 24 hours the bark of Fascist machine guns from improvised positions inside the ruins was silenced. Surrounding the fortress, a line of government militiamen waited for the order which would send them charging into the battered edifice for a “final assault,” once planned but later postponed. But Maj. Emilio Torres, commander of the government attackers, delayed | the advance after Gen. Jose Asensio, supreme military leader of all Social- ist forces in Central Spain, left Toledo hurriedly for the Talavera battle sector. i “Everything is fine,” Torres as- serted curtly in response to questions on the progress of the assault. He declined to predict when the order to advance would be given. CAPITAL ZERO HOUR NEAR. (Copyright, 1936, by tne Assvciated Press.)

Plenty of Parking Space STAR, WASHINGTON, Madrid, the insurgents were confi- dent their trained soldiers would over~ whelm the government's hastily re- cruited militiamen. Officers said the day for Gen. Francisco Pranco’s supreme effort to storm the capital defenses “might be close.” Franco's advance guard descended on the strategic highway junction of Maqueda, while their martial compan- jons “mopped up” the umeven terri- tory on both sides of the Talavera- Madrid road. (The capture of Maqueda, opening direct roads to Madrid and Toledo, D. C, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22, was announced 'officially by the Fas- cist provisional government at Burgos. (An officlal communique, which corroborated a previous insurgent bulletin issued at Seville, said Fascist troops under Gen. Franco seized the highway junction 45 miles southeast of the capital. (Capture of the highway point gave the Fascists control of two main highways, one leading to Madrid, 45 miles northeast, and the other lead- ing to Toledo, 26 miles southeast. Both Madrid and Toledo are domi- nated by government forces.) ‘The Fascist advance was accom- 1936. panied by terrific fire from 1ifles, machine guns and artillery in the hands of the attackers. Fighting planes rained bullets and bombs on the retreating Socialists and engaged in aerial combat with government ships which attempted to cut the Fascist advance from the rear. Moorish legionnaires patrolled the streets of Otero, a small settlement south of the highway about midway between Talavera and Maqueda. Fasclst commanders, who were re- ceiving personal orders from Gen. Franco, established field headquar- ters at Otero. U. S. S. TEXAS IN CRASH WITH BRITISH TANKER Admiral Arthur J.
