iSPAIN REPORTS FIERCE BATTLE Bloody Hand To Hand Fighting Is Reported In Civil War Madrid. Aug. 16. —(U.R) —Sanguinary hand to hand fighting along the Santander front was reported in messages today. Rebel forces, it was said, lost more than a thousand men in a two and a half mile advance. The attacking force, the message said, were mowed down like wheat ’ by defending government troops. Apparently the onset was en- | couraged by some slight successes ! the rebels achieved while attempting to storm government positions near Virga. In the fighting loyalists forces waited for the rebel advance and | withheld their fire until the enemy i was 125 feet distant. Then the loyalists loosed a terrific hail of machine gun fire, sowing the field with dead, the advices reported. Platoon after platoon wavered and fell under the withering blast, the advices continued. The enemy then resorted to a renewal of artillery and airplane bombardment, reforming for a second attack which came shortly. This was likewise repulsed by hand i grenades and machine guns. Overhead siihultaneously three I airplane dogfights were taking! ! place. Government aviators re- ' portedly shot down two rebel trimotored ships. Terrific intensity of tne attack; caused a slight rectification in the | government positions but the fight-1 ing tactics remain unchanged. ARRIVALS Mr. and Mre.

PLANE CRASHES BRING ACTION I State Opens Drive Against Unlicensed Pilots, Planes Indianapolis, Aug. 16. — (U.R) — State authorities today opened a drive against unlicensed pilots and unlicensed airplanes following tlie death of one passenger and serious injuries to five others in two plane crashes in the state over the week end. William Bowman, 22, of Danville, 111., was killed yesterday when a plane in which he was a passenger crashed after developing motor trouble near Rockville. Earl Dallas Bowman. 19, brother of the victim, and Elmo Parker, 30. Rockville, pilot of the ship, were injured seriously. Witnesses said the plane failed to level off for a landing apparently after motor trouble. Tthree other persons were injured, two critically, in a second crash near Logansport. The plane piloted by C. T. Smith, an unlicensed pilot, plunged 300 feet into a cornfield after going into a spin while attempting to land. Harold Wade, 25, and Dale Reppert, 29, passengers, were taken to Cass county hospital where physicians reported their condition serious. Smith also was injured seriously. All three men were employed at the Logansport state hospital. Everett Ryker, 33, Linden, was the first person arrested in the state-wide drive under a 1929 Indi-, ana statute prohibiting unlicensed pilots from flying until they have conformed to federal regulations. Ryker, placed in the Hendricks jail at Danville, was held on charges of flying an unlicensed plane and failure to have a pilot’s license. He had been taking passengers for rides at cut-rate prices, using a 25-acre clover field as a landing place. Authorities also investigated activities of Russel Stair, of Mulberry, another pilot taking passengers on flights from the same field. He was not arrested when it was learned he was a registered pilot and the plane was licensed in accordance with Indiana law and United States deprtment of commerce requirements. o SHE ASKS POLICE GUARD FOR ATTACK ON NEIGHBORS Tulsa —(UP) — An unidentified — - .
