Yesterday, government soldiers, moving behind a protecting phalanx of tanks, pushed up to the insurgents' seminary-fortress, blew up barricades of wheat sacks at the doors and thrust through the building throwing hand grenades. Teh defenders held out to the last and then retreated to the adjacent court yard of the Santa Anna convent and thence to other hiding places. Government advices said both the convent and the semiary were in flames.

One was brought by Elvin Bright, 601 Kammer in which he gtts up the claim of insolvency and asks judgment for $275 and the other was brought by Georga M. Overman, treasurer, who Beeks $2.10 allegedly due as a salary claim, setting up that he is the owner of 40 shares of the com pany's stock. Both ask for dissolution of tha company averring that they have asked for an accounting, which has been refused.

The receivership applications will be heard Jan. 4. i v- (conditions in llie upper Aragon In another section of the old quarter the civil governor's palace, one of the two remaining places of refuge for the insurgents, was today permitted a resumption of military activity all along the battle front. A LT still burning, a midnight communique reported, and the insurgents there soon would be forced into the open by flames. Yesterday's aerial combat started when 12 twin-motored insurgent planes roared against Teruel but were held off by anti-aircraft batteries which shot down one.

In the afternoon four squadrons of government aircraft engaged rival pursuit planes west of Teruel. Three insurgent planes and one government ship fell in 15 minutes. The weakness of insurgent aviation throughout the government's two-week Teruel offensive caused government officials to remark that insurgents appeared lacking in equipment, on that front at least. (Insurgent land forces, thrusting at the heights which dominate1 the city they had held for 17 months of the civil war, were reported to have been ordered by Generalissimo Francisco Franco to retake the city "regardless of The government command was said to have prepared to trap the insurgent army if radioed appeal for delivery from the insurgent garrison should lead it into a precipitous assault. Government sources said that was the reason no effort had been made to sifrnre the field radio being used by the besieged Teruel garrison.

Government artillery shelled Huesca yesterday, reporting several direct. Insurgent batteries replied, but no great damage was admitted. Government artillery just north of Teruel laid down heavy fire in an effort to halt the insurgent counter-attack on the captured city, where about 6000 insurgent soldiers and civilians were still holding out.

The government said insurgent troops made several desperate attempts to break through lines around Teruel, but were checked. Government troops closed in today for occupation of two dynamite-battered bulidings from which the insurgent garrison of Teruel had blazed defiance for a week. At the same time the insurgent army which lost the stratic provincial capital to the government surprise offensive made desperate efforts to recover it by mastery of the air. Four insurgent planes were brought down in flames yesterday in a spectacular air battle out-maneuvered and beaten off in two attempts to break through the government's air defenses. The insurgents hoped to use their aerial strength in ousting government forces now in full control of Teruel except for two thick-walled buildings, believed to house the 3000-man garrison and an equal number of civilians.

The besiegers had reduced by one the number of insurgent fastnesses in the old quarter of the city. The besieged still clung to Disclosures Promised In State Probe COLUMBUS, Dec. 20. A senatorial investigating committee promised new disclosures today in state liquor monopoly operations after hearing evidence that a liquor department inspector also operated an agency for nearly two years in asserted violation of the law. Former Senator James Metzenbaum of Cleveland, committee counsel, scheduled a public hearing to air another of what he called "the almost limitless number of phases of this department's conduct that should not be condoned." He said the scheduled hearing depended upon the availability of desired witnesses whose identities he declined to reveal.

Willard V. Archer, 35-year-old non-practicing attorney of Belle Valley, Noble co. village, testified at the committee's first public hearing last night that he was appointed a liquor department inspector on Jan. 2, and received an agency to sell liquor on commission about two weeks later. He collected more than $12,500 in salary, expenses and commissions from the state from the dual connection, vouchers introduced by Metzenbaum showed.

The committee counsel promptly quoted a section of the law prohibiting employes of the department from having a "financial interest" in the sale of liquor. "Here is a very apparent, plain and admitted violation of the law," said Metzenbaum. Then he turned to Archer with: "Can you tell us why you were permitted to break the law, why Alfred Humphrey (chief enforcement officer) and J. W. Miller (department director) approved these payments to you in obvious violation of the law?" "I have no answer," Archer replied.

"I still don't know what they should or shouldn't do." The witness was questioned closely about "electioneering" while receiving a state salary and traveling at state expense but denied any improper activities. He obtained a recommendation for a liquor agency from Clarence Graham, "a personal friend," Archer said. "Isn't he (Graham) the state Democratic central committeeman from the 15th district?" asked Senator Verner E. Metcalf Washington). "Honestly, I didn't know that," Archer replied.

Archer said he was told about three weeks ago that "I would have to quit one job or another" and that his resignation as inspector was filed with the department this week to become effective Jan. 1. His agency permit expires next month. Archer's agency is the only one in Noble co. because, he said, "it's about the only wet spot." Agencies are established in communities unable to maintain a state liquor store profitably.

The dishwasher, police said they were informed, was in a cafe booth with his wife, Mary. Suddenly he drew a pistol and shot her in the arm. With her husband in pursuit, firing wildly, she fled.

Aranda rushed into a barbershop nearby, seized a pair of scissors, ran through a pool hall, and into another eating place, slashing as he went.

Maybe it was one of the 23,000 cards, which the Dayton postoffice was unable to deliver because of wrong or illegible addresses.

George Wamsley, a clerk, is shown above with a few of the 25,000. 1'ostmaster Clarence N. Greer pointed out that all of these 25,000 cards bore only cent and a half stamps (third class mail) and did not receive the directory and forwarding service accorded first class mail. Each of the 25,000 cards was inspected, and those bearing writing were burned. The others will be sold as waste paper.

In those cases where money was found in the envelopes, the letters and cards were forwarded to the dead letter office. In addition to these cards, the Dayton postoffice has on. hand about 100 packages, which are un-deliverable because of wrong addresses. These will be sent to the dead letter office at Cincinnati, to be sold later at auction. tors are paid 6 per cent commission on sales.

Metzenbaum told the committee Slate Auditor Joseph T. Ferguson should be asked to make a finding for recovery of money paid illegally to Archer and that, in his opinion, officials of the liquor department or their bondsmen could be forced to refund it through a civil suit. The committee's first public hearing closely followed announcement by Gov. Martin L. Davey that he would ask the legislature to create a nine-member commission for a sweeping investigation of "everything and Two morning and two afternoon addresses Wednesday occupied attention of WPA teachers employed in the federal adult education program, as the three-day conference and discussion arranged by Glen Chalfant, director of the program, entered its second day at the Y.

(At Henri Tricot, husband of Roger Million's plump brunette mistress, was held for investigation today after he told police that Million was "certainly implicated" in the slaying of Jean De Koven, a 22-year-old dancer from Brooklyn. During the questioning of Tricot police sent a squad to search his Paris apartment. The search resulted in w-hat was described officially as "discoveries of highest importance." Detectives predicted several new arrests would be made in connection with the St. Cloud murder-for-profit ring of which Miss De Koven was a victim last July. Eugene Weidmann, the German ex-convit who confessed strangling the Brooklyn girl, had named Million as the "brains" of the gang and said Million hired him as executioner.

Million and his mistress, Colette Tricot, surrendered about three weeks ago. The essentials of Tricot's statement were kept secret but police indicated much of his evidence concerned the part his wife played in relation to the gang.

These two organs relax and let in pneumonia germs which they ordinarily keep from entering the lungs. India ink, placed in the noses of rats, supplied the first clew to the pneumonia germ trail. Much more of the ink was drawn into the lungs of intoxicated or chilled rats by way of the windpipe than in normal rats.
