1 program and demanding its repeal. At least 500 delegates wore driven by n heavy rain to the shelter of automobiles, where they heard the meeting over a public addrss system. League President Tilden Burg, 35 year old Macomb farmer, said 38 Illinois counties were represented at the meeting and that 400 new members were signed. "This is a non partisan fight,” he said. "We are not waging a political battle but we will tight the AAA and any government agency seeking to take freedom from us by regimentation.'’ The league sprang Into being two weeks ago as the aftermath of

curbstone discussions by McDon-1 ough county (Macomb) farmers. Burg said the league would be organized on a county basis throughout the nation, with a |2 membership fee. Officers will ■ serve without pay, he said. John E. Waters, Madison, Wis.,! agricultural expert who served as , an instructor during soviet Russia's first five-year plan from 1929 to 1933, told delegates that conditions in the United States "swiftly are reaching a state similar to those in the soviet republic." "The present program of the AAA," he said, "may by a vote be turned into compulsory crop control for the nation. This step is the only one which remains to keep the United States and Russia from having the same farm program." The motion reaffirming last week's resolution was passed by acclamation. It demanded repeal of the crop bill because farmers "look with fear and disfavor on certain of its features and are convincd that corn allotments, now being made, are in many cases ruinous.” Basis of the movement and the underlying reason tor formation of the league were small yellow cards, distributed by the AAA and dropped last week Into rural mail boxes throughout the midwest. The cards "suggested" the acreage each farmer should plant to corn. The program is not compulsory now. But Burg said the government's requirement that farmers comply or forefelt benefits of 10 cents per bushel offered those who adhere to acreage allotments brought about the opposition. The law may be made compulsory next fall when a referendum will be held among corn-belt farmers. The audience booed last night when Secretary of Agriculture, Henry A. Wallace's name was mentioned and cheered when Oliver Johnson, Wimmebago, Minn., farmer stood up and made a motion to reaffirm the resolution. He he seconded by Lowell McDaniels, Greenfield. Ind. He said 90 per cent of the farmers of Hancock, Ind., were opposed to the crop control measure. "You’re looking at a farmer, ’ he said, "who is going to farm his land, farm bill or no farm bill.” | — ANTI-GAMBLING (CONTINUED FROM WAGE ONE) affirming their endorsement of the Neely-l’ettengill bill to abolish compulsory block booking and blind selling of motion pictures.

LOYAL BRIGADE IS WIPED OUT Spanish Nationalists Contine Offensive Against Loyalists Hendaye, April 28 — (U.R) — Spanish nationalist forces wiped I out the 22nd loyalist brigade in a "battle of hand grenades" north of Castellon De La Plana today while I warships off the Mediterranean I shore shattered loyalist coastal | defenses and halted communications along the railroad and high- j way. The loyalists advanced against the nationalist lines, using only hand grenades. Poor visibility- because of low hanging clouds pre-' vented the use of artillery and aviation. Thousands of cases of hand gren- ■ ades were brought up to the front in relays and the loyalists went i over the top. They were met with such intense fire that most of the 22nd brigade was killed, wounded or captured. It was estimated that more than 600 were killed and 200 taken prisoner in the sector between Torre Endomenech and Cuevas Vinroma, north of Castellon. The weather cleared near the coast and nationalist warships opened up on the loyalists south of i Alcala. A score of enemy tanks. ■ accompanied by an armored train. ’ was sighted where the railway crosses the coastal highway between Alcala and Alcocebre sta-1 tions. The loyalists also had a mounted battery of light artillery on armor- j ed trucks. The moment the loco- > motive arrived the nationalists be- ( gan shelling the railway and the highway. The loyalists abandoned the train and tanks. Nationalist 120 millimeter naval guns also wrecked the enemy ! positions near Picocebre. Prisoners captured by the nationalists said that between 30,000 and 40.000 men had been brought up to reinforce the Castellon front. It was estimated that one-third of the entire loyalist army in central : Spain was concentrated between Teruel and the sea in an attempt to check the nationalist drive south of Valencia. Loyalist communiques admitted that a severe bombardment of their lines on the coast by nationalist I 1 warships and airplanes had forced II the loyalists to retreat.

Furthermore, i the French purse is almost flat. Britain, buttressed by mighty financial resources, has been in a i more favorable position to fight off \ a similar fate—and a similar threat to her world power—by shifting to direct negotiations with the dicta- | trs.

desire to have a check against her Nazi partner at Berlin have aided Chamberlain's efforts to regain the balance of power by chiseling at the Rome-Berlin axis. But the British front line in Europe necessarily extends to the Rhine and it is for that reason that Chamberlain now undertakes to strengthen the Anglo-French position. Policy toward Czechoslovakia's resistance of Nazi expansion; rearmament programs, particularly in the air; close collaboration of British and French military staffs and safeguards against aj Nazi-Fascist foothold in Spain—at' France's unprotected back door. and on Britain's life line through the Mediterranean—are among the j problems the two nations must solve. Their success in solving them will determine Europe's future but will, In the opinion of most observers. be directed at maintenance of peace more than at saving the Balkan’s from Nazi dominance. Meanwhile, the British effort to offset the dictatorial bloc by a treaty with Italy remains to be tested. The first indication of the result may be given next week when Hitler goes in state to Rome to visit Premier Benito Mussolini. o TWO BROTHERS, (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) but it was three hours before the sedan was pulled from the river.
