WARSHIPS AND PLANES BOUGHT BY LOYALISTS I ' Fleet Os Planes, New War I Vessels Delivered To Loyalists i , (Copyright 1936 by I’P.) Madrid, Oct. 29.—(UR) The goverhment has received a fleet of , American airplanes and a number . of small new war vessels, reliable sources said today, and believes its fortune may have turned. The planes, fast pursuit models number somewhat more than 15, , were purchased indirectly in the United States and delivered with , the assistance of the “friendly government" which bought them for , the Madrid government. It was asserted. The new warships arrived in , Spanish ports this week. Premier Francisco Large CabalI lero. in an order which represented a complete reversal of the military situation, instructed army ' chieftains to open a general offensive on all Madrid fronts at dawn today. > Heartened by new equipment, the government took the offensive in the air and in government sources it was asserted that a series of raids covering a great area of nationalist territory had been I conducted with complete success, i These sources said that the raids , covered Talavera de la Reina, the ,! important headquarters west of Uoledo: Seville, the nationalist gsuesa) headquarters for all sontb ■ ern Spain: Caderes, the great western base. Granada in the south and an important assembling plant : for airplanes whose site was not disclosed. Five three-motored bombing planes were destroyed at Seville, it was alleged. Today the nationalists were 14>4 ’ i miles from the city at the nearest i point, on the Toledo highway to the south. Their main line ran 1 roughly southeastward from Mavalcarnero via El Alamo. Batres, ' Seranillos, Grinon and Cuhas to Torrejon de la Calzada on the To--1 ledo road. Women thronged today to places ■ of registration to offer their scr--1 vices in jobs held by men who may ' be needed at the front. All were f , listed for service, though none was 1 yet needed. Many wdmen asked '■ to be put on street car crews. Opens Debate London.

F.D.R. SLAMS VACILLATING G. 0. P. HEADS President Assails TwoFaced Promises By Republicans Harrisburg, Pa.. Oct. 29-4U.R) President Roosevelt vigorously defended tho Increase In food prices today and declared that ho know that “the American people will , not return to power those leaden who emptied the national market 1 basket." His speech delivered from the i , steps of the state cajiltol In his campaign for Pennsylvania’s 36 presidential electoral votes, con- ! tained a blistering attack on Republican leadership which, he i asserted. “still preaches the same heresy — class against class and region against region." The president spoke earlier in . the day at Wilkes Barre where he , denounced critics of the social i security act. He sajd opponents of tho plan sought to sabotage , security for the workers and to Sabotage the workers themselves , 1 "in his Harrisburg speech, the' i president cited the "market basket . campaign.” in which the Republi- ■ ■ cans have called attention to the . rise in food prices. He said they < were, in effect, telling one thing to the fanner and another to the elty dweller. "In the cities they make prom- . lies which they are careful to hide . from the farmers," he said. "In ■ the rural districts they make' promises which they are careful to hide from the city dwellers. In the cities they promise to reduce food prices for the woman who ; carries a market basket. In the counttry they promise to raise food prices for the man who grows the contents of that market-basket on l the farm." "That is a nice fairy story." the i president sa,id.

The final ward meeting will be r held tonight at 7:3(1 o'clock in the ‘ North Ward school building. The 1 speaker's li»t for the Tally will in--1 dude G. Remy Bierlv, county clerk and Arthur Voglewede. candidate for prosecuting attorney. 1 "Who is going to pay the bill?" 5 That is the main question before 1 the voters next Tuesday," stated ■ the speakers. County Auditor John ■ W. Tyndall and Arthur Voglewede, • Democratic nominee tor prosecutt ing attorney. Commenting on this before an ’ unusually large crowd in a precinct meeting. Mr. Voglewede ridiculed the opposing forces in their supposed concern over the national debt. "The national debt is 34 billion dollars, of which 20 was on hand I when Roosevelt stepped into office. Os this 34 billion, seven million was loaned to farmers and ho.me owners through the adn nis- > trative acts. Surely these can be considered as good security." Mr. Voglewede stated. , "With 126 million people in the United States, this leaves a per capita debt of only s2lis. Each person like to feel that he is worth that much to his country in pull- ■ ing out of the depression, which we were in in 1932. ‘"Mr. Roosevelt says he will balance the budget. This does not mean he will pay the debt immediately. But by reducing the tax on the average worker and placing upon the shoulders of the rich man his share of the burden this can be accomplished much more quickly. For instance, if a rich man, l such as Andrew Mellon were forced to pay. according to the RooseI velt policy of taxation, his share icon TTNtTt'n nxr ninr rrVKi 0 Knights Os Pythias Postpone Initiation The initiatory work scheduled for the Knighta of pythiae meetlug tonight has been postponed until a later date- The regular meeting, however, will open at 7:30 in the ! castle hall.
