FRANCO CLAIMS

Loyalists Respond They Will Fight to

Eventual Triumph

‘Reds Prolong Conflict,’ Rebel Generalissimo Declares.

BURGOS, Spain, July 18 (U.P). |

—Gen. Francisco Franco asserted today that his Rebels had virtually won the 2-year-old civil war. In an interview Gen. Franco summed up the last two years of fighting and charged that “criminality” of Loyalist leaders was

responsible for the prolonged con- |

flict which has taken an estimated one million lives. “The war has been won on land and sea, in the air and industrially and economically,” the Generalissimo asserted. “It is not ended yet because of the spirit of criminality of the Red leaders who do not feel the blood uselessly poured out and because of the obstinacy of Russia which is making every effort to unloose a war over Europe.” “Studring Problems”

Asked whether he considered the Rritish plan for withdrawing foreign troops from both sides workable Gen. Franco said: “The first problem (of the plan) is the bad faith of our adversaries, already demonstrated by the number foreigners passing over to our side these davs, and the tactics

them with other soldiers. We are carefully studying the problems involved now.” In reply to & question as to whether the eventual failure or the suspension of an international nonintervention policy would jeopardize a Rebel victory, Gen. Franco replied fous to save Spanish lives, I would lament prolongation of the struggle which already has been virtually decided Fail of nonintervention would hardly modify things as under the nonintervention policy enemies have received scandalous abusive from those who call this policy

000 annuaily. Outstanding current liabilities and other obligations, the holders not accepting securities of the new enterprise, were liquidated through a foreclosure sale. Mr. Chase's next step was to obtain credit to rebuild the system. Security holders were reluctant to provide funds and banks were not loaning money at that time except on first mortgages or highly negotiable paper, But manufacturers of transit equipment listened to his pleas and extended credit up to almost $4.000000 for new equipment. Twenty-five new streetcars, 32 motor coaches and 15 trackless trolleys were received in 1932 to replace antiquated carriers. The next year the company contracted for 80 additional trackless trolleys and 65 more new streetcars. The former order was the largest placed by any company that year and the streetcars lacked by only six of being all that were delivered in the country that year.

Conk

fixed charges from $811,000 to $300, |

Meanwhile, tracks were being rebuilt and trackless trolley lines were being installed so as to be ready as soon as that type of car rier was received. Both types of work still were in progress last year,

While all this ground and overhead work was in progress, Mr. Chase realized that more money was needed to continue and that the railroads were securing funds from the PWA. He got a loan of $3,120,000. As work continued in 1936, 57 more trackless trolleys were bought, and Indianapolis then had the largest fleet of that kind of carriers of | any city in the country. With 152 now, it is exceeded by none, but | tied by Chicago. Twenty-two more new motor coaches were delivered last year while work on the $809,000 barns now nearing completion was begun. During the course of the program, 30 miles of track have been reconstructed, hundreds of monotube street trolley poles have been erected and miles of new overhead have been installed.

PROBING SOURGE OF WAR ORDER MESSAGE

Mysterious Call to Berlin U. P. Bureau Investigated.

LONDON, July 18 (U. P).~The Soviet Union Foreign Office in Moscow and the Gestapo (German Se eret Police) in Berlin today were investigating the source of a mysteri« ous telephone call received late Saturday in the Berlin Bureau of the United Press. The mysterious caller, purportedly from the United Press Bureau in Moscow, dictated a dispatch saying that a state of war emergency had been declared in Eastern Siberia, that Gen. Vasily Bleucher, come mander-in-chief of the Russian Far Eastern Corps, had been appointed commander-in<chief of the Far Eastern front and that fresh troops were continually arriving in Eastern Siberia. The voice of the caller, who spoke in a Baltic or Russian accent, occasioned no suspicion as Russian assistants frequently telephone news from the Moscow bureau. The Gestapo arranged with the United Press to rerun the cylinder of the telephone recording device which contained the message in an effort to ascertain identity of the caller. A check with the Moscow Bureau of the United Press revealed that no telephone calls had been made from there to the Berlin Bureau Satur

Samuel Insull Died Penniless, Friends Believe

PARIS, July 18 (U, P)—A fruitless search among Samuel Insull's papers for a recent will led to the conclusion today that he died comparatively penniless. Insull, 78, former Chicago utilities magnate and once one of the world's richest men, suffered a fatal heart attack Saturday as he walked into a subway station. He had a subway ticket worth about a nickel in his hand and 21 cents in his pocket, It was believed, however, that his expenses were being paid by his former employees. Mrs. Insull, it was sald, had no knowledge of his recent dealings, but friends in American banking circles here said that everything ne touched since the collapse of his once powerful utilities chain had failed, forcing him to sell almost all his possessions, Final arrangements were completed for transporting Insull’'s body to London for burial in Putney Vale Cemetery,

projects in the program, the proposed $3,000,000 State office building has been taken out of the Governor's recommendations to the session, It is believed that the Governor will not oppose construction of this building if the Legislature aecides independently to include it in the list.

Rural Areas Opposed

Opposition to the State office building, which would be designed to house administrative branches, such as the Gross Income Tax Department, now located outside the State House, has come chiefly from Legislators in rural communities. They reportedly have said they would not vote an appropriation “to improve the Indianapolis skyline.” Marion County Representatives and Senators are expected to urge inclusion of this building in the program. Under original plans, it would be 168 stories high and would be located on the site of the State House Annex, Senate Ave, and Market St. Interest in the project was revived in the last few days when a group of Indianapolis architects urged that a different type of structure be erected.

Old Plan Revived

The plan urged by these architects is similar to one drawn nearly 25 years ago and revived a few years ago with the construction of the State Library Building. The State Library was designed,

the Indianapolis chapter of the Indiana Society of Architects told the Governor, to fit into a grouping of buildings. Buildings would be cleared from the area bounded by Senate Ave, Ohio St., Missouri St. and Washington St, This would be transformed into a mall, under the architects’ plan, and a Supreme Court, museum and office building would be placed in the area. Opposition to the redistribution of welfare costs also is expected to pit the legislators from large counties against those from small counties,

Aid Extent Fixed

Under the plan to be suggested by Administration leaders, the State would take over a portion of the welfare costs now borne by counties, but the size of State payments to individual counties would depend on the ability of these counties to carry the load unaided. This system, similar to the one used for schools, probably will be fought by representatives of large, wealthy counties, State Welfare Director Thurman Gottschalk said. Under the present cost distribu tion, the Federal Government pays 50 per cent, the State 30 per cent and counties 20 per cent, It is estimated it would cost the State approximately $2,000,000 annually to take over the entire share of counties.

Gadget Refund Asked

Both Republican and Democratic legislators are agreed that the Windshield Title Card Holder Act, the so-called ‘gadget law,” should be amended. Senator Jacob Weiss, Indianapolis, said he would urge that the State make a 25-cent refund to persons who purchased the transparent holders “If we were wrong in passing the law, we should admit it and pay the people back,” he said. State Automobile License Bureau officials said such a refund would create a difficult administrative problem. Under the Administration -approved proposed amendment, the automobile title card could be kept in any type of container as long as it was some place in the driver's compartment and was visible from outside the car. Both houses of the Legislature are to be called to order tomorrow at 10 a. m. Speaker Stein is to preside in the lower branch, and Lieut. Gov. Henry F. Schricker in the Senate. “The House will wind up its business by Saturday night,” Mr, Stein said. Other leaders predicted the session would not last longer than seven or eight days.

FLIES ATLANTIC IN OLD, RICKETY $300 AIRPLANE

Corrigan Lands, Calmly Says That He Made a Slight Mistake.

(Continued from Page One)

And Miss Earhart's shorter than Corrigan’s, started from Newfoundland. Corrigan, however, wasn't inter ested in being a hero when he put his old ship down at Baldonnell, Before he would talk about his exe ploit at all, he insisted on persone ally checking over the plane that had brought him across. He checked the gasoline tanks and found he landed with only 30 gallons left. “I feel fine and am not tired,” he said. Corrigan, who is 31 and has done many hours of flying, maintained with a straight face that he had thought all the time that he was going to Los Angeles. Perhaps he was worried about what the U. S. aviation authorities would do to him for making the unauthorized trans-Atlantic trip. “1 left New York to return to Los Angeles, but by an unfortunate mistake I set my compass wrong, and when I got up above the clouds the visibility was very bad,” he Lold the United Press. “I flew a considerable distance and didn't know I was over the sea. When I had flown 25 hours, I thought I should be near my destination and came down through the clouds. ‘It Must Be Ireland!’

“I saw some fishing smacks which did not appear familiar. I cruised around awhile, thinking I was near California, but the landscape appeared entirely different. “I flew inland and discovered what I thought must be Ireland. Then I flew in an eastern direction about 50 miles and saw what I believed was Baldonnell Airdome. I turned the machine down and landed, and the officials informed me I was in Ireland. “I had only 30 gallons of gas left. “On the way I had only some chocolate bars and a half gallon of water. I didn't have anything else at all to eat. “I don't feel very tired, but I sure was surprised when I found myself off the coast of Ireland.” Mechanics at the airport helped Corrigan check the plane and said it was in perfect condition. U. 8. Minister John Cudahy drove out to the airport as soon as he heard of Corrigan's unheralded arrival, The minister drove Corrigan into Dublin at § p. m.

Behr referred to the 31-year-old barnstorming flier as the “26 or 27-year-old kid.” “Corrigan did not give me any hint that he was going across the | Atlantic,” Behr said, “but a few minutes after he started I had a sudden premonition that the kid was going.” Considering the conditions under which the flight was made Behr said “it is the most outstanding feat of aviation.” “He had installed gas tanks directly in front of his seat in the cabin,” Behr said, “and had hung his instruments on a board attached to the gas tank, fastening it with wires, He had a four-inch square glass in the roof of the plane, probaply to let in a little light.” Behr said it was apparent Core rigan “would have to fly practically blind” and that he was afraid “he might go off the runway” if a bee fore-dawn takeoff were attempted. The airport manager said he encountered Corrigan at 4 a. m. and told him he would have to wait until dayilght. “Without having anything to eat here at the airport and without carrying any food and water that I could see,” Behr continued, “he started toward his plane. I have been told since that earlier in the evening he had purchased two candy bars. If he had any other food, it must have been stuffed in his pockets, for I couldn't see him carrying any bundles.” “When he said ‘goodby’ to me.” Behr said, “he pulled the door of the cabin shut. The door didn't even have a latch on it. He had to fasten it with a piece of wire.” “As he entered the plane I noticed that there was no radio or earthinductor compass in the ship. He had only a flashlight, a compass, an oil-pressure gauge and a bank-ande turn indicator.” “When you think of the prepara=tions, the radio publicity, the hours of suspense attending the Hughes flight, and realize that this kid jumped off into the blue without fanfare, it makes the feat all the

more remarkable.”
