"We stand on our record," he said, "and call for an investigation of Nazi activities In this country, which exposing Nazi polnfout the need for action against It Instead of attacking the organizations formed for the purpose of taking such action." The artists' committee was reported to have bought 18 automobiles for Loyalist Spain and $15,000 of medical supplies for the Chinese.

Herbert C.

Ph. 2114 Reorganized Government Fleet Claims Great Victory TJENDAYE, France (at the Span J-Msh Frontier), Aug. 16.

(A. Government General Jose Miaja unleashed a sudden furious counterattack against the insurgent south ern army today and recaptured a railway tunnel on the line leading to Almaden's valuable mercury mines in southwestern Spain. Government dispatches indicated Insurgent General Quiepa de Llano's drive had been blocked at least temporarily by the reorganized government force. The tunnel, a few miles outside the town of Cabeza del Buey, cuts through a mountain of the same name which is a koypoint in the insurgent thrust toward Almaden. As the insurgents prepared new attacks, the government struck with tanks leading their men along a hillside to the tunnel's mouth.

In fantrymen stormed and captured the eastern end of the tunnel and then crossed to take positions at the other mouth. Spanish government and Insurgent Spanish government and insurgent warplanes battled viciously today for the upper hand in the 22-day battle in the blistering Ebro river valley of southern Catalonia. Three apparently reorganized government air squadrons not only met insurgent planes on equal terms but adopted the insurgent tactics of bombing and machine-gunning troops on the ground. In two days of battle with an insurgent fleet of 42 German and Italian-made craft, at least 34 planes on both sides were reported shot down. Official dispatches from each faction reported the other had lost many ilanes while minimizing Its own osses.

In one battle in which the overnment maintained 21 insurgent machines were downed and none of ts own wrecked, the insurgents said 13 government planes were lost against two of theirs. It was notable, however, that the rovernment reports were the first laims of aerial victories to be made by the government in many weeks. The insurgent counteroffensive at the great bend of the Bero in the andesa sector apparently was suffering under the government's air attacks particularly in the Pandols mountains, south of Gandesa, which Insurgent Generalissimo Francisco Franco was reported officially to have cleaned out. Insurgent dispatches yesterday, however, said mopping up operations were continuing. Thousands of men, nearly 100 tanks and more than 200 pieces of artillery struggled for mastery.

In southwestern Spain the Insurgent drive on Almaden, about 65 miles north of Cordoba, and its rich mercury mines also was losing headway although slight advances were reported. LOYALISTS' MINE BLASTS MOORS FROM CITY OUTPOST MADRID, Aug. 16.

A large number of insurgent troops, mostly Moors, was said to have been killed. The building blown up was an old pigeon shooting gallery, once owned by the National Shooting Club. Government sources said the Insurgents were driven back to their second and third trench lines after a half-hour machine gun and hand- bomb attack which followed the explosion. The blast had such force that the shock was felt more than a mile away. Some persons living near the University City sector were thrown from their beds.

SIX OTHERS SAFE AFTER FORCED BAY (Associated Press Leased Wire) AN DIEGO, Aug. struck twice among- the navy's warplanes in "routine" maneuvers leaving five fliers dead and four injured today.

Stockburger, Wood declared the director of finance and chairman of the land commission "knew of the 1936 Huntington Beach matters long ago."

THIRD TERM (Associated Press Leased Wire) TOS ANGELES, Aug.

fr. O'Connell, renominated Democratic congressman of Montana, asserted today that President Roosevelt will be forced to run for a third term, whether or not he wants to, because "there is no one now in sight who could successfully carry on his program." O'Connell said the President is determined to pass measures for government use and control of money jn credit, and a plan for industrial expansion through co-operation of government, business and labor. "The broad base of the plan would call for the production of goods aijd rendering of services under an economy of plenty, rather than an economy of scarcity," he said. The Montana visitor predicted to interviewers that the House liberal bloc would be increased by 15 or more new members In the November elections. "We've lost only Maverick of our approximate 100 members, and 60 already" had won renominatlons, tantamount to election." O'Connell was caustic in his comment on the Dies committee's subversive activities Investigation.
