(Two opposing armies, by a simul- taneous flanking' movement, would appear to have each cut the other's line of communications, and, in effect, be mutually surrounded.) Reports of the Maqueda victory came while Madrid was celebrating the second annjversary of the Octo- ber Spanish proletarian revolution. In Qviedo, the northwestern pro- vincial capital of the Asturias, scene of the bloodiest phase of the October revolt in 1934, an army of miners reached the outskirts of the city un- molested by insurgent columns from Galicia, official reports said. New columns of militia for the de- fense of the capital were reported en (8ee SPAIN, Page A-3) nd. The cabinet also approved a capital levy on property owners, who were required to subscribe to a loan to the extent of 5 per cent of the valuation of their property. Mussolini, in effect, has restored the ratio which existed between the lira and the dollar before the United States cut the dollar to approximately $0.59 in exchange. Originally parity between the lira and the undevalued dollar was:.0526. The new parity between the devalued currencies of Italy and the United States is set at approximately .052 Parity of the lira to the devaluated dollar was 8.91 before today’s action. Thus, the Italian currency, meeting the 41 per cent devaluation of the United States currency, was devalued | 41 per cent. Devaluation gave the government and the Bank of Italy an estimated 2,000,000,000 lire increase in paper cur- rency to add to estimated gold and foreign currency holdings of 5,000,000,- 000 lire. 5 Action Follows Conversations, Stock and exchange markets will open under the new decrees tomorrow. The devaluation followed conversa- tions on monetary alignment between Italy, Great Britain and Prance, con- erning which the United States was vised.

P. DENIES TRADE IS BLOW TO CHANCES | | Republican Hopes of Divided Op- position in State Campaign Held Shattered. BY G. GOULD LINCOLN, Stafl Correspondent of The Star. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., October 5.— Politics in Minnesota have been stirred | to the boiling point by Saturday’s deal between one faction of the Democratic ‘party. by which it will throw its sup- | port to the Farmer-Labor candidates for Governor and Senator in return for Farmer-Labor support of President | Roosevelt. ‘[ Are the Democrats sore—those who were not in on the deal? It ‘wss the faction headed by Joseph | Wolf, former Democratic national committeeman, which made the trade, aidea and abetted by the Roosevelt high command in Wash- ington and New York. The Ryan- Regan-Moonam faction, which fought the Wolf faction to a stand- still and forced the selection of a compromise candidate for Democratic national committeeman at Philadel- phia last June, is astounded. Some ! of its members are fighting mad and threatening to form a Democratic organization to aid the Republican candidates. The deal was put across in a des- perate effort to head off Landon in this State. It was cleverly en- gineered. As the first step in the deal the Democrats withdrew their candidates for Governor and Senator, Curtis and Delaney, from the ballot. And the withdrawal was made at the last minute, so that other Dem- | ocrats would be helpless to do any- thing about putting forward new candidates. Under the State law all candidates filing must be in the hands of the secretary of State 30 days before the election. Saturday was the last day, and on that day the Wolf faction did the “dirty work at the cross roads,” at leasi that's what the other faction calls it. Remaining Candidates. Anyway, Curtis and Delaney are off the ballot, leaving only the Repub- lican and the Farmer-Labor candi- dates for Governor and Senator to fight it out at the polls. The Repub- lican candidates are Martin A. Nelson for Governor and Representative Theo= dore Christianson for Senator. Against them the Farmer-Labor party has nominated Representative Lundeen for the Senate and Senator Benson for Governor. This is the first time in years the Democrats have not had candidates for Senator and Governor on the ballot, although it has been years since any Democrat was elected to one of these offices. The anti-Wolf faction is screaming that the Demo- cratic party has been “sold down the river,” and that the party is sinking, if not sunk. The truth of the matter is that neither the Democratic candidate for | Governor nor for Senator had a ghost of a show in the triangular race. They only served to divide the vote against the Republicans. The Republicans in this State have really come to life again and the Farmer-Laborites. who have been winning major elections for several years, were scared—just as scared as Chairman James A.

'SHORT RAIL ROUTE 'SHORT T0 BOWIE SOUGHT Pennsylvania Asks Permission to Purchase Gravel Company Trackage. In an effort to provide a shorter route to the Bowie Race Track, both from Washington and the East in gen- eral, the Pennsylvania Railroad applied to the Interstate Commerce Commis- sion today for permission to purchase trackage owned by the Massaponax Sand & Gravel Co. of Prince Georges | County, Md. The plant has a line 1.47 miles in length about half 2 mile from Arundel, which the Pennsylvania would tie into both 1its main line and its present trackage at Bowle. Concurrently, the Pennsylvania asked permission to abandon the old route into the track by way of Odenton, which it purchased some time ago from the Washington, Baltimore & Annapolis Electric Railway Co. The Pennsylvania explained in its application that it had attempted un- successfully to buy the industrial track before. The new routing proposed will provide better service and can be op- erated at less cost than is at present possible, the road says. The application explains that a por- tion of its former W., B. & A. holdings at Naval Academy Junction is to be retained for fyture industrial develop- ment.
