A four to one caperiority in artillery over the Loyalist defenders of the Catalonian front was a prime factor in the Rebel capture of Bare tlona. As pictured above, battery after battery of big guns blasted a path for Generalissimo Franco's armies,

Refugees Pour Into France

Rebel Moors Push Negrin Forces Farther Back Toward Frontier.

4 the commanding general and prefect of the region looked on. As speedily as they arrived, busses and trucks took the refugees into Boulou. But no matter how quickly, the French and Spanish authorities worked, they could not keep up with the stream. The caravan stretched miles southward back into the battle zone and still was moving toward France.

Some estimates of the number of |:

refugees ran as high as 200,000. It was expected the exodus would continue for days. Among the refugees were thousands who had gone hungry for days. There were others too old or too weak to make much progress on the crowded main highway. Others lay by the roadside, wrapped in blankets or huddled in small groups ‘around fires. More than 150,000 refugees were reported in the Puigcerda region alone, many of them soldiers. They were camped along the roads, which were knee-deep in icy slush, and lashed by intermittent snowstorms.

Observers could see thousands of]

stragglers struggling through the grim mountain passes. Women wearing jewels and rich furs, their smart shoes broken and

with peasant women carrying bundles on their shoulders.

Rebels Seek to Trap Foes at Frontier

(Copyright, 1939, by United Press)

BARCELONA, Jan. 28.— Rebel troops, driving an apparently dis-| organized Loyalist Army into a trap at the French border along the Mediterranean, occupied Caldetas today and pushed on to Arenys de Mar, on the coast 25 miles north of Barcelona. The Rebels, meeting little actual resistance, were advancing. steadily up the two main Catalonian north-to-south highways with tanks, armored cars and bombing planes. Their progress was so swift that they gave the Loyalists no chance to reform their lines and make a stand. The Moors and legionnairés of the Moroccan Corps, the most seasoned fighters of the Rebel Army, were selected for the task of mopping up all Catalonia and leaving the Loyalists isolated and virtually surrounded in the small area which they hold in south central Spain.

the coast, the Rebels had advanced more than 25 miles from Barcelona, passing the line which the Loyalists had selected for their first stand north of the city. They were 32 miles from Gerona, which had been selected as a temporary Loyalist capital, and only about 50 miles from the French frontier, ¢ While the Rebels were driving along the coast, another force was pushing steadily eastward toward the inner Barcelona-Granollers-Puigcerda highway. An official announcement said they dominated Granollers and were continuing their advance, 25 miles north of Barcelona.

| Granollers Reported (Captured

It was reported without confirmation at Hendaye on the French border that the Rebels had captured Granollers, but that the Loyalist troops; who retreated in disorder to the frontier, were heading southward again. | Gen. Juan Yague, veteran commander of the Moroccan corps, said today:

+ “Our advance through Catalonia’

to the French frontier is now a military parade. The enemy appears to be completely disorganized.”

Mussolini Hints at

Direct Negotiations

ROME, Jan. 28 (U. P.).—Continuing a new anti-French campaign, the newspaper Popolo di

Roma, often used for authoritative '

pronouncements, said today: “If the Mediterranean question is to be resolved peacefully negotiations must occur only: between interested powers.” There was no explanation of this statement, which on its surface would mean that Premier Mussolini had abandoned any idea—if he ever had one, as reported—of asking a four-power conference to consider Italy’s “aspirations.”

idea that the long silent British lion was beginning to roar to a definite purpose. : Whatever Mr. Chamberlain says or leaves unsaid tonight, he is to make two long statements on foreign affairs in the House of Commons Tuesday, when it meets for the first time since the Christmas recess. One will be on the talks he had recently with Premier Mussolini at Rome; the other a defense of his foreign policy in a full dress speech. In this he will be able to answer any statements affecting Britain that Herr Hitler may make to the Reichstag.

Welles Justifies

Criticism of Nazis NEW YORK, Jan. 28 (U. P.)— The New York State Bar Association, which last night heard Undersecretary of State Sumner Welles declare this country’s right to condemn any nation engaged in “cruel and inhuman treatment of human beings,” receives today from its citizenship committee “a report advocating “stfict neutrality” for this Government. The report recommends a foreign policy based on “hands-off other peoples’ business.” . Mr. Welles said there appeared to be some misunderstanding regarding the Government’s attitude toward certain European governments. “It seems to me that with regard to this issue, not only are the facts apparent, but that the traditional policy of the United States is well established,” he said.

“Right to Protest”

“The people of the United States and their Government have always maintained, and jin practice have made it clear, that they assert the right to protest and to condemn the cruel and inhuman treatment of human beings wherever such brutality occurs. “They have likewise made it clear that they. possess and’ will avail themselves of the right to protest, or if need be, challenge, the foreign policy of any other nation which threatens the peace or security of the United States, or which resuits in the violation of the treaty rights of the United States or of its nationals. ( “These traditional testéts of our national policy, however, have never involved the right on the part of this Government to condemn or to assail the form of government un‘der which other peoples may live.”

U. S. Policy Veers

Toward Democracies (John T. Flynn, Page 10)

By RAYMOND CLAPPER Times Special Writer

WASHINGTON, Jan, 28—What you have now and have had for some time is this: The Administration wants to go to the aid of Great Britain and France in their struggle against the dictators. In his annual message President Roosevelt urged that everything—short of war—be done to give these two democratic countries help. That is a question of broad national policy in which Congress should have a hand. But the policy has been put into effect by executive action. Step by step the Government is being committed. 1. The Neutrality Act was not applied in Japan’s war against China because the Administration thought that to apply it would injure China. Actually, application of the Neutrality Act might have hurt Japan much more than China. However that may be, the mandatory sections of the Neutrality Act were not applied because Administration policy was to the contrary. ' 2. Mr. Roosevelt recalled our Ambassador to Germany. Fuehrer Hitler retaliated by recalling his Ambassador at Washington. Diplomatic relations are maintained by a meager thread of formality only. 3. Congress is being urged to fortify Guam although the President proceeded upon this in face of some serious questioning within the Administration. The first step is a small harbor work project. It is only a trial balloon for real development of this island which projects into Japan’s sphere in the Pacific. The desirability of developing Guam fully into an advance fleet base depends upon what we wish to do in the Philippines and in controlling sea routes to the Easf Indies. 4. The President directed the War, Navy and Treasury Departments to assist France in obtaining military planes. Over objections of some Army officers, French experts were allowed access to new planes which the Army was considering, embodying secret devices developed partly at Government expense. The law forbids a private manufacturer from selling to other governments any equipment which the Army is considering. We reserve first call. The particular plane /which crashed recently at Los geles, carrying a French aviation expert, had not been officially /offered to the Army,

so technically the manufacturer was|: ithin ts. An effort to]

amend the law to cover that loophole will be made.

Spinach?

Why. You Can’t Even Get Cows to Eat That, Dr. Rice Told.

R. THURMAN B. RICE, for a number of years the recognized elder statesman in youth’s rebellion against eating spinach, today appeared to be outmaneuvered in his favorite strategy. Dr. Rice has become rather famous for his repeated statements that he wants no part of spinach, and doesn’t see why anyone else does. Some time ago he quipped that if your child won’t eat spinach, there’s a remedy. a » ”

EED the spinach to the cow and let the child drink the cow’s milk,” he said. Clippings of this quip came from newspapers in Paris, Australia, New Zealand, and even from the Manchester Guardian. Today came a letter from Frank Haban, Sturtevant, Wis., that he begs to differ with the good doctor on grounds that he says seem quite sufficient. “The idea is swell,” he wrote, “but a cow won’t eat spinach.” That’s the way things stand, except that Dr. Rice said his respect for the cow has increased a good deal.

expected to delay the program in the lower chamber. Health measures have moved through the House with more speed |than any other type. . Already passed and sent to the Senate is a bill to provide free medical and surgical care and hospitalization. at the I. U. Medical Center for indigents and another to authorize the State Health Department to spend $75,000 for distribution of serums and toxins to the poor in the State’s fight against pneumonia, diphtheria, typhoid and smallpox. Advanced to third reading is a House bill to require a standard blood test for expectant mothers. House and Senate measures to reenact an antinepotism law have furnished considerable verbal fireworks but as yet have not moved out of their respective committees. A joint resolution to require State and local officials: to furnish the Legislature with names of their relatives on State payrolls has passed the Senate and awaits action by the House. If the resolution is adopted by the House, the list must be filed with the Legislature by Feb. 13, with a $1000 fine provided for the name ol each relative omitted. Only two Senators, Howard V. Johnson | (R. Mooresville) and Davies Batterton (R. Greensburg), voted against the resolution and 38

voted for it. Senators Albert Fer-

ris (R. Milton) and William E. Jenner, Shoals, minority leader, introduced the original resolution to requirs all State department and institution heads to file a list of relatives on pay rolls. Senator Jacob Weiss (D. Indianapolis) introduced a substitute resolution including all local officials, which was approved. The city manager plan was provided for in a bill introduced by Senator Jenner the second day of the session, but it has been buried in committee while civic organizations decided on their attitude yesterday. Its defeat was sounded yesterday when the civic groups, headed by the Junior Chamber of Commerce, introduced resolutions setting up a study commission to report on the best method of securing the city mariager system to the next session of the Legislature. Sent to House Committee

The resolution was passed by the Sengte on a voice vote immediately after introduction. In the House, however, it was referred to Judiciary “B” committee. The resolution provides that a seven-man commission shall be ap~ pointed before July 1, 1939, and shal. prepare legislation to submit to the Governor for his approval by Oct. 1, 1940. The members, to serve without pay, would be appointed: two by the Indiana University president; two by the Purdue University president; one by the Speaker of the House; one by the Senate president, and one by the Governor, Lzbor bills have received comparatively little attention as yet with the controversial State Wageanci~Hour Bill still to be acted on by the House Labor Committee. A bill to amend the Workmen’s Compensation Law has been advanced to second reading in the Senate. The House G. O. P. majority has been most active in pushing through measures to bring the “Two Per Cent Club,” Democratic campaign fund collection agency, under

provisions of the Corrupt Practices Act, and to make the Attorney . Genéral elective. These are ready - for third reading. The real battle expected over ate" tempts of retailers to amend the gross income tax law is not yet un< derway, while farmers and employ=ers are planning a “last ditch” fight against the Wage-Hour Bill. The Senate passed this week a bill to extend the date for issuing auto license plates from Jan. 1 to” March ‘1 which is awaiting action by the House. More time is to be - required, however, before either - house comes to an agreement over proposed changes in the registration fee.

KILLS SELF AFTER WOUNDING SON, 20

Mercy Slaying Attempt on Paralytic Fails.

WEEHAWKEN, N. J., Jan. 28 (U. P.) —Leo Saluto, barely alive, grieved today for his father who had so pitied him yesterday that he tried to kill him and only succeeded in killing himself. The 20-year-old son has been crippled since childhood by infan- . tile paralysis and was bedridden by a severe cold when the father, Joseph, 50, decided it would be merciful to kill him. He used a razor on his son, then on himself. The son's wound only added to his suffering. The son awoke as the father stood . over him but was too weak to struggle... He could not even raise his arms to ward off the blow at his:: throat. When the razor struck, he collapsed. He saw his father run into the next room. and heard his body strike the floor a moment la= . ter. . When Angelina, a daughter, returned from school she found her father’s body.
