The Loyalists evacuated the city, possession of which has been hotly disputed for months, by way of Vill-

astar to the southeapt before the |

Rebels, under the personal direction of Generalissimo Franco, were able to close a “ring of steel.” The commander at Teruel mustered all his forces within the city as the besieging troops tightened their lines and broke through the Rebel ring to join the main Loyalist forces outside the city. Report Anarchists Remain Although Rebel sources reported that Anarchists remained within the city, continuing the resistance, the Government anounced that no Loyalists or munitions remained in the city. The battle, from which the Loyalist command apparently decided to withdraw rather than sacrifice troops. within the city as did the Rebels when Teruel fell to the Loyalists last Dec. 21, was the heaviest encounter of the entire war. With the recapture .of Teruel Gen. Franco is expected to renew . his drive eastward toward the Mediterranean Sea in an attempt to cut off Valencia from Barcelona, the Loyalist capital. The Rebels announced the complete encirclement of the city this morning with the capture of the last: Government mountain of de- . fense, El Trincheron, south of Teruel and dominating the Turia Valley through which some 10,000 Loyalists fled for their lives in the face of the insurgent trap. The Loyalists were accused of setting fire to the city during the night. The civil: Government palaces ana part of" the northeast quarter of the city were reported in flames. It was reperted that the fires were started simultaneously and were believed to have been a signal for a hasty evacuation. ‘Report 1000 Killed - The Rebel radio station at Irun gnnounced that - two Galacjan divisions had entirely occupied the

city. The Rebels reported that 1000 Loyalists were killed in the attempt to escape and 1500 others were taken prisoner. Several battalions surrendered inside the city, it was aded. A Rebel communique said it was believed that the leader of the defending troops, known as “El Campesino” (the peasant) and for whom his division was named, was killed when a trench mortar struck an automobile in which. the division staff was fleeing.

MAKE TAX PROTESTS ‘COUNT, SAYS MIESSE

Citizens Told to Complain Direct to Officials.

The tax burdened citizen who

spends his time telling his neigh-

bor his troubles is just wasting his breath, Harry Miesse, Indiana Taxpayers’ Association executive secretary, said in a statement today. The proper recipient for such complaints is the public official who is “overspending his budget,” to force that official to comply with laws requiring observance of Hmitetions, he asserted. Mr. Miesse said no expenditures were permitted by law An excess of approved budgets except in cases of emergency. He c criminal statutes applicable against officials who violate limitation laws. The association secretary said the State Board of Accounts recently “struck a blow at unauthorized expenditures by refusing to approve County purchases in excess of appropriations.” . He warned the {axpayer must familiarize himself with tax laws to protect his own interests.

SEATTLE MAYOR LOSES PRIMARY

Defeat Seen as Result of C. I. 0.-A. F. L. Coalition And Slap at Beck.

SEATTLE, Wash., Feb. 22 (U. P.). —The defeat of John F. Dore, Seatin yesterday’s mayorality primary where he was a candidate for renomination, was attributed today to a coalition of

American Federation of Labor and

Committee for Industrial organiza-

tion forces. Mayor Dore’s defeat was a blow to his chief sponsor, Dave Beck, head of the teamsters union in 10 Western states. The teamsters belong to the A. F. of L. and dominate it in this area, but several federation unions joined the C. I. O. in supporting Lieut. Gov. Victor A. Meyers, one of the two successful candidates. City Councilman Arthur B. Langlie received 50,389 votes from the 508 precincts reported today; Mr. Meyers had 27,263, and Mayor Dore, 21,369. It was a nonpartisan primary. Mr. Langlie and Mr. Meyers will enter a run-off election, March 8. Mr. Beck is the avowed foe of Hany Bridges, West Coast leader of the C. I. O, and he and Mayor

Dore have pushed the A. F. of jL.
