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.
However, the defense junta an

would be only "temporary."
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."

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. The programs were in ooserv.
ance of National Book week and
Mary Mlo and Donald Zlellnskl were
general chairmen, assisted by Ce
celia Kasper and Geraldlne Wolf.
Readings were given by Marlon
Wampler, Gene Rutherford and
Henry Yoshlkal. A harmonica solo
was rendered by Andrew Zahara
and Marlon Wampler played a piano
sola Irene Wacken told the story of
Grumpy Pete and humorous play
let. "The B reman Musician" was

Donkey, Frank Miles; dog, Raymond
Duda, cat, Joseph Yada; cock, Gene
Rutherford; chief robber, Stanley
Fukal; man, Andrew Zahara; rob
ber, Tom Yoshlkal.

JOINING BASEBALL SCHOOL
Jefferson Francis Gatchell was
a dinner guest Thursday night at
the Carl Mays home in Portland.

Carl Mays baseball school In the

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,
