A—2Z ¥¥% SANTANDER FACES FIVE-WAY ATTACK Insurgent Tacticians Predict Biscayan Capital’s Fall in Week. BACKGROUND— Gen. Francisco Franco, check- mated by Loyalist militiamen in aftack on Madrid, has turned to clean up few points still held by government forces in2 north in order to throw all his troops against besieged Spanish capital. Mean- while his troops in Eastern Spain attempt to cut the Madrid-Valen- cia Railroad line, last remaining link of capital with Eastern sea- coast. By the Assoclated Press. HENDAYE, Franco-Spanish Fron- tier, August 17.—Generalissimo Fran- cisco Franco's legions lunged against the tottering defenses of Santander from five directions today. Insurgent tacticians predicted the fall of the Biscayan capital within a week. One powerful column, which ripped open & path with hand grenades and bayonets, was reported to have routed Spanish government troops from Escudo Pass, Santander's last moun- tain stronghold on the south, and to be within 30 miles of its coastal objective. A dispatch from the insurgent side #did seven government battalions had been trapped by Franco's fast moving offensive and that the number of government dead had reached the thousands. The insurgent command claimed the government's northern defense had been demoralized. Reinosa Taken Yesterday. ‘The important manufacturing cen- ter of Reinosa, about 30 miles south and slightly west of Santander in the heart of rich mineral lands, was cap- tured by one insurgent column yes- terday. A government report, while not mentioning Reinosa specifically, said & “slight retreat” had been carried out because of “the important num- ber of war elements which the enemy brought into use." These “elements” included one of the heaviest aerial attacks of the 13-months-old civil war. Government machine gunners and riflemen tried to hold Reinosa with 8 house-to-house defense, but finally were overpowered and put to flight by the superior strength of the attack- ing force. The insurgent communique said the occupation of Reinosa gave Franco control of a large factory known as the “constructora naval,” manufactur- ing marine engines, naval equipment and munitions. 30 Miles From Santander. ‘The swift thrust of another column along the Palencia-Burgos road brought the insurgent advance guard within 30 miles of Santander. More than 20 villages were captured by the insurgents yesterday. Foreign legionnaires under Franco's banners were described as largely re- sponsible for ‘“the complete defeat of the enemy.” Residents of occupied villages gave Joyous welcomes to the conquering insurgents, Franco's communique said. The civil population of Reinosa normally 15,000, had been reduced sharply by evacuation recently. Besides two columns driving north- ward toward Santander, three other Washington Wayside Tales SLIGHT DELAY.

It was a lumber truck and the lum- ber went soaring off into space, landed on the car tracks. Street car motor- men climbed down, surveyed the sit- uation, decided that whether it was legal or not, there was but one thing to do. One motorman climbed up on the truck. Another, assisted by the machine’s driver, handed the lumber up to him piece by piece. He stacked it in place, climbed down again and resumed his place at the controls of his tram, clanging the bell gayly to remind himself that you can never tell what will happen if you arise in the morning, go down and take a street car out for a spin in the big city. * % ok X DISOBEDIENCE.

SHORTAGE. EMEMBER the days when, if you were packing up your earthly possessions for shipping or storage, you could step down to the corner store and get two or three large wooden boxes, probably for nothing?

Even the big mail-order houses will give you the old “Sorry, no boxes.” Friend of ours up ageinst this drought recently spent about a dollar in making telephone calls, finally looked in the classified section of the | telephone directory.

Rodri- guez of the Phillipine Islands. Seven Cubans also were evacuated on the Kane, Loyalists Urged to Attack. MADRID, August 17 (#)—Party organs urged the Spanish government today to attack on all fronts to re- lieve the insurgent pressure on San- tander. “Our comrades at Santander now &re better equipped to meet the enemy offensive than when the insurgents launched their attack on Balbao,” one newspaper said. Gen. Llano Attacks France. GIBRALTAR, August 17 (#).—Gen. Gonzalo Queipo de Llano, southern commander of the insurgent armies, declared today that “France’s day of reckoning is not far off” in a radio at- tack against France as the enemy of Bpanish interests. The “radio general” asserted in the broadcast from Salamanca that France “has always been a bad neigh- bor and always acted against Spanish interests.” Spanish Ship Torpedoed. ALGIERS, August 17 (#)—The cap- tain of the Spanish steamer Conde de Abasolo said today his ship had been torpedoed by an Italian destroyer off the Italian island of Pantelleria, half ‘way between Sicily and Tunisia in the Mediterranean. Several members of the crew were killed and 17 others are still missing, he declared. The captain and 23 members of the crew were picked up by the British steamer City of Wel- lington and landed here today. Say It With Music.

EARBY Maryland weekly news- paper came out this week with & story anent “the strange paradox beneath the much-publicized Mount Rainier, Md, ticket-fixing contro- versy.” The one, you remember, where a police officer resigned after refus- ing the Mayor’s request to fix a ticket given a councilman’s friend. Well, we won't get into that angle, but the weekly that used the story happens to have its printing done in Washington. Reporter who wrote the “paradox” piece brought it in to the printer, came out to find a motor cycle policeman sitting around looking glumly at his car. “You're in a ‘no-parking’ mone” 8aid the policeman. “Follow me down to the Traffic Bureau.” They went down, the reporter mus- ing upon the strange whims of fate, or why the heck he had to come in town anyway. At the Traffic Bureau he was kept standing around for a While, then released at no cost, with no charge placed against him. Didn’t talk himself out of it, either. Just said, “Thank you,” and went home, still brimming with paradoxes. * K X AGE LIMIT. A Mrs. Jacobs, possibly the only woman in Washington to describe herself as “a middle-aged house- wife,” as she does in a letter at hand, tells us of an incident that occurred when she was visiting a nearby beach last week. She wus floating around on an inner-tube when a youngster came up to her, rather shyly. “May I hang onto the tube?” he said. She said, “Sure,” and he began pushing the tube about, talking all the while. Finally he blurted out: “I can’t swim.” “How old are you?” Mrs. Jacobs asked. “Siz,” he said. Seemed to be thinking about something. “How old are you?” he said finally. And, before he had an answer, “Anyhow, you're old enough to know how to swim, bren’t you?” He got what he wanted. Spent a fine morning playing with the tube all by himself. — o JUSTICES WARNED ST. LOUIS, August 17 (#).—So- called “marrying justices” in St. Louls County were threatened tgday with loss of their offices by Judge William E. Lauer, who said he had asked the county counselor if the 23 justices of the peace could be ousted for their “diabolical practice” of advertising for marriage prospects. Judge Lauer said it in “the best interests of the people” to stop en- couraging Illinois residents to marry in Missouri and escape the stricter laws of Nllinots. THE EVENING STAR, STAFFIDEQUAT, SAYS PARDLEUNT Board, in Report, Declares Freed Prisoners Denied Proper Supervision. Enlargement of the District parole machinery was urged today by the Board of Indeterminate Sentence and Parole, which charged, in its annual report, that many young men con- fined at the Lorton Reformatory “never have had a reasonable oppor- tunity to become good citizens.” Members of the board, Wilbur La Roe, jr.; Emmett J. Scott and Frank R. Jelleff, said parole often must be denied young prisoners because pov- erty, poor home conditions or lack of jobs made parole unsafe. The board asks an increase in its staff. The report, for the last fiscal year, shows prisoners who were paroled had & better record after confinement than those denied parole but released at the end of their “short” terms. 368 Under Supervision. ‘The board had 368 parolees under supervision in the last year. Paroles were revoked in 26 cases, or T per cent. Eleven of the men, or 2.9 per cent, committed new crimes and the other 15 revocations were for minor offenses and violations of board rules. ‘The board also had supervision over 659 men ‘“conditionally released” at the end of their short terms, who re- mained under the board's jurisdiction until the end of their maximum terms. Of this group 78, or nearly 12 per cent, had their releases revoked, including 25 who were accused of serious new crimes. “About the best that can be said of our work with this group is that the little supervision we are able to give is better than none,” the board said. “‘Our staff is still inadequate,” it con- tinued. “We have only two field offi- cers to supervise 368 parolees, not to speak of the large additional number of conditional releases. The inadequacy of our staff creates a serious situation and one that demands correction in the interest of assuring adequate protec- tion to the public. Cost Was $14,000. “The total cost of the parole work last year was approximately $14,000, an average of about $38 per parolee under suprevision and an average of about $13.80 if the conditional releeses are included. It is said the cost is about a dollar a day to keep a man at the reformatory. If, therefore, 368 men had not been paroled, the cost to the District of keeping them would have been $134,320 instead of $14,000. These figures would seem to justify a more adequate parole staff. “The mixture of first offenders with hardened criminals at Lorton is a serious handicap to our work and is to be condemned from every viewpoint. “Another and even more serious handicap is extreme poverty and in- adequate homes, especially among the colored. Effective rehabilitation is im- possible in the midst of wretchedness and misery. Such conditions prevail- ing among a substantial part of our population are not only a prolific cause of crime, but a serious handicap | to successful parole work. “Too often we are obliged to keep | young men incarcerated whom we could safely parole if & decent home and job were available. There is a tendency to deal with the manifesta- tions of crime and with the treat- ment of criminals instead of striking at the underlying causes. Many of the young men at Lorton have never had a reasonable opportunity to be- come good citizens.” . 8,000-MILE FLIGHT McNutt's Aide, Trial Witness, to Return to Manila.

By the Associated Press. BUENOS AIR] August 17.—Revo- lutionary communiques‘from Asuncion and statements by Paraguayans in exile here today attributed the down- fall of Paraguay's provisional President, Col. Rafael Pranco, to a displeased army. Most of the causes were linked with the now stalemated Chaco War be- tween the impoverished inland re- public and Bolivia. An army-navy coup last Friday forced resignation of the Franco cabi- net. completed by appointment of Dr. Felix Palva, dean of the University Law School, to succeed Franco. Army Diseatisfied, Among the causes for the govern- mental switch were the army’s dis- satisfaction over neutral military regu- | lations governing the military status of the Western Chaco, its displeasure over Franco's treatment of Gen. Jose | Felix Estigarribia and its belief that Franco was not pushing projected agri- | cultural and social reforms. Franco really began to slip last Jan- uary when the Uruguay conference of | neutrals issued regulations for super- vision of the zone separating military lines in the Western Chaco. Paraguay was requested to withdraw troops for several miles in one section, but when Franco tried to comply, the men re- fused, stating they would not give up any ground won during the long Chaco War. Dispute Has Lasted Since Then. Franco and some Paraguayan mili- tary leaders have been in dispute since that time. Several weeks ago Pranco tried to send other detachments to the Chaco from Asuncion to impose his will, but the officers refused to carry out his orders. Finally the present Chaco commander, Lieut. Col. Ramon Para- des, who is also chief of the army, sent Franco what amounted to an ultimatum. This resulted in the resignation of his cabinet, then Pranco's own with- drawal. Inasmuch as the Chaco conference has been trying for a year without success to discuss settlement, the status quo was considered likely to last possibly for years. FARLEY URGES PROMPT AND SAFE MAIL DELIVERY Postmasters Told Their “First Duty Is to See That the Mails Are Safeguarded.” Making no reference to the recent refusal to deliver mail into strike- bound Ohio steel plants, Postmaster General Farley today told North and Bouth Caroline postmasters their “first duty is to see thai the mails are safeguarded, the dispatches and deliveries are prompt and regular.” Farley was the principal speaker at the annual convention of the post- masters of the two States at Fayette- ville, N. C. “Regularity of service is most im- portant,” Farley said. “The depart- ment insists on performance based on rigid schedules. The public has s right to expect punctual and uni- form deliveries. Of course, there are occasional delays due to unforeseen transportation difficulties caused by storms and wrecks, but these inter- ruptions are relatively few, and un- der such conditions the public is most tolerant.” Farley also urged strict but intelli- gent economy in line with the Presi- dent’s plea for reduction in aimin- istrative expenses. —_— CORONER’S APPOINTMENT IS CONSIDERED BY NICE Governor May Reassign Officials in Baltimore in Filling Vacancy. By the Associated Press. ANNAPOLIS, August 17.—Gov. Harry W. Nice today was considering the reassignment of Baltimore City coroners in connection with an ap- pointment he will make to fill a vacancy. The Governor will appoint a coro- ner to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Dr. Thomas H. Phillips, appointed to another post in the State service. The Governor, who retuned from Tulsa, Okla., yesterday, will speak on September 8 at the rededication of Fort Frederick. He will leave for At- lantic City September 13 to attend a conference of Governors. On September 16 he will welcome visiting Governors at a banquet in Hagerstown in connection with the seventy-fifth anniversary of the Bat- tle of Antietam.

By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, August 17.—Between 250 and 300 cruise passengers aboard the Clyde Maliory liner Algonquin were “marooned” off the Statute of Liberty, in New York Harbor, today when tugboats refused to dock her. The ship, bound from Miami and Galveston, was forced to drop anchor almost within sight of its home pier and of crowds waiting to welcome the voyagers home, pending developments in a strike called by the International Longshoremen's Association. Coincidentally, officials of other lines engaged in coastwise trade reported their vessels also were being held in port by the strike. Unconfirmed reports said a general strike was in the offing as the result of a “showdown’ battle between the C. I. O. and the A. F. of L., as represented by the National Maritime Union and the International Longshoremen's As- sociation, respectively. The clash arose over a struggle for control of marine workers, with Joseph P.
