wtiH the example of the defenue lof Madrid early in the war when ! Gen. Joae Mlaja turned back the rebel attack, hung on grimly through weeks of fighting and eventually forced the Franco armies to turn to other fields. Now Mlaja is at Valencia, throwing every resource and every person Into the defense plans in the hope of again stalling an insurgent victory. On the other hand the loyalists have lost two thirds of Spain since their victory at Madrid. Their forces are split in two. Material Is low. International efforts to cut down the Italian and German aid to Franco cannot become effective for weeks and few believe they will ever become effective unless , Franco Is certain of victory any- ! way. Mlaja faces at Valencia a task even more desperate than he fulfilled at Madrid. The world's third active war crater — Palestine — ciattinued to I give Great Britain her most violent empire headache of recent years. Bombs exploded in the streets of Haifa again yesterday, bringing the death toll in two weeks of Jewish-Arab disorders to 65. with more than 200 wounded. Britain arrested hundreds of Jewish extremists and kept pouring reinforcements into the holy land in an effort to restore order but. even if successful in that difficult task, the real problem remains to be solved. The interests of Arabs and Jews clash so sharply and are so fundamentally economic that the possibility of an early compromise appears remote. The British plan for division of Palestine into two separate spheres, with London maintaining control of a third small area, so far has made nobody happy, although eventually some such arbitrary adjustment is necessary to avoid greater bloodshed. o CARDOZO RITES (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) regret.” Among those invited to the funeral of the eminent liberal jurist were Gov. and Mrs. Herbert H. Lehman of New York. Sen. Robert F. Wagner of New York, who was mentioned as a possible successor to Justice Cardozo in the first speculation today, messaged: “I am deeply distressed by the news of Cardoo’s death, lie was one of God’s noblemen. His death is an irreparable loss to the I nation. A great scholar, a great 1 judge, a friend of humanity, a lovi or of liberty, his judicial opinions, I which had the divine spark, will I live as long as jurisprudence itsj self." o DELEGATES GATHER ! (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) I ganized labor attempted to make ' its influence felt in its selection, whose supporters have a brilliant ) pro-labor record, but the statehouse showed considerable inde- : pendence in this respect. As far as an estimate of a stateI house slate is concerned, it ap- ! peared today that only two week end changes have been authorized. Judge James P. Hughes of Greencastle, member of the state supreme court, is scheduled to be replaced. The candidate to succeed him most frequently mentioned today was Nathan Swaim, present I city controller of Indianapolis. There also was talk that A. J. ' Stevenson, slated for nomination I to the appllate court, might be j switched to the supreme court I nominatin. Organized labor is reported to 1 have opposed the nomination of i Edward D. Koeneminn of Evans- | ville as secretary of state and Frank G. Thompson of Bluffton as ! state auditor. It was said that 1 the s asuoett h ahfnpoerag hwast , the statehouse organization told labor that Koenemann will be nominated, but that the Thompson 'case will be taken under advisement. Thompson was majority floor leader of the house in the I state legislature. As the situation shapes up today, Van Nuys will be renominated for ( the senate on the first ballot. Alex Gordon—the only remaining potential senatorial candidate who has announced —withdrew last night. I Obviously subject to change as 1 "deals" are consummated, the Democratic state ticket may line jup as follows: Secretary of state — Edward D. ! Koenemann of Evansville. State auditor —Frank G. Thomp1 son of Bluffton. State treasurer —State Senator I Joseph M. Robertson of Brownstown. Superintendent of public instruction—Floyd I. McMurray of Thorntwn. Clerk of the supreme and appellate courts —Paul Stump of Crawj fordsville. Appellate court, first division — A. J. Ctevenson of Danville and possibly William H. Bridwell of Sullivan.

PRODUCTION AT MILLS BOOSTED Nation's Steel Mills Boost Production Over Last Week New York, July 11—(UP) —The Nation's steel mills are scheduled to operate at 32.3 per cent of capacity this week, a gain of 9.9 points or 44 2 per cent over the preceding holiday week and the best rate since the week of April 18, the American iron and Steel institute reported today. The sharp increase largely reflected the fact that operations in July 4th week dropped 6.3 points or 21.9 per cent to 22.4 per cent from the 28.7 per cent rate which was scheduled in the full week starting June 27, The rate for this week was exceeded this year only by the five weeks starting with March 21. Op eratioiio in that period ranged between a high of 35. per cent in the final March week and a low of 32.4 per cent in the April 18 we'ek. Operations a month ago were at 27.1 per cent of capacity and a year ago at 82.7 per cent. —o GOV. TOWNSEND (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) enjoys a general fund balance of (24.500,000 which would enable the state to undertake much needed improvement of benevolent institutions with federal aid. and provide relief for the people, and. "Whereas, the state of Indiana cannot utilize any of the balance In the general fund, except by legislative acts, and. “Whereas, the congress of the United States has provided that federal funds cannot be allocated; for public works construction unless actual work shall be undertaken on or before January 1, 1939, and. "Whereas, the public welfare requires immediate consideration of these matters before the general assembly of the state of Indiana; "Now, therefore, I. M. Clifford Townsend, governor of the state of Indiana, by virtue of the power and authority vested in me by the constitution and laws of the state of Indiana, do hereby proclaim and duly issue a call for a special session of the eightieth general assembly tn Fit at the Indiana state house In the city of Indianapolis, on Tuesday. July 19. at 10 a. m.. and from day to day thereafter until a program of relief and recovery is enacted.” Townsend hopes to have the legislation passed within a week after the session opens, lie already has obtained pledges from a majority' of the house members that they Hughes. The state convention also is expected to bring the 1940 White ; House candidacy of former Governor McNutt into the pen by pledging Hosier democracy to support him lor the presidential nomination as Indiana's "favorite eon' • candidate

The senators indicated, however, that they might stray from Town- - Bend's plan to have the legislature i act only on the eight million dollar l ■ construction program at state insti-l tutions and do something about thei "windshield gadget" law which has . been under fire for months.

Corigan works for the Northrop Airplane company at Los Angeles. • He was a mechanic at the Ryan airplane factory in San Diego when | he helped assemble Lindbergh's history-making plane. He said the ' flight was “just a vacation trip.” j o HOWARD HUGHES (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) I said. “We saw little land until we reached Paris. We had 300 gallons; of fuel left.” While Hughes and his crew talk-I nd to newspapermen in the admin-! istration building, chefs hurried the' preparation of hot meals for them and other food and supplies were I loaded into the plane. Harry P. M. Connor, navigator and co-pilot, said their flight here! ! in less than half the time that! Lindbergh took was a striking; example of the progress of aviation ; in the Intervening 11 years. Lindbergh flew a single-motored plane, went alone, and had no radio. Just as Ambassador Myron T. Herrick greeted Lindbergh, Ambas-| sad or William C. Bullitt was on, hand to extend warm congratula-j tions to Hughes and his four com-; panion fliers. Hughes was five hours ahead of, i the schedule which he had set. He; i came through bad weather bveri the Atlantic and the eastern coast of Europe, flying by radio beam through rain and low-hanging clouds. However, he had favorable winds after leaving mid-ocean and sped; directly from the Irish coast to; France via Cherbourg. He was not | sighted from the ground after; crossing the coast until the big" plane appeared over the field just 1 outside Paris. The plane landed at the north , end of the field, avoiding a dozen ' commercial planes, and taxied to ; 1

; the apron in front of the adminis- ; I tration building. Ambassador Buliitt ran across ; I the field and shook hands with j Hughes, shouting joyfully. Despite th eabd weather else- I where, it was cleared somewhat in , Paris and the sun was breaking : ■ through when Hughes landed. i Hughes hoped to take off for ; Moscow before dark on his trip i , around the world. He ordered the oil emptied and renewed, because ■ 'he experienced some oil pump I trouble in mid-ocean. French mechanics swarmed on ' the field as soon as the plane land--1 ed, uncowled the motors and began working on them. They found ; there was ample gasoline left,! despite the temporary fear of Hughes when off the Newfoundland coast that it might not prove suffi- | cient. I The favorable winds encountered helped to conserve fuel and the two ; 1,100 horsepower engines were able i to drive the big plane through the 1 air at a speed which at times reached 250 miles tat hour. Lindbergh's distance across the . Atlantic was 3,600 miles and I Hughes was almost the same, over ] the great circle route. His elapsed I time thus would indicate an aver- ; age speed of better than 200 miles ■ an hour. _—.— 0 VIOLENT DEATH (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) tersection.

TRIAL FLIGHTS BEING PLANNED 1 May Defer Trans-Ocean Regular Service Until Next Spring — Washington. July 11 (U.R) —! Commerce department officials said 1 today that inauguration of regular i trans-Atlantic air service between 1 I the United States and Great Brlt- . ain. scheduled for the fall, may be deferred until next spring. Both the Pan-American Airways Sand the British Imperial Ah ways, j which plan to make two round trip 1 , flights each weekly, have yet to complete tests on the newest type of flying equipment they intend to use. Pan-American may complete the I tests in time to begin regular I flights in the fall, officials said, ■ but the British will not be ready. ! Pan-American has completed survey flights over the route. The | British made survey flights in flying boats which aviation experts here said could not carry "pay, loads.” Subsequently, the British developed a new type “piggy back" flying boat —a flying boat which Is carried aloft on the top wing of: a larger plane and from which, at proper altitude and airspeed it is' released to proceed under its own power. Word was received In Washlng- ' ton that the British Imperial Air-i I ways is prepared to begin the first | of six trans-Atlantic survey cross- ' ings with the "piggy hack” ships i at 1 p. m. CST tomorrow. The Short-Mayo-Composite aircraft, as the new type plane is known, is scheduled to take-off I front Southampton, fly to Foynes.! Ireland, where the smaller craft i will be cut loose for a 2.885 miles ' non-stop flight to Montreal From i there the plane will fly to New' ! York. The flight will be the first of a | series of approximately 56 trans-! Atlantic survey hops in which 1 three nations—Great Britain, Ger-' i many and France—will participate | during the summer.

MINE TRIAL IS IN NINTH WEEK Coal Company Eoreman Denies Union Men Denied Rights London. Ky„ July 11 (U.R) A foreman at the High Splint Coal company testified in the Harlan coal conspiracy trial today that the company continued to hire union men even after a United Mine Workers contract expired in 1935. John Lee, for 12 years the company's general foreman, testified his superiors ordered him to treat union and non-union miners alike and that he always had followed the order scrupulously. The trial went into its ninth I week today and Lee was the day's first witness in the defense's effort to reftfte government charges that 16 coal companies and 40 individuals conspired to violate the Wagner labor relations act. The government charges the defendants with carrying on a campaign of terror to pevent miners from joining the U. M. W. Judge H. Church Ford sustained for the present government objections to defense attempts to inject I the 1931 “battle of Evarts" Into Lee’s testimony. A move to attack the reputations ' of Mr. and Mrs. Ota Hubbs, who i testified earier for the govern- , meat, also failed. The government has succeeded in getting into the records testimony that on July 7, 1935 at Evarts, Ky„ Lee broke up a union I rally called to celebrate passage |of the Wagner act. Witnesses I testified that Lee pulled Marshall I Musick, a union organizer, from ; and clubbed him with a pistol butt. o Slightly Injured In Truck-Auto Crash Frank Major, of this city, suffered | minor injuries Sunday morning in a i truck car collision south of the city, i He was taken to his home following , the accident.
