The file will be bound and will rest there for 2000 years." Valsetz citizens were pleased, but definitely not surprised.

They've been shock-proof ever since the fall of 1937, when Dorothy Anne founded the Star and enunciated its policy.

Alliance Foreseen LONDON, March (U.P.) Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain indicated today that Great Britain's plan for a four "stop Hitler', front includes con crete measures against any future aggression in Europe.

Although the prime minister did not say that a military allianc? was proposed, he declared that Britain's proposals to France, POland and Soviet Russia go beyond plans for mere consultation ir event of aggression. It had been understood that the British plan called for a declaration by the four powers that they would consult on action to be taken in event of future aggression. Poland, however, refused to join such a declaration aimed at Hitler unless Britain, France and Russia gave her strong military guarantees of support in the event of an attack by Germay. Hugh Dalton, laborite, asked Chamberlain whether Britain would join other powers in aiding Poland in event of aggression against that country. Chamberlain declined to answer, but said: "But I do say this--that His Majesty's government has made it perfectly clear to other governments with whom they are in consultation what His Majesty's government is prepared to do."

Beleaguered Inhabitants Rejoice At End of Bitter Spanish Siege MADRID, March rebel troops of General Francisco Franco took this Spanish capital today, there was a manifest air of rejoicing in the city.

Republican troops, who had been fraternized with rebels in the trenches outside the city proper, had left their posts during the night. The beginning of the end started yesterday. By night, the republican soldiers, knowing that defense was futile, began to leave their posts. All night long, troops swarmed into the city from all sectors of the Madrid front. By mid-morn- ing the republican trenches were deserted.

The surrender of the city was formally completed when Col. Pena Council Delays Decision Upon Boxing Revenue Not until next Monday will the Marshfield city council decide who gets how much of the city's boxing commission revenue, councilmen decided last night following discussion of a request by Coos Bay post no. 17 of American Legion for division of commission revenue as is provided by law. Precipitating the discussion was a letter from M. W.

Skipworth, Legion post commander, asking that 60 per cent of all earnings by the boxing commission be divided on a pro rata basis among the various veteran organizations, according to paid-up membership. Ten years ago, the Legion voted to contribute its share of boxing commission money to the city's community chest, and nothing has been done since, this system of distribution having been followed since that D.

Prios Capatel of the 18th brigade of the all-Spanish first division. Franco designated Capatel to enter the city first and take over military command temporarily. The radio broadcast continuous announcements. They were interspersed by military marches. Streets were clogged with cheering, singing throngs.

The troops of occupation were warmly welcomed. Refugees, many. of whom had sought safety in foreign embassies since November of 1936 began leaving and mingling with the people in the streets. Thousands who feared reprisals had fled by truck to the coast. Col.

Prada, commander of the University City sector, broadcast the army's last order, instructing the republican troops to lay down their arms and ending with the cry, "Arriba Espana!" (up Spain). News of the occupation was ed throughout Spain and resulted in popular celebrations everywhere. Flags were broken out and church bells rung. Men of the legendary nationalist "fifth column" -named in the early days of the war when the nationalists boasted that they had four columns of armies in the field and a fifth in Madrid, waiting to rise up and sieze the city-turned into the streets shouting jubilantly for Generalissimo Francisco Franco. The police watched them calmly.

All thought of the hatred which for more than years had sent Spaniard against Spaniard was gone, MARKET GLANCES Stocks lower in dull trading. Bonds lower; U. S. Governments irregularly higher. Curb stocks lower.

The American Federation of Labor has been demanding consideration of the proposed amendments, while the Congress of Industrial Organizations had been urging further delay. The committee previously had agreed to several postponements to give AFLCIO peace negotiators an opportunity to mage progress. Committee Chairman Albert D. Thomas, Utah, announced that Sen.

Robert F. Wagner, N.Y., author of the act, will be first witness when hearings begin. The committee unanimously approved the nomination of Elmer Andrews as administrator of the wage-hours act. Andrews was introduced to committee members before the vote. The senate probably will act on the nomination I tomorrow.

Andrews has been serving under a recess appointment. Sen. Allen J. Ellender, sponsored the motion to begin the Wagner act hearings April 11. "We expect the hearings to be concluded in time for congress to act on the proposed amendments at this session," he said.

"I don't think the hearings will require more than three weeks of actual sitting." Thomas said that after hearing Wagner, the committee will hear proponents of the various amendments' submitted, including Sens. Edward R. Burke, vigorous critic of the NLRB, David I. Walsh, who introduced the AFL-sponsored amendments, Rufus C. Holman, and M.

M. Logan, Representatives of the NLRB, of business and labor organizations, will be heard later. Ellender said the AFL-CIO peace negotiators have been given two weeks in which to make progress without having to be confronted by open hearings on the controversial amendments, and that there is no reason for further delay.

The white flag of surrender and the red and gold banner of the rebels fluttered from the tallest buildings and appeared in windows everywhere. It was understood tonight that republican forces in all sectors, including the 20th army manning the Valencia area on the east coast had been ordered to withdraw to avoid useless bloodshed. Franco broadcast over the Madrid radio today a promise of full pardon for all republican soldiers not guilty of "crimes." RESISTANCE ENDS The civil war, which cost approximately 1,000,000 dead, untold agony to the population, and destruction which will take generations to repair, was over after two years, eight months and 11 days. Republican resistance was collapsing everywhere. A rebel radio.

On the Toledo front, the rebels entered Aranjuez, taking 5,000 prisoners, They made a headlong advance on the Cordoba front, capturing town after town. Madrid was captured without the firing of a shot. The population, half-starved and weary of incessant bombardment by air bombs and artillery through many dreadful months, rejoiced that peace had come.

He braved arrest to continue his task. Besteiro announced over the radio: "I will continue by the side of the Madrilenos until the last moment "I will faithfully carry out the plan drawn up by the council of defense.
