Spanish Rebels Announce Recapture of Teruel and Flight of Loyalist Forces Calls on Democracies of World to Resist Dictatorships HITS AT FANATICS' Would Strengthen 'Community of Interest' Between Britain, U. S. Washington Secretary of the Interior Ickes called on the democracies of the world today to repulse internal fascism and communism. His remarks were contained in an address prepared for delivery by invitation over the net work of the British Broadcasting corporation.

Arrangements were made for him to be heard in the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia. New Zealand, India, and the Union of South Africa. The address, arranged for delivery from Washington, inaugurated a series of British broadcasts entitled "America Speaks." The secretary said he spoke as an individual, not as a representative of the United States or the president. "Certainly," Ickes said, "with the fascist countries of the world drawing closer and closer together in an ominous and bodeful phalanx, it behooves America and all other democratic nations to prove that under a democratic form of government the highest political liberty as well as the greatest economic security will be provided." For Stronger Ties "The community of interest that exists between Britain and America, as well as between other peoples who believe in democracy," he said, "should be strengthened. "It is a fitting occasion to reaffirm our determination that we will continue to build our civilization on the firm foundations of the American constitution, which, in common with the British constitution has its roots deep in the Magna Charta.

"Here in the United States we realize that the democratic principle is having to fight to maintain itself as it has not had to fight since it first became established. "In all parts of the world it is beset by two fanatical foes, which lhave the will to conquer at all costs. Democracy can not live side by side in the same country with either fascism or communism. Democracy is the very antithesis of both of these objectionable systems of governments. Totalitarianism, either of the right or of the left, is alien to the spirit that dominates the English- Turn to page 4 col.

1 Police Foil Burglary At Sheboygan Factory Sheboygan HP) Police said today Walter Oberhuber, 18. had confessed en attempted robbery of the Herziger sausage factory here last Sunday.

Police said Oberhuber at first claimed he was hurt in a fall.

The cash register of the factory hai been smashed but no money was taken. Four Men are Sought In Hijacking of Truck Richland Center, Wis. Sheriff Ben McClaren today sought four men who he said hijacked a truck belonging to the Madison Packing company, where a strike is in progress. McClaren said the hijacking occurred at Sextonville, seven miles east of here. The truck was turned loose under its own power to run downhill into a ditch, he said.

Non-strikers last week asked Governor LaFollette for assurance they would not be molested. Several days ago two of them said they were assaulted near Madison. Fall Proves Fatal to Former Monroe Mayor Monroe (Pt Willis Ludlow, 84, former mayor of Monroe, died last night of complications following a fall last week. Ludlow was a former assemblyman, was active in the First National bank here which his father founded, and was the last charater member of the Knights of Pythias lodge founded 55 years ago. The name of merchants participating in Dollar day will be announced in tomorrow's Post-Crescent.

Banners will deck stores cooperating in Dollar day so shoppers will know where they can take advantage of the bargains. Prospects for pleasant, mild weather are heightening interest in, the day of special ptices. Merchants have made heavy reductions on certain merchandise to meet the dollar price, the feature of the sale. With more than 60 stores offering goods at special prices, shoppers will be wise in visiting as many stores as possible during the day and taking advantage of the great variety of bar- Washington Senator Sees 'Blunder' if Fund Is Too Small NEAR FINAL BALLOT Both Houses Take Time Out to Honor George Washington Washington The senate rejected today an amendment to increase the emergency relief appropriation from $250,000,000 to Senator Bone (D-Wash.) proposed the amendment, contending $250,000,000 was inadequate to finance relief for the remainder of this fiscal year. The vote was 53 to 22.

Prior to the vote Senator Byrnes (D-S. asserted the works progress administration officials had approved the original figure. Bone warned the senate, however, that "we will not be able to answer for the blunder we are making" if the appropriation proves too small. Another amendment before the senate was one by Senator Bailey (D-N. to require cities to pay one-fourth of the cost of relief projects.

Won't Cut Fund Under his proposal the president could waive that contribution if he found some communities could not advance it. A few minutes after the vote on the Bone amendment the senate shouted down an amendment by Senator Hale (R-Maine) which would have cut the appropriation to $200,000,000. Democratic leaders opposed Bailey's amendment. They defeated yesterday a proposal by Senator Hayden (D-Ariz.) to prevent construction of any building with WPA funds. Hayden indicated, however, he would renew his amendment when the regular 1939 relief appropriation comes up in a few weeks.

Debate on the emergency measure, already passed by the house, proceeded rapidly after the senate broke the legislative jam yesterday by shelving the anti-lynching bill. Both chambers, however, agreed to take time out this afternoon for the annual reading of George farewell address. When the relief bill is out of the way, the senate will debate the bill to appropriate $1,412,069,465 for expenses of the government's independent agencies. Next on the senate calendar will be the administration's government reorganization program, held over from last year. By the time action on it is completed, the house probably will have finished debating the naval expansion and tax revision measures.

This tentative schedule raised the hopes of legislators for an early adjournment, which had appeared doubtful while the senate was tied up by the southern filibuster against the anti-lynching bill. Just before the collapse of the six weeks' filibuster, which Senator Johnson (R-Calif.) called a "pink tea," Senator Norris (I-Neb.) joined the attack on the anti-lynching bill. "It would have a tendency," he said, "to rise again that slumbering monster that brought on the civil war." Elect Pecora Head of National Lawyers' Guild Washington (T) Justice Ferdinand Pecora of the New York Supreme court was unanimously elected president of the National Lawyers' guild today. Members elected to the executive board included: Frank P. Walsh, New York city, honorary chairman; Governor Elmer Benson of Minnesota; former Senator Smith W.

Brookhart of Iowa; Governor P. F. LaFollette, Wisconsin; Jerry O'Connell, Butte, Joseph Padway, Milwaukee and Herbert Mount, Milwaukee. OcliLnoli Man na Truck Strikes Culvert Oshkosh (r N. P.

Six Jews committed suicide. Four others entered hospitals suffering from nervous collapse. These facts illustrated the mounting panicky tension in this traditionally gay capital.

Vienna's gayety has been dampened for most Viennese since they learned the significance of the Berchtesgaden pact of Feb. 12, which admitted nazi influence to the government of the republic. The ban on political demonstrations, which included meetings, apparently was to curb displays by nazis celebrating the new order and counter-demonstrations by socialists. Police cordons guarded the heart of the city, including the chancellory and headquarters of the fatherland front, the sole legal political party. Students Active Nearly 1,000 patrolmen were stationed near the university and technical colleges to thwart forbidden gatherings.

Nevertheless 900 students congregated for a rally in support of Chancellor Kurt Schuschnigg, but dispersed quietly. Other groups tried vainly to stage parades celebrating the new influence of Germany's Reichsfuehrer Hitler in Austria. Last night nazis shouting "Heil Hitler" had thronged Vienna streets. Graz, Austria's second largest city, resounded with the "Horst WesseL" the nazi anthem. Also last night workers of five big Vienna factories demonstrated against the Berchtesgaden accord, while in Graz workers replied to Turn to page 2 col.

7 Rail Rate Ruling Is Held Imminent Some Form of Increase Is Expected to he Approved New York Imminence of the interstate commerce commission rail rate decision and President Roosevelt's forthcoming weekend conference to formulate administrative rail policy, today focussed financial discussions on diagnoses of and remedies for the national railroad sickness. There is general agreement in financial and governmental circles that all is not as well as it might be in the rail business, but also broad differences of opinion as to how serious the difficulties are, what caused them, and what should be done obout them. The roads as a whole during the latter part of 1937 presented an earnings picture as gloomy as that during the worst years of the depression. This has brought almost uniform expectation in financial quarters that the I. C.

C. will hand down rate increases in some form. Washington news that the president's conference would take place after the rate decision, has led to local belief that the I. C. rulin? might be expected before the end of the week.

However, in quarters not overly friendly to railway manaRement. there is skepticism as to the need for the full increases asked, based largely upon the contention railway accounting and operating methods permit a temporary showing gloomier than a broader study would warrant. Claims Liquor IJunners Operating in Michigan DetroitOV-Liquor runners arc operating again. Charles A. Parrish, chief of the enforcement division of the state liquor control commission, said today smugglers were coming into Michigan and underselling the ftate monopoly.

"We haven't any idea how far the racket has progressed," Tarnsh said. "But there is no question that immediate police attention is needed to stamp it out before it becomes a major threat to Michigan liquor control." Parrisli said state police recently stopped a car bound from Chicago to Detroit and found 23 cases of high priced whisky aboard. Three Killed as German Plane Crashes in France Versailles, Frnce crv A German mail plane nearing Le Bourget on a flight from Cologne crashed in flames today, burning to death its crew of three. The plane fell near Montmorency, just north of i Labor Party Member Demands Vote of Censure in Commons London a Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain today shouted to an angry opposition in the house of commons that the League of Na- i tions as protection against aggres-i sion was "a delusion" and de manded mat ueneva throw oil 113 "shams and pretenses." Chamberlain, striving to make his voice heard above the cries of the labor party members, who had demanded a vote of censure for his policy of making friends with Europe's dictators, cried: "We must not try to delude ourselves, and still more we must not try to delude small, weak nations that they will be protected by the league against aggression. "I know that nothing of the kind can he expected." "The league is unable to provide collective security for anybody.

Chamberlain declared. "I would stay in the league because I have faith that it will be reconstituted. Against Sanctions "But I doubt very much if the league will ever do its best work so long as its members are nominally bound to impose sanctions economic penalties or Impose- force in support of its principles "Nations that remain in the league must not be saddled with risks they are not prepared to take. "If the league would throw off the shams and pretenses which everyone sees through and come out with a declaration of what it is prepared to do, its normal force as a focus for public opinion would be multiolied at once." 1 Arthur Greenwood, vice chair. man of the opposition labor party.

moved the vote of censure, at tarkin.sr Chamberlain for the policies which brought on the dramatis resignation Sunday night of Anthony Eden as foreien secretary. Chamberlain Cheered As a result of that resignation, said Greenwood, "the fate of the world rests in the trembling hands of the prime minister." Chamberlain was given a two-minute ovation by his supporters as he rose to reply to his foes. The house saw its most turbulent scenes in years as leaders of the opposition heckled Chamberlain, some shouting, "you should resign now:" Reiterating that it was essential to talk friendship with Italy now, the prime minister said in a voice that sank almost a whisper: "There may come a time when some one who occupies the position I hold today will have to face again the awful responsibility of ansvlier-ing this question will you plunge your country into war? "I pray that this responsibility will not fall on me But does not an equally heavy responsibility on a man who feels as I do that if we do not take action we may presently be faced with that frightful question and who feels that by taking action we shall do something to avert it? Trime Minister Angered "I would be failing in my duty if I failed to take that action now as I have done" There was a tense moment when Philip John Noel-Baker, labor member, rushed to the barrier and demanded to know if the league was not the same as always except that now "the aggressor Italy" was out of it. The prime minister was visibly ancry. The labor motion of censure deplored the circumstances of Eden's dramatic resignation Sunday Turn to page 2 coL 2 Youth Killed, Four Other Captured After Gun Battle Chicago i.

They were met viii return fire several times. A Chicago squad attempted to question the boys sitting In a sedan near a jewelry store on the far si'UUi side. The sedan sped awny and the pursuing police said they were fired upon. The chase at speed3 up to 63 miles an hour went along main and side roads. It ended when the fugitive car spun three tune on ice, landing ta a snowbank.

surgents took possession of Teruel itself. Insurgent Morrocan, Navarrese and Galician troops were reported pressing hard on the heels of the retreating government army. Earlier, the government command had sent fresh troops and planes into the area lo relieve the besieged garrison of the Aragon capital and check the insurgent drive eastward. Franco In Charge The ancient city has been the focal point of the Spanish civil war for two months while government forces have struggled to prevent the insurgents from driving a wedge through their territory to the Mediterranean coast. Re-entry of Generalissimo Francisco Franco's troops into the strategically situated provincial capital was brought about by a lightninglike offensive launched late last week.

Franco himself directed the final operations. The insurgents gradually regained possession of dominating positions outside the city and clinched its fate by driving a circle around it Saturday. City Being Shelled Dispatches from Barcelona said government forces still held important positions in the vicinity of Teruel from which they were shelling the city. These reports said the main body had checked its retreat and established positions at Puerto Escandon, a few miles to the south. Shortly before the re-occupation of Teruel was announced, insurgents declared their infantry had overcome machine-gun fire, stormed the bull ring, and pushed into the provincial capital with its complete recapture "imminent." A tightened ring about Teruel was said to have made retreat of the government garrison impossible.

With insurgents in the suburbs, the government army exploded mines tunnelled under areas held by insurgent troops. While the government troops were in retreat, advices from their commanders said they were yielding so slowly that the retreat actually was a victory because insurgents sustained terrific losses. Vole Extension of Farm Debt Moratorium to 1910 Washington The senate completed congressional action today on legislation extending until March 4, 1940, the Frazier-Lemke farm debt moratorium act. Without the extension bill, which now goes to the White house, the act would have expired March 4. The senate previously had voted to make the act permanent, but Senator Frazier CR-Ind.) said today the shortness of time prompted sponsors of the bill to accept the two year house bill.

The Frazier-Lemke law forbids, in certain instances, foreclosures on farm mortgages for a three-year period. Farmers taking advantage of the act are required to pay creditors "rent" determined by federal courts. ASTRONOMER DIES Pasadena, Calif.

Additional Rainfall Adds To Problem of WPA Pine Bluff, Ark. Nearly workers fought today to save levees around this city from the pounding of the flood-swollen Arkansas river. Renewed rainfall added to the problem confronting WPA workers rushed to the endangered area. The principal danger point was at a bend in the river north of the city, where a creva-sse in the levee threatened inundation of railroad shops. Emergency crews dumped tons of gravel and rock into the swollen stream just above the crevasse, attempting to deflect the current and relieve the pressure on the weak spot.

The Arkansas was falling west of Little Rock but the crest of 32 feet was not expected here until tomorrow. What effect the recurring rains would have was a matter of conjecture but weather bureau officials at Little Rock said "it will take a lot more rain than this" to have any effect on the falling streams. The American Red Cross was feeding about 1,500 families. Albert Evans, disaster relief director, said the total probably would increase to 2,000 or 2,500. About 150 refugees still were to be brought out of bottom lands near Newport in north Arkansas, where two levee breaks inundated more than 25,000 acres.

Way Cleared for Wright Freedom Slayer of Wife and Friend Won't le Liberated For Five Davs Los Angeles Paul A. Wright, slayer of his wife and friend, John Kimmel, remained in the county psychopathic ward today but the last barrier to his ultimate freedom has been cleared. Superior Judge Ben B. Lindsey held yesterday that Wright is sane, therefore entitled to return to life among his fellow men. However, he said he could not liberate him for five days, to give the district attorney's office an opportunity to move for a jury trial on his present mental condition.

J. Miller Leavy, deputy district attorney, said such action would be "ridiculous. This hearing settles the matter as far as the district attorney's office is concerned." Wright was convicted of manslaughter by a superior court jury for shooting his wife and Kimmel Nov. 9. The same jury, trying him on his plea of innocent by reason of insanity, decided he was not sane when he slew the couple.

Under California law, this verdict automatically erased the manslaughter conviction. The hearing yesterday was to determine Wright's present sanity. Orders Inquest Into Mail Carrier's Death Beloit il Coroner Warren IveS of Winnebago county, Illinois (Rockford) said an inquest would be hald tomorrow in the death of Daniel Kelley, 66, Beloit rural mail carrier whose body was found yesterday in the Sugar River forest preserve, 12 miles southwest of Beloit in Winnebago county. Kelley had been missing since Jan. 17.

The body was found by two farmers. Captain Leo Tuller and Detective Herbert Schultz of the Beloit police said Kelley had been dead a long time, since his body was frozen to the ground. They said they believed he died from heart disease. An earlier report of foul play because cf a mark on Kelley head was discounted. Hendaye, France, at the Spanish Frontier CP) The Spanish insurgent command today officially announced the recapture of Teruel and the flight of government forces fi'om the bitterly contested city.

Insurgent officers, disputing government reports that the entire Teruel garrison had fought its way to safety, declared large numbers of republican troops surrendered and more than 1,000 had been killed. Incomplete reports of the actual battle merely said the government army was falling back after the in- 5 Bombing Planes Land at Santiago Flying Homeward From Good Will Journey to Buenos Aires Santiago, Chile Five big United States army bombing planes, homeward bound from a good will flight to Buenos Aires, arrived at 10:58 a. m. (C. S.

today at Los Cerrillos airdrome here. They made the transcontinental crossing from Buenos Aires, over the lofty Andes chain, in 4 hours 51 minutes. The planes were to remain here overnight. Buenos Aires (T) Five United States Army bombers, which flew from Miami, to the inauguration of President Ortiz of Argentina, took off for home at 6:07 a. m.

C.S.T. today. The sixth of the bombers, the B-82, was unable to depart. The take-off ended a four-day visit in the Argentine capital where the "good will mission" had been hailed enthusiastically. The officers and crew members took many gifts as well as a response by President Ortiz to the greetings they bore him from President Roosevelt.

The B-82, commanded by Captain Archibald Y. Smith, was delayed when one of its wheels sank through concrete covering an underground fuel tank at El Palomar military airbase. Its crew, aided by Argentine mechanics, tried to free the plane but found no jack heavy enough. An emergency call was sent for a railroad jack. The flight home will be made in easy stages.

"In view of the aggravated condition of world affairs," wrote Kastner, "I believe it to be fully within your discretion to discourage the introduction in Milwaukee of these alin doctrines which are so detrimental to the orderly administration of our own affairs."
