B the Assoclated Press. MADRID, October 28.—Besieged and swarming with ragged, hopeless refugees, Madrid began the rigorous Tationing of food today to feed a mil- lion and a half mouths. The civil governor, Carlos Rubien,‘ announced an Emergency Provisioning | Committee, working day and night, was prepared to dole out sustenance to 1,500,000 persons. Authorities said the normal popula- tion of the capital—slightly under a million—had increased virtually 50 per cent, with thousands of refugees and provincial troops pouring in from | the nearby countryside. Simultaneously, the high command announced a new “human avalanche” of 35000 men had been formed by virtue of the mobilization of all able- bodied men between the ages of 20 and 45, not already under arms. ‘This fresh force, officers said, may crush the better-armed insurgents, now within 10 miles of Madrid. CONFUSION RULES CAPITAL. Insurgents Reported Seizing Five More Villages. B) the Associated Press. The Spanish Fascists shoved their outposts today within 10 miles of Madrid—almost within range of their heaviest artillery. ‘While the capital struggled to or- ganize for its defense against a ris- ing tide of confusion and dissension within and an encroaching wave of Fascists on its outskirts, the insurgent command jubilantly drew plans for a triumphant entry. Fascist leaders, having taken five new villages and having advanced their vanguard to a point 16 miles south of beleaguered Madrid, an- nounced they were ready for the final thrust. Government officials, meanwhile, or- dered mobilization of all able-bodied Spaniards between the ages of 20 and 45 to bolster the yielding lines of raw recruits hurled against the manpower and armaments of the Fascists. ‘They combatted the difficult problem of a roaming army of war refugees in the city, tattered, cold, hungry and penniless, who added thousands of mouths to be fed from the city’s | dwindling supplies. | Fearful the impoverished wanderers might start looting and food riots. menacing the city’s organization at a crucial moment, the cabinet ordercd them billetted. The cabinet, after a lengthy session, disclosed the Confederation of Labor demanded representation in the gov- ernment for the syndicalist faction which supports it, but has no official voice. Well-informed sources believed the demands would be met speedily to intrench the government’s authority and hold together the people’s front. The insurgents hoped they could array such a formidable force against the capital it would submit without battle. They relied principally on a fleet of 200 swift, tiny tanks and armored cars to charge the capital’s streets. The date for the attack—rumored imminent—remained a military se- cret, however, and the extent to which the city itself would be shelled was left for the future to decide. It was to depend on the effectiveness of Fas- cist_strategy. which ks to foment FRANK HOGAN INJURED | D. C. Attorney’s Hurts in Auto Crash “Slight.” CHICAGO, October 28 (#).—Frank J.

SIR EDGAR BRITTEN. B the Assoctated Press. SOUTHAMPTON, England, October | 28—Commodore Sir Edgar Britten, commander of the British queen of the seas, the liner Queen Mary, died today, a few hours after he was stricken by paralysis. He was 62 years old. Sir Edgar suffered the stroke just before the Queen Mary was due to leave for New York. Capt. R. V. Peel assumed command while Sir Edgar was rushed to a nursing home, where he died. Sir Edgar, who is 62 years old, joined the service of the Cunard Lines in 1901 and was appointed commodore of the Cunard-White Star Lines in 1935. He first went to sea as a youth of 18 in sailing ships in 1892, serving his apprenticeship for command nearly half a century later of the world’s | fastest trans-Atlantic liner. | He was commissioner in the British | Royal Naval Reserve in 1903 and was knighted by the late King George V| in 1934, A gray-eyed, square-jawed York- shireman, inclined to taciturnity but with a dry sense of humor, he com- mented, “she’s a pretty nice ship” when he first looked over the giant Queen Mary. LS. SALES ABROAD EXCEEDPURSHASES September Trade Balance | Favorabte First Time Since May. BY the Assoctated Press. The Commerce Department reported today that United States exports ex- ceeded imports by $4,442,000 during | September. It was the first month since May that American sales abroad had been greater than purchases from foreign nations. For the first nine months of this year, however, imports exceeded ex- ports by $33,156,000, compared with a $66,496,000 excess of exports for the corresponding 1935 period. Imports were placed at $1,765,450,- | 000 and $1,501,775,000 for the respec- tive nine-month periods. Discussing factors in the export in- crease, the department said unmanu- factured cotton shipments ingreased from $31,817,000 in September, 1935, fo $38,221,000 last month. Exports of industria: machinery increased from $0,228,000 to $12,208,000, and- ship- | ments of agricultural machinery from $2,713,000 to $3,806,000. Commodities on Increase. ! “Among other commodities to be exported in larger value than in Sep- tember of last year,” the department said, “were lard, dairy products, fish, grams, dried fruits, rubber manufac- tures, tobacco manufactures, sawmill products, paper manufactures, crude sulphur, iron and steel mill products, copper, coal tar products and medi- cinal preparations.” Decreases were listed in exports of apples, canned fruits, leaf tobacco and refined petroleum products. Saying that import gains last month over the same month a year ago were distributed over a wide range of commodities, the report added, however, that about half the increase was due to larger imports of crude rubber, sugar, paper manufactures, unmanufactured tobacco, wheat and paper base stock. Crude rubber imports climbed from $8,929.000 in September, 1935, to $17,~ 337,000 last month, while sugar im- ports rose from $6,731,000 to $14,- 394,000. ¥ of the North Shore with a friend when the accident occurred. -Among imports for which declines (See TRADE, Page Ninein U.

FLYING SUIT IS WORN OVER DINNER JACKET Briton Plans to Travel at 15,000 Feet—Plane Is Named for English Actress. —_— BY the Assoctated Press. NEW YORK, October 28.—Attired in a dinner jacket, Capt. James A Mollison, the trans-Atlantic fiyer, took Off at 8:44 am. today in a one-stop flight to London by way of Harbor Grace, Newfoundland, hoping to es- tablish a mark of 17% flying hours from Floyd Bennett Field to Croydon Airdrome. “I do my best flying at night,” ex- plained the Englishman. “So, don't you know, I have to be properly dressed.” He did don a flying suit over his dinner jacket as a concession to low temperatures, and the conventional vest of the man-about-town attired for formal eating had been replaced with & white sweater. He had slipped slacks over his trousers. Believed Over Maine. A monoplane believed that of Capt. Mollison passed over Bar Harbor, Me., at 11:10 am. Eastern standard time. The plane flew at an altitude of 5,000 feet. Mollison, intending to fly at 15,000 feet altitude. figured he could reach | Harbor Grace with his initial load of 420 gallons of gasoline in 5'; hours. His plane, a speedy Bellanca mono- rlane powered with a 700-h.p. motor, has a cruising speed of about 250 miles per hour. It is a single cockpit ship with a | sliding hood to convert it into a closea | type, and is painted blue and orange. Mollison will navigate, he said, only | with a gyroscope compass and an ar- tificial horizon. The plane bears the wing marking “NR-190M.” Gets Message From Wife. Just before the take-off Mollison received a cablegram from his wife Amy wishing him luck on his voyage. She announced in London last week she and Mollison had separated. The fiyer took along no food, but expected to take some aboard at Harbor Grace for the water hop. He said he hoped to pick up the coast of Ireland nine hours out of Harbor Grace and to make London in three ! more hours. Bad weather, he said, may hold him at Harbor Grace for a time. His weather reports from there indicated the hop for London might not be advisable tonight or tomorrow. He expected to increase his load of gasoline to 600 gallons at Harbor Grace. His ship, the Dorothy, was named, he said, for a “very dear friend,” Dorothy Ward, English ac- tress.

In contrast to the heavy force of guards which snapped to attention when the King's friend came home from the Ipswich Divorce Court last night, a lone bobby pounded the beat in front of No. 16 Cumberland terrace.

The Kansas City (Mo.) journalist, ‘emerging safely from the interior, said mistaken identity was the only pos- sible explanation for baseless reports he had been slain by Chinese bandits. Snow said he was mystified, other- wise, by a letter to American mis- sionaries at Sianfu, Shensi Province, giving details' of his “execution” at the hands of Chinese abductors. He said he was not molested at any time during his trip in Northwest China. The mysterious, unsigned letter gave graphic details of the supposed slay- ing, telling how the victim fell into the hands of “red bandits” and was shot when he was caught writing about them in his notebook. Although mistaken, the missionaries said, the letter appeared to be gen- uine. Chinese authorities insisted it was a hoax. —_— Hearst Sails for U. 8.

(Text of speech on Page A-8.) By the Assoctated Press. NEW YORK, October 28 —Standing | near the base of Bartholdi’s famous Statue of Liberty, President Roosevelt today praised the Nation's settlers for their love of freedom and said “we shall continue to build an even better | home for liberty.” On the 50th anniversary of the bea- con which France gave to America Mr. Roosevelt declared that each new generation “must carry forward Amer- ican freedom and American peace by | making them living facts in a living present.” Described as a “rededication” of the statue to the ideals of freedom, the ceremony attracted a number of men well known in public life. Andre de Laboulaye, French Ambassader and grandson of Edouard de Laboulaye, French historian who proposed the statue originally, was a guest of honor. Ickes Also Speaks. Mayor La Guardia acted as chair- | man and Secretary Ickes made a| speech, declaring: “The significance | | and importance of an unfailing beacon |light of liberty cannot be over- emphasized at a time when at many points of the horizon one can see inimical sparks that threaten to de- stroy much of the progress gained by mankind at so great a cost and sac- rifice.” Ickes, as P W. A. chief, also said: “The lady of uplifted light has been made ready for this anniversary cele- bration as the result of the interest of the Federal Public Works Adminis- tration, which provided the means by which it was given a complete refurbishing.” In a speech described by the White House in advance as non-political, Mr. Roosevelt declared that the dis- covery of Ameriea was “mankind’s second chance—a chance to create a new world after he had almost spoiled an old one.” “For over three centuries,” he said, “a steady stream of men, women and children followed the beacon of lib- erty which this light symbolizes. They brought to us strength and moral fiber developed in a civilization cen?® turies old but fired anew by the dream of a better life in America.” Speaking earlier at the corner stone laying for a P. W. A.-financed gym- nasium at Brooklyn College, the Chief Executive said he had seen blueprints and photographs, but now he saw the “real article” with his own eyes. Every time the Mayor of New York comes to Washington, he sgid, he “trembled” because he always wanted something and always gets it. ‘The gymnasium project, he said, was roviding needed work and imj educational facilities not only for to- day, but for years to come. Out of the depression, he said, there had come much good in addition to suffering. It had given the country an opportunity to “get better schools for the young people.” “And so I'm very keen for all these public works projects for improving LEMKE MAY CAUSE NEW DEAL TO LOSE RHODE SLAND VOTE If Union Party Gets 20,000 Ballots, Most Will Be From Roosevelt. G. 0. P. HAS FAIR SHOW OF VICTORY IN STATE Republicans Hammer on Social Security Payments to Gain ‘Workers’ Support. BY G. GOULD LINCOLN, Staft Correspondent of The Star. PROVIDENCE, October 28.—The Lemke-O'Brien Union party ticket, backed by Father Coughlin, may spill the beans for President Roosevelt in Rhode Island. If Lemke gets 20.000 votes for Presi dent in the coming election, as pre- dicted in some quarters, it is said that he will take, most of them from the Pemocratic ranks. Under these cir- cumstances, with a revival of Repub- lican sentiment favoring Landon, plus some anti-Roosevelt Democrats, the G. O. P. seems to stand a fair show to carry the State. Father Coughlin, now bitter foe of President Roosevelt, has had a very considerable following in Rhode Is- land—although some of it is believed to have slipped away in recent weeks. Indeed, Coughlin has talked in the past of carrying the State for Lemke. That is merely fantastic. But he may | cut into the Roosevelt vote to an ex- tent that will make Landon a winner. If be and his candidate get even 10,- 000 votes, it may turn the trick. Rhode ‘Island is pre-eminently an industrial State. It has one dominat- ing city, Providence, with several smaller cities. If Landon can carry this State, and there is reason to be- lieve he may, the question arises, why will he not prove much more success- ful in industrial centers elsewhere than has been expected? G. 0. P. Appeals to Labor. The Republicans are carrying for- ward an intensive drive for the labor vote, with the pay roll tax which the New Deal is to impose on the workers | for old-age pensions and unemploy- ment insurance beginning next Janu- ary, as the principal point of attack. ‘The workers are flooded with data Journal and the Evening Bulletin, both Republican newspapers, are driv- ing the issue home day after day with front page editorials. Here in Rhode Island the workers will have deducted from their envelopes 2 per cent of their pay with the turn of the year. One per cent is for old-age pensions under the social security act and 1 per cent is for unemployment insur- ance under a State law in co-operation with the Federal Government. This will mean a deduction of $20 in wages for any worker who makes $1,000 a year, or $2 for every $100 which a worker makes. That is for 1937. ‘The pay roll tax is progressive, how- ever. In 1938 and 1939 the tax will be $25 per $1,000. From 1940 to 1942, inclusive, the tax will be $30; from 1943 to 1945; the tax will be $35. The next three years it will be $40 and in 1949 and thereafter the work- er will pay in to the Government $45 out of $1,000 earnings. ‘The campaign now under way, with less than a week before election, has the Democrats worried.

PROBLEMS FAMILIAR, NOMINEE DECLARES “No One Can Deliver Labor Vote to Any One Political Party,” Jersey Told. (Tezt of Landon’s Pittsburgh Speech, A-6. Text of Newark Speech, A-4.) By the Assoctated Press. NEWARK, N. J, October 28— Gov. Alf M. Landon said today that labor’s right to organize and bargain collectively “needs to be emphasized and applied,” and pledged, if elected, enforcement of “Federal laws for the protection of workers.” “For many years I have believed in the necessity for organization as a means of advancing the fortunes of the individual worker, raising his standard of living and giving him the position in the world to which he is entitled,” the Republican presidene tial nominee told a New Jersey audie ence. He spoke in the Mosque Theater during a four-hour pause of his cam- paign special, bound for New York City and the wind-up of his Eastern campaign for electoral votes. The Kansan said the Supreme Court recognizes “the right of organized labor through peaceful methods to extend organization to labor that is unorganized” and “the right of peaces ful picketing.” Generally, Landon said, “the law is on the side of those who, as work- ers, are eager to promote their own fortunes and those of their fellow workers in the same or other indus- tries.” Promises Enforcement. “It is an old story,” he continued, “that labor has the right to organize and bargain collectively through repe resentatives of its own choosing with= out interference by employers. “But, like many an old story, it needs to be emphasized and applied. When I am President I will see to it that Federal laws for the protection of workers are enforced.” Declaring “national prosperity dee pends on labor's receiving an ine creasing share of the value of every=- thing we produce,” Landon named “the father of the American Federa~ tion of Labor, Samuel Gompers,” as one of the first sponsors of tha$ principle which “has become the con= viction of every progressive citizen.™ “The labor union, as public opinion’ recognizes, is an instrument of .economic progress and national well-being,” the candidate said, add- ing: “I would like the workers of Amer« ica, whether they are organized or unorganized, to understand clearly that their problems are familiar to me; that I myself have worked with my own hands; that I have earned wages, and that I am in deep sym- pathy with the point of view of the working men and working women and eager to co-operate with them.” Again referring to Gompers, Landon said: “Labor in this country has pro- gressed by following the Gompers policy of keeping free from entangle- ment with any political group. “That policy, more than anything else, is responsible for the steady ad- vance it has madg.” The candidate told his audience that “we are witnessing in this coun- try today an effort to introduce into the camp of American labor the European system of political alliances which invariably victimize labor.” “No one can deliver the labor vote of America to any one political party,” the Kansan said, “because there are no classes in America. “Any one who claims to be able to deliver, or strives to deliver, any part of the American people to a political master is betraying the creed of America. Such a person is sowing the seeds of destruction for all of us. He (See LANDON, Page A-5.) FORMER PREMIER DIES Sir Newton Moore, 63, Headed Western Australia.
