July 28 (U. Police, attracted by a woman's screams, rushed today to the office of Dr. Huston G. Holland, dentist, and found him pulling gold fillings out of Mrs. Blanche Bailey's teeth, while Mrs.

Bailey protested violently. Dr. Holland explained that he had done $47 worth of dental work on her and she had paid him only $25, so he was taking back $22 worth of fillings. Mrs. Bailey, claiming she had been scratched on a shoulder when the dentist pushed her back into the chair as she started to leave, obtained an assault and battery warrant.

The dentist was fined $25 and costs in Municipal Court.

No more successful were Virginia Michaels and Nellie Czuy, who work at Police Headquarters. The kittens just kept getting hungrier and hungrier. Then a new blow fell.

All along Dearing and the women had supposed the tabby was detained with an Important piece of mousing and would be back after a while. They looked upon themselves as merely undertaking an emergency measure. Late in the day, though, word filtered in that a gray cat had been killed by an automobile around the corner from headquarters. Confident that the kittens were orphans, Dearing called the Michigan Humane Society Thursday to ask that either a substitute nursing mother be provided or the kittens taken in by the society. Neil D.

Campbell, general manager for the society, not only could provide a nursing mother, but by coincidence could provide a gray one answering In all details the description of the missing mother. Whereupon, he remembered how the society had come by its gray tabby. Wednesday morning its repre HENDAYE, France, July 28 Generalissimo Francisco Franco today released Ebro flood waters upon Loyalist columns, bombed them mercilessly from the air and sent 20,000 new reinforcements into a counterattack in a desperate effort to shatter the Government's whirlwind offensive in Eastern Spain. Despite the Intense counterof-fensive near Gandesa, insurgent base of operations 90 miles southwest of Barcelona, five columns of the Loyalist international brigade appeared to be holding tenaciously to their conquest of 386 square miles of territory. Gandesa itself was a blasted city for which Government troops and insurgents were battling at close range, with Franco's men apparently holding the town itself.

Thousands Captured Estimates of the number of prisoners taken in the Government drive ranged between 5,000 and 6,000. So much war material was said to have been abandoned by the surprised insurgents that the rout was compared to defeat of Franco's Italian forces on the Madrid-Guadalajara front in March, 1937. A dispatch from Barcelona said that the "People's Army" 60,000 strong and lea by Col. Enrique Lister, a Galician stonemason when the war broke out two years ago had encircled Gandesa, leav ing only enough Infantrymen to besiege the town while the main force pushed ahead on the road west to Alcanlz, 30 miles away by air, 64 by road. Halfway to Alcanlz Government sources said that Lister's men had advanced on both sides of the Gandesa-Alcaniz high way to a point about halfway to Alcaniz, in Teruel Province.

An other column advanced to Bot, 12 miles southwest of Gandesa. The position of the five Gov- renment columns was endangered when the insurgents opened the Tremp hydro-electric power dams 80 miles up the Ebro Valley near the French frontier. Thousands of tons of water roared down the valley toward the Mediterranean, bringing a water rise of six feet and tearing away 12 pontoon bridges thrown across the river to open the way for the Loyalist offensive westward from the borders of Catalonia. The flooding of the Ebro, threatened to cut off the international brigades beyond Gandesa from munitions and supplies, was followed by daylong bombardments of the Government's troops from the air. The insurgents continued to bring up reinforcements said to be mostly Italians to the Gandesa sector from the other side of the Mediterranean corridor tonight, indicating that Franco is determined to drive the Leftists back into Catalonia across the Ebro even at the cost of delaying his march pn Valencia.

Diversion of Franco's Valencia offensive was the prime object cf the surprise Loyalist thrust.

Premier Mitchell Hepburn, of Ontario, found safe after his plane had been reported missing, today abandoned temporarily his air tour of the Dominion. A report from Carcross, Yukon Territory, where the Premier and his party were forced down by stormy weather last night, said that Hepburn had left for Skag-way, Alaska, by train. At Skag-way he will board the steamer Princess Alice tonight, bound for Vancouver, B. C.

The Premier's plane took off late yesterday from Whitehorse for Juneau, about an hour's flight. Anxiety mounted as the hours passed with the party unreported. Lack of communication facilities caused the delay in hearing of the landing at Carcross. Word of the party's arrival halted plans for a widespread search. Idles Down to Graft Charges Red Crisis Forgotten as Insurance Deal Is Brought Up Who Got the Is the Embittered Cry The trial of four suspended offi cers of the U.A.W., which had been devoted to heated quarrels about who is and who la not a Communist, got down to a more materialistic issue Thursday.

The quarrel among the officers moved from behind the guarded trial room to an open red-hot discussion about who would have got the gravy if the union had embarked on a group-insurance program advanced several months ago. Who Got the Each side imputed sordidly mer cenary motives to the other, and there were Insinuations that one side or the other had yielded to the seduction of expensive guts. This question arose: Who got the $20,0007 As the trial went into its fourth day, not to mention the night sessions, the embattled officer continued to hurl charges at eachi other in press statements. The statements are the only public version of the trial procedure, reporters having been barred from the trial room. Homer Martin, president of the U.A.W., has accused Maurice Sugar, attorney for the suspended officers, with attempting to con duct a "Moscow trial.

Sugar, on the other hand, has accused Martin of attempting to block his efforts to cross-examine. Each side charges the other with attempting to keep the true facts from the record. The officers on trial are Wynd-ham Mortimer, Ed Hall, Richard T. Frankensteen and Walter N. Wells, all internation; 1 vice presidents.

George F. Addes, dismissed secretary treasurer, who was suspended with the others, also is in the trial room. Mystery Woman Absent A woman witness who Martin said had been a member of the Communist Party and who he said would testify that Frankensteen attempted to deliver Labor's Nonpartisan League to the Communist Party In Wayne County, failed to appear. Martirrhad said he did not know in what form the woman's story would be submitted. denied the charges and dared Martin to produce the witness.

After Thursday's session Martin said that he had conferred with Federal authorities concerning alleged "poison pen" letters which he said were sent to local unions asking funds.

i Continued Improvement by Chrysler Is Reported NEW YORK, July 28 Walter P. Chrysler, chairman of the board of the Chrysler was re- 'ported today to be making steady in overcoming a circula tory ailment that had confined him to a sanitarium for almost two months. The sixty-three-vear-old motor car magnate left the Leroy Sanl tarium Sunday. He is recuperating i at Ills Crcat Neck XL, estate. Spurt Surprises Producing Plants factories Caught as They Shut Down to Make Changes Field Stocks Fall Off as Production Drops With the steady Increase In retail motor-car sales indicating the likelihood of car shortages before the arrival of the 19I19 model jeasnn, at least three of the automobile-producing companies are speeding plans for an earliqr production of their next year's models In an effort to have shipments to their dealer organizations well under way by Sept.

1, the Wall Street Journal reported Thursday. Retail sales of two of the leading producers have been showing steady weekly Increases since the beginning of July and now are running well ahead of the June rate, while deliveries of a third company are about at the June level, according to field reports covering the first 20 days of this month. 01 her Companies Lag Other companies, however, have txpenenced an appreciable lag this month as compared with June, the ratio of production to tales will decline still further, refilling in a substantial reduction in find inventory and leading to the strong possibility of shortages in some makes of cars in key merchandising points by mid-August. While these signs of an early start on 1939 production are encouraging to materials and parts suppliers, the Journal survey points out, no important releases have been scheduled definitely as yet, and venders generally continue to expect that it will be the last week in August or the first week in September before the industry's weekly output rate shows substantial improvement. Output Will Fall Again With the 1938 assemblies already ended or being completed by nine producers last week and with additional lines tapering off or closing down this week, output probably will fall to around 28.000 tars and trucks, compared with 12,000 last week and 86,403 a year ago.

Change-over plans of a number cf the manufacturing companies have been so far advanced that they cannot be held up to allow current model production schedules to be lengthened as much as is warranted by the unexpected strengthening of the retail market in late June and through July. The result Is that the field stocks of several leading makes cf passenger cars are being reduced to such low levels, and are (wining so unbalanced in re-fml to body types and other varieties affecting consumer buying, that dealers' ability to fill orders is lik'-ly to be affected noticeably fly the middle of next month.

Tyranny Scored by Bar Prejudgment Laid to New Deal Agencies CLEVELAND, July 28 (U. The American Bar Association lashed out today at "despotic" and "absolutism" tendencies of Government administrative agencies, but refused to challenge Supreme Court Justice Hugo L. Black's eligibility or condemn "barbarism" in Nazi Germany. The association's House of Dele gates, powerful governing body for 31,000 American lawyers, approved by unanimous voice vote a report of the Committee on Administrative Law, scoring New Deal bu reaus for rendering decisions on a basis of "pre-formed opinions and prejudices. This section of the report, which mentioned the Securities and Exchange Commission as an example, had drawn the fire of SEC Commissioner Jerome Frank, who charged that the report "defamed" SEC Chairman William O.

Douglas. Frank's protest was not mentioned today. Review by Courts Asked The committee urged laws to permit judicial review of findings of fact by administrative bureaus, extend selective civil service, except to cabinet officers and assistant secretaries of departments "engaged In quasi-judicial, as distinguished from policy-making administrative activities" and tighten eligibility requirements for practice before the agencies. The proposed dispute of Black's appointment by President Roose velt on grounds that the former Alabama Senator had been a member of the Congress that raised Supreme Court justices' pay, drew some debate, but was killed by a vote of 67 to 18. The house also followed the reso lution committee's rejection recommendation on a demand for condemnation of Nazi German Government policies in the "recrudescence of barbarism and cruelty" during the Nazification of Austria.

Delegates heard a warning from a committee on proposals affecting the United States Supreme Court against possible new attempts to pack the court.

She said that her husband was a member of the United Dairy Workers and worked in a closed shop.

Union rules require that those employed do picket duty at the Wayne Creamery, where strike is reported, she said.

Women of Neighborhood Unite in Plea for Little Mother Three middle aged women walked four miles in Thursday's heat to bring the director of the Free Press Fresh Air Camp their plea that something be done for Anna. Flushed with the long walk, they stood before the camp director's desk in their broken shoes and worn clothes and in halting English told their story.

All day she laugh, she sing. Everybody love her. "One year ago her mother die. Anna, she is 13 and she has to take care of two brothers, three sisters. All littler than she.

Her father good man. He works. But all summer Anna is home with children. She try hard to be mother to them. It is very hard for Anna.

No time to sing now. She does not laugh. And, Lady, she is so thin and white. Please, could Anna go to your camp? "All the mothers on our street, they ask you, please could you send Anna. AH of us we will take Anna's brothers or sisters, while she is gone.

We feed them and watch them good." The camp has already exceeded its budget. It will cost $10 to send Anna to Sylvan Lake where 193 other children are enjoying the summer days. Perhaps you can give that $10. Perhaps several of you can give it jointly. If you can.

will you send a check or the cash to the Free Press Fresh Air Fund and send a note with it saying it is for the little mother five? If you do, Anna will be in camp Saturday night..
