EVERETT, Wash., Jan. 15, (UP) Belief that the kidnaper-slayer of 10-year-old Charles Mattson still is hiding in the vicinity of Everett increased today as investigators accumulated new evidence indicating that virtually all phases of the crime occurred near this city. Pieces of clothing, believed to have been worn by the Tacoma schoolbay when he was stolen from his home Dec. 27 today were included with an abandoned automobile and a machinist’s hammer as the three most important clues yet discovered since the boy’s frozen body was found in a snow-covered field six miles south of here. As G-men received reports of numerous arrests of "suspects” throughout the west, they agreed that more than one person was involved in the
crime.
The clothes, which today spurred investigators to new vigilance in their manhunt, were found in an abandoned shack five miles south of

MADRID, Jan. 15, (UP)—Driving southward toward Leon, held by nationalists, the Asturian miners and Leon volunteers have cut the La Robra-Matallana railway, and destroyed 500 yards of track on tho Matallana-Vecilla line, loyalist army headquarters reported today. Two important posts on the La Robra highway, near Matallana, have been occupied by loyal troops which now dominate the town, it was claimed. Matallana is on the banks of the Torio river, about 50 miles north of Leon and occupied a strategic sector between the towns of La Robra and La Vecilla. The Santander militia has occupied Pojar mountain in the El Ponquon district, ousting the rebels with many casualties, it was announced. On the Teruel front, the insurgent forces continued a strong attack today. Continuing harrassing tactics all along the line, the government forces permitted no let up in their pressure on the insurgents that would permit them to gather forces in peace for the expected new offensive. Smashing the University City barricades in a surprise attack, the government militia recaptured the administration building and began refortifying it as a loyalist strong point from which to launch future attacks. Nearly 300 casualties were reported. The Basque militia made an attack against the Clinico hospital, where a small detachment of fascist troops have been besieged for several weeks, blowing up one of the wings and driving the insurgents into other parts of the building.

Exorbitant Cost Of New Location
MAY CAUSE NATIONAL HOAD TO BE ROUTED SOUTH OF BRAZIL
Preparations for straightening and widening of the National road west of Brazil is at a standstill, due to the prices asked by the owners of the properties that will he involved In locating the new line. Representatives of the Indiana state highway commission appeared before the Brazil Chamber of Commerce Wednesday night, and intimated that the road would be taken entirely out of Brazil, to the south, if the right of way could not be secured along the proposed new route, west from that city to Miami, a distance of six or seven miles. If the change is made, the present road, abandoned in favor of the new location, would be tinned back to the county commissi mers for maintenance by them, or else abandoned by them, in turn. The state is seeking to buy a strip of land 120 feet wide for their new location. One of the state highway commission men informed the Chamber of Commerce that the chairman of the commission said it would cost more to widen the old road wes.t of Brazil, even if the electric road were moved off it, than it would cost to buy the new right of way, due to the fact that many houses would have to be moved hack, along the old route.
HAS GRIP ON ASSEMBLY
INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 15, (UP) — The administration’s firm grip on the state legislature became more apparent than ever today when many members frankly admitted they were withholding bills until they were seen by Gov. M. Clifford Townsend. Others indicated they were awaiting introduction of his measures to expedite action on them before cluttering up the docket with minor proposals. Townsend’s preoccupation with the automobile industry labor troubles and the innumerable details which beset a n«v governor have sidetracked the amount of consideration he is able to give to the legislature. But it appears that his admonition to hold new legislation to a minimum if; being observed. Consequently, legislative conferences in the governor’s office evidently are designed to wave a preliminary veto over unnecessary or undesirable bills. Also despite his assertions that he will let the legislature legislate, Townsend seems to be taking a fairly firm hold over what he will let the assembly act upon. Indications were that the legislature would adjourn totlay for the weekend with only a perfunctory session. probably confined to introduction of a few bills and reception of committee reports.

"The Vandalia bridge at Reelsville remained standing, but tne track for a mile this side was carried away. “Rev. Mr. Curry was to have preached at Fincastle Sunday, going from this city, but he was stopped by the flooded Ramp crek and did not get back here until Tuesday. "The valley of Little Walnut showed the effects of the disaster. Among the heaviest losers are Zimri Manker, J. R. M. Hamrick, Nelson Wood, Jonathan Stoner, Ed Huffman and John Anderson. "In the midst of the waters of all our streams could be seen ground hogs, rabbits, skunks, snakes, grasshoppers, on trees, rails and stakes. "The I. & St. L.
