VOLUME XXXIX THE BEND BULLETIN, BEND, OREGON, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, MARCH 31, 1937 NO. 98 REBELS FLEE UNDER ATTACK OF LOYALISTS Madrid Leaders Hope to Spring Trap SHOW CONFIDENCE Strife Among Supporters of Franco Cheers Government By Jan Yindrich (United Staff Correspondent) Madrid, March 31 (LP) -A large portion of General Francisco Franco's southern army faced possible annihilation in the Sierra Morena mountain passes north of Cordoba today where four loyalist columns were seeking to encircle them, army dispatches reported.

The insurgent army, defeated at Alcaracejos despite, its 10,000 German and reinforcements, in what the loyalist high command said had been "another battle of the Marne," fled toward the Chimorra mountains. Harassed by loyalist artillery and aviation. the rear guard of the retreating army was reported trapped on the Cordoba highway while its advance elements neared the strategic Puerto Catraveno in the mountains, eight miles south of Alcaracejos. Loyalist army reports said the fleeing Italian and German troops showed increasing signs of disorganization. Loyalist aviation bombed and machine-gunned them incessantly.

Two loyalist columns, which drove the insurgents out of Alcaracejos and Villanueve Del Duque, causing the collapse of Franco's drive to capture the wealthy Almaden mercury mines, 80 miles south of Madrid were in hot pursuit. Two other loyalist columns, starting from Pozoblanco and Villanueva, raced for Villaharta and Oveja, respectively, to intercept the ins army on the Cordoba highway before it could pass those points, thus subjecting it to attacks on all sides. Sucess of the maneuver would trap the unwieldy nationalist force in the narrow mountain passes around Puerto Catraveno, loyalist officers raid forcing it to surrender or be annihilated. Loyalist aviation bombed the Cordoba highway between Puerto Catraveno and Espiel, four miles south of the mountain pass, Government officials said it would be impossible for the retreating army to pass that point. Unless there was an overnight change in the situation not apparent at the moment, loyalist officers said, slaughter of the Italian and German troops would begin within a few hours unless they surrendered.

As the tide of war seemed to have turned to favor the loyalist cause, the government commanders, were quick to seize their opportunity. A strong drive on Burgos was begun with the idea of crushing the rebellion, if possible, at the seat of its provisional government. General llano de la Uncomiet, in command of the loyalist northern forces, started an offensive in the direction of Burgos, just south of Santander. Late reports said the republican army was within 60 miles of the insurgent capital, which is about 145 miles north of Madrid.

Glass lashed the court plan Monday night in a speech that Robinson said was "destroyed by its bitterness."

In the gold clause case, where his was the only dissenting vote, the justice said that "the constitution is gone." "Vindictiveness and denunciation are indicative of weakness in argument." Robinson said. "Senator Glass added nothing to the argument.

He simply denounced. "In his heart is nothing, but contempt and bitterness.

PLAN WPA STRIKE San Francisco, March 31. (LP)Thirty thousand WPA workers in the San Francisco bay area will go on strike tomorrow morning, Roy Noftz, chairman of the joint committee of the workers' alliance and the federation of government employes announced today.

One of the three resolutions sets forth that the Oregon Workers' Alliance has been officially recognized by federal authorities as "an official body of collective bargaining for the unemployed, part time and relief workers." These resolutions received attention at a meeting of the Alliance last Sunday when members of the county court appeared before the gathering, at which Robert Hogan presided as chairman. Hogan is organizer for the Oregon Workers', Alliance, here.

Commissioner Baer, spokesman for the county officials, touched on the financial setup and the requirements for workers, on relief projects. Judge C. E. Lyon reviewed the county's relief budget and expenditures. At present rate of expenditure, the county is distributing a little more than $440 per month.

it was pointed out. the Sunday meeting, J. A. Tuman, representing the Klamath local No. 2774 of the Lumber and Sawmill Workers' union, touched on the value of unionism.

He said that workers, unemployed as well as employed, were being deprived of their I constitutional rights through "intimidation, unemployment and black list. The Klamath Falls man also declared that free speech is being curtailed in the United States in regard to those advocating the rights of the workers. Roy Cook asked from the floor: "Are there not certain people who would rather stay relief than to take a job when offered one?" He was told by members of the group that this was not so. Commissioner Baer said that there was a certain single man working on a project who would not continue to work, him, because adding his that dog there could was not an- be other man who would not work because he did not like the food. Chairman Hogan countered by saying that had a Workers Alliance man or union man been there he "would have organized the men and gone in a collective body and demanded better food instead of protesting individually.

Hogan gave a brief resume the aims, purposes and principles of the alliance. He said: "We do not believe in force and violence. If the relief committee refuses to arbitrate, the weapons we use are petitions, mass demonstrations, and, as a last resort, the sit-in strike. What we mean by a sit-in strike is to pack the relief office and county court with workers and main until the desired results are obtained." Grading and surfacing work aggregating $300,000 has been approved for the Central Oregon highway in 1937, and before the end of the year there will be an oil mix surface from Bend east over Horse ridge, it was revealed by members of the state highway commission who accompanied Governor Charles H. Martin to Bend last night.

The party of nine, headed by the governor, came here yesterday evening from the east, after approaching the Central Oregon highway over the Bear creek road, and left for Burns, by way of Lakeview and back over the Yellowstone cutoff, this morning. Work proposed on the Central Oregon highway during the 1937 field season follows: 1. Surfacing of the new grade from the end of the present pavement east of Bend over Horse ridge with an oil mix job, to the end of the gravel. Surfacing of the highway from Horse ridge to Brothers with a temporary light oil coat, to lay the dust. Cost: $100,000.

2. Expenditure of $50,000 in extending the oil surface west from the Gap ranch. It is estimated that nine or ten miles of the new grade can be surfaced with road mix under the allocation of money. To Work East of Burns 3. Surfacing and oiling of the Central Oregon highway between Burns and Buchanan, east of the Harney county city.

The bulk of the money available for work on the east-west road this season will be spent on that project. The highway offiicals also brought information that just as soon as the forest road along the upper McKenzie is free of snow the Clear lake detour around the snow-choked McKenzie summit will be opened to travel, but probably not before May. This mountain detour was used for the first time last year. Plans to open the Fish lake- Clear lake detour again this season definitely indicates that the commission does not propose to attempt the early opening of the McKenzie pass. Last night in the Pilot Butte Inn, the governor and his party met informally at a dinner at which not a single speech was made.

In addition to the state officials, members of the Bend chamber of commerce highway committee and George Aitken of Sisters were present for the dinner. County Commissioner W. J. Baer was also present and later ins the evening County Judge C. E.

Lyon conferred with the visitors. Plan High Standards Information relative to plans for work on the Central Oregon highway was obtained from the visitors in informal discussion. Henry F. Cabell, chairman of the highway commission, assured local delegation that when the Central Oregon highway is finally completed its standard will be far above roads of western Oregon. However, it was admitted that the east-west road will hardly be completed by the end of 1938.

The group made the trip to the Brothers area in coming to Bend yesterday to look over that portion of the road that is to be improved in the immediate future. The route has been staked and the survey practically completed, under the direction of Robert G. Gould. Only two members of the commission, Cabell and F. L.

Tou Velle, accompanied the governor here. The third member of the group, E. D. Aldrich of Pendleton, was unable to join in the present road inspection. Other highway officials with the governor, are N.

R. Bishop, H. Baldock, maintenance enengineer; H. G. Smith, construction engineer, and H.

B. Glaisyer, secretary to the commission. Duane Hennessy, staff writer for Oregonian, and A. L. Linbeck of the Oregon Journal, are with the group.

Today, the governor's party will have lunch in Lakeview and tonight there will be a dinner in Burns. A Bend chamber of commerce delegation plans to attend the Burns meeting.
