Feb 23— (U.R) —The Spanish insurgent fleet retreated toward the Island of Majorca today after two of its cruisers had been seriously damaged in the biggest bati tie of the Spanish civil war between aircraft ami warships, loyalists asserted. A government communique said that the Almirante Cervera and another cruiser, believed to be either the Canarias or the Baleares, were stiuck by bombs from loyalist planes off Sagunto. north of Valencia. The Almirante Cervera is a 7, and the Canarias and Baleares both are of 10,(00 (ons. The Almirante Cervera was hit by a bomb when she attacked Sagunto as the fleet moved northward after an assaunt on Valencia, the communique said. The bomb hit the vessel's main stack, and a tremendous cloud of smoke was emitted, Indicating that the missile had dairuged the interior of the ship and possibly the engines. A loyalist air squadron set out in pursuit of the vessels as they retired from Sagunto. Approximately 55 miles off of Sagunto they came upon five ships. The Almirante Cervera and another cruiser were in town of other vessels. Despite Intense anti-aircraft fire, it was reported, the planes swooped over the fleet and succeeded in dropping a bomb onto the deck of one of the vessels in tow. The missile appeared to have penetrated to the interior, it was said. The Almirante Cervera. the Canarias and Baleares, accompanied by two other warships, steamed into positions late yesterday anil opened fire on Valencia harbor. Coastal batteries, warned of the warships’ movements by the Cape 1 San Antonio semaphore, were prepared for the assault and drove the attackers off with 45 shots. Only slight damage was caused ashore. One person was killed and two others wounded. Twenty Children Escape Injuries Logansiport, Ind..

SAYS VANNUYS DEFINITELY OUT Any Possibility For Party Support Seems Definitely Out Indianapolis, Feb. 23 — (U.PJ -r Any possibility that Senator Fred I crick Van Nuys might have Dernoj cratlc organization support for re- ; nomination appeared definitely eliminated today after former Gov Paul V. McNutt failed to intercede for him and statehouse leaders again issued statements predicting his defeat. Reports had been current that when .McNutt came back from the Philippine Islands he would bring about new harmony between Van Nuys and Gov. M. Clifford Townsend to have a united Indiana democracy behind his 1940 presidential candidacy. This despite! the fact that on several occasions Van Nuys had broken with McNutt when the latter headed the potent statehouse machine. What happened, however, was: Van Nuys failed to appear at the huge Indiana Democratic Editorial association banquet where McNutt i was guest of honor; McNutt failed to speak a word for Van Nuys as > far as could be learned; and Townsend at Washington announced that Van Nuys has ‘licked himself. Even before Governor Townsend j said at Washington that the senior Indiana senator "has left his friends and supporters." three prominent Democratic editors and a very high statehouse official told the I’nited Press that Van Nuys now has “read himself out of the Democratic party." This opinion was based on the' 100.000 letters Van Nuys sent to I both Republicans and Democrats last week under the caption "hide- | pendent committee of 100.000 for! re-election of Frederick Van Nuys." | When Van Nuys addressed himself as an “independent” instead of fighting his battle within the : Democratic ranks, it was observed., he forfeited his Democratic organization rights. The governor appeared to be not displeased with his belief when he said that now more Republicans would vote for Van Nuys than Democrats and that the senator's! independent candidacy would “not hurt" the Democratic nominee, but ‘ perhaps "would help him.” Consequently, organization forces are expected to push the senatorial candidacy of Sam Jackson of > Ft>rt Wayne, reliably reported to be tie administration's choice to succeed Van Nuys even though Town-' send himself has made no public | committment. Jackson was much in evidence at the editorial association convention, conducting a perpetual open > house in a suite of hotel rooms which was visited by virtually every Democratic organization leader. The only other Democratic senatorial candidate in the field thus far is Alex Gordon, prominent Indiana labor leader and present member of the state unemployment compensation board. With two Republican senatorial candidates —former Senator James E. Watson and Walter Bossert.j former Ku Klux Klan leader — already having announced and others ■ in prospect, the 1938 contest I assumes prime interest only by several interesting congressional races which now are taking shape. PRISON ESCAPE (CONTINUED FT-pvr PAGE ONE) sion systems for guards. 5. Exercise of greater care and caution in selecting the cells for inmates, particularly so partners in previous crimes would be separated. "I have asked the warden to put these recommendations into effect insofar as possible.” Gottschalk said. “Some of them cannot be put into operation at the present time owing to insufficient appropriations and others will 'need additional legislation.” Previos'y Gottschalk had ordered Warden Louis Kunkel to construct a solid brick wall in cell block B ill the north dormitory to replace the ancient metal sheeting through which the convicts kicked their way to freedom and to change the location of the No. 8 guard tower on the administration building, past which the convicts fled as they escaped. Gottschalk said in today's report that “the attic between “D” cell house and the roof of the north dormitory should be completely torn out and the wall between these two buildings should go en-. tirely to the roof.” Discussing the need for a metal detector instrment, Gottschalk explained there is a “considerable ? hazard” from the standpoint of carrying articles in and out of the prison" because of the large amount of convict work done outside the walls. “The convicts are searched by the gate man at the present time but such a search would be far , more effective if exposure to a gun detector were included. The warden should be permitted to install such a device.” Gottschalk said that an attic ou

the west side of the administration building, which previously had obstructed the view of guards in tower 8. will be removed and the roof lowered. The rear waljof the administration building then will be built up to the same height as the wall surrounding the prisI on. Regarding the work of guards. Gottschalk asserted that “we can hardly hope for intense supervision from men who are working as much as 13 to 14 hours a day or night. Increase of all custodial force to a point where guards would work in three eight-hour shifts per day would provide the ideal arrangement. The school for prison guards, Gottschalk said, would be similar to the one now conducted for state policemen. Applicants should be required to qualify both physically and mentally and all guards should be required to pass a test in markmanship. o DEATH CLAIMS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) cal church in this city. The Re", i George S. Lozier, pastor, will officiate. Burial will >be made in the Decatur cemetery. The body will be returned to the Hammond home from the S. E.

Denies Threats London, Feb. 23— (U.R) —Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain assured the house of commons today that the government is not negotiating with Premier Benito Mussolini because of threats or pressure. “Since last night,” he said. “I ( have consulted my colleagues and i they are unanimous in saying that jin taking Sunday's decision (to reopen British-Italian talks) they do not feel themselves under threat or duress.” Chamberlain refused to be drawn into another debate on the I resignation of Capt. Anthony Eden as foreign secretary. He declined to answer a taunting question by David Kirkwood, laborite, on whether relations with Italy were more friendly than when Eden was foreign secretary. Chamberlain made no reference I to instructions to be given Lord Perth, British ambassador to Italy, who is on his way home. At its regular weekly meeting! today, the first after the crisis, j I the cabinet discussed the nature of ■ instructions to be given Lord i Perth. It was reported that Chamj berlain gave his impression of the I I national reaction to his determina- ' tion to negotiate with Italy, and . outlined his own views on the j course which the negotiations ’

should take. Lord Perth is due tomorrow. He will confer with Chamberlain and Viscount Halifax, temporary foreign minister, for several days and : return to Rome next week. It was understood that Lord , Perth, and not a special envoy. Would be entrusted with the nego-' I tiations in Britain’s behalf. The negotiations are to be conducted at Rome by request of Premier Benito Mussolini. The vote of 330 to 168 by which the house of commons last night defeated a labor party motion of censure because of the resignation of Anthony Eden, and thus gave Chamberlain a vote of confidence, cleared the way for immediate negotiations aimed at ending the long diplomatic estrangement w’ith Italy. The confidence vote was on ; purely party lines. o Paroled Convict Caught By Police Plainfield, Ind., Feb. 23—(UP)— State police last night captured Thurman Swan, 26, paroled convict and automobile thief, after a daylong search in wooded sections near here. Swan told officers he was on parole from the state reformatory where he had been sentenced from Indianapolis to a one to 10 year term for iburglary. He admitted stealing a car Monday evening in ' Indianapolis. — o 1939 Rotary Meeting Goes To South Bend Indianapolis, Ind., Feb. 23 —(UP) The Rev. Paul E.

Feb. 23.—<U.R> — Stagehand, a rangy bay colt, owned by Col. Maxwell Howard and trained by Earl Sande, the once famous jockey, today became a favorite among the three-year olds for the Kentucky derby in May. Performing like a champion, Stagehand came from “out of the clouds" before 62,000 Washington birthday fans, to capture the $50,000 added Santa Anita derby from a brilliant field of 15 colts. Dauber, owner by the Foxcatcher Farms, was second, a length behind. Third place was won by Sun Egert, owned by A. C. Compton. Legal Light, owned by Rai Par and teamed as an entry wltli Sun Egert, was fourth. o Hillculture Goes to College Berkeley, Cal.
