They announced the recapture of the national Institute of biology In the northeastern Madrid section and said withdrawal of their forces from Casa De Campo park, across the Mansanares river from Madrid on the west, had strengthened the Uni versity City corps. Official reports reached Madrid to confirm the sinking of a Spanish merchantman last Tuesday off Pal amos, on the eastern Spanish coast, by 40 fascist shells from the Insurg ent cruiser Canarias. (The reports were strikingly similar to those heard at Franco-Spanish border points four days ago, and rebroad cast by insurgent radio stations last night.) A day of heavy, freezing rain, gave the grateful capital respite from aerial bombardment. Pressed by an increasing food shortage, the government offered free transportation to the eastern Levante regions of Spain for wom en, children and old persons of both sexes. The intense cold Increased the hardships of the homeless. All available apartments In the so-called neutral zone In the north eastern part of Madrid were ordered listed, to find a refuge for the des titute. As many as nine or ten fam ilies' were living in single apartments as the evacuation of the northwest ern and western sections increased.

The diplomatic corps, it was de clared, again has prompted its mem bers to urge their respective gov ernments to "take steps to prevent a recurrence of the cruel aerial bombings" of the last sixteen days. Official circles insisted the recog nition of the burgos fascist govern ment by Italy and Germany was an indication the Insurgents had be come convinced they would not take Madrid. Today, General Jode Malja, de fense chief, declared: "The loyalists are maneuvering to crush the foe In a single, decisive battle."

Thejr Return Tonite Your Request At t u-tJiArmt a DANCEvn rry MELL0M00N '2k. TONITE By CLAYTON V. BERNHARD At once showing keen interest, members of the legisla tive interim committee, state planning board, and others at the conference here this week leaned forward in their seats. "What was that you said, Mr. Holman?' Committee Chairman D O. Hood asked. "I said that Oregon has no need of 30 counties," the state treasurer replied. And from then on Holman stole the show on state governmental re organisation at the board of control meeting. "I know that making such a state- US CONSULATE AT BARCELONA MAY BE CLOSED (Continued from pass 1) 300 Americans stUl are in Madrid. Several score more were believed to be in Barcelona, From the latter place Consul General Mahlon F. Perkins, reported that he had distributed the follow ing notice to Americans in that city: "Citizens of the United States of America and under the protection of the United States of America who continue to remain In this consular district during the present disturbed conditions should and do under stand that they do so at their own risk and on their own responslbUlty. "This consulate Is liable to be closed at any time. In such a con tingency, It Is believed that It would not be practicable to give previous notice of this fact." The consul general's dispatch gave no details of the situation prevail ing In the Catalonian capital, where insurgent Generalissimo Francisco Franco has announced the intention of the fascist command to close the port to aU foreign shipping. Indirect notice of this Intention, given the American consul at Se ville yesterday, elicited no response from the American government. ENGLISH CLASSES PRESENT PROGRAM Hazel Green The English classes of the upper grades held a combined program as part of their English work.

JOINING BASEBALL SCHOOL Jefferson Francis Gatchell was a dinner guest Thursday night at the Carl Mays home in Portland. Gatchell will again enroll In the Carl Mays baseball school In the spring. ment Is not politically wise, but it Is a fact," the treasurer said In ex plaining his stand. "Driving through the state a motorist can pass through a different county seat ev ery hour and three minutes. Driv ing from my place In Portland to the state capital I pass through three county seats in an hour. "This is one of the things your Interim committee on state govern ment reorganization will have to face sooner or later. With modern transportation facilities that many governments, and costly govern ments, are unnecessary. Surely peo ple want and need local government, but not to that extent." The treasurer, after protesting strongly the proposal to take the in heritance tax department from his Jurisdiction and put it with the tax commission, offered suggestions for a state sinking fund commission, which, he said, would make It pos sible to handle city, county, district and state funds to far more ad vantage." Two years ago the roU caU at the house of the Oregon legislature started something Uke this: "Barnes, Bolvtn, Bull." A new session Is ap proaching and the trio right now is figuring more prominently than ever. Two years ago the three took the friendly jibes of colleagues on their barnyard sounding names, even though none of them was a farmer. But now the situation is different and the three, all democrats, are In a two-way fight to control the speakership of the 1937 legislative session. The past week saw Harry Boivln of Klamath Palls announce suffi cient pledges to assure him of the speakership election. Ellis Barnes of Portland has thrown his lot with Vernon BuU of La Grande to pro mote the latter for speakership against Boivln. Barnes, it Is gener ally known, would like to be chair- man of the powerful house ways and means committee. The "roU your own home" situa tion Is becoming a problem In Ore gon as well as in other states, and the legislature will be given an op portunity to give the matter some thought, word from the state de partment Indicated. Oregon laws provide for a trailer license, but there Is no other regu lation for the motorized homes. Some cities are putting in trailer camps and providing a small degree of sanitation, but other than that Oregon ha no provision for this modern home living. Secretary of State Earl Snell has stated that Oregon should take the lead to provide adequate sanitation for the trailer residents and should further provide some regulation and fee for the non-residents of the state. Some proposals will be put before the legislature. Prominent democrat her de clared the appointment of a fed eral Judge to succeed the lata John McNary has narrowed down to two men Circuit Judge Earl C. Latour- ette of Oregon City and Attorney Evan Reames of Medford. Latour etto Is a brother of the national democratic committeeman. Republicans, on the other hand, stated that should Senator Charles L. McNary wish It, he might win the appointment for himself. Friends of McNary are disagreed as to wheth er he would welcome such a prof fer. Some said McNary would favor the appointment of Reames, - 1. 1 .jlJ IjH -LI AwA .sua Clark Gable, famous film lover, wields a mean punch when In action, and landed a real haymaker on his professional opponent when making the Cosmopolitan production, "Cain and Mabel," In which he Is co-starred with Marlon Dairies, now playing at the E lain ore theatre a a Warner Bros, release.
