A—2 »» SOVIET AID STIRS NEW WAR FEARS Moscow’s Help to Reds in Madrid May Provoke Italy, Germany. BY CONSTANTINE BROWN. According to confidential dispatches ! received in Washington this morning, the “return to life” of the Spanish loyalist troops, which have undertaken the counter offensive against Gen. Franco's Fascist army, is likely to pre- cipitate a crisis in Europe. These dispatches indicate that the Madrid government forces have been able to show some fight because they have been considerably strengthened by tanks, airplanes and officers of the | regular Soviet Army. | It is indicated that the indictment of Russia by the Italian Ambassador | in London, Dino Grandi, charging in- terference in the Spanish affairs, was preparatory to the developments of to- day. Grandi accused the Soviets last Thursday of having broken the neu- trality pledge by shipping to Spain a large quantity of war Grandi's indictment was strong, be- cause through Italian secret service | men the Ambassador had a detailed account of every tank, every airplane and every machine gun which had been sent from Odessa to Valencia and Ba: celona in ships flying the U. S. S. R. flag. ‘The counter offensive launched by the Madrid troops yesterday con- firmed fully the statements of the Italian Ambassador in London. ‘The French and the British govern- ment are worried now, lest the Ger- man and the Italian governments henceforth feel themselves free to take any action they may deem | necessary to “restablish” the situa- tion. | It is known that the majority of | the Italian submarines are at preseny | @ncentrated in Cardinia.

Franco's army on the Madrid-Aranjuez and Madrid- Zoledo roads south of the capital. (More than 110 modern tanks and | fnany new war planes, both observa- | fion and bombing craft, the reports eaid, were based at Alicante and Albi- | Cete) = The war ministry in Madrid posted Bulletins which claimed bombing by overnment squadrons annihilated | Fascist convoys in a wide area south | and southwest of Madrid at Toledo, | Navalcarnero, Santa Cruze del Ret. amar and south of Grinon. The communique said a Fascist Bomber was downed in the territory between Illescas and Aranjuez, where | fovernment forces recaptured the railway station at Sesena. “ On the front northwest of the cap- ital, it said, Fascist artillery main- tained a daily rain of shells on Cruz Verde and Santa Maria de la Alameda. | Enthusiasm born of the hammering | government drive was reflected in | Madrid where Socialist aircraft made their first appearance in weeks.

It is to be noted also that the power and authority to fix a minimum price for class II milk is delegated to the Maryland and Vir- ginia Milk Producers Association. A standing offer of this agency for class II milk regulates the price of this milk.” Luhring ruled that through the agreement and order Secretary Wal- lace compels the plaintiffs “to ac- cept the terms of the order.if they would dispose of their milk in the District of Columbia area, and thus deprives them of the right to freely contract for the sale of their product.” Masquerade Party Set.

CHANGE PROPOSED IN BONDING LAW Legislation Planned to Pre- vent Recurrence of Re- puted Racket. The Prince Georges County grand jury has announced its in- tention of making a thorough in- vestigation of charges being pre- sented to it by the Keystone Automobile Club involving the wholesale arrest of Washingion motorists, victims of an alleged bonding-fining racket. Washington motorists, victims of the alleged racket, are re- quested to communicate with the club’s attorney, Harvey L. Cobb, 1125 National Press Building, National 8608 or National 8816. B » Staft Correspondent ot The Star UPPER MARLBORO, Md., October 30.—To aid in preventing any recur- rence of alleged police-bonding racket- eering, legislation will be introduced at the January session of the Mary- land State Legislature to reduce the present bond premium in motor cases | and to change the State law permit- ting the committing magistrate to set the amount of bond. These facts were disclosed late yes- terday by prominent Prince Georges County pcliticians. The present bond premium of 10 per cent for any bond less than $1,000 | would be cut down to 24 per cent| under the proposed legisiation, it was authoritatively stated. The present premium of 5 per cent for $1,000 bonds or over would stand, it was said. A change also will be proposed in the State law which calls for & min- imum bond of $1,000 in cases of driving over 60 miles per hour and driving while drunk, it was declared. ‘The proposed change would call for a minimum bond of $100 on these charges, with discretion in the bond setting to be left to the committing magistrate. Meantime county residents specu- Iated as to who would be selected by State Attorney Alan Bowie “some time the first of next week” to assist him in the investigation and pos- sible prosecution of any guilty par- ticipants in the racket. The Keystone Automobile Club has CABINET OFFICIALS MAKEVOTING PLAN Most of Members Arrange to Cast Ballots in Person. BY the Associated Press. Following the example of their chief, most members of President Roosevelt's cabinet were planning to- day to cast votes in person next Tues~ day at their home polls. As in the 1932 election, President and Mrs. Roosevelt will vote in Hyde Park. Possibly as many as seven mem- bers of the cabinet, and their wives, will vote at home. Others, with the exception of Secretary Roper, intend to cast absentee ballots. Roper, the Commerce Department said, had made no announcement, but Mrs. Roper said that because of 35 years’ residence in the District of Columbia she believed she and her husband had lost State citizenship in South Carolina and probably would not try to vote. Becretary Wallace, the Agriculture | Department said, would try to vote in advance at Des Moines, where he was today. Otherwise, he and Mrs, Wallace might remain in Iowa until after the election. Secretary and Mrs. Morgenthau ‘phnned to leave tomorrow for their | country home at Fishkill, N. Y., to vote in person. Attorney General Cummings and Mrs. Cummings expect to vote at their home in Connecticut and then prob- ably take a vacation at Pinehurst, N. C. | Secretary Perkins is on an exten- | sive campaign speaking tour, at the conclusion of which she was expected to go to her home in New York City for the election. Secretary of War Woodring was re- ported to be “undecided” but contem- plating an airplane trip to his home precinct, in Neodesha, Kans. The yeoman campaign speaker, Sec- retary Ickes, was expected by his asso- ciates at the Interior Department to return to his home in Illinois to vote “unless he already had mailed his | ! ballot.” | Secretary and Mrs. Cordell Hull were reported to have voted absentee ballots and mailed them to Tennessee yesterday, and it was expected the postman likewise would deliver the votes of the Secretary of the Navy and Spanish Socialist | In the ensuing hullabaloo, Papa was forced to retreat to the outside of the establishment. * x ok x | victimized.

'HE present crop of local pan- handlers has some members who can lay claim to being 100 per cent opportunists, if nothing else. ‘Twice within the past week a Wash- ingtonian of benign countenance has been approached by one of the mooch- ing gentry, who explained that he has been reduced to his present plight because the Capital Transit Co. put on one-man cars, and I lost my job.” | Shocked questioning in the first in- | stance disclosed that the petitioner | was not quite certain where car barns are located.

Accompanied by his young son, the Senator, who also practices law, inter- viewed a client on a Maryland farm who is to go to trial soon in a slaying case. Seeking to learn whether the man could plead self-defense, Senator Sasscer asked: “Was the other fellow a big man or a little man?” The reply, which caused the “states- man” to expand to his full dignity before the admiring eyes of his son, WAS: “Oh, he was a great big fellow like you are!” POSITIONS OPEN The Civil Service Commission an- nounced today in six classes of positions for which applications will be received until November 23.

CLARK HITS ATTACK ON SOCIAL SECURITY Charges G. 0. P. Seeks to Compel Employes to Vote Against “Best Interests.” By the Associated Press. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., October 30. —Senator Bennett Champ Clark, | Democrat, of Missouri, championed the social security act last night in & campaign address in which he charged the Republican National Committee with responsibility for what he said were “efforts to compel employes to vote against their best interests.” H “The act is not perfect. No one ever claimed that it was” Clark said, recalling he himself had unsuccess- fully proposed an amendment. ‘It involves what must necessarily be technical legislation and the setting up of complicated machinery on a vast subject. Experience - will un- doubtedly show needs for change and for the perfection of the methods set up.” He asserted the Republican Na- tional Committee had set a “new low” in politics by sponsoring the actions of “certain employers in putting into pay envelcpes misleading statements. “The most amazing part of this twelfth-hour, underhanded pay en- velope ‘propagands,” Clark said, “is the covert attack of Chairman John Hamilton (of the Republican National Committee) on some of the most re- spected and best beloved members of his own party. * * * “Some three out of four of the publican members of House voted for the social security act. * * * In Left: Rescuers place Lloyd Rawson on a crude stretcher to carry him over a rocky tmil. to an ambulance, after lowering him from a ledge of the Wasatch Range near Salt Lake City.
