By H. E. KNOBLAUGH (By Associated: Press) MADRID, Dec. 13.—Fascism; has sounded its battle cry in Spain and thousands of en- thusiastic youths, no longer re- stricted to furtive meetings, are trooping openly under banners asking abolition of the parlia- mentary system, signalled the discarding of the cloak of secrecy which hitherto had shrouded the activities. The triumvirate of chieftains; headed by Jose Antonio de Rivera, they have high hopes of implant- ing a dictatorship by the spring of 1935, Monarchists Join Movement > “{ Their organization, they ex-j i plain, is not designed to be mon. archical. But neither is it anti- monarchical and it is well known that ‘many of the youths embrac- ing» the movement are adherents of ex-King Alfonso. The order claims 100,000 mem- bers and is registered publicly as the F. E. (Falange Espanola) or “Spanish Phalanx.” Its members wear blue. shirts and symbols formed of crossed arrows. The rank and file display armbands showing seven of these darts, all pointing upward, clutched by “a closed fist. Variations of this em- blem are worn by. officers. Violently opposed to the fascists ate the “Escamots,” a militant body of young Catalonians claim- ing 10,000 members. They re- cently staged a demonstration in Barcelona garbed in green shirts, shorts, long woolen stockings and white shoes. “A typically Spanish fascism” is the aim of the de Rivera clan. They do not want to give the state the importance it holds un- der Mussolini and they are op- posed to the anti-Semitic policies) -of Germany’s nazis. De Rivera ‘Is Spark Plug The ruling triumvirate consists of young de Rivera, lawyer, writer, fiery orator, comparatively ; few of whose 31 years have been| occupied with politics; Alfonso Garcia Valdecasas, a former} deputy and professor of civil law at the University of Granada, andj Julio Ruiz de Alda, chiefly famed for having served as navigator in the plane “Plus Ultra” with! Ramon Franco on the _latter’s} westward trans-Atlantic flight. Of the three, de Rivera is the| chief inspiration behind the pha- lanx. Although it would be im- politic for him to admit it for pub-} | lication, his close friends say it is’ no secret he aspires to head a Spanish fascist’ state. In his address at the first public meeting of the fascists in Spain, de Rivera declaimed: “We have raised our banner; and will defend it with our lives. We-rhaveno_ political program. but are resolved to bring justice and true Jiberty to ‘Spain. Wey will not hesitate to resort to vio- lence if:violence be necessary.” In @ subsequent interview the} formér dictator’s son said he felt} certain young Spaniards of ad-| vanced ideals were behind the} movément 100 per cent, and that} by the spring of 1935 fascism will have reached its goal. “Fascist leaders will,” he said,! “actively pursue their progtam| both inside and outside parlia-| ment.

Unanimous approval of the site was given by a number of deeply interested citizens last night who assembled at the chamber of commerce rooms to ‘hear Dr. Robert O.

In his discourse the doctor ex- to 3 of the approaches to the building and surroundings, and suggested that an appeal be made to the Clyde-Mallory S. 8.
