The steady advance of Gen. ! Francisco Franco's insurgent armies in Spain continued, with a new maneuver virtually splitting the loyalist armies into three sections on the Catalonian front. GOVERNMENT HEADS (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) funds. Barkley, however, said that it now is not believed that J the restriction would handicap relief activities over the seven months to which the new appropriation would apply. The new relief request. Barkley said, is predicated on tit" assump- ' tion that tile peak of the relief I load has been reached. He em- ■ phasized that, the $1,250,000,000 figure would not provide for any I addition to relief rolls. Bankhead, on leaving the White House, said he believes congress would be favorably inclined to vote I increased relief and recovery funds I to prime the economic pump. Calls For Action Washington, April 11 (U.R) ' President Roosevelt today called ’ for immediate congressional action i to gave the nation's railroads from bankruptcy and submitted a wide range of proposals calling for more liberal federal loans to carriers. Roosevelt asked for quick action ’ but did not recommend a specific ’ program. Instead he presented to | congress the proposals of a special i committee of interstate commerce commissioners and attached critii cisms and further recommendations I from nine other sources. Virtually all the proposals called j for liberalized government credit to save roads now on the verge of bankruptcy. Most of the recom"l mendations also called for new government efforts to obtain con- ’ i solidation and reorganization of roads, operating economies and . merger of duplicating facilities. The president coupled his rail ' proposals with a notation that some executive functions of the ICC are probably unconstitutional and that : congress consider, in the future. | some coordination of government supervision of transportation. Burial will he made in the M. R. E. cemetery in Berne.
