CP) Spanish authorities, seeking to halt political dsturbances which have claimed five lives in the last two days, began a wholesale roundup of members of the illicit Fascist party tonight. Several hundred followers of the militant sector of Jose Antonio Primo de Rivera's Fascist party were arrested. The government struck out in a stern attempt to prevent further disorders as two new fatalities today were added to three deaths in rioting yesterday. Business Paralyzed. A general strike paralyzed business in the capital and an undetermined number of persons was injured in scattered clashes.

Eloy Gomez Fernandez and his brother, Antonio, died at the hands of three gunmen who fired on them as they left their home. Both were members of a family of five brothers, all allied with the Fascist party and all threatened with death recently because of their political activities. A heavy guard was thrown around the bulding where the Cortes (Parliament) was in session after reports persisted in the lobbies that the army was becoming more indignant over the number of recent disorders.

In his message, Mr. Roosevelt said "Our records show that the results achieved in the protection and improvement of our timbered domain, in the arrest of soil wastage, in the development of needed recreation areas, in wild life conservation and in flood control have be-n as impressive as the results achieved in the rehabilitation of youth. "Through your spirit and industry it has been demonstrated that young men can be put to work in our forests, parks and fields on projects which benefit both the nation's youth and conservation generally." At the time the CCC was being set up, the President said, "I predicted that through the CCC we would graduate a fine group of stronjj young men, trained to self-discipline and willing and proud to work." Tree Leader Sends Thanks. Adding that he had not "misjudged the loyalty, the spirit, the industry or the temper of American youth," Mr. Roosevelt said camp life had improved the health and the morale of the enrollees and that the l.loO.OOO graduates were "alert and eager for the opportunity to make good in any kind of honest employment."
