MADRID, November 12.—Insurgent armies struck viclously at Madrid's most vulnerable approach in a driving Tain today. They attacked University City, on the northwest, apparently the key to their whole advance. This section, on the city’s outskirts, is not defended by the Manzanares River, which has so far been a barrier to Madrid from the southwest. Buenaventura Dirruti, commander of Catalan shock troops, told the As- sociated Press that 2,000 additional Catalan re-enforcements would reach Madrid tomorrow and Saturday, bring- ing 6,000 fighters from that autono- mous province, who are aiding in the Madrid defense. The noted anarchist, who has re- fused military rank of any kind, said he was “well satisfied” with develop- ments. Moving up through Casa del Campo, the former game preserve #cross the river on the west, the insurgents met & violent artillery barrage. Road Fight Near Climax. Cannon roared throughout the night. Machine gun and rifle fire broke the sudden silence when the big guns ceased. The bitter struggle for the easiest road into the capital was rapidly ap- proaching a climax. The rain and low ceiling kept war planes out of action, but the rival guns kept pounding positions spotted by lightning flashes during the night. Several fires, set off by the artillery bombardment in the city, were put out by the rain, The clatter of horses’ hoofs and the tramp of thousands of feet gave evi- dence the government was pouring reinforcements into strategic points as rapidly as possible. Among many unconfirmed reports was one that a thousand insurgents had been trapped in Casa del Campo. Official sources did not bear out the Teport. ; A close observation of the sector, moreover, showed heavy fighting in | progress, with no indication the in- surgents’ rear lines had been cut.

(Story on MARITIME PROBE 10 BE EXPANDED Commission to Include East and Guif Coasts in Survey. BY the Assoclated Press. Expansion of its investigation into maritime labor conditions on the West Coast to include the East and Gulf Coasts was ordered today by the Mari- time Commission. Rear Admiral H. A. Wiley, commis- sion chairman, said Rear Admiral Harry G. Hamlet, who has been di- recting the Pacific Coast inquiry, would start back to Washington Sun- day from San Francisco, leaving Fed- eral participation in strike negotiations to Labor Department representatives, Wiley cited the new ship subsidy law’s mandate to the commission to lay down wage and personnel re- quirements and prescribe working con- ditions aboard all American ships, and sald Hamlet was returning to Wash- ington to talk over the possibility of co-ordinating into one broad investi- gation inquiries into ship labor condi- tions on the three coasts. The maritime body desired to have | detailed information regarding con- ditions on all American ships, offi- cials said, before prescribing labor regulations. After a talk with the commission, it was said, Hamlet will go to any point where his service would be most ef- fective, possibly even returning to the Pacific Coast. The commission, after failing in an | effort to procure extension of a tem- porary working agreement between ship owners and labor representatives, has confined its activities on the Pa- cific Coast largely to gathering data for use in formulating the labor standards later. The Labor Department has been largely responsible for Government policy in the actual negotiations be- tween ship owners and strikers, offi- cials said. PLAN DEMONSTRATION.

President Roosevelt will put aside motor to Greenbelt, Md., to inspect | the suburban community built there by the Resettlement Administration. On his visit to this resettlement | project, better known locally as “Tug- welltown,” Mr. Roosevelt will be ac- companied by Dr. Rexford Tugwell, Undersecretary of Agriculture and tion. Tugwell has given much personal attention to the planning and con- struction of this so-called model suburban community. The President will leave the White House after lunch tomorrow and ex- pects to be gone nearly two hours. His personal inspection of this par- | ticular community project is expected | to aid him in drawing up his plan to curtail somewhat the Resettlement Administration activities throughout the country and to put this agency under one of the permanently estab- lished departments of the Govern- ment, probably the Agriculture De- partment, May Have Major Role. ‘There is a possibility that Reset- tlement also may have a major role in a Federal farm tenant program. This series of expressions have reached the public recently: ‘Tugwell said he hoped the agency would become part of the Agriculture Department. Mr. Roosevelt said he had talked with Tugwell about farm tenancy and making the agency permanent. Secretary Wallace told a press con- ference yesterday that most activities of Resettlement were agricultural and that in “any thorough-going reor- ganization of independent and emer- gency agencies,” now being studied by executive and legislative groups, a “natural” result would place Resettle- ment in the Agriculture Department. The President today continued his minute study of the budget estimates for the next fiscal year, which he hopes to have in fairly good shape before he leaves Washington Monday night for his visit to Buenos Aires to participate in the opening of the Pan-American Conference there.

WHITE HOUSE INTEREST IS HELD SURE BARRIER Secretary Ickes Has Conference With President, Intervention Following Quickly. President Roosevelt personally joined the forces opposed to the re-establish- ment of a stockyards and meat-render- ing plant in Northeast Washington to- day as the District Commissioners, at & special board meeting, decided to withhold issuance of a permit to Adolf Gobel, Inc., pending the decision of United States District Court on a man- damus suit brought by the packing plant. The intervention of the Chief Ex- ecutive, brought about by Secretary of the Interior Ickes, was regarded today as certain to block issuance of any permit to the packing firm, and in ef- fect guaranteed that the Commission- ers would make every effort, through the courts, to prevent the paeking firm from building the plant. Ickes had a conferencé this morn- ing with the President, and it was be- lieved the proposed abattoir was dis- cussed at that time. On his way ou of the President’s office, however, Ickes declined to discuss the subject other than to say he was opposed to the issuance of the permit. It was understood the President lost little time, after having the matter de- scribed to him by Ickes, in getting in touch with the Board of Commis- sioners at the District Building. Majority Report Overridden. ‘Their action was in the nature of a rebuff to a majority report of a spe- cial committee of District officials who had recommended issuance of the permit provided the packing firm complied with certain conditions as & precaution against becoming a pub- lic nuisance. Health Officer George |C. Ruhland had headed the com- mittee. Immediately after the hearing of legal testimony bearing on the man- damus suit the Commisisoners’ meet- ing adjourned for another session with Elwood H. Sedl, corporation counsel of the District. ‘The deéision was regarded as a par- tial victory by leaders of civic interests and Federal officials who have sought all along to delay or defest the proposal to re-establish stock yards in an area where extensive park de- velopments are under way. Commissioner George E. Allen, in the absence of any formal statement issuing from the meeting, explained that legal questions involved in the controversy were the sole matter of discussion at the special board meet- ing. To Appeal if Writ Is Granted. Speculating on the action of the District Court, on which the whole case now seems to hinge, Allen indi- cated the Commissioners would take an appeal, providing the court granted the application of a writ compelling them to issue & building permit to the Gobel firm.

OF LABOR GROVS Green, Formally Replying to Lewis, Denies Charges of Conspiracy. BY JOHN C. HENRY. Labor’s cause in America continued to be a dominating topic of news to- day as factional strife grew more bit- |ter in one direction while assurances | were coming from another that politi- | cal manifestations of the movement | would proceed unabated and with a definite objective. Latest development in the con- troversial aspect was a formal reply by William Green, president of the John L. Lewis, president of the United Mine Workers, regarding charges of conspiracy directed against the former. In a letter addressed (o Lewis, Green denied the four charges di- rectly and categorically, informed the Miné Workers' president that he would be unable to meet with their Executive Board on November 18 as requested and cited his 30 years’ membership in the Mine Workers in refutation of any charges of neglecting their best in- terests. League to Continue. Meanwhile, Maj. George L. Berry, president of Labor's Non-Partisan League, in a joint press conference with Lewis and Sidney Hillman, an- nounced the league would continue in existence, with its broad objective being “the furtherance of liberalism in the United States” and its more immediate objective the election or re-election of liberal and pro-labor officials in the 1938 elections. A third development of the past 24 hours was the announced decision of the executive board of the Amalga- mated Clothing Workers of America to open & concerted drive for increased wages in that industry. The union is one of the most powerful members of the Committe for Industrial Orgame zation, which already has been a factor in forcing higher wages in the steel industry, where their organizing drive is well under way.

LONDON, November 12.—King Ed- |wnrd and a small party of friends were the guests of Mrs. Wallis Simp- son at No. 16 Cumberland terrace last evening, it was learned today while the King was at Portland inspecting units of the home fleet. ‘While a typical November-in-London rain beat down on the deserted street and its lone bobby on guard, the American divorcee entertained the Monarch and his intimates until it was time to depart for Portland, after midnight. The King went to “No. 16” after at- tending Armistice day services in Albert Hall.

Many had supposed she would visit Mr. and Mrs. Herman Rogers, friends of both the King and the former Baltimure debutante, on the riviera.
