His huge fortune, amassed through a tobacco monopoly and alleged contraband activities during the World war, has frequently been used to halt worker-movements. Arrested in 1933 for alleged "financial Irregularities ', March fled prison and prepared for the revolt. British observers estimate that he has spent more than $50,000,000 since then in hiring Moorish mercenaries and purchasing ammunition and supplies for Franco's troops. The Loyalist government has confiscated practically all of his property, but March stands to gain it all back and more if he wins hi* stupendous gamble and puts Franco into power.

FORD PLANNING i IMPROVEMENT Rouge Plant Improvement Costing 40 Million Is Announced i I Dearborn, Mic. November 13 A new Ford Motor Company Rouge' Plant expansion program, which will cost upward of $40,000,000 and j rivals in extent the company’s un-i precedented 1934-35 building pro-' gram, has just been announced. j I The new building included in the program is intended to enable the ’ ■ Ford Motor Company to maintain :in face of increasing production its I policy of manufacturing in its own 1 'plants a substantial share of all (the parts required in the manufac-. ture of Ford V-8 cars and trucks. The buildings to be erected will, ! require the purchase by Ford ofj 45.000 tons of steel. I ' Coincident with the announcement of the building program. Ford 'made public an award of a contract ifor a giant new 1,000 ton blast 'furnace, which will cost, with aux-j illaries. $4,500,000. The new furnace will be the first all-welded blast furnace in the world and will complement the two, , blast furnaces now in production! at the Rouge Plant. The new Rouge Plans expansion j program comes within two years i ’after the completion of the 1934-] ,'35 building program. The latter I was reputedly the largest under- . i taken by private industry during the period when the country was .'emerging from the depression. j The 1934-35 program embraced I the construction of the hot strip | 'and cold finishing steel mills, the, I expansion of the main power house,, I enlargement of the giant 30 acre I j foundry for manufacture of cast i ' steel alloy parts, Installation of complete new glass-making equip-' |ment in the glass plant, and instal-| ' lation throughout the plant of addi-l enable production of 6.000 V-B’s ih ' I tional new tools and equipment to j . 116 instead of 24 hours. . I The new Ford expansion program I currently scheduled calls for the I 'following: s| 1. New 1.000 ton blast furnace > and auxiliaries, including a new [battery of 61 coke ovens now unIder construction, plus additional 'ore storage and handling equipment. ■| 2. A new cast alloy steel foundry 1 building, which will cover approxi--1 mately 8 acres and will increase ’.the floor area of the giant Ford i foundry, now the largest in the f world, to 38 acres. The new build- ’ ing will house equipment for casting alloy steel parts, the use of which in motor cars was pioneered . by Ford four years ago with the Introduction of the cast steel alloy crankshaft for the V-8 engine. Numerous other parts, formerly forged, are now cast of special steel alloy developed by Ford. In connection with this development the present Electric Furnace building will be converted to supply molten steel alloy for use in the casting processes in the new foundry addition3. Reconstruction of the present open htarth stool furnace facilities and reorganization of manufacturing methodh. Nine 100-ton furnaces will be rebuilt. The reconstruction program is to be carried out under the progressive schedule which will permit operation of a majority of the furnaces at all times. Two furnaces will be torn down and rebuilt at j one time, while the balance will j be kept in production. Contracts for reconstruction of four of the furnaces already have been let. 4. A new addition to the Open Hearth building, to house new Bessemer converter. The new equipment will be used in preliminary processing operations in the open hearth mill and will enable these operations to be speeded up substantially by reducing time consumed in completing heats in the furnaces. 5. Installation of new equipment in the new steel rolling and finishing mills, completed two years ago. The hot strip mills will be equipped to roll a 60 inch sheet, instead of a 48 inch sheet as at present. Two new slab reheating furnaces and a new finishing stand will also be added. 6. Installation of additional new equipment in the new cold finishing mill, including a 78 inch continuous pickier and 12 sets of three Bell-type bright anneal electric furnaces. Contracts for this new work have been let. The capacity of the main power house is also being increased again by installation of a third 110,000 kilowatt turbo-generator. When the new blast furnace is put in production, ore requirements will rise to 1,500,000 tons yearly, Instead of 850,000 tons as at present, and closed season storage capacity will be stepped up to 650,000 tons- Present storage capacity is 450,000 tons. Most of the ore used at the Rouge Plant comes from Ford mines In upper Michigan and is carried to Dearborn in

I Ford lake freighters. The company now has under conI structlon a new battery of 61 coke 'ovents, supplementing the two <jthier batteries now in service. The [increased coke output will serve [requirements of the new blast fur- , nace. Two giant gas storage holdiers also are under construction, i One. of 10,000.000 cubic feet ca- , pacity, will be the largest all-weld-|ed steel structure in the world. It i will be ready for service shortly I and will be used to store- fuel gas produced in the coke ovens. The other of 2.500,000 cubic feet capacity, is also nearing completion. It will store blast furnace gas. o H. S- BASKETBALL I Hoagland 26. Monroeville 24. Huntington Catholic 29, Wolcottville 23. Warren 32, Hartford City 31. ' Ossian 28. Union Center 26. Kendallville 27.
