I flag "When the Canarias sailors came aboard they ran the Spanish flag I up the foremast and left the Brit I ish flag astern." Madrid may fall because of the loss of the steamer, Spanish government spokesmen Intimated today. One government authority said that the loss of the vessel, which I was captured yesterday by the nationalist cruiser Calfarias, I "would make a big difference in the loyalists' chances." The ship, he said, carried "exactly the mai serial on which we were relying for an offensive to clear Madrid.” Making no secret of their consternation. the loyalist spokesmen, asking tltat their names be withheld, said that of the varied cargo ' of war supplies, the government I most urgently needed the American airplanes and machine guns. —o — RECATUR RESIDENTS (CONTINUED FROM I»A.QE CTTB) rare. University geologists said last night's tremors probably were related io those which caused slin, I lar fright and little damage in six states March 2. They said it was im|M>ssible to determine with- , out extensive checking whether they had any connection with the i shocks which jarred San Francisco and bay communities 24 hours earlier. Former residents of earthquake areas said tremors such us last I night's would hardly have been noticed in their home towns. But ‘ to midwesterners they were cause | for considerable anxiety and exI citement. Louisville and Chicago police 5 squads coursed the streets looking for mysterious explosions. Chicago's bomb squad was dispatched j to the north side in answer to a frightened resident's call. Residents who swamped police departments and newspapers with telephone calls report various sensations as of a major explosion 1 heavy trucks rumbling down apparently deserted streets, and bur- ; glars moving heavy furniture. Jack Reith called Chicago police to tell them it definitely was an j earthquake. "I know, becauce I'm from California." Reith told the desk sergeant. "The house just seemed to move.” In Vincennes, Ind , one caller told police he was "thrown out of I bed " Those who were still awake , reported glass pendants swayed on their chandeliers, pictures and mir I rot s moved on walls, windows and j 1 dishes rattled First to venture an explanation j was seismograph operator Lyinan | : Rawles of Fort Wayne, who said the "Detroit plane," rock strata underlying the midwest from northern Michigan to the Ohio river and from the Alleghenies to the Mississippi, had shitted. Geologists and seismograph operators at the University of Michigan, Vniversity of Chicago, and Loyola University in Chicago said they would not attempt to explain | without complete study of their < charts. Dr. Dayton Miller of Case School of Applied Science in Cleveland said there was "no I particular" fault in rock strata underlying the affected area to cause the tremor. New faults appear frequently and cause localized I I shocks, he said. The tremor of ‘ i March 2 was believed caused by uptbrnsting of a section of rock | crest in the old glacial region of i northern Ohio, Miller explained. Important clues to nature of the earthquakes are the time, number of shocks and intensity with which they are recorded on paper drums of the seismographs, it was explained The time of various Island Queen aft Sr ryj& ? rtSF * I F \ ' < vX ✓ ■‘Urn&M Chita Zaldarrlaga tP** Winner of the title.

shocks would indicate the direction of the shocks, and the intensity the distance from the center of ’he disturbance. Major cities in which the shocks were felt included Chicago. Louisville. Cincinnati, Cleveland. Detroit, and Indianapolis. Residents of Warsaw. Vincennes, and Fort Wayne, reported the shocks were more severe than those of March 2. Scores of other cities felt its effects, including Lexington, Ky. Ann Arbor, Mich., and Akron, O. Prof. Alfonse Schmidt of Loyola University and assistant junior meteorologist M. O. Swenson at I the University of Chicago reported the shocks started at 11:45 p. tn. CST. Recordings of Chicago seismographs were not distinct enough I to show exaej number of shocks. t UNION PICKETS (CpNTINUELy fJtOM PAGE ONE) sit-down strikers retained possession of these plants, guarding the gates and refusing entrance to all but union men.

Representatives of the United Automobile Workers union and the company will meet in Detroit tomorrow to continue their conferences on the union's minimum wage demands. I Robert C. Travis, V. A.

George C. Paterson, manager of the Fisher plant, said he believed the workers had been unwilling to wait for a wage adjustment "promised Io be announced this week.” After a conference with Chevrolet officials, Roy Reuther, union I organizer, said the company had agreed to reinstate 12 union members who. he charged, had been dismissed for union activity.

ROOSEVLT WILL (CONTINUED FROM VAOE ONE) critical of administration methods in the court contest. There is eviI dance of resentment against aetiv- . ity of cabinet officer. Ceu. William 21. King, D., Utah, aid a resolution hud boon drafted 1 for possible submission to the senate to "prohibit prupugaiida speeches." But the udminlstration ' machine moved smoothly along its speaking schedule. Postmaster General James A. Farley already J was on his way to discuss party 1 loyalty in Chapel Hill, N. C„ this afternoon a a prelude to Mr. Roosevelt's chat tonight. New deal legislative leaders responsible for guiding the court reorganization bill to enactment depended heavily today upon the president's radio effectiveness to I offset influence of the Democratic deserters. They claimed both privately and publicly that a snap vote in the senate now would give the president's bill a majority. But reports of possible compromise do i not subside. There U cautious acknowledgement among some well-inforflled : legislators that the combination of i chance and political combat may . modify the Roosevelt reorgunizal tion bill. This idea rests on the possibility of Supreme Court vacancies through retirement or otherwise during the several months likely to elapse before a senate vote on the president’s bill. Capitol Hill strategists are agreed, how- ! ever, that the proper immediate I administration strategy is to reject I all compromise proposals in the | hope none will be necessary when j the showdown vote impends. The wrenching effect of Supreme I Court controversy on Democratic party lines is more notable now through informal nomination of Sen. Burton E. Wheeler, a Demo- ' crat, to lead the senate opposition to Mr. Roosevelt's bill. Wheeler will be the first anti-adininistra- | tion witness before the senate judiciary committee which tomorrow will begin open hearings on the , court program. Administration witnesses will be heard first, led by Attorney General Homer S. - Cummings. Mr. Roosevelt's public intervention in the court dispute was judged by administration opponents today to mean that the contest was proving more difficult than the White House expected when the judiciary reorganization message was sent to congress Feb. 5.
