Madrid brought to the French
frontier by courier last night said
that President Manuel Azana of
Spain shipped truckloads of bag.
,gage to the port of Valencia as
government officials in Madrid
expressed fear the city might fall
before the rebel advance.
Government leaders also said
they were alarmed lest anarchist
militiamen might rampage
through the . Madrid jail and
slaughter some 2000 rebel sup
porters held as hostages.
The anarchists, government of
ficials said they feared, might
thus wreak savage vengeance for
the reported massacre of their
comrades by rebels in several
cities.
Monday's battles in the Span
ish civil war were fought for the
most part from the air.

belligerents.
The Quai d'Orsay went to work

which, it was predicted, soon
would bind European powers to

In Circuit Court
No power rests in the circuit
court to grant Earl H. Fehl, for

theory of the attorney-general's

Store. Closing
Agreement Is
Held Possible
Virtual Accord Reported
Reached at Meeting
of 75 Merchants
Downtown Businesses to
Be Only Ones Taking
Part, Explained
Enthusiasm over the possibility
of a voluntary agreement between
downtown business men for uni
form closing hours was expressed
at a meeting of the Salem Busi
ness Men's league held at the
chamber of commerce last night.
There were 75 retail merchants
who attended the meeting to dis
cuss the problem.
Downtown grocers said that
they had practically reached an
agreement to open their stores
at 8 o'clock in the morning and
to close at 6 p. m. each day but
Saturday when the groceries
would remain open untU 7
o'clock. . "
They were emphatie In point
ing out that the agreement ap
plied only to downtown stores.
They said that it was evident that
the small neighborhood grocery
man had a different problem to
face and that the closing agree
ment would not apply to the out
lying stores. They announced that
there were only two downtown
groceries that had not yet agreed
to the closing proposaL
Other retail merchants said
that a similar agreement for uni
form., closing at 6 o'clock each
night was meeting with the op
position of only two stores and
that they had hopes of getting the
two merchants to sign up.
The concensus of opinion as ex
pressed at the meeting was that
the public was willing to accept
the uniform earlier closing and
that it would be beneficial to

Price Regulation
Requests Lacking
Only Favorable Sentiment
at Meeting, on Basis
-of Testing Out Law
The fact that only one demand
for Invoking the state marketing
act, passed by the 1936 legisla
ture, had been made and that no
petitions for regulation of agri
cultural commodities have .been
filed, makes the possibility of the
enforcement of the law slight,
Solon T.. White, state agricultural,
director, said yesterday. A pub
lic hearing , for the purpose of
receiving suggestions on Invoking
the act was held at the Y.M.C.A.
yesterday, afternoon. Only 12
growers attended the meeting.
Morton Tompkins, state grange
representative, - presented a reso
lution adopted by the grange at
its Btate meeting calling for the
adoption of provisions of the law.
He declared that grange mem
bers -would like to know if the
act is valid before the next legis
lative session so that they could
tell what action to take at that
time.
Other growers present ex
pressed the belief that the act
was unnecessary at the present
time. It was pointed out that
prices were above the parity
schedules called for by the act.
Prune men at the meeting in
dicated they were satisfied with
the voluntary control organiza
tion which set minimum prices
for the Industry two weeks ago.
White said that practically all
farmers whom he had contacted
were opposed to invoking the act
and that as long as no petitions
had been filed his department
would take no action.

was endangered by "widespread
use of the machinery of the fed

The republican presidential

Profit on Liquor
Over Two Million
Estimated For This Year;
General Upturn Noted
Over 1935 Period
Oregon's net profits from sales
of liquor and taxes on light wines
and beers will run. between
32,200,000 and $2,300,000 for the
year 1936 on the basis of earn
ings from the liquor monopoly of
the commonwealth the first seven
months of this year. The gains
will probably exceed by 3400,000
the net income from 1935 when
the state reported a net increase
of $1,891,611 from liquor sales,
taxes and licenses.
A marked upturn in sales of
liquor coupled with a "parallel
gain in license and tax income
accounts for the sizeable gains, all
of which are allocated to unem
ployment relief or to cities under
existing Oregon law, until a total
ot $5,500,000 for unemployment
relief has been turned over to
the state treasury.
Million Remains
To Be Turned Over
At the end of July 31, the state
had net earnings from Its three
fold liquor operations of $4,213,
593 dating from the time the state
system of stores and agencies was
established in March, 1934. Of
this sum there remained . to be
turned over to the unemployment
fund, $1,026,552, a part of which,
however, must be shared with the
