HANLTON EGS IETALINGC0P. Looks for Party’s Emer- gence From Defeat in Con- gress Elections in '38. B the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, November 10.—Re- publican Chairman John D. M. Ham- {lton said yesterday he would begin work immediately to “revitalize” the Republican party for the congressional election of 1938. He predicted that the party would emerge from its defeat in last Tues- day's election with greater strength in the next few years than it has had since the defeat of Herbert Hoover in 1932, “I'm not going to sit around and wait until a few months before the next election to start to work,” he told reporters. “I think that from an organization standpoint we are a lot better off despite our defeat than we have been in many years. Never has there been a spirit among the workers such as there was when we went to bat in this election. Of course, the whole thing went far beyond any party lines, It was the American people voling affirmation of the policles of President Roosevelt.” Hamilton spent the day conferring with party leaders on finances. After the conferences he sald the expenses of the Republican campaign were well over the $3.300,000 reported by the Democrats earlier in the day and that the deficit probably would run over £1,000,000 as against the Democratic defieit of $500.000. Exact figures would not be available for some time, he said. The Republican leader said he had no intention of resigning or of calling a meeting of the national committee in the near future. He said he had been in touch with about 90 per cent of the committeemen since the elec- tion and as far as he knew there was no demand for a meeting. One of his first moves, he an- nounced, would be a conference with Gov. Alf M. Landon some time this week, at which plans would be dis- cussed. He has not talked with Lan- don since the election. He will then g0 to Washington and establish head- quarters. Nothing definite has been decided about which of his aldes will continue on the staff, he stated. “Do you feel doubtful about the prospects for the future of the Repub- | lican party?” he was asked. “Not with 17,000,000 people voting their convictions and with more than 450,000 persons contributing money to the campaign,” Hamilton replied quickly. “Of course, I can't keel over and wail against the wall when my party becomes the minority party. | Don't forget that the Democrats were in the minority for almost three-quar~ ters of a century and they finally came back with a bang.” THE WEATHER District of Columbia—Pair tonight and tomorrow; colder tonight, lowest temperature about 30 degrees; mod- erate northwest winds, diminishing by | tonight and becoming light variable tomorrow.

OFFICIALS HIDE IN CELLARS. Despair of Capital's Fate With Fee at Gates. MADRID, ‘November 10 (/). —Hud- |dled in cellars, Socialist officials | despaired of the capital's fate today | in the face of an insurgent advance | | to within 500 yards of the city proper. Artillery behind the Fascist lines along the Manzanares River showered | Madrid in repeated bombardments. Squadrons of low-flying insurgent planes blasted at government minis- tries and fortifications. The military drive brought the at- tackers near the Angel Gate and Toledo Bridge as Socialist militiamen | | were forced to retreat into the capi- tal's streets. (At Seville Gen. Gonzmalo Queipo de Llano, one of the insurgent high eom- mand, declared “the Fascist troops will | enter Madrid when the command is | given.” 4 (“Our troops occupy the Manzanares Bridges,” the officer asserted in a broadcast received in Paris. “The river front s ours. The resistance is in- considerable—even less than antici- | pated.”) | The spearhead of the insurgent ad- | vance pushed northeast along the| Madrid-Toledo highway, through oit- lying Carabanchel Bajo, and into the city limits territory around the To- | ledo Bridge. Acroes the river, clouds of bomb smoke hung over the royal palace and spread through the spaclous gar- | dens close to the river banks. Insur- gent gunners sent shells crashing into | the city’ central district, driving terri- fled residents to cover and disrupting business. ‘The bombardment destroyed many light and telephone lines. In many sections the city was dark during the | night, On other thoroughfares only | solitary street cars recalled the capi- tal's normal, everyday life before the siege began. | On the southeast the Fascist high command ordered fresh aerial and artillery bombardments to push their lines closer to the city's entrances from Vallecas and Villaverde. From concealed positions inside the city, insurgent snipers carried on a shifting gun battle with Socialist guards. Government anti-aircraft batteries sought vainly to stave off the Fascist without clipping the wings of the circling planes. Three government planes launched a counter-attack against insurgent forces near Villaverde, with only slight damage inflicted by their ef- forts. Loaded Rifies Thrown Away. Bocialist troops, scurrying into the city proper under attacking fire, tossed loaded rifies away in their fiight. Clothing and stores of bread were left behind in the disorderly rush to safety. Bodies lay along roads in the sub- In the city, carts carried other corpses to morgues. Unexploded live shells were being dug out of building walls near the Madrid telephone building.

BOSTON, November 10.—Federal Judge George 8, Sweeney set tomorrow noon as the time for filing of briefs in & test case of the social security act. George P. Davis of Waltham, s stockholder -of the Boston & Maine Rallroad, sought an injunction yester- day against payment of social security taxes. He charged the act was un- constitutional. Judge Sweeney delayed action, how- ever, when Charles E. Wysanski, spe- cis] hssistant 1o the United States At- torney General, pointed out the Gov- ernment was interested in the suit and would like to intervene. ‘The Government also asked that De- cember 15 be set for & hearing on the merits of the case. A similar suit, filed by Alfred L. Pish of Brookline, & | stockholder in the Boston & Albany Railroad, was dismissed. The Davis suit, similar to other suits filed in Pederal and State courts in Massachusetts, indirectly attacks the Massachusetts unemployment compen- sation law, which is dependent upon the Federal act. United States Attorney Prancis J. W. Ford sald the Davis suit was the first real test of the social security law and might be the first to reach the United States Supreme Court. Saved From Prison of Gold. ‘While Reuben Stokes, a miner, was at work in & mine at Kalgoorlie, West- ern Australia, he was buried by an avalanche of gold ore.

Te Aveid ‘Armed Conflict. By the tentative plan, the 21 repub- | lics would set up & permanent “Con- | uitative Committee” which would collaborate on ways and means of | avoiding armed conflict.” The com- | mittee would be authorized to exert pressure for an amicable settlement in event of threatened hostilities. By agreement to defer any conflict | until a formal declaration of war or, | alternatively, an’ ultimatum with a | conditional deciaration of hostilities, | had been issued, the proposed pact would provide & longer “breathing | spell” for conciliation.

Moot America, on the threshold of becoming the leading musical nation of the world, as envisioned by Bfrem Kurts, musical director -of the Ballet Russe de Monte Oarlo. Kurts, Russian born, with 13 years® experience in Germany, says there's no doubt about it. The United States already has the best orchestras in the world and is on the doorstep of su- periatives in other musical lines, “Every time I come back to this country I hear of new orchestras— new intersst. in muasic.” he said yes- terdsy, between rehearsals with the National Symphopy Orchestrs, and catching a train back to Philadelphia for & 3 o'clock rehesrsal and & 7 o'clock performance. Symphoni¢ mu- sic for the Russian Ballet, to be pre- sented here Wednesday dnd Thurs- day, will be provided for the firat time in s Washington performance by the National Symphony Orchestra, with its own direstor, Hans Kindier, directing two numbers, Blecting to talk of why all Eus ropean musicians try for appearances in this country—better pay, bigger opportunities and happler legislation from the point of view of the for- eign performer, are some of the rea- sons. Kurts brushed aside personal questions. Yes, of course, traveling as the Ballet’ Russe Company must do in America to fill its widely separated ments is arduous. “But the response is so good.” Kurtz said, “one forgets being tired the enthusiasm of his reception.” in| 3 EFREM KURTZ. —_——— 3 T who 15 36, has been with Ballet Russe since 1932, Prior to that he was permanent. - conductor of the Stutt- gart Philharmonic® Qrchestrs and guest conductor of the Berlin Phil- nu-ma}: ‘The Natlonal Symphony Orchestra, | with which he was to rehearse again | today, 18 “yety, very good,” he said. | ‘The musiclans respond very quickly.

Sanderi was convicted yesterday of second-degree murder in connection with the August 17, 1929, killing of George McCleary, Baltimore truck | driver, on the Annapolis Boulevard | near here. The jury, which deliberated an hour and 30 minutes, recommended “extreme mercy.” Sanders, who said he had been| wounded and gassed during the war, | tted having killed McCleary. He testil yesterday and told of the several occasions late at night and that he had come here on the day of the killing to talk to him about it. « & McCleary, wouldn't let mg Sanders sald; “I intended to ask him for an excuse for being at my' home. He talked so fast I couldn’t say anything. He was too cordial. * « 1.
