Would your excellency accept any termination of the war other than unconditional surrender of the enemy or a complete military victory; that is, a "knockout" victory A. For humanitarian and patriotic reasons I most ardently do not wish to sacrifice life, and of course I want to prevent suffering to Spain; but salvation of a unified Spain lies in complete victory; for that we are fighting and we shall soon be victorious. Our heroes and our martyrs cry out for victory, and they shall have it.

His reply to the questionnaire follows. Because of its length, the questionnaire will be handled in two installments, the second to be carried tomorrow.) BY WEBB MILLER (Copyright in all-countries, 1937, by Unitad Press) LONDON, July 13. (United Press) Only a "knockout" victory, with complete and unconditional surrender of the Valencia government, can end the Spanish civil war, Gen, Francisco Franco said in reply to a questionnaire which I submitted to him during my visit Spain to report the fall of Bilbao. The reply, in Franco's handwriting, has just arrived in London from his general military headquarters in Spain. There can be no question of an armistice or negotiations except on terms of absolute surrender of Valencia, with a preliminary handing over of all artillery and airplanes and the release of prisoners Franco declared.

The general estimated 400,000 had been "murdered" in Loyalist territory. In contrast, he staged that 4,500 had been sentenced to death and executed by the Nationalists. Nationalist tribunals sentenced 6,000 to death but 1,500 were pardoned, he declared. Regarding the possibility of a settlement without further fighting, Franco said Former Premier Leon Blum of France had requested the Intervention of eeveral countries, including the United States, to obtain an armistice but that the proposal, "which shows the desperate state of the Red government," was rejected by President Roosevelt.

(United Press) Right of the state's motor vehicle department to revoke automobile drivers' licenses was at stake today. The question arose when Judge Russell Jordan of Polk district court issued a writ of mandamus to compel Secretary of State Robert E. O'Brien to issue a temporary license to Leslie Cox, Deco-rah salesman.

The motor vehicle department is a division of the secretary of state's office. Don Burrington, assistant attorney general, said he would confer today with other members of the staff regarding action the state shall take to fight Judge Jordan's order. Judge Jordan has set Aug. 2 as the date for hearing on Fox's application for a regular license. Lew Wallace, motor vehicle com missioner, said the case is compli cated because there is no provision in the state law for temporary drivers licenses.

He explained that Cox's driver's license first was suspended indefi nitely in October, 1933, when a county attorney's information was filed charging Cox with driving while under the influence of nar cotics. Cox subsequently was turned over to federal authorities oh a narcotics charge and the state case against him was not prosecuted. In March, 1935, Cox was granted restricted license under which he was to use his automobile only for business. On Dec. 24, 1938, Cox was involved in an accident, Wallace said, and on May 28, 1937, the motor vehicle department again revoked his license indefinitely.

Recently Cox applied for a 1937-39 license but his application was rejected by the motor vehicle department. He then appealed to district court. Passage of Crop Control Bill Is Still Uncertain WASHINGTON, July 13. (Associated Press) Immediate passage of the "ever-normal" granary system and broad crop control legislation appeared uncertain today despite a recommendation from President Roosevelt. Chairman Jones Tex.) of the house agriculture committee said he agreed with the president's views, but "We can make no promise that the program will be enacted at this session." Jones said his committee will continue to work for passage.

He emphasized, however, success will depend largely on the length of time congress remains in session after the senate court debate ends. Mr Roosevelt sent letters to house and senate committees yesterday, asking sympathetic consideration of three objectives. "First, to the continuation ot the present agricultural conservation program as the foundation of the long-time plan. "Second, for the assurance of abundance for consumers by storage of substantial reserves of food for use in years of crop failure. "Third, for protection of farm prices and farm income." "It is my theory that the time to repair a roof is when the sun is shining," the president said.
