4 DIE, 20 HURT AS REBEL GUNS FIRE ON MADRID

American-0Owned Building Is Principle Target of Bombardment.

By United Press MADRID, Feb. 27.—The central part of the capital was under heavy shell fire late today, with many casualties. As in previouis bombardments, the Telephone Building, Madrid's only skyscraper ,owned by the Americanowned subsidiary of the International Telephone and Telegraph Co., was the principal target. Sixty-eight 6-inch shells were fired into the center of the city. Preliminary estimates gave the casualties as four dead and 20 gravely injured. Eight shells landed in populous neighborhoods, killing two women and gravely injuring 11 persons. Two

others were killed near the Tele- |

phone Building.

The latter structure was hit three |

times on the 11th, 12th and 13th fioors, which had been evacuated

weeks ago, so that there were no

casualties.

The floors were littered with glass |

and broken woodwork. The walls were full of holes. The furniture was covered with dust and the rooms full of smoke and fumes.

Doggone It

Two Canines Two Too Many on Small Pay, Judge Holds.

|

Charles Mitchell, 45, of 1548 Shepard St, a relief worker, is fond of dogs, especially bulldogs. But he cannot own any more, on orders of Municipal Judge Charles M. Karabell. The reasons: . The Judge didn't think his $60 a month salary sufficient to provide for two dogs and a family that includes a wife and four children. And principally because he happened to be the current owner of a vellow bulldog which the Judge was told has bitten about 14 persons recently and had as many owners. A charge of owning a vicious dog was filed against Mitchell after Margaret Ann Jenkins, 4, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Lemmie Jenkins, 1532 Reisner St. was bitten. Judge Karabell fined Mitchell $10 and costs, but suspended it provided he doesn’t keep any more dogs. Then because Mitchell didn't have a license for the yellow dog, the judge said he would have to pay $1 and costs on that charge. Mitchell pleaded that shortly his family is to be a littie larger. “Well, in that event,” said the judge, “I'll suspend that fine, too. But don't own any more dogs. The vellow dog is at the pound. A black one is available at 1548 Shepard St.

ADMINISTRATION MAPS DRIVE FOR COURT REFORM

President Expected to Push Plan With ‘Fireside Chat’ March 9.

(Editorial, Page 10)

| By United Press | WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.—The | Administration today prepared for | | a vigorous campaign the second | | week in March to rally support for the Supreme Court reorganization | program. | President Roosevelt is expected to ! | take personai leadership of the | | drive. | Mr, Roosevelt already had sched- | | uled ‘on March 9 one of his famous | “fireside chats” the night before the | | Senate Judiciary Committee opens | | public hearings on the plan. | Tha

| Whitz House officials vigorously |

denied again today reports that the | President, might stump the country | in support of his program. | They claimed the suggestion orig- | | inated from hostile sources. Intimates of the White House de- |

ony that the President would un- |srder of business and advanced 11 |

dertake such a spectacular move. | | Several Senators, however, reported | {they had heard it discussed. | |

Form Protests Traced | Congressmen asserted, meanwhile, |

| they had traced the source of thou- | | sands of pink, blue and green pro- | | test slips against enlargement of | {the Supreme Court to the Rev. | Gerald B. Winrod, Wichita, Kas. | Indications of renewed Adminis- | tration activity followed two developments considered adverse to their cause. Senator Donahey (D. 0.) joined | opponents of the program. Hope that the Supreme Court Justices Full-Pay Retirement Bill might offer a “way out” of the con- | troversy faded under the attack of | Senators Johnson (R. Cal) and Burke (D. Neb.), both foes of the | Court enlargement plan.

Court Convenes for ‘Secret Session

{ By United Press WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.—The | Supreme Court, stone-silent in the | face of the Presidential move to re- | organize it, met in secret conference at noon today to ponder a series of the most significant cases it has been called upon to decide since birth of the New Deal. The Court was meeting for the first time since passage of the Retirement Bill assured six of its justices a salary of $20,000 a year for life if they choose to lay aside their robes and quit the bench. Those familiar with the Court were convinced the Retirement Act, passed by the Senate yesterday, [would prove as much a subject oi | discussion at the regular Saturday | conference as the weighly legal | problems before the justices. | There has been speculation on the | possibility of several of those eligible under the measure retiring en masse. | Such a move, if it achieved reallily, would give President Roosevelt |a chance to name several new mem- | bers at once and possibly would halt | enactment of the judiciary reorgani- | zation proposal. Likewise, the Court's decision in the Wagner act and other pending cases might affect outcome of the

| proposal.

Text of Letter To Governors

| | The text of President

Roosevelt’s letter to govermors follows:

| My Dear Governor: | The dust storms and floods of (the last few years have underscored the importance of programs to control soil erosion. I need not emphasize to you the seriousness of the problem and the desirability of our | taking effective action, as a nation [and in the several states, to con- | serve the soil as our basic asset. The | nation that destroys its soil destroys | itself. In the Act of Congress approved | April 27, 1935 (Public No. 46 of the | 74th Congress), the Federal Gov- | ernment, through the Soil Con- | servation Service of the Department {of Agriculture, initiated a broad { program for the control of soil erosion. Demonstration work has

| been undertaken but much remains |

| to be done. The conduct of isolated | demonstration projects cannot control erosion adequately. Such work can only point the way. The problem is further com- | plicated by the fact that the failure | to control erosion on some lands, particularly if such eroding lands are situated strategically at the heads of valleys or watersheds, can | cause a washing and blowing of soil | onto other lands, and make the con- | trol of erosion anywhere in the | valley or watershed all the more | difficult. We are confronted with | the fact that, for the problem to be | adequately dealt with, the erodible | jand in every watershed must be | brought under some form of con- | trol. |

URGES STATE LAWS

To supplement the Federal pro-

to prevent diversion of State high- | grams, and safeguard their results,

| state legislation is needed. At the

| request of representatives from a

| number of states, and in co-opera-

[tion with them, the Department of | Agriculture has prepared a stand‘ard form of suitable state legisla- | tion for this purpose, generally re- | ferred to as the Standard State Soil | Conservation Districts Law. The |act provides for the organization of | “soil conservation districts” as gov- | ernmental subdivisions of the state | to carry on projects for erosion con=- | trol, and to enact into law land-use regulations concerning soil erosion | after such regulations have been ap= | proved in a referendum. | islation is imperative to enable | farmers to take the necessary cooperative action. I am sending to you several copies [of the Standard State Soil Con- | servation Districts Law, with | memorandum summarizing its basic provisions. I hope that you will see fit to make the adoption of legislation along the lines of the Standard act part of the agricultural program for your state. Very sincerely yours, FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT.
