Speaker Bankhcnd Indicated the leaders were ready to put on the pressure to block all bills except those of the utmost importance which would authorize extra appro priations. The President, furthermore, said a measure probably would be of- ti red to let him withhold from fed era 1 deia rtmen ts a ppropria tions which he considered unnecessary. He wanted to keep the relief fund at l.fi00.000,000, however, on the. ground that any smaller amount would mislead the nation and ne cessitate a later request for addi tional funds. The Works Progress Administra tion said today unemployment would continue to be a serious prob lem in coming months and that even a high tide of prosperity could not cut the roll of Jobless below 4,000,000. A report by Deputy Adminis trator Aubrey William blamed changing productivity and additions to the labor supply. He urged an "IntegraU-d and perfected program of Insurance, public work and pub lic assistance." "Acceptance of evn an optim istic forecast of 6,500 000 to 7.500.000 unemployed in 1937 presuppose nearly as great a need for a fed eral public works program as in 1936." Williams said. Employment on the works pro gram, the report showed, dropped from a peak of 3.839.000 in March, 1936, to 2.884.000 on last February 20. The average WPA monthly ex penditure declined from $172,000,000 for March. 1936, to $148,000,000 for January, 1937. FORBES MORGAN DIES SUDDENLY Columbus, O., April 21 (Pi W.

Franco's Teruel salient. the southerly spearhead of his Aragon army, for months had threatened communications between Valencia and Catalonia in northeastern Spain. His efloits to cut Catalonia from the remainder of government- held Spain had carried his men within 60 miles of the coast. But the insurgent forces were definitely on the defensive yester day when the government column, protected by tanks and aerial bombing and machine gunning, swept into Celadas. Three thousand rounds or am munition, nine field pieces and H machine guns were the govern ment's prizes. Madrid. April 21 () The tenth day of incessant Insurgent shellfire rolled up a total of 150 dead within Madrid today and forced a grave test of the city's fatalism under nearly a half year of siege. Thirty-two bodies were hauled to morgues this evening, the grim har vesL of today's insurgent cannonade from the besiegers' gun emplace ments in the city's suburbs. At least 100 more were injured to day, a third of them, gravely. The fatali'ies made the toll approximate- ,y lfiO for the ten days of bombard ment. The newest phase of the bombard ment began before dawn and lasted. with the briefest of lulls, all day. SmeJiK like 250 shells were pour- ed into this city of a million people; Madrid's Gran Via. her Broadway," was made a major front of war. As this was being telephoned, big shells were falling, one every two or three minutes, in the Gran Via.

Uncensured reports reaching the Fran co -Spanish border indicated the Valencia government was getting the upper hand over troubulous anarch ist elements. In his own "capital, Salamanca, insurgent General Francisco Franco began organizing his proposed au thoritarian state, with himself at the head. CANYON CITY WILLJEBUILD Canyon City. Ore., April 21 J While the charred ruins of what had been the town's business section still smolderrd, citizens of Canyon City planned today to rebuild, "big ger and better than ever." "We may be down now, but we arc far from out." Mayor R. W. Co zad summed up the sentiment of the community, rich in the tradition of the indomitable "old west." Efforts will be made immediately to secure WPA assistance and re building will begin as soon as pos sible, the mayor said. Landmarks dear to the heart of the historical minded were among the 15 business buildings destroyed by the fire Monday night. But to the 350 residents who have only a bar ber shop, an abstract office, a Pas time parlor and an old company of fice left, the loss is more poignant, sentimentally and financially. Many remember the old days when the town boomed with the finding of millions of dollars in sold. Others have heard tales of the old. wild days from their parents and have spent their lives among the natural and man-made stage set tings of that early-day drama. The house where Joaquin Miller, famous western poet, once lived es caped the flames, but other land marks of equal historical back ground were destroyed. Actual financial damage from the Tire was estimated at a mere $100. 000. but Canyon City, and ail of Oregon, values the loss in other terms.

They did n't say how much they wanted, stating that was a matter for the court to consider. "The cot of everything wc buy is going up." said one member of (lie crew. "The coil of everything the coun ty buys is alto going up," said Judge Siecmund. Commissioner Melson explained that the court was working on a budget with just so much money to spend and if the spread Is narrow ed down in one place it will have to be widened in another. He said that the bridge crew men worked virtually the year around while men under similar employment with the slate or private contractors only worked when specific jobs were provided and then were laid orf. "They might get a little more than you men a day but the year around you're better off," he said. In response to a statement from a member of the bridge crew that some road patrolmen made more than they did. Commissioner Hew lett said these men were allowed 40 cents a day extra over their $4 pay for carrying gasoline and oil out to their jobs. "They get 40 cents a day extra for a service that costs them more than that to per form," he said. The court members said thev would give consideration to the bridge crew's request but didn't give much encouragement that It would be granted. ACCUSED AIM EE OF LOVEAFFAIR Las Angeles, April 21 tVi Jacob Moidel, former attorney for Evan gelist Aimce Semple McPherson's Angelus temple, testified today that he accused her last September of being in love with Giles Knight, now temple business manager. Moidel said the evangelist's daughter, Roberta Semple, then turned to her and said: "Mother, you'll have to make a choice now. You'll have to choose either me or Mr. Knight. Mrs. Mcpherson replied. "I want Mr. Knight," Moidel testified. The red-haired youncr lawyer was a witness in trail of Miss Semple's $150,000 slander suit against Willedd Andrews, present temple attorney. Moidel said Mrs. McPherson liv ed in fear that someone would take Angelus temple from her.

DECISION FOR PLAINTIFF IN ESTATE CASE Circuit Judge Lcwelling thif morning in handing down a deci sion in the case of Chester B. Zum walt. administrator of the estate of Mary L. Radford, against Inez Knapp and others, held that the plaintiff is entitled as administra tor to receive the balance of the purchase price on a real estate con tract and that a deed to the prop erty involved made out to Inez Knapp be cancelled. The plaintiff had alleged that a deed to the property from Mary L. Radford to Inez Knapp was void, that it was given without consid eration, that any arrangement made in regard to it was revoked during the life of Mary L. Radford and he alleged that Inez Knapp had repeatedly represented to Mary L. Radford that the deed had been destroyed. On the other hand Inez Knapp maintained the deed was valid, had been given for a consid eration and denied she'd made any misrepresentations. The property had been sold to Anna Boelter who had made pay ments on it and in her answer agreed to pay the balance of the purchase price and asked for a de cree declaring her owner of the property. The sale had been made by Mary L. Radford who'd received the purchase price payments. In the case of Nellie Fahey against Herrall - Owens company Judge Levelling overruled demur rers and gave the plaintiff 10 days in which to reply. In the case of Herfurth vs. Bosch he overruled a motion to strike and the plaintiff also was given 10 days In which to reply. mer associate pastor, of attempting to deliver the temple property into the hands of a "Catholic bank," and expressed belief that "the Pope wants my temple."
