« BRIDE-T0-BE SLAIN; MISSING KEY CLUE Kentucky Woman Is Shot Mysteriously on Entering Home With Sisters. By the Assoclated Press. COVINGTON, Ky., October 3.—A missing key that fitted a “peculiar lock” in the front door, was an angle studied today by police as they groped for clues in the fatal shoot- ing of 30-year-old Frances Brady, who was to have been married next week. Coroner James P. Riffe described the case as “one of the most baffling murders in the police annals of Cov- tngton.” Miss Brady was shot as she entered her home early yesterday upon re- turning from a “shower.” With her were her sisters, Margaret and Ella. Police quoted Margaret as saying she had difficulty unlocking the front door and gave the key to Frances, who succeeded. Entering first, Prances switched on a light. She uttered a cry, Margaret said, then a shot was fired and Frances stag- gered backward off the front porch onto the lawn. She died en route to a hospital. The sisters sald they saw only a glimpse of a person as he fled through the rear of the house. Alfred Schild, assistant police chief, said the intruder apparently entered through the front door, but because it had a “peculiar lock,” he expressed belief that he may have used a key that had been missing from the Brady home. “Not an Enemy in World.” Asserting Miss Brady “did not have an enemy in the world,” John J. ©O'Donnell, passenger agent for the Louisville & Nashville Railroad, whom Miss Brady had planned to marry next Wednesday, gave an opinion that his flancee was slain by a burglar, seek- ing loot among a stack of wedding gifts. . A different view was taken by Riffe and Police Chief John Puthoff. First theorizing that the assailant was a fobber, they discarded that belief monies.

SOCIALISTS IN SURPRISE MOVE. Conquered Toledo Area Circled by Government Troops. (Copyright, 1936, by the Associated Press.) GOVERNMENT HEADQUARTERS IN THE FIELD, Mora Village, October 3.—The Socialist southern army forced a quick-march manmeuver to- | day, swinging a wide arc southeast of Toledo in a surprise flank movement against the fallen Alcazar City. Revitalized by an inrush of rein- | forcements, the government mllitla‘ fortified a semi-circle around the in- surgent-held Toledo-Bargas area. | The newly-formed government line based its northern end on the hotly- | defended town of Olias Del Rey, 30 Jniles south of Madrid. From there it swung about Toledo, erossing the river Tagus slightly to the southeast, at the important Ma- | drid Southern Railway bridge, and thence to Mora, 55 miles south of the | capital, where, after a bend back to | the west, it straggled off into the Sierra del Bononal Mountains. Two Centers Defended. Equally forward in the government strategy in pushing the counter-attack | against the former capital of the "Moors was a heightened defense of the vital communications centers of Aran- Juez and Castillejos. These foodways to the sea, essential Yo the life of Madrid, lie a scant 15 niles behind the Olias-Mora line. (Insurgents have nominated Aran- Juez and Castillejos as their next im- portant objectives in completing a “starvation-band” about Madrid. Two Fascist columns have been reported fighting ioward them for the last three days.) Socialist military circles called base- Jess rumors, allegedly spread by alarm- ists, that insurgents were attempting to approach Aranjuez by a wide detour to the south through Orgaz. The new line, however, was con- sidered an adequate defense against such a flanking movement. Railroad Bombed Heavily. The concentrations in the Mora , frea drew Fascist birdmen who Jbombed the railroad heavily two or three miles from the ancient royal Bummer resort village. . Two houses were destroyed by the Joad of 14 bombs but the railroad it- self escaped damage. . The small village of Mora turned overnight into a large town, crowded with militiamen and government troops from the Valencia and Aran- 4 ‘jues garrisons. Relieved from duty at the fronmt, they streamed back into town and 1dly walked the streets or sat against the walls of the centuries old church now used as a garage. . Mingled with the thousands of militiamen and assault guards arriv- ing daily were streams of refugees still pouring in from the countryside ‘where they have been hiding since the fall of Toledo.

VATICAN CITY, October 3.—More than 500 priests and nuns have been killed during the Spanish civil war, an unofficial but authoritative com- pilation showed today. Of this number, approximately 400 were priests or male church officials, while the remainder were nuns. Five bishops—those of Barbastro, Siguenza, Segobia, Jaca and Lerida—were in- cluded in the death list. The compilation showed at least 500 more were missing, many of whom are believed in civilian clothes hiding in Spain. Approximately 1,000 others were declared to have fled the country. ‘The number of churches and chapels completely destroyed was set at 29, while between 300 and 400 others have been sacked, used for barracks or hospitals or converted for other pur- poses by Socialists. to win the insurgents a northern sea- port. Gen. Gonzalo Quiepo de Llano, PFranco’s “right hand” at the Seville base, was placed in charge of the southern forces battering against the capital after capturing the Alcazar city of Toledo. The dictator-designate appointed Gen. Miguel Cabanellas inspector- general of both armies. Franco re- placed Cabanellas as head of the pro- visional junta yesterday. After completing his military plans Franco disclosed formation of a tech- nical junta of seven commissions consisting of Departments of Finance, Justice, Agriculture, Labor, Education, Public Works and Communications, and Industry, Commerce and Supplies. He announced he would appoint secretary for foreign affairs to pre- sent the provisional government'’s case to other European nations. Governor generals of each province occupied by the insurgent troops will be named soon, he said. The Fascist government of the in- surgent junta was characterized by the dictator-designate as similar to the Italian “totalitarian” state. Army men will hold all important posts, he asserted, and the question of a royal restoration will be con- sidered “when we are convinced the proper moment has arrived.” LOYAL VICTORY REPORTED.

A new concrete runway has been built, facil- tating the departure of the crowd, through the right-field stands, 367 feet out from home plate, a favorite spot for Ruth’s home runs. Yankee Fans Enthusiastic. It is a well known fact in Man- hattan that Yankee fandom takes its base ball far more seriously than Gians supporters, and today the $1.10 | other fans turned out for the battle, | boys were proving it. Wild with delight over yesterday's slaughter, where five Giant pitchers went down in a typical married men versus single men picnic setting, the faithful came early and loud. Al Schacht was waiting to greet them with a new brass band, this one had the bleachers in turmoil, sing- ing “My Wild Irish Rose,” in honor | of the Itallan flying wedge of Tony Lazzeri, Frank Crosetti and Joe Di Maggio, as well as the “Music Goes Round and Round” in tribute to the Giants in general. The Weather Bureau promised that “clear, fair and balmy” weather would prevail throughout the day. The early crowd lined up outside | the bleacher entrance was in joyous mood, lifting their voices in song to the accompaniment of music provided by a blind accordian player. More than 1,500 fans were in line at the unreserved grandstand ticket booths. Heading both lines were fans of Italian extraction, drawn, no doubt, by the achievements during the regular season and te date in the world series of the Yankees' Latin trio, Tony Lazzeri, Frank Crosetti and Joe Di Maggio, and Gus Mancuso of the Giants. Mound Selections Unchanged. There was no change in the an- nounced pitching selections, Fred Fitzsimmons, veteran knuckle-ball ex- | pert of the Giants, and Irving (Bump) Hadley, Yankee fast-ball artist. The Giants were out for revenge for yesterday’s terrific lacing when the Yankees broke world series records in wholesale fashion in the course of an | | 18-4 victory that squared the series. | Carl Hubbel had pitched the Giants | to & 6-1 triumph in the opening game. | Heading the bleacher line was Frank Fricchione, 25, of Brooklyn, who said he was a W.

That factor would relieve consider- ably the serious hurling situation in | the American Leaguers’ camp, l ing big Red Ruffing for Monday's clash. On that basis, McCarthy changed his mind for today’s pitching assign- ment and unexpectedly nominated Hadley, obtained in a deal with Washington, over the veteran Pat Malone or the steady Johnny Mur- phy to oppose Fitzsimmons' knuckle- balling. Hadley, although the Ameri- can League's leading pitcher this year, with 14 victories and four defeats, was considered largely a lucky thrower, | not particularly impressive.

The winning margin of 14 | runs completely overshadowed the | previous best of 11 by which the Ath- letics walloped the Giants 25 years ago. | “Lazzert’s homer into the right-field | gave him a total of five runs batted | in for a new all-time, one-game, series fiy in the first, another with a single in the third, and three with his every Yank got at least one hit and | round-trip clout into the upper deck } counted one run, something never !

A prediction that removal of “dead- ening impediments to international trade” may follow the Pranco-English- American monetary agreement came today as directors of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States neared the end of their Fall meeting. Referring to the “gentlemen’s agree- ment” to prevent any monetary dis- turbances resulting from devaluation of the franc, the chamber's Committee on Monterary Policy said it was “an important example of international co- operation.” % The pact reflects an iftention of leading governments to seek to lower such artificial trade barriers as quotas and exchange restrictions “which mainly have been outgrowths of cur- rency uncertainties,” the committee asserted Treaties Held Hinderance. Threats to peace, unbalanced na- tional budgets and a still-lacking “final fixation of the gold values of the cur- rencies of the great trading nations” hinder the restoration of international trade to “desirable volume,” reported W. F. Gephart, 8t. Louis banker and chairman of the committee. Success of the monetary agreement, however, “will present a better outlook for world improvement than has offered since the exchanges were dis- rupted five years ago,” he said. A demand that the Federal budget be balanced for the next fiscal year, without increasing the tax burden, was made by Fred H. Clausen, report- ing for the Federal Finance Com- mittee. Clausen urged repeal of the surtax on undistributed earnings of corpora- tions and most of the Nation's “nui- sance” taxes. With a “relatively moderate cut of $500,000,000 in spending and an ex- pected 10 per cent rise in the tax | yield, Clausen said, the Nation’s yearly expenses could be made to equal its income. 7,000,000 Returned to Jobs. Return of “at least” 7,000,000 work- ers to their jobs since the depths of the depression was reported by the Committee on Employment. Unemployment estimates have been “greatly exaggerated,” said John W. O'Leary, Chicago chairman of the group, and ‘“definite shortages” of | | skilled workers are becoming evident | in some industries. | | Training of young people and un- | skilled workers on relief was advo- | cated as an aid to re-employment. | Today the chamber's directors heard the report on the growth of consumers’ co-operatives made by | Clem D. Johnston of Roanoke, Va.,| chairman of the Committee on Dis-| | tribution. Later the directors mobilized a staff | of 500 voluntary workers for a new Nation-wide survey of re-employment | by private business. | O'Leary said the voluntary survey | was being undertaken because pr:v!-l ous estimates of unemployment “have been greatly exaggerated” and were | “useless for practical purposes.” I | | [ vious mark of four held by nine play- ers, including Babe Ruth and Lazzeri | | himself. | The veteran second baseman also| equaled Elmer Smith's performance against Brooklyn in the 1920 series | with a homer with the bases loaded, | which tied him up with the Cleveland | outfielder at four-all in runs batted | in by one player in one inning. Frank Crosetti, the fiery shortstop, | deadlocked Babe Ruth and Earle| | Combs in the series record books by | | scoring four times in one game. The | third member of the Yankees’ Italian | triumvirate, De Maggio, also put his name down by making all three put- outs in the ninth inning, a perform- ance previously only by Mel Ott and Ernie Orsatti. | The total of 22 runs for both teams Cubs piled up exactly four years ago, the six runs by the Yanks in the ninth was the heaviest final-inning the longest game of them all, and Most of the fans had blankets to | in the ninth.

The Childress combination living and bed room contained & double Wbed, a crib, a day bed and a cot. In the community kitchen was a bag of peppermint candy which the father had brought home to his chil- dren and on the stove was an egg the mother had been frying when inter- hupted by the eviction, police said. After supper last night Childress went to the filling station and asked Bilbo the way to No. 2 precinct. He later returned to the station and toid Bilbo the police would not in- terfere in his trouble with the land- The father showed Bilbo $11 which he said he owed Stanton. Childress declared he would not pay Stanton until he had made his home more livable. The taxi driver then left. Some time later Stanton came to the filling station to telephone for police. Mrs. Childress, Bilbo said, came running up a moment later on the same mis- sion. The Childress children were re- moved to the home of their grand- mother in nearby Virginis. They are Ray, jr, 12; Curtis, 10; Ronald, 3; Preddy, 2, and Patricia, 2 months old. —Star Staff Photo. RAY E. CHILDRESS. COURTHALTS STATE 1B TAK PAYMEN Firm Wins Point in Fight on Alabama Unemploy- ment Insurance. By the Assoctated Press. Federal Judge C. B. Kennamer granted | December the Gulf States Steel Co. of Gadsden, Ala, a temporary restraining order yesterday to prevent the State from collecting $31,000 taxes due under the Alabama unemployment insurance law. Judge Kennamer made his order contingent upon the placing the $31,000 in the Federal depository here pending a final de- cision of its attack on the validity of the lam. A hearing on the company’s peti- tion for a permament injunction against collection of the tax was set for October 9 in United States District Court here.

Y, October 3.— President Roosevelt today prescribed three days of rest for himself to pre- pare for his first re-election campaign invasion of the West—starting from Washington the latter part of next week. His next speeches are expected to cover such topics as agriculture, re- ciprocal tariffs and labor, but not nec- essarily in that order. He is still think- ing of going as far West as Denver on the first of at least two forays into the West. Spoke Nine Times in Four States. In the nine speeches and rear- platform talks he has made in four Eastern States since starting his per- sonal campaign last Tuesday the President has covered communism, conservation, budget balancing, relief, banking and social security. Some of these subjects, however, he touched only incidentally, and he probably will give them more prominence in talks to come. The President still had no comment to offer today on the speech of Alfred E. Smith in which the 1928 Democratic presidential nominee announced for Alfred M. Landon. White House officials said the Presi- dent really had not had time to read it all, a® he had been too busy keeping speaking engagement.. and parading in populous Eastern centers. After motoring from New York to the Democratic stronghold of Mayor Frank Hague in Jersey City yesterday to run into a welcoming demonstration that Hague said surpassed any turnout in that city’s history, the Chief Ex- ecutive dedicated a P. W. A.-financed medical building. Then he retraced his course to New York through the same countless thousands of cheering citizens. After a quick lunch at national Democratic headquarters, he went to the Polo Grounds and watched the Yanks pour it on the Giants. Then, through more of New York's milling citizens, he motored to Long Island City, where he spoke briefly and extemporaneously of the metropolitan area’s efforts to provide adequate transportation facilities for its millions of commuters. The occasion was the breaking of ground for the $58,000,000 Queens-Manhattan vehicular tunnel under the East River. The President returned to the Grand Central Station and took his special train for Hyde Park, where he arrived at 8:20 p.m. and received Mrs. Roose- velt's greetings. He will leave Monday night for ‘Washington. Cat Observes Game Laws. FAIRMONT, W. Va. (#)—Alice Virginia Cook, Latin instructor at Fairmont State College, has a cat that observes the game laws.
