"THE EMPORIA GAZETTE VOLUME XLV1I 14 SECTIONS SECTION ONE F-MPORIA, KANSAS, MONDAY EVENING, APRIL 5, Favors Creation Of A Permanent CCC President Recommends 300,000 Member in Menage to COB- greii. DEADLINE NOW JUNE 30 On Fourth Anniversary of CCC, Roosevelt Praises Work of The Organiaztion. April 5 Roosevelt recommended to congress today, on the fourth anniversary of the CCO, the creation of a permanent Civilian Conservation Corps of 300,000 members; Under present law the corps, created April 5, 1933, as a. means of employing youths on such projects as reforestation, road building and park development, will expire on June 30, 1837. Actual CCC enrollment at the time is about 300,000 men, cluding war veterans as well as the young men recruited from scores of American cities.

In his message to congress the President praised the work of the corps and said that its continued functioning would not be contrary to normal progress toward recovery. "There is still need," he said, "for providing useful and healthful employment for'a large number of our youthful citizens." "I am convinced," he added, "that' there is ample useful work in- the- protection, restoration and development of our national resources, upon which the services of the corps may be employed advantageously for an extensive period. "It should be noted that this pro- grain will not in any respect reduce normal employment opportunities for our adult workers; in fact, the purchase of simple materials, of food and clothing and of other supplies required for the operations of the corps tends to increase employment in industry." Proposes 300,000 Limit. The Chief Executive' suggested a permanent organization "of; 300,000 youths (and war with 10,000 Indians and 5,000 enroll ees in our territories and Insular possessions." He said "these numbers represent the maximum expected enrollment." "To go beyond number at he added, "would' open new and difficult classifications, of enrollment, and 'the. additional would 'seriously- affect 'the.

financial position; ol: the; treasury." The ''corps at present, officials has total of about 300,000 men In about 2,000 camps scattered over the country- It has authorization, a strength of 350,000 men and the officials said they expected to it to this full membership during the present quarter which started April 1. They said that if the individual camps are maintained at their present theoretical strength of 200 men the.number of camps will have to be reduced by about 500. CCC Camps Hold Open House.

WON'T CONDEMN Senate Rejects Amendment nouncingr Strike Policy. De- Washington, April 5 The senate refused today to write a condemnation of sit-down strikes into the Guifey-Vinson coal bill. It rejected an amendment denouncing Eit-downs as "illegal and contrary to sound public policy." The vote was 48 to 38. The amendment was introduced by Senator Byrnes (D-SC) and was fought bitterly by administration leaders who claimed that any senate expression on sit-down strikes should be marie In an Independent resolution and not in connection with the coal bill. Defeat of the Byrnes amendment climaxed several days of debate in which some adherents of quick vote on the proposal argued the senate should not sidestep or delay the strike issue for any reason.

At the start of today's session Byrnes refused to withdraw his demand for an immediate vote. Senator McGill (D-KanV against the amendment. voted TO STEADY BOND MARKET -ELECTION RETURNS. Because of the great interest in the 'resulte of the city, election Tuesday, The Gazette returns over the telephone.

These candidates emerged from the city primary victors in a field of four, with only 13 votes difference, and since that day both have been struggling for an advantage. Equalling the city commissioner race, if not surpassing it in interest, is the milk ordinance issue.

This question Is on the ballot a result of petitions for an amending ordinance which would permit the production and sale of Grade milk. The milk campaign has been bitter and this issue alone, it is believed, would have been sufficient-to draw a heavy vote. To Vote on Two Buildints.

Madrid, April 5 The government's southern army turned tho insurgent left flank north of Cordoba today, capturing the village of La Granjuela and opening the way for direct attack on the Penarroya coal mines. The sweeping movement arotiad the northern end of Gen. Gonzalo Qucipo de Llano's insurgent array cut the railroad running between Belmez, just south of the coal fields, and Castillo dc Almarchon, division point linking the branch line that serves tlie HcUiu and the trunk line to the deeply held insurgent territory to the west. The successful maneuver, part of a pivotal turning action against the entire Insurgent line, further hampered de Llano's communications from his Cordoba base. The fall of La Granjuela followed the capture of Valsequillo, three miles to the north, which had been the first objective of the flanking columns.

So precipitous was the government descent on Valsequillo Sunday morning that the insurgent garrison fled leaving their breakfasts still cooking in the field kitchens. More than 40 prisoners were captured in the storming ol the town. The first touch of spring found the government forces taking the major portion of the offensive action for the first time in the eigh" and one-half months of the war. Around Madrid, the government army was making slow but steady progress on the Guadalajara iron to the northeast, penetrating d-iep er into Avila provinca to the north west and. pushing the enemy back from the Corunna highway nutting through the Guadarrama moun tains.

On the far southern coast, tlv insurgents were reported being pressed back while in the north th Basque miners were on the offen in. Asturias and a strong army was advancing against Bur gos, one capital-of the irisur gent regime.

Insurgent columns stormed th mountain peaks ringing after occupying Ochandiano, com- manderi declared, and took control of the. villages of Olaeta, Verderin and Monchategus.

The thrust carried the insurgent front line three miles further toward their immediate objective of Durango, from which Mola's army could roll 16 miles downhill toward Bilbao over paved highways.
